4.2 – The one where I finally get a good computer

Guess what’s for supper?

Desmond: I JUST HAD A FEW TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Let’s just jump right in this chapter here y’all. It’s an emotional rollercoaster for me T^T

Desmond: *begins wailing*

Cédric: Don’t worry son *sniffle* Your dear mother will come back to us eventually.

Desmond: (actually just realized people didn’t pick me as heir again)

Yes, I’m trying to get Catarina back but STUFF HAPPENS

Diana: Kill me now

Yes I know im sorry this is almost over.

*Most likely to offend others*

-5

Cédric: Son. Spawn of mine. Couldn’t you have peed yourself not in front of my room?

Desmond: I FEEL TORMENTED RIGHT NOW

Take your conflicted self away NOW

Er…you were outside why is it necessary to enter Dandruff’s room to resuscitate your mother??

Diana: Look at my poor little sister. She just seems so lonely.

Yeah cause I’d forgotten she even existed again.

Dandruff: You shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss me. ILL BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME.

STOP IT

Rufus: *poofs into existence*

Rufus: *closes eyes* MY BODY IS READY

*facepalm*

Rufus: My hand is really close and I haven’t been hit yet…should i…dare??

Diana: This amuses me.

GEESUS GET ON WITH IT

Diana: ok ok, how’s the lighting now? Bring back my mom?

Rufus: YUP. Perfect lighting.

Diana: HOLY- genie magic is so hot

>_>

WELCOME BACK

Catarina: Heh knew you’d bring me back

If you kill yourself again I won’t.

Catarina: Mama’s back darling!

Dandruff: Finally someone to care for me!

Not for long if she doesn’t eat.

So I leave these two in their little corner with a few friendly interactions and next thing I know Rufus calls her house too claustrophobic and they start fighting like an old married couple.

Diana: YOU’RE SUCH A BIG BABY

Rufus: WHAT IF I AM

Diana: You’re creepy without hair.

So the hot tub is entirely Diana’s wish’s fault tbh.

Rufus: I can’t believe you put on your outdoor clothes to go in the hot tub.

Diana: Feels so good. Leather jacket weighing me down, oh yeah…

Rufus: …

Oops my hand slipped.

Diana: Did you just suddenly grow hair all over.

Rufus: Uh yeah…Does it look good?

Diana: Does my shoe look good?

Rufus: -_-

Diana: MFMF WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Rufus: Making sure you can smell my pheromones

Diana: WTF

*dying on keyboard*

Rufus: Is it working?

Diana: ….A LITTLE BIT YEAH

Rufus: What if I massage that foot of yours?

I can’t even-

*camera zooms*

WHAT THE HOLY MOTHER OF HELL

ARE YOU SERIOUS

cockblock much

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

-10

It hasn’t even been 24 hours! CATARINA

THIS IS ME NOT BRINGING YOU BACK THIS TIME CAT

You were warned.

Desmond: THAT’S ONE WAY TO DESTROY A TEEN. GIVE HIM HOPE AND THEN TEAR IT AWAY.

Your mom had it coming.

Desmond: YOU’RE THE MOST HORRIBLE PERSON WHO EVER LIVED.

I WARNED HER OKAY.

Grim: I vote to bring her back. My record in resuscitations is just three.

Shut up you

Diana: I’m going over to the neighbours

Desmond: SISTER WAIT DO SOMETHING. MOOOOOMMM

Grim what are you still doing there?

Grim: Watching him in pain is amusing me. I haven’t had a break in ages okay? I deserve one for a double reaping.

Diana: Grim’s got the right idea…a little bit of comfort from others’ misery 😀

I encourage this. Just plz don’t steal a rock!

I need comfort too

We stole three lights today.

Oh Desie

-5

OKAY SO

The lights should’ve brought everything she stole to a total of 670, but for some reason the whole thing reset? And now it’s only 225?

THINGS DO NOT BODE WELL

So wtf ever let’s just start over, it’s not like I was that far anyway FHOKNLASKNV

Oh, gee I’d forgotten about milking the cowplants.

Brittney: I got it covered!

Brittney: *drinks it* OH yeah that feels good!

Thanks for wasting it on your ghostly ass 😡

 

Desmond: DON’T LEAVE ME SISTER I’M IN A BAD PLACE RIGHT NOW

Diana: Desie, when I come out of the all-in-one-bathroom you better be out of my room.

Oops forgot her again

-5

Cédric: SCREW WORK

-5

Screw you. GET OVER IT. She already died once

She’s ready for work apparently. All in blue! (even lipstick??)

