Any planned updates? :]

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 14-02-2009 05:33 AM

Yep.  There is gonna be an update.  I'm thinking tomorrow.

My computer had a virus, but I backed my game files on my external hard drive, but I have two updates worth of pics to show.  It was a huge one...a crashing computer and it's freaking new! 

As soon as I get the games installed on my computer again, I will update.  I think I did it right...I googled it...you copy the TS2 folder in My Documents, right?  Then replace the TS2 folder with that when I reinstall.

Yep, sounds like you did it right Smile

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 14-02-2009 06:42 PM

  What happened was that I gotten this song off my cousin's flash drive, but I scanned it first, and no viruses showed up.  Then during a scan later on, Norton found a virus in it.  I tried to erase the song, but it wouldn't let me at all.  But after I tried to delete it, that's when it started acting stupid with my computer.  My Windows Taskbar would freeze, so I would have to turn off my computer for me to push start and use things.  Firefox wouldn't come up, and I just hate IE.  So I did a system recovery after saving everything important on that computer.  The games should be reinstalled Tuesday...when my friend gives me back her games...She bought AL, but not TS2, she didn't have no idea she needed TS2 base game, so I lent it to her.  And I will see her at school Tuesday or I can call her and pick them up, but she is such a social, busy person.

Six more months passed, and Ivy and I was still together.  One day, I borrowed some money from my father.  It wasn't a pretty thing.

"Dad, can I have some money?" I asked him.
"See, if you had a job, Lance, you would have some money.  Now, why do you need money?"
"You see, I ain't gonna lie to you, but I want to have a bit to spend on my girl."
"I don't see why is that girl with you.  You are living off your younger cousin and you are jobless."
"It's more personality.  It's not like you and your ex girlfriends.  Please dad, I'll pay you back."
"Whatever...(sigh)..how much do you need, Lance."
"About 300 bucks."
"What!  You are crazy!  Get out of here!"
"Come on, dad!  I bet your mom did favors for you too!"
"She kept me alive for 18 years.  Here, Lance, I'll lend you it, but you better pay me back by getting a job."
"I love you, dad."
"Yeah, you love me now, don't you?"

So with that bit of money, I finally convinced Ivy to let down her hair...We went to the ladies salon, and she gotten a complete makeover.  Then I still had enough left to buy her some nice outfits.  And after all of that, I was in awe!  I knew she was a beautiful woman under all that modesty she had!  She was also happy.  She told me that she was happy with her new look, and she wanted to keep it up.  For the first time, she said, she knew she looked good.

Ever since that makeover, I was even more attracted to her.  We just couldn't stop hugging and kissing each other.  She was also less shy towards me.  She wasn't shy enough to disagree with me, she shared her feelings, she shared more affection, and it was just like we knew each other our whole lives.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_f69abfc4.jpg]


She soon moved in with us...well, I invited her to move in with us.  Michael Antonio was HOT!

"What!  So you asked your girlfriend to move in here, Lance!" he fussed.  "There is not enough money in this house to feed three mouths."
"Dude, Lance."  I responded.  "We just wanted to be around each other all the time.  Look, she has a job, so she can help with the bills.  She said she would."
"Hmmm.  I guess that's the only good thing about her being in this apartment.  But it still isn't evened out...It is unfair for you to sit on your behind all day, as we work."
"Yeah, and I just can't find a job.  Look, here's two hundred bucks."
"Like where did you get that money?  You didn't borrow this from your dad, did you?"
"Naw, I just do yard work, you know, cut grass."
"Good, at least it's a honest..um...way to make money."

It really sucked when Ivy went to work...she worked late, so I laid in bed all lonely and went to sleep alone.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_769ac0b4.jpg]


One night, she came home early...she'd gotten demoted.  She ran into the house upset and came straight to me.

