The Antikvas 2.7

[jayeless_archive]

UPDATE WITH GOOD GRAPHICS!!! You'd better be excited because I know I sure as hell am. And I already played this update so I know the end already, so you know that means they are just that good. Oh man, excitement.

Hello and welcome to the new era of Antikva updates in which the graphics look like this, not the monstrosities of yesteryear with broken graphics all over the place! I just moved Acorn City (the 'hood) over wholesale, so this is the same house... just awesome.



And this is Duck Pond Park! I sent Hilde over here to investigate community lots and how they ~work~, since you know... I can actually use them now. (And you will realise this as this update progresses, lmao. As the cut text suggested, it turned a bit into the night that never ends!)



Hilde turns out to be an eminently do-gooder citizen and promptly starts doing the gardening -_-;



Lister: Oh man, this redheaded teen is hotttt! whoooooo



She let him tickle her, too... D:



In other news, Eirik got beat up by Olel Morzan. Multiple times.

LOL.



Btw, this room divider is our next $1000 decorative item. Yeah.



Hilde is ADORABLE!! As a teen, she's always doing stuff like juggling coffee cups or playing bathtub pirates. It's so cute, I love her :3



Anyway, as heiress, Astrid needs a wife, so, we send her down to Falling Acorn Night Club :D



OK, so Maya Piper's not the answer? No biggie :P



Aww, what a sentimental moment! This reminded me of that scene in Doctor Who where the Doctor and Rose each rest their cheeks against the same wall in different universes. Except much better, because I didn't really like that scene. Mainly because I really didn't like Rose, so the scene made me happy.



Then my reminiscing was interrupted because, like, they shook hands... through the door. ok.



Anyway, this burgeoning romance soon turned sour, as red *minus minus*es started appearing above their heads.



I'm 99% sure this is Maya's fault, because of how she shuts down all romantic advances. She probably thinks it's disloyal to grilled cheese :P

Borris: What did I do? D:



Anyway, Mission: Find Astrid A Girlfriend was suffering some minor problems as no women appeared except Sprita spares and the aforementioned Maya Piper (who doesn't count... she lives out her life worshipping grilled cheese, and that is all!)... until this sim came along! Kadi, by iceraptoress.



I'm not sure why my pictures are mostly documenting Maya Piper's love life instead of, you know, ASTRID'S, but I'll go with it :p I forgot to mention that Kevin Sprita is like, the only Sim who has ever been able to win her away from grilled cheese even for a moment. For the attentive, this does indeed also make her straight... not good spouse material for Astrid!



Kadi kinda fell through though because they didn't have chemistry and she doesn't even like books. I mean what is that?



I freaked out for a moment wondering why they were kissing and then I remembered Borris Darwin is her dad! Hahah. Although man, that must be so embarrassing when you're trying to go clubbing D:



Astrid: Hay let me tell you some gossip~~
Flavia Sprita: NO WAY.



Astrid: ... I'm so sad now, I'm gonna go shoot myself in the head :(



Flavia: You'd better, bitch. >:|
Maya: LET ME INTO YOUR PICTURESSSSSSSSSS DDDDDDDD8<



Astrid also met Kevin Sprita and they got along pretty well



UNTIL SHE TRIED TO NOM ON HIS ARM



Astrid: everybody hates me :(



Astrid: I bet that Maya is spreading mean things about me behind my back. I hate her, she is a fugly bitch D:<



The first wave of people left and were replaced by a new wave... including CIMORENE OUROBOROS!



Jinnee: eeeeeeewwwwww it's that Astrid Antikva. Gross!
Me: RUDE



I gotta say, this made me feel better :)



(ignore Marius Sprita the creepy creeper)

Cimorene was receptive to an "Admire"...



...but when it came to a "Charm"...



...SHUT. DOWN.

After this came a shit-ton of screenshots Gadwin didn't save ;_; Basically I was getting desperate and, upon seeing that Astrid and Jinnee FUCKING HAD CHEMISTRY, I tried to chat her up. Their conversation went like this:

Astrid: Do you like tennis? :D
Jinnee: Bitch, I hate tennis.
Astrid: Well... you must like books though, right? :D
Jinnee: WRONG. I FUCKING HATE ALL BOOKS.
Astrid: Well... what about theatre? :)
Jinnee: You're really not getting it, are you dumbass? I HATE TENNIS. I HATE BOOKS. I HATE THEATRE. I HATE YOU. GET THE FUCK AWAY.

It was a very productive conversation. And I was so furious when I realised the screenshots were gone ;_;

I seriously considered drawing replacement pics, since they were clearly so popular last time I had to do them, but... I feel like my artistic ~talents~ would be exhausted if I had to draw that many pictures. Sorry guys.



Drown your sorrows, Astrid! GO GO GO!



She then autonomously asked for another... she's got the right idea!



After that super-productive night, Astrid went home, just in time for the end of the previous afternoon.



And then, magically not creating any time paradoxes, MARIANNE WENT TO THE SAME CLUB!



The only male there was this teen, though :( This teen who DID swoon over her A LOT. Still, a teen.



That's until the second wave of townies turned up! Then... Marianne met Turin Grunt-Summerdream.



