Imprismed Part 3.1 - Generation Red
- 2. Welcome back to Imprismed and the Geebiv family. We’re now following generation three, the red generation. We’ve finally got a bit of color in the family, and the presentation.
- 3. Our update begins with Obsidian and Demi’s elder transition. A party was held and all their closest friends were there.
- 4. Demi aged gracefully and made her way to the chess table to build more logic. She still hasn’t reached the top of her career as City Planner, which is her LTW. She’s close though.
- 5. Obsidian didn’t fare too badly either.
- 6. Scarlett spent the next few days building up a few more skills for those last scholarships.
- 7. One last night at the telescope, near her grandfather’s grave, gave her what she needed for a respectable list. She didn’t earn quite as many as her father, but she had enough.
- 8. She made the call and said goodbye to her family.
- 9. Then she was on her way.
- 10. I turned on the special event camera because I wanted to see who dropped her off at college. It was Demi. I love that animation.
- 11. The outfit she grew up into was a problem, so she took a quick trip to campus to find something more suitable.
- 12. This dress seems to suit her better. Her LTW is to be a Rock God, which I’ll try to fulfill, but I see her more as a sultry Jazz singer.
- 13. She kind of reminds me of Molly Ringwald. I still think she’s pretty in an unusual way.
- 14. Back at the dorm, she customized her room and got to work on her first term paper.
- 15. She also got acquainted with her dorm mates, none of whom she had any attraction to.
- 16. So, it was another trip to community lots to see if there was someone she might like. The good witch’s arrival lit up the place. Another animation I love for the picture it creates. It’s so pretty.
- 17. I had Scarlett greet the witch and chat for a bit to get her as a contact. I’m not sure she’ll do anything with it, but it’s nice to have.
- 18. Scarlett played some pool and went to class while she was on campus.
- 19. She met several people there as well, but still no one she had any bolts with. Not even one bolt. It was all either negative or nothing. More contacts for her friend list though. Having no luck on campus, I sent her downtown to see what might happen.
- 20. At Lucky’s, she met up with Gilbert Jacquet, who happened to be a family friend of her parents. Actually, I think he’s been around since Roy.
- 21. She greeted him like the old friend he is.
- 22. And then some. She likes him, she really likes him. Gilbert is the first two bolter she’s had.
- 23. I’m a little unsure because he’s a playable, even though I’ve never played him. He’s also been firmly entrenched in my head as one half of Cassbert of the Vetinari Dualegacy where he is madly in love with a troubled half-alien.
- 24. But, look at her face. If that doesn’t say, “Please? I want this one. Can I have him, please?” I don’t know what does. *Sigh* We’ll roll with it and see what happens. It is early in her college career. She might find someone else.
- 25. Apparently Gilbert is quite enamored of her as well. This might be a match.
- 26. Scarlett finished out her semester and the rest of her freshman year in the dorm in a pretty uneventful manner. Term papers, class and parties were the order of most days. At the end of the year, she moved to Kaleidoscope House.
- 27. Back at the main house, Demi finally topped her career and became permaplat.
- 28. Carmine continued to attend school, build skills and bring friends home. One of whom was Joe Grundstrom. Joe has a bad reputation in another ‘verse (A Victorian Legacy), but here he’s been pretty harmless.
- 29. Mini recipe for disaster: 1. While Carmine is gaining logic skill on the telescope in the yard, notice that Roy’s grave has gone missing. 2. Cross fingers and hope that a stray has destroyed it, even though you’ve never heard of that happening. It could be a possibility. 3. Check the interwebz to find out that it could mean borked character files. 4. Get bone phone and try to resurrect Roy only to find he isn’t available as an option, confirming that his character file is likely borked. 5. Cross fingers and hope that the neighborhood doesn’t implode in the near future.
- 30. After the brief panic over Roy’s grave, the rotation played out and Carmine left for college. I have a back-up of the neighborhood, but it’s rather old. I don’t know if creating another back- up will be worth it. If the character file is borked, it will be borked in a backed-up version as well. I’m just hoping I finish before an all out melt-down so I won’t have to rebuild.
- 31. At Kaleidoscope House, Scarlett made her first booty call to Gilbert and he rushed right over. I went to his lot and played him for a day so I could give him a bit of a makeover and also because I’ve heard that if you don’t, he’ll always be working when sims try to call him.
- 32. Scarlett’s enthusiastic greeting was enough for both of them to fall in love with each other.
- 33. The woohoo was just the proverbial icing on the cake.
- 34. Scarlett’s addition to Kaleidoscope House was a game room off the back. The rules for decorating the sorority house are a little different from the main house. Each generation attending university can add or remodel a room in their color. They also have to change at least four panels of the exterior to their color. One room must remain in the color of previous generations so at the end, there will be one black room, one red room, one orange room, one yellow room, etc.
