Chapter 2.47- Behind the Scenes

Because I refuse to purposely kill my sims off and break the rules. My OCD just won't let me.

We'll start with Layla aging to Adult.

Yup. Over in the corner laughing that entire scene was her loving husband. :/

Layla actually walked off to go and recycle some newspapers. I just decided to go with it since she's such an absent parent for Mariah.

The new school lot for Appaloosa Pains since I was sick and tired of that monstrosity combo that was here. Poor Mariah gets to make that long walk up to those doors all alone.

Guess who else had a birthday?

Ignacio- I have a bad feeling about this Mi Llamita!

Ignacio- Awwwwww. See? This blows.
Layla- BWAAAAAAAhahahahahahaha!!!

Ignacio- There we go! That's better! I can really scare off any guys who come after my little girl now!

Again, I hadn't intended to shoot this birthday, but Roger and Layla autonomously positioned themselves perfectly.

And the rest of the guests managed to give me ample room without having to pick up anyone in buy mode. That's Cyrus on the left.

Nalleli- I just need to walk over here. Don't mind me.
Ignacio- OMG! PHOTOBOMB! LOL!

What do you have against sweet little Roger, Nalleli?

She then proceeded to assist Cyrus in making sure we didn't see Tibi any more at this party.

In the spirit of the upcoming Olympics, Roger and Mariah would like to present: Synchronized Birthday Cheering!
Katie-Isn't it exciting! The first event of the evening and it's almost like they're doing it without any coaching! Just look at that enthusiasm!
Matt-I don't know though Katie. I think if Roger isn't careful he's going to get ahead of his Cheering partner Mariah there.

Katie- You might be right Matt, but look at them pull together here!
Matt- Much tighter. The judges will like that.

Katie- According to their mothers they've been practicing this together for weeks now!
Matt- And it shows! It takes a lot of practice to even blink at the exact same moment. It even looks like her uncle Galen is enthralled at their precision!

Katie- Oooh! Tough break! Looks like Roger's hands aren't quite as high as Mariah's.
Matt- The judges won't like that.

Kaity- What a routine!
Matt- And the judges agree! 8.5's across the board!

Alright I'm done with that now.

Why, EA? Why? Why can she not gain weight gradually?

And this is where Cyrus' heart was broken. Sorry for walls down shot. But don't feel too badly for him, he was engaged and married again the very next day. Then she died. The next day he got engaged again. And SHE died. Now you can feel bad for him.

RIP Phedra

Yeah, you know I didn't actually kill her. She had two tiny little -kids at home and Henry was barely a teen. I may like sim torture, but not like that. I actually have a hard time killing off the ones I love.

So Long. Farewell. You were much loved my dear.

Phedra (Pink)Dean- January 9th, 2012 until January 18th, 2013. She was preceded in death by her husband George Dean, and her mother Helen (Blue)Sixkiller. Phedra Dean is survived by her three sons- Henry and his wife Tiburcia, Edward, and Lee; by her brothers: Cyrus Pink-Imaga and Galen Sixkiller; and by her sister Layla Guerra, and 4 nieces. Funeral arrangements are being handled by The Jolina Family Mausoleum in Appaloosa Plains. 

Makin' Wind

This isn't a Sixkillers' blooper, it took place in another save. But it's too awesome not to share. In this other save I'd bought the family Bonehilda to save me time while I ran this particular family into the ground (No, this is not my Wishacy. They just also happen to have Bonehilda.) I also had bought this family lots of luxury items which a very bored, skeletal maid decided to take advantage of one day. The results are priceless. Take it away Boney!

If I concentrate on pushing all that wind out of my empty ribcage maybe I, too, can see what all the fuss is about.

*hic! *gasp! I did it!

What are you lookin' at?

Chapter 2.43 bloopers

A few bloopers to tide us all over as I work like mad to get things ready for the next chapter.

 

 

 

Ottawa and Ignacio's chosen convo spot made a lot of people really mad. Seems the sink was dirty and about half the people in the house were desperate to clean it. First one to throw a tantrum was poor little Roger. Pay attention to Roger. He's going to be around a lot. I luvs him.

Then Kristine (You don't have to pay her any actual attention. This will most likely be the only time we ever see her.) comes and pulls such a high pitched whine that Ottawa feels the need to mock her.

In the end Roger, Kristine, Raul, Lottie, Roosevelt, JJ, and Benji (JJ and Benji are Sally and Ottawa's other two boys) all threw routing tantrums in the background of the pics. I loled.


Then Sally started to throw a fit on me. It's about 10pm sims time, and since I'm just in this particular world to shoot I just used maxmotives on everyone and went about my business. Sally, however, was determined that it was her bedtime and nothing would keep her from going to bed. When I forced her to stay and be social for a final shoot she took it out on Layla.

"It's all because YOU are here that I'm not allowed to go to bed! It's my bedtime dammit! And it's MY house!"

"Oh, get over yourself bitch. All you have to do is sit there and talk to me. PFFfft. And it's only your house because my dad ran out. Otherwise this would be MY house."

Sally then stews on this info. Muttering and grumbling.

Ottawa- Geez. What did YOU do?
Layla- I'm simply the star she wishes she could be.
Sally- *grumbling mumbling*

Sally- MY house. MY BED! MY BEDTIME!
Ottawa- You should probably leave her alone. Really. I've seen her in these rages before. She's scary!
Layla- Oh pish. I can show you scary.

Sally- I'm tired! Leave me alone!
Layla- Suck it up.
Sally- I'll hurt you! Just watch!
Layla- You and what thought bubble? I've got 20 pounds on you. Bring it on.

Ottawa- Quit egging her on! You have no idea what she's capable of! And when you all leave she'll just take it out on me!
Sally- *steam pouring from ears. *flame shooting out of nostrils. Shut.Up.Ottawa!
Layla- Oh. I see what you mean. Guess we'll go now so you can deal with her.

I've never seen a sim looks so angry before! It was awesome. Love you Sally dear!

Evil Raul

So in game Raul was really mostly harmless. But when it came to the big parties (and the shooting scene) I needed to stage I decided to take Raul and a few other families and porter them to an empty AP where I could turn off weather and SP and anything else and use it purely for shooting those scenes. Almost the moment I get everyone settled I get this pop up:

 

If you can't read it, it says Enemies of Raul Guerra beware. There are dark tidings emanating from Raul's home, something might be brewing!

And then Layla gives me face. Great face. It's so awesome when the game decides my currently story line is really the way to go.

Derp Layla

Derp Layla. This was when she was trying to figure out which kid was which. She was so stressed by all the people around her eye had a nervous twitch, just like mine. lol

Buck's run in with Kaity Mattell

Have you read The Mattell Family Challenge? If you haven't you should. A few chapters ago Buck got a cameo appearance as out of character as could be and it was awesome!

She gave him a new outfit and hairstyle and a new attitude to boot. Then... she slapped him. Ha! So this is my commemorative image so I'll never forget just how awesome Buck really is!

Sorry this is a little behind getting published, but I'm a little behind. Ha!
