The Antikvas 4.3
28 December 2012 06:21 pmHello! More Antikvas! Yay!


NEW CHALLENGE!! I think a lot of Antikva updates begin like this. Anyway, this week's challenge is:
This challenge actually seems a bit ambiguously worded, but okay. It sounds better than "BUY USELESS OUTFITS".

So that night, the generation four Antikvas go to the Crypt O' Night Club. They walk there because it is totally plausible to work from suburbia to the CBD, by which I mean the game lets me do it so IT HAPPENS.

Aaaaaand that was easy. Although I'm sure this is a different Contessa to the one Alexandra banged. For a start, she's white.
…although, considering what happened to Dormie Desmond…

I'm going to assume that Amaranta is just like me and talking about what a shame it is that vampires can't go out in the sun, and there should be more times like that episode "Amends" in Buffy where there's a gigantic snowstorm so even though Angel's trying to go outside in the sun to die, it's actually too snowy for there to be enough sunlight to kill him.
You heard me.

The Contessa wasn't impressed with that Buffy reference so instead Amaranta starts talking about money. Money talks louder than words. And words ABOUT money talk louder than money AND words about things that aren't money so basically they're pretty damn loud and you'd be a fool not just to cooperate with this conversation already.

So… apparently… Amaranta doesn't know one of her brothers and barely knows the other one. A+

Amaranta gossiped about Kevin Sprita like 6886698697898 times to the Contessa and seriously I think the Contessa was actually alive to witness his exploits unlike you Amaranta

I WOULD show you what Aureliano and José Arcadio were doing but they were basically just doing this. Then they hung out with each other. Yep. They know each other a bit better than Amaranta knows them.

HAI LUNA!!!! :D
Also, this is when I wondered whether it has to specifically be a Grand Vampire that bites my chosen Sim because getting Luna to bite one of the Antikvas would be pretty easy.

I'm going to assume Amaranta is just like me again, and for me "making out" is a euphemism for "neck-biting", and I think you can see where I'm going with this

ok the thing about Sim neighbourhoods when your other legacy is on generation ten is that EVERY TIME YOUR SIMS GO TO A COMMUNITY LOT, THERE ARE JUST LOTS OF SPARES THERE. That said... hello Lucia Sprita (gen. 5)! Looking good for 200 or however old you are.

Then we saw Cosette Sprita (gen. 3).

Amaranta is basically the best.

Unlike this loser who started jump-roping on the dance floor, wtf.

yaaaaaaaay

Baxter is stinky again. Grrrrrr.

this happened when Amaranta was GETTING ON THE SCHOOL BUS FOR SCHOOL.
GO TO SCHOOL, MONIQUE

I guess Monique listened to me, because someone brought her home from school! Amaranta has a good ol' gossip sesh about whichever of her brothers this is.

anyway, that night, TO THE CRYPT O' NIGHT CLUB, AGAIN!
honestly I'm not sure whether this challenge meant I had to send them Downtown EVERY night or only until I found a vampire but whatever…

Again, who wouldn't want to be seen in public with these two?

ok well Amaranta apparently

look, the Contessa returns! and she's black again because she actually was the same Contessa that Alexandra banged and I decided it was outrageous that my game randomly turned most of my black Sims white so I made her black again.

this soon appeared in Amaranta's queue… best buddiez~

then Aureliano started talking to the Contessa and Amaranta was grossed out. wtf.

Only the ElectroSphere can heal the pain!

Meanwhile, José Arcadio's fucking around on this thing. Exciting.

Apparently Amaranta wasn't badass enough to withstand this thing on "Hard" mode.

Amaranta and the Contessa bond some more over Aureliano's bad dancing :/

But Aureliano don't care!

José Arcadio made a friend. Sorta.

Aaaaaand Hillary Spicoli's wearing weird face makeup and talking to herself?? idgi

Zoe Sprita (gen. 2 spare) feels it is appropriate to block off an entire staircase with her dancing

she also looooooves the Contessa

José Arcadio tried to check himself out in the men's but he's a bit too short L O L

supah fine~

I'm really glad that Aureliano wasn't put off his game by all that jeering either, haha

so apparently that "Bleh!!!" interaction actually results in this.

and this.

luckily public spongebaths are totally acceptable behaviour!!!

Aureliano finds himself being chatted up by someone and life is good.
BUT DO U SEE WHO THAT IS IN THE BACKGROUND

why Mrs Crumplebottom, of course!!

then they went home and Amaranta and José Arcadio had a shouting match about the theatre for some reason idgi

things turned violent.

and this waitress from the club they just went to walked past their house like four times in one night w t f

fuck everything

THIS IS MAKING ME ANGRY

I sent Aureliano to clean it up but he encounters the assholiest dog ever wow

yay!

Mac Sprita visits and look at Baxter

I don't think he likes her very much :O

I sent Adrianna to greet Mac but for some reason "Fight... Attack" was a possible interaction
why

She finally got her wish of learning Physiology, hahah

ok that coldocalypse was relatively painless

THIS UPDATE IS SORELY LACKING IN PICTURES OF CAT TEASER

Adrianna was cooking a turkey but Amaranta swooped in at the last minute to claim credit for cooking it, huh

wat

Aureliano terrorises his brother…

TO THE CRYPT-O-NIGHT CLUB, AGAIN!

they just stood around stalling at the entrance, ok

and meanwhile some random is having a nervous breakdown at the end of the lot

This random turns out to be Marie Sprita. If you remember, I killed her husband because I was pissed off with all my current Sims constantly inviting him home and getting re-infected with the flu. Sorrry Marie :(

Amaranta and José Arcadio have another fight, this time about soup, which Amaranta apparently doesn't like and which José Arcadio apparently likes a lot

then underage drinking, yay!!!

Aureliano's busy with this

meanwhile two total randoms get it on

apparently that gives this townie ideas?

they come home and José Arcadio wanted to jump on the couch so...

whoo!

Mac's been here for like a long time and she helped herself to two serves of breakfast >:|

then she tried to boggart our computer (plus she also fell in love with Alexandra) and it's like GO HOME, MAC

meanwhile apparently Aureliano forgot where his bed is.

Verdana Dork visited…

yeah I got sick of going to the Crypt O' Night Club all the goddamn time

the Contessa ♥'s cats

and also Alexandra

OMG

Amaranta: guuuuuuh what

Amaranta turns out to be a rare subspecies of vampire called vampirius chipmunkius

et voilà.
next time: COLLEGE! Can Amaranta survive going to class and other such mundane tasks?! WE SHALL SEE!

NEW CHALLENGE!! I think a lot of Antikva updates begin like this. Anyway, this week's challenge is:
Forever Young: one sim in your household must go on a nightly hunt for one of the Grand Vampires, and get themselves turned into a DENIZEN OF THE NIIIIIGHT…! (requires Nightlife)
