Previously on The Oceanside Project: Landgraab and Moneywell...

Saturday, Day Six

Landgraab

Landgraab 006

Malcolm Landgraab, X wakes up early to make breakfast for himself and his lovely fiancee Vivian Moneywell. Today marks the day that their first child will be born.

Landgraab 012

The pregnancy hasn't been too difficult for Vivian but her tolerance for Malcolm's more unsightly manners are at an all-time low.

Landgraab 015

Since I revised my rules Malcolm no longer has the sports car from before. He has to schlep his way to work in the hoopty like every other Average Joe.

Landgraab 017

Vivian, tired of being pregnant for so long, heads in for a nap while Malcolm heads to work.

Landgraab 023

Landgraab 025

Landgraab 028

After Vivian's nap Dr. Minka Yomoshoto stops by to check on her favorite patient.

Landgraab 037

After a completely thorough exam Minka determines that the baby is in excellent health and not cursed at all! Little baby Landgraab is due within the hour.

Landgraab 040

Before Vivian can even finish her fruit parfait the contractions start.

Landgraab 064

Landgraab 072

Gwyneth Landgraab is the spitting image of her father with brown hair, tan skin and dark blue eyes.

Landgraab 075

After Gwyneth is cleaned up and dressed in her expensive finery, Vivian gives her new baby girl all of her love.

Landgraab 079

Something has Minka deeply worried and upset. I don't know what it could be? Is something wrong with the baby? Are you worried Viv won't pay your doctor's fee?

Landgraab 024

Oh, I see. Brodie Mason, your boyfriend's baby mama, is here.
Brodie: *judges the weeds*

Landgraab 085

Minka knows that Brodie and Kendrick have been woohooing all over town. Showing that she's the bigger sim, Minka congratulates Brodie on the birth of her little girl, Aria.

Landgraab 086

Minka: *leaves thinking that went well*
Brodie: *leaves thinking Minka's a mug*

Landgraab 091

Woot! Oceanside's economy is going strong.

Landgraab 094

Landgraab 095

Viv's workout room is magically transformed into a nursery fit for a Landgraab heiress.

Landgraab 099

Landgraab 102

Since this was Brodie's THIRD TIME loitering around the house, Vivian went out to invite her in for dinner.

Landgraab 106

Vivian: *hopes Brodie and Minka can get along*
Minka: What the fuck is she doing in my bestie's house?

Landgraab 109

Minka wasn't too thrilled that Vivian invited Brodie in and left abruptly. *sigh*

Landgraab 113

Landgraab 111

Malcolm is not living up to his Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist title at all.

Landgraab 114

Vivian starts preparing Mac & Cheese for dinner when tragedy strikes!

Landgraab 116

Vivian has had to put out many a fire, but the smoke and flames from this one were almost too much to bear.

Landgraab 124

Luckily, after a valiant fight, Viv saves everyone in the house from dying a fiery death.

Landgraab 122

Malcolm: Dinner sure is taking a long time.
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP MALCOLM LANDGRAAB!!

Landgraab 129

Angie Killeen, former Arts & Crafts hobby enthusiast turned Nanny, stops by to chat with Malcolm and Vivian and meet her new ward Gwyneth.

Landgraab 131

And luck would have it Selena Firestone, future teacher, also stops by to meet the newest Landgraab.

Landgraab 137

Malcolm: Ugh, did she set this stuff on fire?
You are a tool Malcolm Landgraab.

Landgraab 140

Angie and Selena hit it off right away. Angie asks Selena if she would be able to help out at the Day Care sometimes. With so many babies in the neighborhood Angie will definitely need all of the help she can get.

Landgraab 141

Malcolm: They're totally going to make out...
Shut up Malcolm Landgraab!

Landgraab 142

Malcolm meets his little girl for the first time. He thinks she's absolutely the most perfect creature in the world!

Landgraab 144

The problem with Angie Killeen #1: Whenever there is booze around Angie will find it. And drink it.

Landgraab 148

Malcolm introduces Gwyneth to her throne which quickly turns the lovely Princess Gwyneth into evil King Joffrey. Why leave Gwyn in the throne...?

Landgraab 151

Ohhhh. That's why...

Landgraab 153

WTF VIVIAN! What about your dream wedding? We've already postponed it once. You're ideal family size is not even set for more kids!

tumblr_mosir6R89p1s6iro9o1_500

Landgraab 157

*chimes*
GRRRRRR....

