The sad lives of the Banshee brood

Banshee continued being an awful mother.  She kept laughing at her tired and dirty toddler.  I tried to get her to put Shayla in the cot but she wouldn’t.  She just stood and laughed.

Mo tried his best to entertain his little sister,

but usually she was too tired to care and just cried.

He was worried about her (while his mother laughed).

Note the new baby on the floor beside her.  He didn’t get much attention either.  Banshee’s idea of spending time with him included taking him outside to watch the clouds (in winter).

It was then Shayla’s birthday but that got ignored as well.

Banshee had also forgotten about the baby – still outside.

It was Mo’s birthday next.  He was used to being on his own.

At least now he could help look after the baby.

The next birthday to come was little Zeezee’s.

As soon as he became a toddler, Banshee put him down and helped herself to cake.  She’s the most selfish Sim mother ever.

And yet she wants another baby!  She’s not getting one.

Dreamers

Regis’ wife, Katerina, wasn’t a motherly type at all.  She didn’t really care about Davey.

He did get to play at times though.

But overall, he wasn’t very happy and he didn’t grow up well.

When his dad was home, Davey got more attention.

Sharing dad’s burnt cooking

Regis was promoted to High School teacher.

Vanni growing up

Vanni Pleasant, unlike his cousin Shayla, learned to walk and was potty trained.  He was a happy kid, despite the idiocy of his nanny.  At one point his nanny put him in the high chair then took him out about twenty times – in, out, in, out, in, out…  Luckily he wasn’t hungry, but his nanny needed to visit the toilet.  Instead of doing so, she peed on the floor before leaving.

Disgustingly, Vanni played in her urine…

Vanni grew up well.

He’s a good-looking kid.

Aunt Ophelia taught him how to play chess while discussing the state of the world.

Both Ramone and Ophelia Dreamer are heading for elderhood fairly soon.

The latest on Lothario

Carlos’ wife, Carol, had her baby – a girl she called Veena.  Unfortunately, Carlos found out it wasn’t his.

Carlos wanted a divorce.  He wanted Carol out of the house immediately.

Carol tried to plead with him.

Carlos told her to take her baby with her but to leave his son, Luciano, behind.

She moved out, coming back later to take the baby, then moved in with her cousin, Michaela.  The baby’s father was busy working his charms, as usual.

The next day Luciano grew to school age.

Goth update

Lucius returned home from uni.  He invited his fiancée, Hope, around and introduced her to his mother.

Lucius’ mother, Belinda, figured she should teach Hope how to cook if she were going to marry Lucius.

Lucius, meanwhile, went for a different look.

Lucius and his parents had some family time.

I don’t think Lucius has a job yet.

A pregnant Belinda visited.

It wasn’t long before Belinda gave birth:

I’m sorry.  It’s been so long since updated or played this particular family that I can’t remember what the baby’s name is.  I think it’s a girl…
