Drama


The latest developments in the Polly Experiment house have been INTENSE. Polly and Benjamin have both moved on to their Elder years. Benjamin retired from his job as "Celebrity Chef" and is collecting a pension. Twins Rupert and Roland, along with little sisters Penny and Priscilla are all Teens. Oldest twins Herbert and Peggy are adults now. Herbert is a criminal investigator looking for a wife. And Peggy is in the Military track, and she is a slut. Yeah, I said it. She always has "WooHoo" in her wants. And this is where it gets tricky. You see, a long time ago, before Alex Sim (not to be confused with my actual human being husband, Alex) had the little fire mishap, he cultivated a relationship with Polly. They had the hots for each other, but never once was Polly unfaithful to Benjamin, for the record. They just had a deep spiritual understanding of each other. In a Sim kind of way.

So as it happens, Alex Sim has been a family friend forever. And befriended all of the Experiment children. Eventually, Peggy grows up, and decides that she really needs to sleep with Alex Sim. Keep in mind that Alex Sim has been in suspended time all the while we haven't been playing his household. Sims only age when you are in their house playing with that family. He and Peggy are the same age now.

To set the scene: a party at the Experiment house. Everyone in the family is entertaining a friend, watching television, eating, swimming, or something downstairs. Peggy slips away with Alex Sim. Things happen. Suddenly, Polly storms in with a flaming thought bubble of first Alex Sim and then Peggy. She is furious! (Which is represented by a red haze over the offending party's icon in her friends inventory). She slaps Alex Sim repeatedly, but he moves on and rejoins the party. However, I could not get her to stop slapping her daughter, which would then result in both of them crying. I tried to manage her movements, make her talk to someone else, bathe, eat, whatever, but she would get distracted and fight some more.

Ultimately, I had to move Peggy out of the household. Slowly, the furious red dissolves and they can be friends again, but it was about time for the eldest daughter to move out anyway I think.

Also, the household I moved her into to get her away from her angry mother? Alex Sim's.
