Matt decided he'd paint a portrait of his youngest and the Taylor family heir. Not bad!
Charlie: OH MY GOD AHHHHHH!! *cough* Um, I mean, I knew that was coming, it didn't scare me, that's not scary, it's just stupid! Yeah.
Someone else also fell prey to the prankster.
Lily: I hate having siblings!
Lily: Vrooom vroooom VROOOOOOOMMMMMM!
She may be dead but she's certainly not about to just leave her family. Not when she can haunt them and scare the hell out of everyone!
Or you could play with the table, that's cool too.
Isn't it a bit cold to be playing in the sandbox? No? Okay.
Yay, birthday time! She's so cute!
...... Ugghhhhh. She's not totally hideous but her face is all weird. This picture doesn't even show it, her nose was all wrong and she was just fugly. Sims don't have to be drop dead gorgeous but I'd like my heir to be at least a little attractive since they'll be carrying on the family genetics and such. So after much thought (and discussion with j-bird to see how we felt about it), for her birthday she got plastic surgery. Yes I'm a horrible person! But well, she's a snob, and her mother's death kind of sent her in a tail spin for a while. And her dad has no idea what to do with a teenage daughter so he just indulged her.
I didn't change very much, but she looks much much better now!
Matt: OH GOD! I can't unsee that! D:
Lily: DAAAAAD! OH MY GOD GET OUT! NOW!
Poor thing, she gets embarrassed by her dad walking in on her, and she's the victim of a prankster who dyed her hair purple. Not a good day for her!
What?! NO! Seriously, has there not been enough death here? When will it end?!
Look at him, he's so happy and oblivious. He has no idea what's about to happen to him.
RIP Chip :(
I don't think staring at it is gonna help weed the plants.
She's burying herself in her music to dull the pain of her mother's tragic death.
Charlie snuck out and flooded the school. Unfortunately, the idiot didn't thoroughly case the school first and was caught by the school janitor who promptly called the cops. Not wanting to be brought home by the police or worse, thrown in jail, the idiot took off running.
And the dumbass got caught. Of course.
Matt: What the hell is wrong with you?! As if I don't have enough to deal with you go out and get brought home by the frickin cops!
Charlie: Seriously Dad? You're a goddamn criminal, you're one to talk about getting brought home by cops! I know for a fact you've spent time in jail so don't even!
Matt: Why you little shit! You've put my entire operation in danger! You are GROUNDED, you hear me?! Get out of my sight!
Ghost of Ashley, why are you wandering around the house in your underwear?
Ashley: Matt!
Matt: Oh god, not ghosts!
Ashley: Matt, it's Ashley! Your wife!
Lol he missed her. After this the game gave him the "eternally faithful" reputation, despite the fact that he cheated on her with her friend when she was living.
Even ghosts need their morning coffee!
Birthday time for Matt!
He may be an elder but he's still a badass criminal mastermind!
And now it's Charlie's birthday!
He really turned out nicely. I may have to save him for use in a future legacy or save. His traits are Loner, Heavy Sleeper, Neat, Evil, and Dramatic and his Lifetime Wish is to follow in his father's footsteps in the Criminal career, only as an Emperor of Evil instead of a thief.
Okay, sure, just help yourself to our food, Maid. It's not like you have a job to do or anything.
She loves her video games!
Lily always chooses to do her homework outside, no matter how bad the weather is.
Now that he's a YA its time to get him married off! Sadly, nobody was at the venue he went to so he decided to take advantage of the bubble machine thing and get nice and high.
A girl! And she and Charlie actually seem to be hitting it off!
He knows how to win over a girl!
They adopted another cat to keep the line going. Meet Izzy, she's a mix who's Shy and Lazy. Love that pretty classic tabby coat!
Graduation time for Charlie!
Lily: Why do I have to go to this stupid graduation ceremony? I'm not even the one graduating!
Ugh, Jake, you have definitely seen better days.
He graduated with Highest Honour and was voted Most Likely to Take Over the World.
Things are continuing to progress between Charlie and his girl, who's name I completely forget. Fail.
