Aloysius: "I'm coot wight?"
Yes Aloysius, you sure are..though not as cute as Asparagus or Avery. But that’s okay! You’re getting face time because Blair really enjoys putting you in the high chair for some reason..and then leaves you there. Does she know something that I don’t? Are you trouble?
And here we have Parkin aging into a full on adult – time flew by fast!

In the background you can see two new blue blanketed pea bod babies, babies Ari and Aki. They are evidence that Blair didn’t eat enough WATERMELON PANCAKES! ugh. I’ve had my ‘A’ girl names all picked out and now I may not even get to use them..maybe just one since there’s only room for one more. But I’m going to wait until babies 1-5 are grown up first because things are a little hectic around the Bloom house…

Alright, so things are a LOT hectic. Becoming insane even.

Aloysius: "Why Mommy fweeding me wocket?"
Ya know, I really don’t know why she’s feeding you rockets…Blair??

Blair: grrrrrrr..why? why did you do this to me?!
It seems as though Blair is hating me and her life right now. Don’t misunderstand me though, Blair still loves all five of her babies, she just needs some help when Parkin is at work. No worries Blair, Parkin invited someone this morning before he left – help is on the way!
Ummm..or not? You’re a great grandmother Susan, a real help. Just keep on reading while Ari chokes on his tears.
Or whip out your laptop for some chatting while your poor daughter is starving. Seriously, Grandma Susan did not have one single interaction with any of the boys the entire time she was there.

Blair wasn’t too pleased with me and actually decided to empty the potties for the first time ever. I guess the two stinky potties was just too much for her to handle.

Blair: Yes it was, so what's your next move genius?
Alright alright, I admit that inviting your mother over was a complete FAIL but I have a plan. Asparagus is growing up you see..

Awww, I love this family. Look at how cute Parkin and Asparagus are! I think Blair is wondering how the potties got dirty again so fast. Please be cute, please be cute -crosses fingers-

He’s cute!! His favorite color is violet, which should be quite obvious. I plan on dressing all the kids born in game in their fave colors. Oh! And my brilliant idea: I gave him the neat trait so that maybe he’ll autonomously help his parents out around the house.

I definitely did not think of that though, dangit. Apparently the toilet was dirty and he won’t use it since he’s neat so poor thing went to bed with a full bladder after he aged up. I had Parkin remedy that situation right away…well as soon as his plumbob was no longer gleaming red and he was able to.
And lookit!!

Success!! Little Asparagus is washing dirty dishes. He washed all the dishes on the lot even! Woo!

And then it was Blair’s turn to age into a full blown adult. You shouldn’t look so happy about this Blair, this means you’re not a young adult anymore. Haven’t you ever heard that the older you get, the quicker you get tired? I don’t know if it’s true about sim-life, but it’s pretty accurate in real life..and going back to work tomorrow after weeks worth of maternity leave probably won’t help.

Not to mention the fact that twins Ari and Aki have grown into toddlers overnight and are now more trouble than just being pea pods. Don’t worry, formal introductions will be had next chapter.

Poor Blair, she didn’t quite make it inside when she got home from work..

Ummm… I think they patched out fruit in pancakes etc working. And you have to eat three pieces of raw fruit, no more, no less, apparently to determine gender…
Oh darn…I can’t make her eat the raw fruit though because I can’t control her. That’s why I thought the pancakes would work – though I think she only ate them twice each time. I forgot they patched that. Thanks for reading Rad
Ah, I’d forgotten about that. Are you allowed to put fruit in her inventory?
Yes, yes I am! Genius, Rad! If she gets hungry enough maybe she’ll eat them. I’ll be sure to throw some in her backpack as soon as her and Parkin try for another baby! Thank you
Aloysius: “Why Mommy fweeding me wocket?”
LOL, love that pic! Also the next one of Blair looking totally miffed.
That Grandma is as bad as Autumn Staedtler! LOL Grrr, the annoyance.
Asparagus is so darling! Btw, Geraldine had good and workaholic when she was a kid and she always tidied up dirty dishes… not sure which one made her do it though, but that could eliminate the fear of the dirty toilet. Morticia was neat and she refused to shower or use the loo until it was ‘cleaned until pristine’ LOL
Poor Blair.. lol.. passed out on the pavement
BTW Nessva, please tell me, after doing the initial ‘save as’ thing after the patch update on your old files, have you had any problems?
I got the code16 error with the freewill experiments though I did do the ‘save as’ thing, but I am too scared to even load Valentia because I really do not want to have to start CrinkleWinkle all over again, again! LOL
lol, she fed him a rocket more than once! It’s so weird too – he’s the only one she ever puts in the high chair.
Blair standing there making that face and hating me was just hilarious – had to capture the moment for sure lol.
I’ll have to look into the good and workaholic traits to see which makes them clean up, thanks for the advice dear!
As for the patches, I haven’t updated yet because my launcher is pretty much broken
No updates show up and even if they did I don’t think the launcher would let me install them because it’s not letting me install any CC. Sorry I can’t help! Looks like there’s a new patch 1.7 today though that’s supposed to fix the save problem?
Eish:( I wonder what is wrong with your launcher? Apparently when you get WA you have to download patches called 2.1 and 2.2 for the game to work:/
BTW, I dl the 1.7 patch update, and so far so good, the game is saving fine and switching households ok. But I didn’t have time to really do much and I have not loaded my Valentia file yet.
When you switch households, do your sims maintain their inventories? If not, do they lose everything, or just some things? I’m nervous post-patch and now post-WA.
By the way, Aloysius is a fantabulous name!
I have yet to switch households post-patch. I’ve really only been playing the Nobles and the Blooms and I can’t switch with them. I’ll try it out though for you when I get home
hehe, I fully agree about the name Aloysius!
Hey DB, I’ve switched households post patch (no WA though) and inventories are fine.
Haha I’m loving this. (:
I love the way you’re writing this. It’s hilarious!
No, really, my throat and tummy hurt from laughing so much xD
Thank you so much, that’s awesome
Sorry I’m causing pain though!
Totally agree: absolutely hilarious! Love the pics and the expressions you capture. I think ou are bloom’n insane to do this challenge, but enjoy it tremendously and look forward to reading more!
Ouch, a sim pees themselves AND one passes out…how many points did you lose on that?
