Spring 3: Rosa

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time Rosa did a bunch of spellcaster stuff, got knocked up by Father Winter, and surprised me by giving birth to triplet boys Lucas, Liam, and Leo.

Rosa is going to have to deal with 3 infants as a single mother this rotation… This is not going to be fun.

First I have to renovate the house to accommodate these kids.

Here is the new top floor.

And this is what the main floor looks like now.

Rosa has one day of screaming babies before these boys become infants.

She spends the rest of the day brewing as many Potions of Plentiful Needs as she can, she’s going to need those suckers to survive this.

It is time. I’ve colour coded the kids for easier identification. This is Liam, his colour is blue, he’s got the lightest hair colour of the three boys, his cheeks are the chubbiest, and he’s the only one to inherit Rosa’s pink eyes. His infant trait is Sunny.

This is Lucas, his colour is yellow. Lucas’ blonde hair is the darkest of the three boys. He’s got grey eyes and his infant trait is Calm.

And this is Leo! His colour is red and his hair colour is darker than Liam’s but lighter than Lucas’. He also got grey eyes, and his trait is Sensitive.

Rosa feeds some hungry infants.

Before they pass out onto the floor.

Rosa practices some magic while they sleep.

I eventually get some cribs set up and Rosa deposits the boys.

Well, two of them at least.

Lucas isn’t sleepy yet, so he stays up and plays for a bit.

Liam and Lucas have Rosa’s skin colour, but Leo’s is a little pinker.

Oh, all three boys are also spellcasters.

It’s only been a day and one of them already needs a bath.

Just look at the chubbiness of those cheeks!

Liam plays with some blocks and it looks like Leo passed out on the floor again.

Rosa managed to up her spellcaster level.

And completes her aspiration! Her new one is Spellcraft and Sorcery.

Kakeru, Rosa’s woohoo buddy shows up. I forgot I gave him a key.

His presence does allow Rosa to complete a milestone of her aspiration.

She needs to win so many duels now, so she challenges Kakeru to a duel while the boys sleep.

She wins the first one, but loses all the others. She ends up getting cursed! At least this one doesn’t seem to be so bad.

And Lucas and Leo passed out and no doubt knocked their heads on each other.

Rosa has been surviving off of her potions, she hasn’t slept since they aged up.

Another bath and another infant passed out on the floor.

The boys are all happy for now, so Rosa tries to learn some new potions recipes. I’m hoping to have her eventually learn all of the possible spells and potions.

She gives little Liam a nap cause this interaction is adorable.

While all the boys are sleeping, Rosa grabs something to eat and drinks a potion to get rid of her curse.

She’s Active, so she’s happy to finally get out and go for a jog.

Darrel, Rosa’s father died! She ended up inheriting about $10 000.

Rosa has no time to grieve though, her three sons require most of her attention.

Then Max stops by like an idiot and almost gets himself killed.

Serena also stopped by and it looks like she’s sad about Darrel’s death.

Rosa does some more potions practice.

Before she introduces Serena to her sons. Serena looks a little manic here.

YES! These three menaces are finally becoming toddlers!

It takes half the day to get them all aged up, but she does it.

Leo is now Clingy and he also managed to get the Top Notch Infant trait! I’m not sure how I managed that in all of the chaos.

Lucas is now Angelic and he also got Top Notch Infant.

And Liam is also Angelic with the Top Notch Infant trait.

Rosa starts on the potty training.

While Lucas and Liam work on their Movement until they are able to climb the stairs on their own.

Serena stops by again and seems overwhelmed by the tots. She leaves as soon as one of them starts crying.

Here’s all three boys side by side, you can really see the difference in their hair colour here.

Rosa works on potty training one kid, while the other two watch her to get their Thinking up.

And that’s all for now! I would not have survived this mess without Rosa’s potions. See you next time!

Rotation 3: Serena

Welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time Serena continued to juggle her relationships, and had a little girl called Rosa, who should be a spellcaster just like her father, Darrel.

