Proof of My Wasted Time

Oh dang, it’s that time again.

Happy two-year anniversary to A Royal Prettacy.

I started this site exactly two years ago?  Man, this thing is older than I thought.  Time flies, doesn’t it?

 

Here are some pictures to celebrate.  They’re of the Teletubby triplets as teens.

 

Screenshot-2499.jpg

Laa-Laa… though you can probably tell by the colors.

Screenshot-2492.jpg

Po…

Screenshot-2493.jpg

… and Dipsy.

CUTE CUTE CUTE.

It’s Just a Flesh Wound…

HALLO

 

I’M NOT DEAD, I SWEAR

I’ve been devoting all of my time and energy to Delirium and Daisies, my “writing” site.  It’s so much fun, and I love it.  But… I’ve also been neglecting my poor babies, the McColor ISBI and A Royal Prettacy.

Maybe I’ll update.

MAYBE.

Or at least show you some pictures of the kids as teens.  They’re gorgeous and it makes me sad.

McColor ISBI 3.1.5?

Oh hey there strangers.  I’m going on vacation for a little over a week, and I should probably just give you what I have.

Why am I so late on this?

It’s been a while.

I blame my computer.  I lost so much because of crashes and stupid things, so I’ve had to start over twice now.

Oh, and I got distracted by YouTube and sad movies.  I mean, come on.  You kinda have to have some recovery time for sad movies.

Screenshot-2398.jpg

That’s the tale of how the McColors ended up in Monte Vista!

It’s a nice town, I guess.

Screenshot-2399.jpg

So, uh, yeah.

“Hey, Dodger.  We found love through a reality television rip-off, so it’s gotta be worth something, right?”

Hey, they’re cute though.

Screenshot-2401.jpg

Um, would you mind burning somewhere else, please?

“PUT ME OUT OR I’LL SUE”

Well, you’re the one that’s loitering… on private property…

Plus, how will you sue if you’re dead?

Screenshot-2402.jpg

Wait… wait… WAIT.

Where are my pictures?

WHERE ARE MY FREAKING PICTURES?!

A pregnancy, this quickly?  That took four pictures!  I’m not that bad at storytelling, but… too fast, man.

Maybe because they never do anything interesting.

Screenshot-2403.jpg

We JUST put you out, lady.  Now you’ve done it again.

“I LIKE HOW IT FEELS WHEN THE FIRE TOUCHES MY SKIN”

Um… backing away slowly…

Screenshot-2406.jpg

“I’M PREGNANT!!!!!”

“You’re pregnant?!  That’s great!  Awfully fast, though.  Explain to me, Watcher, up there in the sky!  O Watcher, why do you suck at pictures?”

No.

Screenshot-2408.jpg

“YOU SUCK AT PICTURES”

Yes, I’ll admit it.  I don’t know what I was doing during that three-day pregnancy.

Screenshot-2409.jpg

It’s the basket, you know what that means…

Triplets.  Freaking triplets.

Captwer343ureCapt345345wureCapt345345eure

Whut even arr dese namees?!  you may ask.

Well, let me introduce this generation’s naming theme…

CHILDREN’S TV SHOWS!

Remember the family’s mission?  You know, to spread happiness and joy and rainbows?  Well, what could be happier than children’s TV shows?

The triplets are named after…

TELETUBBIES!

Man, teletubbies were practically  my life when I was little.

Their clothing colors correspond to the colors of their teletubbies.

Dipsy, the boy, is in green.

Po is in red.

Laa-Laa is in yellow.

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

It’s….

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!*

 

*Must be read to the tune of the actual song.  Guitar and all.

Screenshot-2380.jpg

That’s right, folks, this is it!  The last episode of Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge!

It’s time for a celebration!  But not too much celebrating.  This is also a sad occasion.

Screenshot-2391.jpg

Dodger: “JUST TELL ME OR I MIGHT EXPLODE”

Calm down, I’m getting there.

Zea: *literally does not care*

So here’s the points breakdown.

Dodger won the reader poll, by the way.

Zea’s relationship with Hydrangea is at a points value of 31.98.  That’s added to his score.

Dodger’s relationship is 52.43 points.  That’s also added to his score.

Dodger: total of +65 from challenges

Zea: total of +42 from challenges

Dodger: 117.43

Zea: 73.98

That makes the winner…

Screenshot-2395.jpg

“… Dodger!  You’re the winner!  You’ve proved your worth by working hard in the challenges, and you’re quite the character!  Popular, too.  So… you’re the one I want.  Congrats!”

“… WHAT?!”

Screenshot-2392.jpg

“I’m sorry, Zea.  You’re a great guy, and you can still live in town if you want…”

“Hey, no hard feelings!  You’re welcome to watch vegetarian movies with me at my place… anytime!”

Screenshot-2396.jpg

“I already found someone new!  And she’s kinda hot!”

Hmm.  No comment.

Screenshot-2397.jpg

The end.

