1.6 Weird Things

 The first day of fall dawned raining.

Chris: Not that you care so much, sending me to tend the garden under this downpour.

Ah the life of a founder of a legacy.

Chris: Besides, you've been keeping me locked up in this house for two days.

Don't worry, I already have an outing planned for today.

Chris: Perfect day to go out with my infant son.

Chris: Why am I at Lisa's house?

This is the outing, surprise! I need you to break up with Lisa. Too bad romantic interests don't count toward breaking up over text.

Chris: And was it necessary to have brought my son?

No, but I didn't want to spend 75 on the babysitter. (We are saving each simoleons to expand the house.)

Lisa: Mmmmm

Chris: As eloquent as always, don't worry, I'm not here to give you back the child, or criticize the way you dress.

I am criticizing her.

Lisa: Then you can come into my house.

V.J.: What is he doing here? I thought leaving the boy at his house was enough of a message.

Lisa: This is awkward.

Chris: Since we're all adults here, and seeing as how story progression informed me that you're pregnant again and this time by V.J., I think it's better that we clear things up once and for all. I think it's better if we can be just friends.

V.J.: I think it will be for the best, so we can all forget about my wife's indiscretions.

Lisa: Why?! Don't I seem interested enough in you?

Chris: Crazy woman, you just abandoned our son so your husband won't leave you. You don't seem very interested in me.

V.J.: This ins't how I planned to spend my married days.

V.J.: Don't worry, it's the pregnancy hormones that make her angry.

Chris: Ok, I think it's time to get out of here.

Lisa in a nutshell. 

The kitten is taking out his frustration of being adopted by Lisa and V.J. with the newspaper.

Chris: I understand its feeling.

After a week of selling paintings and red berry beans at the elixir shop, Christopher was able to expand his house, just in time for Owen's birthday.

Owen looks a lot like Lisa with some of Chris. He's a cutie because I say so.

Christopher painted his self portrait using the still-life option, but to stick with the rules a bit I waited for him to reach painting level 7 to do it.

*******

Mortimer has finally become a young adult, so it's time to add him to the household.

Morty: One week we couldn't be together due to game mechanics and you already have a son.

Chris: A week is like 5 years in this game.

Not Christopher's best defense, I must admit, but it is the truth.

Morty: This is your house? It's as dark as my parents' but without the comforts.

Chris: Well, I am a legacy founder, what did you expect?

Morty: At least I brought a little money with me.

Chris: Money that the watcher will reduce as soon as you move in.

The game identifies Mortimer as rich and I try to stick to the rules as much as possible. So reducing the 20,000 that Morty came with makes him poorer than Chris.

Mortimer has the Golden Tongue, Golden Finger LTW and is employed as a fan in the music career. I gave him a makeover appropriate for his new job. Chris is totally checking him out.

Chris: I congratulate myself on my tastes.

Morty: I am a work of art.

This is the first time I've seen this, but Mortimer is the boyfriend of two sims. Darlene is also the girlfriend of two sims, the other being Sam Sekemoto. Super weird. Maybe it's because Morty asked Chris about going steady at the prom and the game didn't take it as valid? Who knows.

Luckily it is easily solvable. It amuses me that both boys have had a thing with the Bunch girls.

After solving the problem of his double relationship it was time to go to work. A few hours later, while Morty was still in the theater, Christopher received a message from Mortimer.

I accepted but nothing happened.

Look at my three boys skilling. I think this little family needs a girl.

Not what I was thinking. 

Morty: Maybe we can steal her so Owen can grow up with his sister, what do you think?

Chris: It's not a bad idea, with us she will have more stability than with Lisa and V.J.

No.

NO! What is wrong with you?!

Chris: I am irresistibly unforgettable.

Now, this way of adding a baby? I approve.

I hadn't thought of teaching Owen his toddler skills but Christopher wished to teach him to talk. He is imparting his wisdom on love.

Chris: Be careful who you interact with, sometimes those hearts floating in your head when you meet someone aren't so good.

Something he knows very well.

1.5 The Consequences of Casual Dating

With this chapter we officially start the legacy. 

Chris: It's been 4 months since the last update, I feel a bit abandoned.

I know, I know, there's no other excuse other than that I was playing other saves that aren't being blogged.

Look, I built you a little house.

Chris: It's smaller than the last one.

But the lot is bigger.

Chris: Yes! I have a light!

Your enthusiasm is a bit exaggerated.

Chris: What do we do now?

Nothing very different from what we were doing.

Chris: So going to the park to make money?

Chris: This is very relaxing.