Serena: “Do I really have to have an alien baby?”
Well, since Grant ruined my plans for him by getting unexpectedly knocked up, and I want aliens, it’s down to you.

An antenna is purchased to help move things along.

And it actually works this time! An alien has showed up.

And another one!

And a third! Serena’s house is a bit small for all these guests.

Though this alien has some style, I think he’s even wearing lipstick.

Umm, I did not expect alien toddlers to come by.

Okay, this house really isn’t big enough for everyone.

At least there’s some toys around to keep the tots occupied.

Serena’s house is full of aliens. At this point I decided that why keep trying to get her abducted when she could just marry an alien? She’s got plenty of options.

How many aliens are going to show up??? I think the total is at 6 or 7 now.

At least this one is being useful and fixing the sink.

Um, hi Joaquin, this isn’t exactly a good time.

Serena’s a little busy.

Serena: “Darling! How nice of you to stop by!”
Joaquin: “I heard you had a girl, I just came by to meet my daughter.”
Serena: “Your daughter… Right! Her name is Rosa, and she looks just like me.”

Joaquin: “Wow, look at all this great stuff Serena just threw out!”
Really?

Lincoln (The alien): “Who was that guy?”
Serena: “Oh, no one important, just an old fling of mine. We were never serious.”

Lincoln: “That’s good to hear, I’ve never meet someone like you before.”
Serena: “You are the only man for me. I promise.”

It looks like they went for round two.

Which lead to a happy accident.
Serena: “This house is too small, especially since there’s going to be more mouths.”

Little Rosa aged up Angelic. Her colouring is all from Serena, and though you can’t really see it in this picture, she got Darrel’s freckles!

Serena: “Joaquin! You’re back!”
Joaquin: “Well, we really didn’t get much of a chance to hang out last time.”

Joaquin: “Wait. You’re pregnant again! I know that this time it definitely isn’t mine, how could you?? Is Rosa even mine?”
Serena: “Um, well… No. She’s not.”
Joaquin: “You lying slut!!”

Lincoln: “Wait is she still with this guy?!”

Lincoln: “Oh wait, I think they’re breaking up.”
Serena: “How DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT??”
Joaquin: “… I’m sorry! I’ll shut up now! Geez you’re scary when you’re angry.”

Serena: “Lincoln! Good news, you’re going to be a father!”
Joaquin: “This guy?”
Lincoln: “I always wanted a family!”

And with that Lincoln moved in, if you’re wondering what his disguise looks like, it’s this… You’ll probably never see it again.

Meet Lincoln Wilkerson! He’s Noncommittal, Gloomy, Loner, Alluring, and has the Soulmate aspiration. (You would think it would conflict with his Noncommittal trait)

Oh cool, apparently aliens glow with their emotions. I’ve never played with TS4 aliens before, so this is all new to me.

I’m trying to remember what he’s doing here, maybe reading Joaquin’s mind? Or mood? It’s been a few months since I’ve played this.

Lincoln: “You see this?”
Joaquin: “…Yes?”
Lincoln: “If you ever talk to Serena like that again, you don’t want to know what I’ll do.”
Joaquin: “I think I’m going to leave now, and never come back… Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.”

Serena: “You didn’t have to say that to Joaquin, I’m fully capable of dealing with him myself.”
Lincoln: “I just want the world to know that I’m behind you no matter what.”

Serena: “That’s so sweet!”

Lincoln and Serena: *squeals like teenaged girls as they become officially boyfriend and girlfriend*

Conner: “Hey, I heard something was going on over here… Woah, the door’s open.”

Lincoln: “You may not be mine sweet child, but I will love you just the same.”
Rosa: “Who’re you?”

Serena: “I can’t believe how lucky I got with Lincoln, he’s perfectly happy to watch Rosa while I work on my career.”

Lincoln: “And then they lived happily ever after.”