Before they even met, ACR gave them a high enough score to WooHoo. No joke :| I did make them flirt ONCE, but then it was straight to this xD



THEN we met this dude, whose name I don't remember, but he's by fivesims ^_^



Marianne: I think you're very, er, handsome :)
Mystery Man: Oh. thanks :}
Turin: Man... she just had sex with me and moved on, just like I do to women. This is not cool :(



She then joined Drizzt Dork in the hot tub... she apparently already knew him, because he was in her relationships panel as a "contact" (lmfaooooo you don't even know how funny this is to me), but I don't remember this happening.



Turin: Owen* and I thought we'd better join you and, you know, keep an eye on things... isn't that right, Owen?
Owen: ...yeah.

* Owen Piper. Father of Hilde, for those who've forgotten :P



By the way, Hilde spent her night playing computer games.



ok I lied. She also stargazed. And found a star.



and another star.
ten sim-minutes later.
awesome.



After a nap, Astrid went for a second crack at the club! (See what I mean about THE NIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS?)



Adrianna (of beachwee): Gosh that Claudia Sprita is such a woman of disrepute, it sickens me to be in her presence!



Despite having a similar reputation, Astrid introduces herself ;)



They had similar interests and Adrianna accepted an ~admire~, so things were looking up!



Claudia Sprita: Dear sister, you appear to have spilled something on your shirt...
Antonia: Really?



Claudia: LOLOLOL

Claudia, THIS IS WHY ALL PEOPLE HATES YOU. Astrid, on the other hand, I have no idea :(



Adrianna rejected a flirt :( BUT I DON'T CARE, THIS IS ASTRID'S BEST CHANCE!



So the next morning, we invite Adrianna over.

However, the LITTLE IDIOT did this to me!!! wtf, they even made friends!! WHAT IS THIS??



So... we call her again to chat. Sigh.



Then some random weirdo named ~Livia Raines~ turns up and asks to be let inside. OBVIOUSLY this does not bode ill AT ALL, so we let her in. I think she's some AL townie o_O



She and Hilde bond over ~Tough Handshakes~...



She also gets along with Marianne, but Astrid?



Livia: ewwwww groce

all people hates Astrid :(



I checked a passing townie for an attraction score with Astrid and it was FIFTEEN!!! (Contrast this with Adrianna's two.) Unfortunately she refused to be greeted (F her) so I made her selectable so she'd HAVE to stay.



And yes, she talks >:D



THIS is even in her wants panel, which is surprising, because she is CONSTANTLY TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM ASTRID



Case in point.

Dido: Ewwwww, I can't BELIEVE I was tricked into talking to that woman!!

yeah well FU >:(



The next $1000 decorative item... sigh. Only one more, at least :P



See what I mean about our passing weirdo being, uh, a weirdo? D: GTFO, Livia Raines!



Anyway, this is Marianne's 10th different woohoo'd sim! Only ten more to go! :D



GO AWAY, LIVIA



Livia: If I may say so, your performance in bed just then was excellent!
Me: GO AWAY



Mystery Man: *oggling Marianne's boobs*
Livia: I have to concur, those are exquisite breasts!
Me: GO AWAY

(after this I forced her to go away, haha :) AND DON'T COME BACK!)

:D Congrats on fixing your graphics! :D

Poor Astrid's having a hard time finding a spouse, huh... maybe things will still work out with Adrianna though.

I freaked out for a moment wondering why they were kissing and then I remembered Borris Darwin is her dad!

Haha! That sounds like something I would do xD And yeah, that would kind of add to the stress of spouse-searching at a nightclub... though it didn't stop her from nomming on Kevin Sprita's arm did it? xD

Your commentary for Livia cracked me up, too. If I may say so, your performance in bed just then was excellent! Maybe she's like the reporter who comes to rate your business... only she's from the local Swinger's Club? *grin*

Once again, your graphics look great, it must be such a relief! :D

[jayeless_archive]

Thanks! I didn't fix the graphics so much as get a new laptop, but the effect is the same xD The graphics are so amazing now, that I end up playing for hours and hours when I only meant to be playing for a couple, because there's no point at which the graphics become so unbearable that I have to quit >_>

Hahah, that is true, it didn't stop her! Maybe she decided Borris wasn't watching her, so she could risk it :P

That is a highly plausible explanation as to Livia's presence.

Thank you again! :)

Oh man, it would be horrible to be out clubbing and run into your dad. And I don't mean it would be horrible because you'd probably accidentally hit him with your club. yahknow, clubbing. HUR HUR HUR.

...I really don't know what goes on in my brain. :X

PLEASE HOOK ASTRID UP WITH CIMORENE. Cimorene needs a happy life! D:

Also, the 'night that never ends' got 'the song that never ends' stuck in my head. *dies*

[jayeless_archive]

Hahaha, well at least if you accidentally hit him with a club and knocked him out, he wouldn't be able to watch you like a hawk any more? ;)

And you'll see who Astrid ends up with... but it's unfortunately not Cimorene! They had no chemistry :(

SORRY FOR GETTING A SONG STUCK IN YOUR HEAD, PLEASE DON'T DIE :(