Things are progressing well between Santa and Izzy as well.
She spends most of her free time playing on her guitar.
They're officially dating now!
Things were going so well that Charlie decided to propose!
The bitch rejected him! What the hell girl?
Charlie *is heartbroken*
Nothing like a cute kitty to make you smile amidst heartbreak.
Lily: Ugh I just know I'm getting a pimple here.
She might not have agreed to marry him, but she had no problem moving in with him. And look, she's a mermaid!
It was then that I realized she's 2 days away from aging into an elder -_- Freaking cougar! Not wanting to have a repeat of Jake and his wife, Charlie had to dump her.
Charlie: What the hell, you lied to me! I thought you were my age! This relationship is OVER!
Girl: Nooo, who will marry me now?
Mutual hate
Charlie: Whew, dodged a bullet there! I'm way too young to be tied down to a woman who's three times my age!
So he decided he'd book a trip to France and see if he can find a spouse there. Paris is for lovers, after all.
Charlie: Oh hey, butterflies! Chicks love butterflies!
Now, off to find a bride and maybe see if he an squeeze in an adventure or two in the process.
Charlie: This should be easy! France is full of beautiful women, right?!
Nope, not you.
Ooh, she's pretty! I forget her name (big surprise there) but she definitely has potential. She's not French, but a fellow adventurer.
Might as well see what he can find while he's here.
Exploring a tomb.
Hmm, she's not too bad, she may have potential.
Or not, not very impressed with her. Still thinking the explorer is our best bet. Not that it matters a whole lot, since Charlie's not our heir, but still.
Can't go to France without sampling the nectar!
Horrible picture with terrible lighting but Charlie and his Explorer are making fast progress.
Charlie: AAAHHHHH *girlish screams*
That's not creepy at all...
With that, he bid his Explorer love farewell and headed back to the States, with a promise to send for her as soon as he arrived back home. And then he arrived home only to find that, I guess because she's an explorer, he doesn't have the option to bring her to him. And it wasn't because they weren't good enough friends or anything like that. The universe is just totally against him getting married! But I can't give up, the rules of the Homemaker Challenge say that everyone needs to be married off before the heir can move out.
A little sister bonding time.
Gah, Charlie! Don't you ever give me a heart attack like that again! Losing one sim this generation to electrocution was more than enough!
Girls, be nice!
Ooh, look, visitors in town!
Lots of visitors. Visitors from outer space and from the afterlife.
Charlie: Ew do not want!
He met this girl online and they seem to like each other. She's pretty, I think she'd make a decent wife for him.
She left almost as soon as she arrived >.< She really seemed to like him, too.
Every single time he calls her to invite her over or out on a date she turns him down. I'm beginning to wonder if he'll ever be able to get married!
So it's back to the online dating site! I am determined to find him someone! There's gotta be someone out there who'll marry him dammit!
Charlie met this girl and they got further than he did with the other one, but she too wasn't interested in a relationship.
Maid: Oh god get me out of here!
It's fall in Barnacle Bay which means it's time to carve some pumpkins. I've never actually carved a pumpkin in RL :/
Birthday time for Meg!
Man, she really is gorgeous! I'm saving her for use in a future legacy! Her traits are Couch Potato, Loves the Outdoors, Unstable, Hot-Headed, and Angler and her Lifetime Wish is to be a Forensic Specialist - Dynamic DNA Profiler. That will be interesting with a family full of criminals. I foresee lots of drama in store for her, Matt, and Charlie!
Kittens!!
Because they were born on Halloween, I named them Goblin (the shorthaired one) and Ghost (the fluffy one). They're both females and Goblin is Neat and Noisy and Ghost is Noisy and a Hunter.
Meg headed down to a performance at a park and ran into this young man. His name is Mick, and while that haircut definitely doesn't do him any favours, he's got potential.
Oh hey, look who stopped by. It's the girl Matt cheated on Ashley with (who's name I still can't remember). Awkward!
They're really hitting it off! At least someone's having some luck in the love department!
In fact...
Meg: Mick, will you marry me?
Mick: OMG!