"What happened?"  I asked.
"I'd gotten demoted.  My boss gave me the option of getting laid off or demoted, with a way lower salary.  So I chose the demotion.  This is gonna be bad news, especially to Antonio.  So, we just can't have a lot of luxuries...well, we didn't anyways, but we have to be less comfy."
"It's cool, babe.  At least you have a job.  I'm trying to get a job to add to the diminishing pool of funds in this household."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_169ac0c9.jpg]


"Thanks, Lance.  I'm really glad that I can talk to you."
"Honored, Ivy.  Know what, this is just a bad time.  It will pass, trust me.  Now, can we cuddle together for just one night...I'm glad I don't have to be alone."
"You know, I have to tell Michael when he comes home.  You two are just like a second family."
"Okay, babes, less chatty chatty."

(Michael Antonio's POV)

When I gotten home from work, Ivy opened the door to now their bedroom.  Yeah, we switched bedrooms, because...of reasons.  Lance never slept in his bed anyways...he used to be always in my old bed, on the sofa, or on the floor.  So, it was just less stressful to switch and we could have each other's beds. 

Ivy wasn't dressed appropriately, but it wasn't anything new, she was always like that since she moved in with Lance.  She sat down on the sofa by me and stared at me. 

"Look, I am Lance's cousin.  I will never betray him by cheating with his girl."
"No, Michael Antonio."  Ivy groaned.  "Yeah, sorry for the way I look, but I got demoted today.  I still have my job, but I'm not getting paid as much."

She then told me what happened.

"At least you have a job."  I responded.  "And thanks for telling me."

For real, it was a benefit that she moved in.  She was honest and it took a lot of stress off of me from paying for everything.  We all were getting alone just fine.

After getting settled in, I decided to check on Sandy.  It had been three weeks since we last talked.  She just never picked up my phone calls and she stopped answering my knocks.  It all started when she introduced me to her boyfriend.  I guess I was jealous, but didn't know it.

"Antonio, this is my boyfriend, Salas."  she introduced him.  "Well, he is my fiancee...he just proposed to me."

I didn't really know how much I felt for Sandy.  I didn't know I loved her like that.  When she said that, I could just feel my heart breaking into two.  I guess I gave her a facial expression that showed how I really felt...I had that habit of not controlling my facial expressions.

"That...is...great, I guess."  I mumbled.  And it was the last time I saw her.  I wanted to apologize and tell her the truth...I wanted us to be friends again.

(Lance's POV)

One day, we were eating dinner together and the glass just shattered.

"Lance, I'm pregnant."  Ivy announced.
"What?"  I questioned her.  "You're pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"So what are you gonna do?"

Ivy picked a egg off her salad and threw it at my face and hit me in the forehead.

"You're the daddy, Lance!  What did you think this was?  I'd been dressing in front of you forever!"
"I just thought that you were getting fat.  I mean, it's cool.  Everyone doesn't stay perfect forever."
"So, I gained 10 pounds in 2 1/2 months because of nothing?!"
"Well, you never told me, so I just thought that you was just getting fat."
"So, you wasn't at least gonna ask me why was I getting so fat?"
"No, I don't want you to kick my head off my shoulders.  So, you got any check-ups yet?"
"Yeah, that's the second news.  You really need to find a job."
"Yeah, with this baby coming and everything."
"Yep, it is gonna be expensive...and having five mouths to feed in this house with two jobs is gonna kill us."
"But it's just you, me, Michael Antonio, and the baby?"
"No, we're having two.  That's why you seriously need to find a job.  You are such a pain, instead of not getting me pregnant at all, you have to give me twins."  (Honestly, the game loves twins, I didn't want twins in a cramped apartment)
"I'm...sorry?"
"You better do anything to make that paper, Lance, because these babies aren't gonna wait in my belly for you."
"Ivy, you know that Michael Antonio is gonna die."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_569ac026.jpg]


"Hey, Dad."  I greeted him over the phone.  "How are you?"
"I'm cool, Lance."
"How are the kids?"
"Awesome!  Now what do you need?  Each time you call up checking on us like that, something's up."
"Ha...um...yeah.  You see, can I have my inheritance now?"
"I'm not dead, so no...and what makes you want it now?"
"Well, Ivy is having twins, and you see..."
"Lance, you did NOT get that girl pregnant?!"
"I did.  And we are freaking broke, and I am writing my will right after I get off the phone with you.  It is under my bed, because Michael Antonio is gonna kill me."
"Look, you gotten yourself into this Lance, I just cannot keep on giving you money.  But here is what I will do."
"What is that?"
"If Ivy and the kids ever get kicked out or whatever, they can live over with me, but you can't unless you have a job."
"Yeah, nice way to treat your son."
"It's called tough love, Lance.  I am surprised that Michael Antonio is letting you live off him."

