Chapter 9: Repossession Is Nine Tenths

It's around 8am, Sahara has just gone to school. We've recieved word that the repo man is on the way, as I'm so incompetant as an overseer that I managed to fail to click the 'pay now' when the final warning popped up, even though I have more than enough money to pay.
Savannah has turned to drink.

The repo(wo)man hides her van behind some trees, and stealthily runs toward the house.

She takes the oven... And that's it. Clearly we're not in too much debt. I immediately replace the oven with the exact same one, but rumours still circulate that Savannah had some items repossessed. Damn celebrity thing.

Oh yeah, and they were hiding upstairs. The adults were glaring at each other, blaming each other.
  "This is your fault, Suzuki. If you earnt more money..."
  "Me?! You're the one who's on permenant maternity leave!"
  "Oh?! And who's fault is that?! You're the one who keeps knocking me up! I didn't even want kids!"
  "Mama?"
Awkward...

Love day comes around and the repo incident is long forgotton. The whole family head over to the festival grounds for a day of fun in the sun.

When they arrive, they're met with this sight. I have no idea what that's meant to be?! It never rendered, either, and Whatsisface ran off the lot with it flickering around him. I guess we'll never know....

It starts raining, of course - sods law and all that - but Sahara doesn't care and hunts for eggs after getting her face painted (she didn't find any. What a loser.).

Little Sabrina is left to wander the festival grounds unsupervised. Because this is sims, and that's acceptable here.
Anyone else think her facial features are way too mature? Cover her body up and she could be an adult.

Suzuki rocks that dancefloor.
Where's Savannah?

...Discovering she's pregnant. I don't know when this happened. It's been too long in-game to have happened last time I played, so they must've snuck a risky in while I went toilet or got a snack or wandered aimlessly around the house for ten minutes trying to remember what I was doing before I went toilet and got a snack...
Yes, I really am that absent minded sometimes.

A rainbow is a sign of hope. Hopefully this means that it's only one baby in there again and I can hope my multiples curse is still steering clear of this save... (I don't know myself at this point, she's still pregnant as I type this up)

She joins hubby on the dancefloor. I hoped there'd be some kind of trophy but maybe there isn't even a competition? I could've sworn I read something about a spring dance competition? Maybe I imagined it.

Very soon, Sahara's birthday rolls around. Savannah busys herself fixing things and clearing away mouldy plates while Sahara has a lie in worthy of any teenager.
I figure I may as well have her gain skills. She's got another 8 days maternity leave to go at this stage, and I wonder if she'll ever return to work as she's only got 15 days until she's an elder. It feels like she's not worked since Sahara was born... She probably hasn't actually.

Sahara blows her candles out as her parents cheer in time like they've practised all their lives...

She ages up and gains the 'Loves to Swim' trait.
Oh! She gained Cat Person at her last birthday, and Sabrina was born with Loves the Outdoors and Excitable. All traits are randomised, by the way.

Her parents don't know what to think of her new look...

lol.
She grew up really ugly, so I caked her in ITF makeup which will never be used for anything other than making ugly sims look funny. Sahara will now not be heir for certain, so we're putting our hopes on Sabrina or foetus to be beautiful.

I've not seen her smile yet. She just sat there and ate her cake like she'd been forced to do it. She actually looks a bit like she hates her parents for some reason... Real moody teen haha!

I actually don't mind her in profile. She's kinda striking. I also think she'll grow on me. She's not conventionally beautiful by any stretch, but she's unique looking.

Anyway, that's all folks!

Chapter 8: Twallan Broke My Stereo

Sorry for this chapter, my wonderful boyfriend, the love of my life, my soul mate, my all... Threw away my notes without checking with me and he's in the dog house for real. *glares* Everyone, glare with me.
And also, probably doesn't help that I played all this over the Christmas period. Yeah, I got lazy with writing it...

Random zombie and alien chatting outside.

Meet Sabrina. (Yes, it's sudden for me too! I apparently didn't take any pictures of her pregnancy.) She is... *drumroll, dramatic lighting* Suzuki's! Which is good, because I kinda wanted the fairytale family. She get's a dye-job at birth like Sahara did, this one is a different shade of green, because I didn't move my presets over when I switched from laptop to PC. I keep reminding myself, but I still haven't.
Obviously, I can't tell you her traits. I'll try and remember to hide my notes in secret places in future. Or write up sooner than two months later...

Suzuki plays with his eldest daughter. He got some tattoos... I think it was probably a midlife crisis wish. He got that cross on his arm (green, of course, for his daughters)

-And that plumbob on his palm. Maybe it was one tattoo for each? I'd tell you, but... you know by now. I'll stop going on about it.

Sahara has a birthday. She's dressed summery, because although it's currently winter (you'll see in a sec), winter is only 3 days and summer is about two weeks, I think.

Uhm... I figure I'm trying for another baby? I can't see any other reason for this pic, so I'm chucking it in incase.

Sahara and (when she's old enough) Sabrina's room. Just a little green. Maybe I went a bit CASt happy?

Snowflake day! And it's raining. I have snow turned off in this save, it seems silly to get snow in the tropics. Sahara waits eagerly by the presents while Suzuki entertains some guests.

...And she waits...
"Is it time yet?"

"I gotta go - bye!" Said every guest seven hours later as the sun set. A cold, wet Sahara looks pretty stroppy. Hey, I tried to throw a present party or whatever it is, but EA just can't be trusted with things like that. I'll have to look for a mod and we can try again.

Luckily for her, daddy waits until everyone has left before wetting himself...
(At least I think he did. This pic is lighter than the last, but this is the order they're in...)

And then it happens...

Savannah ages to full adult in the bathroom surrounded by her family (apart from Sabrina, who is still a bur- Oh! I can't say burrito anymore! Burden. Hehe.). I don't think she got a midlife crisis.

Just to show how green Sahara's life is. lol.

Sabrina does still exist too! See! She's your regular boring screaming baby, don't worry.

Twallan broke my stereo. It's true, he did. Overwatch overwatched, and turned off my stereo. I got the wah-wah-waaaah music you get when something breaks, and it was smoking away. A few days later he retired, he obviously knew I was going to charge him for the parts Suzuki needed to fix it. *sigh* modders these days...
(I'm sorry I love you Twallan I forgive you!)

Savannah enjoys a relaxing bubble bath in the steam room. I love the cutesy face they do with the duckies.
<(`) quack!

Oh yeah... This is what she wore to use the bath. 0.o Strange, right? Suits her, though.

Sabrina aged up. I didn't get a face-on pic, but I remember her being cute. I'm picking the heir based on looks, so we'll wait and see who turns out prettier.

Savannah gets started on toddler skills.

While poor Sahara suffers through her homework.