I just wanted to say… thanks so much!  You guys are great!

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: Episode 5

Oh hey there, friends.  What’s up with you?

I’ve been all right.  Just started ballet classes… I like it, but I have no idea what I’m doing.

It’s all good.

So…

Screenshot-2367

Alright, let’s do this.

We left off with these three guys, all up for elimination.

Let’s start with Dodger…

Screenshot-2368.jpg

“Safe!  Congrats, you’ve lived another round.”

Next up is Basil…

Screenshot-2371

Sorry man, but you have to go.  Your score wasn’t very high, to be honest.

“What, you actually thought I wanted to be here?  Pfft, as if.”

Screenshot-2372.jpg

“Which means you get to stay, Zea!  Now take these flowers or I’ll stuff them down your throat, or your pants.  Whichever suits my mood.”

“Well, when you put it that way…”

Yes, Zea, accept those flowers.

He did.

Screenshot-2374.jpg

For this last round of challenges *cry* we’ll be doing three different challenges.  One’s really more of a bonus round, but whatever.  Whoever wins each challenge will get more points, and then whoever has the highest score at the end of it all… wins!  But I’ll tell you the winner next chapter…

The next challenge is a firewalk challenge.  Whoever turns back will lose the challenge.

Dodger: “OH NO OH NO OH NOOOOOO I SWEAR I DIE THIS TIME”

Screenshot-2375.jpg

You made it!

I didn’t think you would, you coward.

Screenshot-2376.jpg

Zea: “NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE”

Zea loses, Dodger wins… this time.

Screenshot-2378.jpg

Next is the trampoline challenge!

Whoever falls off first or stops jumping first…loses this challenge.

Screenshot-2381.jpg

“IS THIS WHAT DEATH FEELS LIKE 😦 ”

Sorry, buddy… but seriously, you lost both challenges.

Screenshot-2382.jpg

BONUS ROUND!

Each guy will be locked in a room with Hydrangea and Becca Simself.

+2 for every time you talk to Hydrangea, when YOU initiate the conversation, not when she does.  I want my guys to show a little initiative!

-1 for every mean interaction

Screenshot-2385.jpg

Wrong person, Zea.

Zea: “I LIKE BUTTERFLIES”

Becca: “Well, I don’t.  Ever heard of lepidopterophobia?”

Screenshot-2388.jpg

“You’re an idiot, and I don’t want to be near you or else your stupid might leak onto me!”

Screenshot-2386.jpg

Zea: “You’re so smart, Becca!”

I’m going to have to add a new rule:

-1 for talking to Becca Simself the whole time because GOOD GRIEF, ZEA

Screenshot-2390.jpg

Dodger’s turn!

“Um… what do I do?  What do I do?!”

Go talk to them!

Screenshot-2394.jpg

“Um… um… COMICS!”

Time’s up!

Zea’s score is 10.

Dodger’s score is 8.

Zea actually wins this round!

Screenshot-2379.jpg

Oh, don’t look so violated, Dodger.

It’s time for…

THE FINAL ELIMINATION!

*cue thunder and lightning*

Vote for your favorite guy… though the guy who wins the poll may not win the challenge!

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: Episode 4

Screenshot-2365.jpg

So, I forgot to get some important pictures.  That, or I lost them.

Therefore, we’re getting straight to it.

Zea, you’re still in.

“Oh, good… I guess.”

Mm, no, be more excited.

Sorry I don’t have any farewell pictures of you, Plum.  I liked you… or, at least, I thought you were cute.

It actually was so close, it came down to whoever won the reader poll.

Screenshot-2293.jpg

These two kids still have a rocky relationship.

Screenshot-2299.jpg

Zea: “Hey, Basil!  Save a plant, eat a bookshelf!”

Basil: “Or a podium.  I heard they’re high in fiber.”

Becca: *insert funny Uranus joke, I’m too tired today*

Screenshot-2301.jpg

Dodger: “Hey, I feel left out! 😦 ”

Oh, sweetie.  Don’t worry, we still love you.

Screenshot-2306.jpg

Cribs?!  Toys?!  What does it all mean?!

It means… BABY CHALLENGE!!!!!!

Let me explain.

I added to the household three toddler-aged sims.  For each one, Hydrangea is the mother.  For one, Basil’s the father.  For the second one, Dodger’s the father.  For the third one, Zea’s the father.

I’ll be locking the three guys in the room with their babies.  There will be a “distraction” room, to tempt the guys.

They earn points for taking care of any kid, but they earn even more points for taking care of their own kid.

It’ll last… 12 or 13 sim-hours.

Points Breakdown:

+2 Play with/socialize with ANY kid.

+4 Play with/socialize with YOUR kid.

+3 Take care of the needs (diaper changes, feeding, putting to bed) of ANY kid.

+6 Take care of the needs (diaper changes, feeding, putting to bed) of YOUR kid.

-1 Each time you use a distraction.

