As the Manga Pages Turn

Li family loses someone, Touya and Meiling move out

Fri, 19 Nov 2004 20:41:29 GMT

Previously in the Li Family, Cho Li (the grandmother of Shaoran and Meiling, matron and wife of Wei Li) wanted to do the following: Be saved from death, see a ghost, max out her skills. Being the person she was, she had no compunctions to take wandering NPCs and box them into little rooms that were 1x1 squares.

The first was the maid, who died but she could not find his urn. The second was Ricardo, who was a passerby. Days passed and Cho did not see a ghost. A few days before Shaoran was to turn into an adult. Cho got to see the ghost of Ricardo. She was very excited that she got to see one. However the rest of the family was freaked out. Exorcising ghosts consists of merely deleting their urns/tombstones. However, Ricardo was never in his urn to be deleteable. Turns out Ricardo was mad that Cho was cruel enough to kill him that he scared her to death. Unfortunately, at the time Wei was asleep and could not plead for her life. And thus she passed away.

Wei and Ieran took it really badly, Wei cried all day, Ieran does her morning mourning before going to work.

Ironically... Cho is now a ghost that wanders around the house. XD

They grow up so fast!

Touya grew up into an adult and promptly moved out. After finding a job in the law enforcement track, he moved into a small ranch style home with sparse furnishings. Poor Touya, who is a romance sim, seems to be really bad at trying to get the ladies to stay. But things are looking up since Meiling has moved out as well. Hopefully they'll move in together and become friends.

Going Out:

Shaoran's biggest desire is to go out with Sakura. Like a good mama's boy that he is, he has managed to get parental approval twice. Sakura is tickled that Shaoran was smart enough to FINALLY ask her out.

Sakura on the other hand did not have that luck. She snuck out once with Shaoran and was caught by the police! She cried herself to sleep. (o_O)

Meiling tried to sneak out with Tomoyo. However she got caught by the police too! (darn those pesky police!) Yee didn't really care, due to the fact that she was pregnant!

Yee at the time was in her 2nd trimester of her pregnancy and was waddling around maxing out her skills and making friends. While trying to max out her creativity skill, she gave birth to a baby girl! She was trilled that she was no longer huge and not so trilled that she went in to labor while Kennedy was asleep at the time! Kennedy woke up and came down to cuddle the new baby.

Growing Pains and Moving Out...

Thu, 18 Nov 2004 19:02:11 GMT

Nadeshiko had twins! A girl and a boy. So I named the twins Suu and Shin. (To be honest I always wanted to name a boy Shin... he will get punked out when he gets older. XDDD)

They're quite happy about their kids but the house they were in was TOO small. So I moved them out, moved them back into a larger home. This home which was called "The Li Compound" because I had intended to move Shaoran's family in. Turns out that I didn't like the house and made them their own house.

I tore down the walls of the house and remodeled the house to make it more liveable. There's enough room for a growing family.

Wei Li came over as a one-man welcome wagon and promptly decided to see the twins. Unfortunately, this family sim was so entranced by the twins that he wouldn't put Suu down! I had to cheat and move the baby to the floor so that he wouldn't abduct Suu and so that Nadeshiko could give Suu a bottle! After Suu was saved from Wei, Touya made him leave. Resulting in a bug in the game.

After Nadeshiko had her twins she wanted another baby but did not want another baby. After Suu and Shin grew up from toddlers to kids, Nadeshiko adopted a baby girl, whom I named Kohaku. =) Nadeshiko loves Kohaku.

Just as Kohaku came to live with the Kinomoto family. Touya grew up into an adult! I made sure to package the house just in case, but Touya turned out okay, except that he has permanent frown lines around his mouth. O_o

The last we saw of Yee and Meiling Li, they had moved into a lovely victorian home. Yee was fast climbing the political career ladder (She's a State Assemblywoman!) and had quickly become friends with Kennedy Cox (who is in the military business with Kusanagi!)

After Yee managed to romance Kennedy a bit he went home and she retired to her bed. A few hours later, a burgler tried to steal something from her home! The police quickly came by and caught the burlger. Yee and Meiling were distraught from the experience (tho they did get a $500 reward for capturing a criminal.)

