Chapter 2

So, I am looking through the pics I took, and I have decided to cut down on pic taking.  I went seriously overboard (I have 600!!! between hoomins and horses, but it would get us right up to Roarke’s YA birthday).  I just love this generation.  It’s the best one yet.  Marie and Asterix (aside from the woohoo misadventures) are one of my favorite couples in a game of mine.  Roarke is seriously amazing.  He is evil, but he’s so good that I keep forgetting.

Anyway, I will try to only give you highlights, but I always forget and go overboard.

Roarke:  Great-Great-add more greats, Grandpa Gussie is Awesome!

Screenshot-5
Clarissa:  You cannot hide from me!  I will get you eventually!
Zenyatta #75:  No, no you won’t.  I’m just going to sit here until the ghosties come and scare you away, sissypants!

Screenshot-6
Roarke:  Seeing you makes me happy, Grandma!

Screenshot-8
Roarke: When I get big, I’m going to have lots of money.
Alani:  Really, how are you going to do that.

Screenshot-9
Roarke: I figure there’s tons of cash in robbing houses.

Screenshot-10
Alani:  You can’t do that!  No grandchild of mine is going to spend their life in jail!

Screenshot-11
Asterix came home from work and was eavesdropping.  At least he now realizes what he’s going to be in for later on.

Screenshot-12
Roarke:  My ultimate goal is to be a jewelry thief!

Screenshot-13
Roarke: ..with a side order of hacking!   I just hope somebody does their job and we get computers unlocked soon.

Screenshot-14
Roarke: When I finally get big and strong, I am going to steal the most ultimate thing ever.
Alani:  What would that be?  Some unsuspecting girls heart?

Screenshot-15
Roarke: Girl?  Ewwww!   No a Rocket!

Screenshot-16
Alani:  Just don’t forget to make time for babies in that busy schedule.  The EPIC must go on!

Screenshot-17
I think being a jewelry thief would be way cooler than being a boring old daddy.
Asterix (still eavesdropping): I heard that runt!

Screenshot-19
Nicholas has been in the hot tub ever since I updated to the fixed woohooer.  I think he’s pouting.  Who knew that at 100 and something, he could still woohoo 9 times a day like a Boss.  Alani switches between the training dummy and chess.  I really get the feeling that she likes being upright for a change.

Screenshot-35
Jack:  At least his form is getting better.
Joy:  Who cares about that. I’m waiting for Punch to fight back!

Screenshot-37
Cue some doggie love.  They’re so cute.

Screenshot-39
Joy: I’m going to do something adventurous and look out the window.  I want utilize my newest trait.
Jack:  ..but I want to gaze into your eyes some more. *pout*

Screenshot-40
So strange how Jack did this.  Hence why the doggie portion made it to the hoomin side.

Screenshot-42
Asterix doesn’t care too much for the boards, but I make him do them anyway.

Screenshot-44
It’s been a long time since we saw Grimmy last.  Poor little Roarke was the only hoomin on hand for now.

Screenshot-47
I’ve seen sims begging for life.  I’ve seen Grimmy hug pets.  I have never seen a Sim thank and shake hands with Grimmy when he collects them.  A very ancient Indigo looks on.

Screenshot-49
Nicholas Vinson.  105 yrs old.

Screenshot-55
An angry and brokenhearted Alani heads to teach Punch a lesson.

Screenshot-57
Why are you asking for Grandpa Cris’ autograph?  How lame is that?

Screenshot-58
Marie:  I’m artistic too!  How funny!  I am painting in my spare time now.
Cris:  How many masterpieces have you painted?
Marie; Erm..well none yet!   But we still have all of yours around the house.

Screenshot-59
Gussie likes to come and visit the bookshelf.

Screenshot-60
Autonomous inventing.

Screenshot-61
Marie painted this memory for Roarke.

Screenshot-62
Marie:  Wow, I’m a bookworm too, Ancestor Gussie!

I didn’t realize she shared so many traits with the earlier generations.

Screenshot-64
Roarke invented a dog toy.  Then never touched the inventing table again.

Screenshot-65
He started on potions, but it got close to bedtime.  He never went back.

Screenshot-66
Asterix jams on the piano when he’s not skilling the athletics and martial arts.

It’s a battle of EPIC proportions.  In the left corner, we have Alani Vinson.  In the right corner.  Little Roarke Vinson.   Who will win?  No one knows.  Everyone, grab your pillows!

Screenshot-69Screenshot-70
Screenshot-71Screenshot-72
Screenshot-73
Roarke:  I forfeit.  I can’t concentrate with Ancestor Gussie staring at me like that.

Screenshot-103
Asterix:  Look hunny, food magically appeared!
Marie:  Funny!

Screenshot-104
Mark this on the calendar boys and girls.  The Vinson’s had their first family dinner in who knows how long.

Screenshot-108
Asterix:  The awesomeness that was your pancake making has given me naughty thoughts!

