Since winter arrived in my game, I figured I’d decorate the Shaliks’ new home to reflect the holidays!

This is the first house I decorated top to bottom, and I’m really liking it. It’s a bit cramped, though.

Nowhere near done yet (upstairs doesn’t even have walls yet), but the living room and kitchen/dining are livable.

I added a little doggy corner, since there wasn’t one yet (: on to the hallway, bedrooms and bathroom!

Haha, it’s like he’s swimming x3

um

is that the effect snow has on dogs…?

eeeeee! Generation 5 is on its way! 😀

I forgot I had this headband! It took a lot of adjusting with sliders to fit properly on Lily’s head what with her freakish height and all, but it works now!

Well this is… weird

That looks painful :’D

Did I mention it’s hard to pose these two? haha

This feels so much like a crisp winter morning, I love it (:

Hey look!

Dorian’s there too 😀 I love that the relations are just randomly running around.

Look! A little boat! 😀

The family decided to go to the winter festival for some skating and fast food.

That’s probably the least appealing plate of french fries I have ever seen.

I guess Dorian came along to get to know Avery (and to steal his fries).

Sol was there too! And he grew up!

What the…?

Did she just bodyslam a snowman?

oh you so tuff lilee

It’s very grey today…

Elizabeth decided to join the fun! She’s about a million years old, but she’s owning that ice skating rink.

“You wanna buy a bar?”

“…Seriously? Why?”

“Because our creator made us filthy rich and because we can?”

…What now?

y u always look so sad, Avery?

dafuq?

……dafuq?? I thought I turned you guys off, I’ve never seen any supernaturals in my game.

This night just keeps getting weirder.

“Oh, oops, sorry. I’ll just go home, then.”

Does it reflect on my own laziness that both my sims have the athletic trait but there isn’t a single workout machine to be found in their home?

Yes?

…well

They can always use the tv! There!

“So um… That got big fast.”

“Yeah, winter clothes tend to cover up giant growths.”

So… I love this animation (:

Dude in the second picture is Lily’s grandfather, Midas (and my computer’s grandfather, apparently), listening to Alessandra’s belly.

I was surprised to see pregnant women are able to play basketball!

Now I wish I hadn’t tried.

creepy af D:

Ohh! A visitor! Who does that grey noggin’ belong to?

Yay! It’s Mihran!

And Lily has something to tell him 😀

Mihran brought Alessandra, his mother-in-law and Lily’s grandmother.

They were happy with the news (:

Where Lily got her freakish height.

Indeed.

I don’t think Mihran likes Avery. :’D

…Samsara had kittens?

They already have three dogs, but…

…….eeeeeee kittens!

I couldn’t resist :’D

Hah! I just dug this out of my misc decor folder. I actually have one of these irl!

…uh oh

Avery, are you seriously flirting with Alessandra? Your wife’s grandmother? Right in front of her and her father?

In Alessandra’s defence, she looks damn good for her age.

Oblivious Avery.

Should she allow him to explain or should he prepare to sleep on the couch?

“Shall I cut his balls off? Your cutlery drawer’s over there, isn’t—”

“No, dad…”

Ooch, I’ve never seen her pull a face like this before. Avery’s gon’ get it :’D

Lily pulled Avery into the den to have a word privately.

Here it comes…

I’m just imagining elevator music while this goes on.

OH LIKE IT’S HER FAULT

“Maybe you should sleep on the couch tonight…”

“It’s fine, I’ll stay at a friend’s.”

NOT MAKING IT ANY BETTER, AVERY

“So he’s leaving, then…?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t this a bit much for a little flirting?”

“It’s not the first time.”

aw, Lily… you’re breaking my heart ):

I almost forgot about the new kitten with all this!

Meet Majora (:

I got kinda sad when I saw this ):

So Mihran JUST left when Lily’s tummy started to cramp up a little more than she’s used to.

That’s some gorram fear in her eyes right there.

But wait, there’s more!

Haha, I wasn’t expecting twins! But it makes sense. Lily’s grandmother had quadruplets, her mother had triplets, and now she has twins. Keeping up tradition. (:

Meet Midas and Elise!

Midas was named after Lily’s grandfather, and Elise after her mother (Elizabeth).

“Ew, what’s that green gunk you’re giving me? Why is it disobeying gravity? Are you sure it’s edible? waaargghhh”

So Lily’s clearly conflicted… On the one hand, babies! But on the other hand, she just went through a difficult break up, just got a new house that’s not even half furnished yet, and she wasn’t expecting two at once (I guess Sims don’t have OB/GYNs).

These two are totally in love btw (:

So Lily wants to quit her job ):

But also she wants to get remarried! So that’s good?

Making herself some comfort food. Nothing beats pancakes (: How ‘bout some nutella?

Nutella pancakes are the best pancakes, fyi.

Leaving her babies for the first time to invite her family for Snowflake day!

This town is so amazing.

Elizabeth! Sol! Rose! Mihran! Molly! Dorian! yayyyyy 😀

“So, how is everything? And the babies?”

“Life goes on. They’re getting big! You should come the day before Snowflake day, we’ll have dinner, just you, dad and me.”

You two are so pretty (:

You have no idea how many screenshots of Beth and Lily I have that are just their beautiful faces.

“So, how’s the love life? It’s been almost a year!”

“Mom…”

“Well you’re probably craving some—”

“Mom!”

“Seriously though, it’s been quiet. I’ve been so busy with work and the babies, I haven’t seen a full movie in four months. And I really want to see the Avengers!”

“Oh, darling. Leave them with us and go out! And do you really need that job? You got plenty of money from the divorce, loaded as Avery was. You can take a sabbatical year or two, can’t you?”

“I guess I could…”

I love this nailpolish accessory!

CREEPY. 8D

The babysitter is really pretty! Lily went home and Beth came along for a few hours.

I miss Beth so much! She was so much fun.

Can I just mention it’s been snowing non-stop for two weeks? They’re gonna be snowed in soon!

lol, Lily, it’s not a piece of art

Of course my game would crash right after aging up the twins!

Anyway, here they are, Midas and Elise!

Elise is super pale, I did not expect that from a Shalik! And where did that black hair come from? Everyone for the past three generations has had brown hair!

omg, I actually managed to gather everyone.

Alessandra, Midas and Avery weren’t invited for obvious reasons, but there’s plenty of people already! It’ll be fun! 😀

Present time!! 😀

Rose doing a little song and dance before opening her present. Wonder how much eggnog she’s had…

Elise is confused by all this excitement.

Mihran is the only one not to appreciate his gift!

Looks like Lily hit the eggnog early as well!

Hey! Didn’t you get a present already, Rose? Or are you peeking in someone else’s?

Lily got a coffee machine, btw (:

Wuh oh, Rose, move it! Great-granny’s coming through!

Hmm, what’s this little reunion all about…?

Guess you’ll see next time! 😀