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_369ac579.jpg]


(Michael Antonio's POV)

When I finally gotten home, Ivy didn't have on a huge shirt, and it looked like she was pregnant.  I then felt white hairs growing on my head.

"So you're pregnant?"  I asked her.
"Yeah."  she responded.  "Twins.  Look, we can go, well, I can.  You just been too nice."
"Naw, I can't kick you up.  I mean, those babies will be family, and I just can't do that."
"Thanks.  I am trying to see if I can find a better paying job.  I got an interview tomorrow."
"Lance needs an interview.  What is he doing about this pregnancy?"
"Nothing.  He said the same thing that he has always been saying.  He said he can't find a job."

I said nothing else, and fixed my plate.  I took a pile of salad, because I was really hungry.  I went downstairs to eat, hoping that I would run into Sandy, but she never came.

[Image: snapshot_f699ffaa_769ac686.jpg]


Instead, I met the girl that Lance was trying to woo like a year or so ago.  It turned out that she worked at an office, she was a very determined person, and she was a nice person.  She then invited me into her apartment for dinner.

"Thanks for the dinner."
"No problem, Michael."
"So, this is a really nice place."
"Thanks.  I do a lot of antique shopping.  So, who is that girl living with you?"
"My cousin's now pregnant girlfriend."
"What?  Is he even working, like he never is outside or anything?  Every time I see him, he's in the house."
"Naw, he's a bum.  I would kick him out, but I don't have the heart to.  He's family."
"That's nice, and it sucks."
"So hasn't Sandy talked to you about me?"
"We talk a lot, and she never mentioned you.  She said that you acted like a jerk when she introduced you to her fiancee, but otherwise, she never spoke of you."
"Well, tell Sandy that I didn't mean to be a jerk, and that I really had feelings for her, and it just broked my heart..."
"I will.  You seem like a really nice person.  Are you single?"
"Yeah."
"I am too.  I like am looking forward to settling down."
"I don't know what I want to do.  I am still young, and just got out here into the real world.  I'm only 21."
"So you're interested in dating older women?"
"I would...just not like 20 years older or so.  Really, I don't really know what I wanna do.  I am like in a bind...a finacial bind and my life just needs to be sorted out."

I knew that she was trying to push me into dating her, but I really didn't know if I wanted to date, and I just didn't know if I was emotionally ready for a serious relationship.  I was 21 and I felt old already.

Thanks for the update ^_^
Anyways, poor Ivy and Michael... they're too nice to Lance.
Can't wait to see the kids!

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - phoebe91 - 15-02-2009 09:48 PM

Twins!?

Aye, very awesome new story ^_^ Lance really should find a job lol. Maybe the truth will hit him once he gets his kids...

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 15-02-2009 11:18 PM

Yeah, it's twins.

My game easily gives me twins...well, I always get twins in situations where I don't want twins.

Like in this situation, I barely had room in the apartment for a crib, and I couldn't fit two cribs in that apartment.  I had to like move the whole living room over to fit a second crib in the home.

But each time I want twins, I never get them.

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - phoebe91 - 15-02-2009 11:25 PM

Aye, the same thing happened to me in the Peterson Story. She didn't have room for 1 crib, let alone two. And I always seem to get twins when the family is poor lol.

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - yummybunny - 15-02-2009 11:31 PM

Same with me, my family is making close to nothing.  Ivy, I believe makes no more than $150 a day, due to her demotion.  She could be making less.  Then Michael Antonio is poor too...he'd gotten two promotions, but the bills are so high.

And really, Lance is just an idiot.  He does the funniest things, like break everything, burn everything, etc.  Then he made twins.

Re: The Unique Life of Us (Sims Story Sequel) - phoebe91 - 15-02-2009 11:38 PM

He is very unlucky lol

What apartment complex did you choose? Or is it one that you made yourself? I really need to make my own apartments because the one the game has are generally small because my sims always have kids lol