Screenshot-109

Teaser alert:

Screenshot-112
Why are you all sparkly, Mr. Roarke?
Roarke:  You’ll have to stay tuned for the horses update to find out, silly!

Screenshot-116
He has a skill point in just about everything for his age..except fishing.   Well, here is him trying out painting.

Screenshot-117
Now that they realize that I won’t stop the flirt anymore now that the mod is fixed, they revert back to the real them.  The days is 50% work, 5% other stuff and 45% flirt;

Screenshot-119
You don’t look happy to have finished your first painting.
Roarke:  I hate happiness.  I put all of mine into that painting.  Now let’s burn it.

Screenshot-120
Holy crap guys, should I change your name to Cleaver?
Roarke: If you start calling me Beaver…I will kill you.

Screenshot-125
Roarke’s happy went through the roof when Alani autonomously made his favorite dinner.

Screenshot-129
Roarke:  The happy has got to stop.   I hate happy!  I’m evil I tell ya.

Screenshot-133
Asterix had to get his paint on too.  LOL   I love how something so simple made him so very happy.

Screenshot-134
Roarke:  Now we are getting somewhere.

This is his life.  He goes to school, does his homework, eats and then paints most of the night.  When stats fall, they all go for a ride in the mobile.

Screenshot-135
Pretty soon it was time for Asterix’s first game.  The whole family went to cheer him on.

Screenshot-140

Screenshot-137
Screenshot-138
Time for a family celebratory dinner.
Roarke:  Why?  Why do we have to do this?  We drove in the magic van that maxes our stats.  I want to paint.

Later on that night…..

Screenshot-145

Screenshot-148
Yet, another shared trait.  Marie is best friends with all the ancestors now.

Screenshot-150
Jill: Your mom is amazing!
Roarke: Yeah, I know.

Screenshot-154
Ohh..first one!  You have no clue how excited I am to get this one.

Screenshot-155
Bear:  I iz cute!

My nickname from hubby is Bear.

Screenshot-158
Okay, lads..erm and ladies.  The First Annual Gnome Volleyball Tournament starts now.
Bear:  I’m the token spectator here to pretend I care.
Clarissa:  I don’t know about you dumbshits, but there’s no way in hell I’m lobbing that horse ball.  I refuse to be smooshed by a planet sized ball.

So ends the Volleyball Tournament.

Screenshot-163
Clarissa:  Here, hoomin, hoomin hoomin.  I got something for you!  It will only hurt for a second.

Screenshot-164
Roarke: I gotta hurry and do my homework.
Why is this?
Roarke:  I have a date in the bathroom.
I have no intention of asking what that might be.

Screenshot-165
Roarke:  There is no end to my coolness.

Screenshot-166
Roarke: I’m practicing my, “Hey, look how hot I am” look for when I get to be a teen.

Screenshot-167Screenshot-168
I see you’re back to acting your age.

Screenshot-169
I sent little Roarke to explore the catacombs.

Screenshot-170
Marie waited outside like a good mom to give him a ride home.

Screenshot-171
I missed the next pop up about the bear.

Screenshot-172
Screenshot-174
Roarke:  When I steal my rocket, Mom, I’m totally going to blow that stupid bear up.

Side note*  I had no clue the Motive Mobile fixed singes!

Screenshot-175
Yay, Asterix.

Screenshot-184
Poor kid is traumatized by that bear.  It did give him the oomph to finish this painting.

Screenshot-185
Now that is appropriately evil.  I love it.    I have not sold any of his paintings and only one of Marie’s.

Screenshot-189
Our first Nicholas visit and he went to his favorite spot and stayed there until it was time to go back to the grave.

Screenshot-190
Yay!!!   His LTW is to be a Superstar Athlete, so this is quite handy.

Screenshot-192
Asterix: I had a great night at work and now I have naughty thoughts.
Marie: Daddy is in the hot tub, so we can’t go there.

Screenshot-193
The shower it is then.

Minor pets I didn’t want to add to the horse/dog section.

Screenshot-200
Cardinal

Screenshot-201
Hawk

Screenshot-204
Macaw

This world has almost 0 spawners.  It sucks ass.  When using the collection helper, I found 3 total bugs.

Anyway he started wishing for kids things finally.

Screenshot-208
New toy lads!
Clarissa:  I want to go first!
Inventor gnomes:  We can’t go, we’ll rust! *sob*  We want to slide too!

Screenshot-215
The lone lizard on the world was the Komodo dragon.

Screenshot-216
Which leads us to this.  It took 216 pictures to get here..and half of them were horses!  Yay for Horsies!  I’m off on a 200-mile trek looking for Final Fantasy XIII-2.  I am hoping to get all legacies caught up and stored for quick update clicking.  I had 170+ hrs in FF XIII, I’m preparing now for a repeat with the new one.

We will have our teen years next time.  Until then please do not hate me for not sticking with the toned down update.  I totally went overboard…again…but I love Roarke.  He’s the most unevil evil person ever.
