TheYayToast's Random Thread - Playing through the new Werewolf pack

I married one of my spares to @MaggieMarley 's Oly Straud... the grandson of Vlad and a mermaid named Caly. Caly was created by @Queenarella .

Oly and his wife Breana have three children now. The third being Briella. And... well... I adore Briella! She's soooo cute.

Thank you for tagging me so I can follow!

Briella is adorable <3 I already downloaded her from the gallery :D hahaha most of Vlad's mermaid descendants in my game got Vlad's nose in their mer form too. I kinda like that because it's a reminder of where (or rather who) they come from. I think she's cute in her mer form, even with the Straud nose :)

I'm glad you like her! I can't believe how cute and chubby cheeked she is!

That's a really cute idea! They all have that little reminder of their founder. Even if he's a weirdo that shouldn't wear speedos.

Hi everyone... I present to you today, a random short story about the current prince of Braedoria.

Logan Darling was on a mission... he needed five signatures to repeal the NAP for his beloved neighborhood. And ultimately, he needed the permission of the Braedorian royal family to change the local constitution. He'd never really set foot in the castle before. The contact he had with his father, the late King was at the farm.

Honestly, he wasn't impressed. The old place was kind of run down by this point. His father had died years ago leaving the kingdom without a king. His father had produced only one heir with his wife. Logan's half sister, Eden. Eden had been a lovely woman, but by the time the king passed away... she felt she was much too old to take the throne.

That left the task to one of her two children, Juliana or Collin. Juliana was a high maintenance princess that ended up ditching her responsibilities by instead marrying the bottom run celebrity, Dustin Broke. That meant, the task was left in the hands of the young prince Collin.

Eden passed away before Collin could even take the throne, leaving the kingdom in the hands of some plummy regents. And that's where we are... with the kingdom in shambles and the castle sketchy.

The guards weren't happy about letting Logan in, but it's not like it was a secret that he was the son of the late king.

Logan ducked as a bat flew over his head. What was wrong with this castle?! The young prince walked over to greet the uncle he had never met.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_001.jpg

COLLIN: Can I help you, Sir? I was told you wanted to talk to me?

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_002.jpg

Logan took a good look at the prince and looked around.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_004.jpg

LOGAN: I'm Logan Darling. I came to get your signature for a NAP repeal, but I think there's bigger problems here... are you okay?

COLLIN: I don't think that's any of your business.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_005.jpg

Logan raised his eyebrow.

LOGAN: Listen kiddo, I know we haven't met... but I'm your uncle. The king was my father. I know your advisors told you who I was or I wouldn't be in here. Your mother was a wonderful woman, I'm sorry she's gone and she left you here all alone. I got along really great with her and I know she'd want me to make sure her son is doing well. So what's going on?

COLLIN: I... I've been poisoned.

LOGAN: Oh. That's not good. How?

COLLIN: The doctor's say it was spider venom.

Logan winced. Spider toxin was deadly in a lot of cases. He'd recently read a story about a young child that nearly died of one in Selevadora. Pretty much Collin was looking at a death sentence.

LOGAN: Alright Collin, don't worry. I'll get you a cure.

COLLIN: What? How?

LOGAN: Just trust me. I got this.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_007.jpg

A few days later and a lot of research later, Logan returned to the castle. The prince was looking even worse than ever.

And it wasn't just his Watcher awful taste in swim wear.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_008.jpg

LOGAN: Hey, how you holding up?

COLLIN: Not too well.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_009.jpg

COLLIN: I'm assuming you didn't find anything. I'm doomed. It's okay... I understand.

LOGAN: Stop being so over dramatic.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_010.jpg

LOGAN: I got you this.

COLLIN: A flower?

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots2_011.jpg

LOGAN: This is a death flower. I'm going to head down to Selevadora to find the antidote... but this is a little insurance policy. If I don't make it in time, give this to the Grim Reaper.

COLLIN: You want me to woo him?

LOGAN: You can't be that sick if you're cracking jokes. He'll take this as a bribe. They are exceedingly rare. Grim will give you a little more time until I can get back.

COLLIN: Why are you going through all this work for me?

LOGAN: Cause you're family.

Yeah... I don't know why the castle I downloaded off the gallery has all the creepy crawley stuff from Selevadora... but uh... it does and apparently Collin got bit by something and poisoned. Eeeep. I don't want him to die... he's literally a teenager living by himself in a castle. That's a whole story right there.

I uploaded him to the gallery... Gosh he is the skinniest stick ever!

