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!

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.

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!

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

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

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

And reading bedtime stories.

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.

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?

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.

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!!!

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

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

Back off, Bumble!

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

  1. It's so nice to see Ariel and her family again - I missed them, especially the kids :)

    How could you stop right BEFORE Yeti's birthday, that is just mean. Even though you will start right after Yeti aged up (aged to teen or to YA?), you should at least have shown us a picture... :( Oh wells, we will just have to wait.

    Good luck for the new start with the family....!

    1. I tried to get a picture of teen Yeti! But my game crashed before I took it! And I haven't made it to her birthday in my restored game yet! This game is driving me nuts.

  2. This was such a delightfully Ariel post. And you can justify anything, including Yeti having a repeat of her birthday, from Ariel's quirky point of view.

    Yeti fished a plate out of the TRASH! Good heavens. I didn't know they could do that. Slobs are scary -- but I find them terribly entertaining.

    Yeti really got Blu's face. That profile shot during her birthday really shows it off.

    BTW: It just occurred to me that I don't know what A/N stands for.

    1. Having Ariel narrating this incredibly glitchy generation is very handy. It's going to be interesting to see how she takes the deja vu of Yeti and everything else!

      I had no idea that they'd take food out of the trash either. I was in such shock that I didn't even get a picture of it!

  3. Talk about the most inappropriate crush ever ... although, considering that BOB is practically the kids father, its easy to see how he might have gotten confused. I don't think Blu has anything to worry about though. Ariel is clearly obsessed with him still.

    And you're right. Cake is the cure for everything ... well, that or Cadbury's chocolate.

    1. BOB alternates between sweet and creepy... not as creepy as Puzzle, but getting there! So far, Ariel has not reciprocated but I still worry about it. Luckily, Blu and Ariel were over their rough patch before BOB became fixated on her.
