Love is a Riddle - Chapter 7

All of Liz's chess playing broke the computer, and when Tom tried to fix it he got electrocuted. I'm starting to think he's got a death wish.

Our second alien abduction! We don't have a telescope or space rocks or anything.

I had Tom put Severus in the walker but he was not into it. He just stood there, maybe playing with the toys a bit, but definitely wasn't learning how to walk. So Tom had to teach him the old fashioned way.

At some point Liz got pregnant and I didn't notice a notification. Couldn't be from the abduction because female sims can't get pregnant that way. They had autonomously woohoo'd but I thought it was just regular woohoo and not risky.

I love this toddler witch animation! So cute!

Bellatrix's birthday already! She also got Liz's purple hair.

Right after she aged up she crawled over and started playing with this toy. She didn't learn any skills though.

The kids became friends playing peekaboo. 

While Mommy goes into labor, again.

Salazar was born with the brave trait and randomly rolled the insane trait. Liz does not look happy about the new addition.

Love is a Riddle - Chapter 6

After reading some of the other ISBIs I was surprised when Liz didn't turn out to be a complete failure as a mother.

Rules say Tom must have at least two kids, so come on baby #2!

Here is Liz again not failing as a mother and changing Severus's dirty diaper.

Then she even put him in the swing and turned it on slow!

Baby #2 is officially on it's way. Let's see if she can keep this up with two littles.

In order for her to not starve or set the house on fire I've started pulling leftovers out of the fridge and using the "call to meal" option when she gets hungry. 

The newspaper boy yelled at them about leaving so many papers on the lawn so Liz went and cleaned them up. Tom really did pick a winner!

When one of the girls Tom was watching got hungry I thought Liz might help out and feed her. Nope, she just kept picking her up and putting her in the play pen then picking her up again so Tom couldn't get to her. I guess she is a bit of an idiot after all.

The other toddler Tom was watching is green like Severus! I didn't expect to see another green person in Isla Paradiso. Maybe they can grow up to be friends.

Speaking of Severus, it was his birthday! I'm glad he got Liz's purple hair.

Aw, after Severus's birthday Tom autonomously went over and kissed Liz. <3

 Tom got right to work on Severus's toddler skills so hopefully they'd be done before baby #2 showed up.

The green girl (should have written her name down) got left really late. The daycare closes at 7 I think but she didn't get picked up until about 2am. Severus got to play with her some before she left.

Our first alien abduction! I'm hoping we don't have as bad of an alien problem as The Kooks do. No pregnancy this time.

I used Severus's free toddler action to start learning how to talk in the play pen.

Liz has started playing chess on the computer. I like how when she does it actually looks like she's reading a book. Some of the laptop animations look quite odd. Maybe we can even get a maxed skill out of her someday?

Labor time! This time they opted for a home birth so I wouldn't have to worry about getting a baby sitter.

Bellatrix was born with the Hates the Outdoors and Loves the Cold traits.

Love is a Riddle - Chapter 5

After moving home I noticed he had this cute graduation gnome sitting in his inventory!

We had a bit of trouble with Liz. Actually, a lot of trouble. She was bugged out when she came to visit and they couldn't do any romantic interaction other than take romantic picture. I played around with it trying different things out and concluding that it was only her that was bugged. I went into CAS, saved a copy of her to the bin, had Tom break up with the original her, then moved the new copy into town. It was frustrating but eventually it got to the point he could finally propose!

I wasted no time and had them do a private ceremony then and there. In case you are wondering Liz's traits are: Socially Awkward, Genius, Excitable, Good, Heavy Sleeper, and Snob. Her LTW is Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder and her favorite color is purple but I can't remember food or music.

I used Liz's free young adult action to get her a job in the Science career.

At the same time Tom was opening up his own daycare.

Then it was baby making time!

I love how after woohoo they both got up and started playing with magic. <3

Then Tom started magically upgrading objects around the house.

Unfortunately trying to make the dishwasher unbreakable broke the dishwasher! Dishwashers are just bad luck in this game. At least I remembered to mop up before fixing it so he didn't get electrocuted this time.

Obligatory puke picture!

Liz spends a lot of time reading for someone who isn't a book worm. It could be that they don't have a lot of other stuff to do around the house, but they do have both a TV and a computer. It's never skill books though, sadly.

The daycare is open for business! I've never played the daycare profession before so this'll be interesting.

So far things are going pretty well. He only has the two toddlers, and although several of their needs were low when they got there they pepped up pretty quickly.

"Ugh, maybe I shouldn't have had that for lunch..."

Nope, just a pregnancy announcement! 

The next day was Leisure Day so they both went to the festival. Liz wanted to participate in the hot dog eating contest so I had Tom sign them both up.

Their first family photo! I hope to send them to the festival each season and get an updated one.

Liz was inside the house while Tom was completing a celebrity opportunity when she noticed this woman walking down the street. I don't even know how she knew she was there but she ran out to cast a good luck charm on her. I can't wait to have a house full of witches and see what kind of mischief they get into! I just hope they don't cast fire blast or whatever it's called all over the house.

"Oh my God I'm going into labor!"

"Oh my God she's going into labor!"

They had a little boy named Severus who randomly rolled the traits of neurotic and genius. Plus he's green!
