Nettles, Week 4

Did I really say last round that Nolen Nettles was a well-mannered ghost?

Yeah, right.

Contessa Sadie and little Napoleon were feeling a bit lost after the triplets went off to college, so almost the first thing they did this week was invite Natalie and Nicholette over for a visit. They had a good time together, and everything was going well...

... until Nolen decided to join the party. Apparently his idea of partying, now that he's dead and all, is to scare people.

And once they've been scared into peeing on the floor, guests tend to want to leave.

As if that wasn't bad enough, there's an angry burglar coming around regularly to kick over trashcans. She's furious at Sadie because she caught her on a date with Face last round.

But nothing keeps Napoleon down for long - he's almost always got a smile on his face, and I still adore him. How could you not love a kid whose outerwear matches the schoolbus?

Not to mention pink swimming trunks.

The Contessa was slightly less cheerful. She managed to set herself on fire when cooking - and you'll note that the stove is not on fire, just Sadie.

And then just as she's getting out of the shower to grab something to eat, Nolen shows up and scares her.

"Ohhh, he's so sexy when he scares me half to death!"

If you say so, Sadie.

He seems very satisfied with the course of events. Well-behaved, sure.

It's a good thing Napoleon is about to turn teen, otherwise I'd be worried about Sadie getting herself killed and the kid being taken away by the social worker. So go on, blow out those candles!

Not bad at all! Although that's going to get a bit warm when summer rolls around.

Napoleon is a family sim, Taurus, 7/6/3/10/7. He likes black-haired sims with glasses, but without cologne. His biggest dream in life is to have a long and happy marriage.

Yeah, that seems more his style.

Sadie reaches the top of her second career, culinary.

And celebrates by going on a few dates with her downtownie lover.

It just occurred to me - do you think Napoleon picked up his fashion sense from this guy?

Next on Sadie's to-do list is getting into the garden club. In keeping with the way things have been going for her this week, it starts to hail just as they're inspecting her garden.

"Ow! That hurts!"

Well, she did get in, although she didn't earn a wishing well. At the end of the week, she got a gold gardening badge, so hopefully she should be able to get that next round.


Points this week: 1, for Contessa Sadie's TOC in culinary.

"So, Robi, if I tip you, would you consider marrying one of my granddaughters?"

Ghosts in outerwear always make me snicker. Seeing Nolen change into his outerwear when going into the house, and his normal clothes when going outside, really had me laughing...

"And once they've been scared into peeing on the floor, guests tend to want to leave." LOL Yup, that'll bring a party down everytime.

Another house joins the Gardening Club, which is good news for long term score points. All the compost from the kicked over trash cans must come in handy!

Your stoves produce some funny moments; first there was the stove that stayed burning, now there's the stove that doesn't even have to be lit to start a fire??

Another amusing update, I shall look out for the next!

I hate it when good ghosts turn bad. It's like they try scaring once and then they can't get enough of it.

And Sadie does seem to be having bad luck doesn't she? First with the ghosts then with the date/trahcan incident and then with setting herself on fire.

I could see why you love Napoleon, his birthday picture makes me smile, he's totally dreamy! So cute! But hey... is that Napolean in the white cap? I can't believe you did that to him.. poor guy!

I agree with Spinn... Napoleon looked a lot better before! But you can't argue that his new outfit DOESN'T suit his personality...

Crazy week, eh?

I love it when the ghosts change in and out of outwear! I about died laughing the first time I saw it.
