It’s been a long while. And for that, I am sorry. The Beatles were unsatisfying (*gasp*) to me for some reason and I wasn’t sure why. But I revisited them for old times sake, and thanks to some snazzy new legacies I’ve been hooked on lately (I’m looking at you Chimerees, Creepers, and Draculas) I discovered the problem.
This chapter is specifically dedicated to WantsARevolution on BoolProp who said some kind words that made me smile.
Thanks!
Soundtrack is here! You know the drill to get it going right? No? Go back and look at an old chapter. There are directions there.
And now, on with the show!!

Well hello again, George. You’re looking quite spiffy now that your hair and content is all back again.
George: Why thank you, luv.
Are you excited for some more Beatles goodness fiiiiiiiiiiinally?

George:…..
What’s wrong, George?

George: You left us for over FOUR MONTHS!
Well, you know you have to wait for the right time….
Now the darkness only stays at nighttime/ in the morning it will fade away/ Daylight is good at arriving at the right time/ It's not always going to be this grey
George:I wasn’t sure the Beatles were EVER going to get back together!!!
Well, technically you guys broke….
George: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

George: I don’t want to ‘ear it! *pouty face*
How about brief recap then?
Goerge: OH alright.
When last we left the Beatles…….. not a lot was happening really. Sadie had the twins Daniel and Julia. There were lots of glitches…. yea. Let’s just move along then, shall we?

Sadie has been diligently working at training the toddlers.
Sadie: Can you say palette, Daniel?
Daniel: Palettedaniel?
Close enough.

Octavio has been diligently working on his first novel, “Quaff you Coif”. It sounds dirtier than it is, really.
‘Tavi: It ees about zee hairs!
So then why are you wearing that beanie from work so often these days?
‘Tavi: Zee embarassment from zee last chapter wis zee gleetches.
Oh ‘Tavi, we love you just the same, hair plugs or not.
‘Tavi: IT WAS ZEE GLEETCHES! I HAS NOT PLUGGED HAIR!

Sadie: Teaching toddlers is SO boring!
I hear you, Sadie.
And I probably heard her a little too well, because it was then that I did a bad thing. Now, don’t get all huffy on me. This was a while back when I had decided that this legacy was verging on dead and I just wanted to move things along. So I….. so I…..

I caked the twins. Like 5 days early. I KNOW!!!!!!!!! I’m sorry!!!!!!!!! I did this like 3 months ago! I can’t take it back now!

I tried making Daniel a little more quirky. Didn’t do much.
Daniel: I resent that!!! Now where’s my pocket protector….?

Julia: I’m booooooooored.
So was I. The Beatles, must I say it, had gotten boring. They needed something new, something fresh!

Apparently, all those months ago I decided that thing was a teenager. So I caked Maxwell early too.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, another Jude/Sheldon clone. *yawn*

I tried giving him a makeover. Still yawn.

I got him a girlfriend in Linda Lobos. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
WHAT DOES THIS LEGACY NEED TO SPICE THINGS UP??!??!
It was then that I got flustered and completely ignored all simming for several months.
Max: I really don’t think I’m all THAT bad!
It’s not you it’s…. well, no it’s you. You and your whole family.

Daniel: What’s your problem, Max?? MOVE! I can’t seem to get out the door when you’re not standing in front of it.! Wait… that didn’t make sense…
Max: My problem is YOUR FACE!!!! Hahahaha. Burn.
Wait a minute! Max! You’re a genius!!!
Max: No I’m not… I’m a good, athletic virtuoso with a good sense of humor.

I realized, dear simmers, that the problem was THIS!
‘Tavi: Zee, how you say, numero deux is zee natural theeng. I cannot stop it.
No…. not your sh-….. erm… yea, not number two. Your face!
‘Tavi: What is WRONG with zees FACE??
My ‘hood has FACEONEDISEASE!!!!!1!!!11 OH NOES!!!! (also know as pudding face or vanilla pudding face.)

Sadie: waaaaaaaait, wait wait. You don’t like our FACES?
No. They’re boring. Everyone looks the same.
Jude: *thinks* You liked my mother Eleanor’s face.
Yea, well, she was the founder. But I probably made her a little too vanilla too. I was young, I was naïve…
BUT, I now have a plan.
Sadie: A plan?
Yep.
Sadie: I don’t like the way you’re looking at me.
Teeheehee.

I installed myself awesomemod specifically for the NoVanillaPudding part. So, if Sadie shacks up one more time with someone THEN we should get some more interesting genetics thrown in this mix here! Repairman! Today is your lucky day.

Repairman: Uh, how about NO?! I’m not into all this crazy affairs with the help kind of stuff you see on TV. Those plotlines are best left to people like James Franco*.
*He was apparently on General Hospital recently. Again. Which I find odd.

Anywho, it doesn’t really matter because repairman here is a Face1.

So I sent Sadie off to the park to scope for some more “unique” looking dudes.
Sadie: I don’t want to do this. I love ‘Tavi!
It’s true. She has two wants locked for him right now. But this is for the good of the WHOLE FAMILY TREE!!!!!!!