Oh, and…

Up to +10 points for cuteness factor.

Just a note: I probably won’t be showing pictures of every single interaction, but at the end, I’ll tell you the ultimate results.

So… let’s meet the kids!

I tried to give them names that related to their color… key word is tried.

Screenshot-2294.jpg

This is Honey, daughter of Dodger.

She makes the best faces.

Screenshot-2307.jpg

And she’s REALLY good-looking as a young adult.

+9 for being cute as a kid AND good-looking as a young adult

Screenshot-2296

This is Juniper, daughter of Basil.

Screenshot-2309.jpg

Mm… nope.

+2 pity points, and because she’s somewhat colorful

Screenshot-2304.jpg

This is Sky, daughter of Zea.

“I WILL MURDER YOU IN YOUR SLEEP”

 

Screenshot-2308

She’s not too bad-looking.

+8, because she’s entertaining and not ugly

Screenshot-2311.jpg

3… 2… 1… GO!

It takes a while, but someone finally finds a baby.

+2

Screenshot-2313.jpg

+2

Screenshot-2317.jpg

+2

Dodger is just a caretaker MACHINE right now.

Screenshot-2316.jpg

Ah, yes, someone found his kid!

+4

Screenshot-2318.jpg

Zea, no!  Go spend time with your kid, or any kid really!

“No.  TV is my life now.”

-1

Screenshot-2326.jpg

Basil, sweetie… you’re supposed to put food in front of them.

“Oh… I thought it just appeared on the tray.”

Screenshot-2327.jpg

Yes, Dodger!  Being the kind of dad that actually feeds the kids, whether they’re his or not!

Screenshot-2328.jpg

“Ha.  Well, if you’re going to show me up by feeding my kid, I’ll just do the same to you.”

Screenshot-2330.jpg

“Can someone get her to shut up, please?  Her crying is disrupting my vibe.”

Then just DO IT YOURSELF!

Screenshot-2331.jpg

“Ugh, fine.”

+2

Screenshot-2336.jpg

Yes, Zea!  Now you’ve got it!

Not his kid, though.  Sad.  He would have gotten the first +6 for the whole challenge.

Screenshot-2340.jpg

“Save a plant, eat a… podium?  No, Basil was wrong, that doesn’t sound right.”

Aaaaaand… time’s up!

Let’s see the scores.

The guys seemed to have a hard time finding their own babies.

Dodger swept away the competition with… 43 points!

Zea had a rough start, but got there eventually with… 16 points!

Basil started off okay, but got bored easily.  He has… 16 points!

Screenshot-2349.jpg

Wait, what’s this?  It can’t be… LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND!

+3 points for each time you talk to your own kid

Zea: “So, Sky, I wanna know… have you ever seen-“

Screenshot-2351.jpg

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence, or I swear I’ll murder you painfully.”

Ooh.  Harsh.

“Hey.  NO ONE reuses jokes around here.  NO ONE.”

+3

Screenshot-2352.jpg

Basil: “Like, NO, get away from me, tiny human!”

Juniper: “Well, FINE, dad!  I hate you too!”

Screenshot-2360.jpg

EPIC SCARY STORY CONTEST

IT’S A STORY-OFF

Final scores after bonus round:

Dodger- 46

Zea- 22

Basil- 19

Screenshot-2364.jpg

I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Sky and Honey.  Not you, Juniper.  Sorry.

Juniper: “That hurts 😦 ”

Bye, girls…

Screenshot-2366.jpg

“OHHHH MY GOODNESS I’M IN THE HOTSEAT, I’M GONNA DIEEEEEEEE again.”

Relax, Dodger.  Everyone’s in the hotseat this time.

Yes, I’m doing away with picking the bottom two.  There’s only three guys left, so what’s the point?

Screenshot-2367.jpg

It’s time to pick your favorite man!  Choose wisely!

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: Episode 3

Anyone noticed how the chapters are getting shorter and shorter?

Alright, so last time we left off, Leo and Zea were in the hotseat, and Dodger was promised a private date.

Screenshot-2226.jpg

It started with a concert that apparently was good.  I wouldn’t know anything about concerts, seeing as I’ve never been to one.

Screenshot-2227.jpg

Then they BROFIVED!

Screenshot-2229.jpg

Then they sang some karaoke, Dodger still with pie guts on his face.

Screenshot-2230.jpg

Dodger tried to flirt, Hydrangea rejected…

Screenshot-2231.jpg

Buuuuuut it worked when she did it.

Screenshot-2234.jpg

“So Dodger, tell me everything about the concert-”

“No, I don’t think I like you enough.”

Screenshot-2235.jpg

“WHY WON’T YOU LOVE ME 😦 ”

Screenshot-2238.jpg

Basil: “Hey Hydrangea, the writer chick thinks she’s funny!  What a joke!”

Hey!

Screenshot-2240.jpg

Hydrangea: “Mmhm yes, you’re lookin’ kinda cute today, Basil.”