Landgraab 161

While her parents have sexy times, Gwyneth becomes accosted by baby-eating flies! Who will save the fair maiden seeing as her parents are under the spell of an after-woohoo deep sleep?

Landgraab 162

Lady Angie to the rescue!

Landgraab 163

Angie changes Gwyn's diaper, sticks her in this torture device and then leaves her alone for the rest of the night. Good luck on staying alive by yourself Gwyneth!

Sunday, Day Seven

Landgraab 001

The problem with Angie Killeen #2: If you leave booze out Angie will drink it all until it's gone.

Landgraab 004

Vivian awakens early and rescues Gwyneth from the Dangle Monster.

Landgraab 007

And lays her down to sleep.

Landgraab 011

Morning sickness again. Vivian knows what this means. This is terrible. She was not expecting to have another baby so soon!

Landgraab 014

Before heading back to bed Vivian decides that she needs to speed up the Wedding planning. She needs to become Mrs. Malcolm Landgraab, X before she starts to show. She needs to get married TODAY!

Landgraab 016

Landgraab 018

Gwyn's a little grumpy cat again.

Landgraab 024

Viv is, surprisingly, a good mom. She's on the ball when it comes to feeding and cuddling little Gwyneth.

Landgraab 027

Since Vivian has decreed that they will be married today and Malcolm is supposed to go to work, Malcolm calls in sick.
Malcolm: I... feel... so... faint. I don't think I can... go on...

Landgraab 032

You are a great actor Malcolm.

Landgraab 033

Vivian: Mommy's getting married today! You will be a bastard no longer!
Great conversation to have with a baby Vivian.

Landgraab 038

Malcolm messily makes breakfast and invites the wedding party over so they can get ready and leave for the church together.

Landgraab 046

The wedding party consists of Malcolm's bestie Owen Goodacre and Vivian's bestie Matisse Troubadour. Angie is not invited to the wedding because she has to watch little Gwyneth. Speaking of which...

Landgraab 047

No! The flies are after her again! Maybe this is the curse Calista put on the baby, that she will be devoured by flesh-eating flies in her sleep!

Landgraab 052

The wedding party change into their finery. Vivian wanted a fairytale wedding and that is what she will get, right down to Malcolm dressed as a prince and herself dressed as a swan princess.

Landgraab 053

Vivian thinks how handsome Owen looks when he's out of his hoe-down attire.

Landgraab 058

Malcolm tells Vivian how beautiful she looks in her gown and tiara. He's feels so blessed to have her in his life.

Landgraab 062

The wedding will take place at the newly built Our Gray Lady of Plumbobs Peteran Church owned by Owen's wife Becca Goodacre. Even though Vivian is a Jacoban she is fine to be wed in the Peteran church. At least it's a church!

Landgraab 068

Note: The wedding will be up in a separate post.

Landgraab 234

As the wedding party leaves Angie proves that she's the best Nanny in the world by doing chores around the house while Gwyneth sleeps. She composts the newspapers...

Landgraab 236

She mops the floors...

Landgraab 241

She cleans the stove-top...

Landgraab 245

She even takes care of the baby! I guess we will overlook her whole drinking problem then.

Landgraab 242

Landgraab 255

Landgraab 261

The newlyweds soon return after a night of celebrating.

Landgraab 263

Angie desperately tries to get rid of the cursed flies by plying the baby with more food. It doesn't work.

Landgraab 265

The new Mrs. Landgraab heads straight to bed. She's had a long, fun night!

Landgraab 266

Landgraab 267

Landgraab 268

Not only did Matisse have an awesome time at the wedding, Malcolm also gained a body skill point. Score!

Landgraab 269

Angie puts the fly-free baby Gwyneth down for the night.

Landgraab 275

Even though Matisse is giving mad attitude she looks very elegant in her gown and gloves.

Landgraab 281

Owen looks for Malcolm who he knows will appreciate his weird sense of humor.

Landgraab 283

Malcolm: You are the funniest sim in the world! lololololololllllll.

Landgraab 289

Owen: You know what else is funny? TICKLES!
Malcolm: HAHAHAHAHA! STOP I'M GOING TO PEE MY JAMMIES!

Landgraab 291

Malcolm: I love you, Bro. *tear*
Owen: I love you, Bro. *more tears*

Landgraab 288

Matisse: Get a room. Ugh, they're worse than girls.

Monday, Day Eight

Landgraab 002

Vivian begins the day with an early morning *pop*

Landgraab 011

and woohoo with the hubby.

