The Antikvas 5.1

[jayeless_archive]

I've been playing a little bit recently... which means, here's an update I HOPE you will enjoy ^_~

We open this update with me FINALLY (!!!) remembering to roll a new challenge! 1,6 comes out to:

Grilled Cheese is Awesome: All teens in the house are converted to grilled cheese sims. If you have Freetime, all teens must be able to conjure grilled cheese by the end of the week. (requires Nightlife)

There are no teens in this house…

Next time, I'm just going to keep rolling challenges until I get a good one :(



Amaranta's LTW is actually to be a Mad Scientist, but a) she's a vampire, so is going to live forever barring sun-related mishaps, and what does "lifetime happiness" really mean in this context anyway; and b) are you telling me you couldn't imagine the pleasure Amaranta would take in having her own personal cow plant?



Nothing really happened that day… but here is Aureliano with a kitty!



so cute ♥



It was Astrid's birthday!



This is the only "old Astrid" picture I remembered to take :/ Notice her swooning over Willow. Just like everyone else.



do u not believe me bc I think u really should

she has chemistry with everyone



For now, though – wedding party!



I guess this is what happens if I invite the Spritas :/









marriaaaaaage



only three guests cared :(



oh well, I still care.



well if you want…



oh nvm I found the rest of the guests



KATNISS!!!



lol since when do cats eat jelly



Danielle seems confused.



Amaranta bonded with her fellow vampire, Luna Sprita



until CLASSIC DANCING ♥



woot!



BABY JINGLE



why, Xander. why do you want this.



pop! :D



I discovered that the "Tell About Travels" interaction exists but Xander just told him about sandcastles.

sandcastles are very exotic, Xander



the worst part is, it doesn't even fulfill Xander's stupid want if he gets turned down :( :( :(



goddddddd



I think I'm missing a screenshot or two because the point was that Willow actually wanted to make friends with Cimorene, and then once they WERE friends Cimorene promptly rolled this want!



flirtation accepted



THREE MONTHS LATER, I opened my game again! I started checking everyone's LTWs and this is Aureliano's, ughhhhh. btw I then checked his ACR info and apparently he ~has the hots for~ Giles Sprita??? it's a mystery.



bummer.



pregnant vampires are not fun. she kept spewing instead of keeping safely away from the sun in her coffin :(((



oops.



notice Willow just marchin' out of there as if this has nothing to do with her at all



WILLOW WE ALL KNOW IT HAS TO DO WITH YOU



Giles finally got home from work or whatever and within 30 seconds of arriving at the Antikva residence this happened, I shit you not

BUT THE SPRITAS ARE STILL NOT pixel_trade FRIENDLY :( :( :(



Willow: hahaha cheating~

this is actually the only thing she talks about



YET STILL NO COWPLANT ;((((((



Trebuchet: HELP! I R SUFRING FROM SQUIGGLY LINE DEPRIVATION



fuck youuuuuuuuu



Adrianna: No you don't understand! I'm only one logic point away from a promotion!! You can't do this to me!!!

it turned out that they could.



wow that looks painful



for some reason, the alien abduction left her with a really strong craving for omelettes...



could you not have rolled this BEFORE it actually happened, ffs



GENERATION ELEVEN!!!

generation five. But the new baby is in fact a generation eleven Sprita…



Xander immediately dumped her on the floor, which bodes well for his future parenting. Anyway, because I just finished Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, the naming theme is that. Meet Lisbeth :)



GUYS



G U Y S



so close, and yet, so far.



I told him to fix the dishwasher but he didn't die :'( :'( :'(



fuck you both



I really feel like Amaranta's childhood dreams of torturous medical experimentation are going unfulfilled here



BUT FINALLY WE HAVE COWPLANT!



Astriddddddd stop being creepy



I wish I had never bought the Antikvas this synth because they are fucking obsessed with it



yay baby!



meet Erika :) another generation eleven Sprita

which means sooner or later, I need to find a goddamn gene donor who can "father" a baby who is actually eligible for heir because uhhhh, sadly half-Spritas are not :(



Willow: hey don't worry that jayeless has it in for you, what would she know
Me: a lot tyvm Willow



this asshole literally stole José Arcadio's omelette and ate it (ignoring my cancellations of the action!) when José Arcadio was starving, what a dick



oh wait, I think this is when Amaranta became eligible for the cowplant. step up from soil analysis, too



it's Lisbeth's birthday!!



somehow her hair is this long now, idgi either



Amaranta and Aureliano go hunting for gene donors~~

the hunt wasn't a runaway success though, due to nearly every single patron of the club being a goddamn Sprita spare. whyyyy



the cat just kept staring expectantly at the baby waiting for a hug, so cute :( :( :(



oh...