Screenshot-2241.jpg

It’s a vicious circle for these two.

Their relationship…

Screenshot-2290.jpg

Zea: “But seriously Hydrangea, I wanna know… have you ever seen the rain?”

Did… did that just happen?  Did I just let that happen?

Screenshot-2291.jpg

“But… but who could ever resist this face?”

Go socialize, Zea.  You get points that way.  And points keep you out of the hotseat.

Screenshot-2251.jpg

Alright, let’s get to the elimination.

Let’s start with Zea.  He’s…

Screenshot-2253.jpg

“Safe!  Here, have some flowers for your troubles.”

Screenshot-2254.jpg

“What?!  No!  I don’t want the dead carcasses of innocent plants!”

Screenshot-2255.jpg

“What the actual heck.”

Leo: “LOL u stupid Zea.”

Careful, Zea.  Slip up with her, and you could find yourself out of here.  But seriously.  Have a good relationship with her, it gives you extra points.

Screenshot-2256.jpg

Sorry Leo, but you have to go.

“It’s okay.  I’ll always have my other life…”

True, true.

Screenshot-2257.jpg

And then she handed the innocent boy… the carcass of a dead flower!  The witch was an evil woman who ate meat and used an old gas guzzler, but he didn’t think she was this evil…”

Screenshot-2260

“Oh.  You’re being serious, aren’t you?”

Screenshot-2262.jpg

Let me explain the next challenge!

It’s pretty simple.  Everyone is dancing.  The first one to stop dancing… earns himself a place in the hotseat.

Screenshot-2263.jpg

Well, that was quick!  Plum, what are you doing?

“I must check the sink!  It is essential!”

Well, you’re in the hotseat now.

Screenshot-2264.jpg

“Yay, the pool’s back 🙂 ”

But not for long, kiddos…

Screenshot-2268.jpg

“Yes!  I am the best!  Suck it, losers!”

So why is Basil being weird again?

I forgot to get an essential picture.

But basically, we’re determining the occupant of the second hotseat through an apple-bobbing contest.

It’s like the eating contests, but with apples.

Basil won the first contest, so he’s safe.

Captwer23445re.PNG

Dodger won the second one, so he’s also safe.

Screenshot-2272.jpg

It only got dark because these two idiots would complete their contests, but there’d be no winner.

So they did contest after contest, until…

Screenshot-2273.jpg

Plum: *smug smile*

Screenshot-2274.jpg

Zea, buddy!  What’s going on with you?  That’s twice now you’ve been in the hotseat!

“I don’t know, man.  I just don’t know.”

Screenshot-2276.jpg

Well, after everything that’s happened, these two are the ones in the hotseats.

So, before we go-

Screenshot-2277.jpg

WAIT

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DODGER

QUIT FOOLING AROUND

“I *choke* never learned *splutter* to swim”

NO

I WILL NOT LET YOU DROWN

Screenshot-2279.jpg

“Too late…” *dramatic exit*

DODGER NO

I WILL HATE YOU FOREVER IF YOU DIE

DON’T YOU DARE

Screenshot-2280.jpg

DODGERRRRRR

SEE, THIS IS WHY I DIDN’T WANT TO BRING THE POOL BACK

I KNEW STUPID STUFF LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN

Screenshot-2283.jpg

NO GO AWAY GRIMMY

YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN BE HERE

Cap25454523ture.PNG

YES, HYDRANGEA.  THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.

Screenshot-2284.jpg

For whatever reason, Basil has a ton of Lifetime Reward points, so I just shrugged and bought a lamp.

Screenshot-2286.jpg

“You better bring back Dodger, or I swear I’ll throw your lamp in the pool.”

“Well, you know I can-”

“And then get Becca to delete to pool.”

Screenshot-2288.jpg

“Dodger!  I thought you were dead!  I’m really glad you’re not, though.”

Screenshot-2289.jpg

YES

DELETE IT

BURN IT TO THE GROUND

So, on that note…

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: Episode 2

Screenshot-2220.jpg

“Oh, you’re still here?  Well then.  Let’s get on with this.”

Screenshot-2145.jpg

I know you probably want to get to the elimination, but let’s first look at Leo and Hydrangea’s date.

They went to that beach (Starlight Shores, everyone) and played some pool.

Ca54234523pture.PNG

Leo won, because he shows no mercy!

They went and played in the ocean, even though it was raining.

It was fairly boring.  So that’s it.

Screenshot-2161

Plum, what are you doing?

“I HAVE SUMMONED A VORTEX”

Screenshot-2162

But that looks like-

“SHUT UP, I MUST CONCENTRATE”

Glitches.

Screenshot-2164.jpg

I swear, they’re all a bunch of pool addicts.  They will not get out of the pool.

Screenshot-2166.jpg

Hmm, looks like Basil has his own personal vortex too.

Last time, we had these three guys up for elimination.

