~The Worst Wedding Ever Recorded
More Sims 2 nonsense! Hey, I cant scan stuff here, so what else should I do? Whats that? Get a job? Hahahahaha! Oh you funny americans. In russia, job gets you!

So right, I desperately want these screenshots ta be properly APPERCIATED (god, why dont they spellcheck?!) so I fiddled around a bit and got inta my storage domain, where I threw a bunch of images. All da pictures fer da last entry should work nicely now. I recommend ya go check it out!
I started up da game and when I went ta Strangetown, I decided ta visit da Vargas family since they were still living in relative poverty and I hadnt really paid a lot of attention ta them. Da thing is, once I settle in with a family, I normally play fer an ungodly amount of time before switchin ta someone else, so quite a lot happened since then...



I am so fascinated with cooking in this game. Edgars cooking skill is remarkably high, both cause his job requires it (bein a scientist is hungry work, as Dr. Cranium says!) and also cause I wanna see how much stuff he can cook. And Edgar can cook a LOT. Here hes making Salmon. He also can make Turkey, and its a whole turkey! That often shows up in his Desires list. Cooking Turkey. And Serving Food. EDGAR - HOUSEWIFE.

Edgar and Dowasure are still fast friends. Theyre both ungodly nice, which I think may contribute ta it. Edgar is not as playful tho. This doesnt stop them, of course, from doing this absolutely ridiculously long handshake whenever they meet up again. I see Dowasure is still wearing the latest in Dorkwear here.

Though I suppose Edgar cant really talk.

Remember what I said about how Edgar could cook? Yeaaaah, one time he wanted ta make a Tv Dinner, I wasnt paying attention, and he ate it while I wasnt watching. Then he gasped in shock as this massive belly protruded from him like some foreign entity. To be honest, I was rather shocked myself. NOT a good look for Edgar. I immediately set him to working out to reduce that belly, although no one else in the house noticed or cared. However, I know that one of Scriabins huge fears is getting fat, which amuses me way too much.

An RC car! Edgar had quite a bit of fun with it. I put it on da floor in just such a place so that everyone has ta step over it on their way anywhere. Hee hee hee.

Edgar and Scriabin seriously have issues having a pleasant conversation. Everytime they both just get minuses. It fits so well.

Aha! Caught him! He actually does this A LOT. It just gets funnier!

Edgar cant get stop thinking about how silly Scriabin is being. God, control yourself man!

This is surprisingly courageous coming from Edgar, biggest doormat on the planet.

Here they are getting along. Relatively.

Everyone loves their stereo system. Often their wants revolve around dancing with others. Here, Edgar and Scriabin GET DOWN, which really didnt look all that weird. Unlike some dancing couples I could name.

::snerk::

I imagine Edgar, really, cannot dance to save his life.

Here, Scriabin is seducing one of his many conquests. That slut. Edgar is pretending not to notice.

Sims can trick other Sims while playing Chess, often with minus symbols as a consequence. Here, Edgar breaks the mold by contorting his body in response.

I told Edgar to get the phone, and then somehow this happened. Edgar does not seem happy about it.

The layout fer Edgars apartment is very clear in my mind, as well as da design of his room and everything. I can see it all in my minds eye no problem. This is a pretty close replica of Edgars room in terms of bed and window and curtain, although I dont think he has a fern.

While I was tryin ta get Scriabin laid, I heard da familiar Bwaawaawaaa noise of something breaking. I check Edgar, whose fine, then find Nny, who was just standing in the bathroom looking so guilty and miserable. That random dude in the back is Nervous Subject, who I guess wanted Nny to clear out of the bathroom but didnt think itd be a good time to bring that up.

I dont know what it is about the Vargas family, maybe theyre cursed, but everytime they gave me a decision, I kept screwing up. I once did get a question for Edgar right that got him promoted, but I answered one way wrong for Johnny, and he ended up losing three charisma points. Ouch. I had him take a bath when he got home. One of his wants after that was Stay Home from Work. Aww.

JOHNNY HUNGRY grompf grmpf

THIS IS JUST SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ::explodes::

Johnny lounges while Edgar cooks. I like how Nny looks when hes lying down.

Maybe its da hand, I dunno.

Altho that couch has some more interesting uses, ahehehehe.

I like those sandals. God, whats wrong with me?

I was a sucker fer this before and darn it, Im still a sucker fer it taday.

Oh, this is a rather cute story. I took this originally ta catch Johnny punching someone, but in da back there ya can see Edgar and a friend he brought back from work named Laslo. Laslo and Edgar got along very well.
Apparently Nny had some issues with this.

