why don't anybody want that it's a new mode all right about it in cosmos it's cosmoface hates hates children definitely definitely he's a goofball but he hates kids so much he's got to be romantic right I think he does all right let's expand his nuclear family um with can't see oh he can make a we could randomize the son is my son random boy he's a single dad of right there out of it so I feel like his son as a job I feel like he sucks what really the paycheck help me find the perfect boy because I'm starting to regret making an adult man instead of just a family of all boys a family you're a weird Faga desk yeah except without Fagin just all boys Fagin free house hey there's a good boy hey hey there's a now that's a boy that I can get into that's a perfect boy I see this perfect boy just gotta just one slider real quick let me see that suit okay dad over to wallstreet makeup maybe he's got paint protection from each later yeah god you gotta do that okay so cream face business boy we are naming this perfect beautiful business child does cream face business boy now doesn't work damn it day trader Vader day trader Vader day trader Vader all right that looks pretty good when you give him some aspirations so mental Oh I mean this guy hates his dad so much yeah day trader Vader hates his kids his dad so so much can you blame him well I can't look at that beast of a man what if they just have a weird roommate and they and nobody knows why he's there okay this guy seems super friendly and I feel like day-trader Vader's going to need a positive influence in his life yeah but I do want to make him gigantic he's a federal investigator oh yes is the investigating day-trader Vader just like the unhealthy relationship now he's he's investigating day-trader Raider for securities fraud okay then he's gonna need some some FBI glasses look at that and is there something approximating a detective hat there is what is that why is this it oh this is a sleepwear why are you wearing sunglasses to sleep sir cause it's bright misery the bureau says he has to go to bed at 6:00 p.m. every day and make a haze cause diction and he's a male stripper in the swimming times apparently just spin one off the dome cousin cousin specially now what's the story here he showed up one day claiming to be a forgotten cousin from date trader Vader's mom's side of the family okay dark doesn't keep in touch so he had no way of verifying this so what what what happened to the mom in this picture she got deported to where - what - space new gins burg okay country where everybody's choose gigantic uh I don't know what happened to her she's just out of the picture we don't deal with that here on my two dads - okay so he's just their roommate no no familial ties I feel like that's going to confuse the viewer of our serialized television telenovela that we've created here in The Sims 4 and what do we want to call this like whole situation we need a title for this monster Factory what are we calling this whole situation I'm not sure if your is deeply into my two dads too as I am uh or maybe just the my two dads let me hit you it's a reimagining okay my two dads squared okay yeah that's good do you know how to make the squared button on a keyboard cuz I don't I'll figure it out oh my god what we done what you don't think about the repercussions that you see in the real world look at this tableau oh no don't yeah where is he going he's off to have a nice Oh oh my god god I love it okay no now I'm rooting for dark Vader I hate cousin special agent uh what's her objective going to be for this are we trying to find help dark Vader find love are we trying to help cousin special agent I think much like in a storytelling format sort of pioneered by Hill Street Blues in the mid 80s I think we're following multiple storylines into switching between them as they become I'll be honest with you I have a very hard time parsing what's going on in this game I'm going to need you to help walk through here a little bit well right now they're having an unpleasant conversation cousin is angry I wonder if I can I just control cousin and have him chill out he needs to use the workout machine right now because he's like so beefed he's so he's beefing and so he wants to get beefy but see they just patched things up he's not as good as Miss skill and really look at these two monstrosity how could they ever hate each other they need each other now what's my little perfect boy up to he's sitting Oh God he's plotting he's planning this is not a boys house is it no this is not a house for a boy this is a house for young man if you think about it he has a third dad and it's you that's where the squared comes in because 2 squared is 2 squared is 3 can you move faster my perfect boy all right business boy and there you go the cousin special agent he's he's trying to get ripped so he's gonna swim some laps and he's just gonna oh no get out of there you get out of there I haven't played this game since pools got added I wonder if you can do that for things still where you delete the ladders and the people died boy I hope not because that would just be too bad these
