Thistleburr: 2.4

made it to 2.4! the curse of the beetpoots is broken. (RIP.)
last time:
- umbreen, lulihart, and aselta all had birthdays
- TRIPLETS TRIPLETS OH GOD TRIPLETS
- who cares nothing else matters TRIPLEEETS

sandry: takin' a stroll to show off my beauté

lulihart: good for mom. for my part, i shall make creatures in the spore creature creator.

aselta: nothin' like a burnt, grody muffin for brekkies

esk and neelahind could be twins. well, they are, sort of. they're triplets. but they look quite alike, unlike their sister,

severance star, whose looks have no equivalent.

chlora: *has blended acceptably into the landscape*
boots: helloooo?

she's finally maxed out cooking. so close to that celebrity chef LTW!

eskhind: homf
severance star: *flings cereal in a celebratory manner, as per habit*

neelahind: *sneaks in*
get your butt back out of there, because

it's birthday time! thank christ. now they can at least kind of be responsible for their own needs. here's eskhind.

neelahind.

and severance star.

the kids' room upstairs wasn't sufficient to contain six children (sobs) so i had to remodel part of the basement into another kids' room. here it is

chlora: *takes a very smart sponge bath*

lulihart: ahoyhoy, thistleburr residence!

aselta: *vibes*

aselta: did anybody ever teach the triplets to talk, or are they still doing bestial shrieks of rage?
umbreen: that's such a thoughtful question!

umbreen: you're such a good sister! let me give you a hug.
aselta: ABSOLUTELY NO TOUCHING THE ME.

eskhind was relieved not to have to leave her blocks behind.

oh, neat. good work, thistleburrs.

eskhind: *unhinges her jaw*

sandry: still sharing my beauté with the world!

could you run your cash register, perchance?
sandry: ughhh

the store is closed, lila. how did you get in?
lila: i don't know

good for her

lulihart and umbreen kept rolling 'buy a cell phone' wants and i was CONVINCED they already had them, so i kept control-clicking them away but they kept coming back and when i finally checked they did not have phones. so i sent them to get them and lulu was hyped. the end.

umbreen: congrats on making a best friend forever!
lulihart: it was you

oh, hell. climb faster, aselta. boots is about.

umbreen: there's someone in my computer chair.
lulihart: there's someone in MY computer chair.
severance star: :D

severance star: scrampfle... i rolled the cat person trait.
scrampfle: ohohohoHOhoho

most of the time, though, star is doing this.

umbreen: these sure are a comfy pair of underpants i'm wearing today.
sandry: why did you think i needed to know that :)

eskhind: i'm very excited that i tried this sports activity! that was a lot of fun!
severance star: oh, good!

two seconds later
severance star: oopsie poopsie :D

aselta: can i play
lulihart: you, like umbreen, can eat rocks.
sandry: oh hi aselta

eskhind: YOU! tosser of bean balls!
severance star: you'll never prove it, wastrel!

severance star: i'll be consulting my needles about this!
eskhind: lol bring it, bean bucket

neelahind: nothing but peace and quiet far as the eye can see!

neelahind climbed the stairs just so she could slide back down. ace

sandry: sure is nice to have the whole family sit down for a meal, isn't it?
neelahind: *is not present*

so i went back and forth on college for awhile. i don't really enjoy playing uni, but sims are such whiny little shits if you don't send them, and i am using maxis jobs again, so... ughhh i guess i'm building a half-ass university hood!

lulihart: but what about our savings? can we afford for ME to go to college too?

short answer: yes.
aselta: farewell lulu best wishes

aselta: now the chessboard is ALL MINE.

severance star: nnn... college fund depleted... nnnhh
neelahind: a made bed is a happy bed :D

neelahind: a clean bathroom pod is a happy bathroom pod!

chlora's got two creativity points standing between her and her LTW, so get comfy with the easel, bitch.

chlora: that was quick!
it was six days.

to celebrate, i sent her to thistleburr thaumaturgy with sandry.
chlora: this licks.

even though sandry does a lot of salespersoning, she's the best at being a cashier. don't say you never accomplished anything, sands!
sandry: why would i say that? :D

i made chlora stop lounging and restock.
chlora: *sulks*

sandry: hiiiii

she burned her cup'o ramen dinner again, but at least she's got her super cheaty witch throne to languish in while she eats it.

chlora: what the fuck, you flew home? without me?? i had to walk! do you KNOW how bad my wrists hurt?

who did this. come on

porch dancin'

eskhind: o__o

sandry: so, to do your homework, you should probably, like... do it
severance star: mom.

eskhind: hello, scrampfle. we haven't interacted much yet, but i know the overlord favors kids that suck up to the family cat. anyway, i brought you a snack!
scrampfle: bribery! how droll.

