Blu is irresistible!

This probably could have been in the "outtakes" section of the last post, but it was just so good that I wanted to give it it's own chapter.

While Blu and Ariel were hanging out in the parking lot on their date, during and after the making out but before the star gazing, they were approached by the bartender. I can't believe that I forgot to write down her name!

Anyway, she interrupted them, repeatedly, so that she could talk to Blu. And only Blu. Like Ariel wasn't even there!

She kept flirting with him and trying to kiss him! While his wife was standing right there!

He didn't go for it, luckily.

Eventually, she'd wander off and let them get back to their date.

Only to come right back and try to get Blu's attention again! And kiss him again! I swear, he kept getting the "be kissed" interaction and refusing it. I think it happened at least 6 or 7 times!

Screenshot-50

Eventually, Ariel decided that enough was enough and scolded him for it. It really wasn't his fault, though!

Screenshot-51

She really was obsessed with Blu for a while there!

Screenshot-52

He didn't actually discourage it much, though. I think he liked the attention!

Screenshot-53

Then my game crashed again and Blu and Ariel finally got to the star gazing that they'd been trying to do!

Gen 4 Chapter 46: Where was I?

You know, I could have sworn that we already had Yeti's birthday, but she's still a kid! With ages to go before her birthday!

Maybe I dreamed it?

Maybe I got stuck in one of those time loops?

Maybe I was abducted by aliens?

Well, whatever.

I noticed that Blu wasn't around so I went looking for him. Apparently, he got tired and decided to take a nap. Poor guy!

When he finally did show up the next day, he went straight to working out. I guess he must be stressed about work. He's been trying for a promotion and he really couldn't be in better shape! But he keeps working out anyway, usually trying to go for more and more hours. At least he looks good doing it

Screenshot-3

I tried to distract him by sculpting in my underwear in his line of sight. But then I distracted myself by making an elephant! It's so cute! And it earned me a promotion!

I'd almost forgotten that I was employed as a sculptor. I just do it for fun!

Since I'm not going to teach Snow to talk or anything, I figured I'd teach her something useful like music! It was really fun playing with her. I wonder why I never played with Yeti or Bumble.

Later, Blu finally realized that I was in my underwear so he invited me out on a date. He'd been wanting to try out the new bar in town. When we got there, he went over and made himself a drink!  I thought they made them for you when you went to bars, but I guess I must be wrong.

Screenshot-38

I didn't feel like drinking so I worked out instead. It was kind of fun! I've never exercised anywhere other than at home and at the gym. I didn't even know they let you do that in bars!

Screenshot-39

After I worked up a sweat, I wanted to play some games. I couldn't find Blu anywhere, but this nice man agreed to play with me. I forget what his name is. But then, I forget lots of stuff. I remember that I won, though!

Screenshot-43

I finally found Blu and convinced him to get started on the romantic part of our date. We stood out in the parking lot making out like teenagers.

Screenshot-45

When we finally took a break, hours had passed. It was dark and the stars were so bright that we decided to sit and watch them for awhile. I didn't even mind that we were sitting in the dusty parking lot of a dive bar! Blu sure knows how to show a girl a good time.

A/N: So here's where I recovered my files from the old dead computer. For whatever reason, all of my save files were from 4 sim-days before Yeti's birthday even though I'd played and saved much closer than that. Oh well, we'll just have to wait for her to age up again!

Also, my game kept crashing while Blu and Ariel were standing in the parking lot of the bar. Interestingly, all they wanted to do over and over again was make out! So that's what they did. Over and over again.



Outtakes!

This is a cute picture, but I forgot to put the walls up and there's a toilet in the background.

When Ariel couldn't find Blu at the bar... he was sleeping again!

Gen 4 Chapter 45: Almost a woman

A/N: It's been awhile since I've posted a regular chapter! My game is still flakey, but I'm pushing through as best I can to get Yeti aged up. Then I plan on binning them and starting a fresh game. Hopefully, whatever problem I'm having is part of the save file I rescued from the dead computer. Ariel's LTW will suffer for it, but I'm still counting her as successful since she's definitely adopted enough cats in her lifetime to meet the requirements!

***************

So life has been a little crazy! I feel like I'm losing time again, but then, when I look around, everything is kind of the same.

But not exactly the same.

I wonder if this happens to everyone?

Sculpting is my outlet. Things are very predictable with sculpting!

Screenshot-3

BOB continues to be the best. I wonder if Dad knew how much Blu and I would need help when we had kids and that's why he brought BOB home. I'll bet he did. Dad was super smart like that.

Screenshot-8

Yeti finally came home from her fishing trip! She didn't come inside, though. She stayed in the yard and did her homework.

She's so responsible!

Screenshot-10

Snow loves to hide. I wonder if that's something that I should worry about.

Screenshot-12

It's hard to be worried when I'm sculpting, though. I'm very focused! It's all that I want to do!

Screenshot-15

Eventually, I have to do actual grown-up things, though. Like putting toddlers to bed.

Screenshot-18

And reading bedtime stories.

Screenshot-28

And interacting with my husband. Blu and I are getting along quite well these days. Probably because we eat a lot of cake. Cake makes everything better! Plus, Blu is nice to look at. I sneak peeks at him all the time. I should probably pay more attention to what he's saying, though.

Screenshot-31

BOB is so good with the kids! I worry sometimes, though, that he's staring at me a little too much. I mean, I know I look good but I'm like a sister to him or something, right?

Screenshot-38

And, look! Bumble is still around! I was wondering what he was up to.

Anyway, Yeti was going to have a birthday and we were all very excited. I don't think I should be old enough to be the mother of a teen, though.

Screenshot-39

She doesn't look too sure about it, either.

*******
A/N (part 2!): This was where the game crashed for the last time on the old computer. I decided to go ahead and post this, but I'm still not sure how I'm going to explain away the fact that Yeti doesn't age for a few more days again. Plus, everyone looks slightly different because all of my custom content is gone. Hmmm...


Outtakes!

Is it just me, or does it look like BOB is about to eat Snow?

No, Wesker! Not the gnome!!!
Screenshot-21


BOB autonomously teaches Snow to walk while Ariel and Blu make out. Those two really shouldn't be parents!
Screenshot-36


Yeti's slob trait came out just before I took this picture... she dug that plate out of the trash and licked it! Ewwwww!
Screenshot-37


Back off, Bumble!

Ariel glitched during the birthday party, just before the big crash... she wouldn't stop laughing at her daughter!
