It's time for Part 6 of the Dalton Family Legacy and when we left off little Madelene had just turned into a toddler and Dany had finally joined the family.
Thunder got to work teaching Maddie how to use the potty.
And as usual only has one thing on his mind!
Dany has made himself at home and is a quiet dog, spending most of his time napping on his bed even though he's not an elder doggie.
Tabitha is finally starting to pay more attention to Maddie and takes over her bedtime routine. Poor Maddie hates baths though!
Straight after her bath neat freak Thunder goes in and cleans the bathtub as if his daughter has somehow contaminated it.
Then he jumps in and does the stupidest thing Maxis added to the game - pretending to be a pirate. I'm sorry but WHO IN THE HELL would do that in real life? Children - Yes, Adults - NO. I'm sure they can find better ways of entertaining themselves than playing in the bathtub! *end rant*
So I make Thunder go play with his dog. You wanted the damn dog so bad the least you can do is play with him!
One thing Thunder really hates doing is watching tv. He complains every time I make him do it. Sorry Thunder but tv = fun points go up fast.
I downloaded some new toys for toddlers and Madalene just adores the toddler TV. It's all she wants to play with. It's cute watching her bopping away.
But every now and then she takes a break to go hug the doggie. Aww.
Dany loves Maddie. He's always seeking her out to sniff her. Maddie squeals happily every time he does it. He really does bring joy to the whole family.
Even Tabitha loves spending time with him and that's saying something.
Now that Tab's spending more time with Maddie I can see a resemblance. I think Maddie got Tabitha's lips. Thank god she didn't get the nose!
And as usual my sims just don't stop thinking about woohoo. Everything they do reminds them of it. Here Tabitha is about to wash the dog and all she can think about is how she'd rather be having fun in bed.
She soon loses her trail of thought when Dany misbehaves and shakes water all over her. That'll learn ya Tab
Straight after washing the dog she finally goes into labour and Thunder rushes over.
Uh oh. Please let at least one of them be a boy!
First born is Jewell Dalton. She Thunder's skin tone, Thunder's father's blue eyes and Thunder's black hair.
Thunder looks a little unhappy at the prospect of looking after twins but Tabitha shoves Jewell in his arms since she's still got work to do. Tough luck Thunder.
Welcome Jo Dalton! And yes my random name generator did two J names in a row! It's fate! Jo has ? skin tone, Thunder's shade of green eyes and Thunder's black hair.
Both girls. Poor Thunder!
Giving birth is hard work and Tabitha's worked up a hunger but there's nothing left to eat except for leftovers. Thank god for those! Leftovers will have to do until there's enough money in the bank for more food.
Jewell is a quiet baby but Jo isn't. Hence whenever Jo has a poopy diaper and starts balling Jewell - who was sitting there stinking away quite happily - starts balling too. And crying babies wakes up a very unhappy Maddie!
Tabitha gives her some one on one time to teach her how to talk and Mummy is her first word! Tabitha's so proud!
And then of course Maddie goes back to her blasted toddler tv
Tabitha is definitely more hands on with the twins as babies than she was with Maddie. She seems to be taking a genuine interest in them.
Even when she's giving attention to one of the twins she's always checking to make sure the other is okay. It must be hard having a toddler to chase when you've got baby twins to care for. But she seems to be handling the chaos.
Dany now sleeps in the bedroom with Thunder and Tabitha due to the TV being constantly left on and poor Dany wasn't getting any sleep.
Finally he goes to sleep and has a nightmare about the time he tasted some of the smart milk.
Thunder adores the twins now he's had some time to adjust and now wants to have 10. I don't think you can afford 3 let alone 10 right now. At least Tabitha and Thunder both seem so busy they have finally stopped thinking about woohoo. Haven't thought about it once since the twins were born.
Aww and this photo was so cute I just had to throw it in.
After rounds of bottle feeding and nappy changing and bathing time Thunder is plumb tuckered out and heads to bed exhausted.
Looks like they're going to need some permanent help with Tabitha going back to work and so she gives Jo one last feed after calling a Nanny.
It's Yolande again. I like her. She seems like she genuinely cares about the babies. Here she is trying to decide which one to feed first.
While Yolande looks after the twins Thunder is busy teaching Maddie to walk.
OMG! My heart is broken
Thunder how could you yell at your baby daughter? Just because she's crying due to a wet nappy. Shame on you! Here I was thinking you were a great father!
*so pissed off right now*
Yolande catches Thunder's tirade and is very disappointed. You're not the only one Yolande!
Fair enough Thunder is tired and cranky. He goes to bed for a much needed sleep. Dany watches over him with concern. Aww.
Fester comes back for a visit but nobody cares
And then the evil wolf Balin shows up.
While the dogs are roaming around outside Tabitha finishes teaching Maddie to walk
With all those dogs outside there's suddenly a lot of puddles and I order Thunder to clean them. "Oh boy more dog pee to mop up! Yes!"
Thunder you have issues.
But at least with Thunder around nobody else needs to clean. Tabitha hates even putting a dish in the sink let alone changing a poopy diaper. Thunder gets all the dirty work and loves it.
Thunder and Tabitha set to work trying for a baby brother for the three girls.
But after many tries they aren't having any success at all. I think that's why they're thinking about woohoo so much. In fact they are suddenly thinking about it so much that it's driving me nuts. Here is a montage of the few times I caught them thinking about it:
Finally it's the twins birthday and Tabitha gets Jewell ready for their big day.
While Thunder gets Jo Yolande gets the party started.
Aww cute. Thunder looks over his twin daughters and Tabitha smiles at her husband before the babies change to toddlers.
And here is Jewell. I don't think she's as cute as Maddie but she's still okay.
Jo isn't much to look at either. Oh well we'll see how they look as kids.
Jewell is already my favourite of the two for some reason.
Will my sims ever get woohoo off their minds?
Will Tabitha get pregnant again or will they give up trying?
Will Maddie grow up into a cute little girl?
Find out soon!