...?

so wait you want to fall in love with her but the game considers you family, why even



why are there more options the other way round? U MAKE NO SENSE, GAME



oooooooooooops.



goddddd



after that, Astrid was rejecting all making out, even ACR making out, which was weird



so I tried to go the other way and get Astrid to ROMANTICALLY KISS Willow but then this happened and it's like DO YOU WANT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER OR NOT, I GUESS NOT, OMG WILLOW



cowplant gettin' huuuuuungryyyyyyyyyyyyy



oh look who wants the cake.



RIP Trebuchet.



dammit tho what kind of baby is this that it can record a life-long memory of someone she barely knew dying at the complete opposite end of the house



so ummm, it turns out that the cats and Trebuchet were BFFLs, and they keep missing him :( :( :(



Xander's pretty good at cheering them up tho



Cimorene rolled this want!



but even though they have two bolts Willow just keeps shrugging at her and going, "ehhhh"? WILLOW UR WIFE IS ASLEEP BECAUSE IT'S DAYLIGHT I THINK U CAN GO FOR IT



Sigrid (gen. 2 spare) came over and literally all these guys just stood in a row to laugh at her eating??? rude



btw somewhere around here but I forgot where I rolled this challenge:

Can't Catch a Break: your sims' worst fears are realised. Attempt to fulfill as many fears for each sim every single day as possible.

Unfortunately as you will see I made only a half-assed effort at this challenge because it turns out non-Grilled Cheese Sims mostly roll fears that are pretty hard to fill like "Cymmi Leaves Family" or hail so… yeah…

Also I pretty much have no idea when I'm meant to be rolling challenges any more so that sucks :/



it was Erika's birthday!!



Toddler Erika



Willow was the Chosen One to drink the life essence of Trebuchet so she can be closer in age to her vampiric spouse



I think it made her closer in evil to her vampiric spouse too



I invited Mulberry Pie over so I could try to make pixel_trade friendly bbz but no :'( BECAUSE SHE IS STRAIGHT. nooooooo



incidentally while I was mucking about in ACR I discovered that 61% of the Acorn City population is asexual which wasn't really going to work so I randomised everyone who didn't already have an orientation… only NOW 77% of the Acorn City population is straight and all the generation four Antikvas are gay or lesbian dammit :'( :'( :'(



apparently it still counts as "having an affair" if you try flirting ONCE and get rejected, who knew…



I swear to God, this is genuinely all she talks about AND YET SHE KEEPS SHRUGGING HER SHOULDERS AT EVERYONE WHO'S NOT HER WIFE W H Y



Adrianna got old~



and wants to get married!



Adrianna: EW NO I WILL NOT SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS MY FIANCÉE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING



pretty much the one fear everyone had was "Trebuchet is a Zombie" so I TRIED OK but none of my Sims are in the Paranormal career so it was a matter of luck



andddddd unfortunately, Trebuchet returned perfectly normal ;(



but I'd watch your back if I were you, Trebuchet.



José Arcadio is like the ~~~cat whisperer~~~



ugh fu Trebuchet



This time he's not coming back even IF everyone has fears of him being a zombie! GUESS HOW MUCH I DON'T CARE LOL



This is not how you make up with your estranged wife, Astrid.



So I invited over this guy (his name is Jake)! And after I cheated with ACR and made him bi he accepted Aureliano's flirtations!!



There was a baby jingle but it turned out that Willow and Amaranta were screwing at the same time and it was Willow who got pregnant... :/



ERIKA IS THE MOST ANNOYING PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING BRAT EVER I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

Lisbeth was kinda annoying too but PALED IN COMPARISON TO ERIKA. Seriously my pictures don't demonstrate this at all but 90% of my time around here was spent RAGING AT ERIKA



FUCKING ERIKA



So Jake moved in… and… seems to be attracted to all the men in this house



Aureliano gets to drink Trebuchet this time. You know, assuming an infinite supply of genie lamps, I have pretty much cracked the secret of eternal youth.



so, Jake is attracted to all the wimminz too. Blehhhhh.



DAMMIT MYSTERIOUSLY-SWIMWEAR-CLAD-IN-THE-SNOW TOWNIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING



pretty much everyone in the house tried running outside to ask the same question, even Amaranta which was pretty dumb



he's gay.



and I just don't understand this want at all. "Yeah, I hate Willow so much that I really want her to die, only then I want her to come back from the dead so she can bother me in the much stinkier, slower and uglier form of animated rotting flesh."



it was Lisbeth's birthday~



pop!

and that's the end. Next time, more stuff'll happen, probably.
