So a little while back I posted a poll about what Frank and Avery should do about their small home with their expanding family. It was close between expand the house and move the family, with the former leading by one. Well, after giving it some thought, I went ahead and voted myself for move the family, thus tying the two options. And I went ahead and built them a new house. XD It's just so much easier for me to start over from the ground up rather than to try to expand on an existing floorplan.
I immediately got Frank on the computer to move his family.
Frank scooped up his son (Roger, I think? I'm trying to keep track of them) to go to their new house.
Frank: Say, 'bye bye house!'
Roger: I'm an infant. I'm not gunna remember this place.
Moving day! Er, night.
What, no pink limo?
Roger: WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! This place suuuuuuccksssss!
Hm, yeah, it does. I have a habit of not finishing a place until the family is moved in, just in case they can't afford it yet.
Ah, there we go! Much better!
I do kind of miss their old lot. It was a bit closer to the center of town (although this one is closer to the stadium), and bigger. This was the biggest lot I could get without going all the way out to The Back 40 (awakesoon, that's for you XD).
Here's their finished living room. This is taken from the back corner of the room, looking toward the opposite front corner. The front door is kinda behind Frank. This picture was also taken before I moved the burglar alarm from off the window. =P
And from the front corner looking in the other direction.
The kitchen. I didn't make them a separate dining room this time.
And here is the nursery. This house is actually based on a pre-made home that came with the Teen Style Stuff expansion pack for Sims 2. The master bedroom is on the main floor, and there are two large bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.
A little synchronized baby feeding.
Frank: Excuse me a second, son.
Roger: Uh oh...
Frank: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Everyone else: ....
Avery: Excuse me a second, son.
Jordan: Okay, mommy!
It's another baby bump sorta!
Um. Wow. Nice, Frank.
Avery: Guess what Frank! We're gunna have another baby!
Frank: OMG! Really?
Frank: That's nice. *thumbs up*
Thumbs up? That's how you're gunna react to your new son or daughter?
Frank: So where's the baby?
Avery: It's um. It's in the same place as the last two.
Frank: Oh! I see it now. Hi baby!
Frank: Peekaboo! Peekaboo! I see you!
Avery: Uh, again. Baby can't see you.
Frank: What's that baby? Huh?
Avery's belly: Hm, it's a nice starter home, but obviously lived in. It's spacious for now, but it's probably gunna feel cramped later on. Whoever lived here before certainly didn't clean up after they left, though.
Avery's belly: *cranks up stereo*
Frank: Oooohhh...
Avery's belly: THUMPATHUMPATHUMPATHUMPA
Frank: Wow, nice bass.
Why does the phone always ring to tell me that someone's died or about to die? I forget who this one was, but it was about the fourth or fifth one recently. I think Frank and Avery are gunna have to make more friends.
Some Frank and baby spam.
The next morning, Frank helped himself to a big plate of goopy carbonara that Avery made the night before and left out on the counter.
Ew, it's spewing green fumes and everything.
Frank: Bleeeeh... :)
Really? Ya think?
And we have another runner!
Frank: Aaaaavvvverrrrryyyy! You're in my waaaaay!
Avery: *from behind Frank* Frrraaaaaank! You're in my way!
Avery beat Frank into the bathroom so she could clean the toilet.
Frank: Huuuurrrrryyy uuuuuuuup!
Frank: Bllllaaaarrrrrrgggghh!
Frank's pregnant! 8D
Er, just kidding. Frank's feelin the effects of fermented goopy carbonara.
I had to remind Frank to go to work after his barfest, but I really just wanted this pic because of the frozen monkey pop billboard in the background. XD
Frank: Awww, fluzzy nawa.
Jordan: Flubby who what?
I love Simlish! XD
More Frank/baby spam! But I promise, this is the last time for the twins, because...
IT'S finally BIRTHDAY TIME!!
Avery: Happy birthday, Jordan!
Frank: Bwahahahhahahahaha!!
For some reason, Frank decides to mock Jordan for aging up.
Avery: Just ignore him, sweetie.
Jordan: Forever? Please?
