Happy New Year everyone! I figured I would start 2015 off with the LAST CHAPTER of Generation Two! We are slowly making progress in this legacy. Huzzah! Let the kookiness commence.
Kenneth is still hard at work trying to fulfill his LTW. You can do it! I believe in you!
Fun factoid, when the family moved here most of them wished for a telescope so I bought one. Kim is the first, and only, one to actually use it.
Chris: Grandpa? Are you sleeping?
Ben: No, I’m jogging.
Chris: Then… are you dead?
Ben: … yes
Chris: O.O
Ben is NOT DEAD! Chris, quit being so creepy!
Ryan: Moooooommmm! Move! I need to use this disgusting toilet!
Sun Young: Hmmm… I wonder if Ben will be around long enough so I can marry him when my dear husband passes…
Ryan: Say what now?
My thoughts exactly Ryan, you poor child. Stop being unfaithful to your husband Sun!
Kim: Well, this is unfortunate. Now how am I supposed to eat my salad?
Are you guys sure you want her as heir? I mean, she’s not the brightest bulb in the box. 😉
Sun decided to stand in the corner as punishment for ruining Ryan’s childhood. Or she was admiring the paint job, who knows.
Kenneth still needs just a couple more points to complete his LTW. One for athletic, and one for martial arts. Why does this take so long!!
Sun happened to be going stir crazy so she went along. Good thing there is a computer at the gym since Sun never works out after she had kids.
Look who it is! HI LEE!!
REALLY SUN! Seducing Ben isn’t enough, now you’re moving onto Kenneth’s half-brother?! KENNETH! Look at what your wife is doing!!!
Kenneth: Ummm… what’s your issue? They’re just dancing, it’s harmless.
*faceplam* You are too innocent Kenneth.
NOOOOOO!!! I knew that alien was on a reconnaissance mission! There must be a tracking device in Cindy’s urn!
Kenneth: Those lights! No! I can’t be!
I’m sorry Kenneth. I can’t stop this!
Yep, just beam him up, like always. Is it really necessary to terrify your victims like this?
Look at her gloating: ‘I found the Kooks! The Kook men are mine! *insert evil laugh*’ Wait, what’s that yellow thing behind her head?
O.O I don’t know what that is but I want one! It kind of looks like a cat…
Kenneth: Ryan, do you have to make you food right there? I can’t get to the fridge!
Ryan: Hold on pops, I’m almost done!
Maybe the kitchen should be redesigned. Also, side note, Kenneth’s stint with the alien did not result in a pregnancy.
Oh, hey Cindy. You’ll never guess who dropped by the other night. It seems your old alien buddies are in town! And they came to visit!
Cindy: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Of course you don’t! I’m watching you though…
Let’s see what the world is up to! Lee got a job so now he can work on fulfilling his own LTW.
My simself had her baby! Why the name Roberta, I have no clue. It’s not my first choice of name.
Sam is working on becoming a chess master. No wonder we don’t hear much from her, she spends all her time playing chess.
Ami, on the other hand, is not doing so well at becoming a chess master. Maybe she and Sam should hang out.
This makes me sad, I was hoping for ghost babies! But Tasha deserves someone who is a little younger and more ‘alive’.
I guess Ami decided she must train her body along with her mind to become a true chess master.
Tasha also has an obsession with fitness. I guess that’s what happens in a small town.
I knew he was a total creep! Tasha was right to kick you to the curb!
You win one, you lose one. Although it sounds like Sam put in a good effort.
Ami’s theory on training the body as well as the mind seems to be working!
Go away Emil! Don’t you have a new love interest already?
Wow Emil, this is a new low. I hope Tasha is taking appropriate safety precautions.
No! Lee is losing popularity with the ladies! Spend less time working Lee and have some babies!!
Kenneth is SO close to maxing his athletic skill!
Look at that dedication, the concentration, the sweat pouring off his brow!
Success! Kenneth is halfway done his LTW! (+10 points!)
Why does Chris always look like he’s concentrating VERY hard on something? Also, yay for autonomous laundry cleanup!
