Chapter 3

I was going through an old folder in a folder, that was in another folder and found my Chasing Wishes save, which is from (according to Chapter 2) the day that Supernatural came out last year.  I can’t believe it’s still floating around!  I am missing a ton of CC, but have added every single EP that has come out since.  The two chapters have switched blogs a couple of times, and the broken Chapter 2 is now all fixed (the last switch broke all the images).

Let’s see if we can’t get this done.

Recap – Luke Ugli moved to Bridgeport to become a One Sim Band.  He made a couple of friends, flirted with some girls, but he set his sights on, and eventually married, Bianca Rubble.  Together they have one daughter, Lark.  The last time I played this save, she had just aged up to child…that was 16 months ago.

Chapter 2

Screenshot-138

Bianca chose to take the subway to the hospital.  I really need to delete those damn things.

Screenshot-140

I really, really don’t understand his passion for Formal wear.  Anyway, meet Lark Ugli.  Our first baby and maybe only child for this challenge.

Screenshot-142

Luke: Lark, I am your father!

Screenshot-143

 

Screenshot-144

Screenshot-145

Luke is trying out for father of the year…and succeeding.  He LOVES his little girl.

Screenshot-146

We are still getting wishes done, but it’s been awhile since I have played, so we will just gloss over them since I won’t always be able to tell what they are.  This one is obviously play piano in the park though.

Screenshot-147

Our first babysitter.  Luke did not want to go to work today.  He wanted to play with the baby.

Screenshot-149

Bianca:  My turn!

Screenshot-150

Bianca:  *ahem*  My turn!  Luke, move.  I want to hold my daughter too!

Luke:  Daughter?  What daughter?  I don’t have no daughter!

Bianca:  Quit hiding the baby and let me hold her too!

Luke:  My baby!  Go away!

Bianca:  I have wishes too!

Screenshot-152

Like take Larky for a stroll!

Screenshot-153

And go on a date, but no babysitters.  Larky can come too.

~Now that she has her paws on the baby, she won’t put her down.  *dies*

Screenshot-155

Luke: Fine. Now let’s get on with my wishes, shall we dear?

Bianca:  What one are we talking about?

I will tell you now, his over-emotional self is so adorable.  Everything makes him cry.  It’s so cute.

Screenshot-168

Screenshot-169Screenshot-170Screenshot-171

I didn’t want you to think Lark was left at home. She was on hand to be their witness.

————————-

Screenshot-174

Umm..where you goin’?

For a quick stroll.  We’ll be back shortly.  I want some quality time with my wife. *wink*

Screenshot-175

Luke:  We better hurry, hon.  I’m about to pass out.

~Oh, if you can’t tell, I took it upon myself and re-traded houses with Beau.  They are back in Luke’s original house.  I couldn’t take the high rise anymore. ~

Here is mommy’s birthday girl!

Screenshot-177Screenshot-179

I can tell why Luke is always smothering her.  Daddy’s girl!  I might change her eyebrows, those are pretty manly.

Screenshot-180

Luke gains a level on the drums, while our workout fanatic does this all day long.

Screenshot-186

Pillow fights are always wished for.  Keeps them happy.

Screenshot-189

So, Bianca is out for a midnight jog and the halo caught my attention.  Anyone know why she has this??

Screenshot-191

Oddly enough, it’s mommy that has the first wish for skilling.

Screenshot-192

Luke just wants woohoo, all the time.  No baby wishes, so I am not forcing them to have any more.

Screenshot-195

Daddy got 1,000 points for potty training like a boss.

Screenshot-197

Luke:  I am DaDa.  Can you say DaDa?
Lark:  No!  WANT MAMA!

Screenshot-198

Lark: Mama!

Bianca:  Who’s the smartest little girl ever?  Yes, you are.

Screenshot-199

How about a bit of mother-daughter adorableness?   I think this is the cutest family ever.

