Sorry, Guys! We had some storm issues last night, so I was doing clean up detail. Without further ado....
Jo: "You're a really great guy, Leon, but I'm not digging your looks..."
Leon: "How about now?"
Jo: "Now your're super hot AND you can fix my computer???"
And in the meantime, I did a rethink about Sue's potential love interest with Adian Jones. Instead, I decided to go with someone else...
Yup, it's Job! He took the break-up with Karima so badly, I wanted to to something nice for him. As they get to know each other over one of Sue's chess matches (she wants to be a chess champ), they find out they really hit it off. *Yay!!!!
The flirting began quickly after that, which turned into Job stealing...
that first quick kiss.
Back inside...
There was some flirting going on the whole time I was outside with Sue and Job. (I LOVE the way he smiles at Jo - he does it all the time!) And they're SO in ove, they don't notice the flies buzzing behind them! Lol!
It was the night for romace, as Leon asked Jo to go steady. Jo's answer?
(she did that herself. She does it alot. Apparently, she LOVES the make-over.)
Leon: "You want to do WHAT?"
Leon: "Oh...THAT!"
Back outside, Job and Sue decide to go steady, too.
And seal the deal.
Job: "You want to do WHAT?"
Job likes the way Sue thinks.
These two are all over each other! When they're not holding hands, leaping into arms, or embracing...
They're kissing. I don't do a thing but sit back and watch the show. (I'm starting to feel a little pervy, so I'm going to leave the lovebirds alone and move on to a different house.)
Next up...
Val: "Tina, didn't Jilly say she had a surprise for you later? Shouldn't you go get dressed?"
Tina: "She's been saying that for weeks. I'm going to go work out."
Well, I misplaced the pick of Tina's martial arts workout, but I had to make her stop to greet the newest member of the household.
"Ho Sung! It's really you!"
Ho Sung wastes no more time. He moves in quick to ask Tina to go steady. I think they spoke for about two minutes before he rolled the want to get engaged to Tina - I have never seen that happen so fast! We'll let them start slow and just go steady for now.
Hey! I said start slow! Again, my pictures are MIA, but these two made out everywhere! When they finally broke it up and moved inside, they made out there. They made out in the kitchen, and in the living room. I sent them downtown for supplies, and they made out there. I KNOW I have the pics. I'll find them and add them later. I'm thinking my eyes were just too tired last night and I glossed right over them when I uploaded to PB. Sorry, Tina!
Meanwhile, Logan and Val were "Discussing" things in their room.
Logan: "Let's take another vacation We went to France, because I wanted to. Let's get back to China, because that's always in your want panel."
Val: "Oh, Logan! How sweet of you to check my want panel!"
Ho Sung was outside practicing, as it was the only thing he wanted to do when I finally had to command Tina to do something that did not involve him being glued to her lips. His LTW is in the music career - composer, I think. I decided to have him buff up a bit. Being from China, I thought he might enjoy the martial arts as much as Tina does, so I sent him in the back for some practice.
THIS is what happened! He's MELTING!!!!
Luckily, when I moved him to the board breaker, he went back to normal. *Whew!
Tina was very happy to have him back, too.
And they were both so thrilled to be learning of the upcoming trip to China, that they decided to celebrate. (No chubby Ho Sung in MY game, look at that gun show! Lol!)
When they got to China the next day, Logan asked everyone to dress in their formal clothes and meet them at Camp Orchid. When they got there, he wasted no time.
He dropped to one knee, and asked Val to be his wife.
And if that wasn't surprise enough, They had the ceremony right there, with Tina and Ho Sung to stand up for them as bridesmaid and best man.
So with the waterfall in the background, they exchanged vows.
Ho Sung brushed up on his photograpy skill so that Val and Logan would have some lovely wedding pics. (Logan is the house photog, but he obviously couldn't do that job on his wedding day!)
Ho Sung and Tina were so swept up in all the romance of the day, that I let him obey his want panel and...
Pop the question to Tina.
She was thrilled, of course.
And we have two happy couples. (but ony one marrage so far. I think I overuse Camp Orchid because of that waterfall, so I'm going to need to find a new location for Tina and Ho Sung's wedding.)
Tina and Ho Sung call it a night, while Val and Logan commence the honeymoon...
"I can't believe we're really married!"
"I hope she thinks I'm sweet and romantic tonight"
"I hope he's a monster in bed!"
They both seem pretty happy with the outcome.
Ho Sung and Tina shop in the market square before they head home. Ho Sung picks out some children's books.
Logan takes the opportunity take on a quest and successfully boosts his Visa. His LTW is seasoned traveller, so there'll be plenty of travels in this house.
And here's a show of HoSung's photog skills...
That last one is a little dark, but it's of Tina all dressed up. He hung it in their bedrom. Awww.
Next up...The Lothario house.
I last left Holley preggers with Lothario baby #2. They both had a want for a boy, buy I wanted to see those Lothario genes in a girl, so it was a watermelon feast before I shut the game down. Well, when I went back in, there was already a new member of tha family waiting for me! (already named, too!)
Meet Sonia Lothario!
After a super-quick birthday (which daddy missed because I wasn't paying attention to the time & he had to leave for work!)