The next day Yee tells Kennedy all about the experience and then invites Kennedy to move in. (She thought if she had a man in the house he could help protect her and Meiling o_O)

They soon fell in love and were married soon after.

After a while Kennedy wanted a baby so he lured Yee into their bed for a quick woo-hoo.

More later. This is a long post.

I also uploaded all my pictures so I will be adding pictures to the previous entries. =)

In the event of an emergency, "charm" can be used as a floation device.

Nadeshiko moves in

Fujitaka is a luckless knowledge sim, who has a science job by day and a penchant to burn food by night. So it took Touya to meet Nadeshiko and invite her over when Fujitaka was around. They managed to hit it off and soon afterwards she moved in and later married him.

The most amusing thing about the wedding was that Fujitaka was so happy he was married to Nadeshiko that he forgot about his bladder and thus embarrassed himself at an otherwise GREAT party. He also forgot to shower (he has his head in the clouds I swear) and stank all the way to the honeymoon.

</br>

Now Nadeshiko is waiting for their baby. =)

Don't think just charm

When last checked, Tomoyo and Eriol have been steadily going out and loving it. I think being best friends as kids was the kicker.

Not so for Shaoran (who might I add is true to form to his anime persona.) Shaoran and Meiling grew up in a lovely two story, two building tudor home. Both quite talented. Meiling true to her persona, liked to have more fun than homework and had an A- average. Shaoran on the other hand was good mama's boy and did all his homework prompting a A average.

Ieran Li wanted to have another child, Wei (the patriarch and the grandfather) wanted another grandson. So Ieran adopted, resulting in seven people in one house. The problem was it wreaked havoc on my memory and my graphics card. So Yee and Meiling moved out and into a lovely 3 story cornflower blue victorian home. Of course Yee a fortune sim could NOT stand living in such horrible conditions such as 1 couch, 1 bookcase, 1 bed, etc. and promptly demanded items with a minimum requirement. She took a advance on the Li Clan fortune and promptly decked the house out in the most expensive Maxis had to offer.

Meiling on the other hand was slowly adjusting to growing up without having her entire immediate family around her. With just her and her mother, she found it MUCH easier on herself to be able to breathe.

Shaoran was excited to have a little blond haired, blue eyed brother. No one seemed surprised that the adoption agency gave Ieran a boy that was blond haired. However, he grew up quite well, and learned how to walk and talk from Wei. Wei was tickled that he had a grandson, but was frustrated that neither of his two daughters was married yet!

Fujitaka and Shaoran kept up their correspondance, when he was old enough to be able to cross the street without holding Ieran's hand, he went to the Kinomoto house. He immediately was taken by Sakura! (the AI had him compliment her.)

</br></br>(Note: Shaoran is thinking that he doesn't like Touya. XDDD)

Of course... he kept opening his big mouth and failing to keep her interested.

Later, Shaoran invites Sakura to his home. How not being with the girl you like is considered to be NOT FUN, is beyond me. The maxis programmers must have issues with dating girls as fun. Shaoran kept up a steady stream of conversation, admiration, and flirting. Though he could never sweet talk to her, she kept going "ewwwwwwwww... no." Thus resulting in Sharoan losing points with her. However, they managed to have their first kiss together. Both were quite happy about that. But right after he kissed her he managed to say something that she disagreed with and complained about the lack of fun things to do in his life. Sakura saw that she was not fun to Shaoran and turned down his suggestion that they go steady.

Shaoran is, I have to say, quite stupid in the ways of romancing a girl. >D

Next: Yuzu has her fifth child?! Touya lusts after Yukito, he would rather pretend to be a pirate in the tub than see Touya.

Yuzu Baby Maker II

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 16:47:48 GMT

Yuzu tied the knot with Kusanagi. They're quite happy about it too. Kyou (Yuzu Spawn1) was tickled that Kusanagi was going to be his father, especially after Kamui left the family high and dry (angst does that you know.)

After Yuzu came back from her brief solo honeymoon, they decided to go for Yuzu Spawn #3. After an agonizing 3 days, wherein Yuzu would complain about everything except social. The great room down stairs turned into the baby station, first with a bed and a shower stall. I figured the shorter the path between food, rest, sleep, and fun would mean she would pass out less, freak out less and be a bit happier. Kusanagi is a prude btw, he had a hard time dealing with Yuzuriha showering naked in their family room. Oh well...

