IRON VALUES
Trailer Park Challenge
Chapter XV

2. Welcome back to Iron Values, once again featuring starving,
smelly teenagers!
It’s been 16 RL months since I last played this household;
however, many of this chapter’s pictures had already been
taken. See if you can spot where my hiatus ended ;)

3. I didn’t even know that want existed!
“Seeing as how I’m already perma-plat, you’re not going to do
anything about it.”
You only have 6 biological grandchildren so far, so no.

4. Discovering even more things: toddlers can fall asleep sitting.
Everybody’s so busy trying to put Mei in the crib that they block
each other’s way -_-

5. Dragon suit outerwear! ^o^
“I wanted the dragon head too but Mom said no.”
Your mom is no fun.

6. Quite the snazzy outfit you have there, Soap Boy. Maybe I
should start calling you Danny instead.
“*silent treatment*”

7. Lee wasn’t as lucky during the hand-me-down-hand-out.
Don’t expect to get new clothes when you’re wasting the funds
on doggie treats!

8. “Go have yer existensial crisis somewhere else!”

9. “Look Dad, I got all all A’s on my report card!”
“…I never get to learn anything…”
“I still need to pee.”

10. Hydrargyrum seems to be the only one of the quads wise
enough to actually sleep at night.

11. That’s what you get for letting the kids run wild, I’spose.
It’s a little sad that none of them seem to be friends with one
another 

12. Hey Curium, what did ever happen to Dakota?
“What do you mea- wait, I hear Mei waking up from her nap.”

13. Lee is in the lead – he’s picked up the toddler and is now
proceeding towards the fridge –

14. – Lee wins the feeding round – Neo distracts the opponent – the
miserable Knowledge husband has been stored away at the
cooking channel – Neo gets the surprise diaper change points –

15. – and Sam goes in for the steal!

16. That concludes this round of “52 toddler pickup”! Stay tuned to
see whether Mei gets an allergic reaction from the soap.

17. Meanwhile, Tina comes around to remind me that she should
kind of be a teen by now.

18. More frustrated three-neat-point cleaning!

19. More soap-smustling!

20. More adorable elder interaction!

21. “Put down that book and dance, sonny!”
“Yeah Dad, don’t be such a bore!”

22. “I know you’re only letting me study logic so we can get the
astronomy money.”
Hey, can you blame me for milking the cash cow?

23. Sure enough: another star, another flamingo.

24. Now he can go back to his most important function 
“Why do you not like me?”
I do, you’re just… expendable.

25. Pneumonia? Pssh.

26. “Hellooo, isn’t anyone going to pay attention to me? I might fall
and break my neck! Or the TV!”
Did you do your homework yet?

27. “This is so boring. I wish I could spend all day cuddling dogs
instead, like Mei.”
Me too kiddo, me too.

28. Aw, that’s kind of cute.
“Sure your grip isn’t too slippery, Sam?”
“You’re so going down.”

29. “This isn’t cereal, this is bird food!”
“I guess we really are poor.”
“How could a sim possibly live off of this?”

30. “*gobble gobble splatter*”
“I think I see bug parts in here.”
“I think I’m gonna puke.”

31. Say it with me now:
Aaaaaw

32. Benny is an elder now :o
“I can’t remember when my last bath was.”
Senility and not neglectance, I’m sure <.<

33. “Wow, a sale on drumkits! Please Voice, please!”
Hey, don’t think that I’ll be favoring you over the other kids just
because you and Francie got to stay home from school today.
Even though you have dragon outerwear.

34. I found that the households funds had increased by 251
simoleons without me noticing the cause, so in order to not feel
cheaty I bought this 269 simoleon mat and stashed it in Mei’s
inventory. Now they’re back to living under a grand :’)

35. Aaw, poor baby.
Doesn’t that hurt your e-
“STOP MOCKING ME AND FIX IT *sob*”

36. “Dad, I got A+. Dad. DAD. PAY ATTENTION TO ME.”
“Not now honey, I think the dog wants a treat.”
“*grumblemumble* I’m doing good for once…”

37. “Did you seriously just throw a soap-balloon at me?”
“Heh heh, I guess this thing has some good use after all.”
“This family is so weird.”

38. “Voice, care to explain why I woke up with potty hair instead of
my beautiful, carefully disheveled locks?”
Are you sure it isn’t just your normal bedhead?

39. Alright alright. Happy now?
“As a clam.”
I can see that.

40. As you already may have guessed, I removed a lot of CC during my time
off from this neighborhood. Upon switching it back, I decided to swap
some of the kids’ hairs for more maxis match colors (while keeping some
of the shinier ones). Thanks to the batbox I can change their
appearances without even touching them, so Gallium can keep sleeping
without ever knowing what happened <3

41. “Hurry up Lee, I need to shower!”
“He better not be using my loofa.”
“Must not – take eyes off – toddler!”

42. “Never mind the kids; I think you look SMOKING with your pants
hanging like that.”
“Oh Bruce, you still say the sweetest things.”

43. “Oh my plumbbob, please tell me I didn’t just see two old
people make out in the kitchen.”
Hey, if you come for the dinner, you better stay for the show!

