It's finally baby time! Morgan 'breaks the news' to Tomax, who is understandably excited. He's been training for this moment since he moved in... he's actually holding a Parenting book at this very moment.
Tomax: 'Finally! I can do something other than watch paint dry.'
Morgan spends most of her pregnancy working on her Acting skill. She has an audition that she nails and--thankfully--her actual debut isn't until after she's given birth.
It's weird that there's no stipulation for being pregnant, though. Like a shooting adjustment, recast, or anything. Typical TS4, I guess!
Morgan's pregnancy has clearly affected her brain, because she does stupid things like eat outside in a snowstorm wearing her pajamas. You're going to freeze!
Morgan: 'There's a heat lamp. I'm fine.'
The chair is covered in snow. Go inside.
She survives long enough to birth the first of generation seven, Asherah! I really wanted multiples to make for less pregnancies, but I have zero luck with that it seems. Oh well.
New Year's Eve results in Becca and Glaucus making out while the other two... high five? They did eventually kiss, though it was oddly delayed.
I do like how that if they watch the countdown, they'll interact with their closest romantic interest or friend. It's cute.
Morgan, unfortunately, seems to take after her dad. She has no aptitude for this spellcasting thing.
Morgan: 'I told you I didn't like this stuff!'
Good thing, because you're awful at it.
At least she's better with acting. She's nailing all of her roles and slowly, we're getting closer to completing her aspiration. I'm bummed her fame level is so low, though... even after all of this time. She hasn't even hit two stars!
Maybe you suck after all.
Morgan: 'Hey!'
I have to say, a lot of this stuff reminds me of that old game
'The Movies.' I loved that game, even if it didn't deliver everything I'd hoped. Most of these zany things--like locking up a sea creature--really take me back to that game.
If left to their own devices, Glaucus and Morgan will be in the gym. I had to lock Becca out after she almost died for the tenth time from exhaustion. It's so weird to have these gym rats in the family.
Morgan: 'C'mon, dad, you're hogging the weight bench.'
Glaucus: 'Wait your turn and respect your elders.'
Okay, Morgan, you're no longer allowed to fix things with magic... since you fail
every time. You're just like your dad!
Morgan: 'Ugh.'
And unlike him, we're not investing time into getting you to overcome this. Time to throw in the towel.
Probably for the best, since she's pregnant again! Tomax is pleased. It gives him more to do than just watching the garden grow, which he's taken to doing autonomously. It's pretty funny and his Gardening skill is up to six just on his own. We were finally able to evolve plants after several generations!
This grumpy guy returns home after maxing out his Chef career. Why the face?
Glaucus: 'Being a Celebrity Chef sucks.'
What, you don't like the fame?
Glaucus: 'No. I'd rather go back to spellcasting.'
Well, you've done what we set out to do--get the no spoil food thing, so you can do whatever you want now.
Asherah becomes a curious, and adorable, toddler. I find it hilarious that she almost always makes an angry face. This child eats like a teenager. It's maddening.
Morgan finally deigns to do some parenting. I'm shocked.
Morgan: 'Hey! I parent plenty.'
Telling Tomax to do something with Asherah isn't quite the same thing.
Morgan: '...well, it should count.'
It doesn't.
Tomax and the bunny day rabbit are locked in a pretty strange staring contest. What's going on here?
Tomax: 'I'm protecting my daughter from this weirdo.'
I can't really say why the bunny decided to sit here for hours while Asherah slept...
Tomax: 'Exactly. I'm not leaving, not until it does.'
Well, good luck.
Morgan continues to get roles, despite her pregnancy. In fact, it seems to bolster her role as an undercover society lesbian. Her lover is just past the wall while her husband has a go at her about their dalliance.
At least, that's what I'm going with. The game assigned her romantic partner as a woman. The stories make themselves!
Morgan: 'Ugh, I don't think that steak from the craft services table agreed with me...'
Your problem is you ate steak at a craft services table.
Morgan: 'I'm... gonna go barf now.'
You do that. Sigh.
Glaucus keeps the family tradition of aiding my fast descent into madness by encouraging dining at the couch.
Glaucus: 'It's comfy!'
You're a monster. Why did I even give you guys a table?!
Glaucus: 'The birthday cakes have to go somewhere, right?'
Ugh.
I get the notification that Becca's days are numbered and then find her chatting with Morgan. I imagine she's trying to go over the specifics of her inheritance, being a high powered lawyer and all, but it's likely sailing right over Morgan's head.
Nice effort, though, Becca.
We have another girl, Tiamat! I'm not sure if she'll actually have such a dark complexion, because the game lies with babies, but I'm hoping she does. She'll be just like Tasi!
One more kid to go for Tomax's Big Happy Family Aspiration. Their age disparity is going to be awful.