What is not relaxing is the continuous attention from Lisa Bunch.

According to the relationship panel, Lisa is still a teenager, so no.

Chris: If she wasn't a teen then it would be a yes? I thought you were determined for Mortimer to be my future spouse.

Oh, yes, I am, but Morty still has a week before aging up and if I'm not mistaken tomorrow is Lisa's birthday. So you could do a little of casual dating before committing to a serious relationship.

Chris: You know this is the sims 3, right? This game doesn't know the concept of casual dating. But well, I already have a naughty reputation so why not.

After several hours of fishing, Christopher joined a group conversation.

Pudding face girl: Then he told me that I had a forgettable face.

Tori: It's rude to say that we all think the same.

Chris: Yes, but it the truth.

Madison: Let's pretend we're talking about cooking.

Not so pudding face (who I edited because he married Madison): Yes, anything instead of listening to her.

Madison: Boring.

Chris: So boring.

Susan: You both know that pudding face is gone, right?

Tori: Madison's yawn seems more genuine than yours, Chris.

In the evening, Christopher started a garden on his new property. He is level 5 in gardening so this will be one of the three skills he'll max for his LTW.

No, it's not what you think. He just doesn't have a chair yet to comfortably read the newspaper. 

There was a lot of rain on his graduation day. 

As a former teen runaway, there was no one with him at his graduation, but that didn't stop Christopher from celebrating getting a diploma.

Chris: Best of all, I didn't go to school for a single day, but they let me graduate anyway.

His peers voted him Most Popular, which is a great achievement since hardly anyone recognized him. I'm inclined to think that Lisa sabotaged the vote to get those results.

Chris: Do you think she would go that far?

For getting your attention? Yes, she would.

A celebratory meal by himself. It's a bit pathetic to tell the truth.

Chris: Not as pathetic as Michael Bachelor hiding behind some bushes. I saw him graduate with me and his family wasn't there, at least I've the excuse of not having a family.

Or his wife, according to SP he and River McIrish are married. She wasn't there either.

Christopher met Lisa by chance and I took the opportunity to look at her age with MC, today is her birthday as I had said. 

And a question that has nothing to do with this: Why does Susan always appear near my founder? I hope she's not stalking him.

Speaking of lucky things, Mortimer ran by the front sidewalk and I also took the opportunity to look at his age, he still has 6 days before being a young adult.

With not much else to do, Chris spent the rest of the day painting.

The next day Chris invited Lisa over and I found out her name was now Lisa Bunch Alvi, apparently I missed the notification about her and VJ getting married. The angry face in the speech bubble is because she and VJ have been seen at each other throats. Not the best start to a marriage.

Her new marriage doesn't stop her from flirting with Chris.

Or kissing him.

Or doing other things(surrounded by photos of Chris and Mortimer together.)

Lisa: This was fun, let's never mention this to anyone and no will ever find out.

Chris: I agree.

I hope it has nothing to do with my founder.

Chris: Of course not, what happened here is only between us and no one else.

Christopher joined the gardener career, that was the first wish he had related to a job, so why not. At least it's something different from the very used fishing career.

Chris: You were saying.

Oh hush you, this is just for fertilizing.

The next few days weren't very interesting, Chris dedicated himself to his skills and fixing the toilet which is always breaking.

Chris: It might be interesting if you let me out of the house and not keep me tied to the plants or the easel.

Soon it will be time for Morty to move in and we need money to expand the house.

Christopher was invited to a pool party at Jamie Jolina's house.

Chris: Yes! I can leave home.

Luckily there was a pool at the house so the party was well named. What was not very lucky is that Jamie married and had children with a pudding face. So I seized the moment and edited the husband and then played with genetics with the kids. Thank you, master controller.

Chris and Jamie felt attracted to each other. I hope this doesn't turn into another Lisa situation.

Jamie: You're very hot while eating hotdogs.

Chris preferred not to answer.

The next day was very rainy, so Christopher stayed home to paint. 

He also paid the bills a day late and checked the mail. Of course, there was a letter from Lisa.

Nothing's happening, Lisa.

Lisa: Are you sure?

What?

Chris: Err.

I sent Christopher over to Lisa and VJ's house to meet his son, but by the time he got there, no one was home.

When Chris returned home, he found a surprise at the door. I think we already know where the Bunch-Alvi had gone.

Chris: Yes, to my house to drop a baby. It's raining!

We are talking about Lisa and VJ, do not expect much responsibility from them.

Chris: You poor thing, now you're safe with me.

What have we come to that my founder is responsible one? But hey, we already have generation 2 and a point for this legacy.
