Last time on House of Nubbe:

Emily Slew: Villainess Extraordinaire struck in the night!

The children feel similarly to me about the stolen baby crib.

Stuorra finds some comfort in his cuddly dolly

Good thing little Gáranas slept through the whole thing.

Everyone could use a bit of comforting.

Arvi and Imole try to set an example

Bierdna is still just pissed off, but baby Ráhkis appreaciates the cuddles, and Arvi heads back to bed

and Imole joins soon after

The following morning is a chilly one. The children had to have their sacks on.

Breakfast is eggy

Later, Arvi's big sis Doaivu pops by.

Incidentally, Imole has magical ambitions, so I tried to make her and the sister-in-law besties, but didn't get very far.

last part yet to come!

[cruciferous-spatula]

Last Vuosttamus segment. Eallin pops by to visit her auntie

You ever just like, play punch-you-punch-me with your elderly aunt? Also hi Piggy the cat

Turns out Eallin isn't actually feeling too great, but Doaivu's been practicing her magic and has a trick up her sleeve

She's cured! Good job Doaivu. Actually since there's a plague going on, I figured more people could do with a bit of magical curing, so I sent her to the Forum to find more sufferers

The forum is kinda chaotic

But eventually one plague afflicted sim shows up to get cured. And I guess Doaivu's unofficially the island's travelling doctor now

Well it was less eventful than I'd hoped, but still

Upon coming back home, another patient walks by

and Johka comes home with excellent grades, good job! Ausarta want another dog and had been befriending this lil guy called Menice, but we didn't manage to adopt him this round

... I just missed it. I have no idea what happened, but best buds since forever Aworan and Idja are beefing over something. Aworan still finds him super hot, and Idja is relatively chill about the whole thing, but Aworan is furious

Johka broke the bucket toilet, and Aworan immediately went and used it, making everything worse of course. Aw, Johk, you were doing so well.

Good thing he's handy. Don't ask me how this fixes a bucket, it's sims.

His gf is charmed. As is his mom (ok actually it's because queer queen Para was also in the room and Sarta find her super hot. but it's funnier if we pretend not to know that)

Aw.. It's actually kinda sad because class stuff means I'll have to break these two up at some point

Idja apologizes to Aworan for whatever happened earlier. I hope they can get past it. and Miretsi's also here now

And we end on Ulli and Johka enjoying a berry breakfast

[cruciferous-spatula]

Hi folks! Took a tiny breakbut I'm back with more time test challenge thingy. It's time to check on the Vuosttami now... here's their new house

The kids are in school now, and their mothers are determined to see them do well

But making friends is also important

As the only senior witch around, Doaivu feels duty-bound to pass on her gift to the younger generation, and she has a special place in her heart for disadvantaged kids like orphan slave girl Miharo.

In less exciting news, Kia leaves us that next morning :(

more soon

[cruciferous-spatula]

Late night nonsense with the Nubbes. Spot is still out a-haunting

Go away Inti >:(

So stacked beds can cause some issues with the kids waking up at the same time, unless the beds are facing opposite directions. Smooth as butter.

Miretsi's a mean girl.

Bierdna to the rescue! The 'torment' interaction from AL is seriously underrated, the animations are just great

Ok let's try to talk this out. Miretsi, are you upset with Eallin because your mom lives with her now?

Meanwhile Rieban makes a friend in this cool older girl Aroha. Also hi Orotika

Gaem. Pls :(

Miretsi! Poor Eallin :(

and that's where we leave these guys for now

And that's the end of round 13! the round in which the oldest gen 2 child reached adulthood. Which means the next round is the beginning of the Roman stage, which requires a bit of setting up as we're changing the whole structure of society, and a lot of sims will be moving into new homes that'll have to be built, along with the new community lots, so buckle up for a lot of wip-posts in the next few days

[cruciferous-spatula]

Aw :)

and that's all you're getting of the Vuosttamus family members who isn't Johka in this post. You've been warned!

Yeah, this guy. Yesterday we saw him getting to know this girl, Wahi Tuatahi, who is double-boltedly attracted to him, and the feeling is mutual

Unfortunately Johk's a little green to this flirting thing

then again, a good backrub can make up for that. At least in the sims world.