Screenshot-201

Lark:  Look, Mommy!  A three-headed a llama!

Screenshot-202

Lark:  Look, Mommy!  It’s following us!  Can I have it?

Bianca:  I don’t even think so.

Screenshot-205

Bianca wanted to find a star, so that’s what she spent the night doing.

Screenshot-206

I always put books out for my toddlers, but this is the first time I have had a parent choose to read to one.  I was all kinds of awwww about this.

Screenshot-209

Lark is best friends with both her parents.  When Luke is with Lark, mom is probably at work and vice versa.  She is never left alone for long.  If they want to go somewhere, Lark goes too.  They have only had a babysitter that one time.

Screenshot-210

Daddy’s girl is a virtuoso too.

~Gives Lark squishees!~

Screenshot-215

This picture really does say it all.

Screenshot-219

His #1 fan went with him to play piano in the park.  She didn’t get an IF, so I quickly stuck a bear in her inventory.

Screenshot-220

She played quietly while he gained a piano level.  At this point all of her skills are done, but I chose not to age her up early.

Screenshot-221

It was Luke’s turn to take Lark on a stroll.

Screenshot-225

Bianca wanted you to know that she does still work..lol

Screenshot-226

Lark: Daddy.  Down.  Mama’s home!

Screenshot-227

Luke:  You didn’t call at lunch.  I was worried.
Bianca:  I had a meeting.  They promoted me.

Screenshot-231

Luke:  I’m not sure that I am ready for her to grow up yet.

Screenshot-237

Bianca:  Tomorrow we will enroll you in school.  Maybe try out some ballet too.  What do you think, Lark?
Lark:  Shhh!  Must. watch. tv.

Screenshot-238

Lark:  Just kidding!  Sounds like a great idea.

Screenshot-239
Screenshot-240Screenshot-242
Screenshot-243

Lark:  You can open your eyes now, Mom.  The scary part is over.

Screenshot-244Screenshot-245Screenshot-247

Lark:  For a cop, mom sure can be a scaredy cat!

Screenshot-251Screenshot-252

And that my friends, is how the Ugli Family spent their weekend.   Seriously.  The fun never ends at the Ugli house.

Okay, there was exercise for Bianca and instrument skilling for Luke, but still…this is the majority of the weekend.

Screenshot-255

Then there was an epic battle.

Screenshot-258

A fit of giggles cost Lark the battle.

Screenshot-262

But Bianca was there to take revenge on the dastardly daddy!

Screenshot-264

Wow.  That girl needs a makeover!   But..skilling shots.  Proof that they do other things too.

While they workout and increase bass level, Lark finally got off the couch and put away the stockpile of old newspapers and then cleaned the dirty dishes and bathroom.  Poor girl.

Until next time my friends.  I ran out of pics and I caught up to gameplay!  Will Lark stay best friends with the parents?  Will Luke ever reach his LTW?  Will there ever be more babies?   Will Lark finally get her own room and stop sharing with the car?  Will the questions ever end?  lmao.

Walmart was sold out of Supernatural yesterday morning which sucked bad.  Hubby gets off at 4am (20 min from now) and he said he would check again this morning.  So, about 2 hrs until Supernatural (might be) in hand.  Lark is going to be a fairy or something cool.  I have wanted this since she was born and haven’t played the family since in preparation, same with my Vinson family.  A family that raises unicorns needs a fairy!

Chapter 1

Screenshot-3

Luke:  We better get going.  I want to get a job in the music business first thing.

Luke got in a cab and stopped five seconds later to take the subway just to get in a cab for a second.  I love/hate Bridgeport.  I might delete all the subways at one point.  I can you tell you now, upgrading my computer 100% still doesn’t have this town running nice at all.  I hope I can deal with this.

Screenshot-5

Now that I have been hired, let’s go talk about my new job.  I choose the busty blonde. *eyebrow wiggle*

Of course you do.   I aim to please.

