Silly sims

[dicreasy2]

I've not really had chance to play the last week, but today, once I'd finished doing some boring RL bits, I decided to fire up the game and see if I can get at least one of the weddings I need for the next chapter played and shot.  Simple right?

Err, no.  My sims had other ideas.

First up...



Stanley I swear to God that if this back rub had of resulted in floating hearts, I would have bloody well smited you, whether I am meant to have those powers or not.

Next...



"You forgot to change my formalwear!"

Damn, yes I did. 

A quick x-ing out of the marriage interaction, making Doc selectable and changing her formalwear later, and I was ready to go again.



Only no one seemed to care.  *sigh*  A lot of making selectable and x-ing out actions ensued.



I am so going to have to download one of the hacks that stop the M&G sun interactions.  Sims bask in the sun even when doing something else making them appear to be posessed. 

Of course some other sims had better things to do than watch the ceremony.




"Can't see, Papa's in the way." 

"Yes, but he's nummy when he is blocking your view."



"Nummy...."




Ouch, poor Stuart (yes he is now a child) and Andrew managed to impale themselves on the chairs



Aaaand Carmen found that nothing was blocking her way.

Once inside Peter sought out Stanley.



This is very common, all the kids adore Stanley and seek him out to speak to.  I dread to think what he talks to them about.

Oh and while Peter was talking to Stanley, I noticed something:



I had an invisible piano player.  A search of the house revealed that everyone was accounted for, so I have no idea what this was about.



Stanley was happy to take the money though.

If you remember a while back I posted how Stanley wasn't happy about how Louisa and Cyd were romantically invloved.  Well, neither is Rosie.



She was fine at the ceremony, but as soon as she saw this, well all hell broke loose.





Four times I caught her doing this, before I managed to get Louisa there to say goodbye to Rosie.  I really am going to have to go through her memories and friends and see if I can find out what this is about.

Mind you, when I saw Cyd do this, I wondered if a certain simself would have a go at him.



Speak of the devil.



Yup these two are still incredibly stalkery.

Well that's it for now.  Louisa and Cyd are married and she is pregnant already.  I have 3 more weddings to get through before I'm in the main house to get the last few bits I need for the chapter there.  IOh and I have to shoot a few things on a couple more lots, but I am getting there, honest.

Oooh, is that what all this rolling eye business is about? Basking? I see! I'm quite a fan of the coming-outside-action ones (except when they do them when running when I'm trying take pictures grr) but I didn't know about the basking. Oh well, it made for good plague pictures!

What a wedding, eh? But fun to read about :D Glad you got there eventually Di! Good luck with the rest.

Oh god I hate basking so much, there's a hack that stops that? That and that stupid putting their hand over their eyes whilst walking outside.

Of course kids love kooky uncle Stanley! Kooky uncle Stanley teaches them tricks on picking up ladies.

Stuart is an adorable kid, I can.. vaguely spot the differences between him and his brother, but I actually had to read the text to know it was him for sure. Yay for stompinating the witches genes!

This was hilarious to read, but I'm sure it was aggravating as h--- to shoot. But thanks for sharing with you. I hope the other two weddings work out better. If you find that hack, please let me borrow it. I've noticed my sims doing the same and wondered if it was the game or their cc eyes.

Hee! I have no idea what's going on, but it's nice to see Stalkery SimNerd and Nummy Theo!

Don't you just love having guests show up to the wedding in their wedding gowns? It's not as bad when a guy shows up in his wedding tux, but it's really hard to miss the unexpected wedding gown. Thank goodness for the clothing hacks that let you change stuff.

Wedding can be a real bear to shoot. Sims rarely seem to want to do what you want them to do. The reception can be easy enough because you're just letting them have fun and hang out, but the ceremony... rar.

Don't smite Stanley! My simself would be sad. :)

Oh, I always have Sims show up at weddings in their wedding gowns. I used to have two or three in wedding gowns at a time. Now I go around to every house and make sure *everybody* has formalwear I approve of, instead of one of those hideous suits or rather nice Far East stuff that sticks out like a sore thumb. Love the somewhat scandalous thing you changed Doc into.

I always have problems with Sims refusing to sit down during weddings. I decided to let Ruby marry Killick again, and I swear to gosh Nelson and Emerald "watched" from the garage. And applauded.

Poor Cyd! What did he ever do?
