Chapter 5: Girl Time




So, Savannah has just gotten home with baby Sahara. She seems to have put a little weight on on one arm only in this pic. Her snake bracelet is being swallowed by the rolls.

Suzuki is throwing a party at his house. I get a reminder asking me if I want to go. Uhm.... Well, lets see. The host is at my house, and has spun into his formalwear ready for it... Savannah has just given birth... Nah. We'll skip this one.

Suzuki's formalwear has no shoes. I giggle.

He spends the night out on the bench in the raging autumn storm. I don't know why he didn't pick the couch, his feet will get cold out here...

The next day, we invite Tonya Tamarind over. She's a co-worker of Savannah's.

I realise she's pretty. And I like my sims to kiss pretty people.

They head off to the shower for a little intimate girl time.
LTW 4/5

The second she's out the shower, Graham Grantham calls for another date. This one goes a lot better, and Savannah even gets some flirting in.
Oh, but the date is at the medical facility... Maybe Graham wanted some blood?

Anyway, so the date is very boring, as sim dates tend to be, so I watch the moon. (One by Misty. I dunno which one... Harvest? I forget.)

Then an old man walks by in flares and a... lovely shirt. I laugh. Graham heads home, so Savannah follows suit. I'm thinking Graham will be the 5th woohoo, to complete the LTW. He's married, so it could be a challenge. I'm up for it. After that Sav can settle down with Sookz.

We get home and, of course, the rather beautiful babysitter hasn't made it inside yet. Poor Sahara smells funny.

Oh, hey, we forgot about you, Tonya...
"I can't believe you'd run off on a date right after we woohooed! You're so disrespectful!"
"Hang on, Ton, I'm getting a phonecall."

Sav heads to bed, and Ton sticks around to play with Sahara. I watch her like a hawk, because I get the feeling she's out for revenage and might kidnap my baby.

She doesn't. She helps herself to pancakes from the fridge before heading home around 4am.

I get bored of having a baby, and Sahara has an early birthday 'party'. Only a day early. Not even that, 20 hours.

She ages up disappointingly boring. With Daddy's hair and eyes.

Muuuuch better.
I found that shade of green in my presets. I barely remember making it, and I so rarely download hair colours... No idea who it was for, but Sahara's colour is now green. Looks good with her skintone, I think. She kept daddy's eyes.

Savannah looks happy with her daughters makeover.

And takes her to the beach to learn to walk. We get just over halfway before Sav is starving and bursting for a pee, and 'Ara is about to collapse from lack of sleep.

She looks pretty in the dark. And worried...

Toddlers are cute when they drink.
She must love green. Even her milk is green! And the full moon lighting just makes it all greener.

'Chu ain't so pretty when you cry, doll.
Dat nose...

Yeah, so then I decide to move. I use edit town mode and lose all my wishes. Purely because freerealestate didn't seem to work in normal move mode for whatever reason.
I swear they have furniture...

This house was only one floor. It's really pretty, and has a much bigger floorspace than the old one, but it's mainly outside space. It only had one bedroom, so I replaced the bedroom with a spiral staircase and built two bedrooms upstairs.

This is one of them. The one next door is for when Sahara ages to child. Or when I get bored of toddlers and age her to child. I feel ashamed calling this a wishacy...

And so the girls go to bed in their new house for-
Hang on...

DUN!

DUN!

DUUUNNNN!!!!
*Cowers in fear of the randomly materialising doll of death*




Yeah, everyone got nicknames 'cus I'm lazy at typing.
Not one wish was fulfilled in the making of this chapter. lol

Chapter 4: Shock And Awe




Warning: Long.


To my utter shock and awe, the game saved itself on crash (??? Dubble-yew Tee Eff??!?!?!), so we start up from where we left off last time...
Really, I had to pause the game and just stare for a while I was so shocked.

Ursula Lemuel (The hostess of the party), tells Savannah she's been 'misbehaving' and should leave. I assume Suzuki got the same message, as he walks out not far behind. Savannah takes the time to grin at the wing-man on her way out.

At 3.30am, I get all giggly and happy. Wahooo! This... thing... will go on!

Must be the hormones, she washes the dishes before heading to work.

While at work, she rolls a wish to talk to Gavin (who is the fat vampire she went on a failed date with, and also a coworker). I look through her relationships again and discover she's enemies with Luna Wahine. I'm sure we've never met her... :|
Maybe she's related to someone she slept with? She's a teen.

