The Shibatas: Round 6 / True Love

When we last visited the Shibatas, they had just moved into this new house.  At the time they had a toddler daughter name Honey and they were both pregnant.  They each gave birth shortly thereafter.  Ravi had an Alien daughter named Desire, and Kimberly gave birth to twins, Adore and Cherish. 



And so here are the Shibatas at the beginning of Round 6.  The year is 2020.

Ravi Shibata, 40, Adult Romance, LTW: Marry Off 6 Children

Kimberly (Tucker) Shibata, 46, Adult Romance, LTW: Professional Party Guest

Honey Shibata, almost 11

Desire Shibata, 6

Adore Shibata, 4

Cherish Shibata, 4

Photobucket

The first order of business was to get Honey and Desire into private school.

Photobucket

Fortunately, they had no trouble at all. The Headmaster, Barry Terminal, found the food, tour and schmoozing to be more than adequate. 

Photobucket

Ravi loves stargazing, but he's a really popular guy with the aliens.  In the last update, they had come and abducted him again.

Photobucket

And it now it looks like their family is definitely about to get a little larger, as he's wearing the telltale t-shirt.

Photobucket

Ravi looks on as Honey becomes his first teenage daughter.  With 4 girls already, his hair is sure to soon turn grey. According to Time Reckoning, Honey will turn 18 in 2027, which is the first "day" of Round 7.

Photobucket

Honey wants to devote her life to fun as a Pleasure Sim.  She's attracted to formalwear and good cooking, so I assume they would need to also wear an apron.  She doesn't like people with a lot of charisma.  I assume politicians are not her type.  I can totally understand that.

Photobucket

Honey wants to have 6 grandchildren. I guess it makes sense since she has Family as her secondary apsiration.  I may have to have her reroll, as I don't want to overpopulate Apple Grove too much.

Photobucket

It's so funny that flamingos are considered garbage.  I love to keep them in the yards for a quick gain of fun with macrotastics when sims kick them, but forget to hide them when the garden club comes over. 

Photobucket

Thankfully, Ravi still made it into the garden club with no problem and he even earned the coveted wishing well. 

Photobucket

Honey wasted no time making a wish to get her first kiss with this boy, Stephen Dalton.

Photobucket

Naked, and in the smallest possible place, Ravi gave birth while in the shower.  This kind of thing is what usually happens to my sims when they give birth.

Photobucket

And he was in for quite a surprise, as he not only had twins again, but he now has 6 girls.  Also, True and Love are aliens, but look completely human.  Unfortunately, there is still no male heir.  They may have to try adoption once the older girls leave for college.  The Hamiltons had the same problem, and finally adopted their son George who became the heir.

Photobucket

I have no idea which twin girl this is, but Kimberly tried to take her to work.

Photobucket

Ravi finally reached the top of the Culinary career track as a Celebrity Chef.

Photobucket

Desire stood in the same spot as Honey as she celebrated her11th birthday.  She has always tried to do everything the same as her big sister Honey.  Thankfully, they are now friends despite Desire's obsession with copying her big sister.  I guess Honey finally understands that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Photobucket

Desire wants to be a Family Sim.  Her secondary aspiration is Romance.  She's attracted to formalwear and makeup, but doesn't find glasses attractive.

Photobucket

Not again, Desire!  Don't copy this Lifetime Want!  All these teens are conspiring to make Apple Grove HUGE.  I don't think they ever want me to finish the Prosperity Challenge.  Thank goodness for college and a chance to reroll.

Photobucket

Since Desire's into Romance, she is in a hurry to get her first kiss.  The guy with the mohawk is Magnus Danaher.

Photobucket

True grew into a toddler in the mummy costume.

Photobucket

Love grew up to toddler, and clung to her dad.  He almost took her on vacation with them, but they had their butler Adrian Andrews stay home with the twins.

Photobucket

They went and did all the usual stuff on vacation, including chasing the ninja around town to try to get him to teach them to teleport.

Photobucket

The matchmaker followed them all the way to Takemizu Village to bring them a lamp.

Photobucket

It's weird that the lamp can be delivered to them while on vacation, but can't be used there.

Photobucket

And as we are leaving the Shibata house, they get the potty glitch.  True is sitting inside Kimberly instead of on the potty.

Photobucket

As we leave the Shibatas, 7 years have now passed, and it's 2026. Here is an updated family tree.

Scoring:  +4 Ravi, Kimberly, Honey, Desire - Nature, +2 for adding True and Love to the neighborhood, +1 Ravi - top of Culinary career.  The population of Apple Grove is currently 69, with a total population of 72.

The hood is growing like weeds! (Can you say that? - Well, I did!)

Twoflower said...

Yes, this family is especially prolific. Since Ravi wants to marry off 6 kids, it was inevitable that they would have a big family. Was it too much to ask that just one of those could have been a boy? ;)

SK said...

Geez, you'd think either Ravi or the celestial PT would have SOME Y-chromosomes floating around between them! I hate having to adopt to get a male heir, so I'll cross my fingers that if they try again, you'll get a biological male heir.

Twoflower said...

SK, they are pretty much out of time, but I think I may let Kimberley have a sip of green juice for one last try at a human boy. ;)

Liz said...

It looks like maybe Ravi's pregnancy glitched out... I had that one time with a multi-pt and pregnancy for all hack conflict and both of the "alien" kids came out as complete clones of their father. Good luck on getting a boy if you let them have another try!

Twoflower said...

Thanks, Liz! I do hope they can get a boy of their own. I have a multi-PT hack too, so that could have been the problem. I don't know if they're clones of Ravi. How do you know for sure?

Liz said...

I didnt know until they grew up and looked just like their father (and had the same personality), who has a very distinct look. I just picked one of my Multi-PT's randomly and made a clone of the PT and the sim in a test hood... then used the resulting offspring to do sim surgery on the toddlers with SimPE.

Did you close your game between him getting pregnant and delivering? that's when it happened to me.

Twoflower said...

Liz, it's been a long time since I played, so I don't remember that much about it. ;) What I do remember was that he tried to give birth in the shower, and there was a glitch, but in the thumbnails there were 2 baby girls that were human-looking. I exited without saving and tried again. This time he also had 2 baby girls, but the game was okay the second time. There was really no discernible difference the second time around in the way the babies looked. True and Love do look a lot alike. I guess I will try giving them the exact same hairstyle and brows the next time I play and see if I can tell them apart. ;)

The new twins are adorable...even if they don't show any of their alien side. Honey is VERY pretty and Desire is so cute copying her sister. It's funny how that works sometimes. I also LOVE their house, it's beautiful!

Twoflower said...

Thanks, ciyrose! :) I really love the Shibata family. I'm just hoping to get a male heir somehow.
