Sims 3 Tales: Interlude

July 28th, 2009

Thornton Wolff watched his wife stride angrily across the kitchen floor, her heels clicking in a sharp staccato. She rummaged around in the cabinets then slammed a coffee mug down onto cupboard so hard that he was surprised it didn't shatter. He sighed and shook his head in defeat.

Thornton: "Fine, Ana, I give up. I'm tired of fighting with you. If that's what you really want and it will make you happy, then… Yes, let's have a baby."

Morgana: "Oh, Thornton! Are you serious? Or are you just trying to get me to shut up."

Thornton: "You know me too well. But, yes, I'm serious."

Morgana: "Thorn. You know I want a baby more than anything in the world, but it's a big committment. You just can't say you want a baby now just to get me to stop nagging you."

Thornton: "I know. I'm still not one hundred percent sure about having a kid—I really don't think I'll make a good father—but I do want you to be happy. And if giving you a baby is what it takes, then that's what I'll do."

Thornton: "Besides, the 'making the baby' part is something I can whole-heartedly get into."

Morgana: "Mmm…I'm with you on that, but…"

Thornton: "Shhh, honey…quit talking."

A few moments later…

Morgana: "You're really sure about this?"

Thornton: "I have to say I'm surprised, Ana. I can't believe you're trying to talk me out of this, especially since I've finally agreed to give you what you want. But if you want to back out now—"

Morgana: "No! It's not that. It's just…if I get pregnant, there's no going back. If you change your mind, I won't have an abortion—not even for you."

Thornton: "You don't think I've already taken that into account?"

Morgana: "Oh, I'm sure you have. I bet you've even made a spreadsheet that tracks every future possibility of having a child."

Thornton: "See, you know me too well."

Morgana: "It's not very romantic though, is it?"

OK wait…wait…I have to go back and re-read. Thornton had an affair? How did I forget that? Old age perhaps or too many fried brain cells I guess. hehe

Laura did turn out pretty cute. She does look a lot like Thorn.

Gayl: Not to worry. You didn't miss anything! 🙂 I never mentioned it in the story itself (or rather Thornton didn't mention it). If you asked him, he wouldn't make the conscious connection between giving into Ana's desire for a baby and him feeling guilty for having an affair. He thinks he's made a purely selfless decision. 😮

And, yes, this is just a quick little story so plot holes abound! haha

The Sims 3 sims look better hairy than the Sims 2 ones, it seems. I've always avoided it because they look… disturbing. Not that I'm anti-hair on males! Quite the opposite, actually… but it just never looked right. These look a lot better, but every male having the EXACT same hair pattern would drive me bonky. And blonds having black body hair, LOL!

But I digress, Thorton Wolff is not a bad TS3 sim! His wife, however, leaves a lot to be desired, haha. I'm so mean. 😮 LOL at the spreadsheet thing. My husband is the type to do that… sigh.

I love the dislikes children sims! They are so funny when you force them to interact.

Mao: Yeah, I'm really liking the hairy look in Sims 3. Although, I wish not every sim had to have the same skin. I'd definitely love to have some variety.

And, yeah, I'm loving Thornton, but Morgana is kind of blah even after I gave her a make-over. I've got to get Thorn together with his mistress.

Oh, and it was so funny. I checked in on the Wolff family and discovered that Thorn had actually taken his daughter to the park. He had a negative moodlet for being around her and yet he took her of his own volition. Silly sim. He must be masochistic.

Whoa. Wait. So you actually have to DRIVE them to the hospital to have a baby. Jesus Christ, the realism is driving me crazy. Hm. So does that mean if you have the camera outside you can hear them screaming or something…
I dunno. Great update again. I've been having a crappy week and this made me laugh :D. It sounds like a real couple.
Once again: 'Tis awesome! 😛

Stephanie: I'm sorry that your week has been crappy, but I'm glad that I could at least bring a little humor to your week.

Actually, when your sim goes into labor, you get a pop-up asking if you want to have to baby at the hospital or at home. If you do it at home, it's pretty much like the Sims 2 (except for the little movie that would play). If you go to the hospital, then it's pretty much like when they go to work: they (the husband might come too) will go into the hospital rabbit hole for a while and then emerge with a baby. I didn't hear any screaming when I was waiting outside the hospital when Katriss gave birth. Thank goodness. haha

So what are you using to give the pre-made sims make-overs? Hmmm… because that would be an amazing thing to have. Yes yes.

I think it's cute that Thornton took his daughter to the park on his own, even though he didn't "want" to (the negative moodlet). It's kinda sweet, and a bit realistic. There are some parents who don't like spending a lot of quality time with their kids doing what their kid wants to do, but take them and squeeze through it just to make them smile. It's very honorable!

Stacey: I'm planning on that. I haven't been able to play at all this week unfortunately since it's been way too freakin' hot here (I'm afraid that I'll overheat my computer, so I've been turning it off in the afternoon). I'm going crazy without my computer.

Ju: Oh, yes. It's a must that I makeover the pre-mades. haha I use Awesomemod to do it. When the sim you want to make over is on the same lot as you, you do "ctrl-shift-C" to bring up the console, then type in "editsim [sim's name]" (without the quotes or brackets). That will pull the sim into CAS. There you can change anything you want about them. Well, almost anything. I've read that you shouldn't mess with their weight or age sliders or bad things might happen. You can also save the sim to your sim bin if you want to use them later. (Down by your sims portrait is a "…" button. Just click that and select "save to bin".)

And, yes, I was pleased to see that Thornton was being a good dad in spite of himself. haha

Lani: Yeah, the Sims 3 guys aren't as skinny…unless you want them to be (they have slider bars to chose their weight and musculature). I prefer guys that don't look like their going to blow away in a stiff breeze. haha

Glad you're enjoying the banner. 🙂 I think I have about 11 or so rotating pictures up there.
