Holy Whacked Genetics, Batman!

orikesSo, after stressing about the missing Pseudo chapter, I realized the problem might have been a shot in that update of a nekkid Kyle's backside as he's getting into a hot tub. I left it uncensored because he's in the distance and it's just a backside. That's the ONLY thing I can think of being a problem in that update, though. The rest of it is all mostly sappy relationship or other transitional type of stuff.
With realizing that backside might have been a problem, I quickly started worrying about Day Two. The last thing I wanted to do was to get that taken down because of Lancelot's butt. So, with much regret, I went in and put a pixelated censor over his backside. It takes away some of the funny, but at least it won't get taken down now.
Updating that story required that I spend some time in the Picaso house. For the heck of it, I decided to play them for a little while. When last I played the placeholders in the neighborhood, I was causing a soap opera to happen between many of the Maxis-made sims. Trisha Traveler started having an affair with Julien Cooke. When Trent found out, she left him and moved in with Julien. Heartbroken, Trent finally returned the advances of Jessica Picaso. Jessica is a very cold family sim who prefers Trent's ample brainpower to her doofy husband's constant parade of work friends (she's got three bolts for Trent compared to one for her hubby). Together, Jessica and Trent had a quick and dirty affair in the photobooth at Crypt o'Night.
Of course, in any good soap opera, there are consequences for these actions...
The consequence for these actions turned out to be Frida Picaso. I was hoping for a blond baby and was rewarded. No hidden hair colors there. Her features are definitely a little wonky, but it's possible she may grow into them. Trent and Jessica aren't bad looking sims even if they're a little odd. But then I noticed.. what's that on the side of her head?
WTF!?!? ELF EARS!?!? Where the hell did those come from?
I doubel and triple checked. Neither Jessica or Trent are expressing elf ears. I even changed their hair styles to be sure, just in case something was hiding. Nope. Both have normal looking ears. But out of the blue, this little love child ends up with elf ears!?
Has anyone else had random elf ears pop up? Does anyone even know how to check SimPE to see if it shows recessive elf ears?!?
Since I had to play the house for a few days to get through the rest of Jessica's pregnancy and wait to see what Frida looked like, I ended up fulfilling one of little Georgia's wants.
Meet Pollock.
I really crack myself up sometimes. Hopefully someone besides me actually gets the joke.
In all the time since I've had Pets, I don't think I've ever had a cat and a bird in the same house. I never knew they would do this. The Picasos don't own Kobe here, but I had Matthew greet him just in case he fulfilled the 'Meet Someone New' want. He doesn't. BUT.. he does like to terrorize the bird who squaks and sheds feathers everywhere as the cat watches him menacingly.
I kept wondering what comedy gold might lie in letting the bird out of his cage...
Eventually, I did fulfill that 'Meet Someone New' want with SimNerd here, who happened to be a walk-by. Ahbjeet there was a work friend.
"Thanks Ori. Thanks a lot. Not only did you put me in their contact list, you also infected me with a broken Chess Arm. Next you're going to start showing off pictures of me heartfarting everyone."
None of those. Yet. :)
I'm still hoping that things work out okay for the missing chapter. I've got a message on the bbs and guest book signings in to a Maxoid and a SimMaster (thanks Jenn for pointing me towards an active one).
Cross your fingers for me.
