Week 2

Well, here it is, Week 2.

There’s some more music by A Perfect Circle playing at the bottom of the page.  Feel free to pause it, the widget is at the very bottom.  I just really like APC.  :)

When we left off last week, Karma had gone to the hospital to give birth.  I was hoping for multiples, but…

SUNDAY

Only a single birth.  :(
It’s a little girl.  Her name is Rainbow.  Maybe if she doesn’t end up as the heiress, I’ll make her a lesbian.  I mean, c’mon.  You can’t be straight with a name like “Rainbow.”

Aaawwwhhh, bringing home baby Rainbow.  :D
It would suck to have a newborn and be an elder, though.  Poor Gunther.
“Poor Gunther?  Nah, man, poor ME.  When the universe decides that it’s his time to become a part of the ecosystem, I’ll be left behind!”
I guess it sucks on both ends.  Oh well.

This is Rainbow Love.  She’s pretty cute.  I don’t know if I like how in TS3 the babies are always swaddled like that, though.
Yeah, when you wrap a baby up really tight like that, it’s called “swaddling.”  I do it to my own daughter, but only when she’s going to bed.  It’s supposed to make them feel like they’re still in the womb, or something. 

I randomized Rainbow’s traits, and the first two that popped up were Clumsy and Athletic, so I just chose those for her.
Her favorites are kid’s music, stu surprise, and the color purple.  I think it’s strange how newborns can have favorite a favorite music genre, food, and color, for the rest of their life.  When I was a newborn, I’m pretty sure my favorite food was tits.

Karma and Gunther don’t get to go to sleep till it’s almost sunrise.  Aren’t they precious?  I’ll be so sad when Gunther dies.

Hmm, it seems as though Karma has gotten her hand cut off by the sink.

Karma had a wish to go play the guitar in the park.  Which is just fine, because they don’t live too far away from town, and TS3 makes it so much easier to keep track of sims on community lots.

When Karma got back from the park, she finally started putting her “green thumb” trait to use.  They’re just apple trees though, nothing special.

While Karma plants her apple seeds, Gunther paints… a self portrait?
“This is my version of the Mona Lisa.  I call it, ‘Cloud Woman Breaking Wind.’”

 

MONDAY

(It was early Monday morning before they even went to bed.  Damn babies, ruining sleep patterns.)

“Hey, you know, your silver hair is pretty foxy.”

“Karma!  We just had a beautiful little girl, you’re crazy to think that I could handle another baby!  I’m too old!  And besides… I need some sort of commitment…”
Gunther hopped out of bed.  Karma followed.

 Gunther took Karma’s hand in his.
“I… I know you don’t believe in marriage… but, it would mean a lot to me if we could at least refer to each other as ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend.’  I’m too old to just be ‘shacking up’ with a pretty young thing like you…”
“I’m tired, babe, I just wanted to make a lil’ love before crashing… what are you trying to say?”
“W-will you go steady with me?”
“Awh, Gunther, babe, we’re not in high school.  But, if it makes you feel better about givin’ me some sweet, sweet love, then sure.”

And so, woohoo ensues.  I MAY or may HAVE NOT heard a lullaby.  ;)

Later that day, when the two bums decide to get out of bed FINALLY, Gunther starts to work on a science fiction novel.  I forgot what it was called.  But, is it really that important?

Oh, I re-did their bedroom too.  Do you know how hard it is to combine Gunther and Karma’s favorite colors (green and black) without making it look gothic?  It’s hard.

Ahh, multi-tasking motherhood.  Another thing I <3 about Sims 3.

:O Morning sickness?
“Well, it’s either morning sickness or green sickness.”

So lately, I’ve been feeling bad for Gunther because he and Mortimer (I keep wanting to say Alexander) had a really good relationship, and it’s been a while since they’ve talked.

DAMN!!  Mortimer is pretty good looking.  :)

“Morty!  It’s been too long, my boy!”
“Hey old man!  I miss you!  All Mom does is grump around and talk to herself about how much she hates you.”

lol @ matching jackets.
How lame.  I’ll have to change Gunther’s clothes, hahaha.

Awwh, look, Karma’s showing.  <3
THIS BETTER BE MULTIPLES.  >:O

 

TUESDAY

“Hey honey, maybe you should lay off the waffles.  You’re getting pretty puffy.  Are those your old maternity clothes?”
“Yeah, babe.  I’m pregnant again.”
“…Oh.”

Yay, apple trees are getting bigger!  I really should get Karma more seeds… but gardens take up so much damn time.  Maybe when Rainbow’s a little older, and when her fetus(es?) can take care of itself/themselves.

Rainbow’s a birthday girl today.  :)  Karma has the trait where everybody attends any party she throws, so she calls out the invites.

Karma also makes a run to the market to buy a birthday cake, and some watermelons.  *cough*  I don’t like boys.

Savor (savour?) this moment while it lasts, Gunther.  Your little girl is gonna become a toddler soon!  The party’s already started downstairs.

