The Antikvas 4.1

[jayeless_archive]

Sooooo... how is everyone? Miss these guys? Well now they're back. Rejoice!

In all honesty I've been neglecting these guys on the odd occasions I've been playing, because the Spritas are so close to generation ten and after over three years, I'd really like to reach that milestone! It'll be the first time I ever get to generation ten (assuming I actually do reach it, because the occasions I play are so odd this actually seems in doubt).

But rest assured, I'm trying to get an Antikvas update out now and again. Preferably more often than once every six months :D

Warnings this time: profanity, considerable violence. Enjoy!

Astrid rolled this want and I was all, "what, why"



I'D SAY THIS IS WHY.

Cymmiiiiiiiiii what did that rubbish bin ever do to you? :(



So after months and months, I open my game again, and find that Astrid has to hold all the babies. This makes no sense. Why can't the babies' actual parents hold the babies >:|



I also find that the Spritas' snowmen are visible from here. The Spritas DO live just next door so MAYBE this shouldn't be so surprising, but like... what if it gets up to summer here in Antikva land and I still haven't played the Spritas enough for their snowmen to fall apart? What then??



This person who called Cimorene is (according to ACR) her ~one true love~. Or whatever terminology ACR uses because I forgot.



BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY



and d'awwwwwwwww.

Technically I can see cats curling up on beds pretty much every day of my life, due to owning one, but for some reason it really tugs at my heartstrings when it's a virtual cat on a virtual bed.

...okay, real cats make me go "d'awwwwwwwwwww" too. But notice how not my entire update is comprised of photos of my own cat.



He means "Cimorene" just by-the-by.



And THIS is what she was talking about to demonstrate all her insightfulness!! LOGICAL.



Oh yeah remember how there were going to be birthdays.



Amaranta~~ who looks a bit weird but I hope she'll grow into it.



Birthday #2!



UNNECESSARY.



newaiz, Aureliano~



Oh and then there is moar babiez arriving. Actually just one more baby but you know.



Alexandra: The fuck is this noise, I am trying to sleep...

Beautiful :')



And this is a boy, named José Arcadio! Now hopefully there are no more boys in this generation because basically every male in Cien años de soledad was named either Aureliano or José Arcadio so I am now right out of names.



Look, Alexandra demonstrated a more appropriate reaction to the new baby!



And Amaranta is eating cat food.



Cymmi: What is this.

omg Amaranta, ruuuuuuuuuuuuuun



Cimorene wastes little time in trying to work off that baby weight! I mean she didn't even waste time to EAT, or anything. Despite her hunger being in the ORANGE. That's just how dedicated she was :|



And this is how I learned that kitties can "Play With" the flying helicopter.



LOOK SHE'S MIAOWING AT IT

She also chased it all around the room but I didn't know how to take a picture of that :(



WHY ALL THE HATE



Well at least Trebuchet will play with the kitty :'D

I feel like I should rename this thing from "The Antikvas" to "Cymmi and Those Dim-Witted Humans In The Background". More accurate.



Alexandra maximised her Charisma!!! I think this means half the ladies in the house have now done this, excluding Amaranta because if females born during the week are also obliged to maximise their Charisma... uh no. But woot woot making progress~



???????????? why.



WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN



NOT TO MENTION THE CAT!!!



~lol~



shovin' an entire birthday cake down the drain cos that's how we rollllllll~



MORE PLAYING WITH KITTY

Yup all of these pictures are 100% necessary, I assure you. In fact not even just 100% necessary. More like 1000000000000% necessary. YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.



More birthday!!



except... he... didn't grow up :<



So... MOAR BIRTHDAY!!



This time birthday actually succeeded, although it did seem in doubt because Astrid just stood there swaying for around a Sim-hour.



José Arcadio, at last :D



And just because José Arcadio failed at growing up with that cake, no one can eat it now. What a waste.



Someone just filled up Cymmi's bowl and then suddenly the bowl was mysteriously empty and now Astrid has to fill it again. Ahhh why Sims why.



Maybe I'm mean, but it amuses me how the cat and the toddlers are always in competition with each other for food. ~lol~



These three were seriously just standing around in a circle slapping and shoving each other for several hours......... until finally:



Adrianna, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK.



omg kitties clean themselves!!!

