Episode Thirty: New Bar, New Non-Immortal, New Generation

The Does have received a letter from a fan asking them a question.

Dear Doe Family,

Do Lindsay's nails affect her typing ability? How does she maintain them while writing novels all day?

Signed, a fan.

P.S: Grats Gordon, I was rooting for you!

Well fan, Gordon appreciates the support you gave him but let's answer your question. Sims don't have fingernails, therefore, they cannot get in Lindsay's way.


When we last left our family, Marcus became immortal.


We begin this episode with... Lindsay typing more novels. Seriously, writer sims are boring.

Lindsay: The question wasn't whose blood was on the box, but why there was blood to begin with. If the blood didn't belong to the victim, then there was only one person it could have belonged to, the killer.

Going with a mystery novel for your 25th book? What masterpieces will you be able to write?


A couple of days and 3/4 of the way of writing her first masterpiece, Lindsay realized that she was going to need a secure a husband before the person she had in mind got married. She invited former newspaper deliverer Perry Ogden, one of her best friends that attended every single one of Lindsay's teenage parties, over to her house.

Lindsay: Want to move in with me? Live a life of luxury and never have to work an honest day in your life ever again?
Perry Ogden: What if I wanted to work?
Lindsay: My dad says the hospital is paying people money to donate their brains and be replaced with artificial ones programmed to serve our world leader who happens to be my grandmother.
Perry Ogden: I'd be living with... her?
Lindsay: Yeah.
Perry Ogden: I'd be honored to live with Lord Erica. Please, let me serve you any way I can.
Lindsay: You can start by not formerly addressing any of us. Just our first names will do.
Perry Ogden: Yes my lad--err, I mean okay.
Lindsay: We'll work on that.

Perry Ogden has become a very special housemate in the household. Why is that? Because he is the last non-immortal in this dynasty.


Opting to not get married and have the seventh generation quite yet, Perry went down to the library to read up on Mixology and Handiness.

"No matter how much alcohol one pours into a drink, sims cannot get drunk. This doesn't mean your drink is going to taste good."

Perry: It's like I already know how to juggle six bottles of vodka at the same time without ever attempting it.


To help set the mood and encourage Perry to create that perfect drink for his lord and master Erica, the house got a minor renovation. The nursery has been relocated, the party room and the former nursery has been merged into one to become a full blown in-house sports bar.



To further delay the seventh generation, Perry had his adult birthday about 3 days later. Lindsay has been so busy writing masterpieces that there's just no time to celebrate birthdays, give birth to the next immortal, or even marry Perry.


One day before Lindsay's adult birthday, Perry was surprised to see Lindsay at the new bar.

Perry: You finally came out of the office?
Lindsay: I got a call from the Mayor, he said that I'm now a Blockbuster Writer and can't be promoted any higher. I need a break.
Perry: That's great! What'll it be?
Lindsay: I'll have what she's having.
Erica: You! Bartender slave!
Perry: Yes, Master?
Erica: Marry that girl in the purple shirt. Now.
Perry: O-of course! At once, Master.
Lindsay: ...make that a romance drink


Erica: Say yes. Now.
Perry: Yes, Master.
Lindsay: Wait this doesn't seem right, why am I the one proposing?


Erica: Good, good, now go and have a child so I can be a great-grandmother.
Lindsay: Wait grandma, not yet. My birthday's tomorrow, let's wait until then.
Perry: Should I proceed with the order, Master?
Erica: Wait until her birthday, like she asked.
Perry: Yes, Master.

[If I get Lindsay pregnant now, it'll delay her birthday because getting pregnant when it's almost a sim's birthday temporarily freezes that sim's age. I do not want to do that.]


Like Lindsay said, the next day was her adult birthday party. Just reaching the adult stage and she only needs three more opportunities, one more best friend, and her respective portraits. Lindsay will do just fine.


Lindsay: We can have the baby now. Let's go Perry.


The usual place of course, only now if you look closely, there's bottles of bubble bath in the tub.


Not long after woohooing immediately after a birthday, Lindsay became pregnant with the seventh generation. The bad news is that because Marcus is retired, he cannot determine the baby's gender. Hopefully five watermelons was enough because if this generation's a boy, this dynasty's over.


It didn't take long for the entire household to panic for some reason. Oh right, the baby. This is only the 6th time we've had a sim go in labor in this story and they're still panicing. Ignoring the pain and panicking sims, Lindsay rushed to the hospital to give birth.


Say hello to Jane Doe, the seventh generation. When Jane was born, Jane was crying in short spurts. Instead of just "waaaaah waaaaah", she would go "wa-WAH! wa-WAH", then stop and laugh for some reason. Call me crazy, but I think Jane's insane. At the very least, she didn't even seem remotely interested in harming the fly that was buzzing around the room when she was born so she might also be good too.

Yay the 7th Gen is here. As I've said before : Your sooooo close to finishing. 

[loveSims]

Now you can almost see the finish line! Congrats with the nooboo.

[Deme]

Wait, Jane Doe is Pinkie Pie?
You know, I've spent a pretty long time trying to figure out what supermax would best suit her. Is Charisma available in this dynasty?

[Orange Iguana]

Wait, Jane Doe is Pinkie Pie?
You know, I've spent a pretty long time trying to figure out what supermax would best suit her. Is Charisma available in this dynasty?

Available skills to supermax: Charisma, Inventing, Nectar Making, Handiness, Mixology, Fishing
Skills that have been claimed by other immortals: Sculpting, Painting, Cooking, Martial Arts, Logic, Writing
Banned supermaxes: Gardening, Photography, Athletics, All 4 Instruments, Riding (Pets not installed)

Some prefer to ban charisma and let all of the immortals learn it. I prefer throwing parties to make my friends so charisma can easily be supermaxed if I want.

