I'm doing my best to put everything into something resembling chronological order, with some shuffling to make the storylines read better. Click on the family name to get to the family-only summaries.

Warning: I still have the TeenWooHoo patch installed, and use realistic skins, but there's not much questionable content this week. I concentrated my playing on 5 families this week, and they have mostly nice story lines (yes, I can be nice to my sims. *g*). But being nice to my sims doesn't make for interesting storytelling...

Families I've not played this week are: Native, Everyman, Breeder, BreederOld, BreederEldest, BreederTwins, ImmaculateHeart, NormalAlien, Fortune, Cheater, Strict, CheaterTrash, FilthyRich. Didn't get around to the Twisted Legacy challenge, either (don't you hate it when RL interferes with your playtime?).

I finally decided it was time for our Romance Alien to get some. I'd occasionally played him, having him flirt up some Townies, but apart from getting Tamak Native pregnant, and getting Abigail Breeder kicked out of her house (as well as pregnant), I haven't done any interesting things with him yet.

So, he was getting frustrated, wondering what was wrong with him. After meeting Melanie Cheater, who's extremely popular, he decided to ask her for help. After all, someone so good-looking as she should be able to give him some tips.



After taking a good look at his body, Melanie decided that while his body was really *really* nice, there was something off with his hair.




Eventually, they decided that K'nat should really go for blonde hair - and considering how much he loves Melanie's locks, he was very happy with that idea.



However, all that staring at his naked body had brought out the passionate side of K'nat, and he couldn't help himself anymore, he just *had* to smooch Melanie breathless.



Then they made out under the starry night sky for awhile, after which they ended up in his bed (and eventually under the covers).



Next morning, K'nat went off to buy new clothes, and then died and re-braided his hair:



He also decided that writing a book on romance would be much nicer than actually holding a job.



The book was a moderate hit, and soon his neighbors started dropping in whenever they needed some advice. Here's Hildver Nordic, who wants to impress Will, and not end up fumbling like the virgin he is. K'nat first gives him lots of theoretical tips, but eventually decides that Hildver is cute enough to make the lessons a bit more ... hands-on.



Gratuitous shot of K'nat in his sexy new underwear:



His next clients were Su Ming Fortune, who brought her daughter, Su Wan. Su Wan suffered from being way too serious, and her mother, while generally approving of being focussed on work, thought that she needed a bit of ... relaxation (he sent Su Ming home, took care of Su Wan, sent her home, called up Su Ming, and took care of her as well. *g*)



After that, he mostly worked his way through the female Townies:



I didn't take pictures of all of them, but he's up to WooHoo with 12 different people now. He's also decided that the world needs another book, about the thing he does best:

In the Normals household, John III shared his first kiss with Melanie (not knowing that it wasn't exactly *her* first kiss).



They continued their romantic meetings in the backyard, but didn't go any further - John III is waiting until Melanie turns into an adult, not knowing that Melanie has long since decided against waiting, and is having sex with John III's alien half-uncle. She did however manage to eventually convince him to get a better haircut:



He's almost too nice to be true, he's good-looking, and he's very successful in his job - he's already been promoted to Lieutenant.

Joseph and Beth Rose meanwhile have turned into elders and retired. Which doesn't keep them from wild, passionate smoochies:



Even tho they seem to be in the process of scarring Jane Rose for life:

Here's Jane, crying wildly because they dared to move her urn from the bathroom to the outside, so that she could rest next to her husband. Really, there's no pleasing dead people. She also remembered how much she disliked Beth Rose, and decided that exploding out of the piano that Beth Rose was playing was a nice way to express this (you can't see it in the picture, but seeing Jane made Beth Rose have an accident):



Josepha reached adulthood, and got a job on the political career path, as an intern.



Beth Rose is getting slightly worried about Joseph, who's taken to wandering around naked.



And finally Jane Rose grew into an adult as well. She's a writer, trying to finish her novel so that she can start looking for a publisher:

Let's take a quick side-trip to the Nordic family, where I spent a lot of time working on getting everyone grown up so that they can start their own families.

