“There you go little Oz, sleep well.”

“Goo?”

Page 3: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Nighty buzz Night.”

Page 4: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I’m sure the poor child thought the kitchen floor was his bed.

Page 5: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

The one and only time Holley interacted with Oz as a baby. Still not sure I like the *breastfeeding without the blur, it looks weird. Why couldn’t you

have had the baby on its side Maxis? Maybe sim babies can take their sustenance through their ear?

*While this is a hack it was pulled from the base game and is a Maxis interaction. It can be found here:

http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,8084.540.html for anyone that wants it.

Page 6: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I invited the family over for Oz’s birthday and also greeted Pixx’s simself who was a walk by. We remember you Pixx! You stole norm and broke the

water barrel back when Tina was young!

Page 7: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

This time she just blocked one bathroom while smustling the day away.

Page 8: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Pixx, lunch is served!”

Page 9: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Wasted a command as it didn’t work.

Pixx stunk up the house and stole fake norm.

“Oi! Less of the fake, I’m Norms brother, *Blue. If you think she stinks you should take a whiff under my arm pit! That’ll put hairs of your chest!”

Also thanks to a handy simPE tutorial, I found and removed the cc plant covering the flamingos. Now we have real stretched galahs!

Page 10: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Are you sure you want to eat that?”

“Very sure.”

“Just keep it away from me.”

*Olinda has been pregnant with baby O for about five sim years now.*

Page 11: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“This cheesecake is delicious peach.”

“No trouble Holley, hope it helps.”

You want six kids? Then we are going to pump out six kids as quickly as possible. Shame I didn’t think to twin the first pregnancy.

Page 12: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“The stock exchange went up! How dare people make money!”

“I know! They should be broke without a brass razoo, like we were as kids!”

Blyth and Olinda can always commiserate with each other on the evils of making money.

Page 13: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Peach does the honours.

“O oh I think we had a little oopsey didn’t we Oz?”

Page 14: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“You earthlings are gross!”

Oh what’s a bit of flying poop at a party.

Page 15: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

One nappy change and spin later and we have an interesting toddler. I have checked on the sim blender and he does grow into his features.

Page 16: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Some better hair always improves things. His stats are similar to Rolley’s.

10 neat! 9 outgoing, 9 active, 2 serious and 3 mean.

Page 17: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I don’t know what is up with kali. Since moving out she’s been positively nice.

Page 18: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

She loves to smustle. She danced by herself and then with her Aunt Olinda.

Page 19: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Then with her Aunt Opal.

The few days I did play over at Blyth’s house she was smiling, playing red hands with her half siblings and trying to take care of her brother as well.

O_o

You’re supposed to be mean, ornery and cantankerous!

“All the better to deceive you with.” >smirk<

I wouldn’t put it past her.

Page 20: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Opal still doesn’t leave Oz alone.

Page 21: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

She’s a wonderful grandma.

Page 22: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Teaching him to both go potty

Page 23: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

and to talk.

I’d look that that if my grandmother sat around in her underwear too

Page 24: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Chewy taught him to walk and Holley took care of the nursery rhyme. I like independent tots, now he can be happily left to skill on his toys while

the next two get the attention.

Page 25: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

If only you lot would leave the little carpet grub get some sleep!

Poor kid kept waking up and getting out of bed because they wouldn’t leave him alone!

“But we want to get him up so we can put him to bed.”

Page 26: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Holley has put on a little weight.

“A little? I think my duckies have grown to look more like giant frogs!”

Page 27: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Unlike someone else.

“Looking good.”

This has to be one of Rolley’s favoured pastimes. He doesn’t clean anymore, only checks himself out in the mirror.

He did this three times in a row. Conceited much?

Page 28: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Of course with a hobby of fitness and a liking to work out without being told, Rolley keeps trim.

“You want something?”

“Umm I must have come in here for something... Oh yes I had to check the wallpaper!”

“Okay...?”

Which may not last that long...

Page 29: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Blyth recons something real interesting will happen if I put a torch on here.”

Page 30: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Holey-dolley! What’s that?!”

I wasn’t going to, but he is a knowledge sim and any pregnancies count towards the three. Plus there is a chance we may get elf ears too.

That only took something like 7 hours <_<

Page 31: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I’d forgotten that Holley was due soon. Twin two will be this generation’s bad apple.

Page 32: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

First up we have another boy, and yah for genetic diversity, Paddington got Granddad Chewy’s green eyes.

Page 33: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

While his twin Paisley got the grey/blue eyes. I’m surprised we keep getting brown hair.

Page 34: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Paddington is an old Sydney suburb, best known for its markets and heritage buildings. It’s often referred to as ‘paddo’ I also chose it because I like

Paddington Bear. :P

Paisley I couldn’t find much about except it’s in South Australia. Her name reminds me of paisley prints. Yes our bad apple is a girl.

Page 35: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

*Waah! Nobody loves me, not even my twin. Left out like a piece of junk for bin day*

Page 36: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Wonders if Paisley will have a fear of being squashed by large objects now.

Peach was on her way out to pick her up when the aliens returned.

Page 37: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Go Rolley!”

