Chapter 2.1

Welcome back to Herping and Derping! I’m on a roll with these chapters; one more, and I’ll be caught up with where I’m at in-game!

Let’s jump back in.

First things first: the new Derpington house! Do you like it? I made it from scratch. I’m thinking of uploading it, too, if anybody wants it.

Penny: What’s up with this?! The plants look weird! Is it radioactive here?!?!
No, Penny, it’s just that you’re now in the neighborhood of Lunar Lakes!

Dutchman: Huh… not sure how I feel about this neighborhood…
Goober: This place is non-conventional. I like that.

Peaches: Hey, what’s up down the street?
Oh, that? Well, that’s just…

The rest of the family!!! I couldn’t bear to leave them behind, so everybody tagged along! Yeah! With the help of Twallan’s Mover mod, I was able to move the entire family and preserve the relationships between the sims, too.

I think that Used Napkin may be a little bit traumatized because of the move. She’s been sitting over in the hedge cuddling with Rags.
Used Napkin: It’s okay, Rags, it’s just a bad dream, just a terrible nightmare. We aren’t on an alien planet, really!
Well, she’ll get used to it eventually…

Penny hops over to the house across the way to say hi to her cousin and aunts.

Pat: Betch, please, I’m so not living in this house with my crazy ex-wife.

You don’t really have a say in the matter, Pat.

Pat: Uh, what’s wrong with Sophie?
Meh. Must be adjusting to the slightly different gravity. I’m sure she’ll be fine.

While our dogs are warping, I send Chip to the cemetery to reclaim the rest of the family. Luckily, they were there! When I didn’t see their graves in the inventory, I got worried.

Chip met an alien woman at the cemetary, although she looks surprisingly normal. I wonder if the aliens are dressed up as humans…. we may have to go alien hunting!

Naturally, Cuddles finds the sprinkler. This is all he did at the other house, too.

The garden is prettier here, though.

Just a shot of the backyard/garden area.

I kind of like how their house is normal, and the only patch of green on an alien world.

Well, Goober seems to be adjusting to the move. Let’s check in on Used Napkin.

Used Napkin and Rags decided to check out the indoor pool.

And Chip hit the gym just adjacent to the pool. Also, I thought I’d let you know that as I’m writing this, I’m re-installing my game. Up to Late Night now! Woo (just a ton more to go…).

If you look out the window, you can see the family mausoleum/cemetery. That’s the new home of Generation 0 and 1.

It isn’t long that the family is living here before I get this pop-up:

OH MY. Wumbo can’t be happy about this.

Of course, it seems that she was a bit busy herself with her new-found booty call.

*head/desk*

Typical.

CUDDLES. STOP PHOTOBOMBING. I’M TRYING TO TAKE PICTURES OF PENNY DOING CHEMISTRY.

Cuddles: I haven’t been getting enough screen time. I’m trying to remedy that.
Whatever Chip. Don’t strain yourself too hard there. With that face, it looks like you’re constipated or something.

The pool animations are pretty cute. I can’t believe I’ve never messed around with one before!
(I mean, I had one… but, you know, it was just for killing sims XD).

This is the life of Chip Derpington. Pump iron. Moodlet Manager. Go to school. Pump iron. Repeat.

Cleo came to visit the first night the family spent in the new hood!

Just a shot of the sky, because Lunar Lakes is purdy at night.

Herp stopped by too! Hi Herp!
Herp: Where are we? On the moon? Oh well, I suppose stranger things have happened in legacies. At least I wasn’t moved to Starlight Shores!

Cuddles has started his garden back up. And also, I can’t get that damned sprinkler to turn off. *eyetwitch*

Oh, how neat. They’ve got a pond right across the street! Makes for easy fishing!

Oh, and this happened. Apparently, they’re serious.

Not the best place to do your homework, Peaches, but I won’t judge you. Chip might, but I won’t.

Somebody (Used Napkin) was playing astronaut. Not that I think it’s necessary when you already live on an alien planet, but who am I to smash a kid’s dream?

Dutchman has taken up the bad habit of playing computer games into the wee hours of the morning.
GPOY, no?

Just then, I’m pulled over to Used Napkin. It’s birthday time!

Huh. Alright then.

