After days and days of birthday excitement, I decided to have the family go on a nice outing. The next time everyone was out of work or school, I sent them to the library! Diana had wanted to read some book or other and I sent her there with the whole family.
Frank wasted no time in scratching up the place like he lived there.
Apparently the ambiance of the library was enough to inspire both Linda and Clark to do their homework, though. Score!
Kent stayed home for whatever reason, but he did his homework too! Three kids doing their homework at the same time in an ISBI? I should get an award for that.
Ghost-Diana agrees.
After finishing his homework, Kent decided to complain about the furniture.
Then he demonstrated his werewolf table manners by having ice cream for lunch!
You know, I could get behind the idea of eating ice cream for lunch when I had the house to myself!
But I'd use a spoon, Kent.
Back at the library, Clark fights with the suls.
But I don't think that he won the argument.
Now here's where things got interesting... Diana of the no-wings cast a fairy charm on Clark! She actually exhibited a fairy interaction! Autonomously! (They don't come up a available interactions when I click on her, either.)
It's like she's only a fairly subconsciously or something.
Clark thought that it was such a good trick that he immediately tried it out on Diana.
She was not amused.
Really though, Diana, you're the one who just taught him to do that! What did you expect?
Meanwhile, Kent exhibits the Frank cleaning trait while home alone.
It's about now that I realize that I never did replace the counter and stove after Frank tried to burn down the house.
As a reward for a clean sink... new stove!
No fails this chapter!
I just love it when my ISBI family can actually get off its home lot. It takes a lot of effort! Plus I've found that grouping up in a group larger than 2 or 3 people never seems to work. It's not a big deal in other games, but I WANT that auto-grouping with my ISBI!
ReplyDeleteThe Diana's autonomous magic was fascinating! You made me go do another search on Diana's anti-fairy affliction. The best I can find is that it appears that if some outdated mods were in place when the fairy was created, the sim might not be fixed when the mod is removed. Clearly Clark is fine so you don't have anything inhibiting fairies in general. Have you tried editing her using MC, setting her to human, exiting out, editing her with MC AGAIN and making her a fairy again?
Just me being a techie :).
Everyone did their homework! It seems to be in the air!
Also, MC has a Reset Sim option under Advanced that is supposedly more powerful than the resetsim cheat. I've never used it.
DeleteI haven't tried saving her as human and then switching back to fairy... good idea! I'll definitely try that. The whole fairy-not-fairy thing is so weird.
DeleteI've used the reset sim in MC before and it works really well, but it didn't lead to her expressing her fairyness.
As you'll see in the next chapter (I think), I was very successful in getting almost everyone out of the house... not so much in getting them to go home together!
Yay, no fails! Your idiots are doing very well now. Even cleaning autonomously and stuff - impressive! :D
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to be managing pretty well now that everyone is getting older! If only they'd stop clawing furniture!
DeleteClark has found the fairy tricks. Oh boy. Have fun with that ... ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, for the record. If Frank turned up in MY library and started scratching up the furniture, I'd chuck him out. No matter how cue and adorable he is ...
Yeah, I'm having enough trouble with the Wonderland cat zoo destroying all the furniture. I'm getting to be afraid to play idiot werewolves!
DeleteCan you use reinforcement on them to train them out of destroying things?
Well, *technically* Frank was still outside the library when he scratched up the planter...
DeleteBut, yeah, that's why we're not replacing any furniture in the home! When Linda takes over, she should have enough money to buy a few new things though.
I haven't tried reinforcement... I'll have to check on that!