Pregnancy is not fun on sims, and it turned out that she had twins! Girls! I named the girls Rika and Hikaru. Tho in retrospect I should have named them Kisa and Ayame or something Furuba-like since her two sons were named Yuki and Kyo (respectively.) Baby station turned into "Girl's Room" until I decided to rebuild the bottom floor.

On a side note, I plan to give Kyou orange hair and meet a Touru just for laughs.

Kyou grew up (with his father's bad fashion sense, the man could never coordinate colors well, it probably explains why he stuck to black, white, red.) he turned from a toddler to a kid with a red t-shirt and a long sleeved yellow shirt underneath (McD's anyone?) He also had a penchant for growing his hair long. I quickly had it cut to something less GHEI.

Yuki has sadly taken on Yuzu's bone structure but has all the features of his father. Small nose, BIG eyelashes, and thin lips. He looks rather scary as a toddler. Hopefully Yuzu Spawn 3 and 4 will be better proportioned.

With the addition of two babies and Yuki who was on his last leg as an infant, I added on to the first floor as well as knocking down the third floor. Hired a nanny so that Yuzu and Kusanagi could talk to each other and have some sort of fun.

And that is how Clamp characters spawn.

Eriol Update

Fri, 22 Oct 2004 18:44:31 GMT

Eriol grew up! =D He's a gifted child too, I need to get him a less nerdy outfit and something more Eriol like. =)

Next: Tomoyo!

Clow gets a bun in the oven, Sonomi is a bad host! =O

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 18:07:32 GMT

First and foremost, how Tomoyo and Eriol managed to be FRIENDS was a stroke of luck, it had nothing to do with me directing her to the computer to chat. (Okay it did, but from that point on everything else was the game AI.)

Cut for friends lists. <3

Kamui and Fuuma destroying worlds and making out in hot tubs. Its rather trashy yet so much like a shoujo manga where there are love knots. XD

Sonomi, bad host! No cookie!

Sonomi is a bad host. Let me say that for sure. However, I can say that if you a) use the buffet when the headmaster comes and b) schmooze with him and c) give him a tour, you should technically be able to get into private school. Sonomi is not the best of cooks so I had her use the buffet. However this created a HUGE problem such that she could never get Tomoyo, the headmaster, and herself in the same room to even call for dinner. >_< This proved to be stressful I kept yelling at Sonomi to stop being a wanker and to get the dinner over with the headmaster. (He LOVES Sonomi's house... er mansion.)

Too bad since Tomoyo was such a gifted child. >_<

Good Cop Eriol, Robber Tomoyo!

Things looked up when Tomoyo brought a friend home from school! It turns out it was Eriol! =DDDD They LOVE to play Cops and Robbers and Mary Mack when Eriol initiates it. (He refused to play Mary Mack the first time Tomoyo suggested it, such a pansy! XD) Tomoyo loves to be the robber and die dramatic deaths which makes Eriol run to her aid. XDDDD

Eriol and Tomoyo love to go to each other's houses and play Tag, Cops and Robbers, SSX 3 on the MaxisPS2, and Mary Mack. Sonomi comes at about 9pm to collect Tomoyo or Clow does vice versa. This resulted in Clow and Sonomi being friends! =DDDD Way cool.

Never ever make Clow look through the super expensive telescope

Clow is a Knowledge sim (What else could he BE? ^_~) He also has a science career track, which sadly after getting him the super expensive telescope resulted in the most hilarious outcome EVER.

Friday night (3 days before Eriol turns into a teen btw) Eriol comes home from work as a Lab Assistant and does some cleaning, eatting, reading, and begins to work on his logic score by stargazing. I was aiming for 2nd logic skill point by using the telescope (and thus fulfill two of his needs at once) when the Alien Cinema popped up.

Clow gets abducted by ALIENS! And gets impregnated with an alien baby. This traumatizes Nakuru and Eriol very much,they have a negative memory marker where they can't believe that Clow could be so chipper after the experience. Clow on the other hand, has a positive memory marker, he thought seeing aliens was the coolest thing evar! So now Clow is puking left and right.

Meanwhile Nakuru is true to character, she is great at making friends and dislikes homework. I had to make her do ALL her homework by alternating between SSX 3 on the PC and homework. Poor thing she's going through some major teen moments, she's moody, craves social, wants more fun than work, and has pimples. On the good side she likes to clean.