3 & Diana: GET OFF MY LAWN KID

Kid: OH god

Cédric: DAUGHTER OF MINE YOUR MOTHER DIED. I AM SUCH SAD.

Dandruff: I DON’T CARE

Stop being a poop Cédric. CAT ASKED FOR IT.

DESIE

Desmond: I don’t need school I’m MOURNING

OAISHCJNSAK

YOU’RE USELESS

-5

God I hate mourning

So the weird yellow demon tail barking at her made her pass out.

-5

Oh my god there’s a whole family of dogs in here

Diana: Are you done? Can I swipe now?

Yes yes of course

Swiped ourselves a few flamingos, such excitement.

Desmond: All alone. I need to drown my sorrows in a snow cone.

Goodness sakes

Meanwhile! I’m so exasperated with these mournings that I finally bought that cat!

I swear the adoption agency said it was a kitten…

BUT I GUESS NOT, whatever (liars)

His name is Diablo because I am original.

He’s adventurous, lazy and clueless. A bit like the grim reaper.

Grim(far away): EXCUSE ME

-5

Diablo: *pokes* Confirmed death. My reign begins.

Desmond: SO SAD *sobs into snow cone*

Meredith: This is my bench SCREW OFF

Desie baby come back home

Oh hey you listened

Desmond: Mom’s grave is still outside. DOES THIS MEAN-

NO

Desmond: BUT-

*moves grave* nope

Desmond: D,:

Desmond: MA CANT MAKE FOOD FOR ME ANYMORE. I have to learn to feed myself 😦

-5

Jeesus Cédric. Why are all the spouses always so USELESS

T_T

-5

Diablo: Humans tut tut

Oh my god you’re all a bunch of useless crapazoids

Cédric: IT’S OKAY, FAMILY SUPPORT

Just pee on the toddler Desie why don’t you

-5

Dandruff: I WANT ANOTHER FAMILY

Diana: I’m the only sane person here. It’s just you and me against the world Dandruff

Dandruff: Let’s just leave them here to rot PLEASE

Screw you Desie

-5

Diana : Desmond what the hell did I tell you about being in my room

Desmond: ILL JUST BE IN MY CORNER OKAY like I don’t exist *INTENSE SOB*

…>_>

I swear to you this kid just went from Diana’s room to his dad room JUST TO PASS OUT, it was his only purpose. I don’t-

-5

Speaking of, with the way things are going, Cédric is about to STARVE himself to death.

There are only 4 hrs left to this grieving oh my god let it end already

Diablo: Yes go vampire. I have the mansion under control

LET’S GO FINISH THAT LTW

We’re going to be away from the house tho…so just in case let’s feed the cowplants.

Kid: Um who are you

Diana: A man on a mission. Let me in.

Kid: Oh. Ok.

Kid: So like this is my house. Apparently we’re rich.

Repairwoman: IM WATCHING YOU

Diana: I like your house hmmm

It’d be nice if you could steal that telescope

Diana: I agree

Kid: What’s she doing outside? Oooh lamp

Diana: One down

Kid: *puts on dramatic opera music*

Diana: I should swipe some lawn chairs too

Sounds good to me, we’ve got an oblivious one on our hands 😛

Diana: And well since he went upstairs, might as well finish up with a radio

Well that went well! Over 2000$ now!

Haha this is where I remembered I’d forgotten that she needs the athletic skill for her job.

Also, see Cédric in the background? He’s about to go do something I’m going to document

I’m so happy someone apart from Amestia the ghost decided to use it!

You guessed it, grieving moodlets are gone! YAY

Also he chose high speed. Of course he did.

Oops lasted longer than I thought he would

HE LOOKS SO HEARTBROKEN

And I really hate that outfit, what’s up with it?

Cédric: It’s my work outfit

The one I keep getting notifications of your demotion for?

Wow lol a broken umbrella

No it’s really a legit broken umbrella.

But he’s had it for how long? Since I first spotted him in town as a teen?

A wild loading screen appears!

Actually this is just an intermission that this is about the place I got MY NEW COMPUTER.

Updated PROCESSOR and GRAPHICS CARD and MEMORY.

I’m expecting everything to go a whole lot better here on out. LIKE REALLY.

Let’s just see what happens.

SO FAR EVERYTHING IS SO SMOOTH, LIKE IM DYING

Plus the graphics actually seem better!? There’s more details and the lights AND THE ABSENCE OF LAG

JUST LOOK AT HIM. Animation is all smooth, no freeze or jumps or rather NOTHINGS

Cédric: You’re really going crazy about this

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IVE SUFFERED

DESIE DESIE GUESS WHAT

Desmond: What

YOU CAN BE A REAL SIM AGAIN

Desmond: ……..im going to get something to eat

GOOD BOY VERY GOOD BOY

Ain’t stopping you guys from merging with things though. Clean that shit up too why don’t you.

