(Pic heavy but w/spoiler) When the sims start their own story or go with yours, too well

Though he,,,(and I) isn't quite used to the gardener life first planting things out of season remembering mostly what he saw her doing rather than checking the packets first.

Though she was right, it would definitely keep him busy.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/926/28248596937_9a6fba66b3_b.jpg
Though as she storms through the house shouting forbidden words like a proud sailor it's clear it's already getting her to lose her outlet she's not sure how long she'll last much preferring to be out side, she'll stick it out for now.

Arthur is looking forward to his days as a doctor the kids won't need him much now but he can at least prepare their lunches.

Janine is good with the freedom though, having joined the social media career, funny enough Summer made a beeline for her after she finished in the bathroom, asking about a textmergency...fitting. She seems satisfied with the advice for now though her mood could still go either way.

I don't know I just think they are adorable..
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1830/29245860658_56e946cf84_b.jpg
Almost as soon as they left their parents were sick, Arthur seemed to have caught a stomach bug and his wife...well yeah, all that kissing, sharing germs look what you did...lol.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/927/28248599767_e8f773d325_b.jpg
Still, once again thinking about his youngest he seems pretty happy for man paying a three thousand dollar house payment while outside during a heatwave.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/843/29245861178_a3035cf7e9_b.jpg
As I said...it's not like he doesn't love his daughter he thinks about her too but he's really attached to Nicolas, daddy's little man I guess.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/920/28248600437_90c372f3ef_b.jpg
Sick or not she heads for the computer after a nap, she's just browsing the web but then it also suits her job don't you think?
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/29245861748_f7970e6cd1_b.jpg
Soon their kids come back and as I unpause I see that Summer is indeed having a mood swing.

"That's not good posture Summer."

"Just stop existing for five minutes would you?"

"Gee I love you too sis."

Maybe due to the fact that her brother made a friend his first day and she didn't meet anyone poor girl.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/837/28248600997_5c4d7fd929_b.jpg
At least ranting in her journal a bit helped....sort of.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1762/42418357574_11c84b11b3_b.jpg
Mostly I took this because she looked pretty it was a very chill day.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1809/41325991110_4b24b58449_b.jpg
While she tries to do better which she shows by helping out with chores on her own when Kristie isn't around she does the least she has to do she's always been lazy and spoiled.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/913/42418358844_95b88c9bc0_b.jpg
That is to say she's not all bad she would rather be browsing the web or watching television than working on her writing but at least she cares enough to make an effort when her wife is around. It's not that she doesn't love her family it's more of they are doing fine why should she care more than she has to. Yeah not the most mature but that's Megan.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1762/43137167771_cdc704464d_b.jpg
His first friend, I think she meant to shower in the rain but stopped herself...she's also a bro like him so of course she can be a friend, she's fearless ha.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1785/42418360434_3f0b301fb0_b.jpg
I was trying in vain to get a good picture of the flash so I was just watching his queue he seemed to be enjoying their little chat, until this of course.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/917/43137168471_a5f88262d7_b.jpg
He was out for a while and Troy wasn't having it, he didn't even get a call.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1764/42418361194_b75d120f75_b.jpg
Though as Danny apologizes he can't really stay mad he knows how he is about storms he won't leave the area if he doesn't have to.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1762/28267607687_0277702a7c_b.jpg
Of course he told him about this happening so he was just fine trying to wait the storm out.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/847/43137169301_21a0a4b773_b.jpg
Then this popped up he guesses their even one dazed flirt and his forgotten call.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1802/42418361884_d0520b37b5_b.jpg
But he was quick to go to bed, they were doing fine but a this wasn't the time for a baby.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1822/43137169891_50ee98649a_b.jpg
Still riled up Troy tried to work out only to hear pounding the door from the supposed noise he was livid but she was a teen he'd let it go..sort of.

"You are so lucky you're a kid you brat get out of here!"

"I'm not a kid and you're being too loud!"

"Oh stuff it."