She got Don's coloring, but it looks like Holley's nose wins again!
Skilling montage...
And Karima did potty training, but again, I didn't get all the pics on PB like I thought I did.
And the cutest boy in Simsylvania brought a girl home from school...
Charity Lesson, Crissy's daughter!
"Yeah, so I lift weights, so I'll be big and ripped like my dad. We Lotharios have a reputation, after all."
"Yes, I know. That's why I'm going to be running along now!"
Actually, litttle Donnie Jr has already rolled the LTW of topping the athletic, carreer so I let him keep it. (So he WILL be just like daddy! Awww.)
But mom makes sure he stays grounded and makes homework his number one priority.
Karima has been busy skilling to fulfill her LTW of maxing music and art, so when she's not painting,
She's playing guitar.
Meanwhile, Holley and Don work on fulfilling Holley's LTW of raising 5 kids, so I had them get started on the next Lotharios. I've gotten them both fertility treatments, have the stereos playing the kids chanel, and I fed Holley 6 apples and 6 watermelons, so we'll see how this works...
(Sorry you and Danza did't get a lot of screen time, Karima! I'll make up for it with a lovely trip abroad for the two of you soon!)
Speaking of trips, that leads us Pixx and her trip to France with the Taylor family.
As Pixx and the Taylors arrive, they try to schedule a way to see all the sites, and get a quest worked into the trip.
Thornton and Tamara decided to head for a cafe, while Pixx and Tyson decided to raid a tomb!
They had to report to the general merchant to get instructions, so everyone tagged along. When they got there, Tamara sat down and worked on her homework! Just another reason why I love this kid! I SO hope she meets someone this trip!
Pixx gets the instructions to the Celtic Ruins, where they are to retreive a valuable object.
As they climb the hill and find the secret staircase, Pixx is excited to start, and Ty looks like he'd rather be back at the cafe with his pops and sis!
Pixx gets right to work inspecting the holes,
Inserting keystones to open secret doors,
Discovering hidden rooms,
And having a blast!
While Pixx was happily jumping into dive wells, Tyson was just not feeling the joy. So, he decided to find other ways to enjoy the dark...
He won Pixx over with a little tomb-raider romance!
They enjoyed some nectar they found at the little table and chairs by torchlight. This was the first time I remember a sim going on and on about the Nectar. I actually got game mesages that said "That is some outstanding nectar!" - like four times! Pixx also raised many Nectar-filled thought bubbles, and quickly threw up a want to visit the nectarary. (Something you want to tell us, Pixx? Lol!)
But Ty wasn't done with his romantic plans...When Pixx found a sarcophagus, she saw treasure. Ty saw...opportunity.
Pixx wanted to see what he saw...
After the sarcophagus rocked and hearts fell, I'm pretty sure she saw it.
Afterwards, they got back to work pushing statues...
Inspecting more holes...
Until they finally reach the goal!
Pixx retreived the elusive baseball, and they returned it.
They stopped for a quick night cap at the cafe, and headed back to base camp.
The next day, they were going to devote entirely to sight-seeing.
First up was the museum.
In the furniture exibit, Ty found the French Gnome and stalked him! (He did capture him, as well as the Chinese gnome, so they'll be seen around the Taylor home soon!)
Pixx was very happy about the gnomes.
After seeing all the art, they decided to move on to the nectarary.
This was the first time I saw someone use their own car to travel - Tamara had it in her inventory, and she and her dad travelled that way, while Tyson and Pixx had to use their kenspas.
After stocking up on her favorite nectar, Ty and Pixx found their way outside to the fountain for some private time.
Before heading home, Tyson and Tamara decide to excavate for relics to take home. Unfortunately, it was nightime, so the pics suck!
(even if you can't see her, I still love her!)
Dig, Ty! Pixx wants some nice vases for the house!
The next day would bring their vacation to the end, so they decided to spend it in the market square.
Thornton had a really great time on his dream trip,
And even flirted with a local policewoman! (You go, Thornton!) Unfortunately, Tamara didn't meet anyone.
Pixx and Ty hit the shops.
And the cafe because they both rolled the want AGAIN.
They sat by the fountain and soaked up the atmosphere before they left, when Ty and Pixx both got phone calls.
In her required appearance once each update, Sarie called Ty.
Pixx was called by Crissy, and Pixx went on and on about the Nectar. (seriously, Pixx. There's help out there.
)
Once I got the Taylors sent home, it was time to check in on my simself family.
I was SERIOUSLY bummed out to find out I somehow didn't save, and my ghost son Garrison was GONE!!! (waaaa!)
After I made sure there was no unfortunate accident, I had Jilly and David get to work right away on a "replacement" Garrison! (If I didn't get a new ghost baby, I was going to be REALLY bummed!) I had her feast on apples. Here was the result...
Meet Spencer, Langston, and Garrision II - yay!!!
A pic with big sis Betsy.
While the boys play at the block table,
Betsy plays on the swings. She smiles so rarely, I'm glad I got a pic of it!
So next time, It'll be Ashley & Sawyer's house, and a trip for Danza and Karima!
At least the pixelated version of me will get to live a wonderful, fairy-tale life with a romantic man. lol
Well, that is, except for in Holley's game!