Darrel showed up, but everyone was asleep, so he didn’t get come inside.

Lincoln: “People actually like this drama filled stuff? Why don’t the two of them just TALK TO EACH OTHER?”
Honestly, I don’t get it either, especially when the romantic drama is pure miscommunication that could easily solved by the two characters talking to each other.

Serena: “He’s banished from the kitchen till breakfast is finished, I don’t need his overly concerned hovering.”
That explains why he’s watching the romance channel.

Look what Serena rolled!!! She never rolled anything like this for Darrel, I think she’s made up her mind on who she wants to settle down with.

With a new child on the way, it was time to build a better house! It’s a little on the small side, but I like it.

Rosa is enjoying having lots a new toys and space to play with them.

It keeps her occupied while Lincoln and Serena break in their new bed.

Rosa: “Look what I found!”
At least she’s outside.

Lincoln: “From the moment we met, I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”

Lincoln: “Marry me, and make me the happiest man in the world?”

Serena: “Nothing would make me happier! Oh just look how this ring sparkles.”

Lincoln: “And that is exactly what my mother used to say. It’s a good thing I learned not to listen to her, though it did take a few poor experiences.”
Rosa: “You’re so funny!”
Serena: “Aw. They’re bonding.”

Lincoln: “We really need to keep a better eye on that kid. Look at the messes she made!”

It may look like Serena fosters most of the parenting off on Lincoln, but she does do her fair share.
Rosa: “Bubbles!”

Oh this is going to be interesting, Serena and Rosa are both asleep.
Darrel: “Who’re you?”

Lincoln: “I’m Serena’s fiancée, who’re you?!”
Darrel: “FIANCEE?! I’m Rosa’s father!”
Lincoln: “Some father, have you even seen her since she was born?”
Darrel: “I’m here now!”
Lincoln: “AT MIDNIGHT! She’s sleeping!”

I just realized these two are wearing the exact same boots.

Lilith: “I’m not interrupting anything am I?”
Lincoln & Darrel: *bewildered silence*

Lincoln then invited both of them in and tried to play nice with Darrel for Rosa’s sake. These two do not like each other, but are perfectly fine acting civil without ever gaining a positive relationship.

Lilith just came in to use the computer, I have no idea why she even came by in the first place, no one here knows her.
Lilith: “They do now.”

Vlad: “I heard Lilith was here, I wanted to drop by too.”
Go away, Lincoln went to bed already.
Vlad: “But I want to come in!”

The gnomes have arrived.

Serena gave this one a pie, let’s see how this goes.

It worked! I must say that Sims 4 gnomes aren’t nearly as fun as Sims 3 ones.

Lincoln: “Alien gnome, I present you a fortune telling cube.”

The gnome is pleased! No failures this time round.

Lincoln: “I’ve never properly celebrated any holiday before, I can’t wait to decorate!”

To celebrate the holiday, Serena hosted a Drama Llama gathering. This time Avery and Serena can be pregnant buddies.

Serena: “Grant! It’s so good to see you.”
Grant: “Congratulations on your engagement!”
These two are pretty good friends, I think it’s interesting how they paired up, Conner and Avery got married, and Serena and Grant are very good friends.

This gathering also had another purpose.

Lincoln and Serena are now married!

Though everyone sort of just hanged out in the house instead of actually watching the wedding.

Serena: “Why is there a packet of seeds on the ground? It’s ruining my cooking zen!”
Blame the gnomes, don’t worry I think I sold them.

Serena: “Alright everybody, dinner is served!!”

I love how everyone sat at the table and ate together.

I think Conner has finally gotten his cheating horniness out of his system, he and Avery are always making gooey faces at each other, and he hasn’t tried to flirt with Serena once!

These two are not friends and yet Darrel always seems to come by when everyone else is asleep.
Lincoln: *Still trying to remain civil*
Darrel: *Still technically Serena’s boyfriend*

Lincoln: “This is not what I expected to happen first thing in the morning! WHAT DO I DO???”

