I’m Surrounded By Idiots Chapter 5

It wasn’t long before Serena started to get morning sickness. She knew she must be pregnant.

Karma grew into an adult with the aspiration of “Dense Dunce”. She immediately broke down.

snapshot_57273e14_172c0f13

I just had to post this picture to show how weird she looked. Quite scary.

snapshot_57273e14_972c0f5e

She changed her hairstyle. A bang falling a bit over her eyes would probably distract the extremely large eyes.

snapshot_57273e14_d72c11f4

She’s constantly talking to the soccer ball. She’s loosing her mind because her aspiration is so low.

snapshot_57273e14_f72c12ed

Serena is about 4 months pregnant and starting to show. She painted a picture for the baby’s room.

Oliver is doing much to help around the house. He’s mostly reading the paper or sleeping. Serena doesn’t even think he has a job.

snapshot_57273e14_972c16e0

Serena is getting closer to her due date.

snapshot_57273e14_372c187f

Oliver was cooking and managed to cause a fire. Serena doesn’t seem bothered by this.

snapshot_57273e14_772c1961

Karma decides to get a job in the education career. [I am allowed one free command per Sim throughout their lifetime, for Karma I used it to get her a job.]

Baby girl Treena is born. She has her father’s grey eyes and black brows. Oliver is looking very pale after playing outside in the snow for too long.

snapshot_57273e14_772c27a9

Charles is so happy to be a grandfather. He adores Treena. He only wishes his wife could have seen her.

snapshot_57273e14_572c2ba4

Oliver obviously has a job in the police department. [When I changed his clothes, I noticed that he’s a Romance aspiration. I am allowed to change clothes, but I have to close the things in order not to see the wants and needs, but I could see the aspiration thing.]

snapshot_57273e14_b72c2c63

Serena hires Nanny Heidi since she was her nanny when she grew up. Heidi is very old now, but she is still capable of looking after kids.

snapshot_57273e14_772c2ee7

[Ok, I had paused the game in order to go make dinner, but when I came back I realized the game hadn’t been paused!!! I was away from the computer for like 2 hours, if not more! 3 days went by! Serena had just found out that she was pregnant again, and when I came back to the computer, I found her sleeping on the floor, her needs were extremely low, close to dying even!! And she was on her third day of her pregnancy. When I looked at her memories, she had witnessed a fire, and had been scared by her mother’s ghost. It’s a miracle that she is alive and that nobody died.]

snapshot_57273e14_d72c48f7

[Oh, and when I checked on Treena, I realized that she was now a toddler.]

snapshot_57273e14_572c4ab3

After taking care of a few things to get back in order, Serena taught Treena to walk.

snapshot_57273e14_772c4b7a

She went to give Oliver a backrub, but he refused. He was too much of in a bad mood.

snapshot_57273e14_172c4f3d

Charles was looking through the telescope when he started having chest pain.

snapshot_57273e14_172c5012

Charles died at 79 years of age. Serena knew he couldn’t live forever, but she was devastated to loose him.

snapshot_57273e14_d72c5077

Charles received a gold tombstone. I think it’s because he reached his LTW. It’s the first time I ever see one.

snapshot_57273e14_772c516b

That same night that her father passed away, baby girl Jabelle was born.

snapshot_57273e14_572c5323

Oliver was scared by Sarah’s ghost. She passed away of old age, one would think she wouldn't go around spooking people.

snapshot_57273e14_572c543d

Oliver broke down. His aspiration is always so low. He probably didn’t want a baby, and then being scared by Sarah probably made it worse.

snapshot_57273e14_972c5469

Karma helps with the kids. She’s a good aunt and loves those kids. But she really wants plastic surgery.

snapshot_57273e14_372c55b3

Finally she has it done. She got the plastic surgeon to give her a nose and lips. He told her he couldn't fix the size of her eyes because she would go blind.

snapshot_57273e14_972c582f

Although she’s far from being beautiful, she feels beautiful now that she looks more “human”.

snapshot_57273e14_f72c5841

Oliver was so tired and confused that he went to bed even though Karma was sleeping there. He immediately got up, changed bed, got up again and would go to this bed again, and so on, for quite a few times.

snapshot_57273e14_f72c5894

Whenever he gets up he says he’s starving. Serena has put out some food for him, but he doesn’t go.

snapshot_57273e14_372c64a2

Karma managed to set the food on fire.

snapshot_57273e14_572c661d

Finally, Oliver takes a shower and eats.