He brushed her off needed to work out before he got into a fight.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1767/42418362474_14acc7c61b_b.jpg
He worked until he couldn't anymore.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/917/43137170491_c57e6596e3_b.jpg
Always the early riser Danny heard the noise but Troy was quick to get up so he had nothing to question.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/915/42418363034_bfac7dc26f_b.jpg
One little flirt ought to distract him enough, I really like to just watch and see what they do when I'm trying to think ahead, I can picture him trying to avoid mentioning he almost got in a fight with a teenager.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1766/43137171161_31e687ab0d_b.jpg
I let them kiss and make up for now.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1807/42418363594_2b03f68e9f_b.jpg
I got him inside and left him for a bit he got his coffee and I let him talk to this woman Aanya I think her name is I thought he met her yesterday but she's their landlord. Good time to be friendly.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1828/43137172141_6de107d065_b.jpg
Hey I was right anyhow I didn't have a thought on this it just happened he was wasting time before work, stopped by the spa for a foot massage too, he was going to go though wouldn't want to get on her bad side.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/914/42418364464_e03a56c9bb_b.jpg
Anyways...we got there and found the sim I made that I wanted him to meet Elliot isn't much for people but he's got bills to pay so he has to suck it up...still didn't think he'd be chosen for a host I dropped in another sim too could have chosen her. The game knew what I wanted at least it comes off that way.

"Hey...I like your hair."

"Really? Maybe you should tell my boss so I don't have to dye it black, table for one?"

"Two."

"Right this way."

Danny is too likeable for his own good.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/916/43137172951_c6de70c9b9_b.jpg
She was tense from the storm I imagine but I still feel she's a little miffed he doesn't realize how cute she thinks he is...not for you lady. As she calmed down I moved the camera and noticed somehow poor Elliot got zapped...see the game knows mmhmm.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/919/42418365144_3b603c1476_b.jpg
"Hey man are you okay...?"

"...Elliot..it's Elliot, I think.."

"Uh right..." still concerned as he didn't do anything for Katrina the other day he paid his bill and decided to help him out.

"Why don't I get you home?"

"You don't know...where I live...."

"I bet your ID would tell me that."

"Right...better clean up."

"Yeah....hey is everything all..bright and colorful like a box of crayons threw up in here?"

He tried to avoid laughing in any other situation he might have taken that as a joke, he waited for him to clean up in the bathroom and took him home he worked it out eventually.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/914/43137173731_0c7aa61d28_b.jpg
"Man how do you stand the rain??"

"One thought at a time...."

"Come on." he called as the sky was lit up again..missed another picture ugh.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/916/42418365714_27f1f05b44_b.jpg
After a moment he seemed to have chilled out, even more than on the silent way here mumbling directions in his zapped state.

"I'm surprised you...got me here."

"I did say I would help you."

"Not everyone says what they mean....."

"Oh..I'm Danny."

"Right, you look like a Danny."

He wasn't going to call him odd yet, he did survive a strike after all, but it still sounded a little sad, he couldn't imagine being aware of your beliefs and having to toss them out when you couldn't be sure you'd get home on your own.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1766/43137174511_fcf534c634_b.jpg
He stayed for a while mostly missing Elliot's mood swings, he wasn't a complete loner but he'd been on his own a while you had to pick and choose who to trust too blindly so most he would write off.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1783/42418366304_21a67dc37b_b.jpg
But...he didn't seem so bad.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/919/43137175601_dce04abf54_b.jpg
"Well you seem to be doing better I should get going, need me to wait for someone else to come?"

"No..I'm fine, thanks for staying this long."
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/42418367024_d67d87e564_b.jpg

They have a bit of a green bar but it was kind of in that area my sims usually reject eachother I was surprised he took the hug ever seen a caregiver reject a tot hug I have ha. Anyhoo it was very late but the storm was letting up so Danny headed home.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1829/43137176371_a80a18b433_b.jpg
I let Troy pick a bit of a fight it was almost five in the morning when he got back.

"Okay be mad it's your right I just saw another sim get zapped I was concerned I should have done something before but I didn't so..."

Troy sighed.

"You know you don't have to play hero."

"I wasn't it's just no one else cared."

"....Fine I guess."