Lincoln: “I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING!!!!”
Serena: “Calm down and let’s get checked in.”

Lincoln: “AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Serena: “I already told you CALM DOWN!!!!!”

Ummmm, how are they suppose to check in if there’s no nurse?

Serena: “IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU SHOWED UP!!! I’M IN LABOUR HERE!!”

Lincoln seems to have gotten over his panic.
Lincoln: “I’ve got to tell everybody what’s happening!”

Lady: “Hello, I’ll be your doctor for today.”
Serena: “Wow, you’re actually a doctor, last time I got stuck with an intern.”
Doctor: “Um, that’s unfortunate, interns aren’t suppose to deliver babies, they aren’t trained to use the equipment.”

Lincoln: “I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH ROOM SHE’S IN!!!”

Serena: “Not this crap again.”

And it’s TWINS… Again… What is with my game?

Serena had twin girls who are called Sarah and Sasha, as babies they’re basically identical.

They come home to Darrel using their computer.
Darrel: “Someone had to look after Rosa while they were at the hospital, and I’m her father!”

I decided that Lincoln needed a hobby, and now he gardens. He decided he liked it and has plants for every season.

Lincoln: “Your cooking is the best. You are so amazing.”
Serena: “I know, aren’t you just the sweetest!”

And it’s another Drama Llama gathering! In typical Serena fashion, everyone is decked out in their cold weather clothes while she’s in her bra and undies.
Avery: “Aren’t you cold?”
Serena: “I look amazing, who cares!”

Serena: “I’m getting pretty good at this mixology thing.”
Too bad you won’t need it for much longer, not once you get your next promotion.
Serena: “SERIOUSLY!”

Unlike Finn, Rosa is happier playing by herself and avoiding being the center of attention.

Avery: “I can’t wait to get this kid out of me.”
It’s not my fault you got knocked up just before your rotation finished.

This is me discovering that skill books exist in the Sims 4.

Lincoln is reading up on gardening I believe. It’s sweet how he always tries to spend time with Rosa.

Rosa: “You tell the best stories.”
Lincoln: “I’m glad you like them, I love telling them to you.”

Serena: “Guess who got a promotion!”
Yep, and now you no longer need mixology, so we’ll probably end up selling the bar.

Rosa: “BUBBLES!!”
Lincoln: “Careful, you’re getting me wet!”
Rosa: *Giggles*
Gah, these two are too cute.

It was too cold earlier for Lincoln to be able to plant anything, but now that it’s warmed up a bit, he can finally plant his garden.

Lincoln: “Gardening is so peaceful.”

Lincoln is also going to work on flower arranging, as I’ve never done it before, and he’s growing some flowers in his garden.

And that’s it for this round! I’ve played through all of Rotation 3 and halfway through Serena’s round of Rotation 4, however I’ve just gotten a new computer, so the rest of Rotation 4 will be played on that! See you next time!”

Rotation 2: Serena

Hello and welcome back to Drama Llama! Last time Serena managed to be the only one not to have a kid, with Grant constantly sleeping around, and Conner who’s fertility apparently can’t be contain.

Last time Serena managed to get two boyfriends, Joaquin and D. D is actually called Darrel, and I found out from reading other Sims 4 blogs, that he’s actually a spellcaster! Since I definitely want some supernaturals in this, I want Darrel to father a child with Serena, regardless of whether or not they actually end up together.
Serena: “Don’t I get a say in this?”
You’re going to have kids at some point. Are you really opposed to Darrel being a father?
Serena: “…”
I thought so.

It’s pretty clear that Darrel is into Serena, he’s constantly stopping by.

And judging from the look on her face, Serena really likes him as well.

Serena then pulled out some puppy dog eyes to convince Darrel to leave his other partner. He’s wrapped around Serena’s finger and agreed without hesitation.

His visit naturally lead to the bedroom.