Landgraab 019

Owen and Matisse are still hanging out in the hot tub. Malcolm joins them after saying good morning to Viv.

Landgraab 020

Landgraab 024

Landgraab 026

Construction on her bank is complete. Vivian buys the Oceanside Bank & Loan, the first bank in Oceanside!

Landgraab 030

Landgraab 032

Little Gwyneth screams bloody murder and Vivian is there to feed and comfort her again. Good job Viv!

Landgraab 037

Landgraab 038

Vivian brings Gwyneth downstairs and makes breakfast for herself. Today is Malcolm's day off so Viv will stop by the bank while he takes care of the baby.

Landgraab 047

dawwwwwwww!!!!!

Landgraab 051

Malcolm spends some time bonding with Gwynie and then puts her down for her nap.

Landgraab 056

And joins his lady love in a morning snuggle.

Landgraab 058

Landgraab 074

Soon it's time for Vivian to go to the bank and open up for it's first day of business. (Don't mind Matisse in the back there. She's just climbing a tree. No big.)

Landgraab 076

The Oceanside Bank & Loan is right next door to Goodacre's Grocery Store on Landgraab Avenue right behind the Post Office and the newly built Fire Station.

Landgraab 077

The front lobby has seating and two ATM machines.

Landgraab 079

Landgraab 080

The Vault is where Vivian sells... money! At expensive prices.

Landgraab 081

Upstairs is Viv's private office where she can bring customers to talk about loans and where she prints the simoleons that are in circulation in Oceanside.

Landgraab 083

The cash register area has an espresso machine and a mini fridge to keep Vivian from starving while working. Vivian is super proud of her little bank!

Landgraab 089

The first customers of the day are Garden Clubber Rocky Kotsomiti, architect Fitz Biltmore, and dancer/journalist Diego Bossanova. I think Rocky is not impressed because the bank isn't decorated in his favorite color pink.

Landgraab 093

Viv tries to win Fitz over with her selling techniques. She knows he's attracted to her so she uses her feminine wiles to her advantage.

Landgraab 099

Rocky however wants nothing of her flirty ways. Besides, Rocky can flip his hair better than you can.

Landgraab 104

Fitz finds a tip jar that he can afford and becomes Vivian's first paying customer!

Landgraab 107

Vivian is very good at math but pushing buttons isn't her strong suit.

Landgraab 115

Fitz is very patient however. He's such a sweetie!

Landgraab 116

Woot!

Landgraab 120

Viv tries again with Fabio, I mean Rocky, but still no cigar.

Landgraab 124

Diego would love to invest in some simoleons but he's super poor. He congratulates Vivian on opening the bank and hopes she'll be very successful.

Landgraab 134

Soon it's time to close up shop. Fitz was Vivian's only paying customer, but that's OK. It's not like Vivian doesn't have money coming out of her ass.

Landgraab 135

Back at Landgraab Condo...

Landgraab 137

Matisse finally leaves! You have a baby at home missy, or did you forget?

Landgraab 141

While Malcolm is out getting the mail in his chonies, Becca Goodacre stops by.

Landgraab 144

Malcolm is concerned with the safety of Oceanside's residents. He especially thinks it should be mandatory to have fire alarms in every household now that there is a fire service. Becca however believes that sims should leave it up to the Watcher if they die in a fire or not and is vehemently against fire alarms. Thank goodness she's not a politician.

Landgraab 147

Malcolm catches the baby-eating flies affliction just in time and changes Gwyneth's diaper.

Landgraab 151

Malcolm then gives Gwyneth her first bath in the kitchen sink...

Landgraab 153

and feeds her. See, he can be a good daddy too :)

Landgraab 155

Landgraab 158

Malcolm can't believe his little one will transition tomorrow and another one is on the way!

Landgraab 163

Becca must have felt bad after the argument she had with Malcolm. She decided to trim all of his bushes and pull his weeds. You are a powerful sim Malcolm Landgraab.

Landgraab 166

Diego stops by, presumably after visiting the bank. He's concerned about the upcoming winter in Oceanside. Will it be cold? Will there be snow? Are the White Walkers coming?

Landgraab 172

Being the town's politician means he has to answer stupid frakkin questions like this all of the time. Lucky for Malcolm he is a master of deflection. Some juicy gossip about General Zod, the Lambswool's cat, takes Diego's mind off of winter.

Landgraab 175

Viv comes home and heads straight to bed, as usual.

