1.33 He's not stinky, he's my brother

Previously on "It's a Wonder-full Life": The family visited the library, but mostly stayed outside. Frank scratched up a planter that didn't belong to him. The kids all did their homework! Diana suddenly started using Fairy tricks but still has no wings. Clark has wings and uses Fairy tricks. Kent stayed home to be a responsible were-kid and clean the house. No fails!



Still at the library, Clark perfects his Fairy trick. You'd think that Diana wouldn't fall for it over and over again.

You'd be wrong.









But at least she stopped getting mad at Clark every time.



Stinky Kent finished cleaning the kitchen and decided to rule over the dining room for awhile.



Plus, he's switched back to kid form!



After Diana had to go to work, Clark wandered home from the library to shake his groove thang. He just can't contain his need to dance. (Kind of like Kevin Kline!)



Back at the library, poor Frank tries to reason with were-girl emotions. Linda is such a moody teen!



"NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!!"



Clark is a good sport about listening to Kent complain about the furniture. He's a good big brother.



You know, since Clark has never caused any damage around the house and all! Everyone hates the furniture, but it's the ones who've destroyed it who complain the most often.

I'll bet that they're just trying to get me to buy them new things to scratch up.

Not gonna happen!



Eventually, not even Clark can be handle the stench of stinky Kent! Kent is not offended, though.



Later, Clark proves again just how awesome he is by putting still-stinky-but-now-quite-dapper Kent to bed.



It's just so sweet!



Also, no fails again!

1.32: Of Libraries and Fairies

Previously on "It's a Wonder-full Life": It was a long time between chapters! Kent skipped school and Clark got in trouble for it, which sounds about right for little/big brother. Diana had an actual birthday and Linda was forced to grow up a little, too. She makes for a very emotional teen!



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!

1.31 Were-girl emotions

Previously on "It's a Wonder-full Life": Frank tried to burn down the house, but Diana forgave him because she has a thing for werewolves. Linda had a birthday, but decided to stay a child for a little while longer. Then she passed out a couple of times. Because she won't stay in her bed. Ever. Frank and Kent also failed. Clark was nowhere to be found because he likes to go to school and then forget to come home.



Ugh, Kent. Watermelon shorts, muscle shirt, AND you're going to pass out? It's like an idiot trifecta.



No, Diana. Just no.



Were-Kent actually got on the bus to go to school! Then he got off halfway there. Then he ran the rest of the way. I just don't get were-Kent.



Of course, when he got there he decided not to go in after all. What is it with werewolves and actually going to school/work?



Clark got in trouble for something, but I can't remember what. Probably for skipping school. I'm pretty sure that he went, though, and Frank should have been scolding someone else. Poor Clark in the corner, though!



He went right out and did his homework after that, though. He's such a good kid!



Diana became an actual adult. I don't know why I don't have a better picture of it!



After a full day of letting Linda walk around as a child, I triggered her to age up with MasterController. I'm not sure if this follows the rules of an ISBI or not, but it needed to be done!



So here's teen Linda! She'll become the torch holder on her next birthday. Assuming she ages up.



Were-Frank likes to kick over the garbage can.



Werewolves are weird.



Apparently, Linda was so distraught over me forcing her to become a teen that she couldn't take it! The horror, the horror!

Seriously, she gives "over-emotional" a new meaning. (Is that even one of her traits? I'll have to go back and check.)














Poor Linda.

Two steps forward, one step back.

FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY got the supernatural version of the Wonders to upload to the exchange!

Check it out! (Also, under the "media" tab is a quick, little video of Clark dancing, recommended for all you Clark fans!)

In other news, the Hodgins file that we rescued was apparently glitched. They played just fine for a short time, and then started crashing within 10 minutes of loading the household. No matter which save I used. Even with no mods or custom content. So I loaded them into the library and moved them to a new version of Appaloosa Plains. At least they're playable now!

1.30 Teenage werewolf... no, wait...

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Linda passed out, a lot, and we wondered if she would ever stay in bed. Kent had a birthday and became a cute little were-kid with surprisingly good traits! Clark made a friend and then brushed his teeth a lot. When he got home, he passed out. Then he got freaked out by Frank's transformation and passed out again, but that one doesn't count.



Kent decided to go to school! He also picked out a reasonable outfit for his first day and looked suitably serious about the whole thing. Don't be scared, Kent, school's not nearly as bad as Linda has probably been telling you!



Frank got hungry so he decided to start some waffles. Then he decided to go to work for once! About halfway to the carpool, he wondered if he was forgetting something so he decided to skip work after all.

As much as I want you to go to work and earn some money, leaving in the middle of cooking is always a bad idea! Go back and finish!



But it was too late.



Way to go, Frank! (Do you see him fleeing the scene of the crime? Coward.)



You'll notice that Linda skipped school again. Though, apparently, Clark and Kent both made it so I guess two out of three ain't bad!



Since no one bothered to put out the fire, a fire fighter had to come and rescue the house. She paused first to complain about the furniture. Everyone hates the scratched up furniture!



Even as she's fighting the fire, she's complaining about the furniture. Also, it might be handy if she could hose down Linda while she's there... get rid of some of that stink.





In the midst of fire panic, everyone hates on the furniture!



All is apparently forgiven, though, as Frank and Diana sit down for a slightly singed breakfast. I'm not actually sure what they're eating here since it has to be leftovers. Burnt mac and cheese, maybe?



Diana takes a moment to tell Frank to lay off of the furniture. Frank likes the view. (I love that you can see the green cloud that is Linda floating by.)



After almost going to work and then deciding against it, Frank got demoted. Poor Frank. At least he's not fired yet!

And then, romance. I wonder if she'll get him into the shower this time?



Eventually, it's Linda's birthday!



Oh, the drama of a were-girl becoming a teen.



Really, Frank? Have you seen the little room with the toilet? Even in werewolves are potty trained, right?



Linda blew out the candles and gained the "can't stand art" trait. But there were no sparkles and eventually she wandered off to pass out.



Kent almost made it to bed, but not quite.



Not-teen Linda had a werewolf snack.



And then passed out again. Sigh.



It's been awhile since I played through this and I can't remember where Clark was during the party! I hope he was having fun!

Also, I'm not replacing the stove until Frank promises to not burn the house down.

Intermission

I spent my potential Sim time today uploading the Wonders!

(They're just on the Exchange because I'm not all techy like Susan.)

I have both Supernatural and Human versions of the kids, aged to young adult. I also put up an all human version of the whole family as it stands now (Clark and Linda are teens, Kent is a child). There should also be the supernatural version of the family, but it's not there and I don't know why. I'll have to try to figure that out another day!

So, go here: DragonWife Studio

Unfortunately, spending my whole morning editing sims and moving them in and out of households and uploading them means that I didn't get any time to actually play! There won't be a Hodgins update until I get more game time, but I do have pictures ready to go for the Wonders so there should be a new ISBI chapter later this week.
