Strangetown Extras: The Brokes
Yes, this Strangetown extra takes place in Pleasantview. That makes sense, right? Well, in the sense that it's part of this Stranegtown story... yes, it does. I've been working up the other neighbourhoods to catch up with Strangetown, since this will be relevant to the story (and it's helping me with some of the details). I'm working on a drabble about Frances, which ended up being about Beau too, which then became more of a drabble+ with pics, so I've been playing with the Brokes a little to get some shots.
Something exciting happened: Brandi had twins! The family sim aspiration benefit really does work (but not every time - I played her earlier and had only one child, but didn't end up saving it) . I named the identical boys Gilbert and George. You get the reference, right? I hope so. Anyway, here are a couple of pics. You'll see more in the drabble. I'm having a lot of fun decorating the trailer.
Awww... aren't they adorable?
And there's Beau warming his ass on the radiator, which is (oddly?) one of my favourite new objects in AL. It just adds a nice touch of realism for me. I'd love a really cheap little portable space heater too, but this works for a number of settings.
Here's Beau autonomously playing with his little brother. Again... AWWW.
(Isn't it annoying how some of the SP and EA Store hairs aren't enabled for pajamas, etc? In theory, I like that Seasons feature of different hair with different outfits, but it's more trouble than it's worth most of the time.)
Now... back to get the shots I need for the drabble. I'm making progress on the next chapter too.

That first huggle looks like one of them is about to panic. XD
It has to be my favourite interaction from that EP... with the spring riders a close second. I hadn't tried the radiator yet; now I have to!

Also, that Sims 2 Store can't even be selected as pajama hair if you want to, and it looks like it should be bedhead hair. That's just lazy coding.
The Huggle is great, but I really love the "swing around" thing that you can do with kids. That's going to be in my drabble later.
Radiators behave like fireplaces, in that they give you warmth, and they also make clanking sounds like a real radiator. Very cool.
