6 Sims Under One Roof, Please Tell Me I'm Not Insane!!!

It's suddenly struck me. There are now officially.... SIX Sims living under one roof!!!
OMG!!!

I'm not insane... I'm not insane.... I'm NOT insane!!!

Anyways, silly moment over, and now back to the update.
Rhonda was still pissed off at the fact that she's far behind in her quest to achieve her LTW, Master Thief. So, after putting Timothy down for his nap, and getting a good night's sleep, she hopped onto the treadmill to lose those vital few inches off her waistline.



"I'll shed these pounds," I hear her grumbling, "if it darned well KILLS me. And I swear, I'm tying a knot in it too."

Gareth in the meantime, realises that the workload of Nanny Katie's has just increased, so he decides to get up early and start dinner for .... himself. He feels it's necessary to only cater for himself. That way if it burns badly, he's not putting anybody else at risk.




I mean seriously. It's Fruit Parfait. What can POSSIBLY go wrong with Fruit Parfait???? It's not as if you can overcook the damned thing!!!

So, whilst Gareth's taken over the kitchen, let's check on everyone.
Katie is busy gathering the fruits and veggies from the garden. Oh my, that's quite a lot of trees and shrubs you've got there. One hell of a thriving garden to be honest with you.




Alice is concentrating on her painting skills. She's currently in her .... um... not quite sure WHAT 'mode' she's in judging by that dazzling array of colours there. Perhaps .... Pop Art - Sims style??



Needless to say, when it was completed, a private valuer checked it out and slapped on a 275 Simolean price tag - should she wish to sell it at some point. Being honest here though, I highly doubt she's wanting to sell ANY of her paintings ... yet. She's grown fond of each and every single one of them.

When Peter isn't waiting to be fed, or playing with his toys, he's sound asleep in his crib.





Speaking of which, Joshua isn't too happy with the sleeping arrangements. He feels he's stuck in a kindergarten dormitory and grumbles at the fact that Alice has her own room.



We've tried to reason with him and tell him it's just not right for Alice to share a room with her brothers. She'll be growing up soon and her own private space will be a higher priority.

I fear though, that Joshua is going through a mini crisis of his own.
Firstly, desperate for attention, he asks the maid (yes, they're still a-visiting) if she didn't mind playing catch with him. She thought he was cute, but had to decline as she was very busy (actually, it popped up that there wasn't enough room to play catch on the lot).



Then he approached his dad, who instantly freaked out, making Joshua wonder what the hell he'd done to deserve this family of his.




"All I want is a game of catch," he wonders glumly, "it's not much to ask now... is it?"

Kinda makes you feel sorry for the little fella, until you realise that under that innocence, there beats the heart of a nasty, evil little mind. Plus, one of his wishes is to Skip School. Starting to rebel at an early age now, isn't he? And I thought we'd have problems when he reached his teens!!!

Bored out of his wits he decided to go swimming at the local pool....
... in his pyjamas!!!




Um, yeah, never mind Rhonda and Gareth wishing for him to become a Genius, Eccentric... or Inappropriate is a better bet here.

He was hoping to see kids of his own age here, but was stuck with what he regarded the 'almost senile' group of folks. He hoped that at least one of them could teach him how to swim, but decided not to bother and plunged in anyways.



Good job too, he's a natural at it.





Wondering who this guy is?




Skip Broke.
Yep THAT guy, who was drowned in a swimming pool accident right at the beginning of Sims2.
Perhaps he should stay well away from these kinds of areas?

I almost forgot to tell you about Timothy.
His traits are:

Genius
Eccentric (tends to have very odd sleeping patterns, can sometimes sleep for a couple of hours, but then he'll fit in practically half a day without waking up)

Favourite Food: Cookies
Favourite Music: Egyptian
Favourite Colour: Blue

Star Sign: Virgo

Sorry, no pics yet, but here are a few gratuitous pics of Gareth and Peter....
altogether now.....
