So we're continuing on with the original Lynch household.
The triplets aged into teens, baby Desmond was born and not much else really happened.
So lets continue!
Oh come on!
Bed glitch - or a sleeping invisible man?
I should really help him work on getting those 50 dream dates, he keeps doing this.
Beautiful.
I gave Michelle another makeover. She seems to like it and I think this suits her a lot better.
It was either this one or the same hair that her daughter's got.
I need to find more nice hair.
Alicia: Stupid Smitty...
What's Smitty done to derseve that?
Oh... he's in the shower which means you can't use the only toilet in the whole house. Gotcha.
Teens being suspicious...
And the bed's still got the invisible man sleeping in there.
When all the sims want to hold the baby, no sim gets to hold the baby.
I'm not even joking - THEY WERE AT THIS FOR AGES
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry but in the end it was too painful and I had to intervene.
Okay, now-
NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
What was the point of all of them trying to hold him?!
Don't look so happy about the situation!
Alicia has that motherly instinct after all.
Jackson broke his hand.
Maybe he held the baby weird?
That's right, baby goes IN the crib.
No one cares about Jackson's need for cleanliness.
Jackson sold his dad's painting and got this positive memory.
It wasn't your painting and the money wasn't even for you.
Ty: Oh good, one of my kids is finally going on a date. There's still hope for my legacy!
Meh, I don't mind Tosha's face (wow I remembered a townie's name!)
Here are some better images of the house.
There's no point showing the inside because there's nothing special to see, it's still mostly empty.
He's so eager to spy on his brother isn't he?
Ty's just... being Ty.
They do kinda look cute together.
I'm not so keen on her side profile though.
I get the feeling Jackson didn't know aliens existed.
Sliding down the banister just because you can.
Tosha: Dayum son I can see definition in those shorts-
Ty: That's my boy, he inherited all his good bits from me!
Ty dumped the baby on the floor to wash himself at the sink.
Fabulous parenting.
Ty: You don't understand, my stink was unbearable!!
Huh. It seems that the Sexy Feet mod doesn't work well with this skin texture.
Not that it really matters, but it looks funny so I thought I'll share it here.
NO. MORE. BABIES.
It's too much work trying to take care of you guys as it is!!
She wants to make money. Gotta start somewhere I guess?
She may be blue with purple eyes but I like her features. She's cute!
Jackson got to see an alien for real! And he likes her...
I know he's got Tosha but they're not going steady yet and it's good to explore your options.
Jackson: My parents are too old to have this baby. They should put it up for adoption.
I don't know what Kelly is doing to the fridge (I think her name is Kelly? I'm gonna call her Kelly.)
Birthday time!
Desmond's cute, though he looks a lot like Everard and Ty. I know, I keep saying it.
I would have liked more genetic diversity but what can you do? There's still the future generations.
Such a little cutie!
Tosha's senses were tingling and shortly after Jackson started trying to flirt with Kelly, she appeared.
Ty: Why are there always so many teenagers in my house?
Teenagers everywhere.
Just a dancing baby, nothing to see here-
Maybe I'm childish but I couldn't stop laughing every time this happened. There's some kind of glitch, the toddler will do the normal toddler dancing then every now and then he'll do this teen/adult dance animation (which makes him float in the air.)
This is what happens when you're a family of 5 with an average of 3 guest sims a day and you only have one toilet.
Ty: Do you mind? What I'm doing is very important and you're both in my way!
What makes this all the more inappropriate is that this is Ty and Michelle's bedroom as well.
I've been making these two have as many dream dates as I can to fulfill Ty's LTW.
I got the family a car because they all kept rolling wants for one, but none of them even use it.
Seems like they only bought it for one thing...
Ty: I'm not so sure about this now, isn't it too cold for woohooing outside?
You rolled the want for it!!
Ty: That was in the heat of the moment!
Aw!
And just like that, all his doubts and second-thoughts vanished.
It quickly became a very common activity every time they went on a date. I usually wait until the roll a want to woohoo in the car and do a regular woohoo, it's a huge boost that will either get the date to dream date status or very close to it.
