Took another break from extracting and fixing-up Weasleys (and others) and retexturing their hairstyles and stuff to turn off free will again and see what else happened. And it went exactly like you probably expect. Shit got a little bit real. As always, all caps are in chronological order, and sometimes lots of stuff happens at the same time. Sims are busy! Can be clicked and thus embiggened. In italics are the little bits of storystuff I think of when I'm playing with these sims, in between laughing at them doing weird shit like dancing in the bathroom.

this amuses me and idk why

Alice loves pillow fights. She kept beating the shit out of anyone who would stand still long enough with a pillow. Also, she apparently sleeps in a towel.

"I had a dream I had a beautiful child and grandchildren, it was super weird" She spent the entire day watching Lucius play an arcade game. The entire day. Just standing in her doorway, not letting the door close, watching.

It's really, really hard keeping track of 20whatever sims, so I rely on clues like the "first kiss" chimes. And I found this. Harry that dude is 1. dating your sister 2. mackin' on both of your sons, to whom he is related and 3. WHAT THE HELL
Scorpius' face is the same face I was making.

They had been getting along so I left them alone, but when I checked back Draco had done... idk something that Dudley didn't like. He keeps doing this shit and when I left the lot for the night he was about to go into aspiration failure. Oh bb.

"Can we have a closer look at his face?" you ask. Certainly! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas~

At first I was like SHE. IS. YOUR. COUSIN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then I saw it was only a "family" kiss or a cheek kiss. One of those. Besides, they're close enough on the family tree that the game recognizes them as cousins without my intervention. So nothing weird is gonna happen there.

Regulus wandered into Dudley's dorm room and caressed Draco's neck. Or waved at him from an extremely close range. One of the two. (Just like in the old neighborhood, Draco thinks he's hot.)

The giant lips from Harry's successful first kiss hadn't even cleared his head before Draco burst into their children's room and smacked the shit out of him. Ok.

Heard gagging, and wondered who was being repulsed by whom. Regulus2 apparently does not find James attractive. Rude!

James doesn't GAF because he and Sirius were having a tickle fight. They are the brotp to end all brotps. UR MY WORLD BRO. (seriously their friendship is so cute SERIOUSLY SIRIUSLY JAMESUSLY)

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I got Harry and Draco to stop slapping each other long enough to give Harry a more in-character outfit. Because realHarry probably wouldn't be wearing a ketchup shirt with red and black pinstriped pants and boots. Of Draco's face, we will not speak, except to note that LOL

Have you ever seen less intimidating angry faces? They're like a couple of old chihuahuas. Also Harry's shirt was a short-sleeved shirt that I opened and found extra texture in so I gave it a long-sleeved alpha. I edit so much shit you guys

I locked them in Draco's room and put an invisible sofa on the bed so they could sit and talk. Also changed the poster so Harry wouldn't see.

"Look, I'm just saying, we should probably get our shit together. We have children! They need us!"
"I could not give less of a shit if I tried. I don't care what some depraved other version of me has done. We're not them and we never will be... and those kids will have to get used to it."
"I hate you so much."

Harry hates him so much that his face actually got stuck that way and I had to fix it myself. (They hate each other, but Harry's relationship score was -100 short term and -100 long term AND he was "furious" with him, so he REALLY REALLY SUPER HATED him. I have no idea why.)

Downstairs in the bathroom, Lily watches Regulus1 and Petunia slow dance, because why not?

Decided to check up on Remus and found him in a corner, by himself. Whatcha doin? "Paintin'"
It's beautiful, love.

I hadn't fixed Harry's face yet.

"They exist whether you like it or not, you know."
Draco is pretending that he didn't just get a positive relationship point at the idea of having Harry's babies.

I really really really really really don't want to talk about this anymore, he's thinking. This is going down a road they should never, ever go down. Except that they did. Or will. Or something. Oh God.

I make the same face whenever someone reminds me how old I am. Anyway, there's a comparison of their relationship scores. I really have no idea why Harry hates Draco so much more than Draco hates Harry, I remember setting them both to -20/-20, so who knows. It fits the narrative tho

"Look, it's not my fault this weird time-thing happened, but we can't exactly undo it!"
"Do I look like Doctor Who? Do I look like I care about this nonsense?"

"I really don't know what you expect me to do. Put on a ring and pretend we're married? No. No. Just. No."
Harry really wished Ron and Hermione were here. She'd tell him to keep trying while she went to the library to see if there was anything of any help there, and Ron would shrug and tell him to punch him in the face.
He's probably going to do both.

Meanwhile, downstairs, everybody's finally realized that there's a dorm cook and there's fresh food for their starving idiot selves to eat. "Um, Sirius, could you... could you not... uh... never mind." He never took his robe off all day. Just got up like that and didn't bother to change. Her face tho. His particles are making her so resigned-sad.