Cutie patooties

I have this thing for libra-aquarius pairings irl, so I'm just making a note that these two are indeed meant to be

it's date time

Ah, the perfect date, giggling and goofing around by the piles of hay

Yeah no we sent them to the bath lot, not to be confused with the beach. Was thinking it'd be cool to max the date meter and then just chill and talk in the hot spring till the time ran out

I don't think Johk is into Wahi for her family fortune, but don't ya know a girl being rich is just like a boy being pretty? Now sure you don't marry a boy just 'cause he's pretty, but doesn't it help?

tfw you're out on a walk and pass your cousin smooching your other cousin so you pretend you were really fascinated by the clouds and didn't see

oh, height mod :/

and just as we maxxed the date meter, the rain comes along and cuts it short. Wahi's not even staying for a quick kiss goodbye, as awesome a time as she says she had

oh well

and that's all from here for now :)

[cruciferous-spatula]

It's plague time at the pond dwelling

but it's also strawberry season! Johka doesn't love having to work more to make up for Idja and Ulli being stuck in bed, but their reduced appetites also mean more strawberries for him!

And it's a very good thing, because Johka's a growing boy

He grew up with a tan, and it seems to have mapped weird on his new frame :) that'll fade but hey, maybe he has late onset vitiligo, who's to say

His new haircut shows off his elf ears because YAAASS

and also

hurray!

The next day, at the beach

Oh no, Johka has an eye for the girl his brother has an ever fonder eye for! But so far she seems less than impressed

Ditto with Didan for Inti. Might be that his wife was on the lot at the time, he's agreed to stupider things before, but yeah, what were you thinking Inti? And just when things are almost working out with your ex as well. Good thing Entzu wasn't here to see this foolishness

Inti's daughter Poza makes a friend in Ulli over sandcastling

Elsewhere, both Doaivu and Ausarta get fit by splashing around in various bodies of water

How does that work with the hot spring? Can I get in peak shape just sitting in the bath for a while?

On the way home, Johka meets another girl who is also super cute

And now she knows how ticklish he is, oh nooo

sorry to say we gotta leave them there for now. moar soon!

[cruciferous-spatula]

This evening at the pond dwelling, the plague is at the door

Or you could say it's Wahi, route failing on the porch and coughing the house full of plague as revenge. Idja is also suffering, but he's already been out of it for a while by now

The children are early risers. Idja's feeling a lot better this morning, though he still looks tired

Ausarta takes the children out for a hike, and returns to see her little doggy entering elderhood

Is Sarta commenting on her wife's looks or what

Meanwhile half the Tuarua family is just hanging out up on the path

Doaivu feels like playing fairy godmother today and magics up a whole lotta fitness points for Aroha, fulfilling a wish

And that evening, Idja is birthdaying

Huzzah! Didn't get makeover pics of him because I'm the worst, BUT check him out on his next day trip to the beach

Dang it!

But hey, check him out checking out Sanma Keji. Instant triple bolts! Well in my book that's a ship now

Their convo animations are funny. They're clearly getting on really well!

Meanwhile

Dang it! Sorry Ulli

there are so many more pics of this day at the beach but they'll have to wait

till morrow!

[cruciferous-spatula]

Leheniks now, where everyone's coping after losing Eléwa since last time. Iluna and Egun are keeping themselves busy with the garden and the cats

while Indartsu spends most of his time looking after Zaindu the baby

Young Aitor is connecting with fellow romance sim Moemoea Tuatahi, and has a want for a date to fulfill, so heck yeah let's do this

These households are getting so big and stressful to manage I'll take any excuse to take a teen or older on a community lot excursion.

It's also great for people watching

As the rain intensifies, Aitor's gallantry leaves a little to be desired

Yep, that's a boy giving his date a noogie.

Moea's mom, aunt AND uncle are right there Aitor, what's with you?

I definitely don't blame her for just ending the date there.

She comes back almost immediately to hang out with the other teens. I just hope Aitor realizes he blew it.

The less than ideal weather follows him home, making his outdoor chores a, uh, chore

The evening brings some respite from rain, and some random guests. Dido the cat isn't getting along with either of the other cats living here, but her mom DD is the most fun playmate

and that's all for today

[cruciferous-spatula]

Imole, who hurt you?

Also hello everyone and welcome back to the Vuosttamus household, where newlyweds Arvi and Imole are about to move out and start a family of their own, when

oh no Ausarta, who's hurting you?

