It's A Small World After All - Part Sixteen

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

Olympics are over, Paralympics haven't started yet. What to do? Oh, I know, I'll write an update for It's A Small World, a 'you suck at parenting' challenge! Last time, the cats got old, Seychelles gave birth to twin sons, Bern and Seyland, and Switzerchelles somehow managed to grow up well, against all odds. And FRANCE COMPLETED HIS LTW, WOOHOO! Literally!




France: Hey, that was cool and all, but you know what I'd like now?
HAHA. No.
France: But-
NO.


Anyway, moving onwards, it's time for some babies to grow up. First is Seyland.
England: Sure it's not Rapunzel, with all that hair?


And then... somebody died? Was it a dormie?
France: Don't care, just give me the baby.


So here's Bern. Looks like Seyland stole all his hair.


And then I looked at France's want panel and realised who'd died. Ahhh! And I missed it because I'm so used to sims ageing up at 6pm! I don't even know when pets age up! RIP Lily, I'll miss you. :(



Heeeey, check out who came to visit!
ChibiRomano: Wait, wrong stop, wrong stop!


This will never not be funny. ^^


What's up with you, Iggy?
England: There's nothing to clean! I'm BORED!
You could go play some music?




England: Ooh, excellent idea! I'll do that at once! Just as soon as I decide which instrument to rock all out on.


But first, he has to take a detour to go fuck with Switzerland some more.
England: YOU SUCK! Right, now for band practise.



Switzerchelles grew up. Well. Again. God only knows how that happened.


And then, because I'm stupid and didn't think about what would happen when you pop a teen sim into a college, she instantly grew up again. Oops.


She's a total babe though! Check her out! :D



What?
Switzerchelles: WHAT!?
Oh come on, that's not fair! She's been a college student for ten seconds!


Oh, these two are still all over each other every moment they get.


So really, it's not much of a surprise when this happens.


Anyway. Switzerchelles failure reminds me that I really ought to take a look at the nations skills and see what's needed to pass. England needs charisma, so I try to get France to convince him to sing karaoke.
France: England! You know what, you have a really good singing voice! You should sing some karaoke, I'll bet everyone would just love it!
England: Keep dreaming, frog boy. Can't you see I'm busy with this pile of rubbish?
France: Huh? But-but... I used influence! Why didn't it work?
I dunno! I thought it worked on everyone!


Oh, maybe that's why. Looks like England's still ticked off about catching France making out with his teacher.



Of course, I could be wrong. Whaddya thing? Still ticked off?


Seychelles: You want what now?
Seyland: A bottle.
Seychelles: A what? You want what?
Seyland: A bottle, mama.
Seychelles: Maybe I should teach you to talk, then you could let me know what you want.
Seyland: BOTTLE. FOOD. FEED ME.
Seychelles: Oh! Why didn't you say so?


Seychelles: Hey ya go then. A bottle for mama's clever little boy who can talk without being taught.


Most days are now spent like this. It is as boring as it looks.


Which means it's soon time for more birthdays.



That's more like it.


Ghost cat spotted!


Liechtenstein: Oooh! Popping into the next trimester sure was exhausting, I'm off to bed.
Wait!


Bah, too late.


The twins have also decided to stay home for a dance party.


Canada: OK, ready when you are-wait a sec, wh-
France: I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!
canada: Um, I could be wrong about this, but I don't think I can actually improve my charisma by shouting out my love for large buttocks.


England still needs to be dragged kicking and screaming to the SkillZone, so I try and get France to make nice with him.
France: Come and sing NOW! Don't make me kick you to the ground now!
England: What the fuck is wrong with you!?
France: Fine, flunk out, see if I care.


Oh well, moving back down-whoa what the everloving hell?!
America: You're so cute, baby.
DON'T CALL HER BABY SHE WAS A BABY JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND YOU WATCHED HER GROW UP EW EW EW!
Switzerchelles: Oh America... all my life I've been waiting for someone like you.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN WAITING YOUR WHOLE LIFE!? HE'S BEEN THERE YOUR WHOLE LIFE!







