First of all, the house is filling with gifts at this point. I took pictures, but those aren't super interesting so I'll just let you trust me. I have new toilets, more fridges, rugs, telescopes... It's getting messy.

Lillian now has 2 tattoos, with more on the way:

Things are going well with her & Ellis:

Really well.

Lillian has also acquired a new set of fans...

She's been abducted a few times now.

 

She's found her muse & plays guitar anytime she can. She still paints now & then, but her guitar is her prized possession at this point.

Carwin aged up into a teen recently. His party was pretty average. Lots of people, food & Lillian & Ellis in a corner making out.

Happy Birthday, Little man!

 

Dang... These ladies made some good looking kids. I think this legacy might single-handedly repopulate Starlight Shores with sexy sims.



 

 

Now I get to tell you about Nikia's Spooky Day party, or as I like to call it 'The Party of Fire & Death'. It was simply a  chain of unfortunate events that frustrated me at first, but I ended up laughing myself silly as it just got ridiculous.

 

It all started fine. Just a normal party with less Sims than usual since I'm sick of the pileup outside my house. Unfortunately, the fact that Sims could get into the house started the problems, though I had no idea of what was to come.

 

Lillian loves fire & was chilly, so I had her light the fireplace that has never been used as long as they've lived there. Thought it'd be a nice touch.

 

Well... I was kinda right.

 

It was nice, until things started bursting into flames.

 

 

 

Oh look, a fire. Let's stand here & watch stuff burn...

 

Now, we all know Sims are idiots & instead of calling the fire dept or putting out the fire or, I dunno, getting OUT of the burning building they decide to pile around the fire & scream, laugh, or whatever stupid thing they do when confronted with a life or death situation.

 

I sent Lillian in to deal with the blaze (brave & daredevil, great combo in this situation) & she promptly begins to douse it.

 

"Oooo... let's get closer to it..."







So Lillian gets the fire out but everyone's so packed in the one spot, no one is moving.

 

 

It was then that Danielle Platt decided to keel over.

 

 

And then the fire started all over again...

 

 

 

To make things worse, I was unable to get Lillian to the bathroom since the fire began because toilets don't work if your house is on fire. Apparently the plumbing shuts down because, you know, you don't need water if there's a fire.

 

And so, the inevitable conclusion...

 

 

Perfect end to a perfect night. Luckily Ellis had already left before the fire/death/pee incidents. Mind you, he probably would've been passed out on the floor during the whole thing. I doubt his delicate psyche could handle such terrible happenings.

 

Oh yes, & we nearly had a bonus death.

 

I just happened on this guy on my front lawn. I like that there are two people carrying on a conversation while he freezes to death right behind them.

Janet decided to grab Nikia's blow dryer & thaw him out a bit.

 

Then he turned into a Smurf.

 

I learned a couple of things from this experience:

 

Sims really, truly are idiots.

Don't light the fireplace.