Chewy: *What’s going on? Why am I out here? Why do we have so many flamingos? Why, why, why?*

Senility is setting in I’m afraid.

Page 38: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“It’s not, go Rolley! I’m severely traumatised! Never to recover! Thank you very much Peach! Let me tell you something, those aliens do not play

rugby league like uncle Blyth said, they made be play >sob< baseball!”

Page 39: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Hey Dad, how’s it going? Nice night to stare at the street, kachow.”

Chewy *Maybe I’m waiting for a bus...yeah that must be it.*

Page 40: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

One thing I can be assured of is that no baby will ever starve.

Page 41: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Or want for attention. Sleep though, they might need.

Page 42: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Now that Holley has finished being pregnant I bought a warm up bar in the hopes she would use it. Luckily Holley does. Opal of course continues to

be Opal and ignores all exercise opportunities. She came and clapped for it though.

“Good girl Holley, move those pounds!”

“Would you like a go mum?”

“No, no I’ll just go overfeed the babies and play with Dad.”

Page 43: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Which is what they both spend most of their time doing.

Page 44: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11
Page 45: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Synchronized smustle, they have it down pat.

Page 46: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Chewy are you sure I’m meant to stand out here?’

“I don’t see how else we will flag down a bus.”

“But we don’t get a bus service.”

“Exactly! Now it has to stop.”

I’m very glad my senile elders cannot jump on a bus!

Page 47: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

*I’ll just take a quick bath in between trying to flag down a bus*

Page 48: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Chewy also uses the bar but doesn’t know when to stop.

“For some reason spending the night out here is tiring.”

Page 49: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Holley looks after most of her own needs, but has trouble knowing how to find a shower. She stood there complaining at least five times.

There’s an empty en suit just behind you Holley!

Page 50: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Peach being overworked, uses the only means at her disposal of seeing her crush.

“He is not my crush! He’s a piker who’s as ugly as a bag of spanners!”

Page 51: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

A quick spy on the telescope ensures a visit, but this is not the way to meet guys.

“I don’t care!”

Poor peach, I will try and fix things up later, but right now I need you to clean up some bottles, compost the contents of a potty, talk to some plants,

catch some bugs and oh yeah, bake a cake.

Page 52: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I am not counting Mingo on your short list of who is hot.

Page 53: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Rolley’s brain fried on becoming pregnant. He can’t seem to find the fridge, the toilet or his bed.

Page 54: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

He hasn’t slept with his Dad since he was a teen.

Page 55: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I had to watch him like a hawk for signs he needed directing. Opal was a way better pregnant bad apple and she did it three times. I’m glad Rolley is

only doing it once.

Page 56: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Of course she didn’t have twins.

Babies four and five on the way.

Page 57: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I thought before we get even more flamingos, we should get a garden club inspection.

“What a lovely bush, don’t you think so Matthew?”

“It is Katie, but what are those?!”

Page 58: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“It’s trash is what it is!”

“Eww, disgusting! It shows a lack of effort when one leaves garbage about their yard.”

You snob Allyn, you should be thankful you’re wearing a default.

Page 59: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

They were impressed by the vegetable patch, so I had hopes...when this happened.

Page 60: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Flipping dunny boxes!”

Page 61: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“I can see you have an emergency on your lot, call us another time.”

Nooo! Get back here you flamingo snobs!

Page 62: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Nope, she would only come over and act like she lived here.

Because: “Your garden hasn’t had time to grow yet.”

Page 63: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Ugg that baby stinks!”

“Well seeing you sleep and bath here now, why don’t you change him?”

“Ugg, as if!”

Page 64: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

For the most part Opal and Chewy’s obsession with holding the babies is a good thing-except when they need changing.

Page 65: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Oh yes I want to hear your joke Flo, just let me hand Paisley over to Chewy.”

“Buzz-a-beep!”

Trying to interact with the one holding the baby, to get them to put the baby down, simply gets the baby swapped over to the other.

Page 66: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Then it was time for a triple birthday.

“So do you think Scribbles will be successful?”

“Not a chance, she’s holding her fingers all wrong. Just watch and learn Blyth.”

Page 67: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Buzz-a-beep I’m watching you Fuzzy!”

“Why? Is my hair colour fading? I was just thinking about buying some flamingos for my yard.”

“Really buzz?”

“Well of course, why else would I be admiring them? Just look at that pink plastic, so pink and...plasticy. How can you beat that?”

“Very buzz true. Glad to know you were not beep thinking of taking Blue.”

Page 68: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Fuzzy: *You can leave anytime you want Peach...anytime*

“Peach do I smell burning cake?”

“Oh no! I better go check the oven!”

Page 69: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

*That’s it, that’s it! One down and one more to go!* “Nice day isn’t it Flo.”

“Oh yes, a lovely beep day for a birthday.”

“Maybe you should go make sure the kitchen is clean.”

“I was told to buzz stay here.”

Page 70: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Good grief woman, can’t you stay away for one minute!”

Then it was cake time and everyone behaved like a good guest and came inside.

Page 71: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Peach did the cake for Oz first.

