Introduce yourself Laine!
Laine: Hello.
Just look at that pretty blank expression.... Way to make an impression Laine.
Laine: Maybe if you gave me more exciting clothing options...
What's wrong with leggings and a tank top?! They're adorable! You know you were created from my Simself... The much talented Cogitotoro made your base. I just did a bit of tweaking.
Laine: Oh... Okay I get it, tattoos, red hair, cat eye, freckles...
Yep! Just messed with your nose a bit!
Laine: Looks like I'm workin' with some more assets upstairs too...
Well, yes you know you were just based on my simself...
Laine: And your hips look a bit bigger than mine...
Heh, yes well ok, roughly based. Wait til you pop out a kid and see what happens, moving on!
Laine is Creative, a Bookworm, and Active. Her aspiration is to become a Painter Extraordinaire. She quickly began messing on her phone, I don't blame her with a huge lot of nothingness in front of her.
Oh! We have a visitor! Why are you perturbed by this Laine? Go say hi!
They exchanged their hellos and a few jokes. Unfortunately J Huntington III is already living in the world, which makes him uneligible as a spouse. Goodbye J.
No bother though, spouse hunting must continue on! So where does Laine head to to find her eligible bachelor? The bar of course...
Hmm... Lot's of women here. Ah well, it's always good to make a few lady friends. Laine introduced herself to these two (both of which I have no idea what their names are) and got to know them a bit.
Brunette was quite pretty and they hit it off pretty quickly. J popped up shortly after and gave Laine a sideways glance as he walked past. Stop it J, you are not eligible! Plus, I don't think Laine could handle your Bro trait.
Laine: Newp.
See? Now shoo!
Some more chatting with pretty brunette, some jokes about politicians, and oh! An eligible bachelor! Look quick!
Not really digging the cowboy hat, and the facial hair could go, but time is of the essence here. We have a legacy to begin!
Unfortunately, Cowboy here turned out to be not so favorable. He was a slob, lazy, and some other undesirable trait. That along with that facial hair gives him a kick to the curb.
At this point, we had spent most of the day at the bar with no luck. Laine had just about given up and headed straight to the gym. If she can't find find a hubby she might as well sweat it out.
Nice effort there chica...
J found his way to the gym shortly after (stalker much?) and there were quite a few other townies. The Landgraab's, the hot Caliente dude, and a few more. Nothing peaked her interest much. Until...
Laine: Whoa there Maker, whoa, this dude is waaaay too jacked. Where is his neck?! I don't want to marry a meathead!
But he doesn't currently live in this world so he's eligible... And we've had zero luck so far! Just try for me okay?!
So what does she do? She shows off her muscles... Check out these guns.
It was well received, and they were quickly chatting each other up. Meet Devon. We learned that he is Active, just like Laine. Well that wasn't a surprise.
Laine's already cracking herself up.
Laine: Look at his mustache!!! Hahahaha!
Yeah that's gonna have to go.
They kept chatting and getting to know one another, because well, what else are you supposed to do at the gym? Suddenly this naked woman comes downstairs, all nonchalant like. No one seemed to notice. Alright then...
It was getting dark and Laine invited Devon over to her house, err, lot I mean. There's no shame in this family. Take it or leave it dude.
Fortunately, Devon could care less. He began doing sit ups as soon as we got there.
Laine was hungry so she made herself some yogurt. I'm not sure what's so funny here...
Laine: Dude! His mustache!!!
I know, I know...
They chatted over yogurt and to my surprise they were already friends. Wow, that was quick. Perhaps they are compatible after all!
Laine asked him to move in, no point in wasting time right? And once he is a part of my active household we can stop looking at that atrocious mustache.
Ahh! Much better! I did a little makeover, not too much but his every day clothes were pretty painful to look at. I should have gotten a picture. I think these are his formal clothes, actually, but he's not sporting the caterpillar lip anymore so that's a plus. Devon is a Snob, Materialistic, and as we know, Active. His aspiration is Nerd Brain. Interesting. He also joined the household with a level 10 in the fitness skill.
