Merrick Legacy, 3.6

napoleonherselfWhoops, so much for my plan to put up an update each weekend. Last weekend, uh... I was on... vacation. Yeah. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Next weekend I really will be on vacation. *mocking trombone*
General warning: sometimes I swear.
Last time: everyone amped the creep-factor up to 11! The llama mascot, who is now an evil comic-book villain because I say so, unleashed his fiendish plot to make cheerleaders pee themselves. Some dude stood behind a tree to staaaaare at college girls. Cassandra decided that being a Knowledge sim meant she should have sex with as many dudes as possible, and Jeremy and Crystal had a nice long talk about their incestuous urges. Michael dated the cow! Duncan dated a dormie named Dominic! And Cassandra got slapped around by blue hair on account of that whole SLEEPING WITH MULTIPLE DUDES IN SEQUENCE thing.
This time:
It looks like after blue hair slapped her around last update, Cassandra has made her choice.
Duncan appears to be getting close to making one too.
*peeks at Jonathan's wants*
D'aww.
Well, all right then.
Propose a committed relationship...
...and then engagement! Now with moar plumb bob.
Then Cass starts making this face, so I pan the camera around and...
Random dormie: ...what?
Random dormie: :O :O DUDE WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE GLOWY THINGS
Blue hair can go to hell.
...blue haiiiiirrrr?!
So Jonathan poked him.
And blue hair cried.
And Jonathan smacked blue hair around for being an ass...
...so blue hair jumped him.
Poor Jonathan. I need to figure out a non-cheaty way to get you some body points so you can smash those stupid goggles in.
There is so much less jealousy with these three that it's crazy. I guess blue hair is just insane because he's a Family sim and they want to settle down with their sweethearts in a little house with a white picket fence and raise five million babies. Knute and Jeremy, however, are Knowledge and Pleasure, and have no apparent problem with taking turns smooching the gardener.
The next morning, I have Duncan invite Dominic over! Dominic is still intense.
DANCINGGG~~~~~~ :D :D :D
ohmigod ohmigod he's holding hands with meeeeee [brain melts]
Me am... not sure... how should react? Should, urrr.
Wait yes smile! Should smile! Eeeee!
Hello nice lady outside the screen I can do kisses now yes?
Only if you stop breaking my fourth wall.
They get picspam because I think they're cute.
...they... missed?
It still counted though.
HAHAHAHAHA I STEAL HIM AND YOU CAN NEVER HAVE HIM BACK AGAIN
Fine, but I'm not letting you two lose your virginity in that photo booth. I don't WANT to know what it looks like on the inside by this point.
Oh, good, looks like that same gossip series is still alive and well. Let's see, Crystal...
...yeah, yeah, I get it, she was responsible for the aliens abducting Du...
...Knute?
Well. That is news.
Stinky dormie: Nah, it's cool, guys. Don't mind me.
Duncan and the very intense Dominic have finally consummated their relationship. In the bed that Dunc usually shares as a place of sleeping with his brother Jeremy. Family closeness is so sweet.
Jeremy isn't using the bed at that time because he and his other two brothers are autonomously jamming. They all have eight creativity points, and sound really good, so I was honestly sad to cancel the action and force them all to go to the toilet or to bed or silly places like that.
Oh, and Crystal has hooked up with a random dormie apparently? They have one bolt now, but I know that up to at least last semester they had negative chemistry. I guess she got tired of waiting for her brother to realize that their love was stronger than social mores, and moved on to the only male dormie at Yig Hall not already banging someone.
And Jonathan has started winning fights against blue hair!
Oh dude! Dude! Michael's getting dragged away and I almost completely missed it!
oh man this will be awesommmmme
...except it isn't awesome at all, because that's where I quit playing for the night, and the next time I load up the dorm, this is what I see.
I hate lot resets. Jury's out on whether I like or hate the fact that Michael appears to have gained a permanent set of accessories.
Jonathan and blue hair don't let lot resets get in the way of their mutual hatred, though. Knute gets bonus points here for cheering on his sister's fiance against the asshole who was trying to control her life. Duncan gets just-plain-sad points for being worried about his darling blue hair even though blue hair will never ~return his feelings~.
The next night I tell Michael to get some dinner, and he just... plops it on the table. And then just stands there. At first I am annoy.
Then I quickly scroll to the front of the lot.
I am 100% not ashamed to admit that at this point I went "YES YES YES YES YES" with a savage little fist-shake accompanying each repetition. Llama cuuuuult :D :D :D :D :D
Bonus: this time I get to watch it happen!
Michael: wut
Michael: Are you on the pipe?
Cultist: Heehee bawk-bawk-bawk derrrrp.
Cultist: Look, you don't get to judge me, all right? I AM REALLY A CHICKEN DOWN DEEP INSIDE WHERE IT COUNTS. I HAVE A FEATHERSUIT AND EVERYTHING.
Cultist: I'll just take this, and...
Cultist: ...why are you already wearing handcuffs?