44. Sam, it’s the middle of Winter! Just use the bath shed!
“Did you hear something, Mei?”
Ignoring me will not make me want to help you! Although I
agree that the soap bit is somewhat overplayed by now.

45. Sam, aren’t you seeing this? Do something!
“I don’t even care anymore.”
Well I do. Stop him, you emo teenager! Then maybe I’ll tell you
where to find the glue remover.

46. “*sigh* Fine. Hands off the gnome, Lum!”
Too late, he’s gone. Sorry, but there’s no favor for me to return.
“If me and my siblings didn’t have so many nice points I’d be
staging a coup against you.”

47. Look, Neo just maxed out her creativity skill!
“Ssch, I’m painting.”
Oops, sorry. I’ll leave you to your work.

48. It’s a Snow Day! And we all know what that means…
“*groan*”

49. “His hair is darker than when I last saw him. Must be puberty.”
Hi Cal, we’ve missed you around here!
“Not you again.”

50. I suddenly heard a “boi-oi-oing” sound like when a sim falls out
of love/is caught cheating, but the person Bruce is talking on the
phone with has never been a romantic interest (and they didn’t
lose friendship). What is going on? *scratches head*

51. And yes, Bruce is indeed wearing a different suit in that picture.
The founding couple will be kicking the bucket soon, which
means it’s time to put those expensive funeral suits to use.
“I’m the Romance ninja!”

52. In other news, Curium and Dakota have a 100/100 “Master”
relationship without any input from me <3

53. I made Ilo tell the dogs to “Try for Puppy” but Dakota glitched
stuck in front of the dog house for at least half a sim hour :c
I took the liberty of using boolProp petActionCancel since
something was clearly wrong with the command loop.

54. “Hi Uncle Barium! I’d offer you some of my grilled cheese, but I
don’t think you’d be able to digest it.”
“FoOoOoOoOoOod”

55. I realised that Ilo and Bruce have a lot, and I mean a lot of
aspiration points that would be lost when they die. So I turned
the backyard into what from the looks of it could be a mad
scientist’s cloning facility.

56. “Do you have to throw it so hard?”
“Sorry honey, but if you want to play sports you need to learn
how to take a few bruises. And tackles. And illegal kicks.”

57. Lee and Hydra both had good moods, yet neither of them went
to school. I guess finishing a children’s book is worth losing a
grade :> Hydra’s growing up today anyway, so who am I to care.

58. Tellurium brought home Tsygan Asyluma! Hi Tsygan! If I
remember correctly, you’re the… sporty one?
“You’re not even confusing me with my twin, but Russell.
Although I do want to become Hall of Famer…”

59. And Zirc brought home cousin* Georgia!
“Hiii!”
*She doesn’t show up as family because Ura and Juan aren’t married. This could
prove interesting when she’s a teen >:)

60. And lastly, Francium brought home Steve Thomason.
Is that look in his eyes an attempt to suppress the images of his
parents fighting? Is it angst at being separated from his twin
Harvey? We’ll never know for sure.

61. What we do know, however, is that he has dragon outerwear! :D
Mei: “Drats, I have been bested by the staircase. Now how will I
get to eat that delicious yellow snow?”

62. “I found a rat chewing on the power cord to Mom’s computer
and I tried to pet it and it ran under the fridge and we had to
hire some guy with a funny looking van and Mari-Meson – “
“You guys can afford computers?”

63. “Must. Steal. Gnome.”
You can try, but I know where you live!
…do you think I’m allowed to give back gnomes stolen by a
spare household as a gift to someone in the main household?

64. “There’s no room in the tent for me!”
What do you kids even do all night? -_- No help from me
anymore, because it’s finally birthday time!
And for once, my sims grow into the platinum stage o.O

65. “Egads, everybody’s naked in here!”
Francium
Romance/Family
Become Icon

66. “I got buff!”
Zirconium
Family/Fortune
Become Captain Hero

67. “Everybody came to see me grow up, even Uncle Zack!”
Gallium
Family/Romance
Reach Golden Anniversary

68. “Hey, my wrist got all distorted!”
Hydrargyrum
Family/Popularity
Become Media Magnate

69. And since Mei was in her crib at 6 pm, she gets cake and gifts!
The first one is profound hearing loss from the party horns.

70. The second one is performance anxiety.
Mei: “Don’ wanna gwow up!”

71. “I wonder why they’re all still cheering over there. Didn’t they
notice that I left?”

72. “REVEEEEEENGE”
“EEEEEEK!”

73. “…uh oh.”

74. “Come on people, I was coming for him tomorrow anyway.”
Okay so, I know he’ll be an angry ghost and the option to plead
for his death was there, but… I just wanted to get it over with,
save everybody some grief. And free up the household space

75. “I’ve kept them waiting long enough now. Hey everybody, look
at me! …why do I only hear crying?”

76. “I guess it’s my turn next… The mark of death looms upon me…”
Yes, but not yet, because this is where I cut off the chapter.
Happy simming people, and don’t forget to vote in the heir poll!