Here's a couple more pics:

So I went with Liliana as my heir... she married a guy named Donall and they had twins. A girl named Dana and a boy named Barrett. Brownie points for anyone that gets the joke...

Dana:

So what do you think of my Dana Barrett? They are both super cute, but they gave sort of glitched eyes? I can't change their eye color even with cas.fulleditmode on... So I'm gonna say they are some sort of magical. Maybe Liliana shouldn't have convinced while under the influence of either a golden chicken or evil chicken egg? Who knows.

Love the short story and Collin is handsome! I had a sim get bitten by a spider recently and she managed to recover on her own but it's good to have a death flower to hand just in case!

Darn it, I wish I got the joke behind the twins' names but I don't :D I agree that they're both cute! That's really weird about their eyes, could it be to do with using CC eyes or something? I haven't had that in my game.

@MaggieMarley It's a Ghostbusters reference. Dana Barrett was the love interest. :D Those names actually came out in the random roller too! Like I got Dana, then was like okay that's good... when the boy came, I clicked a couple times and it was like Barrett. I knew it was destiny.

I have no idea on the eyes. I even tried removing my CC to see if that helped, but I still wasn't able to pull up the color picker. Very weird.

I remember! That's why I was like... oh dear, I better save this poor guy. Cause I remember Lori getting bit and that it was deadly. I actually didn't even know the bites were deadly until you mentioned it!!!

Collin has actually gotten worse...

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshot-2021-10-04-233919.jpg

Yup. He's doomed if I don't get him that antidote. I moved him into the household to keep an eye on his progress... poor guy.

@MaggieMarley I promise I'll respond tomorrow. <3

Dana and Barrett aged up!

@TheYayToast oh Ghostbusters! I have seen that but not since I was a kid so I didn't remember :D that's so cool that the randomiser came up with those names too :o

About the eyes: I remember I had a glitch with not being able to change my child sim's eyebrow colour ages ago but it fixed itself when they aged up so maybe this is similar? Not sure if I have the same glitch in my game as I've not tried to change any child sims' eye colour recently.

See, I was the opposite: I thought that getting bit was always deadly so I freaked out and thought Lori was doomed lol. But it turns out that it only sometimes turns into a poisoned moodlet.

Ah so Collin didn't recover on his own :( you should be able to buy him the antidote on the computer unless you feel that's too cheaty! Otherwise, it could be fun to look for bone dust in Selvadorada for one of the locals to make the antidote. Or just give Grim that death flower if worst comes to worst!

I guess I'm a liar. Sorry for the late response.

I don't know. It's very strange but not awful glitch, so I can live with it. Another glitch I'm getting is that my Sims age up to Teen and have the crow's feet wrinkles. Like why are you guys aging up to old folks??? I thought that was fixed in a patch a while back? I never had the problem until recently.

Nope. Collin didn't recover on his own. Poor guy.

I actually had the family go to Selvadorada to get the cure. I had Logan use his final days to get the cure for Collin. It's a rather good story if you think of it... the illegitimate son of the king having to save the crown prince. :D

Lovely to see pictures of Dana and Barrett as teens. They are both really cute. I love Dana's whole look - especially that lipstick on her. And Barrett is very handsome <3

They are both adorable! Dana has very pinched lips, but they work on her well. The lipstick is actually the MAC super duper bright pink turned down just slightly. I was figuring since she's sort of geeky she'd have an odd sense of fashion.

I wanted to dress the twins still pretty similar. They are both geeks.

Dana: Geek, Child of the Ocean. Aspiration: Purveyor of Potions.

Barrett: Outgoing, Geek. Aspiration: Master Chef.

Darling Daring Adventures!
Part 1:

Prince Collin wasn't going to recover on his own and the circumstances of his illness were too suspicious to assume anyone in the castle could be trusted to find the cure. That left the illegitimate son of the late king to ensure the royal family lived on.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_001.jpg

The Darling family arrived in Selavadora, but it soon became apparent to Logan that his family weren't cut out for adventuring.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_002.jpg

So Logan got some information and supplies from the locals, then headed into the jungle.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_003.jpg

He hacked his way through the jungle until he found the ruins said to contain the cure.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_008.jpg

The journey took three days, but he had a nice tent and portable fire pit.

He also lacked some common sense and planted the fire pit right next to the tent... Ya know, the cloth tent.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_010.jpg

Yeah... Don't worry, we'll pretend that didn't happen, Logan.

https://theyaytoast.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/screenshots99_011.jpg

Seriously Logan?!