Since they’re twins, Dutchman has to grow up too.

Okay! Now for makeovers!

Used Napkin.

NO HORSES. TOO MUCH WORK. MAYBE LATER.

It’s too dark to tell, but she’s really adorable.

And this is what Dutchman looks like in her normal sim form.

Oh well, there are worse traits…

She adorable too. ❤ I love our little ghostly heir.

Cuddles: (Damn, Dutchman got hot. How to play this cool…)

Cuddles: (Time to make my move)

Dutchman: Just what do you think you’re doing?!
Cuddles: Um, er, well, you had… a bug on you! Yeah! I was just getting it off.

Dutchman: I’ll take care of it next time, thanks.

Cuddles: (Huh. In my head that went a lot smoother.)

You can almost taste the awkward.

Dutchman: You know, Cuddles, I’m not buying your tough guy act. I think that deep down… WAAAAAY deep down, you’re probably a nice guy.

Dutchman: And you don’t have to “play it cool” to get me to like you.
Cuddles: Really? What do I need to do, then?

Dutchman: Just be yourself.
IF: *creeping hard*

Cuddles: I think I can manage that.
IF: *Still creeping*

CUDDLES. HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!?!?! SHE’S BARELY A TEEN AND YOU’RE ALMOST AN ADULT!!!

I’M SO ASHAMED. I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT –

Oh. Hello there, you two. Sorry to disturb you.

They’ll be adults tomorrow anyway. They can autonomously woohoo all they want.

D’AWWWWWW. Dutchman x Cuddles 5eva (dat mean moar dan 4eva).

First kiss tiemz. 😀

They both look so pleased. So cute. ;_;

Meanwhile, Used Napkin and Rags were getting some (well, as much as you can get when you have an imaginary boyfriend).

Oh well. We’ll make him real soon.

So this is what the school looks like…

Across the way, Pat was wandering around too.
Pat: I’m hiding from Wumbo. She’s trying to kill me for dating her sister.

Wow, that was the quickest school day ever. XD

Oh Gods, the busses are crazy on this planet, too.

Cuddles: So, Dutchman, instead of us getting on that death-trap of a bus, how about we go out on a date?

Dutchman: I’d like that!

I’ve got a better idea than that, Dutchman…

They headed off to one of the parks, I think this one was the Hidden Springs themed one.

So romantic. ;_;

You ruined it for me with that smug expression, Cuddles.
Cuddles: (I’m totes about to get some.)

My new OTP. ❤ ❤ ❤

Cousin Goopy decided he would be creepy and watch the young couple from across the park. I think he misses his wife from Legacy Island. It’s okay Goopy, you’ll bounce back. *pat pat*

At home, the rest of the siblings were doing much less interesting things.

OH well, at least they’re cute.

Goober got left at school (lol), so when I figured out she was missing, I had her ride the bike home. I certainly wasn’t going to ask the homicidal bus driver to bring her.

This is constant with them. Cuddle – kiss – makeout.

Except for this. This is new. :S

CUDDLES. HOW DARE YOU DEFLOWER THE HEIR. AJFLKSADJLKGKGHGHSA;LFJSDLFK.

Penny: Well, this is awkward. I won’t tell Chip his best friend and baby sister did it in his bed if you don’t.
Dutchman and Cuddles: Deal.

There are so many cute couples in this house, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite.

Just look at the adoration there. If they end up breaking up because of story progression, I’ll be very upset.

Congrats to Chip!

Hi Chip! Haven’t seen you in a while.

Oh noes! My babies are growing up. *sobs*

IT’S A LEEDLE CLONE.

I don’t know why he always grows up into Leedle’s hair, but this has got to stop, Chip.

Cuddles’ turn.

DAT FACE.
This kid cracks the best faces ever.

WOOO! I love neat sims.

SO. MANY. BIRTHDAYS.

Everybody got makeovers after that, but I’m going to end this chapter with a picture of Cuddles. He seems to really enjoy playing the piano recently. *shrug*
What will the makeovers look like? Will cousin Goopy ever find love? How am I going to deal with so many sims in one house?

All this and more, next time on Herping and Derping. Until then, everybody, happy simming, and hopefully you don’t have crazy insane computer problems like me!
