Huh. I can't help but notice all the other Torrezes are up to their shiny new skin era. Carmen's being left out of the loop maaan. So rather than letting her fall behind, I'll catch her up a bit. Besides, one might be wondering just
who what she's been doing now that the kids are gone.
The title for this plotline is a reference to
this translation of a Bizet's Opera, "Carmen". The song, and the character herself, remind me of my Carmen. Pure serendipity since I'd discovered it by doing a websearch to see if I could find an appropriately related pop culture reference for the story title.
Note: If you're offended by women in underwear, particularly pregnant ones, I don't know what to tell you other than to not click the link.
Now that the kids are away at college, Carmen is free to truly pursue her LTW. Aided by ACR, she heads over to the local park. For some bizarre reason, Maxis thinks that tophats with
long ponytails are not outer/winterwear. Not only that, but that underneath the hat, her hair is
short. Same with maternity wear, pajamas, and sportswear. Annoying.
Her trip is a bust on the romantic front, but she does get a raging case of gamer's cramp. Also, cameo by my first zombie, Trash Trioxin. Yes I know the original Trash is a girl, but this a tip of the
missing tophat, not an attempt at a fandom character. I can't recall if I'd already installed the
zombie apocalypse mod, but I believe so, because I certainly seemed to hightail her out of there.
Back at the brothel, Carmen returns from work and proves just how hard up she is for a woohoo -- after showering, apparently. Bad Carmen! No! Haven't we learned from Felix's nose? I then had her invite an old girlfriend, who I'm not sure was all that much better, in retrospect.
Then she invited over one of my other CASes, Tyrell Jordan. You can guess what had just happened here. And again, a few times.
I'm pretty sure that Joshua Hartnell (another CAS) was a walk-by. She's gone and fallen in love with him too, and ACR has her listed as having the hots for him. Annoying, since settling down would really cramp the lifestyle I have going for him, and his LTW of 50 first dates. Bad enough that-- hmm, I'll explain later.
Anyway, right around then I decided to download noinstantlove. Because I hate that vanilla!game Romance sims default to falling in love with everyone they've evar woohoo-ed.
Evar. At least sleep with someone a couple of times before you start getting mushy. Especially if you have a LTW of 20 woohoos.
Clear shot of the old girlfriend that was invited earlier. She just sort of showed up at the clothing store, while Carmen was in the mood for public woohoo.
We meet again Joshua.
Godzdamnit! Her tophat's gone again! Oh yeah, and I guess she's
pragnent too.
Pregnancy makes Carmen play the piano.
And the drums.
Another CAS walkby/cameo. This is Joshua's roomate, Derrick Tyler. I'd have him add to the notches on Carmen's bedpost, but he's quite autonomously gay. He also has a huge sekrit crush on Joshua, so I imagine he wouldn't be too happy if he knew what was going on between those two.
Even while pregnant, Carmen prefers to sleep in her undies. Get a load of the preg-belly. Aww.
OHNOES! I was playing in the middle of the night, and the change from relative silence to loud robbery!music startled the shit out of me.
The thief waits patiently for her ass beating.
Carmen runs to check out the fight, in her underwear. Decisions like these are part of her charm.
Carmen cries over a robbery in which
nothing was stolen.
What's this? It's the big day already?
Say hello to Evelyn Torrez, the first born-in-game daughter of Carmen Torrez. If you guessed that Tyrell Jordan was the father, you are
wrong. The proud daddy is Joshua Hartnell. I'm sure he's thrilled. I know I am. D: Actually don't really mind, I just didn't plan on tying the two family lines together. I didn't even expect Joshua to
have a family line, initially.
Anyway, that's enough for now. Stay tuned for Carmen's continued adventures in parenting.