Thats Laslo in da back there. See, everytime Laslo would interact with Edgar (with many plus signs and such, they really got along very well) Johnny would immediately jump in with a hug, a kiss, or a caress. It was very much a combination of PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE and EDGAR IS MINE! ALL MINE! MINE! BACK OFF!
I think eventually Laslo got a little weirded out or intimidated and did leave, altho he and Edgar were best friends at that point. However, after Johnny would kiss Edgar savagely, Laslo would ask Edgar to dance or tell him a joke, then Johnny would jump back in...

I wish I had gotten more shots of it as it was happening, but I think I was snickering too much. JOHNNYS JEALOUS HEE HEE HEE
Laslo and Edgar are still friends, actually. I have yet to see Johnny do this again, but then again, Edgar doesnt get out much. Thats kind of ironic.

After that whole Laslo thing, Johnnys wants immediately began circulating around doing things to Edgar. It escalated from talking to flirting to kissing to making out, then sex! Johnny was quite pleased by da end of it, and I imagine Edgar was too, considering he probably had no idea with Nny was acting so aggressively...romantic? Is that da word Im looking for?

I normally tend ta stay away from da Punch U Punch Me game with this family, since Edgar is such a huge pushover he ALWAYS ends up nursing a sore arm with minus signs above his head. I cant remember how this one turned out. I know by now to NEVER play Punch U Punch Me with Scriabin. He takes advantage of that game SO much.

So at one point, Scriabins desires focused on Buying a Piano. How appropriate is that. I had da cash, so I gave him what he wanted. At this point, Scri had almost no creativity points, but once I got him this piano, it was all hed think about. He played it OBSESSIVELY. Whenever Scriabin wakes up, da first thing he wants ta do isnt go ta da bathroom, or take a shower, or EAT, he wants to play the piano. It fits so well its amazing.

NOW Johnny lets himself be touched. :D

Gossiping is always fun! But what is there to gossip about Edgar?

`You want me to do...what with you now? What is this...dancing?`

`Hey, isnt that your boyfriend over there? Do you think hell care were dancing together?`
`Who? What? Nah, hes fine.`

`God what is he DOING?! That instrument is a piece of art and hes MANGLING IT GOD MY EARS`
`Lets see, I think chopsticks went something like this...`

Much like Scriabins obsession with the piano, Nny often gravitates towards da easel, even if it has nothin ta do with his current job or anything. Hes not as obsessive as Scri is, but whenever he has free time, Nny likes to paint. Is that weird or what?
This was one of da paintings he was doing.

The Iron Chef parody on TV is so awesome. I wish I could get better shots of it. Its great.

Scriabin just SHOT up the Slacker career ladder. Check out that pimping limo.

And heres Scri after achieving his dream of reaching da top of da Slacker career, where he basically just goes ta parties and makes a MINT. Problem is he only has work on weekends, but he makes 1,400 bucks a night, so Im not complaining. Besides, all that freetime gives him time to chase girls. And guys. of all ages.

Nny is painting, Edgars reading, and Scriabin is playing the piano. How perfect is that?

`Doo doo doo, Ill just go check out the hot tub and OH MY GOD WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU NAKED`

I had ta have Scriabin work up his charisma with a mirror. I had him practicing a speech at first, which was okay. Then I switched him ta practicing romance. It shot up MUCH faster. Oh Scri, you huge slut.

I CANNOT drag him away from this piano! Without any need or anything, Scriabin ended up MAXING OUT his Creative skill cause he played that piano SO MUCH. However, now that his creativity is maxed out, Scriabin can play some utterly amazing stuff on the piano. Everyone cheers when they hear him, even da maid.

DANCE PARTY GOOOOOOO

This chick was named Marion, and I think she was Scris first conquest.

One in a line of many. Dont believe me?

Here he is with Olive, who if ya remember also fell in love with Denka. I dont blame her for being seduced. Scriabin, after all, is the slut.

For example, I cant even remember this guys name, but you can bet Scri WooHooed him to next Tuesday.

Im not even sure if this is da same guy or not.

This chick was Scris...third lover I think. I dont remember her name either.

This guy, however, Scriabin has NOT slept with, but he did manage to get the guy to have a huge crush on Scriabin.

I think Scriabins new goal is to WooHoo with five different Sims. And hes well on his way!

I notice tho that Scri tends to seduce women more then men. Im not sure what that means. SOMEONE ELSE FIGURE IT OUT.

Olive I think was a Sim after Scris heart. I think this cause one time they played Punch U Punch Me, and Olive was the one who socked Scri really hard. Hahaha!

Apparently, in Olives memories, it says that she WooHooed the Grim Reaper. ISNT THAT AWESOME
And now, she woohooed a figment of Edgars imagination! Olive is a MACHINE

It cracks me up how many people Scriabin has slept with with no sense of shame.