Screenshot-6

He wanted to learn her sign and we found that he is compatible with her being a Scorpio.  She has been put on the potential spouse list, if he so chooses one.

Screenshot-8

He wanted to meet a vampire and Beau Merrick just happened to be right there.

Screenshot-9

They chatted for a bit and then he wished to be friends with him.  So, they chatted for quite a bit longer.  He then wanted to be best friends with him.

Screenshot-10

Unfortunately, Beau passed out before best friend status could be even thought of.  He then decided he wanted to pillow fight with him.   He got up soon after and took off.

Screenshot-11

Luke decided he wanted to jam with another person.  Luckily, there were several people there starting a jam up.  He joined in and immediately wished to jam with people.   Oookay.

Screenshot-12

I had him stop and then start up again.  Now he wants to start up a band.    What is it with me and bands lately?  I have never had one before and now I have two in a 24-hour period.  Oh well.

Screenshot-14

I don’t play Bridgeport often enough to know these people by sight.  I think this is Ace Wilde and he is our first band member.

Screenshot-17

He randomly wanted to know this chick’s sign. It took a while to get her to warm up to poor Luke.   We will later find out that she is Beau Merrick and that Bianca’s roommate.

Screenshot-18

Luke was tired and hungry, but he did last long enough to be able to ask her sign without her getting ticked off.  They did end up being compatible.  He went home soon after to eat and sleep.

——————–

Screenshot-20

The next morning, he wanted to buy a bass, play the bass and play the guitar.   Well, the only thing he could do was play the guitar.  We found a couple of butterfly spawners near the house.  He was sent to catch them and sell them.  He has now added $30 to his $15.

——————

Screenshot-21

That afternoon, Luke took off for his first day of work.  The fact that the game fast forwards while he was there amused my kid endlessly while my hubby was in the background making fun of everyone.   Since he hate sims, for him to even acknowledge they exist (even to make fun of them) is a pretty interesting thing.

After work, he went home and called up Beau and asked him to come over.

—————

Screenshot-22

Since he is not marriage material (and straight), I gave Beau a much needed makeover.  He was so gross and nasty before.  Oh wait.  I didn’t change his facial hair color.

Screenshot-23

There we go.

Luke:  So, I invited you over to ask if you wanted to pillow fight.  I mean, it’s not a manly thing to do or anything, but whatever.  Just try not to kill me with your super strength.

Screenshot-24

Luke got in the first hit and proceeded to laugh at Beau.  Beau was slightly amused.

Screenshot-25

Then got his revenge.

Luke:  Super strength!  Tone down the super strength!  Don’t break me, it’s only day two!

Screenshot-26

They took about two seconds to catch their breath, and for Luke to finally be best friends with a vampire.

Screenshot-28

Luke thought the next hit would be his last one.  Beau thought it was hysterical, but not Luke.  He quickly wished for a drink (LMAO).  Him and Beau would pile into Beau’s junk car and head to the nearest night spot.

Screenshot-30

While there, he got rid of his play the piano and play the bass wishes!  He now wants to start his first romance.

~I was not expecting that so soon.  Must be the hopeless romantic trait.~

Screenshot-32

Several people stopped to watch him for a bit.  He had joined that guy in a jam and got another wish fulfilled.  He wasn’t tired yet, but he was starting to starve.

Screenshot-35

Luke: I can haz eatz?

Well, you are right there and you want bar food.  Go for it!

Screenshot-36

After his tummy was happy, he went on a mate  hunt.  He got acquainted with several ladies, and some not so lady-like ladies.  Please don’t make me remember their names.

Screenshot-41

No matter who he chatted up, no one was interested in pool Luke.

Screenshot-42

He wandered off to grab this bluebird while trying to decide what to do next.  The bird brought in a little bit of much needed cash.

Screenshot-44

He really thought this one was a winner.

