READ HERE.

ISLA BRISA // YEAR ONE, WEEK THREE // PLUM/FIRE HOUSEHOLD

Warnings: Censored sim nips.

Our ROS this week:

Minor events: *  Games night: Electronic or board, it's up to you. Your family spends the evening playing game (and no homework for any of the children).  *

Major events: *  Stock market crash: Lose d100 percent of your total family funds, this includes any money saved up in bank accounts. If you lose it all, hope you've got some emergency income somewhere!  *

*  9. Insurance raises premiums Deduct from funds: (d100) x 5  *

They’re already very poor, and we’re working on that repo ROS from last week so, uh. No moneys.

But! The Law Enforcement career has been unlocked for a while, so we’re finally putting Jannick in it! Since it’s his LTW and all.

He heads around back to jump rope to build his body skill and also ignore the man coming to take away even more of his possessions.

Took the counters this time. (2/3)

Hema comes home with Maggie, and they make quick friends ♥

That water balloon looks like, I don’t know, a fat ear of corn or something.

Handsome in his uniform ♥

With Jannick getting fit, he and Jana are up to three bolts!

This time, Sam comes home with Maggie.

Sam. That’s great. But this isn’t your household.

Sam takes a liking to Tropico, who looks none too amused by this development.

Jana: Hug?

Maggie: Ugh, no.

Adolescent angst already, Maggie?

But Jannick, you’ve gotten a promotion in your dream career!

Her weather face is, uh...interesting.

Yes, I did photograph every new uniform of Jannick’s. It’s important!

She’s just so expressive!

Jannick. He’s married. You’re living with the mother of your child. You cheated on him. I think you need to let go.

Birthday time for Isla Brisa’s first baby!

Jana and Jannick think this is more important than celebrating their daughter’s birthday. Keep in mind this is all in one room. Shame!

Maggie grows into a Pleasure sim who likes charismatic women who wear jewelry, so long as they’re not in shape. Her LTW eventually rolls as Become a Professional Party Guest.

I liked this default replacement, but I think those boobs are pretty ridiculous, especially for a teenager :/ I mean, I had boobs that size at 14, but still. It was awful. And I’m not a fan of sexualizing teen girls. I replaced the replacement, but does anybody know where I can find those shorts, or a mesh that uses those shoes/socks?

Jana maxes out painting! Hopefully some more income will start rolling in between this and Jannick’s job, and they won’t live in poverty any longer.

Returning to her first love.

As you can see, I changed Maggie’s clothes. She’s a big fan of jump roping.

Boris: Well. You can do this.

Boris: Jana. I want to apologize.

Jana: For what?

Boris: I treated you and Jannick unfairly. Now I am married to Philippe and I am very happy. I want no bad blood.

Jana: Look, Boris. I appreciate it, but I think it would be better for all of us if you stopped lingering around here. If you’re really happy with Philippe, why do you stalk Jannick?

Boris: Stalk? I do not stalk! I come here to apologize, and you are still so rude to me? Fine. I will leave.

I still don’t know how to run sim businesses. And LOL, Maggie, no.

You make do when you have no money for a dining table, or even separate rooms. All you need is love!

Really? REALLY? You took the store opening sign? But this is their last challenge-dictated reposession, so at least they start paying their bills again. With all three simoleons they have in the bank.

Caroline: Jannick! Hey! It seems our girls are becoming friends.

Jannick: Indeed. Have you heard from Boris lately?

Caorline: Yeah, I have. Look, Jannick. Let it go. You both have great new families...you don’t need this.

We interrupt the drama for this Very Important Announcement.

Jannick: Caroline, I just don’t think you can understand. You’ve never really been one for relationships.

Caroline: That doesn’t mean I don’t know how they work. Jannick, you need to let. Go. It will start causing problems.

Jannick: Not in front of my wife, okay?

What a coincidence that that night, Jana pops the question. Jannick accepts, of course.

She’s a good egg.

Despite the earlier hug rejection, Maggie and Jana do occasionally bond.