Heltwar has turned into an elder and retired. Holgar Sven, Gunnar and Siegwulf all made it to adulthood, and Gunnar and Siegwulf have moved out to start their own families. Holgar Sven is going to stay and take care of his elderly father. They're all on the Athletic career, Holgar Sven because his father managed to find a secure job for him there, Gunnar because he likes sport and want to be popular, and Siegwulf because he wants to make lots of money (Siegwulf also thinks he's Teh Hot. He's such a shallow ass...)

Let's follow Gunnar for awhile (because Siegwulf still sits in the family bin), who's moved into a small but very modern house. He has already found a woman to love: Jane Rose Normals, which means the he's now the head of the NordicNormal family (yes, I know, I'm sooo creative with my last names). Gunnar has been working out hard, and he's already risen to MVP level in the athletic career track.

Here he is, flirting with Jane Rose and convincing her that they'd make a great couple:



Looks like it's working:



After a little ... testing, to see if they're compatible, Gunnar proposes and Jane Rose accepts, and they get married on the spot.



Jane Rose *loves* to cook naked:



And soon, their little family grows, and Jane Rose decides to give birth in the bathroom:



They get a little girl that they name Danarose, but I've apparently not taken a picture of her. Bad me.

Quick introduction:

I've taken a look at the possibly pairings, and realized that even with the introduction of the FilthyRich family last week, I still need one more male. So I decided to re-use an old one: I still had Jason Trash lurking around the family bin (if you remember, he's the father of Lola and Meli Trash, who got married and adopted respectively by Geraldine Cheater). I used SimPE to wipe his memory and delete all family ties, and then re-introduced him into the neighborhood. I also gave him a new last name: he's Jason Studious now. He's a knowledge sim on the science career path, and currently stuck as the neighborhood Science Teacher. Every afternoon, 2 or 3 of the neighborhood teen girl drop in on him (via the Teleporter Painting), and he chats with each of them twice (I keep score on who he likes best. I don't want to force him to marry a sim he doesn't get along with). Here's a picture of him:

The last 2 days I got distracted by the Curious family. I only wanted to play them until their alien-abduction babies were born before packaging them up (I have plans to eventually merge Pleasantville and Strangetown and play them, maybe), but then I just didn't want to stop playing them.

They all got pregnant during the same night, thanks to the abduction hack. I just love the tshirt Laszlo wears:



And this is one of my favorite pics ever: male maid Remington sees very naked and very pregnant Laszlo in the shower:



Laszlo is also the first to give birth: it's a boy he names Aksin.



Next is Vicund, who gives birth to a girl, Iriale. I'm not quite sure if he's cut out to be a mother father, because the first thing he does with his newborn baby is to plop her down on the floor so he has his hands free to make his bed. Pascal (who's already an old hand with having babies) is shocked and appalled, and after taking care of Iriale gives Vicund a stern talking-to.




And eventually Pascal also delivers his little gift from the stars: another girl, named Erekosë.



Here's pictures of the other 2 kids in the house: Starr (who they found in their backyard one day and took in), and Sunna, Pascal's first daughter. She doesn't look alien at all, so I decided that she is actually the result of one of the Curious brother's science project: she's Pascal's clone.



Here's the alien sibling's birthday party. I included the 2nd pic because that's when I noticed that Vicund has started to take an increased interest in Laszlo:



I swear, they look like they're flirting:



And here's pictures of the green skinned ones as kids: Aksin, an anti-social knowledge freak, Iriale, who's really not as unfriendly as she looks, and Erekosë, who's balanced and nice:



More pictures of Vicund and Laszlo. I think Vicund is just insulting Laszlo's genitals:



I'm really going to have to re-introduce them into my neighborhood, but probably one or two generations further down. I really like them - but I think before reintroducing them, I'll edit them so that they're no longer brothers. I want to know just what will happen with Vicund and Laszlo then...

And, as a finish, here's their remodelled house (I also deleted the whole huge structure on the roof, now there's just a little room around the staircase, and one telescope, but I didn't take a picture of the remodelled roof). If I do re-introduce them, they'll get a better home, this one is too spread out, I can't keep track of the whole house without scrolling around:
