we begin with our heir, quartz, doing one of the things she loves most-- exhausting all her energy on a trampoline.
her room gets a makeover to accommodate her and future lovers.
i thought this was a good time to become acquainted with inaccessible beds, but it ended up not really working for me.
i think her room turned out pretty groovy.
quartz: i wish to pet the psychedelic kitty.
quartz and her 10 neat points really like cleaning counters. i would say it's amazing that jasper's personality survived this many generations, but it's really not that many, is it?
quartz gets her wish.
not having any of her own paramours on the lot, quartz spends her time cockblocking her moms.
jasreen: we could try sapphire's bed but sapphire is in it.
opal: goddamn her.
i thought about having quartz call up primadonna or endica... but i decided to take a little detour first.
...and invite up gray professor, whose name is professor dawson dallas.
quartz: oh love of my life... or at least one out of three so far.
professor dawson dallas: how sweet!
skylar: *aggressively ignores them*
i can never figure out how to try for baby on sofas without the sims being married, so this was a fruitless endeavor.
however! professor dawson was agreeable to having a second round upstairs.
and we got chimes! hurrah!
i considered moving professor dawson in, but honestly he kind of bores me. so he's staying at university for now.
jasper: can you keep your disappointing one night stands away from the dining table?
quartz: no.
skylar: so about earlier... that was awkward.
quartz: excuse me, i have other lovers to invite over.
primadonna was ecstatic to be invited. look at how excited she looks.
no idea why everyone had to be outside at once while i was trying to get primadonna to move in.
jasper why the fuck do you have these
who have you been talking to
primadonna: you seem like you have a lot in common with my friend, santa klaus!
quartz: prima, what the actual fuck?
primadonna grows up into a very meh outfit but there's something else i want to do before i send her clothes shopping.
primadonna: *splashes in a puddle in knee-high socks*
namely, i also want to move endica in before sending anyone out!
who for some reason lost her accessories and eyebrows in between this update and the last. it's fine, i'll fix her.
there we go! no clue why the game ate those things.
quartz: i'm kissing endica.
me: you sure are.
primadonna: i'm not a huge fan of this shirt but going out to the city at night in the rain doesn't sound fun.
jasper: yeah, it sure doesn't if you're a COWARD.
i gave primadonna a small makeover too since endica got one. this hair really suits her.
hey, here's a fun fact. both primadonna and endica have two bolts of chemistry with jasreen.
even funner fact! they both have two bolts with opal too!
it's hell on earth.
endica is angry a lot, despite having five nice points.
damn we lost santa klaus.
finally, i sent quartz's girlfriends to buy some new clothes.
garnet: tickle tickle tickle!
spinel: hehehe stop
i'm glad to know that quartz is still doing this.
jasreen continues rolling wants to garden, so she's outside most of the time talking to strawberry plants.
i tried to incorporate part of the outfits endica and primadonna grew up into, so endica kept her shirt and primadonna kept her shorts. i think these outfits look good on them.
quartz might be pregnant, but that doesn't mean we can't try for double pregnancies.
unfortunately, we didn't get chimes this time.
speaking of pregnancy, quartz is coming along.
professor kari: you're positively glowing!
quartz: thanks! it's my love of grilled cheese.
opal and primadonna discuss their love of buoyant floatation devices. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
one benefit of primadonna and endica also having a romantic relationship is bits of domestic bliss like this. aka bathroom multitasking.
primadonna: you should meet my friend, cafeteria lady.
opal: never speak to me again.
professor dawson dallas's spawn is nigh.
chimes! another baby is on the way, this time in endica.
sapphire keeps wanting to do nature-related activities but she never has time to garden so i sent her on a hike.
and it went about as well as you'd expect.
me: *touches inaccessible beds* i don't understand you.
quartz might have the most ripped pregnancy belly i've ever seen.
jasreen: remember when you taught me to talk? oh wait, that never happened.
jasper: that explains a lot about you now.
quartz is a little worried about primadonna talking to jasper. and shit, i'd be too.
for some reason, the game forced quartz into maternity wear for a while. which i guess is okay, since my defaults for it are cute.
something broke my grocery store lot so i have to endica order groceries on the phone like some kind of neanderthal.
skylar: THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE. I WAS DYING OF HUNGER.
endica: i was supposed to accept that delivery. >:(
skylar immediately stuffs face, losing at least 10 points of my favor.
sapphire: honey, we're also kind of starving here.
endica: MOVE
luckily, sapphire is smart enough to cook and managed to get into the fridge before endica did.
although she did burn her spaghetti. she tried, at least.
i took this picture to comment on the fact that quartz looked ready to explode, and fittingly she went into labor right after.
quartz: *breaks her own arm*
one baby! this is onyx!
i had so many ideas of how to caption this pic but all of them were terrible.
quartz: this broken sink reminds me of how hungry i am.
i somehow broke the new recolor i made for quartz, so i temporarily switched her back to her old hair.
quartz and primadonna: *smooch*
banjo 2: pay attention to me!
primadonna: who's a good kitty? who's a good kitty?!
quartz: if you think that pussy is good you should see mine ;)
primadonna: quartz, we've literally banged ten times
quartz: you couldn't even take your shoes off?
quartz had the want to woohoo in public, so i sent her and her girlfriends and jasreen to a community lot.
not a huge fan of that mouthbreathing gaze you're giving jasreen, primadonna.
jasreen got a makeover while she was out.
it went about as well as you'd expect.
jasreen is unfazed. it's not like a lot changed anyways.
i reinstalled the game recently and didn't realize the event camera was still on until quartz ran into professor dawson dallas at the local movie theater.
i think jasreen's face confuses all of the makeover artists. they just have no clue how to work with it.
endica: i love you more.
quartz: no, i love you more!!
primadonna: is it my turn yet?
for some reason, i never figured out how public woohoo actually works until now so quartz was unable to complete her want. i guess i specifically need like, a photobooth to try it.
that doesn't mean she and primadonna didn't try in other spots, though.
i finally fixed quartz's hair to the intended color! and she's looking FIERCE.
quartz doesn't have a ton of mechanical points, but as a romance sim, she's used to being sprayed in the face.
jasper was getting on in days so i had him down another full tank of elixir of life.
mainly because we need to keep someone around to do this.
endica: *just has her tits out at the dining table*
quartz bangs on literally everyone's bed except her own.
for some reason, endica suddenly lost her shit at this point and accused quartz of cheating.
endica, you realize you're in a polyamorous relationship with both of these people, right?
endica: HOW DARE YOU BE ROMANTIC WITH PRIMADONNA
endica: EVEN THOUGH I'VE ALSO BEEN ROMANTIC WITH HER
quartz: what
i had quartz call up professor dawson dallas to keep their relationship up.
and so she wouldn't keep doing this. aka, standing in place being pissed over endica.
opal's aspiration meter was super low and she wanted to make a wish, so i decided to indulge her.
who the fuck is peter williams, why is he dead, and why does opal know him? i had so many questions that i just needed an answer to.
opal: hm. you've given me access to anything i could possibly wish for.
genie: yes. what is your deepest desire?
opal: can you bring back peter williams?
apparently this is peter williams. i guess he just lives here now.
welcome to the family, random dead guy.
quartz: i can't believe endica got mad at me. ;~;
jasreen: who the hell is this guy and why is he in our house?
well that took all of five fucking minutes
peter williams has fuckin GAME
speaking of game, i try once more to impregnate primadonna since i need more heir variety.
i mean, what's the point of having a romance sim if you don't use it as an excuse to have several very different heir options?
no chimes this time because the game has decided to be stubborn this generation.
peter williams continues to fit right in with the family.
chimes this time though! yeah!!
opal has been the only helpful grandparent this generation because jasreen spends too much time gardening.
i have professor kari get to work on quartz's heir portrait, but quartz can only focus on how unattractive professor kari is to her.
jasreen: did you hear about garnet dating my mom?
quartz: no! isn't that incredibly weird?
it sure is. thanks, story progression mod.
endica's spawn is developing accordingly.
jasreen: i enjoy having my time card punched.
quartz: mother, you have never had a job where that happened.
jasreen being outside made me notice this random walker-by! this is quilk, whom i usually use as a model in cc previews.
he has one bolt with quartz. >:D
quartz: so, grilled cheese is love, grilled cheese is life.
quilk: no.
well, i thought it'd be a good match.
sapphire: hi, skylar! love of my life!
skylar: hi, dear!
primadonna: hey! that's a great likeness of the woman i love!
i sent quartz and peter williams to another house to test out story progression. peter williams enjoyed the view.
cassandra also did, so i immediately sent them home.
well, that's probably a good sign. at some point my pc is going to burst into flames before i can fix my heatsink.
quartz: what are your thoughts on politics?
peter williams: i would vote for that ass during every election.
like young mc and her mother before her, quartz can only communicate with others through bust-a-move.
the ghost of rondie: who the fuck
quartz and peter williams don't really have a very good relationship, but they still decided to bang on the couch.
ghost of peridot: hey, granddad, how are things?
jasper: as weird as they ever were.
i'm close to filling out my heir quota, so i'm debating having either peter williams or quilk be the father of the last potential candidate. i'm unsure who would be more interesting.
maybe i'll change my mind and do both.
quartz's heir portrait is added to the hallway!
i sent quartz, primadonna, endica, and peter williams out to the strip mall again and quartz and primadonna made a lot of use of acr.
they even found the secret bed in SHOPE.
at home, opal ages up. she looks basically the same other than hair color.
onyx becomes a toddler! and she's so fucking cute lol
peter williams: move faster.
jasper: ow.
jasper lost his sparkles forever ago and i've tried to get them back several times. however, he won't stop magivestigium-ing so they keep disappearing again.
professor kari was free, so she ended up being the one to teach onyx most of her life skills.
jasreen: recycling! am i right, plants?
banjo 2 HATES peter williams. and honestly? i can't blame her. he just showed up out of nowhere.
quartz invites quilk over for the first time since their initial meeting. i was actually kind of surprised he agreed.
the visit was interrupted by endica popping.
this is bismuth!
aaaaand of course she had twins. this is zircon.
i am dying to know whose face they inherited.
quartz's second conversation with quilk went way better. and he happens to dig busting-a-move nearly as much as peter does.
however, this enraged endica again despite me turning jealousy off. apparently she is just, jealous no matter what.
most of the adults lost interest in onyx after she gained life skills, so she keeps stealing the spoiled bottles they use to feed her siblings. poor baby.
jasreen's gardening finally pays off! her strawberries somehow made these omelettes sparkley.
why can't endica be more like peter williams? he literally gives no fucks.
quartz and quilk made out in bed and then quilk left very suddenly. so no new heir news as of yet, aside from primadonna's current brood.
quartz: i am so sorry i cheated on you. even though it wasn't cheating with prima and that's when you initially got mad.
endica: well... okay. i guess i can forgive you.
found out the hard way after this picture that endica HATES bust-a-move.
i thought onyx had gained all her skills before this, but i was wrong. now she actually has.
and we leave this update off with primadonna failing her basic needs because of pregnancy.
hopefully by next time we'll have all our potential heirs showcased so we can really get this generation going.

Quartz is precious and the hair you made for her is amazing!
Looking forward to see how the various heir candidates turn out with all of the different parents <3

a plantsim jasreen would certainly be interesting but i probably won't make it happen. there's a chance it'll occur without me trying though lol.

But yay! Loved this update, although I thought Garnet was gay? Any chance we might see "Garreen" in the future? Also Onyx is so cute!
Also about Endica getting jealous: I had something similar happen where I had a sim with two husbands and husband #2's ACR would reset (and jealousy would turn on again) whenever he would get home from work. I finally had to turn jealousy off and set him to static so he would stop jumping up and slapping his wife whenever she got romantic with husband #1. The husbands weren't into each other though so it might not help much in your game. ^.^;

i thought i had everyone's jealousy set to static but i must've forgotten hers. next time i load ts2 i'll definitely doublecheck that.
