Now that Orthopox has joined the household, time to give him a bit of an introduction! Orthopox Vajjer is a workoholic, party animal, a daredevil, good, and a natural cook. He wants to be a Celebrated Five-Star Chef. His favorites are pop music, tri-tip tofu steak, and hot pink, and he’s a scorpio. I sent him off to get a job in the culinary career.
Little Foongus’ favorites, since I hadn’t written them down last time, are disco music, fruit parfait, and lime green, and he’s a virgo.
Vespiquen: He likes lime green, kinda like his skin color. How funny!
Vespiquen: Oh, Ortho! Don’t you want to come study mermaid biology by admiring the offspring growing inside of me?
Orthopox: Not right now, I’m afraid. I must update my people on the status of my new “job.”
Vespiquen: Ughh, fine.
Vespiquen: Kid, I’m feeling neglected. Adore me?
Elekid: You know I always do, my love.
Mr. Mime: Look at those two, so sweet ❤
Scizor: Who the heck could be calling me?
Scizor: Oh, Alexis! From math class. Of course I remember you, we held hands on the playground and played Elsa and Anna today.
Scizor: Wait, you’re a boy?! Eww, I can’t believe I held hands with a boy…
Okay, looking at his picture now, I can see it. But seeing him in Scizor’s relationship panel with the name “Alexis,” I definitely assumed he was a girl with short hair.
Elekid: I’m so happy you’ve come to me, Quen. Doesn’t it feel nice having my arms wrapped around you?
Vespiquen: Yeah, sure. Wait, Ortho’s coming!
Orthopox: My mermaid, I’ve finished my report. Would you like to accompany me while we…what’s the phrase? “Netflix and chill?”
Vespiquen: Oh plumbob yes. You know I’d love that.
Elekid: Why is my love so cold, Mother?
Margaret: I’m not your mother, Kid. And who knows what’s wrong with that one. Certainly nothing to do with my parenting.
Delibird: Could you grownups give me some space, please? I’ve been on the same page the past ten minutes…
Vespiquen: Oh, Ortho. Your arms feel so nice wrapped around me.
Margaret: Hussy.
Scizor: I’m supposed to do a family tree for science class today, but this family is just too confusing…
Scizor: At least I can get lost in the world of fantasy for a while.
Clone though she may be, I do quite like our nerdy Scizor.
Elekid: Why are you out of bed, Quen? And why are you all hunched over like that???
Vespiquen: The baby’s coming, you dolt!
Margaret: Did somebody say the baby’s coming?!
Elekid: Hmm….I think I’ve come up with a plan to win over Quen. Two can play the “make ’em jealous” game.
Elekid: Mrs. Kanto, you look like such a prize today.
Margaret: Ewww, Kid. What the hell are you doing?
Vespiquen: Mommy! Kid!!!
Elekid: Dearest Margaret, can’t you see I’m just trying to show you the love you so desperately desire?
Margaret: Dude. I’m happily married. And you wanna bang my daughter. GTFO.
Elekid: What a failure to launch. Oh well, Happily Evil After will have to wait until tomorrow.
Vespiquen: Excuse me, can we focus on the important thing again? I’ve had my baby!
Quen’s fourth child is a baby girl named Ariados!
Ariados is insane and clumsy, an interesting combo. She likes island life music, hambergers, and the color pink, and she is a cancer. She’s also a ghost/mermaid. Darn, not a werewolf. Oh well, she’s still a hybrid. (Note: in case you’re wondering, I don’t use the nraas hybrid mod. I might someday, but probably not for this legacy since we’re so close to the end already.)
Not that it matters for babies, but I deghostified Ari. Green skin again!!! I don’t think I ever showed you, but Aubergine is on a pink skin slider, meaning Ari has Mimey’s skin. We still have an alien baby to produce, so I’m forseeing a very green generation this time around. Crazy how I had such a hard time passing down berry skins in previous generations, and now Andy’s green skin seems unstoppable.
Vespiquen: Done with that one. Time to get this next conquest over with.
Now that she’s not pregnant, Quen sets out to explore the catacombs with the lamp.
Orthopox: I’ve molded this snow into the image of my people. I do hope the family matriarch will be pleased.
Orthopox: What manner of infant is this? Why was the mermaid woman’s baby born deceased? I have so many questions about this world. But this infant is still soft and squishy like the others.
Scizor: Gramma Ling, I’ve been reading a lot about the fae lately, and I’ve heard they love flowers. Is that true? Do you think I could plant some flowers and attract a fairy?