The hormones kick in again after work, and she looks happy about cleaning the thousand papers outside.

Another co-worker calls, Angarika Goyave, and asks if we could hang out. I accept and let Savannah continue on her cleaning spree while we wait.

Then the time comes, and I wait axiously to see if I'll have to edit her maternity wear. These things always take ages to load, so I pause the game and wander around the house for a bit.

I get back and unpause. Savannah isn't breathing. If it wasn't for the leaves moving in the breeze, and the fact her phone starts ringing I'd think it had crashed again.

I get bored and take a pic or two of the skyline.

I unpause again, and wait as the stars rise and twinkle above.
It's lucky Angarika never bothered to show...

Suddenly, Savannah hops to life! She's hungry. Her tummy feels funny... Like it's growing...

Oh! It grew!
I then go into options and enable memories, before disabling them again. For some reason I have to do that every time I go into this save, but I forgot this time.

"Hey, rock, I wanna hold your hand." Flirty trait in action...

So, I check out her everyday maternity...

"Heh. Can we change it?"
Savannah looks a bit bewildered... Yes, love, we can change it.

Much more your style. Tops a bit faded, but it's only for two days.

She dreams about babies :)

I was happy to see that her sleepwear was maternity enabled. Made my life easier.

The paperboy does this every day. Why does he want to come inside anyway? :|

We get a notification about a simfest starting at Micks. I've never attended one of these things before, and since all her friends are at work, I decide we can go check it out.

When we arrive nobody is there, so she sings kareoke for a bit.

There's a singer up first. I forget his stage name, but his real name is Thiam Moya.
He is amazing. No, really. I'm surprised by how good this is, and vow that the next heir of this... 'wishacy'... will be a performer.

Savannah seems equally impressed. She keeps swooning too.

Thiam... Well, what do you think? I think he has potential. He has an amazing voice, too, and I embarrassingly found myself clapping at the end of his set (no, really...).

Savannah wastes no time in approaching him. I'm liking her thought bubble.

For some reason, he decides she's being impolite. She had a 'saw awful performance' moodlet, too. Really? I enjoyed it, and everyone else was dancing and cheering and clapping!
Anyway, so she apologises (who knows what for?)

One thing leads to another...
(Paahahahaa! I love this pic soooo much)
LTW: 3/5

Savannah gets hungry, so she goes to the bar, you know how the vodka diet is good for pregnancy...
While she's doing that, I watch the next performer. He's bendy...

He sets himself on fire, and I laugh to much to watch anymore.

The proprietor starts giving Savannah disapproving looks around her third cup of juice, so I send her to the bistro.

It cost SEVENTY-FIVE SIMOLEONS to eat there, and she comes out with a burger?! Better be damn good, girl!

I'm bored of her same 4 wishes, so I fulfil the 'chat with Gavin' over the phone. She tells him she's having Suzuki's baby. She should probably tell Suzuki at some point...

We immediately replace that wish with one to skinny-dip, so I send her to the pool.
Upon arrival, I remember pregnant sims can't skinny dip for some reason, and so she swims a few lengths instead.

Bump pic. She still has 12 hours left at this point. I swear my sims get bigger each pregnancy :|

The next day, Suzuki sends a gift. It's awful and garish and I hate it, but I put it up anyway.

Savannah gets really into her cleaning...

Before going into labour while attempting to finish clearing the newspapers.
She actually still looks attractive like that! I'm impressed!

Baby girl, Sahara, is the first baby that has had the privilege of feet in my game. As you can see, there is minor floating, but I'll take floating babies over burritos any day. Plus, I never play from this angle.
Her traits are Loves The Outdoors and Excitable.

Suzuki appeared from nowhere at the hospital. Really. He never went in, I was looking out for him, but he came out and caught the cab home with us.

I moved her dresser to her family inventory. There was no room for a crib, but we'll move soon. I'll probably cheat ;)

Savannah stares at Sahara like this for a while. I think she's in shock. She thought this was a real wishacy, but she never wished for a baby...

She did, however, wish to marry someone shortly after this. I got rid of the pillow-fighting wish as the interaction just cancels itself anyway, and locked this one in. I'll let her fulfill it soon. Probably after that LTW is complete, though...