So one time Scriabin had da day off and was playing da piano, as usual, when some random chick tore by the front of the house and knocked over my garbage can. I was having none of that! I forced Scriabin to stop playing and go confront this chick. Normally I try ta suppress Scris initial urges with others to insult or belittle them, but this time I had no qualms. She knocked over my trash can! For no reason!
I had noticed before that whenever Scri would flirt or sweet talk people, hed occasionally look up at me in annoyance, or grumble to himself. I thought maybe he was just cranky. No. The real reason behind this was that he hated being nice.

So I let him go nuts. Every now and again between pokes and arguments, hed look at me and smile or give me a thumbs up, or just cackle. Nothing makes him happier then annoying other people!
I didnt fight with this chick, tho I wanted to, and she eventually left. Havent seen her since. Darn kids, always on my lawn.

So later on, Scriabin was again home and playing the piano when another guy came by. One of Scris desires was ta meet someone new, so I thought Id greet him then tell him to get out, cause Scri was tired.
They greeted one another, then this guy, Buzz, poked Scri in the chest.
Oh, its on.

No one pokes Scriabin Vargas and gets away with it!
Id be more intimidated by those vicious pokes if he didnt look so gay when he did it.

As ya can imagine, Scriabin was quite jazzed ta be mean ta someone again, and told me so in Simbabble whenever he got a spare moment. Here he is arguing with Buzz, which is one of Scris favorite things ta do with people, as we all know.

Scriabins dream fulfilled - making someone else cry.

The stakes were raised. By now, Scriabins rating for Buzz had dropped very low indeed. Sissy slaps were abound. It was time to get serious.
With a vicious growl, Scriabin attacked!




Sadly, one of da stats NOT needed fer Slackers is body, which Im sure was a factor in Scriabins loss. He got kicked to the ground and, contrary to what this picture may suggest, was not viciously raped.
Buzz left and Scriabin nursed his wounded pride at losing a fight with some army jerk who didnt appreciate his greatness.

Scriabin had some issues getting over the fight, actually. He didnt eat and instead stared at his food while sniffling and weeping. Not the most masculine way to handle a defeat Scriabin. For the next day or so the fight would just run through his head and hed sigh or cry a little. I resolved at this point to make Scriabin buff so that when that army dude came back, Scriabin could beat him to a pulp then go sleep with someone, as his wants seemed to indicate.

`Ugh, they both cant dance. I cant believe Im stuck with these idiots, they have no rhythm.`

Ya may recall from da earlier screenshots how incredibly barren their house was. As I said before, it was cause I was an idiot and made it way, way too big. However, with Scriabins remarkable success as a slacker and Nny and Edgars highpaying jobs, I was soon able ta afford ta make their house much more livable.

Here ya can see I added a sidebit fer da telescope. This would eventually get expanded inta a backyard later on. Definite improvement!

So ya may be wondering `whats with that title?` and now, my friends, youll know.
Altho Nny and Edgars relationship stayed steadily at 100 and had done so for quite some time, I hadnt had them propose yet. Both of their fears would occasionally show that they were both terrified of being rejected for a proposal from the other. Therefore, I was still worried this could happen.
Not only that, but checking the items and such, I found party supplies that I couldnt afford. I resolved that Id store up a nest egg after I had bought them all the nicest things, expand their backyard, and then I would have them get married. Why? Cause I wanted ta see what it was like of course.
I did earn da money, and I set up their backyard.

Not bad at all, I think. This was before I actually knew what throwing a party was like. More on that later.
Meanwhile, they both were working and tired at night, far too tired to do anything. I wanted them ta enter inta their marriage with high spirits and free time, so I waited until they both had da day off. A good decision with Edgar that got him promoted helped me in that case, making their free days coincide much faster.
So finally, with both of their stats high and pleased and with plenty of free time, I decided ta have Edgar bite the bullet and propose. This was a cinematic that was too cute to be believed, but this also means I couldnt get screenshots from it. But Edgar and Nny talked for a bit, Edgar knelt down and took out the box, Johnny looked femininly shocked, then Edgar put the ring on Johnnys finger, then he smiled and cried a bit and lept into Edgars arms and GOD IT WAS SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Where was Scriabin you ask? Where else. Playing the piano.

Here they are cheering fer Scriabins amazing playing. I wish I had gotten closer or something. Ya can see Nnys engagement ring. Kinda. Its different then da wedding rings, its got a big ol diamond on it.

So I bought the cake, champagne, set up the buffet, the balloons, and thought I was ready. After I bought the cake, Johnny went to investigate.

He sighed when he looked at it sadly. I should have taken this for an omen.
An intelligent person would have had a practice party first, or would have saved before so they could do it again if they messed up. I did neither of these. I had no idea how ta do a party. I thought I could handle it. And I couldnt remember if I saved before they proposed, and I didnt want ta lose a ton of playtime. So without any kind of knowledge, I dove into this.

