Sims Adventures

The website I need to complete my Death Note sims is down for remodeling. Sadness.

So I played with my HBC Sims some more. And...yes. I'd forgotten about the dangers of the telescope!

Photobucket

They're clearly very much in love:
Photobucket

And Shadow turns a blind eye to Valyn's wooing of Shana:
Photobucket

Mainly because the three of them are never in the same place at once. And of course, Shadow has his little affairs:
Photobucket

He is very much infatuated with Triana. Keman does not approve:
Photobucket

After Keman is kicked out, Triana makes her move:
Photobucket

And keeps it up:
Photobucket

And basically makes Shadow her bitch:
Photobucket

Shadow, coming to his senses, flees:
Photobucket

Meanwhile, Valyn was abducted by aliens. I tried to get pics, but I forgot to pause. But there is no mistaking the after effects:
Photobucket

He tells Shadow, who seems cool with it. All is well:
Photobucket

Until Valyn decides to work in Shadow's hair salon while he's pregnant.
Photobucket

Someone doesn't know how to be discrete:
Photobucket

Shadow tries to apologize:
Photobucket

Repeatedly:
Photobucket

Photobucket

Finally, Valyn seems to accept that it won't happen again:
Photobucket

And just in time, because the baby has arrived!
Photobucket

And it's a bouncing baby....Voldemort?!?!

Dude, that thing is scary. O.o

dsjkfhdsfj. OH MY GOD. YOU HAVE KILLED ME DEAD. XD

I've heard it said on forums that there's a 50/50 shot with the alien kids: they'll either be beautiful, or disturbing. I...wonder what this thing is going to look like as a child.

That's frightening. Apparently Valyn has ugly alien babies? XD

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
APPARENTLY SO! I'm afraid to breed him normally now!

[identity profile] ranchangrnl.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
AHAHAHA!!

Shadow says he always wondered what happened to their little son Tommy Riddle. He hopes he didn't end up in too much trouble.

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
HE HAS NO NOSE! JUST NOSTRIL SLITS! AND GIANT SCARY SNAKE EYES! AND FREAKISHLY PALE SKIN!

I was going to have Shadow and Valyn breed, but the aliens kind of interrupted that.

IT'S ALL THE ALIENS FAULT! VOLDEMORT IS AN ALIEN! THIS PROVES IT!

Hahaha. Always something interrupting their babymaking. If it's not Triana it's aliens. Curse them!

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
YES! UNDENIABLE PROOF!

But at least this solves my dilemma of 'which one should get pregnant'. It's Shadow's turn, now!

[identity profile] speaky-bean.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Those are amazing, and they make me want to play the Sims. Badly. I'm going to tomorrow. XD; Thanks for reminding me of the addiction.

I do have two n00b-ish questions, if you wouldn't mind answering. One, how do you actually find the pictures you take in game? And two, how do get alien pregnancies going? :O

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! YES PLAY SIMS! BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME!

Not at all! I think it depends on the expansions you have, where the pictures are. Mine show up in 'Neighborhood > Storytelling' - for quality pics, you want to adjust the camera settings to 'large' size and 'high' detail quality. And the alien pregnancies happen if a Sim gets abducted by aliens, which happens at random while using the expensive telescope.

The first time it happened, I thought there was a glitch. There was a weird white light and then a sim was gone, and all the others were crying like the sim was dead, but their face was still on the family tree. A day later they were dumped on the lawn by the spaceship, confused and knocked up.

Thank you! I managed to track the pictures down, so once I play I bit I should be posting them up. XD;

I've missed your Sims posts!

And that is a scary baby. Remember when Voldemort had a baby? That was hilariously not okay. XD

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I missed playing sims, so much. Now I have all expansion packs minus one! Bless you Daemon tools, bless you. :D

I REMEMBER! My Voldemort sim was all I could think of when I saw the baby. Get rid of the hair, change the eyes to red and it's him!

[identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Those were good times. XD And we were so awful.

Totally is. You should have it grow up and make a Peter Sim for it, so the creepy can live on!

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
We were. Oh man, I was building the little hair salon, which is basically a little house out back, and it made me think of the death sheds. Oh, good times.

HA! Oh man, yes!

[identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, the death sheds! I'd forgotten about them! XD I think we managed to kill people quite a few ways, though we never managed to electrocute one. =/ Not for a lack of trying, though.

HA! WIN!

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
NOW THEY HAVE THE ELECTROCUTION GNOME WITH GUARANTEED DEATH! I don't think we managed death by flies, either, did we?

[identity profile] zinjadu.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
That is totally sweet and awful at the same time! Mostly, its scary because of gnome. XD Oh damn. Flies. That one would be hard. Really hard.

[identity profile] ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. That is frightening. But highly amusing.

[identity profile] sabishii-omoide.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah. I totally want Sims 2 (along with the expansions and all the special extra stuff). I've still only got Sims 1 (and the expansions) though, due to lack of funds. The alien thing in that version happened to one of my families one time, and I freaked out.

That baby is pretty freaky. I sort of like the eyes for some reason, but they're still creepy. And there's something up with his forehead in the last picture... What -is- that kid gonna look like later on? (And I can't help but wonder what -his- offspring would look like...)

*shifty eyes* Do you have Bittorent and an image mounting program? I, ahem, downloaded the entire expansion pack in one torrent, and then mounted them on my virtual drive - thank you Daemon tools! - and am playing them that way. I just got sick of replacing lost discs - which I've done at least three times, up to Open For Business.

You are SO burning SIMS for me so that I can get it on my computer. Omg.

YES I HAVE THE BASE IMAGES STILL ON MY COMPUTER FOR THAT VERY PURPOSE!

FEY FEY FEY FEY I don't have your email any more. :(

BUT so -- do you remember the novel that we found hidden in the wall of the old house? The one who had a list of 20+ titles of "Save [Some Noun Or Other]"?

Turns out she's something of a plagirist! There's a F_W post about it, and I'm finding it a bit hilarious because I'm remembering the drunk read-aloud sessions of that book. :Db

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-01-09 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
IT IS LADYFEYLENE AT GMAIL DOT COM! :D

HAHAHAHA! I REMEMBER THAT! THAT IS HILARIOUS!

Totally saving that! o/

I THOUGHT SO TOO. Seriously, I spent a good half-hour at least giggling about it. :D Of all the romance novel authors out there, it had to be the one who wrote the Book From The Wall! \o/

I'm sorry but I just had to delurk for this. I thought I was the ONLY ONE with HBC sims. But someone else has them too!!! So much good!
