Last chapter Laura became Heiress. At first the idea horrified her but I think she is slowly coming around. Brian and Ben both moved out of the house, Brian with a new wife and a baby on the way and Ben with plenty of plans to continue terrorizing everyone he meets. Brandi finally admitted her feelings to River and they became a couple.
Sometimes in the sims it feels like things go really slowly and nothing is happening. At other times things go by so quickly and loads of things happen in a short space of time. This chapter felt like it was one of the latter.
A couple of days after Brian and Antoinette’s wedding, where Brandi and River finally became a couple, Brandi decided River was the sim she was destined to be with so on an outing to the park she got down on one knee and proposed.
Rivers: “Uh… isn’t it meant to be me down on one knee?”
Rivers: “Oh but look how shiny the ring is! Gosh now what? Do I jump into your arms now or…?”
Brandi: “How about we just make out for a bit then go for a burger?”
Laura tagged along on the outing wanting to support her sister and best friend Brandi. The relationship bar between the two can’t get any higher.
Whilst enjoying some burgers Laura and Brandi met Boy in the blue cap. They also met Boy in the crop top but Laura was less impressed by him.
Crop Top: “Hey sweetcheeks, fancy a smooch?”
Laura: “Sorry I don’t date men with tops shorter than my own.”
Boy in the blue cap however did impress Laura and it wasn’t long before hearts were floating around my screen.
In fact boy in the blue cap was even Laura’s very first kiss.
When Laura and Brandi returned home from the park that night Titus received the pop up to let him know he only had a few days left… it was time to speed things up. There were things I wanted him to do and see before he passed away.
So the very next day a wedding party was hosted. Titus and Tierra are such a sweet couple.
The guests all arrived ready for a day of partying. There was one guest that caught my eye however… Antoinette is looking pretty uncomfortable here. Could she be in labour?
I spy a pre-parental panic dance, Antoinette is definitely in labour! Well this is going to be a fun filled wedding. Antoinette be a dear and keep the thing in your belly until after the party please.
Brian: “Sweet’ums… do you really think you should be drinking that with a baby on the way?”
Antoinette:”Are you the one about to squeeze a melon out of a pringles tube? No I didn’t think so. So I am going to have this drink to make this whole thing more bearable and you are going to stop judging me. Okay?”
Brian: “Yes dear.”
The guests all made their way through the middle of the archway to watch the ceremony. Hey look Laura, Boy in the blue cap who is now in a yellow jacket to match your dress is here!
“Oh no.”
What? What is that face for? You were all over him last night!
“Yeah… but I have decided I don’t fancy him anymore. Last night we were just goofing around. Why are we wearing matching outfits when we have only kissed once? This is too much too soon. I need to scope out the market. Party. Have fun. All of that without someone glued to my side in a matching yellow blazer.”
Brandi: “Honey, Antoinette looks really uncomfortable. Maybe we should stall and do this another time.”
Rivers: “Babe this is my -I mean our- day You look beautiful, I look beautiful and your family have gone to a lot of effort to make this day special for us. I know how important it is to you for your father to be here today. I love you and I want to be married to you. Today. I just can’t wait.”
Brandi: “You’re right. You are so right. I love you too, let’s do this. Let’s get married!”
Rivers: “That’s more like it! Besides Antoinette isn’t doing that badly… you won’t even notice she is in labour.”
Brandi: “I do.”
Antoinette: “OHhhHHHhHHhh the agony. OhhhHHHhHHH the pain! Get this thing out of meeeeee!!”
Rivers: “Can I kiss the bride now?”
Don’t worry guys I can use different angles to hide the screaming pregnant lady.
D’aww what a beautiful wedding ceremony.
Antoinette: “ARGHH I Think this thing is bigger than a melon!”
Despite the slight bump Brandi and Rivers had a fantastic wedding day. The party was a big success and everyone had a fabulous time. Well Antoinette maybe didn’t have a fabulous time but she will have a fabulous baby at the end of it.
Laura Doodle may not be feeling the love for boy in the blue cap anymore but she has taken a shine to Gregory here.
They end the evening watching the stars together. Laura isn’t even bothered by the slight matching of outfits with Gregory. Unfortunately Gregory is already a young adult so this match will have to wait.
Brandi and River share their first slice of wedding cake together before jetting off on a pretend honeymoon and moving into a large luxury home together. Aren’t they just adorable?
The night after brought with it another party but this time it’s a birthday. The guests arrived dressed smartly for a quieter, cosy dinner party.
Laura: “Dad! Brian! Why the heck are you in fancy dress? This is meant to be a sophisticated dinner party.”
Brian: “What? The invite said fancy dress.”
“No it did not you baboon. Could one of you please get changed and help me prepare dinner. The fridge is broken and spouting black fog, the floor is covered in puddles and piles of rubbish AND I have a 3 course meal plus birthday cake to prepare.”
“Dad I’m sorry If I was grumpy…I know everyone expects me to be the fun, goofball one but I just want this party to be perfect for mum.”
“Sweetheart your mum will love it however it turns out. Last year someone didn’t even get her a cake or throw a party. Last year a certain someone completely forgot your mother’s birthday altogether.”
Alright, alright! I get it I’m a bad simplayer. You know you could have got the cake last year Titus!
The guests squeeze into the small dining room and enjoy a delicious meal. Brian still isn’t convinced about the whole fancy dress thing.
Brian to himself: “They must all think I look silly being the only one dressed up but I know for a fact this outfit makes my muscles look even bigger and more impressive. Now who is laughing.”
Laura: “HAPPYYYYY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYY DEAR MOTHERRRRRRRRRR. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.”
Everyone rushed to the cake for a slice before heading home after a lovely evening.
Titus and Tierra make the most of the remaining time they have left together. I’m really glad they got to be a cute, old couple together even if it was for such a short space of time.
It was time for Titus and Tierra to meet their new grandchild so the doodle clan all met up at Brian and Antoinette’s home.
Ben: “Hey it’s my home too! Aunt Regina lives here too y’know.”
It’s a baby girl! Meet Aisha Doodle. Titus is smitten. I’m so glad he got to meet his grandchild before passing away.
Tierra gets the biggest smile when she meets Aisha for the first time.
Brandi also has some special news. When did her bump get so big?!
People start to gather around the table for a meal kindly prepared by Aunt Regina but one person is missing…
Ben is the first to find his father on the living room floor. Is it just me or is death in the sims 4 more emotional than the sims 2? The hula girls really helped to ease the pain of death in the sims 2.
Soon the whole gang is gathered around. The next few days are not going to be pretty.
RIP Titus. You were a great heir. You had a loving and successful marriage. You produced fabulous offspring together, a beautiful garden and completed a few of your lifegoals.
and so Tierra, Laura and probably the rest of the doodles present at Titus’ death cried it out in bed over the next few days. It was pretty miserable.
Let’s hope the next chapter cheers up a little – thanks for reading! 🙂