The next day Serena was watching some action tv, when…

Joaquin, Serena’s other boyfriend stopped by.

Serena: “So what brings you by?” *wink*
Joaquin: “Can’t I just be here to say hello?”

Serena: “Somehow I think you had something else in mind.”

Serena: “Which I’d be more than up for.”
Joaquin: “Yeah, no. I’m not feeling particularly amorous today.”

Joaquin turned down any and all of Serena’s romantic interactions.
Serena: “You’re such a self centered asshole! What do you think your doing leading me on like this??!!”

Serena is really mad at him. I don’t see their relationship going anywhere, though I’m pretty sure she only got with Joaquin to make Darrel jealous.

Serena is in the cullinary carrer, so she has to do a look of cooking. For a change I decided to try out the baking skill.

She made some sugar cookies, which she left out for anyone to take. (No one eats any of them)
Serena: “Do you know how much sugar are in these? I’m not looking to get fat!”

And look who’s back! I swear Darrel stops by every other day.

Serena isn’t about to turn down a visit from her favourite boyfriend.

Serena latter went to work and got a promotion!

She was however in a bad mood.
Serena: “My day was CRAP!!”

Though she cheered up rather quickly when Darrel stopped by.

Just look at that face. This girl knows what she wants.

It doesn’t take long for her to drag Darrel to the bedroom.

Serena is used to getting what she wants, and Darrel never turns her down.

I formed a club and called it Drama Llama, which Serena is the leader. The four of them had a gathering at Narwhal Arms.

I’d seen group dances in other blogs, and I’d thought I’d try it out… This amuses me so much.

It didn’t take long for Conner and Avery to hang out at the bar and make cutesy faces at each other. Dion, Roxanna’s husband was there as well. I think he’s stalking Conner.

Serena is having a great time partying.

While Avery’s idea of a fun night is apparently cleaning.
Avery: “Do you know how dirty these tables are?”
It’s a night club, what do you expect?

Things with Joaquin have simmered off, and Darrel doesn’t seem interested in taking their relationship any further, so Serena lays eyes on a new target.

Serena and Paolo start flirting up a storm.
Serena: “What can I say, I love brown hair.”

It doesn’t take long for Serena to drag Paolo to the closet for some fun.

Even though Grant was right there! He was napping on the bench, but as soon as Serena and Paolo got at it, he woke up.

Though judging by the look on his face, I don’t think he minds.
Grant: “Can’t I appreciate two people having a good time?”
You are staring at the closet, you’re practically a voyeur.
Grant: *shrugs* “If they wanted privacy they should have gone somewhere less public.”

Serena: “That was some awesome woohoo.”
Paolo: “You can call me anytime babe.”

It’s a good thing Serena decided to call it a night after that, cause Darrel showed up just outside.

Serena: “Who left all these dirty glasses here?”
You did, though I’m not sure how water can go bad from sitting out…

Serena: “Darrel! You were just in the neighbourhood I’m guessing.”

Darrel: “I just can’t get enough of you.”
Serena: “Well, there’s nothing wrong with that is there?”

Darrel’s visits always seem to end up in the bedroom.

And it seems this time has lead to Serena getting pregnant.

Darrel may not look happy when she gives him the news.

But it didn’t take long for him to come around.
Darrel: “Yes! I’m going to be a father!!”

Serena’s aspiration requires her to host a silver dinner party, so she invites the rest of Drama Llama over.

I forgot what I gave these guys for their party outfits.

Serena: “I’m a dual wielder!”
I’m not sure that’s safe.
Serena: “Nonsense! I’m an expert!”

Because it’s summer, it didn’t take long for the boys to change into their hot weather outfits.

Serena’s now able to level up Gourmet Cooking.

CONNER! What do you think you’re doing?!!!

Avery is right there! And so is Darrel!!
At least Serena seems to have some sense and turned him down.

Darrel went to cry under the covers.

Despite the fact Serena turned down Conner’s flirt, she and Darrel lost some of their relationship meter, and Darrel went home feeling sad.