I invited WAY too many people. I should have just kept it to Dowasure and Denka, but I suppose da momentum carried me. Then again, I would have invited more if Scri hadnt slept with half of them and therefore couldnt have lovers crossing paths on Nny and Edgars wedding day. Wow, theres a sentence I never thought Id write.
So everyone arrives. I panic and forget I didnt have a multiperson game, so I bought Myshuno and put it there. This only complicated things as some people started playing that while others tried ta get a toast going. Eventually I got everyone ta pay attention.

It was Denka who organized da first toast. It was da first thing he did. I had no idea what affect champagne would have on a Sim. Not till later. But either way, Denka headed da toast by raising a glass and speaking very seriously in Simbabble.
You may also notice here that on Nny and Edgars wedding day, Scriabin could not be bothered to put on a shirt. He just didnt care.

Everyone drank. Maybe it was cause two toasts happened or I should have been paying more attention, but apparently drinking champagne drives down the bladder gauge A TON, if what happened later is any indication.

Everyone began tinging their glasses with forks from nowhere, staring at Johnny. Im surprised he didnt completely collapse under the pressure.

Encouraged by the glass-tinging, Johnny marched right over and kissed Edgar, and the crowd cheered. At this point, I was thinking `Hey, this is going pretty well.`

Then apparently not pleased enough with Denkas toast, Dowasure stepped up. YOU CAN PICK HIM OUT BECAUSE OF HIS FLAMING PINK TUXEDO. So everyone toasts again. I think this is cute, I have Scri go mix some drinks at da bar.
And then everyone left and walked through da house. I think maybe theyre doing some other group activity. Nope. Everyone had ta go ta da bathroom.
At once.
This is utter chaos.
I thought I made their bathroom too big at first, but with all these sims piling in and yelling and screaming at eachother, it seemed tiny. I put in a restroom stall but I put it in wrong so no one could get in, but Sims kept trying and yelling at me cause they couldnt get to it. Party rating went from Not Bad to DISASTER in record time. By da time I managed ta set up restroom stalls outside off da walls of da house, I was running out of time. Less then a minute remained for Nny and Edgar to actually get married, which I wasnt exactly sure how ta do.
Desperate, I clicked on da arch I bought and found Join Union as an option. I went for it.

If I had just had more time I could have salvaged da party, but as it was they made it ta da arch with seventeen seconds ta spare.

Such smart suits! People pulled themselves out of da hottubs long enough ta watch.

Edgars tux.
I had Nny choose Join Union, since Edgar initially proposed. I love bein able ta switch em around like that. This was also a cinematic, which was too cute but also unable ta screencap. Sob. Anyway, da two of them stared at one another and talked softly as they put the rings on each others fingers. They had this great shot of each of them staring at the other before Nny grabbed Edgar and kissed the heck out of him as everyone clapped.
Afterwards as everyone left, the game gave me a message along da lines of `THAT WAS THE WORST PARTY EVER JESUS WHATS WRONG WITH YOU` like I didnt feel bad enough before. Not only that, Johnny couldnt get over what happened.

I didnt take a shot of him weeping, which he did a lot of, but Nny was deeply upset about how much of a fiasco da party had been. He didnt eat either, just sobbing softly.

Not that Edgar wasnt upset. He was. He just didnt cry about it. But they both couldnt stop thinking about how much their wedding party sucked. And neither could I, ta be honest. Arrrgh. I really wanted it ta go right. I set up everything and planned it all out, and it just blew up right in everyones face. Sob. Also at this point balloons were popping, much like MY DREAMS ::emo::.
But heck, I still had a cake. I went ta go check it out.

This was beyond adorable. Edgar cut a piece, then fed a bite to Nny, who was kind of surprised but laughed anyway. I thought this was beyond cute, but it also made me sad cause this is what SHOULD have happened at their wedding, only I SCREWED IT ALL UP AAAAAGH

Amusingly enough, after they each had a piece, Nny stood and ate his while Edgar apparently had to eat his AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. Yes thats him in da left corner.

So everyone was gone, and I still had champagne. I had them toast one another, which was sweet. I took solace in da fact that really, they probably didnt want a big party anyway, despite what their sad thought balloons and weeping may otherwise indicate. But hey! They WooHooed like crazy that night, so it wasnt a total loss!
A few days later they stopped lamenting their horrible wedding, much like Scri finally stopped obsessing over his embarassing loss to that army guy Buzz. Instead, their latest joint desire was ta Adopt a Child. Hahaha. I dont think so. Not till I can expand da house.

So I bought this Myshuno game and STILL had no clue how ta use it. So I had everyone get tagether ta check it out. Da main thingy tumbles around little green crystals (just like above a Sims head) and then that Sim calls out a...something. Meanwhile, other players have cubes that they stamp. Its like Bingo, only all Simmed up. Im gonna hafta check it out a bit more thoroughly later.

I wish I could have multiple weddings cause that was so cute and I wish I could have gotten screen shots of it. It was adorable. Now, off ta play more!