“I know I shouldn’t hate, man… but that Cornelia really burns my patchouli!”
Deep breaths, Karma.  Deeeeep breaths.
Oh, by the way, did you notice I put wallpaper in the living room?  I have no sense of style, can you tell?

GUNTHER.  RAAAWR.  Get out of here, I’m trying to have Karma bring Rainbow to the cake, dammit!
Stupid old farts, socializing in front of the baby’s crib.

FINALLY we get Rainbow to the cake.

Umm… Karma?  Why did you just put Rainbow on the floor and walk away…?

Oh, she grew herself up.  :)
I can already tell she’s going to look good.  She already looks quite a bit like Gunther.

Rainbow: “Waah, someone pick me up, I’m lonely!”
Everyone: “Jeez, will someone shut that baby up?!”

1st birthday party = success.

 

WEDNESDAY

Stupid party guests… to my surprise, the toilet AND sink were both broken by next morning.

Oh yes, Rainbow is definitely adorable.  ^_^

I decorated Rainbow’s room, too.  And I repeat, I have no sense of style.

Karma wished to teach Rainbow to walk today, so that’s what she did.  :)

WTF?  What kind of maid brushes her teeth in the only sink in the house, while the poor elderly man tries to do dishes?

I love Karma and Gunther.  :3  They’re so cute, always wishing to kiss and stuff.  I’ll probably cry when Gunther dies.

 

THURSDAY

Very early that morning, Karma’s contractions begin.
“All right babe, here it comes!  Get out the incense, the herbal tea, and the towels!”

“WHAT?!  No, Karma, you’re going to deliver my child in a sterile hospital!  I’ll call a babysitter for Rainbow.  But you are NOT going to ruin the new bed sheets!”

Eep.  The babysitter was a major creeper.  I think I liked having old ladies for babysitters better… I don’t know, I’d never let some random young man with blonde hair and a floral shirt watch my baby girl.  But maybe that’s just me.

TWINS!!!
Their names are Harmony and Sativa.
*cough* Sativa is Latin for “useful,” don’t you know.  ;)

I re-did Rainbow’s bedroom and made it the twins’.  Harmony is on the left, Sativa is on the right.

Harmony’s favorite are Latin music, salmon, and the color grey.  She’s easily impressed and a light sleeper.
Sativa also likes Latin music.  But her favorite food is hamburger, and her favorite color is lilac.  Sativa is a light sleeper, too.  But she’s also clumsy.
Both of the twins’ traits were locked in from the start.  I would’ve just randomized them anyway, so whatever.

Here’s the new bedroom I built for Rainbow, which actually has more space in it than the twins’ room.

The rest of the day was basically a blur of attempted sleep, playing with Rainbow, and keeping the twins occupied.  Stupid light sleeper trait, they wake up all the time.

Maybe this will be more difficult than I thought.

Oh, yeah, I got Gunther some new clothes, too. He needed a more youthful appearance.

Gunther also teaches Rainbow to talk.

 

FRIDAY

“I’m soooo hungry!”
Suck it up, Gunther, and potty train your girl.

Woo, harvestable apples!  Oh, I also put some plots where future things will grow.  Eventually.

Yeah, twins is definitely harder than I thought it would be.  I’m sure it would be easier if Gunther wasn’t an elder.

 

SATURDAY

It’s the twins’ birthday today.  :D  While Gunther talks to his son, Mortimer, on the phone, Karma sends out invites.

*sigh*  I wish there was more time for Gunther to skill.  He’s so far away from his Lifetime Wish, and I play every second of this game like it’s his last, because, well, I have no idea when he’s going to die.  I’ve never, EVER played a sim long enough to see them die of old age… so I’m really nervous.

There’s really no point to this picture, except that I’m completely in love with Rainbow.  <3  She’s so much easier to handle than Harmony and Sativa.

Well, the birthday party for Harmony and Sativa has begun, and I must say, I do like the pizza girl’s hair.  I had my hair bright red with black streaks once.  :D  It’s a bitch to keep up with though, you have to get monthly touch-ups, and you have to shower in cold water to keep the color vibrant.  If you don’t, it fades in a couple weeks, and looks like a gnarly orange color.  I was too lazy, so I just bleached it out.

Looks like Harmony is the first to turn into a toddler!

Bye-bye little screaming stationary lump…

…and hello, little girl with boy clothes?  No, this will not do.  I’ll have to give Harmony a makeover.

But before I makeover Harmony, it’s time to turn Sativa into a toddler!  :D

Ehh, she’s cute, but she’ll be getting a makeover too.  I am completely in love with her green eyes, though.  They fit.

As the party started to come to an end, all of the babies and adults started to get fussy.

There’s Harmony after her makeover.  :)  She’s cuuuute!  I kept her little balding hair, I think it’s more realistic.

And there’s Sativa.  I made the twins look pretty much alike, except for their sweater color.  I just stereotype twins like that.

Well, ladies and gentlemen… this is where this week ends.  Be sure to check in for Week 3, where there are some birthdays, some promotions, and stuff… I’m actually not sure what happens in Week 3, because I play my game as I write chapters (which is why it takes me a little bit longer to get the weeks published). 
Kbai.
