Generation 2 Heir Poll

In the interest of complete randomness, I've decided to follow good advice and  put the selection of Torch Holder up to the masses (the 5 or 6 of you...)! I have my favorite, of course, but I love them all and frequently change my mind!

This is a little spoilery since I waited until I played through the next couple of birthdays, so Linda and Kent are older here than they are currently in the story. Also, no one has LTWs locked in yet since I don't click on them and can't see whether they've made any choices.


So, should it be Clark:

Screenshot-9

Screenshot-11

His traits so far are: Insane, Couch Potato, Hydrophobic, and Easily Impressed. He's also first born and the only fairy child.



Or should it be Linda:

Screenshot-116

Screenshot-130

Her traits so far are: Insane, Loser, Friendly, and Can't Stand Art. She's a werewolf, middle child, and somehow came out purple.



Or should it be Kent:

Screenshot-65

Screenshot-89

His traits so far are: Insane, Genius, and Bookworm. He's also a werewolf and the baby of the family.


Vote over there on the side bar or leave me a comment with your choice! I'll leave the poll up for a week so that it will be all decided by the time I get a chance to play again.

1.27 Frank laughs at death

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Linda had her first full moon experience, even though she'd been a wolf for awhile. She was also destructive and awesome. Frank spent a whole day looking human before turning back into a werewolf. Kent learned how to destroy furniture. Clark was not amused.


Diana really likes her husband. Frank hates the furniture. Even though it's basically his fault that there are so many little werewolves running around scratching things up.

Screenshot-151

Since it was a full moon (I guess?) we were visited by zombie-Grim. He tried to zombie attack Frank but Frank just laughed at him. I wouldn't do that if I were you, Frank. Not only does Grim work with Diana, he has the ability to make your transition to the next life quite painful!

Frank still hates the scratched up furniture.

Screenshot-152

Linda was tired so she asked for a bedtime story. Diana happily obliged.

Screenshot-153

Then Linda got up and failed outside of her room.

Why would you do that, Linda? You were in bed!

Screenshot-154

Diana threw a party for Clark's birthday! It never works out that she gets to socialize, but it's kind of a tradition now.

Stan is apparently still carrying a torch for her.

Screenshot-155

It's so much better when they can get to the cake by themselves!

Screenshot-158

Yay! A birthday!

Screenshot-159

Woah. Sparkles.

Screenshot-160

Oooh! Tingly!

Screenshot-161

And here's Clark as a teen. His outfit is not nearly as bad as it could be! And he's pretty cute. He picked up the Couch Potato trait.

Screenshot-163

He looks like he should have rolled a cranky trait!

Screenshot-165

Linda did not make it through the party.

Screenshot-166

This is a nice little family picture, though. The only one missing is Kent since he was put to bed earlier by Frank!

Screenshot-167

The countdown starts, though. Clark will either become torch holder or be kicked out at his next birthday! (And I love Linda quite a lot, so... it's not looking good for him!)

1.26 Raised by wolves?

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Frank took good care of the kids and no one failed! Diana spent time trying to give away free psychic readings, but it was a hard sell.


The sink is still broken. I keep having Diana call for repair, but the repairman is always distracted and forgets what he is there for. Looks like it might have actually gotten fixed this time, though! Because then Linda did her best to get all of the attention.

Screenshot-137

I had Diana start teaching Kent to walk. If he's lucky, he might get a skill in before he grows up.

Screenshot-138

Linda does not like that all of the attention was not focused on her, apparently. She did this for no reason that I could figure out.

Screenshot-139

Screenshot-140

Screenshot-141

Ha! Take that!

Screenshot-142

The next time that I checked in on her, she looked like this.

I love you, Linda.

Screenshot-144

Sigh. Clark's favorite chair gets hit by Kent.

Clark is unimpressed.

Also, I have no idea where Frank got that burger, no one's cooked for days!

Screenshot-147

Synchronized Daddy-Daughter fur-sploding with simultaneous complaining!

Screenshot-148

Screenshot-149

Awww... Kent failed after tiring himself out destroying furniture.

1.25 No one appreciates a free reading

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Diana and Frank got frisky and then he finally turned back to his human form. Linda wolfed for the first time, though, and then destroyed the dining set. Clark failed but then danced. Kent was no where to be seen.


Well, here's Kent! Looking all cute with Frank!

Screenshot-113

Linda finally took a turn being royalty... werewolf royalty, but that's a minor quibble. Clark was smart enough to show the proper respect so as not to incur the wrath of his touchy sister.



The family got invited to a party, but Diana's the only one who managed to actually go. Frank stayed home with the kids, doing what he does best. He's such a good dad!

Diana is still trying to get enough private readings done to get her promotion. Zoe Durwood was game!

Screenshot-126

Then she asked Param Singh, but he refused.

Screenshot-127

Rick Durwood considered it...

Screenshot-128

... but, no.

Screenshot-129

Jack Skipper also said no. As did James Younan. You'd think that they didn't trust her!

Screenshot-130

Meanwhile, it's 2am and the kids are all still up. Frank keeps trying to put them to bed, but they keep popping back up for one reason or another.

Screenshot-133

Like being hungry. Linda is a frustrated kid.

Screenshot-134

Diana got home from her last failed attempt at a private reading so I sent her to take care of Kent. Apparently, this is the first time that Diana has seen her daughter all wolfed out.

Screenshot-135

Frank was mad at me for sending Diana in to pick up Kent. He wanted to feed the baby!

1.24 It's the sofa's fault.

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Linda had her first day of school. Clark had his first day of skipping school. Diana went back to work and everyone survived!


Linda wanted to do her homework, but Frank somehow managed to slip into the chair before she was able to sit down! Because there are no other chairs, of course. And then she decided not to do her homework after all. Crazy Sims.

Screenshot-91

Diana needs to do some private readings. She started with Frank.

Who is still a werewolf! There's only one more day until the next full moon!

Screenshot-92

Then, Frank "sniffed" her. She really liked it. A lot.

Screenshot-94

So much so, that she gave him a belly rub. He really liked that.

These two are so weird.

Screenshot-97

Linda and Clark had a nice lunch together. I love how much he wears his tux, very dapper.

I don't know who broke the sink again, though. Someone should fix that.

Screenshot-101

Did you know that werewolves will fur-splode when they're frustrated? Even if they're in a good mood otherwise?

I didn't.

And, can I just remind Linda that she's the one who tore up the sofa???

Screenshot-103

Cute, though! In a beastly kind of way.

Screenshot-104

Really, Clark? You were in the bathroom! You couldn't make it?

Screenshot-106

Hey! Frank's back! Finally!

Screenshot-107

Clark, dancing in the puddle in his tux. Clark is pretty awesome.

Screenshot-108

Were-Linda has a fight with her hand. With those claws, I'm pretty sure the hand will win...

Screenshot-109

... which apparently means that the dining table MUST DIE!

Screenshot-111

The idiot kids drive me nuts sometimes. But then, the Frank cleaning genes always kick in and I can't stay mad at them.