Sadie submitted rather doubtfully and so I set about searching the park for potentials. The only two people out were these boys who were discussing…. things… you can do with pie.
Just don’t let your father catch you, capiche?*
*American Pie anyone?? Am I too old?

Thad Richard. Face 1 disease victim. NEXT!

Mitchell Lobos. Also suffering from (an albeit less severe than Thad’s) face 1 disease.

Shravan Mather. Michelle’s childhood stalker. Not Face1, but also not vastly original looking either.

Angry man who appears to be beating up someone’s Grandma. Too violent. Also very Face1. NEXT!

Face1! NEXT!

Ahh! A tourist! He surely can’t be Face 1!

Frim frabbitty fracking frimming FRABBIT! FLUFFING EAXIS! WHAT THE FLUFF IS UP WITH ALL THE PUDDING FACES??!?

Despite your potential hidden pizza lover trait, no.

No!

Chubby Face1. NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. New plan.
Um…………… while I think of a new plan. Let’s take a look at some of the Beatle spares who I saw running around the park while Sadie was out homewrecker hunting.

JoJo’s wife Danna was preggers and jogging down the block in heels.
Danna: It keeps my calves and thighs toned.
And explains why your children have head trauma….?

Although I suspect she was really playing a game of tag with her very face1 son, Kelvin.
Kelvin: Mommy’s cheating!
She’s pregnant and in heels. How is THAT cheating?
Kelvin: Well she’s just so much BIGGER than me! I mean, look at her tummy!
Oh dear Kelvin. I sincerely hope you are never ever around a pregnant woman other than your mother. Because you will surely die a premature death for those words.

Michelle also dropped by to make us all jealous of her smokin’ bod.
Michelle: Heck YEA! My family is HAWT!

AND of her awkwardly dressed but finally not Face1 daughter, Jennie Pearl. Although she looks a little generic in this shot, trust me, she is a little more unique looking. She got the Pearl family nose and lips. THANK PLUMBOB!

Henry’s daughter CoCo, while very supportive of her Team Rainbow family lifestyle, is also a boring Face1. It’s probably because she was adopted.
Coco: I was ADOPTED??!?!
You have two gay dads….
Coco: *Blank stare*
Kids these days. Not enough logic points in the world to save ‘em, I tell ya!

After briefly visiting with all the relatives, I finally alighted on a plan for my problem. I thus sent Sadie speeding home in the police cruiser Sheldon got for us all those years ago.
Isn’t that illegal to drive a marked policecar when you’re not a policewoman, Sadie?
*engine revs and car screeches off*
Sadie: Can’t heeeeeeeeear yooooooooooou!

Max: *thinks* It’s Mom’s birthday??? Oh crap!! Act like you remembered and smile big!!
Now. I know what you’re thinking, simmers. But I actually didn’t cake her TOO early. I caked her 2 days before her autoage up. Which is when you get the notice that her birthday is coming up. Which I always use at the point at which I am legally allowed to cake. So in my world, this is okay.

Sadie grows up into Prudence’s hair and a whoosh of sparklies. But otherwise is exactly the same.
I needed her to be an adult you see. Why is that, you ask?

Because we’re going to China to look for baby daddies!!!! (And since she was 2 days from aging up, there would have been issues when I did manage to get her preggers…… I think….)
I was alone, I took a ride/
I didn’t know what I would find there/
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Mostly just another face. But we will accept other mindsets too. Unless of course they’re not interested in gratuitous woohoo and not being present for the birth and life of their child…..

Sadie: Sexy married simerican female seeking attractive but unique looking male to make babies with me to continue family line. I wonder how many people will respond to my ad???
With the way you phrased it, I suspect lots. Perhaps consider the words “sperm donor”?

Ai Pei was the first one to respond to our ad.
Ai: My back isn’t what it used to be, but as long as there are no acrobatics I think I can handle you missy!
Ummmmmmm… no.

With the ad not really working for her, I sent Sadie to check out the merchants. Little did I know how much trouble they would be!
This guy was moderately different, but not really interesting ENOUGH facewise.

Houston, we have a winner!!!!
Liu Pei: You’re mixing expressions…
Can it, buster. You’re just a bag of genetics and water to me. We’ve got to get his genes into this legacy, though. Look at the flatness of his nose!

Sadie: Don’t mind her, she’s just a little flustered with the monotony in my family.
Liu: You’ve got to all a little sugar to these things, you know! You can’t just be all blunt about it!!!

Sadie: You. Me. Woohoo. Babies.
Liu: Booooooooobies.
And you say *I* am blunt?!

Now I know this looks bad. How could Sadie be cheating on ‘Tavi? Her one and only true love? Well, I would like to point out that I forced her to do all of this. And literally the ENTIRE TIME (I kid you not) she was in China she had the want “return home” hanging around in her wants panel. Am I sadistic?? Yea, a little. Do I feel guilty?? I’ll tell you after I see the babies.