I added up their points.  They get points for interacting with Hydrangea, points for doing well in the challenges, and points from the reader poll.

Screenshot-2167.jpg

Dodger… you’re safe!  You had the highest score of the three guys.  You also won the reader poll, five votes to the two votes that the other guys had between them.

“Oh.  Oh, okay.  I was really nervous back there.”

Don’t worry, scaredy-cat.  You’re fine.

Screenshot-2169.jpg

Basil… you’re… safe!

You just barely scraped by, just because you did fairly well in the challenges.

I’ve got my eye on you.

“Oh, do you? 😉 ”

Not like that.

Screenshot-2170.jpg

I’m sorry, Merlot.  I really liked you, but you didn’t do too well in the challenges, and you really had no relationship with Hydrangea.

“That’s alright.  I have better things to do…”

Screenshot-2171.jpg

It’s time for the next challenge!

So here’s how it’s going to go.

Free will is jacked all the way up, and the guys are locked in a room full of skill objects.  Whoever skills the most/uses a lot of skill objects… wins.

That’s basically it.

Screenshot-2172.jpg

Alright, so it’s been a while, and none of the guys have even moved.  Free will is all the way up, I know it works, but they’re not doing anything.

I’ll give them a little nudge.

Each guy gets a random object.

Screenshot-2174.jpg

Professor Plum is on drums.

He does fairly well.

Screenshot-2175.jpg

Zea’s using the chess table.

Screenshot-2176

Leo’s on keyboard.  He looks bored.

Screenshot-2178.jpg

Basil’s using the easel.  He’s about the second-fastest skiller.

Screenshot-2177.jpg

And then there’s Dodger, being all cool with the invention table!  He’s skilling like a maniac.

Screenshot-2179.jpg

“Alright, so I ran out of scrap.  What now?”

Screenshot-2180.jpg

New object!

Capwerw45342235235ture.PNG

Wait, Merlot, what are you doing?  I never put you in town!

“I snuck in.  So there.”

Oh yes, you really showed me.

Screenshot-2182

Time’s up!

I know I didn’t include a lot of pictures, but here are the results.

Dodger’s in first place.  He skilled the most, and he was the fastest skiller.  He may or may not have a private date because he won.  I haven’t decided yet.

Basil’s in second.

Plum’s in third.

Zea’s in fourth.

Leo’s in last place.  Therefore, he’s in the hotseat!

Screenshot-2185.jpg

Next is a cooking challenge, which will determine the second hotseat occupant.

Each guy will cook one serving of macaroni and cheese.  Whoever creates the lowest quality food (which may mean that it is burnt) will be in the hotseat.

Screenshot-2186.jpg

Each guy was sent at the same time… so why are Zea and Dodger the only ones here?

Get your butts down here, Basil, Plum, and Leo.

Screenshot-2187.jpg

“Jeez, I’m here.  Don’t freak out like that.”

Screenshot-2188.jpg

The first guys are done!

Captu890789789789re

Cawertwert245234523pture

Not bad, not bad…

Screenshot-2189.jpg

And the others…

Caqwerwerpture

Captw3r23434234aure

Also decent…

Screenshot-2191.jpg

Leo, noooooo!  You burned it!

Leo: *saddest pouty face ever*

Screenshot-2192.jpg

Mmhm, yes Basil, you work that.

Screenshot-2201.jpg

Since Leo was in last place for both challenges, we need to do a third one to figure out the other hotseat occupant.

Hot dog-eating contest!

Whoever wins this one will be safe.  Then, I’ll do another one between the three remaining guys, and whoever wins that one will be safe.  I’ll do that for the last two guys, and whoever doesn’t win will be in the hotseat.

Photo mosaic!

Screenshot-2208.jpg

“I WON?!” *girly squeal*

Don’t do that, Basil.

Or do.  It’s entertaining.

Screenshot-2209.jpg

This time, it’s pie, and it’s on a new lot.

Screenshot-2214.jpg

Just one step closer to the girl of your dreams, buddy.

Screenshot-2215.jpg

Now we’re down to these two idiots.  They’re all idiots, actually.

Aaaaaand…

Screenshot-2218.jpg

Dodger’s the winner!

Sorry Zea, but you’re in danger now.

Screenshot-2219.jpg

So the hotseats are occupied by these two.  Leo once again looks so done with this.

Screenshot-2221.jpg

*I had to delete the pool, because they wouldn’t stop using it.  They actually need to socialize for once in their short sim-lives.

I know it was short, but… let’s just roll with it.

Hydrangea’s Bachelorette Challenge: Episode 1

So, I’ve been pretty busy with “The Time Thief” (name subject to change) over at Delirium and Daisies.  I had a burst of mad creative skillz, but then I LOST IT.  And now… writer’s block.  Everything I write, I end up thinking it sucks.

So I experimented with pictures.

Screenshot-2018

Spoiler alert: Her name is Siv, and she’ll be showing up in the story soon…

Probably.  Unless I scrap that storyline.