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/919/42418367724_5872e957a2_b.jpg
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1821/43137177311_8c4fb6aaf4_b.jpg
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1809/42418368624_cc7f871181_b.jpg
And this is what I get after letting them deal with it Troy may be a meat head but he has an easier time dealing with Danny than others so he let him smooth things over but if it happened again well...guess we'll see.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1802/43137178101_05974da581_b.jpg
At least they were good when they parted ways this time.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1781/42245339735_340e521654_b.jpg
They are a very happy couple.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1824/28280322747_fec0d79895_b.jpg
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/920/28280323477_aff3bd7a2e_b.jpg
While she is working he can take care of the baby though he is a gardener so it's not like he won't contribute to funds at all, a fact that seems to have kept his wife at ease.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1787/42431204264_08d59b00c7_b.jpg
He doesn't do it constantly like he's glitched but it's like he wants everything spotless for the baby, nesting and such I don't know I think he's cute.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/836/28280324787_631c774fb2_b.jpg
Actually stopped here as I was tired but continued on, it was date night.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/836/28280326637_32f30d23c7_b.jpg
I realized I forgot to put another restaurant down but at least this gave me a chance to see that Elliot was in better spirits...then I noticed Gem fighting her umbrella outside lol.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/839/42431205854_edb9333a32_b.jpg
Just like that Elliot's mood shift, isn't that the way the baby always comes when you're not ready.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/921/28280327957_8e662f1c49_b.jpg
Of course it won't mean anything to you but I have a story brewing that ties with this so well, see he's a jealous sim he's seen too many families already I know he's lonely. As for Gem she really is the strong one ha.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/28280328517_6162dfd0f9_b.jpg
I still tend to age up babies immediately, I don't think I've ever chosen the right color off the bat but as I pre-decorated the room in orange I thought it was funny the game put him in orange...also side note I don't know why but I despise that hair... :D
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/918/42431206724_4e8d354d19_b.jpg
I let him keep the hair and left him with a tablet as it really keeps the tots occupied when the parents need to sleep, this is Dexter by the way.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1821/42431207104_368585939e_b.jpg
So cute.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/42431208404_90b2c8265c_b.jpg
She recovered though no biggie, I split the parents up to help them with their projects as I wanted them to do all their homework before Saturday's scouts meeting.

"What's the matter dad? Going over your head?"

"Yep."

"Aren't you supposed to be a doctor?"

"Yes doctor, not chemist, this is too much back in my day we glued waters together and supported it with sticks for a science project."

"And how'd that work out?"

"I failed but at least I knew what all the parts were."
ha.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1787/28280332047_009c3ac36f_b.jpg
Janine and Nicolas were having an easier time, at least it seemed that way.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1770/28280332767_0a9cd84124_b.jpg
It didn't turn out so good...

"It's important to remember at least you did your best and you'll remember this and do better next time...maybe less clay?"

"And more color, thanks for helping I don't think I could finish it by myself."

"Of course sweetie now get ready for dinner."
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1761/28280333467_6586f26208_b.jpg
After I had them try and finish up the rest of their homework Summer was mostly in good spirits having gotten over the worse of her mood swing still both she and her brother were embarassed from dropping a tray..I did that once in school kids seem to laugh forever. You know before you want to disappear uh anyways. Nicolas went right to bed when he was done but Summer needed a break with her family asleep she could control the television. I remembered he made a friend and she didn't I thought she could use one.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1785/28280334537_29f581b2a5_b.jpg
Then this popped up at least she's too tired to care right now guess I'll have to make a family with a teen for her.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1785/28280335207_9ea1b1af21_b.jpg
The next morning Arthur was in a pretty good mood, I was thinking he might be picturing when the kids were born, nothing like a hospital to brin on the baby fever....uh wait that came out wrong.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/28280335627_5036ccaf41_b.jpg
I must play too much I knew it was Max before he did.

"Here you go Max."

"I won't eat it."

"Okay you can stay sick and be unable to play with your friends at least when you just have a cold you can still go outside."

"Ugh....fiiiiiine"

He can deal with kids, I love Max he's just a brat, I didn't have a story in mind for the next thing but as he had had to talk to coworkers I had him chat with who would be above him. Turns out she's mean he said and she said hello then snapped at him a lot of my mean sims aren't as quick to get hostile.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/838/28280336337_6a9e027cd9_b.jpg
Yep..
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/833/42431211984_ea1cbbf7dd_b.jpg
There were other patients but I was about ready for bed, again and didn't think about his heart being red, then I remembered to check about treating him ah well.

"I hate you now."

