Black III, Week 4

Last round ended with Face getting his first belly bump after the abduction. Since then we've seen him being dated by several of the local pleasure seekers or romance sims, and fed cheesecake by his mother.

Oh, and it's a cold, snowy spring.



Face isn't going to let a little thing like a pregnancy stop him from working on those 20 lovers he wants. He's currently at about 15, I think. He's remarkably efficient - Sandy Bruty fell in love with him when his LTR was only at 29!



Right. Yeah, that's a very friendly face, isn't it? I think we all know what you're really after... Good thing Sandy is romance, too, or I'd feel bad for her.



He spends a lot of time on the phone, getting relationships up to where his victims will agree to a date, but when nobody new is at that point yet, there's always the matchmaker.

How nice of her to throw the pizzagirl into the wall.



"I couldn't help but notice that you're gonna have a baby."



"So what? I can still show you a great time, babe!"

Apparently he did, because Marie here beats Sandy's record and falls in love with Face when he only has 16 LTR for her. What is it that they see in him?



Personally, I just like to torture him.

Oh, okay, that's not true. I enjoy playing the bugger.

Except when he gives me two girls. Whyyyyyyy?!?! I need boys, frammit!



Here's Enya, who somehow got Face's blue eyes instead of the alien black.



And her sister Grania.

Both names are Irish, like Ronan's own. They're also sort of named for their grandpa Timothy: Timothy is a kind of grass, Enya supposedly means kernel or gorse, and Grania means grain.



Face decorates their nursery in a space theme, even though it clearly pains him to have to look at those posters. I guess he does have his redeeming features.



He invites Natalie Nettles over for a couple dates to bring his needs up. And to meet the babies. He has decided that he doesn't want to raise two little girls alone, so he's going to ask Natalie to move in with him when she graduates. Free babysitter, free dates, free woohoo... He doesn't really see any drawbacks to this arrangement, except that he'll have to be a bit more careful about dating other women.



The Diva called him up, saying a friend of hers had had such a great time with him, would he like to go downtown? Um, no. Too easy to be spotted by one of his other lovers. Instead, he invited her over to his place, where it didn't take him very long to get to the point.



The next day was birthday time! Face invited his family over - mom, dad, brother Jackson and sister-in-law Kayla - as well as Natalie again.



Despite being the younger twin, Grania gets to grow up first.



Pink tux? What is it with my toddlers and tuxes?

Anywya, Grania is a Pisces, 5/3/10/0/10. Extremely active, nice, and serious, plus a bit on the shy side.



She also urgently needed to use the potty, so Face quickly smart milked her and got started on her potty training. Meanwhile, Kayla decided Enya needed to be fed.



Finally Face manages to get his daughter back so he can grow her up.

Enya is a Capricorn, 9/3/2/8/10. Neat, shy, lazy, playful and very nice.



Not very smart, though. Apparently, even though she's just been fed, she can't wait for her dad to fix some smart milk. Nooo, she has to go for what's left of that stinky bottle on the floor.



Yeah, that's what happens when you eat (or in this case drink) spoiled food.



Face is in for a hectic time, now, training his twins and taking care of their other needs. The only downtime he gets is when they're sleeping or busy with their toys. Even though he does like to play with them and snuggle them, it drives him crazy not to be able to do anything besides taking care of them.



So he buys a community lot - his grandfather's old house, actually - and hires a nanny. Then it's off to spend some time being a romance sim!



His "business" holds a couple of hot tubs, a photo booth, and a bedroom. It's never actually open, of course - he just uses it as a place to get some private time with his dates. I'd like to get Contessa Sadie here her IW of 50 dream dates, anyway.



Nothing wrong with using woohoo to get gold stars - right?



"Yeah, all the ladies love the Face man!"

He made it to nineteen lovers before the week was over.



When the time comes for the girls to grow up again, he invites some friends over - the Wrightleys and the Ryans. I was half expecting Paige and Guy to start flirting with each other, but all they did was float lots of hearts around. Constantly. Maybe it's because Paige's kids were there. Or, you know, her husband.



Grania turns out to be a proper little lady. (When she grew up into that dress, I just had to add the hat.) You know, if she rolls pleasure or romance, I'm going to be very frustrated - it wouldn't suit her at all!



Enya is really cute. I can't get past those blue eyes with the alien skin. And she has a kitten on her shirt, which automatically gives her extra points.



I had held up on decorating their new room until they grew up, just in case they made any specific requests via their clothes. Maybe they wouldn't want to be seen as just "alien kids" any longer? But since they both rew up in green(ish) outfits, I decided to go with it.



And so it's study study study all night long! Aren't they adorable?


Points this round: 2, for new sims.




It's never too soon to get started on the sibling rivalry...



Is there anything cuter than a sleeping toddler?