Tapu there only stayed to watch for a minute and disappeared when the actual baby appeared, what a weirdo

But yeah welcome Ulli!

The bloody newspaper delivery person just hung around for EVER, trying to get into every shot, succeeding here. You're not supposed to exist yet lady, I just needed the bloody paper to move bloody Arvi out

speaking of

Very not on theme taxi as well, I know. At least Arvi, Imole and Spot are out of here now, making this household somewhat more manageable.

Idja and Johka play nice together and are fairly self reliant, for toddlers at least

Their moms are very preoccupied with baby Ulli, but there's also just so much to in general, with the garden, the sheep and the dog

Momma Doaivu sometimes just stays in her sleeping clothes all day.

Their dog Kia makes an affectionate and responsible babysitter.

But you also gotta grow up fast in these bygone times

and Idja is no exception

Good thing too, because Sarta and Doaivu are going to need all the help that they can from capable hands now that the sheep are multiplying

And that's all from here for now

[cruciferous-spatula]

Morning at the rock dwelling.

Para drops by to make out with Luma. Dido the cat does not know where to look.

But Balin the cat certainly knows where to look.

That afternoon brings birthday

Aitor grows up to a little miniature Indartsu.

But! There is more birthday to be had

Out of all the 1st gen Lehenik children, Luma grew up looking the most like their mother Maitea.

Aitor soon learns the ropes as heir to the Lehenik family farm. It looks like he's just shaking his fist at the crops right? He'll show those weeds! Grrr!

Fortunately, with plenty of hands helping out, he also has time to play.

Not much later, this happened:

wha-

Again??

Egun and Iluna join the family and world. Random neighbors flock in to see what all the fuzz is about, and Aitor is worn out by all the excitement.

And that's where we leave the Leheniks for now.

[cruciferous-spatula]

The sheep the Vuosttami acquired a round or two ago are growing up, even having lambs of their own now, much like their owners. Which means sheep milk exists now and Sarta is getting it.

Once again, one of the mrs. Vuosttamus goes into labour while the neighbors are visiting for lunch. And it's another magic boy! Welcome Johka

Later, their dog Kia has a surprise for the family

These are the spawn of Otis and Kia, and once again I didn't feel like being creative when naming them

Oh, to have Science as your OTH in a world where you get beamed up by the martians for examining your wife's mystical tree.

This is the second time this has happened to poor old Ausarta. Pity she's not a knowledge sim or she might've actually enjoyed it

I wonder what made the aliens so extra interested in Sarta all of a sudden. Twice in two rounds is a lot, no?

And that's all from the pond dwelling for now :)

[cruciferous-spatula]

Welcome back, friend, to the Leheniks at the rock dwelling. Two-parter this time. Things have got shaken up since last round; Indartsu's wife has left him for the next door casanova, making him a single dad. Thankfully goodest boy Klutz and grandma Maitea's around to help out.

And auntie Lorea is also here.

Maitea inherited some dough from her buddy Marama who passed away last round.

I think she's telling Indartsu she wants to spend the money on a snazzy new outfit.

But, alas...

Visiting daughter-in-law Doaivu will not stop heart-farting over her MIL's hawtness even as she's literally dying in front of her. Time and place, love.

And yeah, there goes our longest-living Gen 0 sim. Rest in peace.

The 6th, unspecified benefactee is Maitea's grandson, Aitor. No surprises there. Also get wrecked Ausarta LMAOOO

Oh right, sorry. I'll be respectful. It's very sad.

Anyway, the next morning, as Lorea tends the garden

she is joined by prettiest family cat Balin

who thinks he's making a new friend ...

Oh noooo

Dangit, and it's her birthday and these are her other wants. I can't get you a bloody pianee Lorea I'm sorry

Little does she know her brother and his ex-wife are getting along again... like she's married to someone else now but whatever

Yeah, and it's not even to this guy. Why are my sims like this? You're a family sim, Tanna, come on

Oh hey and Lorea aged up! Only slightly terribly this time, I guess she saw a wolf when I wasn't looking.

Now get dating young lady! All these amiable bachelors won't marry themselves!

Fortunately Puawai is a rather willing dancer

O_O well that escalated quick

[cruciferous-spatula]

Aaaaand welcome back! Can't believe we were on round 10? How? Time sure does fly don't it.

We're jumping back in at the clay hut, where Didan Keta of the Akoko brood lives. Tanna doesn't live here anymore, but often drops by to visit her brother.