Serena: “It’s not enough for you to ruin your relationships, but you have to have a go at mine as well!”
Really Conner? Really? Why don’t you go home to your FOUR kids before your horny ass makes things worse.

Well at least Serena got the silver medal she needed.

And completed the next tier of her aspiration!

Feeling sad Serena?
Serena: “Pregnancy sucks. Especially when the father isn’t here to wait on me hand and foot.”

Serena: “Why do I have to keep doing this? I’m a chef remember?!”
You do want promotions don’t you?
Serena: “Fine…”

Serena: “I repeat. Pregnancy sucks.”

At least Darrel’s now here to wait on you hand and foot.

Serena: “I’M FAT! I can’t let him see me like this!”
*sigh*

Serena eventually crawled out from underneath the covers to talk to the father of her child.

They had a quite evening of dinner and TV, I don’t think Serena was in the mood for much more, and Darrel had the sense not to awaken her wrath.

Another milestone done. She now has to get to level 8 of the culinary career… She’s at level 4. This might be awhile.

At least Serena can take her anger out on the bear.

Look who stopped by! I wonder how Serena’s going to explain her pregnancy to her other boyfriend?

Serena: “Joaquin! I’m so glad you stopped by. Congratulations! You’re going to be a father!”
*face palm* Cause this is going to work out well…

Joaquin: “Really? I didn’t think we woohooed recently?”
Serena: “You were drunk… We both were.”
Joaquin: “Oh.”

Serena: “It’s the truth! I would never lied to you baby.”
This screams functional doesn’t it. *sarcasm*

Serena then decided to remind Joaquin how “their child” was conceived.

The real father then decided to ask Serena out on a date, clueless to her other ‘activities’.

Darrel: “Wow, your belly really is getting bigger!”
Serena: “Don’t remind me. I feel fat enough as it is.”

Darrel: “Why are these old ladies talking to us?”
Serena: “No idea, maybe if we make out they’ll go away.”

Serena and Darrel instead went to experiment with the bubble blower.

It wasn’t long before Serena was hungry enough to eat a horse, so she went to the bar to get some food.

That looks healthy.
Serena: “I have cravings!”

Afterwards Serena was feeling good enough to put the moves on Darrel.

Until her bladder reminded her that she had some urgent business to take care of. Darrel then decided the date was over and declared the entire thing a disaster, which lowered the relationship…
Serena and Darrel seem to have a hot and cold sort of relationship. Things between them go really well, both relationship bars are max, and then stuff happens and things start to cool off between them, only to heat up again later.

Serena: “Crap! Pregnancy sucks.”

Serena was suppose to go to the bathroom before she started cooking, but apparently she decided to ignore me.
Serena: “I didn’t think I had to go that badly!”

One shower later and Serena’s back to her unsafe dual wielding.

Conner then decided to stop by… You better behave this time Conner!
Conner: “Don’t worry. I’ve learnt my lesson.”
You better have!

However it isn’t long after Serena invites Conner inside that she has to take off.

She went into labour!

Serena: “Ummm, do you know what you’re doing?”
Lady: “Nope! I’m just and intern.”
Serena: “I’m going to go home and have my kid there.”
Intern: “Too late! Once the process is started it can’t be stopped.”
Serena: “Crap!”

Serena: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Despite the techinical difficulties, Serena had one little girl, called Rosa. (Thank goodness it wasn’t ANOTHER set of twins.)

Conner seems to have been completed unfazed by these events and spent the entire time watching Serena’s TV.

Level 5! Serena just needs 3 more promotions for her next milestone.

It looks like little Rosa is a spellcaster like her dad!

Right now Rosa’s skin looks pretty dark, but babies in this game tend to have their skin look darker than it actually is. Her skin colour is probably close to Serena’s.

And that’s all for this rotation! See you next time folks… I’m going to have to deal with Conner and Avery with four toddlers…Damn.