Sadie: Woohoo NAO?
Liu: Whoa, whoa! Baby you got to buy me some flowers first. Oh, and wait until I get off work.
Which is NEVER!!!!!!!!! Little did I realize that the foreign cashiers (who technically fit my NPC handicap) literally NEVER EVER STOP WORKING. She could never get to him anywhere but at his store. Now I’ve heard of slave driving in foreign labor, but this is RIDICULOUS!

So I sent her home again.
Sadie: My mother sense tells me something is different in my home…. But I can’t put my finger on it.
Daniel: *thinks* My mother is weird.

Hey Ju— wait…. you’re not Jude. Jude is an elder………. which means…….. YOU’RE MAX! And why are you on the bed with your girlfriend?
Max: Do you really need that spelled out for you?
Maybe…
Max: H-O-R-M-O….
OH!

InTeen strikes my legacy! Why? Because I was bored. I’ve actually since uninstalled it. But that was about 3-4 sim days after I listened to a pretty little lullabye.
Max: LULLA-WHAT?!

Meanwhile, I determined how to circumvent Liu’s evil work schedule. So when he finally came up for a much overdue vacation, Sadie invited him over. Based on his expression, I suspect he may have a banana in his pocket.
Sadie: There are no bana….. ooooooooooooooh.

Since ‘Tavi is at work, Sadie gets right down to business.
Sadie: I just want to get this whole sordid thing over with so I can get back to my regular life!
Liu: Surprisingly enough, I am not upset with this….

Is anyone else creeped out that they used the same bed as Max and his girl? No? Annoyed that I used the same picture for both of those events? Yes? JEEPERS READER! Get your priorities in order!

Sadie: Well, now that we’ve had wild woohoo at least 12 times, I am satisfied. You can go now.
He’s only been here for like 12 hours…..
Sadie: I don’t care.
Liu: BEST. VACATION. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*headdesk*

So while we waited for OMG!BABIES! Sadie practiced her guitar.

Daniel was strange and wouldn’t stop talking about unicorns.
Daniel: Planet unicorn heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.

The family bonded over a meal entirely in their underwear. I AM NOT RUNNING A NUDIST COLONY PEOPLE. PUT SOME CLOTHES ON. I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO FORCE YOU TO DO THIS EVERY DAY.
Frabbing exhibitionist Annie. Ruining my sims with her hussy genetics.

At Octavio’s work, the kitchen staff mourn the loss of fellow scullion Carlotta Lobos. Who was Jude’s sister Lucy’s daughter Jasmine’s husband German’s aunt! Did you follow that? No? Neither did I.

Speaking of Lucy, story progression likes to keep me updated on her rather regularly. Nothing new here, really. [Note: Yes, they are still married.]

Meanwhile, Maxwell’s girlfriend comes over to tell him some news.
Linda: I’m pregnant.
Maxwell: Helloooooooooooo in there? My name’s Max! Who are you?

Linda: That would be your son. I just had an ultrasound!
Max: MY son? Are you sure it’s MY son?
Linda: *slaps*

‘Tavi: Mi bambio Maxus has a new bambino of his own. It is zee Donnell. Zee mother giveth zee name.
Sadie: Oh, by the way, I’m pregnant too!
Jude: Some days it feels like my life is more of a soap opera than this show.
Octavio suspects nothing. Why?

Because he and Sadie autonomously make out everywhere. I think they even autonomously woohooed once when InTeen allowed them to do so. It’s really rather cute.

Sadie: Pain?

Pain= babies! And getting her to have this baby was a huge pain in my a—–
Sadie: His name is Billy!
But I thought you might like to know/
That the singer’sgoning to sing a song/
And he wants you all to sing along/
So may I introduce to you/
The one only Billy Shears
Billy Shears Beatle: Brave, Light Sleeper who loves classical music, PB&J, and Spice Brown. (Don’t worry, I’ll give him virtuoso later.)
And yes, I know I used this song once before. But I didn’t use the name. So NYAH!

And then some boring stuff happened. Like the twins grew up.


Julia added unlucky and Daniel added athletic…. hmm… quirkier and quirkier. But decidedly not heir.

Story progression somehow knows what I’ve written about these two in my legacy. It’s uncanny.

Pru and Henry are having another nooboo.

Not to be left out, Henry and Jay decided to have one too.

Octavio spent time scrubbing his troubles away with ZEE BUBBLES!
/Male objectification…. for now.

Oh, Birthdays?? You were waiting for a birthday? Golly gee willikers I plumb almost forgot.

George: So this is the part where you end it with a cliffhanger about the baby’s face and all. And then forget about us for another looooooooooooong time?!
Nah. I think I’ll do something different.
George: Like what?
Open up your eyes now/
Tell me what you see



BWAHAHAHAHA! SUCCESS!!!! And on that nose note, I shall leave you, dear readers. Thanks for reading!
And, as always remember: All you need is love!
And the NoVanillaPudding feature on awesomemod is helpful too….