 Screenshot-45
Screenshot-46

They seemed to get along nicely.   But like all things, never judge a book by it’s cover.  It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Screenshot-47

She completely flipped out.  Me and Luke took off running.  Hopefully she doesn’t find out where he lives.

Screenshot-48

He went home in the wee hours.  It became apparent that the thought the whole night ended up being rubbish.

———————–

While he was asleep, the bass was finally bought and that wish was granted.  I just forgot a pic of it with the walls up..LOL.

————————

Screenshot-50

Beau invited him over for a party.  Luke didn’t really wish to attend, but he knew that there might be girls there and he did need to find his first romance still.  Unfortunately, his first encounter with an elevator was not a good one, but now Luke wants to move to a high rise building.

Screenshot-51

Finding Bianca there was a stroke of luck.  They danced the night away.


Screenshot-53Screenshot-56

I think he was mesmerized by her ginormous…eyes.

Screenshot-57

He asked her if she was single and she did reply that she was.

Screenshot-58

I tried to get him to flirt with her, but he ignored me and made silly faces.  The fact that she did it back was all the encouragement he needed.

Screenshot-59

Flirt was tried and accepted.  He wants to take her out on a date now.

Screenshot-60

He spent his hard earned cash on a bouquet for her.

Screenshot-61

If you were wondering about the party, Beau was asleep the whole time.  Lilly Bo (or whatever) Chique was there.  Luke didn’t find out until later that they were all roommates and he was the only party guest.

Screenshot-62

When Beau did finally manage to get up, he tried to plot the best course to travel the mountains of Bianca with Luke.

Screenshot-63

Too bad, Beau, Luke plans to travel them globes all alone.

Screenshot-64
Screenshot-65

I am telling you now.  I hate high rise buildings in this game.  Due to the stupidity of EA, this is about as much of their first kiss as I could get.  I was trying to position the camera and it the stupid piece of sh*t flew me up into the sky.  Same thing had happened when he used the elevator for the first time earlier and I missed the fall shot.

Anyway, first romance wish has been achieved.

Screenshot-69

They then went into Lily Bo’s room and had a pillow fight.  It was about this time that he realized that it was daytime.  He couldn’t believe that he had spent the whole night at the party.  He quickly took off for home to get some rest before work that night.

———————-

Screenshot-71

He tried to call Bianca to ask her on a date, but it said he didn’t know anyone well enough.  Whatever, EA.  He went to her house where we found out that she is a cop.  She asked him to watch the stars and he had a really good time.

Screenshot-72

Luke asked her out on a date and chose a local bar.  She agreed, but when he got in the cab, she had gone home to bed.

Luckily for me, he chose to get a drink and he wanted to get in a bar brawl.  This will be my first one ever, so I was looking forward to it.

Screenshot-74

This poor guy has been seen around town before in the background.  I can’t remember his name, but he was innocently heading to the bathroom when Luke struck.

Screenshot-75

Ballister, Banister, Banisher (whatever his name is): Dude, I just want to pee.  Chill out!
Luke:  I want to brawl and you’re the first one I found.

Screenshot-76

Ballister, Backside:  Ok.  Get ready to get beaten down, jerk!
Luke:  I am not so sure I want to do this.

Screenshot-78

Basher:  You’re goin’ down, Ugli!

Screenshot-81
Screenshot-82

You heard it here first, folks!  Ugli wins!

———————-

Screenshot-83

Pretty soon it was time for the band to perform their first gig for two hours.

Screenshot-89

The Ugli’s survived the two hours and Luke went and got paid.  Luke then ran off to get to work since he was late.

Screenshot-92

After work, Luke wanted to impress Lola what’s her face.  I thought it might be a bit harder than it was.  She is a 4-star celeb and Luke is only a 2-star.  It only took a couple of minutes and they were comparing compatible traits.

——————–

Screenshot-95

He does still work on his musical skills when he isn’t traipsing around town making friends and enemies.  He did finally manage to get Bianca out on date.  He immediately wished to woohoo.