Michelle: Didn't we have a baby recently?
Ty: That was years ago, they're teenagers now
Michelle: I'm sure I remember giving birth with the triplets watching...
It's okay, Smitty pays attention to the baby.
Ty: :)
Ty: We didn't come here to talk about your graphs woman, we came here to take care of business! D:<
Ty's really horny.
They're not winning any gardening awards any time soon.
Ooh the boys have uniforms now!
Man that's a lot of homework.
You two can't complain about seeing your parents like this when you're in THEIR room!
They both ran off to play on the sofa.
Washing the kid in a dirty bath.
Makes sense.
Ty and Desmond's aspiration meters were looking okay so I had Ty make some smart milk. It takes way too long getting those baby skills!
Welcome back, sleep deprivation. It's been a while.
I'd cry too if I woke up in a pile of homework.
This might seem weird but I think his skin is a nice colour.
Ty made mac and cheese. See, Alicia? This is what it's supposed to look like, not like this!
Finally got a gardener!
Michelle has work and the triplets have school so it's just these two during the day.
Or... it used to be. It's Desmond's birthday!
Well I can't deny he's a cute kid (he just looks like a clone of his brothers)
Smitty wanted to go on a date so I let him try it with Kelly. She was really tough to impress for Jackson anyway.
I don't remember that guy's name but he's always coming home with Alicia. I think she was asleep at this time, so he instead followed these two around. It was creepy.
Smitty: He's stealing my girl :(
Dude, go away!
They might be kissing next to a stinky, dirty toilet but at least they have some privacy!
DUDE!
I don't like it when they kiss each other after a date finishes because it counts as their first kiss. This happened to Jackson and Smitty now. :/
He wanted to go steady with her so I let him.
Ty: Come here baby I'll give you a really good back rub! <3
Isn't it awkward when you leave your boyfriend/girlfriend's house and their parents are woohooing in the car outside?
Mechanic Guy: Why am I saying this to a kid?
Alicia got food poisoning or flu or something. Jackson is a family sim so I got him to make some comfort soup. It healed her right up! :D
I love you Jackson but stop leaving the phone on the floor.
He's done this twice now.
Just a quick date before work...
He put the phone back properly then Ty came over to play red hands. I love these little moments.
Calm down son!
Desmond still dances.
Holy shit, this is a really cute sim! :o
This guy looks nice too!
Michelle's LTW is to reach the top of the criminal career so I got her to switch from her law enforcement job (which she had because it was the first job I unlocked while doing the BACC) and got her a job as a criminal.
She's nearly an elder so I might have her drink more elixir of life - if I remember right, elders have the same jobs as teens. So yeah, this is her last chance! :o
This guy is weeding my garden - perfect husband material! :o
My game's full of aliens!
Not that I mind of course, I like having diverse sims.
The girlfriends are hanging out together but not even looking at each other... weird.
Anyway, the triplets age up soon. I had the boys go on dates with their girlfriends so they could grow up well.
Alicia hasn't been seen much but honestly, she hasn't really done anything except go to school, go to work and paint.
But I wanted her to grow up well so I got her to go on a date as well. See that notification up there? She took advantage of that.
At first they just weren't getting along, I don't know why but it seemed she kept saying the wrong thing - their short-term relationship was -14 and long-term was -1. I had them hang out for a while (a really long while.)
Ty... being Ty.
Whatever Tosha.
Here, have a better look at Orlando.
She's happy so it's time to age up!
Jackson has no confetti but yeah, here's the triplets all aged up. They look just like their teen-selves.
I'm sorry I didn't show more of Alicia (or even Michelle for that matter) but she was so boring. She had the same wants the entire time as well (go to university, go to private school, earn money, grow up well) - I even used SimBlender to re-roll her wants several times but they were the exact same each time.
She had a want for a bar once, which I bought (it's behind the picture of the girlfriends talking but not looking at each other) and a want for a car and to be BFF's with Desmond. That's it.
I'm going to finish off with Smitty crying as Jackson drops a dump.
I'll post the heir candidates in the next post with their details and you can comment if you have an opinion on who you like the most.