Landgraab

While Malcolm and Diego hit the hot tub.

Tuesday, Day Nine

Landgraab 005

Vivian wakes early in the morning to Gwyneth's good morning cries.

Landgraab 006

Malcolm, who hung out in the hot tub all night with Diego, finally gets to bed.

Landgraab 008

Killer Flies Swarm Baby. News at 11.

Landgraab 010

Apparently Vivian had her second pop.

Landgraab 013

Vivian hopes the baby powder will provide enough of a barrier between her daughter and the Killer Flies.

Landgraab 019

Landgraab 021

Landgraab 022

It's almost time for Malcolm to set off on the campaign trail.

Landgraab 025

As Malcolm sets off for another day of Oceanside politics...

Landgraab 028

lightning strikes the side of the condo and flames erupt. I thought the rain would wash the flames away, but it STOPPED RAINING!

Landgraab 031

No stranger to fire, Vivian runs out to extinguish the flames before the whole condo catches on fire but the fire began to spread.

Landgraab 039

Sadie Winchester, Oceanside's fire fighter miraculously shows up to aid Vivian.

Landgraab 045

After Sadie put out the fire and saved Vivian and Gwyneth, Vivian thanks Sadie for everything she's done. Vivian and Sadie have never liked each other much but that didn't matter anymore. Sadie saved their lives and Vivian owed her.

Landgraab 049

Viv invites Sadie in for lunch and tries to get to know her better. Vivian politely ignores how stinky Sadie is after putting the fires out.

Landgraab 052

And Sadie tries her best to clean up without dirtying up Vivian's home.

Landgraab 054

Landgraab 055

After Viv's shower it goes kaput.

Landgraab 058

Never fear, Super Nanny is here! Angie, who came over to help set up Gwyneth's transition party, tries her hand at fixing the shower.

Landgraab 062

But the shower defeats her.

Landgraab 064

Angie goes back to doing what she does best, saving the baby from the Killer Flies.

Landgraab 068

Angie greets seamstress Dawn Lambswool who brings new gowns for little Gwyneth's transition day.

Landgraab 069

Angie cranks up the tunes...

Landgraab 072

and pours the nectar.

Landgraab 074

Angie, of course, needs to make sure the vintage is suitable for the guests.

Landgraab 077

YES! Vivian is doing a great job investing the town's funds.

Landgraab 078

The problem with Angie Killeen #3: she doesn't know when to stop. Sure Ang, make more drinks, because what every little girls' birthday needs is LIQUOR!

Landgraab 081

Thank goodness we now have a grocery store we can go to.

Landgraab 085

Vivian is awake and is ready to throw Gwyneth the best transition day party ever.

Landgraab 086

Landgraab 087

Angie grills hot dogs for the first time. *Please don't set the house on fire again!*

Landgraab 088

Landgraab 089

The gang's all here. Even Rocky Kotsomiti showed up!

Landgraab 091

No fires! She really is the best Nanny ever. Good job Angie!

Landgraab 094

Dawn belches to the amusement of most and the disdain of Vivian and Brodie.

Landgraab 096

Brodie: *trying desparately to get to Kendrick* Oh hey, new buddy Minka!
Minka: *dis bitch*

Landgraab 098

Becca and Owen ignore all of the other guests and find their way to the hot tub.

Landgraab 099

And Diego finds his way to Matisse. I'm still rooting for these two!

Landgraab 102

Everyone gather around. It's transition time!

Landgraab 106

Dang it, I never get them to the cake on time!

Landgraab 108

Yay!!!!! Welcome to toddlerhood Gwyneth!

Landgraab 120

After a wardrobe change and a new hair style Gwyneth is ready for her close-up. Gwyn is a 0-8-9-10-1 Sagittarius who is interested in school and travel. She's materialistic like her mother and ambitious like her father. She would love to spend time in Nature.

Landgraab 110

Unfortunately Malcolm missed his princess' transition but he's ready to party!

Landgraab 112

I don't know if Kendrick is trying to rub it in Minka's face, but he's all over Brodie at this party.

Landgraab 122

Minka hides out on the front porch. The thought of Kendrick and Brodie together is unbearable. If only she didn't cheat on him with Fitz maybe things would've been different. But she really wanted to have a baby, like all of her friends. If Kendrick wasn't going to give that to her she had to get it from someone else...

Landgraab 121

Connor grooves to the music.

Landgraab 123

While Becca and Owen get it on in the hot tub.

Landgraab 125

Exhausted from all of the celebrating, Viv heads to bed.