Let's go look at something else! Slap dance has spread through college like plague and the twins are now total pros.


Switzerchelles had to go to class, so America worked on some sexy seduction songs in his Superman undercrackers.


America: No shoes, no shirt and I still get service!


America: Check it out! Wiggle wiggle-
AGH NO DON'T DO THAT! Unless you're Chico, in which case, yes please, do it again.
America: You're totally tasteless, you know that?
You just don't appreciate ~fine art~.


Liechtenstein: Mmmm... drums... zzz...


England is a dirty goddam liar. BFF's my arse


Liechtenstein: Uhhh... I'm so hungry... I think I'll go pee.


Liechtenstein: Um, still hungry, could you fix that?
Jeez, fine. There's a santa cookie, go wild.


Liechtenstein: Oooh, I smell pancakes.
:| Fine, see if I ever do anything for you again.


Belgium is still not skinny enough for Coach GrossMcDouchebag.
Belgium: *huff*puff*KILL HIM.


And France sleeps right through his visit from the streaker.
Streaker: Aww, come on, wake up, I want to learn from you.


When he wakes up, it's time for more relationship building so that he can persuade England to skill. Finally, France thinks of a way to make nice.
France: So... *grits teeth* your Olympic opening and closing ceremonies weren't too awful, I suppose.
England: OH MY GOD DIDN'T THEY TOTALLY ROCK?! I had a GIANT INFLATABLE OCTOPUS, how neat is that?!
France: Yeah. Neat. Just how drunk were you when you planned that?


Say it.
France: But I don't wannaaaaaaa...
SAY IT.
France: *grits teeth* And... urk... congratulations on your medal haul.
England: Why thank you. And of course, it's all the sweeter after your dig about me rolling out the red carpet for all your athletes to win golds. Heh.
France: *grumble*grumble* I still think you cheated at cycling though. Special round wheels, pah! Well, yeah, good show and all. Say, don't suppose you'd sing one of those songs that were in the ceremony, would you, seeing as you're so great.
England: Sure thing! Tee hee!


England: La la la~ So! Tell me what you want, what you really really... wait, what the fuck am I doing? I look like a right bellend doing this! -500
France: MWAHAHAHA, revenge!


I totally missed Iris dying too, but here's her ghost come to say hello.


Switzerland and Seychelles: SLURP SLURP MMMM
Ugh, get a room.
Seychelles: OK!
wait, no, scratch that, you already have three children.


Liechtenstein: Uuuhh... I don't feel so good...


Looks like we're not getting a fourth child in the dorm though because Liechtenstein's just died again. Whoops! And you know what? I'm gonna leave you on that cliffhanger. Until next time!

D': RIP cats and maybe possibly Liechtenstein.

Wow, whatever University you sent these sims to is pretty unreasonable. Poor Switzerchelles. At least she's cute. (And I thought giving children bad report cards on the first day of school was unfair, never mind failing them the moment they've started. Sim school systems are harsh...)

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

It's terribly unfair of the college to do that! In future, if I ever have children at college, I'm going to have to find a way to get them back to the main neighbourhood before they auto-age.

Hello! I'm totally new to both this community and Hetalia (but not to Sims), and I just wanted to say, you're freaking hilarious, Sushigal. :) I've started a "Become One With Russia" challenge because of you, and now I'm scared to load Russia's house because it has about 30 Sims and five of them are pregnant and ohgod _what have I done_. :P

I probably won't try "You Suck at Parenting" challenge because it starts with seven...toddlers. SEVEN..._TODDLERS_!--but I'll definitely be trying that thing with the experimental random pairings, at some point. Mwahaha. ;)
(Not that they haven't already been mixing their genes on their OWN, the little sluts...)

...Notorious

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I love that challenge, it's just complete madness all the way through! The weird rivalries, the even weirder crack pairings... OK, so they're all in this challenge too, but on a less epic scale. ^^ But yes, it's getting past the toddler stage that seems to be the problem for most people.

