Chapter 1.8 - We're Seeing Double!

So last we left off, Auro had just turned into a teenager. The school was so crowded that non of the kids could go to school. I decided to move them then to a new Hidden Springs. First thing I noticed was that the four older ones were not related to the rest of the family anymore. I tried to modify this with MC but they were not pulling up in the list. Weird. Then as I had the list open, I noticed I had two of every one in the house. I didn't think much of this but did note it. Another thing, Auro lost the credit for the 10 critters he had captured, starting his LTW all over again, so we had to let them all go. I was hoping he could recapture them, but they just disappeared.

Auro seemed to take letting all his pets go okay. He headed down to his bedroom and worked on his dart skills.

Raz and Jenny seemed to be okay with the move as well, and even celebrated the move with a little woohoo.

Or so I thought that is what was going to happen. I was making sure it was not a TFB, but with Raz hating children, I didn't really think I had to worry. All of a sudden Raz jumps out of bed like she is shocked about something, and then runs screaming out the door. I was dying! WTF! Guess that killed the mood, they never did woohoo.

Aww I guess he was more sad than he let on about letting his critters go! Poor guy!

Jenny has the kids home, and has a new reason to bitch at them. She starts in on Arsenic right away.

It was Sunday, so Auro headed over to the community pool to take a dip. He's not very graceful!

After that little belly flop, it was time to start back up on the LTW, so we head out critter hunting.

We got about 3 done before it was time to head home and go to bed. *Note* I do realize now after rereading everything I said I was going to roll for their LTW's. I did not do this with Auro, I totally forgot. I will try and remember for the next heir. I did do it from here on out with the older kids, not that it matters.

The next day was school, so the kids all piled up in the bus and headed off. Once to school we saw a big problem.

Double Aliens!

I thought well crap! There is the reason for the doubles in MC! So I thought I'd be smarter than the game and take clone Alien into CAS and change him up. I changed his looks, his name, traits, favorites, all of it, and came up with this guy.

Amaranth: You changed the wrong Alien. The guy next to Auro is the imposter!
Well shit!

So now with the real Alien not Alien anymore, I deleted the hood. Next stop Sunset Valley! So I took a few days and changed up all the NPC's and Townies to make them all colorful. At first I changed up all the names as I was doing them, but then about halfway through I was like "No, I want them to be actual Sunset Valley guys. Deleted that hood and started over. Got them all done, moved in these guys, started building a new house and saved and quit. I noticed again I couldn't add the others as relatives. The next day I started reading about Total Annihilation and how to do it, and I though, Hmmm maybe I should just try that instead of moving them. I headed back to my original Hidden Springs, total annihilated everyone but the family and the cute maid, then moved these guys into the new house I had just started making. No lag? Check. No doubles? Check. Everyone is related still? Check. Auro has 10/20 of his LTW? No check. Well shit. I decided to live with that little thing and see how they played and how the world played.

Aureolin: I approve, we can do things like this here!
Ah seems autonomous is working a bit better. They are not all standing around waiting to be told what to do.

Right away I sent Auro out looking for critters, we were now on our third time collecting the first half. We did find a tortoise this time though!

Back home, the horndogs have to test out the new move with woohoo. Seems to be their thing.

In Auro's bed though, really? You have your own room!

Raz: His is more comfortable.
Whatever, he's going to find out.

Auro got his first bite from a critter, not counting the raccoon.

Auro: In my bed? Really that is just gross Mom!
Told you he'd find out.

After he washed the sheets he put his day's worth of collecting away.

I gave the kids some new toys around the new house. Alien found the soccer ball the next morning and started playing with that. The Amaranth found the baseball. Aureolin got pissed off because they were playing while he was trying to sleep, baby it was like 10!

Time to find out if the school is still jammed. It wasn't. Well it was by the Crayola's but that was it for now. Man you can tell they are all related!

Amaranth made Honor Roll and then came home and played catch with Raz for hours. this is the most I've seen them interact ever!

Auro headed into his room after school and messed around some more with his critters. He really likes playing with them.

It was Raz and Jenny's 2 year anniversary! Raz freaks out because she forgot. I think Jenny forgot too, so it didn't matter.

*Note* all the moves had reset Raz's LTW also, she is still working on that damn blogging! Oh wait, now I'm blogging! Oh no!

Jenny is still a level 4 in the military field. I think she got a promotion sometime while I played tonight, but it was at the same time as the kids went to prom so I was just clicking notifications off and I think I clicked it.  *End Note*

We had a birthday! Alien Armpit is finally becoming a YA! But first he gets in trouble for missing school.

Once aged up, he gets a job and heads on out to his own house.

Taxi Train!

Prom night came and the kids headed off for the limo. The started running, and running and running. There was no limo! They finally gave up and took taxi's to prom. Not the ones up above!

Not one of them got prom king or queen. None had dates either.

After prom it was time to get more critters, so Auro heads off and starts hunting some more.

Then we had more birthdays! This time Arsenic and Aureolin.

Both of the boys got jobs and moved out after that.

After that it was Leisure Day, so Auro headed down to the festival. He got his face painted and let off fireworks, but other than that it was pretty lame. Not one other person besides the concession workers showed up. And his nachos disappeared!

Leaving the festival we head out to go find more critters and come across this bird. Beautiful! We had to have it!

Stupid EA and their spawner issues! We couldn't get it.

That is it for now! Lets hope the disappearing nacho's isn't the start of something already.