Frank: *still busting a gut*
Frank: Hahahahaha! Are you gunna hatch out of your coccoon? Is the little larva gunna finally become a bug?
Jordan: This is bullshit. I wanna be tossed in the air with confetti, not left on the floor to wriggle my way out of my swaddling.
Me: Yeah, me too. I liked toddler birthdays in S2 better.
Toddler Jordan! =D Black hair and light blue eyes (like his father's although this picture makes them look kinda green)! Completely not what I expected. I guess you really aren't supposed to be able to tell what babies are gunna look like in S3.
Frank: Mmm, this is good cake.
Jordan: Daddy? Daddy, I grew up. Daddy? Hello?
And now it's Roger's turn! And because Frank doesn't play favorites, he mocks his other son as well.
Frank: Hahahahahahahaaa!
Avery: Happy birthday, Roger! *helps blow out candles* *smothers Roger*
Roger: Mrrffughh!
Frank: Time for the other one to hatch! Hahahaha!
Frank: You're gunna have six legs and antennae!
Avery: Frank, we're over here.
Toddler Roger! Brown hair (similar to Avery's) and green eyes.
Roger & Jordan OMG TOYS!!!
Frank: *ignores children in favor of cake*
Jordan went to play in the toy box...
While his brother went for more intellectual pursuits. Nevermind the fact that he's chewing on the toy rather than learning from it. Hey, he's still developing those skills!
I gave them both makeovers, but only got a picture of Roger. I decided to put each boy in their favorite colors, so here is Roger in white.
Nearly full-term pregnant and carrying her toddler son up the stairs in heels, Avery proves that she is HARDCORE.
I even color coordinated their cribs because I'm just that OCD.
One toddler down!
His brother was content to chew on his hand for a while. I have a feeling that one child will be a bit more... simple... than the other. XD
Jordan: I'm so lonely! Brother! Brother, wake up and talk to me!
Roger: ZZZZZZZZ....
Jordan: Fine, be a jerk. *plops down*
Roger: ZZZZZZZZZZZ.....
Jordan: *chew chew ch~* Oh hai daddy.
Jordan: Hmm, a 2009 pea mush with hints of carrots and soft, subtle beet undertones.
Okay, maybe he's not that "simple". XD
Frank then decided that it's never too early to teach your children about love.
And Yetis.
Frank: But a Yeti will just break your heart.
Jordan: Oh man, I know what that's like.
Frank: You... you do?
Jordan: Yeah, but she was just this trashy whore, so it's okay.
Frank: ... Well. Good. I guess.
Frank: WHAT KIND OF FATHER AM I!?!?!
Checking the stove always makes Frank feel better.
Avery: Pretty soon we'll have to take you to the D-O-C-T-O-R.
Roger: I know what that spells.
And then Avery taught her son about his patriotic duty to vote in the elections when he turns 18. Again, never too early to start teaching your kids.
Avery: Can you say "trash"?
Roger: Marriage!
Omg, what will this child's future be like??
Avery: Um, no, not quite. Let's try this again. Can you say "engagement"?
Roger: Love!
Avery: That's better. But I don't remember teaching you either of those words.
Frank was getting tired, but instead of going to bed, he made himself some coffee.
Frank: Mmmmm... coffeeee... *falls asleep in cup*
Avery has a nice, maternal moment in the bathroom.
I decided she deserved a day at the spa since she hasn't had any pampering yet during this pregnancy. I hope the baby turns out okay...
Jordan: I WANT OOOUUUUUTTT!!!
Jordan: What's wrong with mommy?
IT'S BABY TIME!!
And, again, Avery drives Frank to the hospital.
...leaving their children with the TV babysitter. I swear, a babysitter showed up, I just don't know where...
Frank: Oh man, I'm soooo tiiired.
Avery: That's nice hon, but I'm gunna go have a baby.
Frank: Oh shit, wait for me!
And yes, that's where I'm leaving this one off. It's another baby cliffhanger!! XD BWAHAHAHAHA!
Ehrm, actually, I just figured it was the best place to leave off. The post was fairly long anyway, so I figured I'd stop there before it got any longer.
Next update: Will Frank survive the new bundle of joy? Will I survive?