- 35. You might recognize the College Ho’s. They are both members of Kaleidoscope House. My original intention was to be able to get the next heir, Scarlett, in the sorority easily. It worked, but had rather nasty consequences, as evidenced in Part Two. However, I have plans for these ladies. Muwhahahaha.
- 36. Meet Aiden Johnson. He is also a member of the house. He is also a factor in these nefarious plans. I actually really like this sim and have used him in his many incarnations in various neighborhoods. My plans are a bit…unorthodox, but I think he’ll be okay.
- 37. Back at the dorm, Carmine was making his own friends, one of whom is this dormie, whose name I can’t recall. They have one bolt and she’s his ACR one.
- 38. Even still, they have a pretty open relationship. One moment she’s giving Carmine a kiss…
- 39. The next, their fellow dormie. No jealousy reactions either.
- 40. Person, person, plus, plus flying every where. Flirts, kisses, hugs, you name it.
- 42. Back at the sorority house, you see Julie and Aiden have become quite close. She’s been in love with him for awhile now.
- 43. So has Melissa. She’s been in love with him since the days Obsidian was at the dorm. Makes the mess of what she pulled at his house even more vexing.
- 44. Mutual love and couch woohoo with Julie set them both in love and made Julie his ACR one.
- 45. Which led to some humor when Melissa lured him to bed in an ACR induced stupor. He was fine when she wanted to relax and talk, but the minute she tried to take things further he rejected her.
- 46. Shortly after however, their relationship was high enough for red hearts. Julie was not pleased when she found out. Julie and Melissa are both family sims with similar TO/O. They have boltage for all the same sims. Aiden is a Knowledge sim. He has boltage for almost all the female sims, except for Scarlett.
- 47. Not to be daunted by the slap-fest, he continued to build his relationship back up with Melissa.
- 48. As I said, I really like Aiden in general in all the ‘verses I’ve played him in and all the ‘verses I’ve seen him in. He’s a great member of Kaleidoscope House. At lease he knows to wear a toga to the toga parties.
- 49. He also mans the cow gun on a regular basis.
- 50. His aim is unwavering and his delight in dealing with the cows highly amusing.
- 51. Through all the drama going on around her, Scarlett stuck to her studies and continued to throw parties.
- 52. A love tub was also acquired and Gilbert was invited over repeatedly to test out its restorative powers.
- 53. Much to the pervy Llama mascot’s delight. Cheering is a bit much, don’t you think?
- 54. A second genie lamp was delivered to the family at the sorority house.
- 55. Scarlett rolled a want to rub the lamp, so I let her.
- 56. The house is loaded with funds though, so a wish for money would have been extraneous. Wishing for beauty wasn’t necessary since she and Gilbert were pretty cemented at this point, and a wish for life long happiness would make it so achieving her LTW was unnecessary. Scarlett didn’t’ feel any wishes were necessary and neither did I. The lamp was given to Aiden to aid in my future plans.
- 57. The other significant occurrence was that Scarlett met Charlie Komei. The second sim she has two bolts with. o/ They became friends quite quickly and I held out hope that he would replace Gilbert in her affections. For the record, I’m trying to find spouses from different population pools in the game. Uma was a bartender downtown, Demi grew up with Obsidian, etc. Both Gilbert and Komei come from different pools so either is really okay.
- 58. More drama occurred when Aiden’s third love came by the house. Her name is also Melissa, but we’ll refer to her as Missy from here on out. Just to avoid confusion.
- 59. Melissa the First was not amused. In fact there were flamey balloons of hate for a while around the house. However, it was time for the “punishment” to begin.
- 60. Having three of the “victims” graduated, the Johnson Harem sent to Spectrum and loaded into a lot. Right around this time, I downloaded a new set of default skins. This house also became a testing ground for the skins.
- 61. Here is Aiden Johnson all grown up and adultified. My biggest problem with custom skins are how they smooth out the odd Eaxis features so much. I’m finding that these smooth them some, but not overly so. There appears to be a slight line in the neck region, but it may be the clothing. I’ve also figured out that the Geebivs have a different custom skin because only Demi’s changed with the new defaults.
- 62. Next up, Julie. I must admit that I’ve forgotten her last name. In fact, I’ve forgotten all of the girls last names and since I didn’t write them down, I’m not going to look. It’s immaterial anyway. Julie is a Family sim with a LTW to graduate 3 kids from college. She has two bolts with Aiden.
- 63. Melissa (Jayalapan, I think?) and her new look. Melissa is also a Family sim with the LTW to become Captain Hero. She and Aiden have three bolts. Their relationship is still pretty low from when she caught him cheating.
