Wooee! A Lightning update! I know it’s been awhile, but I’ve been pretty busy with those Zales… Let’s see what Rachael gets up to this time! It’s a doozy!
Lightning Check! Rachael is sleeping.
The kids Simon & Tori are at school, so check complete.
Wait – here they are.
Aw – little cuties. And the fridge is broken for some reason, they can’t use it. FINE.
***1 IRL DAY LATER***
Oooh! A new stuff pack!
**BUYS** (It’s nothing really fancy – but I bought it for the hair and clothes)
Fridge works again. Yay!
Don’t mind Rachael’s awkward posture, we just planted the cowplant berry she’d found while fishing!
I can’t wait to meet him! (Although the udders suggest it’s female…)
I decide I don’t want to have another baby daddy (or a spouse) I also tell lies and I’ve never adopted a child in TS4, so Rachael is going to adopt!
A thousand bucks to adopt? Making them is free, yo.
Aw, how do you pick?!?
And why is that one black cardigan top so popular? Is it like the social worker uniform? Poor things. I was drawn to Ingrid at first, but I went with this fella:
I renamed him Utah –
And he’s SO adorable! I think he’ll fit in fine, social butterfly and glutton.
Rachael aged up! Oops, I forgot her birthday.
Don’t let the cake slice in the foreground fool you, it’s far from fresh.
Simon aged up too.
He acquired the best selling author aspiration, and adds muser and gloomy to his traits. SPOILER: I do not like him – at all.
Poor baby – I forgot you birthday too – I guess we’ll have to get a better look at him later, when he’s not moping.
So sad. 😐
This little guy however, our Utah, is having a grand ol’ time!
He’s loving the stereo and dancing away in his PJ’s.
Simon: I’m too sad to paint my sad painting.
OH COME ON.
Work it out, mood-boy.
You are not a gifted artist.
SQUEE!
Cowplant baby bush!
How cute are the kidlets before school?
Tori has been VERY under-represented this post! I promise I’ll make up for it.
LOOK! A picture of Rachael peeing!
Why you ask?
She’s pregnant!
WHAT!?! I can hear you all exclaim… well, there’s room in the house and that means make a baby if you can, per my own rules. I watched the people walking by until the first male appeared, then had Rachael turn on the charm. TADA! Preggo! I might introduce you to the baby daddy later. I DID snap a picture just in case I wanted to fully divulge his identity.
We have a cow plant!
Aw.
Yeah! Eat him!
I hate that guy! (He wasn’t eaten)
Rachael’s baby daddy invited her out on a date! I accepted the date, and then it was kind of cool, because B.D. picked the place!
The park!
Sneak peek!
(I are sneaky)
Rachael took this opportunity to fish, but her date didn’t like that so much…
Ouch!
FINE! We won’t! (Blurs out face to continue mystery)
Hey though! It was totally worth it!
Sammy-Sama told me that this aspiration would be difficult – either they’ve patched up the problems with not catching the early fish when your angler becomes too skilled, or I was just incredibly lucky. Since I didn’t pay attention to ANYTHING or even really try very hard, I was pretty surprised. It’s also, like a Lightning first! Complete an aspiration? No way!
Tori was going to age up on her own all sad, so I had Simon bake her a cake at 4:00 am.
She blows them out with little fanfare, but at least she won’t mope for two days.
Which is especially annoying in such short lifespans.
I went ahead and picked all her traits. She acquired the nerd brain aspiration, quick learner & perfectionist to go with her already established geek trait.
I think she’s amazing and I’m a little obsessed.
Her outfit is super cute too, hopefully I captured more than just her upper body.
Hey! That’s not a selfie!
That’s BlicBlock!
Utah is still around.
He’s such a sweetie… never any trouble.
Hey look! A cake lure!
YEAH! You suck, go eat it!
C’mon, cow plant! Eat him!
Dang.
I guess even the cowplant doesn’t like him.
Do you SEE how cute she is?
So that’s pretty gross.
It made an essence of discomfort… or something.
Well, I was trying to keep the baby daddy secret just for fun, but he called and asked for another date.
I guess he forgot how much fun he had the last time.
His name is Lex Joseph. And here’s his full body picture I snapped from earlier.
So yup – that’s the current fetus daddy.
The happy couple.
Who both like plaid, ti would seem.
Rach decides to inform him that the child is his.
And his reaction is lovely.
Although they still had another terrible date. Even though Rachael did NOT go off fishing this time, and they even danced together. I’m not sure how this new dating system works.
Please – have the baby already.
I’m sick of your needy nature.
It’s almost this little peanut’s birthday!
The easiest, happiest little guy. And wait until you see him! I kind of ignored him before, since he was so easy going – but he’s pretty stinkin’ adorable…
Kids all doing homework.
So studious. Not sure why they’re ALL in their swimwear…
Rach finally goes into labor! I decide things aren’t so great with the dad, so her sister Quinn will join her for a hospital birth.
And look! That’s Olympia! She’s a doctor now!
Love the check in process.
It’s super cute!
Ooh, what a handsome doctor!
Lucky Rach!
We have a son! Vince Lightning!
Wait! Twins! Vern!
What? There’s another one? Victor.
I am not entertained. I thought one more baby would be fun, but THREE!?! No fertility or ANYTHING. Thanks a lot LEX.
At least Simon and Tori are helpful.
Oh look how weird… they look like girls when they’re in their bassinets…
But Rachael picks on e up and…
…Poof! Boy outfit change. Interesting.
Oh no! In the hustle and bustle of the triplet birth, the cowplant died.
That makes me sad. 😦
Utah’s birthday!
Although no one stood around and cheered with him, Rachael did bake him a cake!
He gets alluring and the soulmate aspiration. He adds goofball to glutton.
and woo! What a handsome young man!
Seriously.
I adore him.
One eating, two crying…
…and one tired momma.
Who wins at SimLife.
❤
Well, she did – until two of ’em pooped.
Ew.
Then all three boys hopped out of their cribs. Before makeover…
I spot three redheads!
After makeover – Left to Right: Vince , whiz kid – self assured, Vern, rambunctious scamp – art lover, and Victor, whiz kid – slob.
I see potential in all three!
Now – that’s all for this post, but I must point out, there are only four pregnancies left – that means you’ll want to choose the next heir wisely! As he/she will probably be the LAST ONE. W, X, Y & Z are all that remain in this challenge.
NOTE: I have a new challenge in mind, that I’ve come up with on my own. If you guys wish, I will take a poll from the last four children born (unless there’s multiples again!) and use whomever wins to be the founder for my next challenge. The Lightnings have been fun, but they’re almost finished!
Until next time – Happy Simming!