Now... what do I name the Clow-spawn? XD

Next: Nadeshiko Daidouji... will she meet Fujitaka!?

Life is like a cheap romance, or a really twisted shoujo manga

Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:38:59 GMT

There are two houses that are across from each other in Tomoeda.

The Monou house featuring Fuuma and Kotori (who LOOKs so much like her its kind of scary.)

The Shirou house featuring Kamui, Yuzuriha (who looks like an adult Yuzu its neat!), and their first boy Kyou.

Fuuma is a fun loving, playboy who wanted to get a job in the slacker career. Currently, Fuuma is my most successful character in terms of job promotion. (He is currently a Party DJ who works from 11-5am and gets T-Th off.) He decided that Kamui was going to be one of his loves.

They got along fine, and Kamui despite being a family oriented sim, fell hard for Fuuma's charm. So much that when I was playing Shaoran's family, they appeared, Yuzu with Kamui and Fuuma as a welcome committee. Unfortunately, Fuuma caught Kamui with Yuzu. All Kamui can say is "Whooops, should have been more discreet and not get caught!" The game itself likes to mess with my sims without me. XD

Fuuma and Kamui eventually make up and resume their relationship. Fuuma managed to get enough aspiration points to not only get a hot tub but also the Love Tub, where Fuuma and Kamui do the hot tub dance.

Mean while, Kamui and Yuzu really want kids, so they try for a kid. Three tries, and three days later, Yuzu gives birth to Yuki. (I wanted a girl ;_;) and Kamui and Yuzu couldn't be happier and more tired.

However happy moments end when Kamui invites Fuuma over and Yuzu catches them making out in the kitchen while she goes to get Yuki a bottle.

Yuzu is so distraught that she breaks up with Kamui right away. Kamui leaves with only the red pajyamas on his back. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuma!

Kamui moves into a retro 70's designed house, and begins his life as a bachelor again. He invites Fuuma over to console himself. After a day or two of consolation, Fuuma invites Kamui over to his house and not only invites him to move in with the Monou family, but gets engaged to him! Fuuma was not pleased with this outcome but Kamui is so happy he dreams of having a wedding party soon. Which is the LAST thing on Fuuma's list of things to accomplish. Kotori also thinks this is a bad thing, but if its what her brother wants... then she has given her blessings. XD

Kotori? She's slowly becoming a really good painter. O_____O She will actively get up, shower, eat, and then paint her free time away until she goes to work.

Little did Kamui know that Yuzu met Kusanagi Shiyuu. He lived in a neat little two bedroom ranch style house and works as a military recruit. (So fitting!) Yuzu has an affair with Kusanagi. Kusanagi comes over to Yuzu's house to console her and she asks him to move in. It turns out that Yuzu is jumping the gun a bit, Kusanagi moves into the house and quickly takes over duties as father. He cares for the kids and plays with them while Yuzu goes to bed really tired.

It seems as though Yuzu is no longer agreeing with Kusanagi. x_X

Later: Sonomi Hostess of of the Mostess Schmoozing with the Headmaster to get Tomoyo into school.

As the Manga Turns Ep 1

Fri, 08 Oct 2004 16:38:32 GMT

Pardon the crudeness of the images as well as the sims. But Clamp men are HARD to translated into Sims2 3D.

But first, the first thing Seishirou does when he arrives at his new home. (All on his own free will!)

The Ballad of Seishirou and Subaru

Tomoeda is a lovely little town in the Osaka area of Clampville. With a bridge (let's call it.. oh say... Rainbow Bridge) and a radio tower (Tokyo Tower) Tomoeda is quite lovely.

Meet Seishirou

Quite the ladies man, his aspiration is romance and lots of it.

Subaru and Hokuto have decided to move out of the Sumeragi compound and move to Tomoeda.

Seishirou meets Subaru

(Note they're talking about the end of the world as usual. Subaru is quite the environmentalist actually.)

Seishirou decides that Subuaru is his first conquest. (No kidding)

Of course it backfires

Next: Tomoyo the Gifted Child

I've decided to use oooshiny as my sims2 lj. In honor of the sims company Shiny Things Co. >D