"...and that's why we call him Wormtail!" "FASCINATING." Regulus1 apparently also partakes of the family drugs.

When you move a new bunch of sims onto a lot, they have like 1 or 2 days of summer and then it rolls over to fall. Here we witness one of Pixiesim's innumerable offspring, who doesn't even go to this college subhood. STOP RAKING THE LEAVES YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE GO HOME (does this mean the Pixiesim of my public twitter? Indeed it does. Does that also mean the rest of the trashsims? Well, duh. It wouldn't be Harry Potter without a He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ultimate evil lurking around.)

Regulus2 apparently pouts because he and Alice aren't being more like Madisim and Neville. Note Narcissa's open door in the background. Why did she stand in a doorway all day???

"I have a million good reasons to hate you, and three good reasons not to."
"And I have a million and one good reasons to hate you, and I still do!"

Regulus2 is still pouting because his sister got her first makeout and he's getting nothing rn.

Then I heard more first kiss music and wondered who the hell could possibly be left. It took me forever to find them. I guess Dudley was so overcome by naked Teddy that he decided he absolutely had to kiss his cousin's son. Ok. Look how blissed-out Teddy is. He didn't even notice this was happening.

Only after the deed was done did Scorpius realize they were, in fact, in the communal shower. I prefer to take pictures with the walls up, but the shower room is too small, so in the background we have Luna playing chess all day with Hyacinth, who I keep forgetting to send to school, Regulus2 finally getting some, Neville/Madi still doing whatever, and Regulus1 getting mad at James.

I love how Regulus is meticulously dressed, and Madisim is still in her lingerie. Taking after their dads.

"DUDE WHAT THE HELL." James tried to tickle him. They're not close enough friends yet for the tickles. I like how James looks like he's saying "BLAH AHH AHH AHH" and flailing his arms around. (no really I keep laughing out loud at this help)

I forgot that the first kiss shenanigans meant that they'd still be into each other. Neville is REALLY HECKIN' MAD that his mom is serenading his girlfriend's dad. But never mind that! It's time for everyone to go to class! They all have the same class right now because they have no majors, so getting them all to class on time is a huge challenge because they get in each others' way and give up. Then I realized three of them still weren't going. What were they doing that they wouldn't go down stairs and go to class???

Oh.
I don't know who started it. I just know that I went upstairs and found James all adorably concerned like GUYS CAN YOU... GUYS... I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE PARENTING RIGHT NOW? CAN YOU NOT DO THIS? GUYS? HELLO? PLS STOP HELP LILY WHAT DO I DO MY CHILD IS BEATING UP HIS KIDS' DAD

Presented entirely without comment.

Neither has any body skill points, so I didn't know who would win. I guess Harry's hatred was better fuel, because he did. James is like DO I CONGRATULATE YOU, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT DUDES DO, OR DO I SCOLD YOU BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT DADS DO? LILY HELP

C'MERE CHAMP LEMME SHOW YOU A BETTER METHOD OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION. THEY CALL ME THE TICKLE KING FOR A REASON. No one calls you that James
But Harry doesn't care if he's treated like a child because it's not like anybody treated him like a child when he WAS a child so this is pretty awesome right
oh now I'm sad

I would have capped Draco's post-fight expression, but he was just standing there staring. So the three of them finally went to class, and when they got back and were all on the lawn, I found him like this. So now Madi's kissed both Neville and Draco. Get it gurrrrrrrrrrl

Draco's in aspiration failure, but his wants are a bit hard to fulfill because WHAT THE HELL I'M NOT KILLING HARRY FOR YOU also I like that he's not friends with Madi yet but she still lets him flirt with her. He's got the smooth moves ok. Harry also wants to see his ghost. They literally want to kill each other. Literally. They want to see each other dead. What the hell.

"It's really great or whatever that you gave me my hairstyle, but those kids are still here and they're starting to need things. REMOVE THEM AT ONCE." I kept her other hairstyle as her sleep hair tho.
Also you can tell I used Madisim as a base when I made her years ago. Narcissa was based off of Amaryllis, and Andromeda was based off of Scorpius' daughter Narcissa. (REMEMEBR HOW PRETTY SHE WAS? MAYBE WE'LL SEE HER AGAIN SOMEDAY. HMMMMMMM.) So that should explain why so many of my sims look alike. I'M NOT UNORIGINAL THEY'RE JUST ALL RELATED.

And because I forgot last time, Rodolphus. He has an interesting nose. I moved Narcissa/Lucius and Petunia/Regulus/Dudley/Hyacinth over to this dorm because the other one was so full it was really difficult to handle.

That was way too many words and I would apologize but I'm not sorry tbh
I only wish they were acting more canonical, like my first HP sims. But we'll get there.

oh God