"No you don't it's the weekend so you leave and get to play because of me, so there."
:)
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1821/28280337067_9ded86c1e2_b.jpg
It didn't work the first time but I guess he did have the right bit of baby fever.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1808/42431212504_e2d90521a3_b.jpg
Summer is fine with her mom bugging her mid nap for a picture of her uniform how quick it changes.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1809/28280337827_e591549c87_b.jpg
"Because you and dad are having another baby.... I need 'the talk'."

"You'll appreciate it when you're older pumpkin."
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/839/42431213184_1c3193fbed_b.jpg
While Nicolas keeps his innocence...
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1768/42431213464_ebd845e4dc_b.jpg
His sister might have died inside a little bit.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1822/28280338927_c6d6b10847_b.jpg
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/835/28280339637_909f19303a_b.jpg
Ah well that's family.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1825/28290382067_c8cd587fb8_b.jpg
Though I found that while I haven't been here she is much closer to Doodle than her own daughter and mostly Kristie appears to be her favorite parent. I don't think she has lost love for her daughter but there is something there that is off.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1781/28290383197_96eeb07804_b.jpg
I was surprised Hannah was so determined to wake up Megan after her nightmare, as you see I canceled it before but let her go.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1786/28290383637_073948d0c6_b.jpg
Megan was livid but she couldn't really yell at her as if she understood the problem.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/844/28290384147_c1516d0367_b.jpg
At least she could take it out on her bear...she's on autopilot right now this is one of those times that Hannah is just Kristie's daughter.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1766/28290384647_c113b47068_b.jpg
Though of course this only goes when Kristie isn't watching after a trip to the bathroom which Hannah wanted to join her on...tots ha, she was safe with her favorite mama.

"Ah what's my little princess doing out of bed? Did you have a nightmare sugar? Time for a story." Hannah could only talk so much but her mood was obvious.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1783/28290385007_6a9b98332b_b.jpg
From here I don't know...Megan might chill out guess we'll see.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/914/29288642368_bd27899755_b.jpg
He wakes up cheery at the thought of being able to make a new enemy though...what I tell you ah well if that's what he wants.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1824/43110136832_6e49cec054_b.jpg
We didn't have to wait long for her to come out, I love Akira but he is such a...I don't even know he doesn't want to get involved he just wants to see what's going on.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/843/29288642878_64c1d73fe3_b.jpg
Lol, almost immediately after he won the fight and went upstairs, I guess Akira is afraid of crossing him at least it seems that way it was about time for Danny to get up so he got to deal with them.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1821/43110137792_23cf60550c_b.jpg
Miko looks so hateful...
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/836/29288643588_ef1c0ace7f_b.jpg
And that just brightens Troy's day.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1761/43110138912_c5fc07ccf4_b.jpg
And look who showed up late to the late welcome, I love their 'who in the fresh heavens is that?' look...see I censored myself.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1824/28290393997_ccde8f5761_b.jpg
"Sorry I'm late, I've been busy as you know."

"You're busy and I know it? I'm not sure who you are I've been busy."

"Don't know, why I'm Penny and I'm right outside your balcony window."

"What....?"

"Oh it's okay I'll show you, I know it can be a lot to meet a celeb in a day."

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/844/43110139672_373e0f6753_b.jpg
Danny almost had something to say but then there she was.

"Oh I..we haven't set up anything back here guess I never noticed."

"Now you have and you'll think of me often I'm sure, well I brought you a little gift, don't worry it was nothing, just enjoy it."

He could hardly get a word in edge wise.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/843/28290394547_abe3273060_b.jpg
"This cake...is dry you should have used some of that subscriber money to get some cooking lessons."

"Huh what a helpful suggestion, you know what else is dry? My foot up your backside, shut it."

heh.