Actually a whole lotta people tend to visit. And thank cripes honestly, it really drags playing just a single guy sim for a whole round. And all because there aren't any women around for him to date, everyone is either too young or married.

There's also hawt widow Maitea of course, but there's not much of an attraction there. So we wait :/

And Tucker the dog is around, keeping the rat population down, gooboi

I ended up giving Tanna the other dog, Spiddy, because she and Tucker wouldn't stop trying to kill each other.

later that night:

dun dun duuuun

sure man, go for it

I had him wish for wealth, a long life, and peace of mind. Now he'll be able to comfortably provide for a wife and start a family the next round.

And uh, that's it

[cruciferous-spatula]

welcome back! we left off with Johka baking in the tropical sun and now he's got this sick tan

And Pouri epically pranks her cousin with static electricity... from somewhere

Aw :) You probly wanna stop doing that Sarta, you two are elders now with sensitive bones

Johka is befriending his cousin Egun

But I know what you're really here for! How's that shipping going I'm sure you're wondering?

well unfortunately, Idja has caught the flu again, and also his family's being hella embarrassing

omg mom not now! Oh and other mom is peeing like three feet away, awesome

Uncle Entzu since when do you just randomly wanna kiss your nephew hello, are you actually trying to ruin this

Yeah yeah ok fine fine now go away Entzu please

And first kiss happens! And I've definitely exposed poor Sanma to the plague. Sorry! I'm sure she'll be fine, she's young and strong

Idja also fulfills a wish with his first slow dance

They dance until the sun sets, when Idja decides to try for a smooch, but Sanma clearly thinks that's outta line

Oh well. At least she's not wanting to quit the dance altogether

Okey dokey. I think we'll call that a day.

moar soon

[cruciferous-spatula]

Vuosttamus household now, where Ausarta notices she's lost her sixpack, oh noo

Meanwhile Doaivu is trying to pass on her skills to their children, but Idja needs to be excused from class as he's coughing exaggeratedly

I do not kid. Dude's making a dome out of his spine with that cough.

Apparently Johka was ill as well, but he had a way easier time of it. I don't remember him even coughing once

So he gets to go to the beach with Ewa! Lucky guy

So many friends to be made! yeah Ulli came along as well. Relationship development is happening with Inti and Entzu in the background whether I want it to or not

... moving on.

ah, nothing beats a soak in a hot spring on a spring day

Back home, Doaivu cooked up some magic sugar. I've had the Apartment Life EP pretty much since it came out and only realized now that sims can drink that stuff. Guess that shows how much I play supernaturals normally

Anyway, having no idea what it does, let's give it to this bedbound child to drink why not?

I mean for all I know it might straight up cure him

oh no guys I think I gave E to a little boy

ok chief?

still not wanting to check, at this point I'm guessing this potion maxes out a sim's niceness points for a time? Problem is Idja was born with maximum niceness so there's no way to tell

Moea and Waiata drop by for a glass of sheep milk and it starts to rain, riveting

And Idja is back to normal, by which I mean no observable difference at all

So yeah I checked the wiki and I was right that it maxes out niceness points and has nothing at all to do with curing disease, so this was 100% a waste of a potion. Oh well

moar soon

[cruciferous-spatula]

Rainy day at the Moon Islands beach, perfect for chilling in the hot spring

Or tanning, apparently? The sim sun takes no breaks huh

The weather clears up in time for Para's tan to make sense, and to make me miss the summer already

Doaivu and Ausarta, stop being so dang cute, it's not your part of the round yet

Meanwhile the younger Tuatahi kids enjoy the gorgeous weather at home

Para is nearing adulthood, and is thinking about marriage a bunch. Unfortunately as the oldest gen 2 sim, there really aren't a lot of eligible partners for her, none unless you count gen 1 peoples, so I'm not sure how soon that'll happen for her..

Wahi is practicing her cooking skill. Similarly inclined as her older sister, she wants to be sure she's well equipped to care for a big family.

And emphatically not a family sim Moemoea got way too much sun

Uh-oh, seems we have another round of plague going around.

Aunt Orotika visits. She and Para are close.

I just hope Tika didn't pick up any disease while here to bring home to her own kids. I did try to keep Wahi and Awatea away and in the bath or bed as much as possible

moar soon
