A brief recap of the rules for this generation:
And here we are, back in the torture chamber that is the Stone Age. I go to load up the game.. and again cringe at the masses of kids. Then I cheer myself on. I got this. You'll see. *wink*
Also, as soon as I load in - Paku is out taking a shower in the thunderstorm.. and the lady right next to him gets hit by lightning. Yet another close call! Time to get back inside!
The storm ends - so we send Paku and Utali out to make more babies. We hope. Maybe they'll even be twins so I can get a full house and not have to worry about pregnant sims for a while.
.. And the storm starts right back up, while poor Ryorg was trying to get a waterfall shower. He runs for home.
.. And then proceeds to invent a teapot. What a good boy! LOL.
Oops. I forgot to watch Paku's stats. Man down!
Apparently that Try for Baby was successful, by the way.
I pronounce this like Skjor, by the way. mostly silent j. He's apparently not that ruthless, because he rolled "silly". He's also currently my choice for heir - unless I can't get the goals done on time, but I *think* I have time.
And here's our potential heir. What a sweetie.
Turns out that creepy crawlies does, in fact, hit the kids too. Darn. I was hoping they were immune.
It's finally time. That jumble of wood there is going to be a bathtub. Eventually. I think.
There's one twin.. Loves art? What? paintings on cave walls? Hm. *thinking*
And that's two. Just what I needed. An evil kid in the house. Sigh. However, of note: both twins somehow got Happy Toddler, even though I *didn't* get happy toddler on one of the twins in my modern-day Drifter yesterday. How does that work?
And here's the twins after their Stone Age makeovers. They're pretty cute!
This is only funny, because poor Utali is so very far away from her next birthday. And it's not going to get much closer if we don't start chilling out with the pregnancies!
Ta-da!! We have a bathtub. And he even managed to make the "poor" version that looks more ancient than the regular one. Nicely done, Paku.
Skyor is adorable. How can anything that cute be "the Ruthless"?
"AHHH! Pixelated Bats!!" At least, it said they were supposed to be bats. Looks like smudges to me.
Skyor playing with Dad. Wonder what they're making?
Um... a tribal gnome? Dunno.. but Skyor immediately starts Monster Stomping it.
I have Paku join in, and he does so with a huge roar. It was hilarious.
When I took this, I thought for some reason it was Ryorg out there fishing.. but nope, it's not. It's Yusu.
Working on that Parenting skill. It's getting there - slowly.
A hug for Yusu, because he got scared of the monster under the bed.
Yet another thunderstorm. With two lightning strikes in view. Scary stuff!
Boy, when it's storming, that bush looks awfully far away, doesn't it, Utali?! Spoiler: She makes it there and back.
Utali rejoices that she doesn't have to forego baths just because she's too pregnant to make it to the waterfall.
While the kids are holding a pow-wow about the state of the stinky bushes. At least, I think that's what they're complaining about. Baby Cowplant looks on passively.
I happily think everyone is safe inside when we get yet another storm.. only to find out our heir has wandered off and is in danger!! Hurry home, little man!
The older kids are all playing in their room - safe.
The storm ends again, and the cowplant is grown up and needs food. So Utali goes to feed it, while Paku completely ignores her.
Later that night... (At least he bothered to parental panic more or less correctly this time.)
Lol.. I'm running out of descriptor ideas....
Skyor gets his first bath. Paku keeps working towards maxing handiness and that toilet they really need. I mean, two bushes just isn't cutting it anymore with this many sims in the house. Er. Hut.
Daphne is screaming - but we must make more babies, since she wasn't a twin.... sorry kiddo.
When baby pops sometime the next day, we watch to see what Paku's reaction is. I expect him to be upset. I mean - I would be...
But - he's not. He's thrilled. Okay then.
Oops. She didn't make it to the bush. Poor Utali. But I laughed so hard at this face.
Some evil sim - here she is, happily playing with her little brother. (I mean, she does get joy in people being miserable, but still.. she is playing with her toddler bro..)
Umm... Utali is poisoned. From a spider bite. It's at this moment I realize that the Creepy Crawlies Lot Trait is actually physically dangerous - because there's no antidotes in the Stone Age. We'll just have to see if she makes it.
I am really not sure why Arjuna is freaking out at the monster - she already made friends with it....
Just because of her name, we fudge the roll (it's not exactly in the rules, anyway) and give her Angelic.
And she is angelic - at least in looks! What a darling.
I wait to stop the play session until I know Utali will be okay. Because I was actually worried we were going to have to start over the generation from losing her. See you next time!