Landgraab 128

Malcolm grabs his daughter and checks out how much she's grown! He's a proud papa!

Landgraab 131

Landgraab 132

Matisse and Fitz visit with Minka and try to cheer her up. Minka is thankful she has such wonderful friends to help her.

Landgraab 145

With the hot tub now free, Brodie and Kendrick try to have some alone time.

Landgraab 141

Landgraab 142

Landgraab 144

Selena really likes the way Connor shakes his thang!

Landgraab 148

What? The party was Not Bad just a minute ago. What happened?

Landgraab 146

Sadie passed out! All of the fire fighting and her pregnancy must have got to her.

Landgraab 147

Owen: Um, I think Sadie's dead.
Rocky: Ewwwwww.

Landgraab 149

This is the second time Sadie did a pregnancy pass out in front of everyone. Poor Sadie! She's mortified.

Landgraab 151

While everyone was watching Sadie collapse, one sim's cheating sense was tingling.

Landgraab 152

Uh-oh.

Landgraab 155

I've never seen Minka Yomoshoto so pissed off!

Landgraab 160

Minka smacks the crap out of Kendrick!

Landgraab 165

Minka: This is the last straw Kendrick Troubadour! I am sick of you making a fool out of me! I don't love you. I'm not your friend. I HATE YOU! You are dead to me!

Landgraab 173

You tell him Minka! It's over. No more Minka and Kendrick. Minka's heart is broken...

Landgraab 174

Brodie wastes no time cheering Kendrick up. She has him all to herself now, but I'm not sure that's what she wanted.

Landgraab 178

SADIE!!!! Not again! Becca and Fitz are super worried!

Landgraab 179

Well, at least it wasn't a disaster *bright side*.

Landgraab 181

It's time to go. Kendrick carries his love home.

Landgraab 186

Landgraab 184

Gwyneth finds her transition present, a doll house, and enjoys "playing" with the dolls inside.

Landgraab 187

Yep, she's still there.

Landgraab 189

Malcolm: Ugh, she ruined the whole party! Why doesn't she go home already!

Landgraab 190

Malcolm tries potty training Gwyneth but he was too late.

Landgraab 197

Gwyneth doesn't seem to approve of Malcolm's anti-Killer Flies powdering skills.

Landgraab 201

Landgraab 204

Malcolm puts Gwyn to bed and then himself.

Landgraab 205

But Gwyn has other plans...

Landgraab 208

Landgraab 210

Ooooh, you crafty little girl!

Landgraab 211

Landgraab 213

Landgraab 218

Gwyneth is just in time for the show...

Landgraab 220

Landgraab 221

Mad_Kermit

ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Landgraab 245

Malcolm: do-dee-do. Look at me not caring that my wife is giving birth to twins...
ASSHOLE!

Landgraab 254

After drawing Malcolm away from the doll house and cleaning the babies up I present a girl, Tabitha Landgraab! Tabitha has her mother's light skin and her father's brown hair and dark blue eyes.

Landgraab 253

And a boy! Malcolm Moneywell Landgraab has his mother's black hair and his father's tan skin and dark blue eyes. Since this Malcolm has a new middle name he is not Malcolm the XI. He can create his own dynasty in Oceanside!

I think it's time for a bigger house...

Landgraab 252

And Sadie finally recovers!
Sadie: OhmyWatcher twins! That's awful! Good luck with that!
Famous last words...

Notes: OK first off THAT DOLLL!!! It's so creepy! Every time you change your position the eyes follow you. THEY FRAKKIN FOLLOW YOU. Who thought this was a cool thing? Well, actually it is a very cool thing but AHHHHHHHH!

Angie Killeen was chosen to be the Nanny because she was the only NPC created that had a Family aspiration. When everyone left for the wedding I had to temporarily move her into the Landgraabs' so Gwyneth wouldn't be taken away (I forgot I didn't have the "ask a friend to babysit" mod in). She has her own Day Care that she resides in that we will visit later.

I've never seen babies get flies all around them. I was totally grossed out. I guess it's because Gwyneth has zero neat points? Blech!

Fact: there have been more fires on Vivian's lot than any other in the hood. I think Calista really cursed them! If I ever open the Law Enforcement career she's the first one going to prison.

Credits: The toddlers can escape the crib mod is by Simlogical (cribgetoutall). The toddlers can use the stairs mod is by Rebecah. The creepy doll is by Veranka.

Thank you for reading!!!