So good! That’s three promotions in a week!

Holy FUCK does she look evil!

The Plum/Fire household pays $300 in taxes, and that ends Week Three!

ISLA BRISA // YEAR ONE, WEEK THREE // MAPLEWOOD HOUSEHOLD

Follow the cut~

Marjorie’s fixing a sink because the ROS we rolled for this week is: 

*  Vacation day: Your sim wants a day off work to relax. Either take a vacation day or pretend you're sick (we accept no responsibility for negative effects from lying).  *

Major events: *  Nothing major. Life goes on as normal.  *

Sinks Break all relevant objects in the household. Reroll if no objects of this kind exist.

LOL

Very nice!

Honey. You live on an island.

Rover: New human? :-)

You’re scandalizing the residents, Marjorie!!!

I’ve never had a sim make a paper airplane before. It’s cute :)

Taking the vacation day to fulfill the other part of the ROS, and Marjorie’s boss is so interesting!

Marjorie begins her day with her favorite activity: making faces at the chessboard.

Spud Alvarado walks by, so Marjorie decides to get to know the newest member of her community a little better.

FRIENDMAKING FUCK YEAH

Spud. You’re starting to decay. Go home.

Marjorie: I need to do something about the wolves on this island. An ordinance, maybe?

The weather’s finally nice again, so Marjorie takes a little dip in the beach behind her house.

WAIT STOP EVERYTHING THIS IS A MALE TOWNIE WHO ISN’T UGLY

AND SHE LIKES HIM

A LOT

Some relationship building later, and Marjorie shares her first kiss with Alec Parry :)

Marjorie learns to love dancing when it’s with Alec.

!!!!

Suuuuuuuave.

What a week it’s been for Marjorie--a new boyfriend and a new pet!

And some time with her good friend, Jan Tellerman.

The Maplewood household still remains the quietest and calmest, but things may be looking a little different now that Marjorie’s attained both a boyfriend and a dog...

She pays $250 in taxes to...herself? And we’re going to swing on over to the Lott household now.

[pixelroach]

ISLA BRISA // YEAR ONE, WEEK THREE // LOTT HOUSEHOLD

Follow the cut~

Kicking this round off with a potty face is Caroline, and just Caroline! Remember, Boris and Jannick both moved out to be with their significant others. Here’s what we rolled for ROS this week:

Minor events: *  Tax refund: Turns out you paid too much tax, and you're getting a refund. Add d10 * 100 to the family funds.  * 500

Major events: *  Massive repairs: Break d10 items on your lot and either attempt to repair them yourself or call in the professionals.  * 9

Things could probably be going better for Caroline, as is the theme of her life.

Things could also probably be going better for Olivia.

And Sam, as well.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh this shit’s HARD. In the last stages of her pregnancy, I had her in this weird cycle of sleep-eat-sleep-eat, most often with the sleep happening while she faceplanted a meal.

Sam: Mommy in the way, it okay. Just crawl over Mommy for rotten milk bottle :)

AGGGGHHHH

AGHHHHHHHHHHH

Even the toddlers are passing out!

Caroline: My children eat from dog bowls and I haven’t cleaned or had a proper meal in weeks, but everything is fine :) I don’t miss Jannick :) and Boris :) at all :)

Oh, thank fuck.

And thank fuck for this! Just one baby!

Apparently I decided to chronicle Jannick’s arrival before showing the baby, but you get a sneak peek in Olivia’s thought bubble.

The wee bab is a girl named Hema, who has all of Caroline’s genetics.

Caroline: Can you come in the house and help me with the babies?

Jannick: Actually, no. You locked the door. 

I got SO MAD at him for not coming in to help, too! I forgot she ran a home business and I had locked the door to prevent people from coming inside.

A robbery!!!! [1/5]

Caroline: I can’t believe that bitch stole an entire tree.

Finally, birthday time for the stinky twins. Self-sufficiency, here we come! Sam��s up first.

I am not surprised.