aselta: one last shitty muffin for the road

aselta: bam. i'm hot!

you are lovely, yes.

severance star: hi scrampfs! how's my best friend doing?
scrampfle: bribèd

eskind: this heirship is in the bag. *whistles*

chlora just enjoys painting now. i can hardly pry her away from the easel when she's awake! i guess it makes a nice change from her love affair with the trampoline.
sandry: i'll just hang out here. nearby.

scrampfle: BUG

scrampfle: BUG, RETURN

star is big on naps. mood.

aselta and her ten neat points are on a cleaning rampage. go off, queen.

homeworkin'. eskhind and neelahind hang out with each other, or at least near each other, most of the time.

sandry woke up and decided she wanted to read a novel, but in order to do that she first has to write a novel. so, she's writing a novel. this will surely go well.

neelahind: böök

aselta: everyone out of my way, i have a very important task

the important task was grooving to her mp3 player, in her underwear, in the upstairs bathroom, for five hours. she made me regret allowing her to have this right away.

eskhind: mom, please, i have to pee.
sandry: :D
aselta: this is the right place to groove

sandry: the more i read, the better my writing will be!
aselta: this isn't my mp3 player! lame.

YES
neelahind: i'm so proud, mom!!
SO AM I

chlora: i call this walk the LTW strut.

chlora fulfilling her LTW made me realize i never checked sandry's, so i did.
HAHAHA. HAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! i would sooner eat glass.
sandry: aww :(

i also let aselta have a gameboy advance. i made several bad decisions this update.

aselta: this is the right place to write in my diary instead of doing my adjacent homework.

aselta: i mustn't let neelahind glimpse the record of my most private, inner thoughts!
neelahind: buddy i can barely read

chlora: i'm kinda hyped to get old. you?
sandry: eh

where are you going, aselta?
aselta: getting leftovers. from the fridge.
oh, of course.

so... sandry finished her book. i didn't remotely remember what it was about. i panicked.

sandry: i can't wait to read the reviews!

imagine
sandry: well... it's okay. my next one will do better.
i mean, i don't see how it couldn't

sandry: i don't know what those book reviewers are talking about. my prose is masterful!

sandry's not a quitter, so she's back at the word processor. this time i won't forget what she's writing about! it's ladybugs all the way down.

eskhind: i don't care for mom.
neelahind: *chews*

neelahind: this hamburger tastes like doo.

chlora: i do love to watch sandry go up the stairs!
severance star: gross. this must be eskhind's fault.

speaking of eskhind, she's thoroughly back on her block bullshit.

severance star: THE SKY HAS STARS IN IT! WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME?!

aselta: *grooves in the laundry/witch room*

sandry: look, honey, you're a smart girl. you're making straight As. you know better than to hang out that close to my cauldron. those fumes will change you.
aselta: yeah, i guess you're right.

aselta: wait, there's a mirror here? i'll risk it.

aselta: *grooves in the other bathroom*

severance star: i have to pee.
aselta: dip, dude. sucks.

oh! my sims never do this idle! i love it so much!
of course, she then got stuck like this for several hours. i eventually had to snap reset her.

neelahind: the inside of the bathroom pod sure will be sparkling clean!

kneelahind: knittin'

this time, aselta's grooving right outside the bathroom instead of in it. a lateral move, at best.

severance star: when i grow up, i'm gonna be a bat!
sandry: you can do that?

severance star: wait... a strange feeling is creeping over me. it feels like— like—

like BIRTHDAYS! again! yay. teen eskhind, beautiful and bearing exclusively dumb traits.

neelahind, with her happy cheek stars and interesting trait spread.

and severance star, forceful lemon.
next time, uni, probably! puke.

All the kids are so pretty in this update, although I'm rooting for Eskhind to be heir. If not her then Lulihart for sure. I was rooting for Aselta, but her blocking the bathroom kind of knocks her down a peg for me. For shame, Aselta. For shame! : (
no subject
you should be pleased with the candidates in the next update :D
no subject
also looking forward to the uni episode TM, both the playthrough and the uni neighbourhood itself that youre putting together! i feel like your legacy uni adventures are always so entertaining, even if you hate playing them. ("entertaining" meaning full of drama and idiot dormies) a real shame that scrampfle cannot go with her sisters :(
like boots, the cash register is a minor (un)supporting character at this point. (it looks like a fo4 conversion, but who made it? wcif wcif)
aselta grooving to funky music for hours in her underwear is so relatable. pretty much me whenever i listen to dagothwave on loop.
no subject
the cash register is converted by mrsreval here!
i think at this point it's aselta's emotional support mp3 player, honestly.
