The Timbersons: Chapter 23

Screenshot-2613

The next day, it was Daphne’s birthday. Shockingly, she chose to spend it with her family instead of some random guys from school.

Screenshot-2618

Screenshot-2620

And this is what she looks like. She didn’t really inherit much genetics from her parents. Her lifetime wish is to become a Heartbreaker.

Screenshot-2622

She got a job in politics. Even if she wanted to just meet guys, she wanted success too.

Screenshot-2625Screenshot-2626Screenshot-2624

And apparently, politics was a great conversation starter. By the way, the guy she’s talking to is her boss. And his name is Ben Staples, I think.

DAPHNE, that guy is an ELDER! YOUR FAMILY’S ALREADY RICH! YOU COULD DO WAY BETTER THAN HIM!

Screenshot-2629

Screenshot-2630

I don’t like where this is going….

Screenshot-2634

DAPH! You’re barely a young adult!

Screenshot-2635

Sick smile

Screenshot-2640

Meanwhile, Eva was enjoying age appropriate things, unlike Daphne.

Screenshot-2642

At least she’s not dreaming of Ben.Screenshot-2643

Screenshot-2644

Yes! She’s finding other guys!Screenshot-2651

Looks like Eva’s keeping an eye on the prize.

Screenshot-2653

Candace and Cassie were staying fit by playing catch, instead of going to the gym or something. What’s with this chapter and inappropriate age activities?

Screenshot-2654

Eric began to train Vaughn, because there’s no better way to spend quality time with your father-in-law!

Screenshot-2658

Eva loved the playground. Then again, in a house with four elders, who could blame her?

Screenshot-2659

Alice cameo!

Screenshot-2660

And some other ghosts!

Screenshot-2662

Daphne continued to improve her conversation skills.

,

I’m beginning to think Eva’s the only kid in Riverview.

Screenshot-2664

The family threw a pool party, but it didn’t end well…

Screenshot-2665

Screenshot-2666Screenshot-2667Screenshot-2668

RIP Alysia or Sharon, or … someone.

Screenshot-2670

Eva continued to relax in her chair. Eva, you are aware that someone just died, right?

Screenshot-2672

The next day, Vaughn began repairing electronics. Hey, it’s the circle of life. And if you needed a slot, you’d do the same.Screenshot-2674Screenshot-2675

Daphne kept on meeting guys, but she didn’t find anyone she liked. Some people were aware of her gold digging ways. And does anyone else notice the elder in the blue dress in both pictures?

Screenshot-2676

Daphne, we went over this, didn’t we? No elders unless you’re married to them!

Screenshot-2677

Eva dreamt about police sirens and not much else.

Screenshot-2680Screenshot-2679

DAPHNE! THAT’S A GHOST! Screenshot-2683

Do you want to be known as “The other woman”, Daphne? Screenshot-2686

You had it coming, Daphne.

Screenshot-2688

Screenshot-2687Screenshot-2689

Daria began to become suspicious of Eric, for obvious reasons.

Screenshot-2691

Candace consoled her mourning relative (Whose name still escapes me).

Screenshot-2692

And then she had an autograph session. Okay, so maybe I’ve been harsh on Daphne. After all, almost everyone here’s an elder! Maybe Riverview is the Sims 3 equivalent of Florida?

Screenshot-2693

Eric was promoted in the sports career.Screenshot-2694

Daria and Candace sometimes teamed up for autograph sessions and performances. It looks like Daria’s becoming more popular than Candace? Then again, she’s a classical artist, and everyone’s an elder so… yeah.

Screenshot-2696

And here’s Eva practicing her cooking.

Screenshot-2699

Candace decided to learn new songs, even if she was at the top of her career.

Screenshot-2708

Ghost!Alice wasn’t impressed with Daphne.

Screenshot-2710

Poor Eva, always getting ignored. But hey, at least she has a floating bookshelf to accompany her!

Screenshot-2713

Daphne had dreams of succeeding in office. Looks like there’s some hope for her. Unless she’s dreaming of marrying a president…

Screenshot-2715

Again, poor Eva is getting ignored by her family. Luckily, she has random ghost relatives to spend time with.

Screenshot-2725

And because the skinniness of the elders bothered me, I tried to experiment by fattening them up indulging them in ice cream.

Screenshot-2727Screenshot-2728

Unfortunately, Candace just looked pregnant.

Screenshot-2731

So then Erich trained Candace so she could lose weight.

Screenshot-2736

Do you remember her? It’s the girl Vaughn trained a few chapters ago, Lorena. Daphne clearly knows how to keep her attention.

Daphne: My Uncle saved you from looking like flies! Rotting flies, too!

Screenshot-2739

Eva and Erich had a bonding moment.

Screenshot-2740

Gasp! Erich’s out on a date with a tan girl! Does Daria know about this?

Screenshot-2741

Nope. It’s just Eva.

…I apologize for the unintended incest-y joke. Smile with tongue out

Speaking of father-daughter bonding…

Screenshot-2742

Screenshot-2745Screenshot-2746

Meanwhile, Daphne was out making friends. Screenshot-2747Screenshot-2748Screenshot-2749

Actually, no. Daphne was too snobby for friends. Unless if they came with benefits.