Next is Olivia.

It makes me laugh that she always grows into the same hair as Caroline.

Oh, come on. Their needs are rock bottom and I’m not finished with their makeovers!

I mean, you did have a kid, but I don’t blame you. This week has been hell on me too, girl.

With just one child dependent on her, Caroline can finally get around to fixing all the broken appliances.

Hey, Sam’s back! And she’s immediately passed out. So, so close to the bed, too.

Caroline: I’ll fix this goddamn thing one day.

Sandcastles are a great way to relax at the end of the day.

I finally got around to changing Olivia’s hair. None of the colorful hair I have actually looks that great on her; her headshape is kinda weird.

Hema has obtained a body! An important milestone in every sim kid’s life!

Here she is after a makeover. She’s sloppy (two points), very, very shy (zero points), between lazy and active (five points), very playful (ten points) and very nice (nine points.)

Maybe the sink just wants to STAY broken?

There’s something vaguely simian about her features, but I like her anyway. If I had to pick a favorite it’d be her. I really do love of all of the Lott girls, though.

Childhood friendship :)

Finally, finally, finally getting back to some fishing!

Caroline: Why must I suuuufffeerrrr

You know you can just...take the child from the toilet, right? You’re her mother? You have that ability?

Oh look a cute and wholesome family meal--

SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THE TODDLER FROM THE DOGHOUSE

Look, I don’t want to give the impression that Caroline is a horrible mother. She tries. But it’s hard raising three alien offspring by yourself with only fishing to keep food on the table.

Sniffing the flowers outside at 4AM is totally normal 9-year-old behavior.

A hug rejection? Really??? THIS IS NOT FUN AND WHOLESOME

Caroline: Boris! Why are you out so late?

Boris: I am adjusting to Philippe’s schedule.

Caroline: Well, while you’re here--would you mind helping me out with the kids for a bit?

Of course he doesn’t mind. ♥

Birthday time for Hema already! She grew up with the same cursed Caroline Hair. I really like the facial structure diversity among the three girls, even with two of them sharing the same father. And all the alien ears!

Finally in a good place to open up the shop again!

Hema: This “childhood” and “school” thing is overrated.

Oh, fuck off, Yvette.

Heatstroke hits the girls hard :(

But a game of Red Hands always makes everything better!

Just the girls being cute. They’re old enough to help out with the family business now!

The heatstroke finds its way to Caroline eventually. This looks so painful!!!

And we’ll end the week with Caroline fishing peacefully by the seashore.

They paid $250 in taxes, and now we’ll be making our way to the Stormwind/Vega/Alvarado household.

ISLA BRISA // YEAR ONE, WEEK THREE // VAMSI HOUSEHOLD

Warnings: Tasteful male sim nudity.

So for this week, the ROS is:

Minor events:

* Local lottery winner: Your sims win a small prize on the lottery. Add d10 * 100 to their family funds.  * 500

Major events:

* Nothing major. Life goes on as normal. *

* 12. Lost a Dare! Sim must walk around in a mascot or other silly outfit for (d4) days. Sim must also go on at least one date/outing while wearing outfit.  * 3

The teaser image might give you a clue as to how I fulfilled #12 there.

With Bruno moved in as of last round, I decided to redo the house. We’re aiming for an eventual, anachronistic dark vampire castle, but right now it’s...this.

Boris is happy to man the shop while Philippe sleeps in the day.

Aww, delivering his date flowers ♥

Befriending a new pup whose name I cannot recall. I think they do adopt her, but I forgot to check the genders so she can’t breed with Tiffany.

Tiffany: I do not like this.

They play some chess together...

And then time for canoodling. 

Philippe: strut strut strut strut so sexy strut strut strut strut

Must. Befriend. New. Pup.

Hmmm Philippe maybe you should GO TO BED

Philippe: Life is pain and misery. At least my drink matches this ridiculous suit.

BORIS NO

Boris: I just find the pink gorilla suit so, so irresistible, dear Philippe.

