I don’t think my mother reads my blog, but just in case, Happy Birthday Mom!

~~~~~Sunday~~~~~

ARGHHH! Note to fellow cruel gods and goddesses, when attempted to starve a sim to death, don’t take another sim on vacation. When we got back home Hawthorn had gone from starving with about 24 hrs left to hungry. Blast, I just may end up killing him off quickly. Ginger’s not getting any younger.

All right Hawthorn, my lack of patience has granted you access to a swifter death. Let’s get this over with you poor guy. Imprisonment isn’t even bothering Hawthorn, not really. His only needs that are being affected are hygiene and hunger. He keeps himself entertained singing, and he makes tons of phone calls on his cellphone. That’s the first time I’ve seen a sim use their cellphone without my prompting, but that’s probably because I usually keep them to busy.

That’s it, just keep poking that fire…

I really am sorry Hawthorn, but you left me no choice.

Put that down, would you rather starve to death?

“IT BURNS!!!!”

“A fire trap? Did this brave soul deserve that?”

It was faster than starving.

Death dealt with Hawthorn too quickly for me to get a shot of his ghost, but I’m sure he’ll be back to haunt us soon.

Sometimes I wonder what my sims do and don’t notice. After all the mourning was over with Hellebore decided to paint this.

Lynn responded by burying himself in a book.

Hazel wasn’t given a choice about therapy, the garden needed weeding, and Timmothy decided to go sleep in a sarcophagus, but that’s not unusual. Poor Ginger was away at a game when it all went down, I’m pretty sure she’ll break down when she gets home.

“My poor baby….”

Hawthorn’s grave will remain on the family lot until the weekend, at which point someone will move it to the graveyard. The killing room stays until I know whether or not Hawthorn was the only person glitched.

“It’s all meaningless without Hawthorn. A parent shouldn’t outlive their child.”

I know, I know, I feel bad enough about it.

~~~~~Monday~~~~~

“Ugh, I don’t feel so good…”

Good job Timmothy. I’m surprised you did so well at work today, you and Hawthorn were pretty close.

I guess television really does turn you into a zombie.

“I guess Timmothy and I were a bit more life-affirming than I had thought!”

You are on a strictly watermelon diet from now on young lady.

Girls, girls, girls. The watermelons almost always work, but I have had it fail occasionally.

“Move it Timm!”

~~~~~Tuesday~~~~~

Look out! There’s a tornado loose in the house!

Lynn’s latest excuse to keep his butt glued to a chair? ‘Learn All Recipes’.

He accomplished it later in the week, but I forgot to take a picture.

Hazel’s getting in a bit of practice.

Lynn’s shopping trip for local recipes cost the family a small fortune, so he’s earning some of it back by signing autographs.

Wow! Autograph sessions are a lot of work, they’re not automatic folks, you have to hold the sim’s hand and tell him to give each individual his autograph. Still, Lynn made $3,200 in four hours, so it’s not too horrible. It only covered about a quarter of his shopping spree though.

~~~~~Wednesday~~~~~

Next up on Criminal Eye for the Legacy Guy: Timmothy Root wearing a sporty striped combo perfect for those late night B&E’s.

Have a good first day, don’t forget to get a promotion!

Hazel has been granted the knowledge to plant eggs and cheese. So far nobody’s ever gotten the opportunity to unlock the meat plants or the omni plant, but maybe she will.

As a reward I sent Hazel for a facial, doesn’t she look radiant?

“Hey, take a super-prego picture before I go to the hospital!”

I’ve got some of those at home in almost that exact same pose.

“Satisfied?”

Very. Would you like to work on painting, logic, gardening, or your relationship with your boss?

“All three.”

Logic it is then.

Way to go Lynn! Hellebore should get to eat Lobster Thermidor at least once in her life.

Yay! Triplets! Welcome to the family Ivy, Iris, and Immortelle.

Hazel, that is NOT how you feed a baby.

I almost forgot about poor Hellebore in all the excitement. In the end she got to work on her relationship with her boss and her logic.

Man are you guys going to have your hands full!

There’s a lot of middle of the night crying with triplets, but Ginger pitches in so that there’s less work.

~~~~~Thursday~~~~~

Lynn and Ginger manage to steal a moment together in the kitchen.

Someone was wondering about Ginger’s sparkle. I was curious about the eye candy reward and gave it to her, now she sparkles constantly. It’s actually kind of annoying.

Lynn’s turn to take care of the triplets. Hazel’s gardening, Ginger is making more nectar, Timmothy is sleeping, and Hellebore is at work.

Congratulations Hellebore! I know you don’t have any wants about it, but maybe now is a good time to start working on your charisma again?

“I’m done? I don’t have to listen to Ginger anymore?”

Yup, that’s it.

“We need donuts, how am I supposed to be a cop without donuts?”

There you are! No hard feelings right?

“Nah, you really did try to give me happily ever after. And you did take pity eventually and end it quickly.”

Just for that, I may let your ghost stay on the family property. And I’m going to tear down the killing room and hope we never need it again.

~~~~~Friday~~~~~

“It’s okay Princess, Daddy’s here.”

I am mildly concerned that Hawthorn will set his bed ablaze. By the way, fire ghosts? They’re a lot cooler looking when they’re animated than when they’re caught in a still.

Hazel maximized her gardening skill, but my autosave decided to kick in when I paused for the photo, so you get this one instead.

“That womman looks suspicious, I need to question her.”

Gah, not this again, although it does help build charisma and make friends, it’s still bloody annoying.

Even Hellebore gets roped into taking care of the insatiable trio.

~~~~~Saturday~~~~~

“Hey there boss, there’s this funny thing, funny as in strange not funny as in hah hah, where I didn’t get my promotion last night. My mother-in-law? The one working out behind us? She’s a black belt, if you get my drift.”

“I knew you’d see it my way.”

“Yes, well, your mother-in-law is quite scary.”

Wow! That’s a really good self-portrait. It should be considering how long it took me to set it up. I find the current setup for any sort of portrait difficult to handle.

As is normal with sim-babies, the triplets decided to have their birthdays immediately after soiling themselves.

Happy Birthday Iris!

Happy Birthday Immortelle!

“Along with Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard, and Rose, Helichrysum (proper name of Immortelle) ranks as one of the most ancient and valuable healing substances. It is said to heal physical and emotional scarring, opens the heart, connects body and spirit and opens human beings to spiritual life.”