Desmond: You sure are asking a lot. MAYBE THIS IS A ONE TIME THING.

DON’T YOU JINX ME KID

Cédric: It suddenly occurred to me that having a constant live fire in the house isn’t a good idea…

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Never heard of fires starting from this.

Cédric: …

There’s a little bit of lag, but a lot less than usual! I do have all settings at max tho

How is it child? Actually staying at school all day?

Desmond: STRESSFUL. Really surprisingly stressful. I listened to the teacher!?

Heheheheheh

(er pixalized shadows much??) *after loads of research and trials, ends up just completely deleting shadows from game*

Diana: Stealing from here again?

Oops could’ve sworn we hadn’t! Bah while we’re here.

Lady: GASP A PERSON *goes to bed*

Swiped some random stuff

Some curtains and some lights, nothing fancy really.

Erm what are you two doing?

Desmond: Playing catch obviously

THAT’S SUCH A FREE WILL THING TO DO

Diablo: WHERE IS MY SCREEN TIME

Ok ok woah! Woah! Calm down! Kitty shows devil side!

Diana: BAD KITTY. What are you trying to do to chairs we rarely use??

Cédric: I’m about to use it.

There’s your screen time Diablo.

Diablo: >_>

Just for the information…

My sims COMPLETELY neglect the downstairs bathroom because of the all-in-one bathrooms upstairs and that annoys me so I built a bathroom between Diana and Cédric’s room.

*sudden genie summon*

Diana: Genie I’m bored, keep me company.

Hey look, he kept the hairdo! And gave himself some earrings.

Rufus: You actually want my company??

Diana: Just shut up and follow me.

Ah this makes sense

Diana: My house is not trashy asshat!

Rufus: Ah but it is- *foomp*

He’s actually kind of cute guuuuyyysss

But I dunno. He’s definitely an option.

So far he’s a hopeless romantic with a good sense of humor 😛

Well there you have it no shadows.

Bah it’s not that bad. Nothing on the ground, but it’s definitely a lot more livable than blocky shadows.

Everybody’s at work/school so we got a babysitter! Haven’t had a babysitter in…have I ever had a babysitter come in this save!?

Dandruff: Look here Susie, you just have to pick me up and leave this place.

Susie: How do you know my name??

Dandruff: Don’t ask things you don’t want to know.

Susie: O_O

Let’s show our appreciation for work by vandalizing their grass, yes let’s do this.

Diana: This masterpiece will be worth a LOT of cash

Well the opportunity is going to give us cash soooo yeah!

Oh really just gorgeous!

Diana: Yeah I’m burning, if you don’t mind I’m going home.

OK BEST BUY EVER

Desmond: I’m just cleaning the toiler GEEZ

Seriously guys, my game’s had the opportunity to crash five hundred times and it hasn’t yet, and everything is so smooth. Ahhhh feels good

Cédric: Poor kitty stuck in a dirty litter box

NOFIASKJFFHA

All this cleaning, I can’t take it.

Stealing from some poor neighbours again, with Meatball as our only witness.

He kind of reminds me of those ball dogs from Mario? Remember these?

That looks pretty neat

Managed to swipe some pretty neat stuff! We’re at 4 000$ now! Let’s shorten that to 4/50 of the LTW done!

RHAM IS THAT YOU

Did you come back from the dead to make your grand daughter’s bed?

Rham: Brittney’s mad at me ;-; *lays down and curls up on bed*

Diana: I have a problem here

Just one?

Diana: I can’t push his ghostly ass off

It’s okay, the game allows you to sleep in the bed while your grandpa naps beside you

Diana: …

GOOD CHILD

*pets head*

Desmond: >_>

(he actually finished it too)

WE FINALLY GOT A JOB LEVEL UP! She’s level 2 now 🙂

And some random gifts from the mail apparently. Diana has some admirers. (no one interesting)

Diana: Just old men sending me paintings.

Brittney: Ah granddaughter you look absolutely gorgeous! Have you seen my husband?

Diana: You stink grandma

Brittney: No dear that’s you

Diana: Exactly, I have better things to do.

Hey look who found the pool which was meant for decoration!

Cédric: So pretty…

Whatchu you looking at?

Huh, yeah does look pretty neat.

Might as well end it here. On a neat note instead of a FAIL or something. (but who knows, is the new computer the start of positive points!?)