Screenshot-2104.jpg

In what is literally the stupidest house ever, a girl is searching for the man of her dreams…

Cawerwe34234r234werwerpture.PNG

Though let’s hope that they’re actually interested in the girl, not each other.

Screenshot-2034.jpg

“Oh, hey there!  It’s your host, Becca V. Simself, with a fancy new outfit and a haircut that I totally wish I could pull off in real life!  It is my honor to welcome everyone to the very first McColor Bachelorette Challenge!  Wasting no time here… let’s meet the candidates!”

Screenshot-2035.jpg

First off, this is the lovely bachelorette… Hydrangea McColor!  Wave to the invisible crowd!

“No.”

Fair enough.

Screenshot-2038.jpg

“Oh hey there girl, I’m Basil.  Basil Vert.  Party animal extraordinaire.  I’m pretty irresistible, and I guess I’m a social guy.  Some might call me a snob or a diva… but what do they know?”

Screenshot-2039.jpg

And then- wait, what are you doing, Dodger?

“RUN!!!!!!”

What are you running from?

“I don’t even know!!!!!! But RUN!!!!!!!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dodger Firefly.

Screenshot-2040.jpg

“Pleased to meet you, my name is Professor Plum Prism.  Let me just say, I’m not going to win.”

Don’t count yourself out!”

“I’m a Loser.  It’s in my blood.”

Okay, well… this kid here also likes gardening.  He’s neurotic.  He’s also a diva and a born salesman.

“Oh, yeah.  Uh… my name’s Zea Mays, and I guess I like movies.  But not movies where they eat meat.  When I go vegetarian, I go full-on vegetarian.  I like sitting around and watching vegetarian movies, and maybe doing a little cuddling too.” *awkward flirty wink*

Screenshot-2043.jpg

And you- well, we know you already.

“Hehe, yeah… *le blush* My name’s Dodger Firefly, and I’m scared of a lot of things.  Like butterflies, and llamas, and people who burp too loudly.  I’m a guy who’s not afraid to cry… and I will cry.  Like, a lot.  But I’d say I have a pretty nice life so far… I’d just like to settle down with a nice girl.”

Screenshot-2046.jpg

“Greetings, I am Merlot Rosewood.  I am quite the intellectual.  I enjoy stimulating conversation, chess, and stargazing.  Do not ask me to do anything physical.  And beware of my temper…”

Screenshot-2047.jpg

And… wait a second.  Felix Simself?

“Nuuuuuu, my name is Leo Valentine!”

If you say so…

Screenshot-2048.jpg

“I am such a nerd!  I love computers, maybe even more than I love good jokes or stealing things.  I gotta say, I’m still a romantic at heart, and I’d love to find the right girl for me!”

Alright, so you’ve met all of the guys!  I’ve only got the six.  It’ll be a short challenge.  Or maybe not.  I’m still trying to figure this out.

A bit of a speed-challenge, actually.

Now, each guy gets one “Chat” interaction with Hydrangea, and anything else is up to them.

Screenshot-2050.jpg

“So you’re named after wine?  I like alcohol!”

“Getting drunk is not classy.  Just saying.”

Screenshot-2052.jpg

Turns out Merlot is a closet child.

“TAG!!!  You’re it!”

Screenshot-2053.jpg

Tag time!

Screenshot-2055.jpg

The guys lose points for flirting, and yes, slow-dancing counts as flirting.

They also gain points for having a higher relationship with Hydrangea, and lose points for having a low/negative relationship.

Screenshot-2056.jpg

NO!  Bad Basil!  Bad Leo!

Screenshot-2059.jpg

*nerding out together*

Good signs, good signs.

Screenshot-2062.jpg

“So.  What is your stance on vegan movies?”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Screenshot-2063.jpg

“Oh, uh, so you have blue hair?”

“Yeah!  So observant!”

Hey, they have the same favorite color!

Screenshot-2064.jpg

*awkward silence*

Screenshot-2066.jpg

“Please, get this kid away from me.”

Screenshot-2068.jpg

*chat chat chatty chat, chat is French for cat*

Screenshot-2071.jpg

“Do you hold your alcohol well?  And do you do keg stands?”

Screenshot-2072.jpg

“You BETTER, or the deal is off!”

Screenshot-2073.jpg

“How DARE you?!”

Screenshot-2076.jpg

OHHHHHH DANG

Screenshot-2078.jpg

“How DARE you hurt a woman like that, you beast!”

Yessss, Merlot!  You tell him!

Screenshot-2079.jpg

Basil is just slap-happy today.

Screenshot-2082

Merlot: “Bah!  I am not talking to you!”

Basil: “Good, ’cause I don’t wanna talk to a loser like you!”

Screenshot-2088.jpg

Looks like Plummy found the bull.

You were supposed to wait for the challenge!

“I DON’T FOLLOW THE RULES!”

Screenshot-2089.jpg

Well okay then, you do those impossible flips.