TERRIFYING

Very quick and private engagement + marriage. I don’t know why they were sad about it :(

When they’re both awake, they do pretty much everything together.

And another pup to befriend! This one is an Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a blue heeler! I had one of those in real life, but she unfortunately passed a few years ago. So you KNOW I had to get this one.

This maaaaay be the reason for the shotgun wedding up there.

Tiffany keeps the bed warm for Boris.

Pregnant man belly!

Tiffany: Let’s get something straight here. I am the Top Dog, even if you are going to be the inseminator.

Pregnancy outfit! Let’s assume Boris bought these clothes for him, because they are not his style.

Look. When you don’t have TV, you make do.

And that ends the round! Uneventful, but next time we’ll have a little Vamsi baby! They pay $200 in tax, and we head on over to the Plum/Fire house.

[pixelroach]

ISLA BRISA // YEAR ONE, WEEK THREE // ALVARADO/VEGA/STORMWIND HOUSEHOLD

Warnings: Hastily censored female-presenting sim nipples in a non-medical context.

Doing the alien abduction ROS again. They also won $900 in the local lottery.

Spud is Not Pleased. And very hungry, so she gets some food from the trash.

Good job, Taylor!

Hi Caroline!!! Come to look at the competition?

Caroline: So as you know, I have three alien children. Do you think you could help me out? They’re about to go through puberty. Is it different?

Pontius: I believe I am from a different species than your alien children.

Caroline: There’s...different species?

MARJORIE SIGHTING MARJORIE SIGHTING QUICK PONTIUS GO TALK TO HER, I WANT ELECTRICITY ALREADY

Pontius: I am glad I am getting the chance to befriend you, Marjorie.

g e t t i n g c l o s e r 

I LOVE the lighting from the cauldron.

Alien fetus!

Louane & Pontius: Neat. Alien baby.

lol

Pontius: Soon, we will have electricity, and more cooking opportunities.

Louane: I like the sandwiches though.

Pontius: You can keep eating sandwiches if you wish.

I don’t think headbutting Yvonne’s chest is going to help you, Taylor.

MAXED

Hey, the chest-head-butt tactic worked!

Spud: So, I’m pregnant with an alien baby.

Pontius & Louane: *pretend to be shocked*

Pregnancy is rough.

Red hands in the rain makes everything better?

Nope.

Pontius is attempting to finally getting around to sleeping his way through the island.

This one doesn’t go so well, though.

A quick few days, and it’s alien baby birth time!

A girl named Gemma.

Louane takes a shien to Gemma immediately.

Still flirting around.

Caroline: You smell like a ripe corpse and that is NOT professional.

Louane: Ah, fuck off.

I guess Taylor must have bought some food from Caroline at some point, because we have sparkly homemade fish!

Mmm, delicious.

Still going.

Mixed messages as usual~

Unfortunately against the rules, Callista :(

Pontius: I’d like to make YOU a Sim of Some Question.

Yeah, this was bound to blow up at some point. Remember, they’re engaged! (No longer, but they were.)

Pontius: I admire your form and its ability to produce members of my species. Shall we copulate?

Spud: Eh, sure.

(Look, they barely interacted when Spud was a toddler. It’s not creepy! This is what I tell myself. And this was ALL through ACR.)

The DRAMA of it all!!!

Gemma: May I have the attention now?

Spud has a fantastic set of faces.

So, Gemma! She is sloppy (four points), outgoing (six points), VERY active (ten points), serious (three points) and VERY nice (ten points.)

And she LOVES her Aunt Louane ♥

Thanks, homewrecker!

Gemma: I do not think this is my natural form of locomotion, but I shall bemuse Mother.

Pontius is back on his bullshit!

Guy: Yeah! Infidelity!

And that ends the week! Rather eventful, no? This has turned from the Supernaturals house to the Soap Opera house: random pregnancies; rampant infidelity; slightly off-kilter age gaps and more! They pay $2500 in taxes and we move onto the Vamsi/Brightly household.
