Gen 4 Chapter 47: We moved?

You know, I could get used to this not knowing what's going on thing... especially if it means that I get to wake up in a brand new house!

I love the new house. It's just the right size for all of us and it's so pretty.

Plus, there's a flock of flamingos on the lawn! And it's near Sebastian and Puzzle and Nemo and Margo!

Life is pretty good!

I wonder where the kids are.

BOB has been inspired by the move, too. He's decided to rejoin his music career. You may remember that he got fired from it last time because he missed work too much. He was too busy taking care of the babies! He's such a good metal nanny.

Since Yeti and Bumble are practically raising themselves now and Snow is getting so big, he thought now was a good time to stick his toe back into music.

Blu and I don't own the gym anymore. I'm not sure why. I think it had something to do with moving to the new house.

Either way, we still love to work out together!

I've finally won Blu over on the evils of water, too! It took years, but I think he's finally cured of whatever fascination he used to have with it. I have no idea what the appeal is to people, really.

I rewarded Blu for coming to his senses by complimenting his muscles. I love his muscles. So does he!

It's good that we're so compatible.

I really think that this house is going to work out well for us!

But I do wonder where the children are. I suppose they've gone off to school?

I tried to watch a little TV, but BOB was kind of hovering. I enjoy his company and all, but sometimes I worry that he's a little too attached. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

At least he's taking good care of Snow so that I don't have to!

I decided to spend time with Blu instead. I'm getting so good at sculpting that now I'm allowed to sculpt statues of actually people! I don't know who makes those rules, I could have totally made statues before, but I was so excited to have Blu as my first subject!

Screenshot-203

I'm good!

I think I captured his physique perfectly!

It's probably because I'm so familiar with it.

I celebrated my success by doing more "research" on the subject of Blu's muscles. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

Later, I moved Blu's statue into place. Doesn't he look fantastic commanding a flock of flamingos?!?!

*****
A/N: Fairly short one, but I wanted to get the chapter out there. I have a bunch of pics ready to upload, if I ever get around to it! I'm kind of excited for school to start for that very reason...

By the way, what do we think of the Sims 4?







Outtakes!

BOB likes Blu well enough but he kind of wants him to go away.

BOB and Ariel weren't talking or anything, but he plussed at her as soon as Blu left the room! BOB definitely has ulterior motives here.

I dropped Sebastian's family into the new game file, too. This is the hair that the game gave him to replace is fantastic (Charles') hair since I dumped all custom content. Puzzle's reaction about sums it up.

I don't think that Sebastian likes it, either!

That's better. A little, anyway. I still miss the Charles' hair.

New house!

So I binned the Hodgins in an attempt to stop the frequent game crashing. (I also binned Sebastian, Puzzle, Nemo and Margo so that they could come back, too!)

The verdict is still out on whether or not this will actually stop the problem since I really have no idea what is causing the problem. It only affects this one game!

Anyway, I decided to move the whole family into the house across the street from Sebastian and family. It suits Ariel better, I think.

There's a lot of animal stuff scattered around the house, which Ariel loves. There's also this greenhouse looking hot house, perfect for reptiles!

Screenshot-104

But it was the flock of flamingos on the front yard that sold me on the place. It just seems like something that Ariel would want.

So here's the first floor. The bedroom in the bottom left corner is for BOB, but he has to share it with Bonehilda. I put the girls in the one on the upper right and Bumble gets his own room on the upper left.

Also, Ariel's sculpting station is in the front yard.

Upstairs is the master suite.

I installed Blu's exercise equipment on the side yard and the small back porch fits all of the required kitty stuff for Ariel's adoptees.

The new neighborhood. Hopefully, it will be good to the Hodgins!