Screenshot-2753

I decided to give Eva a makeover. Pretty, yes? She looks like a super young Tyra banks. Well, just the hair, skin and eyes.

But where did that nose come from?

Screenshot-2754

I guess Candace’s old habits never changed.

Screenshot-2756

Since Daphne was growing older, she started thinking about babies.

Screenshot-2759

Yes, she did go there.

WITH HIM? DAPHNE! WHAT DID CANDACE GIVE YOU?

Darich spam

Screenshot-2757Screenshot-2758

This would be cuter if they weren’t in their work uniforms.  And if there wasn’t a plumbob in the background.

Screenshot-2760Screenshot-2761

Thankfully, Daphne got a little more age appropriate.

Screenshot-2762Screenshot-2763Screenshot-2764

Screenshot-2765

Eva finally started getting some attention from her Grandmother.

Screenshot-2766

However, Candace left and Eva was alone. Maybe Daria will do something?

Screenshot-2767

Candace left her grandmother duties for her nephew. Why is Candace wearing pajamas and slippers in someone else’s house?

Candace, honey, make sure you know when to stop drinking.

Screenshot-2768

Candace then started to train Devon.

Corey didn’t even bother greeting Candace. I’d be pissed too, if my sisters got to stay in the house they grew up in and I had to live in a crappy, secluded house. xD

Screenshot-2769

As a result of neglect, Eva decided to play some computer games.

Screenshot-2770

Grandpa Vaughn decided to teach Eva what’s important in life: diamonds, wealth and fame.

Screenshot-2771

That speech, along with Eva’s evilness, decided to make Eva a Criminal Mastermind.

Screenshot-2772

Speaking of careers, Daphne was pissed off that she had to wear such an ugly outfit to work.

Yes Daphne. I’m sure you could get more votes if you wore other outfits…

Screenshot-2773

Why does Daphne always attract cradle robbers?

Screenshot-2776Screenshot-2775

Screenshot-2777Screenshot-2778Screenshot-2779

Seriously, it’s not like she needs him for the money. You’re a fourth generation legacy heiress, Daphne!

At least he (I’m just gonna call all of her boyfriends ‘Ben’ from now on) felt good about their date.

Screenshot-2780

Ohhhh, now I get it. Daphne just wanted to finish her LTW.

Screenshot-2781

Daphne! No! You just redeemed yourself in the last picture! Don’t ruin it again!

At least he’s not actually sleeping with her.

Screenshot-2784

Daphne: I, Daphne Timberson, would like you to know…

Screenshot-2785

that I will never spend another night with someone as

Screenshot-2786

rotten as a garbage bag

Screenshot-2789

even if it means breaking your heart!

Geez Daphne, don’t hold back.

Screenshot-2792

Operation break up complete.

Screenshot-2791

I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that Daphne could keep downgrading her men, or the fact that he’s allegedly an athlete.

Screenshot-2794

Ooh, who’s the mystery shirtless protestor?

Screenshot-2795

Apparently, Daphne’s new boyfriend.

Screenshot-2800

Way to snag a man right in front of your job building, Daphne.

Screenshot-2803Screenshot-2801Screenshot-2802

 

Screenshot-2804Screenshot-2805Screenshot-2806

Unfortunately, Cassie passed on. Candace was very depressed that she lost her sister.

Screenshot-2810

But it’s not like that stopped Daria and Erich from flirting.

Screenshot-2813

Screenshot-2817

Screenshot-2819

The first death of the third generation. Sad smile 

Screenshot-2820

Nikolas was sleeping when he found out about Cassie’s death.

And apparently, Daphne used telekinesis to find out about her mom.

Screenshot-2821

This made her and Ben #2 fight. Ben #2 was secretly amused.

Screenshot-2823

Daphne: How dare you sext me pictures of yourself! On my FaceSpace wall? Seriously? I mean, they were nice and all but I work for the gover-

B#2: What pictures?

Daphne: Oh oops, sorry. Wrong guy. Hehe.

Screenshot-2822

Things obviously didn’t end well for them.

Screenshot-2826

Over at the house, people weren’t taking Cassie’s death so well.

Screenshot-2828

Even Eva, who didn’t bond much with her great aunt, felt sad.

Screenshot-2829

And she got a spot in the Family Cemetery.

Screenshot-2830

Daphne still moved fast, though. This time, she looked for prey boyfriends in the Riverview pool.

Screenshot-2832

Her father, though, was understandably sad.

Screenshot-2835

And looks like Daphne remembered again.

Screenshot-2838

And Candace returned to an old time habit.

Screenshot-2841

Even a new makeover wouldn’t cheer her up.

Screenshot-2846

In other news, Corey also passed on.

Screenshot-2852

Workaholic Nikolas decided to retire.

Screenshot-2856

Birthday time!

Screenshot-2858Screenshot-2859Screenshot-2860

Screenshot-2861Screenshot-2862

 

 

But let’s interrupt this moment with a special Cassolas moment:

Screenshot-2864Screenshot-2865Screenshot-2866

Yeah, Cassie came back because the whole house wouldn’t function without her.

And for a cliffhanger moment, I’ll save Eva’s teen picture for the next chapter. Smile with tongue out That, and I’m pretty sure this chapter is too long already. My Windows Live Writer was crashing for the last few pictures.