The guys were smart, just smile and pretend you hear nothing.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1808/43110140712_c77c07e3d8_b.jpg
Though he wasn't hungry it was kind of like he needed something to wash that awful fruitcake flavor out of his mouth.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1765/28290395137_7eea800d98_b.jpg
Then as Diego came to chat...of course we didn't go he hates her and it's too much work to be the bigger person in a fight...for him anyways.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/918/28290395607_bc308fc860_b.jpg
So the humor and hijinks festival was in again and I had gone not too long ago with Kristie and Megan and again Geoffrey was there to take most of the slack...also I love Troy's hot weather outfit.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1770/28290396147_293698109d_b.jpg
Troy wasn't going to let a little rain stop his fun.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/841/28290396617_a4f0a21738_b.jpg
His team won, he got some extra money but Danny refused to hug him...probably had something to do with him smelling like rotten fishcakes and sadness.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/842/42456485984_0f60ca092e_b.jpg
Poor Miko probably thinks she's the one getting those looks, but Danny just knows that Elliot wants to talk to him, not now but later.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1766/28304835147_8ee37c6154_b.jpg
I feel like he doesn't want to believe that they are together, Danny was kind to him, surely that meant something well he's not even sure of that but then most people brush him aside. Whether that's his fault or not he won't say but the rest of the party he's not in a particularly good mood.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1766/43124781302_593e8518f2_b.jpg
Now while he's trying to remain the life of the party he is clearly concerned, though he doesn't know what Troy told him so for all he knows he's just worried about being struck by lightning again. Now he feels bad and is thinking he'll have to take him home again.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1790/28304836417_fd7b51d22d_b.jpg
To make matters worse he couldn't make it to the bathroom in time, I think he had fun the first part but now..not so much poor guy ever make a sim you just love, one of those for me is Elliot here.

He told Troy while he finished partying that he would take him home not that he cared just then, Elliot got cleaned up and decided to mope see...I just have to watch them.

"Still scared of the storm Elliot?"

"...Why?"

"Why? Well because you got struck before..."

"No why didn't you tell me you were married?"

"Oh that, it just didn't come up things haven't been so good for us I guess."

"...."

"Don't stay in here and pout come out and talk to me."

"I don't want to talk to you, you led me on."

"I did not...at least I don't think."

Danny is booksmart in a lot of ways, loves to be challenged but sometimes is kinder nature gets him into trouble at least it appears that way to those that don't really know him because some of his actions go over his head. He's loveable though.

Finally getting him to join him he lets him vent.

"Don't be mad I'm sorry I can be too friendly and come off as I'm doing what I don't mean...and it's not an excuse I just don't really pay much attention Troy is the one that pointed it out."

"...."

"Forgive me?"

"I guess...it's fine I'm the simpleminded one."

"No you aren't, it's just the drinks talking, why don't I stay over huh? Keep you company?"

"Won't your husband be mad?"

"Notice he didn't even bat an eye when I said I'd get you home?"

"...Whatever do what you want."

He can see it in his eyes he knows he wanted him to stay, hopeless muffin just wont say so.

Danny is the cook so I had him make something special for Elliot, he didn't have to worry about Troy eating without him home while he was guilty of wanting cake for breakfast...(you know how free will is about that ha..and yes I love it) Troy would go for the healthier option.

Again his thoughts on the nameless couple's happiness he woke up in a bit of a bad mood, it was hard to be alone.

Even though it's censored I feel like it changed the scene too much so yeah....he changed into his nude wear..I didn't have a story for that but it did make me think he was trying to get to Danny since he freely said things weren't well..and sometimes they aren't. Anyways....

"Uh hope you don't mind I made us breakfast."

"It's cool, looks good thanks." he said flatly.

"Are you okay..?"

"Yeah...fine I'm just not much of a morning person."

"Not still upset are you?"

"Well I guess." he almost swore at himself for that, he guessed the other was too easy to talk to part of the problem.

"So talk to me."

"It's not about the party, just something else that happened the other day at work."

"Yeah?"

"This couple came in looks like they were about to welcome their child into the world reminded me how empty this house is."

Now Danny hadn't been expecting that, but he expected the next part even less.

"It got me thinking about you...but since we're just friends and all, think you could I don't know....be my donor?"

Quite different than the usual breakfast talk yep.

They ate in silence while Elliot mentally reprimanded himself for that, what a load to drop off on someone that early, he felt emptier the longer Danny stayed quiet. THough after he showered and got dressed Danny surprised him too.

"You know it's a big decision but I'm not saying no, I'll think about it."

"Really...?" he asked hopefully.

There he went getting himself in trouble again.

"Yeah, I do want kids but I don't think it's the time for Troy and I...oh yeah I have a picture for you and if you decide you hate or like me when I decide you can throw it out or something."

Whether he said yes or no Elliot was happy to get a picture of him.