(no I do not obsess over this when my cat does it in real life. ONLY IN SIMS.)



I have a dream that one day, I will have a Sims family with no random violence in it. One day.



lol what. ADRIANNA ACTUALLY WON A ROUND?!?!? Maybe she got really upset about the... uh, circleshoving.



This picture is a juxtaposition of my most favourite and least favourite things: KITTY GAMES + random violence.



looooooooooooool



omg is this really necessary though.



I like this kind of fight much better. GO CYMMI GO! KILL THAT RAT-SHAPED TOY!



They were fighting for three hours. Fuck's sake.



And the status quo is restored~~~



Astrid maximised her Charisma, which makes Cimorene the only lady in the house who still needs to do this for me to pass this week's challenge!!! And she's still four points away >:|



So I tried to get Cimorene right on that but then Adrianna booted her out to cry about losing that fight. SERIOUSLY IS THIS NECESSARY



Aureliano is an uncooperative brat about being potty trained. SHOULD'VE CALLED YOU JOSÉ ARCADIO.



It's not like the two of them got swapped, because as you can see, José Arcadio is a whiny brat too.



Except... he also GAINS social motive...



...by sitting in a corner all by himself chewing his hand. wat.



Luna Sprita stole our unwanted mouldy newspaper. What a good citizen :')



Amaranta... does not seem at peace with the world.



Oh and that night it is Aureliano's birthday.



Trebuchet: FUGLY!!!
Marianne: I want to take a picture of this moment and preserve it forever~~~~
Me: Sigh.



Aureliano: ZOMG I HAVE A HAND!!! 8DDDDDDDD



IF THAT IS THE CASE then why is he so excited about something so mundane as having a hand EXPLAIN ME THAT, GAME



btw. Aureliano is a little cutie :)



ffs.



meanwhile: ♥♥♥



It's Amaranta's birthday too!
And, it looks like she's already planning all the havoc she will wreak with the ability to walk.



so. looks like that evil plan is going well, then.



Trebuchet is such dead weight in this household!! All he does is talk to his friends on the phone and play SSX 3 ughhhhhhh



Speaking of ughhhhhhhhhhhhh



I was going to say Amaranta was unfazed... but actually she looks like she's plotting revenge RIGHT. NOW.



I angled the camera up to try and get a better look at Amaranta's face and OH NO CYMMI IS TRAPPED IN THERE!!! :'( :'( :'(



Meanwhile, Aureliano: YAY VIOLENCE 8DDDDDD



This time Adrianna won.



And José Arcadio is stealing all the cat food because he is a pain in the fucking arse.



SERIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT EVEN EATING THE CAT FOOD, YOU ARE THROWING IT AROUND, WHY MUST YOU ANNOY ME SO



Soooo, here's Amaranta with different hair. She's quite pretty. Yet evil. I can tell.



Hmmmm fighting without a fight cloud. I am so desperate for new and interesting twists to this shit that I will take this.



Walls and/or Alexandra ruin José Arcadio's life.



I love when sims boggart the bathroom so other sims can't practise Charisma or do anything else in them just to cry about how they lost a fight EH DEAD-WEIGHT TREBUCHET



So I have like 12 hours before I have to roll a new challenge and Cimorene is still two points away from maximising her Charisma. dhurhuytdhtdyreyhdnrek



And this is what happens when JOSÉ ARCADIO GETS HIS GRUBBY HANDS ALL OVER THE CAT FOOD



Well, one point down, one to go :|



Nothing to see here, only Amaranta being evil, nbd~~



And meanwhile, Aureliano is really sweet and good-natured. HOW ARE YOU TWO TWINS

oh yeah, good twin/evil twin, right.



good... twin... who... uh... goodly creates mayhem. Let's go with that.



So, it's José Arcadio's birthday!!



I guess he's cute too. But he lacks the interesting features of his siblings.



Amaranta learning how to take over the world. Or how to do her homework. I think we know which is more plausible.



So at midnight, Cimorene was THIS FUCKING CLOSE to having achieved her last charisma point.

I guess that means I failed this challenge :( I don't know what I should make myself do in penalty for that.

It also, of course, means new challenge, but I think I shall leave you all in suspense until next time for that ;) Hope you enjoyed!