Hm. How many alien abductions can we fit into one chapter of Insanity Family? We’re going for a record here folks.
Isn’t that just lovely. We barely see you in action and when we do, you do this. No wonder you don’t get screen time Salem.
Salem: Who, me? I didn’t do that. Nope. It was, uh, that other black cat.
This family only has one cat. Nice try.
Sun: Don’t forget to take the trash out on your way to school or it will get all smelly.
Ryan: You do realize you have two other kids who are doing nothing right now that could take the trash out.
O.O Ryan eats with chopsticks! Who cares about trash, Ryan has the hidden Chinese culture trait!
I just love this kid! He makes the best faces ever. I guess he’s not very happy to take the trash out.
Kim: Hey Salem, how’s it going?
Dusty: Oh sure, say hi to the cat! It’s not like I’m standing right here or anything.
Hooray or autonomous homework! Again, what’s with the face Ryan? XD
More autonomous homework!
Chris: I just had a brilliant idea! Let’s do our homework OUTSIDE! I mean, we’re already in our winter coats, we’ll be warm enough.
Kim: Let’s not and say we did, ‘kay?
I guess intentionally sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag is better than passing out.
Ben: Don’t make fun of the old man, you put my room upstairs at the very back of the house! Do you know how hard it is to climb stairs when you’re this ancient?
I dunno, you still seem to be very active for how old you are. I saw you using the training dummy the other day.
Ben: I did nothing of the sort!
Despite what he says, Dusty gets all the love and play time. Salem ignores everyone and is ignored by everyone. But you didn’t hear that from me.
Why are spouses so utterly useless? Sun stood out here FOREVER doing NOTHING. I think she got some tips from Cindy.
Kenneth had a wish to meditate and it also raises his martial arts skill! It’s a win/win situation.
Is there a reason you’re sitting out here all alone in the rain? No? Ok, well carry on.
It’s Spooky Day! I wish there was a way to send the kids out trick-or-treating without controlling them.
Kenneth: Aren’t you a little old for this?
Cheerleader: Just give some candy old man, I haven’t eaten all day.
Chris: Here’s your candy. Don’t get sick!
Tiger-Kid: My mommy made my costume!
Good for you kid, now go home so Chris can go inside and dry off.
I swear, I only take his picture because I love how expressive he is!
We’re almost there! Kenneth just has a sliver to go on his skill bar!
Kenneth made it! He completed his LTW! (+10 points for maxing a skill, and +40 points for fulfilling his LTW!)
Like, seriously?! No sooner did he complete his LTW did the aliens come for him YET AGAIN. Have a safe trip!
While Kenneth is off gallivanting with aliens I have a couple updates. My simself is still with lover-boy.
And Tasha is now dating Pedro! That is all.
Kenneth: Ok, this is really getting old. I don’t like you.
Alien: But it’s so much fun! See ya!
Since this is the last chapter we have to get everything in! So let’s get started on Prom Night!
At least the Kook kids will fit in at the dance, no one else seems to have gotten the memo that this was a formal dance. Let the prom popup spam begin!
Prom highlights: All three kids fell in love at prom! None of the kids became prom King or Queen.
And as usual the prom pictures are horrible. 🙂
What are you doing up so late Ben?
Ben: Oh nothing, just watching some TV.
Ah HA! I caught you in the act! You are not some crippled old man!
Ben: N-no! You have it all wrong, I’m not working out, I’m not!
Don’t try to fool me! Hey, where are you going?
Ben: Pretty… lights…
Oh, not this again.
Ben: I can’t stop looking at them!
Ben: HELP ME! Aren’t you going to stop them?!
Nope.
Ben: I don’t feel so good…
It’s your own fault for starring at the pretty lights.
It’s birthday time! Let’s throw a huge party and fall into chaos!
Kenneth: I want a HUGE turnout! It’s not every day your daughter becomes a young adult! Invite the whole town!
Um, what about McKenna? She’s your daughter too you know. Where was her big party?
Kenneth: … she didn’t want one.
Sure she didn’t.
While we wait for party guests, let’s have the last few updates of Generation Two. Sam needs to spend less time with a chess board and more time with other sims.