Aw, the new roomies taking a selfie together. You guys are too cute.
And of course they need to check it out after...
Alright, Devon is officially moved in. He came to the family with $20,000. Thank goodness, we can finally get you off the lawn. But first, we have some wooing to do.
Laine: The mustache is gone, I can work with this.
Yes, we understand you didn't care for the mustache...
That was smooth.
It worked though, and things began heating up. Straight from cuddling on the single bed to hand holding. Alright.
And our first kiss! Laine looks a little caught off guard.
Devon's really pulling out the charm here. A rose?
And it's well received. Regardless, I really can't take Devon seriously. Making him over was tough. Everything looked hilarious on him, he's just too big up top with tiny little boy hips. Oi.
Their first woohoo they got straight down to business to try to make that baby. By this point they were sweethearts.
Unfortunately, no pregnancy this time around. All that woohoo has made the two of them a bit ripe. Laine is smiling like an idiot, while Devon whistles a tune in the shower.
He is seriously the buffest sim I've ever met. Jeez.
With money in the bank, it was about time we made a little home. I am not a builder, have never been a builder, so bear with me. However, the new building system is a lot more user friendly for us building challenged folks. So perhaps I'll look up some tutorials and tips and make a somewhat decent house. For now though, we have this...
And the inside. Going with a monochromatic theme for the time being. Stuck Laine's easel and Devon's chess set outside. It won't kill them to get some fresh air.
After the house was built Laine made it official and asked Devon to be exclusive. Here they are taking their first official couple selfie for SimBook. And the walls are still half up. Whoops.
Laine was exhausted and pretty rank at this point so she hopped in their new tub, quickly drifting off to sleep. Poor girl.
While Devon got to browsing intelligence. Oh yes, they have careers now. I figured with Devon's Nerd Brain aspiration and his level 10 fitness skill he would make a good secret agent. Laine went into the painter career, obviously.
Laine's taking an awful long time in the tub so Devon get's straight to cooking. Eggs are good for breakfast.
They chat over their eggs. Or more so Laine chats, and Devon does a lot of smiling and nodding.
I'm assuming Devon's level 10 in fitness warranted him a "Practice fighting" option. It intrigued me too much not to try it.
Laine is clearly jostled from that exchange. Do you blame her? Devon is like, the Hulk. I'm surprised he didn't give her a black eye.
To my great amusement, and despite her thrown for a loop look, they both laughed it off and increased their relationship from it. Laine reaches in for an embrace.
Your boyfriend just pretended to beat your ass and now you're flirting with him. Oh sweetie.
Devon puts the moves back on her and she's instant putty.
Laine has a great idea and proposes it to Devon. Woohoo?
No sim can pass up good woohoo. Even if we are so exhausted we're dragging our feet to the bedroom. Laine is feeling confident at this point and struts into the bedroom with her chest out.
Come onnnn baby making!
Success! Laine is eating for two!
Baby confetti! Weee!
Laine: Oh wow, something's not right.
Welcome to pregnancy my dear! It's all stretchmarks and morning sickness from here on out!
After that brief bout of nausea, she quickly runs to Devon to share the good news. He is thrilled.
With both of them having jobs now and the baby making deed done, they get to skill building time. Devon's Nerd Brain aspiration requires him to reach level 4 in logic, so he continues his chess adventures. Laine on the other hand, gets straight to painting.
Full on squint eye McGee here. Maybe it helps her paint.
They worked on skills for the duration of the day, when Laine decides to go on an evening jog. Look at her pregnant belly! So cute!
Laine: No stretchmarks for me!
Right.
Welp, that's it for Chapter one folks! Tune in next time for The Hart's first couple days at work, baby preparation, and Nooboo's! Will we have a son? A daughter? Could this be the next heir!? We'll see!
But first, check out this super pathetic Laine eating her eggs. She hates being smelly and sick all the time. Poor thing.