Are you sure you haven’t done this before?

Screenshot-2092.jpg

*Basil slapped Hydrangea again.

It’s goin’ down.

Screenshot-2093.jpg

Plum: “Excuse me sir, is there an issue here?”

Screenshot-2094.jpg

The contestants have gathered for the first challenge…

Screenshot-2095.jpg

“Alright, so here’s the deal.  You’ve been randomly paired with another contestant, and each pair will participate in a water balloon fight.  I’m not really sure how this goes, but the winner overall, out of the three pairs, will get a date with Hydrangea, and the loser will go in the hot seat.  In other words, they’re up for elimination.  I’ll explain more later.  For now… begin!”

Screenshot-2096.jpg

First up is Zea and Basil.

Photo montage:

Cawer34534werpture.PNG

Zea wins!  But we’ll have to wait and see if Basil got the lowest score out of all three pairs.

Next up: Leo and Dodger!

Cawerwerwerpture.PNG

Dodger wins!  Making use of his name, I see.

Leo’s score is pretty darn low, but we’ll wait and see.

Next up: Professor Plum and Merlot!

Cawerwerwaerpture.PNG

Merlot wins!  Plum didn’t get the lowest score of the group, so…

Leo has the lowest score of all six guys, with ten points.

Screenshot-2080.jpg

You’re in the hot seat, Leo!

Wait, why are you smiling?

Anyway…

No sim got the highest score, so there will be no private date for the winner.

Screenshot-2127.jpg

Next up is the bull-riding challenge.  Each guy must attempt to stay on the bull (“Bucking Bronco” option) for as long as possible.  The guy who stays on the longest is granted immunity for this elimination, and gets a private date.

Screenshot-2128.jpg

Leo stays on the bull for 23 seconds.  Not bad, my not-son.

“YEE-HAW, LOOK AT MY WRIST!”

Ouch.  That looks bad.

Screenshot-2131.jpg

“DON’T STOP THE TIMER, I’M STILL ON”

You look pretty dead to me, kid.

Basil stays on for 17 seconds.  Not the longest, but not terrible.

Screenshot-2134.jpg

Our dear Professor stays on for 9 seconds, despite how comfortable he looks.

Screenshot-2136.jpg

Zea stays on for eight seconds… ooh, it’s getting lower…

Screenshot-2138.jpg

“NO NO NO I’M STILL ON IT”

Dodger stays on for 6.27 seconds.

Screenshot-2140.jpg

Merlot stays on for 6.75 seconds, beating Dodger by less than a second.

Leo got the highest score!  That means that he’s out of the hot seat!

Screenshot-2112

Leo, you can leave now.

“Oh, good.  That was nerve-wracking.”

Screenshot-2142

For this elimination, I’m doing the two lowest scores in the bull-riding challenge, and the guy that has the lowest relationship with Hydrangea.

Basil and Hydrangea really don’t like each other, so he’s here.

I’ll be changing this format, because I only have six guys, and I don’t want over half my guys in the hot seats.

Here’s how it’ll work.

I’ll give them each points depending on how they’ve scored in the challenges, and how high their relationship with Hydrangea is.  I’ll also give them points depending on how many people vote for them in the poll.

The poll?  Well, in this poll, you lovely readers will vote for your favorite out of the three guys in the hot seats.

Here it is:

*REMEMBER: Vote for your FAVORITE of the three guys.

McColor ISBI 2.6: The Almost-Chapter

Alright, it’s been long enough.  I’ll post what I have, and then there’s an announcement to make.

 

Caw3rwerwrpture.PNG

Finally, my cat OTP has come true!

I just realized how ridiculous that sounds.

But hey- I will get one of their kittens if I can.

Screenshot-1838.jpg

“GAHHHH IF I DO NOT WIN THE HEIRSHIP I SHALL SURELY PERISH”

Just wait a little longer, you’ll find out…

Screenshot-1839.jpg

Bubblegum!  You’ve been pregnant for ages.  Are you ever going to have that baby?

“Probs not.”

Screenshot-1840.jpg

Aw, Hydrangea and my little Sebby are hanging out!  How cute…

Sebastian: “Jeez mom, just die already.”

Screenshot-1845.jpg

Well, aren’t you a grumpy little cutie pie!  Is it puberty?  Do you need-

“JUST FREAKING DIE OKAY”

Screenshot-1846.jpg

Pat: “Hey!  I heard someone was making death threats!  That’s supposed to be MY thing!”

Chryssy: “Just leave us alone already, or I’ll start making some threats of my own!”

Pat: “… well done, grasshopper.  I have taught you well.” *probably shedding a single tear of pure pride*

Screenshot-1848.jpg

“You’re so embarrassing, Patty.”

I see that look.  You don’t look embarrassed.

Screenshot-1855.jpg

YESSSSS YOU TWO KIDS GET ALONG NOW

“This soundtrack is amazing, it’s like an epic mashup of all the best metal songs!”