- 64. Melissa the Second, n/k/a Missy. Missy is a Knowledge sim with a LTW to max 7 skills. She and Aiden have two bolts. Missy and Aiden also share aspiration and LTW’s.
- 65. Aiden’s fourth love is Jordan (Cormier, I think?). Jordan was not featured previously, because she never made it over to the Greek House. Jordan is another Family sim and her LTW is also to graduate 3 kids from college. She and Aiden also have two bolts.
- 66. So, part of the “punishment” and new skin testing idea is to have all four women get preggers by Mr. Johnson. *snerk* “Johnson” *snerk* So, I built them a house, which I’m quite proud of, and turned off jealousy on the lot. No folks, we don’t have a OTP, we have an OT4. The women are all straight, but ACR is running rampant, so anything can happen.
- 67. The top floor, which is actually the first floor, is the main living space. Clockwise from the upper left there’s a kitchen, bathroom, great hall, living room, 2nd bathroom, skilling/game room, entryway, and dining room.
- 68. The basement, or lower floor holds all the bedrooms. Each woman has their own room. Aiden does not, as he can choose to sleep with whomever he wants at any given time. There are also two more bathrooms and two small nursery spaces. In case you’re wondering, Jordan has the green room, Julie the blue, Missy the patchwork and Melissa the beige floral.
- 69. Aiden quickly got down to business, hopping from one bed to the next to try for baby. I used the tombstone of L&D to speed them up.
- 70. I thought I had a larger household hack in, but when he finally got to Missy, there was no option to Try For Baby. I’ll have to check into it, but as a Knowledge sim, I’m thinking she doesn’t really have to have one. Except I want the green eyes in the neighborhood. I also want to fulfill the 3 kids in college wants for both ladies who have those.
- 71. So, after speeding up the pregnancies, Julie was first up with her daughter, Dixie. The names really mean nothing. They’re just what happened to pop into my head as they were born. Dixie has her father’s skin and eye color and her mother’s hair color.
- 72. Next up, Melissa with little Jules here. Ironic, I know, but as I said, subliminal and unintentional. Jules has her mother’s skin, eyes and hair color.
- 73. Finally, Robert made his appearance. Robert also has his father’s skin and eyes, but his mother’s hair color.
- 74. Ever impatient and because it really has no bearing on the Geebivs, I also sped up the infancy period. Again, Dixie was first. She’s adorable and I think she’ll have some of her mother’s facial features.
- 75. Jules is also quite cute. She’s a bit harder for me to figure with facial features.
- 76. Finally, Robert, who is also adorable. None of the kids seem to have their father’s eye shape, but I’m horrible at seeing these things. Enough genetic fun. Back to Kaleidoscope House we go. We’ll return to see the kids grow up at a later time.
- 77. Carmine had officially moved into the Greek House once Johnson and his Ho crew moved on. While the bird cage has been in the house since Obsidian wished for it, Carmine was the first to roll the want for a bird. Prismy holds the honor as the sorority mascot.
- 78. Scarlett promptly let him out of his cage. *shakes head* Can they fly off and be lost forever? Just wondering because eventually Prismy flew back to his cage.
- 79. The semester was pretty uneventful and Scarlett finally finished on the Dean’s List. She had a few things to finish up before making her phone call.
- 80. I like them to grow up into everyday clothes, so after her shower, who should walk by? Why it’s Komei! I had her greet him and this is how she did. I’m not sure where her exuberance comes from. This greeting finally threw both of them into crush status.
- 81. After he left, still at crush status, Scarlett made her phone call to return to Spectrum.
- 82. Her transition outfit was one she apparently borrowed from her mother. She said her goodbye’s to Carmine and moved on.
- 83. This is the last we’ll see of Carmine for awhile. He’s going to place-hold Kaleidoscope House until the next generation arrives.
- 84. The first thing Scarlett did upon her return home? No, not greet her parents. She built a snowman.
- 85. Then she went to the guitar and maxed her creativity skill. This is a good thing since she’ll be looking for a job in the music career track. Her want panel also included three face wants for Gilbert, one of them being an engagement want. I think she’s made her choice.
- 86. Her grandparents bed had been destroyed a while back by one of the neighborhood strays that got into the house. Stupid dog. Anyway, the bedroom was redecorated to suit Scarlett.
- 87. Uma was not amused. She also gets upset at her husband’s missing grave. At least I think that’s what she’s upset about.
- 88. I went and played Gilbert’s house a second time and had him ask Scarlett on a date.
- 89. Since he finally stopped rolling the fear, he popped the question over dinner.
- 90. Scarlett said yes. This is where we’ll leave for now. Next update, we’ll see what they get up to and should have Generation Four on the way.