Mick: Yes, yes I will! I love you!
Meg: I love you too!
He then moved in with her, so I can finally give him a makeover.
There, much much better! His traits are Flirty, Irresistible, Easily Impressed, Athletic, and Friendly. His Lifetime Wish is to be a Heartbreaker and his job is Magician. Poor Meg, looks like she has some heartbreak in her future :( Better be careful buddy, her dad knows just how to take someone out and never leave a trace.
Graduation time for Meg! She graduated with Honour and was voted Most Likely to Never Leave the House. Lovely.
After the ceremony Meg and Mick headed down to the park for a private wedding ceremony. You can still see the street art left by Jake (or was it Bradley?).
Welcome to the Taylor family, Mick!
Mick: I just love my beautiful new wife!
Yeah she is pretty gorgeous! I had them try for a baby in hopes of having cousins for gen 4 of the Taylors and then Mick and Meg packed their stuff and moved out to their own house.
Matt mastered his Lifetime Wish by reaching level 10 in the Criminal Career Thieves branch and it was time for him to retire! Congrats buddy!
Poor guy, the girls are still turning down his every attempt to get them to come over.
Charlie: I don't get it D:
You're never too old to go hunting for Easter eggs!
Poor guy, this is the only action he can get.
Corrupting his younger sister, a big brother's job!
Lily: Oh yeah, I'm 21, I just look younger than I actually am.
Liar.
Karaoke time!
Random sim: Boooo! You suck, get off the stage!
While Charlie and Lily were off having fun, Shadow tragically died at home :(
When they got home and heard the news Lily was absolutely heartbroken.
Lily: I can't believe he's gone *sobs*
Charlie: I'm sorry Lil'.
She spends most of her free time working on her music. Sadly for her, nobody's ever willing to give her any tips. She's stuck with just her allowance for spending money.
Santa had her birthday and turned old and grey. So cute!
Charlie: Awww, this is the life!
Matt: Too spicy! Too spicy! Aaaaahhhhh my mouth! Somebody get me some water, quick!
Charlie and Lily headed down to the gym for the evening.
Caaaannnnnooooonnnnn bbaaaaalllllll!
Oooh, ouch! That looks painful!
Charlie challenged his sister to a breath holding contest.
Lily: *gaspcough* Aw damn!
Charlie: Hell yeah! I win, take that!
Lily: I hate you.
Charlie: I know :D
Instead of going straight home with her brother, Lily decided to cruise around town after curfew, which resulted in a call to the cops.
Lily: Aw damn, I hope nobody at school sees me like this!
Matt: *prepares to strangle his daughter*
Matt: What the hell is wrong with you kids??? I work my ass off to provide for you and you thank me by getting yourself brought home by cops?
Lily: Oh yeah, like you were a perfect child.
Matt: Don't you talk back to me! I'm one step away from shipping you off to boarding school until you're grown up and out of my house!
Fortunately for her, Lily won't have to be under her dad's rules for very much longer! Birthday time!
She's gorgeous! I'm super happy with how she turned out (even if there was some cheating there to ensure she came out nice)! Her traits are Excitable, Loves the Heat, Snob, Can't Stand Art, and Sailor and her Lifetime Wish is to be a Rock Star. I can definitely see it!
So cute!!
What the hell is going on here???? On second thought, no, I really don't want to know!
Well, that highly disturbing note ends generation 2 of the Taylor family. Sorry this post is so crazy image heavy, I'm not very good at keeping the pics to a minimum and want to post EVERY SINGLE THING. But well, lots of pics are fun too, right?
EDIT: Whoops, just realized I totally forgot to total up the points. Fail.
The Points:
-5 for Ashley not mastering the cooking skill
-5 for Ashley not mastering the handiness skill
-5 for Ashley not mastering the gardening skill (damn you untimely death!)
All the kids learnt all their skills so +3 points
+6 for mastering skills (Matt mastered the Athletic, Logic, and Painting skill)
+4 points for the heirloom item (Motive Mobile)
Total: -2 -_- I was so close to having Ashley master those skills!
