Coven Challenge: Take Two, Part Two

The first thing a simmer should do, upon having a baby, is remodel (if they have been too lazy to do so beforehand). With the money that Lestat made painting and Tiara made as a Paranormal Investigator, they were able to add a nursery and two rooms for future fledglings.

Gloria was the first fledgling to be added. As a human, she fended for herself, occasionally offering blood to the founders. Tiara tended to ignore her presence.

Gloria soon succumbs to the vampire virus. Like Tiara, she does not look pleased.

Lestat is also not pleased, but very much concerned. Gloria seemed to think that as a vampire, she had the right to try to tempt him. Uppity fledglings. 

Little Hecate inherited her father's coloring and her mother's piercing gaze. She grew into quite the attractive toddler, but those eyes were uncanny.

This was about the time that I lost interest in this challenge, though I stuck around to see how Hecate looked as a child. I was not disappointed; I don't think I've ever had such a beautiful Sim child.

Like her mother, she has a princess complex. No frilly pink dresses for her, though.

She also channels a little bit of the diva. Only the heir to the coven could get away with that sort of attitude. As you can see, Lestat is... unconcerned. And muscular.

Ok, that's going to give me nightmares. Creepy.

And thus ends the saga of Lestat DelaSangre. He did not turn the town, but at least he can live forever with a beautiful wife, a faithful (and lusty) servant, and a daughter who appears to be a vampire goddess in the making.

Perhaps I'll return to her in the future. 

Coven Challenge: Take Two

Meet Lestat DelaSangre, the founder of my vampire coven...or at least my second attempt at the coven challenge. He is a criminal. He is also not nice.

As in, "hide your grandma" not nice. She appears quite unconcerned. He did make for a rather nice-looking vamp, I will give him that.

When looking for the woman who is going to be the mother of your entire race, go to the nearest nightclub and pick out the diva. Sex kittens, vixens, and hot babes make the best mothers. The woman seriously does have a princess complex- her name is even Tiara.

Somehow he manages to convince her to become his wife. Personally, I think it was that smoldering look he's giving her. Her lingerie even matches the family colors!

Being new to this lifestyle, Tiara breaks rule #1: never tell the victim exactly what you plan to do with them. (Notice, she is pregnant but not yet a vampire.) Lestat is unconcerned. He knows that his lips on her wrist is the most action the old broad's gotten in a long time. She's not going anywhere.

This is Lestat's concerned face, for those who were curious. Tiara is either taking it like a champ or completely unaware of what's happening. I never knew with her.

Unfortunately, the baby is born human, which is unacceptable to a vampire founder such as Lestat. (Note: ensure the woman is a vampire BEFORE you knock her up). So they snuggle in bed until the baby is finally taken by the social worker. I told you: not nice.

And to drive the point home: not nice.

Tiara doesn't look entirely happy to join the undead. Perhaps she is feeling remorseful for the child she lost, knowing that soon she will be giving birth to vampire children. 

She decided to punish herself by wearing a truly awful maternity gown. Although, it appears that this time she is aware that she is giving birth. She still looks completely surprised that it's happening. 

A little girl, Hecate DelaSangre, is born. Lestat is unconcerned.

Snanger Danger (with a heavy dose of distraction)

Is this a challenge? No. Do I care? No. Was it challenging not to throw my computer out the window when it crashed my game about a year ago and I lost these beautiful Sims (and most of their screenshots)? Yes. Quite. 

I was just as shocked as Harry to discover who had taken over my game when I was distracted from the Vampire Coven challenge... perhaps more shocked, as I never expected to see Harry as the consignment store clerk... or in a western get-up. And that, dear readers, is why you turn story progression off.

Fortunately, Mr. Potter was quickly distracted by another customer.

Guess who's clocking out early?

Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Snanger Danger occurred in the least expected place ever: the gym. I don't think I have ever seen that in a fanfiction, so congratulations to my Sims for their originality.

However, like most fanfictions, things started to occur alarmingly fast and out of character. Hermione rushed to tell her best friend, Ginny, of her unexpected crush on Severus Snape.

She was not impressed with what Ginny had to say about this startling development. That, and I thought this face was incredibly cute.

So she does what all self-respecting and intelligent woman do when their best friend says "WTF are you thinking?!?!?!?! That's a HORRIBLE idea!" - she rushes off to sleep with the guy. So while I give it a 9 out of 10 for an original meeting concept (1 point off for the improbability of Snape at a gym, but what fanfiction is concerned with improbabilities?), I have to give it a 3 out of 10 for conclusion. Although I think I actually just lost all the plot development screenshots (because I know they dated a while)... oh well. At least it flows like a fanfic. 

Aaaand here's Uncle Siri with his best friend's baby (GAH my Tonks was so awesome and I have no photos of her). So I get an 8 out of 10 for not losing interest after the sex scene. :) Even if it is completely unrelated.

The Challenge with Challenges

No, really, I do have an issue with challenges. Several, in fact. If a challenge is too short, I cheat. If a challenge is too long, I get distracted. And if a challenge is just too interesting, my computer decides to crash my game (or commit computer suicide).

I have started challenges. I have created challenges. I have never, ever finished a challenge.

I always figured I would start a blog on the day I finished a challenge so I could document my Legacy/Black Widow/etc, but I have finally taken that age old advice: there's no time like the present. So if you are a Sheldon Cooper and everything must be properly concluded, this is not the blog for you. But if you are like me, and a Legacy is only interesting for about the first five generations... you're in luck.

I don't think I've ever hit five generations.


Happy Reading!
