Jayeless’ Sims

I’m having yet more problems with my game crashing intolerably often, I’m afraid :( I’m starting to think I might have to reinstall, because it’s literally at the point where I’m playing the same events three times over before I can get the save function to work instead of crash. GAH.

Last time: Billie gave birth to twin girls, Delta and India. Josh continued his Serial Romantic ways, including through the putting of moves on his sister-in-law Billie, and fathering a child (or two?) with his girlfriend Elsa Bjergsen. Ella became an Evil Young Adult. We continue…

In pursuit of her Joke Star aspiration, Ella joins the Entertainment career.

Celebrating Ella’s milestone, she and Josh hit the town. In literally no time at all, Josh has a new target in his sights. Ella… seems less sure what they’re even doing here.

Things progress quite easily with Katelynn here.

SHE IS EVEN MARRIED!! goddamn it

You’d think that Jade Rosa’s sudden arrival would make things awkward… but nope. She didn’t even care.

With a very misleading introductory line about muscles…

Josh plants a kiss on a very surprised-looking Katelynn!

Then has a good giggle about underpants because he’s clearly having a moment.

I’d honestly been leaving Ella to her own devices, and found her here… talking to Alexander Goth the bartender.

While Josh enjoyed making progress towards his aspiration convincing Katelynn to kiss him, there was really someone else playing on his mind.

So, since Katelynn ditched him to hit the main dancefloor anyway, Josh made his way to where he knew Candy would be.

She didn’t take much convincing to lure into this wardrobe.

And it seems that a good time was had by all!

Meanwhile… Josh’s latest kiss-conquest has just adopted a baby. While still at the club. Hmm.

Aaaaand apparently having had his fill of Candy, Josh wants to turn his attention to another of his paramours :|

So, I have to admit that I’ve been paying no attention to what Ella’s been doing, but this looks to be Not Good.

Meanwhile… things are gettin’ real awkward on the dance floor.

(Not really. Candy and Jade were perfectly chill with each other, although to be fair, Josh wasn’t chancing any romance interactions.)

goddamn it son

I think Wolfgang was hoping he could hook up with whoever Josh left aside seeing as there are tragically no threesomes in this game, but Candy deflects nicely.

I had to send Ella home because she was too tired to keep on going. Also, the only thing she achieved all night was a boring conversation with Alexander Goth :|

Anyway, Josh was able to tempt Jade downstairs for some alone time.

And soon enough, he was able to get his wish.

I think they enjoyed themselves.

After that, Josh needed a sneaky little Disco Nap to regain some energy.

But by the time he woke up (at 5am), the nightclub was ABANDONED!! What kind of lame-o losers are these that they’re not still partying at 5am?!

India insisted on greeting Josh when he came home. I really mean INSISTED. I could not cancel the interaction.

Have some random toddler cuteness, because I haven’t been posting that much of them :(

So India (right)’s toddler trait officially is Inquisitive, but really it should be Silly. Cos believe me she is SILLY.

You suck, India.

Her hunger was even in the red already :(

She played with her second bowl of cereal, too.

So uh… India was upset about her mum going to work… so I tried to get Claire to comfort her.

REJECTED. Like seriously India, who rejects comfort?!

She had a whim to dance, but BOY did it not make her any happier.

Of course you would say that, new leader of the Teen Hangout Club

Claire decides to help in the learning of her favourite great-grandchild, i.e. the one who doesn’t reject her

Ella is getting the hang of being evil. Some casual yelling at her mum here.

omfg this cracked me up… Josh was taking a casual jog at the park, jogged past these two ladies, then promptly did a U-turn and jogged after them. classic Josh

Anyway, Penny Pizzazz was up for a little romance.

I think he’s now had five first kisses? Only five more until he achieves the next level of this aspiration!

Obviously the twins are wide awake again when Josh returns from the park, despite having been asleep and VERY tired when he left :(

When Josh did get home, he found Billie standing outside, feeling tense because Arnold wasn’t home.

Josh: That must be so hard for you. I’m sorry to hear he’s neglecting you this way.

The tone of their conversation turned flirtatious.

But then Josh couldn’t handle it and started mocking her.

Sort out your feelings, man.

He took my advice and decided to process his feelings through the medium of the paint. He has zero painting skill whatsoever but he’s sure that this will work out anyway somehow.

This was Josh’s final product… #youtried

Elsa Bjergsen casually walked past the house, definitely somewhat pregnant.

Arnold apologises to Billie for not being home.

Notice Claire laughing her arse off at Arnold and Billie’s efforts to be romantic together. why are you even still alive

Arnold had this whim to try for a baby with Billie… well, they tried, but they failed.

