Devivio 4 (R7)

When last we visited Kurt and his Atrociously Evil Witch wife, Brittany, Corey Sell was the unfortunate victim of the cow plant. The couple continued to advance in their careers and their first daughter, Tabitha, was born. How will Tabitha grow up in such a strange living environment?

**Sorry no loading screen pic for this house -- Whoops. Also supplemental material is on hold until I figure out how to make webs.com do what I want it to do**

When I left the lot last round both Kurt and Brittany were at work and the nanny was on the lot to take care of Tabitha... This is what I came back to at the beginning of this round

That was the nanny getting eaten by the cow plant. Luckily Brittany had arrived home moments earlier so Tabitha wouldn't get taken away by Social Services for being alone.

Kurt arrived home that day with a promotion

For some reason I didn't get the congratulatory top of career pop-up, but Kurt did reach Ecological Guru. Now hopefully he can find something in his desired career of Oceanography.

That evening it was time for Tabitha to grow up into a toddler... doesn't daddy Kurt look thrilled to be there ((lol lazy sims are silly))

And here is Miss Tabitha complete with Brooke Shields eyebrows

Here is Tabitha after a new hairstyle which I think complements her face a lot more than those fugly bangs

Tabitha Devivio - Scorpio

With one nice point it looks like she will be following in her mother's footsteps

The next day Brittany headed off to the Evil Witch fortress so she could gain more magical skill. She ended up skilling up to level 10 and wanted to play around with her new spells -- Vivificus Zombiae looked like fun. She chose the first of two of the cowplant's vicitims, Corey Sell.

Zombie Corey came with a Gold Sales Badge, this might come in handy when someone in town needs to hire an employee.

While Brittany was away raising the dead, Kurt got a start on teaching Tabitha her toddler skills

After Brittany had finished with her magics and made her throne of darkness, she returned home and headed off to work. That day, Brittany received a promotion

Zombie Corey, who is also in the military career track received a chance card

Corey also received a promotion

Here's a close-up of Brittany looking very stoic in her throne

((I'm not sure yellow is quite the right color for a witches sanctum...))

Time flies when you're zombi-fying people, soon it was time for Tabitha's transition into a child. Kurt looks a little more engaged this time.

And here's a close-up portrait, those eyebrows are actually pretty nice, I'm glad she grew into them

After her birthday party, Tabitha and her daddy played some catch and Tabitha found out that her OTH is sports

The next day, Brittany got a chance card that resulted in a promotion

To round out the week, Tabitha brought home her cousin Columbia on the bus. Columbia had more fun playing with her uncle Kurt though

At the end of the round, Kurt finishes teaching Tabitha how to study

Scoring: 1 point for Kurt reaching TOC Natural Science

Household Net-Worth: 53,132

((Well that wraps it up for the last Devivio house on the playlist. I was experimenting with Brittany's spells and was completely ignorant of zombies... I didn't know they didn't age like normal sims, so it looks like I'm stuck with zombie Corey for the rest of the challenge... unless the cowplant gate comes unlocked again... Oh well... that's one more creature toward the creature bonus. I'm not counting points for zombie Corey because of his indefinite lifespan just like Servos. The witch default skin replacement is "less obnoxious green" by Phaenoh at MTS2. It looks so much... well... less obnoxious :) We're off to visit Tia Eich next))

Devivio 3 (R7)

Last Round, Carla opened a flower shop in Bluewater to help her achieve her lifetime want of woohooing with 20 sims which she achieved. She then asked one of her 3 bolt matches, Connor Johnston (who was also her first conquest), to move in with her. Connor is a fortune sim with the lifetime want to get 6 pets to top of career -- unfortunately right after Connor moved in, Bonkers went to the big litter box in the sky. After Bonkers' passing they adopted a kitten named Snolanna and Connor took a job in the business field. Lets see if Carla has settled down into her new life.

**I installed custom skin and eye replacements a few days into this house to try them out -- so far I like them but I think I might change the skins. Details listed at the bottom of the entry, opinions are welcome**

**supplemental info is on hold until I figure out webs.com**

So I opened the lot to Carla jetting off to the bathroom and racked my brain to remember if they had tried for baby at the end of last round...

Connor had the want to adopt a kitten, so he adopted a male they named Sebastian (with the intent to breed him with Sno of course)

the kittehs seem to be getting along pretty well

Connor came home with his first promotion

When Carla got home from work that evening I found out that I did indeed have them try for baby at the end of last round

Connor was pretty happy to find out that he was going to be a daddy

He kept bringing home the promotions

That evening a burglar stopped by

Luckily I remembered to install a burglar alarm in this house

The police made quick work of her

When the officer was coming to issue Connor their reward, Bonkers also decided to say hi

The next day, Carla invited Pamela and Jack over for a family dinner and to introduce them to Connor

That evening, Carla went into labor

Baby Boy Gibson Devivio was born with red hair and violet eyes, just like his daddy ((instead of blue and light blue, I changed default blue to violet))

Here's the gratuitous shot of the Gibson playing with the baby toys from the Sims2Store

[insert ohhhhs and awwwws here]

The kittehs grew into cats and Carla, still on maternity leave, started teaching them tricks for their careers

Here's Sebastian - he got a job in the Service industry. Carla started teaching him his first trick

While Carla was teaching Sebastian how to shake, Connor got a chance card

Wow... a promotion from a hobby chance card

When Snolanna woke up from her nap she transitioned into a grown cat.

Carla found Sno a job in the Security career and started teaching her her first trick

With Connor home to take care of Gibson and the cats ready to start their new jobs, Carla headed off to the flower shop. While there, a reviewer came in. Carla got a Best-of-the-Best award yet the reviewer still wrote a negative review ((::boggle::))

One of her regular customers, Christy Stratton offered Carla a job in the education field. Since Gibson would be in school soon, Carla thought it would be a good idea if her hours corresponded to her son's instead of working nights at the ballet

During the short time she was at the shop, Carla managed to earn her Silver Register badge

Carla tidied up the landscaping before heading home for the evening. Eventually she planned to add an outdoor nursery and greenhouse to the shop

When Carla returned home she learned that Sebastian had already gotten his first promotion

At work the next day Connor got yet another favorable chance card

Connor continued to advance up the business career ladder

Carla continued training Sebastian as well

That evening it was time for Gibson to transition into a toddler

Gibson Devivio - Capricorn

(whoops, forgot to get a portrait)

Connor worked on potty training with Gibson, he was a very fast learner

Connor also started to teach Gibson how to talk

To round out the week, Connor got another chance card

And Carla got off to a good start in her new career by bringing home a promotion on the first day

She also brought home the current education minister, Kelly Teer, and shmoozed her for a bit hoping that it would help her climb the career ladder more quickly

Scoring: 1 point for baby Gibson

Household Net-Worth: 114,059

((So I totally forgot that I had Carla and Connor try for baby before I left the lot last round. Oh well, Carla didn't roll any of the baby-realted fears. I suppose her secondary knowledge makes her curious about babies anyway. Connor was smitten with having a son. This round was a lot of Cat training. Also, I have no idea how Carla managed to get a bad review yet still got a best-of-the-best award at the flower shop. To wrap up I'll leave you with a few random things that happened this round:

Beware of the two-tone townie with the bad fashion sense!

Seasons is great, but there is no way that lightning starts so many things on fire! I have at least one lightning-related fire per household per round... it's annoying

WTF Carla... seriously?

So we're off to visit Kurt Devivio and Brittany the atrociously evil witch next and see how their daughter Tabitha grows up.))
