Wishkabibble update - Gen. 7
I should have gone to bed last night but it was my birthday so I stayed up late with my Ishes instead.

When last we saw the Wishkabibble clan, Bobble had become an ornery elderly business tycoon, and son Dale Gribble and daughter Vishnu were competing for heir-dom. Well, not competing all that hard; D.G. has the family jowls, so D.G. wins.

Dale Gribble married one of my tombstone-spawned random townies, Beaky-nosed Katherine. Kid #1 was a boy named Scribble.

Scribble gets a visit from Grandma Calista, who is apparently still bitter about that whole "no stairs in the pool" thing. Whine whine whine. (My cemetery moat has stopped working so I have free-ranging ghosts again... I'm not very happy about this, may have to relocate those graves)


Kid #2: Brash, distinguished from Scribble by his chicken hat.


Kid #3: Dobby. All three kids have Katherine's beak, er, nose, but .....????? WHERE DID MY JOWLS GO??? *sob*

Anyway.

Scribble became this fetching teen:

He looks much like his mother but there is something very old and eerie about his eyes. Heir material? Eh. I'm still steaming about the loss of jowls, so it's hard to be objective. Plus, he's a pleasure Sim, my least favorite aspiration.

Except... it turned out not to matter anyway.

More drama in the kitchen, where all the interesting things seem to happen. Scribble was attempting to get some food when a ghost popped out of the fridge and frightened him to death. Dale Gribble bargained for his life and lost. Oh well, he still has 2/3 of his kids.

Meanwhile, Vishnu, a family Sim, was having baby cravings, so I let Avri the Pizza Guy knock her up.

This pic cracks me up; Avri looks so smug! And notice that Vishnu no longer has shiny dark skin... I went on a deleting spree and her skintone must have been caught up in the excitement. Oops.


Vishnu begins to wonder if something is happening... and Simbintie gets artsy-fartsy with the photo angles.

Still more drama in the kitchen! wtf?!?! I sent the very pregnant Vishnu to make crepes, then wandered off to check on Baby Dobby. Next thing I know...

Vishnu is on fire! Noooooooo!


Maura Simpson to the rescue! All is well - phew! Oh, but wait...


Lucy is also on fire! Whoo-ee, I always knew her ass was hot, but this is a bit too literal. Luckily, the combined extinguishing efforts of Dale Gribble and Maura saved the day, and Vishnu went on to have her baby later that night.


Vishnu with baby Hari Krishna Ishkabibble. I'm not sure what Grandpa Bobble's deal is here.

Other stuff:

Kandy Ishkabibble comes for a visit. Uncle Bobble pretends to be dead on the lawn and freaks her out.


Dale Gribble tires of changing Dobby's diapers every two minutes and tries just mopping the baby instead.


Father-son bonding: Dale Gribble gets a hole in one, while Bobble attempts to count how many strokes that was.


Bobble gets himself a girlfriend. He's hungry for a little somethin'-somethin' with a Marsha on top, and she's happy to oblige. The ladies love them some ugly!

Dale Gribble is perfughcion. Wow. Those cheeks! :D

Baby-mopping XD

Sorry you lost Scribble. :( That brought back memories of my haunting-deaths. So your choices are Brash and Dobby?

You know you're truly addicted to Sims when... your idea of a good birthday includes staying up with your Sims. Hehehe. Happy birthday!

Once again you've got some crazy screenshots there. Mopping the baby, WTF? Or the ones of people randomly setting themselves on fire... and the artsy-fartsy one of Vishnu put me in mind of a very messed-up version of Botticelli's Venus.

I'm truly sorry about the loss of your jowls. That was some good ugly there. Still feel sorry about Scribble dying though. He was so young...

About your moat, have you considered making it bigger? I thought I read somewhere that the ghosts can jump across it when coming out of their graves if it's close to their gravestone and not very wide or something...

Hmm... hadn't considered that re: the moat. As the # of graves went up, I had to put them right on the edge of the island. Maybe I'll make the island bigger and the moat wider. I can't tolerate these ghosts killing my heirs!

Haha, some good photos there! Love the smug post-woohoo shot.

I was scared my ghosts might frighten someone to death, and they were being pains in the arse, so I have shipped them off to the cemetery lot I made.

Baby mopping is great.

Sorry for the loss of your jowls. But maybe they'll crop back up in future generations.