So! Welcome to the community, and please please post pics if you do the random pairings (and maybe some for Russia's challenge?), the pairings it spits out never fail to amuse me.

[captainchaotica.livejournal.com]

Huh. I wrote what I thought was a perfectly reasonable reply, but "according to this community's settings, this message has been marked as spam"? I'm not sure exactly what about it was spammy, but that's why it says "deleted comment" in case you were wondering.

Basically I said that I already have lots of pictures of the Russia challenge; the only problem was that I had to wait until summer was over so I could play that household and _maybe_ not overheat my poor old computer. Also that the random-pairings one wouldn't be a problem except that a lot of them already know each other so I wouldn't be able to screencap any early courtship stuff. I had one link to a picture of Russia's house's insane Sims panel--maybe the LJ thought it was an ad just because it was a link?

Anyway, the challenge DEFINITELY created crack pairings in my game, too. Including the kind where two people you have never even seen _flirt_, suddenly leap into the photobooth together. Oh yeah. Plenty of that. :P

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

It could be the link that did it, I'll have a look at the comm settings and see if I can find out how to stop that. It did get emailed to me at least though, so I can see the madness (and werewolf Ukraine).
Sounds obvious, but have you reduced all your graphics settings, turned off shadows and stuff like that? Towards the end, I could only play on the lowest settings and even then, the whole thing just crawwwwwwwwwwled along. It's definitly a PC-breaking one.
Ahh, you make we want to do another random pairing challenge. After this one, I think! I've only got about one more update to go!

[captainchaotica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know I'll have to give up and do that eventually (the graphics settings) but I'm resistant to going to Low until I _absolutely_ have to. Medium isn't that bad, as I had it that way for a long time before I even realised I COULD put it higher, so that's the setting I'm most used to, but Low would make me sad. I don't think I've ever _had_ shadows, but I did turn off reflections.
(Werewolf Ukraine is the source of much fun in this household--especially when she changed in the middle of a toddler birthday party and literally NOBODY CARED. (laugh))

Actually, as it turns out, part of the overheating problem wasn't just general oldness, but something in my computer being legit _broken_ without my realising it. I've since had that fixed, so it oughta be a little cooler now. Not FASTER, but cooler.

I've gone back through my incredibly long, rambly notes, edited them, and caught myself back up on what's going on, so maybe I can go back to the challenge pretty soon. Maybe. At this point it's not so much what my computer can handle, as how much patience _I_ have at a given moment. :P

Haha, that sounds brilliant! XD Good luck!

[captainchaotica.livejournal.com]

Heheh. It was. And the interesting thing is, neither of the AWESOME!!!eleven ones, Prussia or America, has even shown up yet...and it's already this chaotic. Of course, the "American" micronation, Molossia, keeps beating up Sealand every chance she gets :P but it's not quite the same...

I've done a Random Pairing!--although for some reason, a bunch of the pictures went bye-bye afterwards. All the offspring-at-different-stages pictures are gone (as well as the time when, during the kid-growing-up, two of my "pimp"'s welcome wagon members got into lesbian shenanigans in the hottub (LAUGH)), leaving only the picture of the _adult_ offspring posed with the parents.
At least I have THAT, but...

...Notorious

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

Aww, I hate it when pictures get eaten! I did a regular asylum once and it wasn't until a fire wiped out my last three inmates that I realised Gadwin hadn't capped anything.
Do you know, I've just realised I don't have a Sealand. I must remedy that at once.

[captainchaotica.livejournal.com]

I know! I don't even know what happened, except that Hypersnap froze up on me and I had to shut it down from the task manager. Now, I can see how that would keep me from _editing_ the pictures with it, but not how it would DELETE several of them...

I have a Sealand, although I couldn't find a hat that was _anywhere close_, so as a kid, he wore...the PIRATE hat (snicker ;)) and as a teen, he's got a vaguely nautical-ish looking beret. Well, whatever. At least it works well with his features. (shrug)
What I'm going to put on him as an _adult_ I have no idea.