Deerling: If you wish to summon death upon this household, be my guest. Summon the evils of the Fairy Lord.
Scizor: Uhhh, okay. I guess I’ll stick with my stories then.
Orthopox: Pardon the inturruption, small child. Strangely attractive human woman.
Deerling: An alien? Don’t look too closely, Ling. His excessive charm and hotness are a ruse to capture you and probe you for information. Although, maybe probing wouldn’t be so bad.
Scizor: Yeah…time to go, Scizor.
Hmm…if Quen ever gives up her obsession and decides she wants Elekid, I could maybe ship this…
Toddler time! Here’s our little Plantsim baby, and he’s quite adorable!
And here’s little Ariados! I wasn’t able to change her scale colors, so please excuse the pink scales for now. We’ll try again when she’s a child.
As we’ve already seen, Ari has Mimey’s green skin, although I think it’s on Aubergine’s place on the slider. She also has Aubergine’s pink hair and light blue eyes. She looks a lot like her father off the bat, but again, we’ll see when she’s older.
The new toddlers get put right in the playpen. I’m glad they have each other to learn with, easy way for kids to have decent relationships starting out!
No skill bar! Ling’s maxed alchemy, so now it’s time to go around throwing elixirs at people.
The boys are good lackeys potential husbands, as they each work toward their LTW.
Our nerdy couch potato enjoys some video games.
Scizor: It’s super weird that I held hands with Alexis, but I can move past it. He’s a great party member in Simscape!
Poor Mimey doesn’t appear much anymore, so here’s a picture of him pondering his next move.
Mr. Mime: I do sometimes wish Porygon were still here so we could spend some quality time together…
Maybe we’ll invite him over sometime, Mimey.
Kid’s not the only one who gets put on toilet training duty. Not that Ortho seems to mind so much. It’s a learning experience.
Orthopox: Please do not mind me, tiny mermaid. I am simply studying another aspect of your biological function.
Delibird: New Dadda is kinda weird. But at least he doesn’t steal my candy like other Dadda.
Off Ling goes to throw bottles at random Sims!
Deerling: Plop.
Cedrick: WTF?! Can’t you Kantos just leave me alone?!
Deerling: ~gently places bottle~
Guy: Uhh, thanks?
Deerling: Are you happy, Fairy Lord? I’ve given you another minion. Now won’t you leave me alone?
Old Man: Wings? Why do I have wings?
Vespiquen: I summon you, oh Jammie the genie.
Jammie: Hey there! Did you accomplish your task?
Vespiquen: Ughhh….
No, we did not accomplish our task. Quen’s been in the catacombs several times now, and she keeps getting kicked out after being electrified. I’m assuming it’s because our household has too many Sims, and even with mods, the game doesn’t want me to add Jammie. I was going to free Jammie and have her get pregnant so Quen would only have to go through two more pregnancies herself. It’ll be quite some time before our house isn’t overstuffed though, and I really want a genie baby, so…
Vespiquen: ~sigh~
Jammie: ~is pleased~
The first time didn’t take, and I’m glad it didn’t! I forgot to reroll her face!
Much better. Now get back in there, Quen!
Vespiquen: Grrr…..
Orthopox: This dancing activity is quite pleasurable! Very different from the leisure activities available on my home planet.
Scizor: Another one? These little siblings just keep multiplying…
Vespiquen: Just you wait, Ortho my love. I’m just a few steps away from being able to pledge myself to you forever!
Orthopox: I am quite interested in finally getting those biology lessons you promised, I will admit.
Deerling: Umm…I think we have a problem.
Old Woman: Is…is that man dead?
Dead Guy: What just happened…?
So….I was just clicking random elixirs to use on random Sims, and I must have given this old man an age of instant.
…..oops. Sorry, buddy.
Psyduck: Gramma just killed someone….
Well, on that note…I think it’s time to go. Thank you guys so much for reading, and Happy Simming! See you next time, everyone.
Kanto Legacy 
Ooh, ghostie baby! Annoying about the lack of werewolf, but at least you got a baby out of Aubergine. I think toddlers can change their scales if you send them to a dresser? Maybe? It’s been a while since I’ve played, lol.
Yeah, it was a bit annoying to not get a werewolf. Apparently those mermaid genes are pretty dominant lol. I’ve played pretty far ahead, so unfortunately toddler scale colors never get changed since I didn’t think there was a way to 😅 this is my first time playing with mermaids, so it’s a learning experience.