Page 72: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I think his looks have improved; he just needs to grow into his nose and chin a bit.

Page 73: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Full soccer kit, you beauty!”

He may look like his mum, but he’s his father’s son all over personality wise.

Page 74: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Mingo gave Paisley a quick bath before her birthday to make sure she started off life as a toddler all nice and clean.

Funny how servos can use the water in the sink and tub to bath kids, but not fix one!

Page 75: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Decided to use a command each. I think they should spin one of their own kids at least once.

Page 76: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Paisley went first. I think she is a female version of Oz, at least in looks. Stat wise I don’t know as she is the bad apple for this generation.

Page 77: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

She looks better with some nice hair. Hopefully this will stay and I won’t need to change it again.

Page 78: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Then went Paddington, who not only looks different, but also got the freckled skin! I let him keep the hair.

Stats: 5 neat, 10 outgoing! 6 active, 2 serious and 3 mean. Where have all the playful points gone?! It’s starting to become a very serious, mean and

neat household.

Page 79: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Aren’t they cute? I’m hoping by having the bad apple as a twin I can use Paddington’s needs to guess hers.

Page 80: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Had enough yet?”

”Oh no, I want to play all night!”

*Crab sticks. So darn close*

Page 81: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Mission accomplished creator person. The purple menace has not, I repeat, not taken Blue.”

Good job Oz!

Blue 1

Simselves nill!

Scribbles, Fuzzy, Blyth and Gillian all tried and failed!

Page 82: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

This house is going to get quite squishy when it comes to sleeping space. So Oz will have to sleep in with peach for now at least.

Page 83: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Of course it might help if people slept in their own beds.

“Why is my wife sleeping here? I’m still a hunk of spunk aren’t I?”

This is the first time Holley has taken someone else’s bed.

Page 84: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

I don’t think you need worry about that Rolley. As if to prove the point they stayed in Peach’s room making out and flirting with each other for

hours. I think it was more a case of Chewy sleeping in her bed. I had to get Holley and Oz up as well as Chewy, as Peach needed her bed. First time

I’ve had to use the radio this generation, although I’m sure lots of radio moving will be happening soon.

Page 85: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Oz also got an easy bake oven for his birthday.

“Fair go, cooking’s for girls!”

Page 86: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Right and your bunny slippers are so butch.

Page 87: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Wow Rolley, that is just... wow. Well it is an important day coming up. Oz is heading off to school for the first time, a child is being adopted in, the

garden club is coming around again, and you’re...

Page 88: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Going to go to sleep in your food.

Page 89: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Watches and waits patiently....

Page 90: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Oi! I think I have a hernia!”

Page 91: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

“Has he been bitten by a green ant?!”

“No! He’s giving birth!”

Page 92: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

First up we have Clover Park. Which I can find zip all on apart from it being a place in NSW. I thought she’s green like a clover, maybe she will be

good luck in this house of mayhem.

Page 93: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Then her brother Coal Point. Coal Point is a place down in Tassy known for its surfing.

*Whatsup dudes?*

I’m really excited to see how he turns out as his eyes look more the normal shape.

Page 94: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Holley is so impressed she walks on past and goes to bed.

Page 95: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

As does Chewy,

Page 96: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

then Rolley. In fact everyone is asleep in their own beds.

Page 97: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Even the twins. It’s a rare occurrence.

Page 98: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Of course the fact that it’s actually day time as the twins were born at about 6am doesn’t bother anybody here.

“Fair dinkum mate; even more flamingos?”

May as well put out all 33 of them...

Page 99: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Because if you didn’t notice not only is the garden club lady due this morning but so is child number six, and this time I am being lazy.

Page 100: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

This time I had them adopt a child. This will be a whole lot less work, but give Holley the six kids she wants. Also it will give Oz an ‘almost twin’ so he

doesn’t feel left out. Adopting isn’t something I do very often as it seems kind of pointless to me to just generate new sims who in the past have

mostly been either A) Ugly, B) Boring or C) Both!

Beverly here does not look ugly-thank you plumbbob! Only time will tell if she is a B.

We now have, including the cat and servos 14 sims in this house!

You will have to see how it goes next update.

Page 101: Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 11

Aussie Glossary

Blue or Bluey- These are popular as dog names-and now for gnomes. ;) Mostly from the Australian breed of dog, the Blue Healer.

Brass razoo- meaning no money at all. It was introduced by the soldiers in WW1. Brass being the cheapest base metal for coins and the razoo being

an imaginary coin of trivial value.

Carpet grub – Small child.

Holy-dooley- An exclamation of surprise.

Piker- Someone who doesn’t want to fit in with others socially.

as ugly as a bag of spanners – Very ugly.

Bin day- the day the garbo’s pick up the wheelie bin. Bin being the outside ‘trash can’. The wheelie bin is plastic and has of course wheels. I have no

idea if Americans have the same.

You beauty- Really great.

Green ants- delightful creatures they will bite a hole in your skin into which they squirt formic acid. They will then hang on as they continue to bite,

chewing your skin to mix the acid, like a baker mixing dough.

Tassy- slang term for the island state of Tasmania.