Emil is STILL stalking Tasha. And since he’s a ghost that’s extra, extra creepy.
Jennika is the girl that Chris fell head over heels for at prom. And get this, she calls Chris ALL THE TIME.
And last but not least, Tasha and Pedro broke up. 😦 I’m sure Tasha has her reasons.
The first few party guests have arrived! See the kid with the blonde hair? That’s Pierre, Kim’s love from prom. And Sam showed up! Hi Sam!
Oh! And there’s Sean, and Tasha, and Lee! Hi guys! Also, see the girl in the purple shirt? That would be the girl Ryan fell in love with at prom.
Oh look! I’m here! What the heck did I bring for food? Oh, and girl in the blue sweater is Jennika. She also brought her new boyfriend. Good job.
Pierre finds Kenneth extremely funny for some reason.
McKenna: That is my father you’re laughing at. Please stop or you will feel the wrath of my ninja cat army!
Which currently consists of one cat. Such a fearsome force!
Sean: Boo! Kenneth’s party sucks!
It’s not even started yet! Give the man a chance!
Sam: I like cats.
Jennika: That’s nice. Have you seen Chris around?
Tasha: Is this twerp going to go inside or should I just push past him?
Yay for random teens showing up and causing road blocks.
Let’s get this party started! I took the liberty of buying two cakes in case the first one caught on fire. 🙂
Huzzah! Birthday cheers all around! Yay!
Uhm, Grimm? Buddy, what are you doing here? There’s no fire…
Ben: Oh no… is it time already?
Grimm: I’m not here for you Ben.
Grimm: BEHOLD! I have come for –
Salem:Â I knew it! I’m ready! Take me to a wonderful place!
Grimm: No! What? Why would I be here for you? I should have just gone into science like my parents wanted me to, no one ever lets me just do my job.
Meanwhile, back on the party front, Kim successfully blew out the candles with no fire!
Kim: H-hey guys! Guys! I’m sparkling! Is anyone watching?!
Grimm: Hello Dusty. It is time.
Dusty: Can I have some cake first?
Grimm: Where you’re going, you can have anything you ever wanted.
Dusty: Really?! *Wags tail happily*
Kim: Just as pretty as ever! AmIright? 😀
You’re dog is dying! At least look a little heartbroken!
I love how the only ones who realize what’s happening with Dusty are the SimSelves. Way to go us for actually caring!
Grimm: Ok Dusty, I have a special treat for you!
Dusty: For me?
Grimm: Are you a good boy?
Dusty: Oh yah!
Grimm: Do you want the stick?
Dusty: A stick? A stick! I want the stick!
Grimm: Up here Dusty, catch the stick!
Dusty: I got it!
Grimm: My job here is done. My apologies for interrupting the party.
Salem: SAY WHAAAAAT?! *Mind blown*
And then the realization slowly sets in.
Kenneth: Did… that actually just… happen?
I’m afraid it did Kenneth.
Cue the crying.
WAY TO GO CHRIS! (-5 points)
Chris: My grief, it’s so great, I can’t hold my bladder!
Ew.
PS – I aged up Pierre, Kim’s love interest. I didn’t know how old he was compared to Kim so I figured why not.
He’s pretty handsome!
Kim earned an A in school but she didn’t have it long enough to be considered on the honour roll. Good job anyway!
She rolled Unstable. Great, this should be fun.
I like LTW that require skills to be maxed. This way Kim can stay at home, but these two skills will also be money makers.
Kenneth: Happy Birthday Kim! Now that you are a young adult it is time to pass the torch.
Kim: Pass the what?
Kenneth: All will be explained. But from this moment forward you are the head of the family!
Kim: Really! Thank you dad! I love you! I just wish Dusty was still here. *Cries into dad’s shoulder*
Kenneth: I know sweetie, me too.
And so, Generation Two comes to a close, marked by the passing of a loyal friend. Dusty was a great pet and an even greater friend to Ben. He was by his side always and lived to a ripe old age of 161 days. Dusty will always have a place in our hearts.