Actually the first time I played this they succeeded WITH TWINS, but then my game crashed so they had to try again and failed :(

Oh the contrast between these two.

India = tossing the contents of her sandwich everywhere
Delta = eating calmly and quietly because she has manners

India saw Julian’s ghost and immediately rolled a whim to Talk to a Stranger, lol.

Look at that cheeky grin.

Julian looks less than thrilled. For now.

India: ME NO WANNA GO POTTY

Julian: You know, I heard that dragons NEVER have to go potty.
India: I WILL BE DRAGON 8D

Julian: What’s the matter, kiddo?
India: I wanted dance. But then. Did NOT want dance.

Seriously, this kid keeps rolling whims to dance but dancing keeps giving her Sad moodlets :|

Luckily great-gramps Julian knows how to cheer India up.

Delta seems to be jealous or something…

India: Hmmm… I wonder why Delta is sad?

Josh woke up the next morning to find Siobhan Fyres using his personal computer.

?!?

To Josh this was very confusing, but far be it from him to look a gift horse in the mouth. He began to flirt.

Then Josh thought he could impress her with some goofy dance moves. Meanwhile Morgan strove to be an obstacle to the burgeoning affection between her son and her alternate-universe sister.

(I do stress ALTERNATE UNIVERSE… that makes it ok right?)

At least Siobhan seems impressed.

Josh, by the way, is pouting because he reckons he pulled a muscle during his ten-second jog at the park yesterday. What a big baby.

Kiss #6!

Gen. 4 sitting down for brunch together! Whatever Josh is saying, Ella is really sceptical about it.

THANK FUCK

Just before Arnold goes to work, he and Billie try again for another baby.

This time they succeed!

As I mentioned this was just before Arnold went to work though… so Billie had to share this exciting moment with Josh, instead.

India, meanwhile, is still struggling with the concept of “when you’re hungry, you should eat your food instead of tossing it all over the floor and then bitching that you need more food”.

Evil Aunt Ella: Atta girl, India! Throw that food! Maximum havoc!
India: you da best 8D

In the home gym, Josh presses his advantage with Billie.

After every interaction though, he pulls a pose like this one with his hands on his hips as if he’s hot shit. tbh if I were Billie I would find that kind of arrogance a big turn-off.

Meanwhile, clicking on India is giving no “Let Out” options whatsoever, so I guess she’s just doomed to be stuck in the high chair forever.

India: I NO WANNA SIT HERE FOREVER!!!!

Fear not, India! Eventually I was able to find “Pick Up” and free you from that chair.

The toddlers celebrate with this cute little hug.

Well. Good luck with this one.

To be fair, they WERE having a grand old time chatting.

But then I had him try to embrace her, and he got REJECTED.

Luckily, Josh is a master of defusing awkward situations.

Josh: Look at me, I’m your mean old husband! I’m always at work and never at home! *blows raspberry*
Billie: *cracks up*

WHY DO YOU POSE LIKE THIS, JOSH. CLEARLY YOU’RE NOT ACTUALLY HOT SHIT WHEN YOU KEEP GETTING REJECTED.

Unless…

Billie: Gosh, Josh, I know I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I have nowhere else to turn. Things with your brother have just been leaving me empty, lately. It’s like when we finally get into bed he just… wilts.
Josh: *gasps sympathetically*

BILLIE… I AM SHOCKED! not really that shocked

Gotta love India whispering conspiratorally to her sister about steam trains. Like… what is the conspiracy here. I don’t get it.

Finally! All that sexual tension has led to something!

Billie is so relieved by this that she actually started cheering.

She even allows him to embrace her now. It’s a Halloween miracle!

Uhhhh Jade… this is not exactly, you know, the best time…

Josh suggests that they take this conversation to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, India is yanking pots and pans out of the kitchen cupboards and playing with them, because she has the hidden Little Bugger trait.

Billie: Ha-ha! I’m my mean old husband, and I would really not approve of what’s taking place in this bedroom!

He certainly would not.

Can you take a chill pill for a minute? Seriously.

At about 8:45pm Josh and Billie had to madly scramble to take some Cold Showers, and at 9pm Arnold came home from work with a promotion. This mass of muscle and mean spirits is now a Rookie!

Installed some street lights outside and Billie achieved this! Pretty neat seeing as I hadn’t thought about that at all.

Billie does a pretty good job of pretending to Arnold that everything is normal.

She then shares the good news that they have more children (or at least one) on the way. Arnold smiles, cautiously optimistic.
