I put a spell on you... The Maldicion Legacy. [1.5]

In the last Maldicion entry, our intrepid family got a visit from Tosha Go, and the twins aged from baby to toddler, and toddler to kid.  Xavier got himself probed by aliens, again.  This time, however, it was an accident.

Twins Jedah and Teagan turned out to be quite self-sufficient.

Alarmingly so.  A little bit of jello in the background, and they didn't even wonder where their parents were.

Outright ignore them, really.

Epsilon: OMG WTF HAPPENED TO MY EYES?!
Relax Epsi, it's only temporary. I'm trying out default replacements.

Epsilon: Okay then.
... How did you get my number, anyway?

Remember, this?  Pop one.  Epsilon's status as obvious heir is now threatened.

I have no doubt Xavier will be a great father to this new child as well.

And the Maldicions now benefit from my new default skintones.  Also, LaShawn has a tendency to stand around in her sensible underwear, like you do when you're a Family sim.  Standing around in smexy lingerie is for Romance sims, kthx.

The Twins: Parents? We don't need no stinking parents!

They are quite adorable.

Teagan: My older brother is an alien, and thinks he's a shoe-in for heir.
Pretty much true.

Teagan: Just you wait, I'll think of something.

Ma'am, put on some clothes.

Quality time.

Xavier tries to remove some of the vile lazy from his son.

Uh, success?

He'd much rather smoke a bowl blow some bubbles.

Teagan decides that maybe she can be heir if she builds up her body skill.  Er... no.

Oh right, somewhere in there, momma got preggers.  Pop one?

Jedah, not you too.  How many times do I have to tell you kids: you're not gonna be heir!
Jedah: Huh?  Dunno what you're talking about.  I wanna be Bruce Lee when I grow up!
... He's adorable actually.

Really adorable.

We interrupt the cute for another man!pop.

Boring closeup shot, because I forgot to do so when she aged up.  Cute shirt.  I thought it was Daria-esque, but upon closer examination it's a little lipstick lesbian. :)

And the same for Jedah.  Hrm, now that I've finally noticed the neck-seam (in another household) it's like, ALL I FREAKING SEE.  But his face is nice.

Aaand new default alien skin & eyes for Epsi.  I really like the skin, but it doesn't quite go with the no-lips of the default PT, as it has a pronounced lip shadow.  I want to make a proper PT for this skin at some point. Anyway, shortly after this, he left for college.

Painting skillz.  Xavier has them.

"Studies show that 99% of 1st gen alien hybrids are chosen as heir in legacy families."
Teagan: We'll see about that.

Popcorn!

Xavier reconsiders his methods for skilling logic, while LaShawn has a coronary in the background.  Be fair, she wasn't around for Epsi's birth.

Say hello to Orion Maldicion, the only real contender for heir since Epsilon.  In addition, he is my first completely unplanned/scripted/cheated alien birth.  (Epsilon was conceived after Xavier used his knowledge perk, "Summon Aliens".)  So, if there was any doubt before, it's gone.  Black Sheep achieved, and the Family Aspiration is unlocked.  Ugh. [EDIT: Oops, actually I just noticed that the req is "alien/zombie/vampire/werewolf/plant sim", as in all of the above.]

One day later.

LMFAO.  Right after she gave birth, she ran to the bathroom... but didn't quite make it.

It troubled her so much, that she couldn't quite get to sleep either.

Oh right, baby's name is Cheryl.  Brown hair, brown eyes.  Enjoy the craptastic screengrab.

A local townie thought it was cute to knock over the garbage can. (After I had just picked it up again.)  So, Jedah decided to greet him and play catch.  Why, you ask?

As a distraction, of course.

Picspam, and inconvenient sunset, ahead.

I like to think of it this way:
Xavier casts spell while Jedah continues to distract the annoying townie.
Townie starts running around screaming "I'M COVERED IN BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES"
Xavier picks up the can nonchalantly, while the townie realizes it was a trap.  Xavier gloats.

New mod.  Xavier looked fine IMO, but the green kind of interfered with the "look" of some of my other sims.  Sigh.

Minor makeover.  I decided to run with where her hair seemed to be headed.

How about no. For so many reasons, no.

Xavier doesn't need green skin to be evul.

Birfday tiems!

Jawline! D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D:

And WTF is up with his ears?  ORION THIS ISN'T CHOBITS!

Hey guys, are you sure that's appropriate?

I fear I may have neglected Orion a bit while he was growing up.  Got a few warnings from Social Services to boot.  I SWEAR IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE EARS.  I added antibabyharrassment, and it's a bit enthusiastic about curbing autonomous babyfussing.  Not surprising, but as I don't use the babycontroller on this lot...

Cheryl's turn!  OMFG so cute! But... uh, everyone else in the family has relatively straight hair, and she's not going to be heir anyway, so I gave her a muted makeover.

Here, have some Maxis, you adorable little waste of system resources, you.

Glowing baby, and glowing eyes.  Unfortunately he didn't stick around for very long.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF HIS EARS!

Really!

I'm gonna stop now, as I just cleaned out this folder of caps.  However, there's plenty more in gamefolders, so stay tuned. ;)