[Ricalynn]

Be Careful with inventing and handiness.  My inventor on my first run barely supermaxed Inventing without maxing handiness.  In fact, I think he was level 9 handiness and I had to keep him from ever inventing again.

Welcome Baby Jane and congratulations to Marcus.

Episode Thirty One: Skipping to Jane's Child Birthday

It's hard to believe that the Does are nearing the end of their immortal dynasty. Perry being the final non-immortal, the birth of the seventh generation, five immortals watching TV and playing games in the sports bar all day while Perry serves them drinks. Life for the family couldn't be better, as long as Lindsay, Jane, and the eighth generation make it that is.


This episode begins with pointing out a minor flaw with having the dynasty home be underwater. Sometimes a sim will want to go to swim, and then go to bed. One would think that they would climb out of the pool, go down the elevator, and climb into bed, right? Not Cheryl, Cheryl prefers to swim down and try to phase through the glass. If you look closely, she managed to get her head and arms through.


Jane's imaginary friend ends up joining the other IFs in the junkyard. I'm sure that Buddy will get along with Cosmo, Patches, and Patterns.


On the bright side, this is the second to last mass birthday episode. We'll be starting off with Jane's toddler birthday.


This picture right here explains why almost every immortal and non-immortal has Couch Potato. Everyone but Erica will always go and watch TV for the entire day as long they're not hungry or sleepy. Erica will prefer to work out the entire day and never get fatigued. Since she doesn't need to sleep when pumped and has hardly hungry, she can go entire days acting as if she never existed. There's nothing else to really do but wait for birthdays since at this point, Lindsay has everything but her elder potrait. The only downside of the Couch Potato strategy is that you have to either ban cooking, gardening, and fishing as supermaxes or pay very close attention to what they're watching. Halls of History is fine.


Next up, Perry's elder birthday.


The next day, Jane's child birthday. Being insane, she starts childhood in her pajamas.

Jane: Ba ba ba bababa ba ba ba babababa ba ba ba PARTY!

Sounds like a party animal to me.


I knew I shouldn't have let her dress herself, she doesn't even have shoes on. If you think that's bad, we can't even show you what she picked for her formalwear.


The Does might their hands full with this one.

David: What did you give birth to?
Lindsay: She's doing that thing again, just ignore her.

Episode Thirty Two: The Sixth Immortal

One episode without a new immortal, two episodes without a new immortal, thre--Really? We can't go three episodes without someone becoming immortal now?

When we last left our family, Jane became a child.


We begin this episode with... Jane going to school in her swimsuit. Probability of Lindsay and Perry getting a phone call about this: 100%


After each school day, Jane would throw a party. Sometimes Jane gets the craziest ideas though, she wanted Marcus to help her with her homework while the guests were busy eating burgers. Wish granted, insane one. What's that? You also want to wear your formal attire to the casual party? Sure thing!


She also wanted to have her teen birthday right before school.

Jane: Janey Doe is here! Isn't this exciting I'm excited that I can finally finally finally start working on my supermax! Everyone was wondering what I would be doing and *she continues talking for another 20 minutes.*

Seeing as how Jane doesn't seem to have an off button when talking, it's pretty easy to guess what her supermax is going to be. Seeing as how she was so excited about it, Jane seemed to become excitable


Jane still has that... unique taste in clothing.


After taking a class at City Hall, Jane went down to the library to learn a thing or two about charisma.

Lindsay: "When giving speeches, picture everyone in their underwear." You mean they're not already in their underwear?


Jane decided to buy the warehouse and one of the swimming pools. Here at the Lofty Cerulean Blue "All You Can Pee" Pool, Jane provided citizens with plenty of outdoor toilets with no privacy whatsoever so that sims can publically urinate whenever they please. The swimming pool receives a center island full of comfortable lounging, palm trees, and a statue of someone important, but good luck actually reaching it... or swimming for that matter.

[Author's Note: If it was possible to fully upgrade the graveyard without cheating, I would have bought that instead. After seeing what Jane did to the pool, it's probably better for the citizens of Sunset Valley that she didn't.]


A couple of days later, Lindsay had her elder birthday. Out of all the immortals, Lindsay had the worst childhood. She was taken out of school to be homeschooled by Marcus and the former Lauren but Tutor would never appear for them. Between maintaining a career as a self-employed writer, trying to receive homeschooling sessions, and getting yelled at by the other immortals on a daily basis, it was a wonder that Lindsay was even able to pick her last trait. To make matters even worse, she wasn't allowed to get the Completely At Ease moodlet with the other immortals while she was writing. Completely At Ease prevents the Strained moodlet from appearing which means she can't use the moodlet manager to max out fun. Although Lindsay ended up being one of the faster immortals when it came to fulfilling the requirements, she sure didn't enjoy it.


Abel Hurd: Agh! Get those sparkles away from me. I'm allergic.


Unlike the other immortals, Lindsay actually has a comfortable amount of time to get her elder portrait, sculpture, and photograph taken care of. She has about a week to be exact before her friends start to run the risk of getting a visit from Grim. For the sake of the dynasty though, her taste buds must experience the sewage known as Food Replicator Ambrosia as quickly as possible.


A quick painting, sculpting, and photograph later and Lindsay Doe is allowed to dine on her very first helping of ambrosia, straight from the food replicator.

Lindsay: I wrote some terrible things about how this tastes in my masterpieces of how the others made it. After actually tasting it, it turns out I wasn't harsh enough.

Lindsay Doe is now immortal.