Michael: Er... well, see, I've got this girlfriend, and she really, REALLY likes to --
Cassandra: WHOA I'M DONE HERE [leaves]
Cultist: Mmm bawk-bawk :3
Michael: This is a lot sexier when my girlfriend does it. ;_;
So off they go to the secret society lot, and...
HOLY CRAP Cassandra's fiance is a member of the furry llama cult? Why'd they abduct Michael and not Cass, then?
It's like a goddamn clown car, watching them all pour out the door at onc --
WAIT A MINUTE
WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE WHO IS THAT
It's Daisy! Michael's second-best chemistry match in the neighborhood! Who I was seriously considering as a gen 4 babymomma!
And Intense Dominic! Duncan's twitchy paramour! Who looks rather unhappy to be in the midst of this crowd!
Dominic: I PREFER SOME PRIVACY IN MY PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE.
If I marry everyone off like I was originally planning, I'm going to decimate these guys.
Michael: Wait... they just wanted to cheer over how awesome I am? Shit, they didn't need to handcuff me! I would've come on my own!
Secret handshake! Now Michael is a furry too.
Michael and Daisy: Shhhhh hide the feathersuits
I... may have plunked a stereo down in the front yard just so I could start a cultist Smustle party. But can you really blame me?
Lookit me I'm dancingggg ^_____^
Dominic is the cutest. If he were real, and maybe a little less bug-eyed insane, he would totally be the type I'd wind up having as my cute dorky male friend that I have a crush on forever only I never act on that crush because, ha ha, I DO own a mirror. ...although I think he's Fortune, which is less adorable than Knowledge. But I forgive him.
These three kept Smustling long into the night, after everyone else had stopped. I like this shot because it looks like a dramatic magical-girl anime about a 60s girl group. Shimmering Harmony Supreme Girls, or Martha Twin Vandellas Go!, or something. Maybe they're singing about a heat wave that burns in their hearts with purity and righteous fury in the face of evil.
Michael travels in style, bitches.
And he got to become a furry llama cultist after all! I has a happy.
I also kind of has a bored, though, so I mostly just let everyone do whatever for senior year so I can get to gen 4 that much faster.
Knute and Jeremy are still both banging the gardener.
Cass is trying to mack on blue hair even though she's engaged to a furry llama cultist now.
Blue hair does not want.
WHY IS THIS MEMORY GREEN, CASSANDRA. WHY ARE YOU HAPPY THAT YOU CHEATED ON YOUR FIANCE. You are the worst Knowledge sim ever.
Oh, and Crystal at least has better timing than Tiffany did.
Crystal: So, er... I'm pregnant and you're the father. I don't suppose you'd do my term paper so I can get out of this dump that much faster?
Forrest: Hell, as long as it doesn't involve child support, I'll do anything!
Jeremy: . o O ( That should have been me fathering my sister's children. )
Me: Please roll the want to marry your babydaddy, Crystal. I need to keep you and Jeremy as far apart as possible.
Crystal: [waves] Hi bro!
Jeremy: [waves] Hi sis! oh god oh god quick into the bathroom don't let them see you cry
Forrest: Sweet! Free baby!
Oh, and I didn't bother to get good pictures, but apparently Crystal is still responsible for all local alien activity.
Also she painted a lovely portrait of Duncan.
And Dunc did one of her and Jeremy.
Painted Crystal: [is pretty]
Painted Jeremy: [is creeper]
Michael's still a pimp.
Cassandra is still the world's dumbest Knowledge sim.
UM HALP THIS CHICK WHO'S NOT EVEN ON THE LOT RIGHT NOW IS IN THE WAY OF MY PLAYING PIANO~~~
UM HALP FORREST IS IN THE WAY OF MY GETTING IN THE TUB
Is he now.
Crystal graduates early on account of impending birth!
Jeremy: There goes Crystal... about to start her new life... without me... CRYSTAL DON'T GO I LOVE YOUUUUUU
Blue hair has decided that it isn't enough for him to have the hearts of spiky hair chick, Cass, AND Duncan... he has to go after the girl Knute's banging who isn't the gardener, too.
I really do not understand why Knute cares about this, but not about sharing the gardener with his brother. Maybe it's BECAUSE it's his brother? Ohh, that Merrick family closeness.
Thanks, random chick! Your willingness to provide a photobooth quickie has embued Michael with life-long contentment.
And everyone graduates, so I make them leave. Michael is heir! Please enjoy his fantabulous transition outfit.
Next time: generation four! Bastards everywhere! Screaming babies! And Michael starts getting confused on just how a Romance sim should be handling the situation.
Next weekend I really will be on vacation. *mocking trombone*

Date: 2012-04-10 12:18 am (UTC)Pathing and negotiating one's way past other sims is way better in this game than the original, but still a bit sad at times. Like the "UM SOMEONE ELSE IS HALFWAY UP THIS FLIGHT OF STAIRS WHICH MEANS I PLAINLY CANNOT USE IT" stompy-dance.