Screenshot-96
Screenshot-97

So during the elevator ride down to the ground floor, he got his groove on.

Screenshot-98

They ended up at yet another bar since that is the only thing this town has in abundance.  He must have liked act 1.  He wants to woohoo again.  I was going to cancel out their game interaction and missed.  That is how I found the photo booth.  I didn’t even notice it back there.

Screenshot-99

It is the second woohoo, so he chose (with my help) a 10% risky.

Screenshot-100
Screenshot-101
Screenshot-102

While the act was pleasant, there was no lullaby and he got a nice disgraced moodlet for public woohoo.  He then asked her to come home with him.

Screenshot-104

After the pillow fight that he brought her home for, he wished for a kiss.

Screenshot-105

It soon became clear to me what I should do.

Screenshot-108

We needed the 2,000 points.  She lived in a high rise.  We did a reverse move in.  Beau had previously thrown out that Lily Bo, so I just had Beau and the other roommate move into Luke’s house during the house choice in the move in interaction.

Screenshot-109

It is a large high rise, so I was pretty surprised when Luke went to bed and she chose the same one as him.

Screenshot-110

There are two things I noticed in this pic.  One, that risky must have been successful and Two, she needs a major makeover.  I hate townies just for this reason.  There is no reason for boobs that large..and lumpy.

Screenshot-111

Same girl, same position, different looks.

Screenshot-112

Nothing major was done to her.   Breast reduction, her nose was too sharp, so I softened the edges.  I gave her lips some shape and put on new lipstick.  I didn’t touch anything else.

Screenshot-113

I absolutely couldn’t believe her traits.  I won’t list them because they will be changed when she has enough points.  Athletic, coward, absent-minded and two others even worse.  I don’t understand why she is a cop.  Luke doesn’t care.  I think he’s in love.

Screenshot-115

When she isn’t exercising, she watches tv.  I think she’s too dumb and scared to wish for anything.

Screenshot-116

This is what happens when you go into camera mode and move the camera forward.  You shoot halfway across the world.  and get a random pic.  I hate Bridgeport just for this.

Screenshot-118

This stubborn, dumb and lame old mule took all day for me to get her to do what she was told.  She wanted to go to the museum.  She just wouldn’t go.  A 100 years later, she finally got there and did the maternity spin.  Then she went home.

Screenshot-120

On her way home, she randomly decided that Luke needed an amorous hug.  Good thing he had just gotten off work.

Screenshot-121

I’m not sure which one had the wish, but woohoo was on the agenda.  They both went to bed happy that night *wink*

————————–

Screenshot-123

Bianca and her athletic wishes.  Jogging was the chore for today.  She ran pretty darn far too.

Screenshot-124

She ran across the bridge and off to the right for quite a ways before I had her turn around.

Screenshot-125

She was pretty rank by then, and people tried to steer clear of her.Screenshot-127

I’m not sure why, but Luke spends most of his time in formal wear.  I keep thinking he has a hidden insane trait.  Anyway, he wanted to read a baby book, so he was the one tasked with hitting the bookstore.

Screenshot-131

Aha.  The previous woohoo wish was hers, since he got his this time.

Screenshot-133

She woke up craving pancakes and unfortunately, she can’t cook.  She did manage to eat them anyway.

Screenshot-137

It soon became time for an Ugli baby girl or boy.  Bianca has a wish locked in for a girl.

Legend:

Photo 10:  Marina Prattle is the blonde that Luke wanted to know the sign of.  She is also a roommate of Beau, Bianca and Lilly-Bo chique.

After the food at the bar, Female 1 was Suzy Strummer.  Female 2 was Lilly-Bo Chique.  Insane #3 was Lala Angelista before she became a vampire.

Bar Brawler, I really thought his name was Ballister.  Oh well.  I was wrong.  Ebenezer Smart-Clavier.