“I know, right?”

Screenshot-1856.jpg

Daffy: “WATCHU GUYS DOIN'”

Hydrangea: “Get out of the way!  I’m going to crash!”

Seb: “HER BUTT IS IN MY FACE, HER BUTT IS IN MY FACE”

Screenshot-1952.jpg

Daffy: *l’epic freak-out* “I SHALL BECOME HEIRESS OF THE GENERATION OR ELSE I WILL NEVER MOVE FROM THIS SPOT”

Screenshot-1977

Look at them… being buddies…

Hold on a second.

Screenshot-1978.jpg

Perfect.

Screenshot-1980.jpg

Whoa, that game’s intense.  I mean, I was expecting something more GTA-style, but no, you guys went hardcore.

Screenshot-1982.jpg

OOOOOHHHH, dat kid’s flirtin’.

Chryssy: “You’re cute…”

Probably going to be a Pat appearance in 3… 2… 1…

Screenshot-1983.jpg

Pat: “OHHHH WHO DAT BOI, IT’S PAT, COMIN’ TO TAKE YOUR LIFE”

Sebastian: *hearing and seeing absolutely nothing*

Screenshot-1984.jpg

“Seriously though.  I will end you.”

Capwrwere4r3434ture.PNG

And it only took… what, a year?

Bubblegum: “I wanted to make sure she was ready!”

Capw3454533434ture.PNG

YESSSSSS

+5

And on her birthday too, what a close call.

C34534534apture.PNG

Jellybean has reached a new level of patheticalness, which is the correct word, in fact.  Not only has he been unlucky in love his whole life (not even a single flirt!), he has also decided to move in with his sister and her husband, and bum off of them.

Screenshot-1920.jpg

NOOOOOO

BRING HOME SEBASTIAN AGAIN, OR SOMEONE CUTE

Capwerwerwerwerture.PNG

I get points for this.

+5

Ca3r4werwerpture

NUUUUUU, FELIX 😦

YOU’RE MEANT TO BE WITH-

One of the girls 😉

Screenshot-1985.jpg

Birthday time…

Capwerswrwerture.PNG

New trait is hopeless romantic!  That should work out well… hm.

Crweweawerapture.PNG

Each sim automatically gets the first LTW that pops up, so… you’re going to keep that guitar, Hydrangea.

Screenshot-1987.jpg

I changed her look so many times.  It may change again.  But for now…

Screenshot-1988.jpg

It’s kinda hard to see the pink streaks most of the time.

*CRAAAAASH*

*me doing Hydrangea’s birthday again*

*CRAAAAASH, THE SEQUEL*

*CRAAAAASH: THE CRASH AWAKENS*

 

 


 

Time for a talk.

I’d like to start playing now, so I’ll just share the heir poll with you.

 

Capt4r5werwer3443433345ure

There WAS a three-way tie for days, until a magical seventh vote (thanks, Randi) came down from the sky and changed everything.

Congrats to Hydrangea!

Aaaaaaand…

There’s going to be a Bachelorette Challenge!

I need her to find someone colorful…

 

 

 

Screenshot-1990.jpg

I’ll have Lollipop get on those potions right away.

“Just so you know, I don’t want to do this.”

Sucks for you.  We need potions.

Screenshot-1991.jpg

“I WILL SMASH SOMETHING”

I’m sure Pat would be proud.

Speaking of Pat, where is he?  I haven’t seen him in a while.

Screenshot-1992.jpg

Hydrangea: *the stiffest smile ever*

Hey, graduation!

Screenshot-1993.jpg

Your wedding dress: because why not get some use out of it?

Screenshot-1994.jpg

Daffy, why are you not going with them?

“They left without me 😦 ”

That’s… sad.

Cawerwerapture.PNG

Wow, valedictorian AND Most Likely to be Mediocre.  What an honor.  Glad to know she’s average.

Screenshot-1995.jpg

Pat: “I was just messing with you, Chryssy!  I’m not actually mad at you, I was just power napping!  I’m back now!”

Cawerwerpture.PNG

And now I learn that Petra is actually bisexual.  (Dany’s a guy.)

Not that I care, but thanks again for the info.

“I aim to please.”


 

So that’s it, for now!  Though there is one more thing…

BACHELORETTE CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sticking Hydrangea in a Bachelorette Challenge with a bunch of guys!

All y’all are welcome to submit people!  You can submit up to two sims, since I don’t expect to get a lot of entries.

Just leave a link or whatever in the comments.

I’d like some colorful/rainbow guys, please.

Oh, and I’m doing it in a different house.  A “bachelorette” mansion.  So, if anyone would like to build me a house for the challenge, or at least recommend one… that’d be great.

Thanks so much!

P.S.  Expansion Packs I have: All of them!

Stuff Packs: High-End Loft Stuff, Town Life Stuff.

I’m not sure if Custom Content or Store items will cause issues.  I’ll let you know.