I’m Surrounded By Idiots Chapter 04

As soon as Serena got the torch, she bought herself a pottery table. It really helped her mood to play on it. Charles was really impressed by how fast she was learning. Charles was 62 years old when he passed her the torch.

snapshot_57273e14_5729e6f3

Charles has a talk with Serena now that she is an adult she has much more responsibilities. He tries to give her good advices.

snapshot_57273e14_972ae8e9

Serena is now the one helping Karma with her homework every night or mornings.

snapshot_57273e14_172ae418

Serena finds a job in the Art career.

snapshot_57273e14_d72ae945

Karma is still very popular and making friends so easily.

snapshot_57273e14_d72af03a

Sometimes she goes outside at night, looking through the telescope and wonders where she is from.

snapshot_57273e14_f729ec3e

Serena calls the matchmaker to help her find her perfect match.

snapshot_57273e14_f729f1d0

She just glanced at the man that the matchmaker suggested and told him goodbye.

snapshot_57273e14_f729f210

She asks for another one. She pays another 5 thousand dollars.

snapshot_57273e14_5729f1a9

She’s now feeling discouraged as she sees her second choice. She also tells him goodbye right away.

snapshot_57273e14_9729f28b

She invites Jess King over, but there is still no attractions between the two of them.

snapshot_57273e14_1729fcb0

Maybe it’s his green shirt, but she just doesn’t like him.

snapshot_57273e14_f729fe56

She then tries to get to know Nathan, but again she has no attraction towards him at all.

snapshot_57273e14_572ae2ad

Then she meets Oliver, she isn’t feeling any attractions yet, but she is now feeling very desperate. She isn’t getting any younger!

snapshot_57273e14_172aeeb6

She introduces Oliver to her father. Charles isn’t sure what to make of him yet.

snapshot_57273e14_d72aef27

Her mother seems to like him right away.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b0183

Charles and Serena shared the same car to go to work that day. Whenever they come home from work they always do this gesture/dance thing.

snapshot_57273e14_772b18f8

Karma is hitting puberty and starts to be more conscious about her looks and boys.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b1e5a

She has a lot of friends but her favourite one is Whyatt Shin.

snapshot_57273e14_f72aeab0

She wonders if one day a boy could actually like her for more than just friends. She is fully aware that she doesn’t look like the other girls. Some people are afraid and freaked out about her looks, but some are intrigued and curious.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b20af

Serena spends a lot of time talking on the phone with Oliver. She asked him out on a date two times so far and he refused both times.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b217d

Finally on the third try he agrees to go on a date with her and she has her first kiss.

snapshot_57273e14_d72b0048

It took a long time for them, but they finally have a crush on each other.

snapshot_57273e14_d72affad

After their date, instead of leaving her some flowers, he left her a lamp. Serena isn’t sure what it means. Is it an insult or does it show he cares?

snapshot_57273e14_772b237d

Things are going great at Serena’s job. She’s now a Wedding Photographer.

snapshot_57273e14_572b2472

While Karma is doing very well in school and still making friends, she isn’t really happy because she keeps taking her frustrations out on the trashcan by kicking it.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b253d

Serena invites Oliver over again. This time she wears a cute little yellow dress and decides to wear a bit of blush. She’s hoping he will like her more.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b288e

They spend some time cuddling on the couch. Karma’s friend comes to interrupt.

snapshot_57273e14_172b2975

Later when they are alone things get a bit heated.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b299b

She finally decides to be bold and asks him to marry her. He was really happy and said yes.

snapshot_57273e14_372b28e3

Things are now going so great for her. On the day of her wedding she got a promotion at work. She then hurried to prepare the wedding party. She wanted everyone to be there and wanted to time it for when her mother got home from work at 7pm.

snapshot_57273e14_172b2f0d

But just as her mother arrived from work, death came to get her. Serena was devastated. She was just minutes away from getting married. She was younger than Charles, yet death came for her.

snapshot_57273e14_572b316d

Serena wanted to cancel the wedding but her father didn’t let her. He didn’t even cry when Sarah passed away. He must be in shock.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b3239

It was sad to see an empty space besides her father, where her mother should have been.

snapshot_57273e14_172b329c 

Serena was very concerned for her father, but he assured her that he was ok and not to worry so much.

snapshot_57273e14_172b32f4

Serena influenced Karma to flirt with Whyatt. She was very shy and scared to do it, but she finally did it and he responded well.

snapshot_57273e14_972b333c

Poor Charles was too tired to show any emotions for his wife’s passing and his daughter’s wedding.
