Generation Japanese, Chapter One



Hello, and welcome back to the Around the World legacy, or, in Japanese, 世界中 (Sekaijū).

Last time, Ella got pregnant and we didn't know who the father was.

And here's a random photo of Ella eating cake. Yay, cake!

I hope her child doesn't inherit the nose.

Coke: Whatevs, my offspring are hot.

H: *eyeroll*

So. Pretty.
By the way, you may have noticed I changed the format of the blog. The pictures are still a little small for me, but I don't know how to make them bigger.

And now it's birthday time!

Cocaine.

Hatulja.

She wanted a cane, so I let her have one.

Indy had a prom, but I didn't go date searching as hard for him.

Indy: Oh yeah, I'm hot.
His crush Marie Palmer, ditched him for a dance.

Ella: Oh. Frac.

Ella: BABY'S COMING!

Oh honey... It'll be over in a second!

It's a girl! Looking into her family tree, her father is Bran Starr. I don't know if that's better or worse than guy whose name I don't remember.

Her name is Joyuu which means actress, and she has an imaginary friend! He's named Lucky.
And, since I didn't mention it yet I'll be using transliterations of Japanese words and picking which ones start with J, since obviously there is a different alphabet.

H wanted another tattoo, so I let her get one.

Now that I can adjust the lengths of age stages, infants grow up after just one day. I put the extra two days into the YA and Adult lifespans. I might also adjust the teen stage, it's a little long for me. Right now Ella and Indy will both age up on the same day, and then Indy and Joy will both age up on the same day.

Here's Joy, being pretty darn cute even though she looks a bit cross-eyed. She has Imogen's red eyes and her father's brown hair, that's all I can tell right now.

Also, she's pretty darn cute.

Joy: *is cute*

This is Marie, Indy's crush. I bet she'd be cute if she had a makeover.

Joy: *is cuter than Marie*

There, that's better!
Indy: My talk bubble about you no longer applies. Must have been the goblins.

Joy: *is still cuter than Marie*

I tried to give him some help with her, since she denied him at prom, but she refused again.
Joy: Haha, DENIED! >:D

Indy: What do you mean you don't love me?
Joy: lawl

Indy: My heart, she is broken.

Joy: *is still cuter than Marie, and also Indy*

Indy: FRAC DAMMIT, JOYUU CHIMEREE-ELLIS!
Oh yeah, I forgot to fix their last name... oh well, I kind of like it.

Outside, Ella got an opportunity to tutor Vivi, so I let her. Because one, it led to money, and two, Viv is kind of her only friend right now. Oh, and two part B, Viv is kind of the only one I've really thought of for a spouse for Ella. Sure, she's the same age as Indy, but huge age differences haven't stopped Ella before.

...except Vivi just got a boyfriend her own age. And still has a whole life stage to go. Frac.

Why is the whole family standing on the lawn of this really pretty house?

It's Ambit Arches from Mod the Sims, and it's the family's new home.
I was going to say that the old home wasn't laid out very well and causing traffic jams, which is true, but the truth is I just got bored with it.
I did re-decorate the house a bit, since I had to make a new bedroom for H, Coke, and Immy anyway. And I love decorating.
Here are just a few of the rooms, before we move on:





Joy: *was cuter on the old rug*

...and that's it! That's the furthest I've played. See you next time!

Generation Italian, Chapter Ten



Hello, and welcome back to the Around the World legacy, or, in Italian, In Tutto Il Mondo.

Last time, the kids became YA. Aaand... that's about it.


I made Ella a new bedroom. Not totally happy with it, but that's all they could afford.

Ella's super pretty.

Her nose is very odd, though.

I made a display in the triplets' old room for Issy and Iato. I felt bad getting rid of all their stuff.

Issy had this pretty mirror in her inventory, from the theatre!

Iato has these from his clubs.

And then they moved out. Almost immediately I received a notification that Issy moved in with Topher.

Indy: *is unbearably cute*

Ella: *gasp* Wait, if I'm heiress, that means I need to reproduce!

Ella: Oh well, better go stalking!

H has started work on Ella's portrait. Looks good!

Woohoo!

See this skill bar? Once it fills up, Immy's got her ltw DONE!

Coke... is still writing.

And now it's time for... GRADUATION!

Ella graduated with Honors and was voted "most likely to burn down their own house"

After graduation Ella went in search of spouses and...
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE I GO, VIVIAN?!

By the way, I got a notification here that Issy was having an accidental baby with Topher! Oops!

Ella: Look, I'm just talking to you while we wait for the rest of town to zerg swarm on the lot like they always do when the legacy family shows up. I've graduated, and you're still barely a teen. This isn't going to work. So stop stalking me.

Vivi: Yeah... that's not going to work. You're super pretty, and I'm attracted to women. Also, the men here are...

Vivi: Special.

Sorry Vivi, but we don't have time to waste. This guy's name is, um, not in my notes. Huh.
But I like his thinking!

After inviting him over...

Ella: My father's named after drugs, but it's okay, we'll name our kids normal things like my name, Evil Eye.

Ella even scored her first kiss! Sweet!

Um, moving a little fast aren't we kids? KIDS?!

KIDS! I'm not ready for you to have kids of your own, and risky woohoo is the only option here.
Ella: Whatever!

Ella: YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?!

Dude: Rubbish.

Ella: I can't believe you, guy whose name I didn't bother to learn, I thought you loved me!

Dude: Look, we both knew it was a one night stand!
Ella: I don't want to hear it. Get out.

Ella: I can't believe my first woohoo was with that loser.

What is this? Immy maxing her logic skill and reaching her LTW on her elder birthday?

Oh yeah, didn't I mention that? Immy's turning old and Indy's becoming a teen.

Ella: Uh, I'm not so sure how I feel about this.
Theladry Starr: This. Is. Awesome.
Estevan: In no way be creeped out by my eyebrows.

The crazy-looking girl is Theladry, the cross-eyed man in the background is her father(?) Bran Starr.

Immy ages relatively well!

Indy is... hot. Too bad there's not a drop of Alphabetacy in him.

Also: cheekbones that could cut glass.

What is this?

Ella: I've chased you down when you tried to leave, so now you have to flirt with me!
Ella, no! If he is Theladry's father that means he's A) CAS and B) older than your mother. The one that didn't age into an elder just now.

Ella: I do what I want. Plus, he's cute and this town is full of fugly.

By the way, Issy and Topher broke up.

Bran: Before we go any further I have to tell you-

Ella: *snog* Shut up.

Brella: *more snogging*

Bran: Are you sure it's a good idea?
Ella: Why wouldn't it be?
Bran: We're wearing the same gloves, for one.

Bran: And also I'm married.

...
Ella, his KIDS are older than you!

Immy: Dum-dee-dum, just running on the treadmill, nothing to see here.
This is also photo 666 for this generation.

Unattainable beauty standards, now brought to you by The Sims 3. Her head is bigger than her waist. D:

What is this?

Hooray for a puking heiress!
Ella: Speak for yourself!

Ella is following in her sister's footsteps with the accidental baby, I had her risky woohoo with two guys. I don't even know who the father is.
Issy accidentally got pregnant by Topher, but they broke up. Shortly after she gave birth to Wade Chimeree-Ellis, a baby boy.

Ella: I have woohoo'd a guy with a girlfriend and a married man with daughters older than me, and yet my reputation is still better than my parents, who are in a committed triad.
Welcome to the world, sweetie, it doesn't always make sense.

Ella: Well, at least I'm pretty. I'm going to go save lives now.

By day, Ella works in the hospital. By night, she discovers potions or makes new inventions.

She looks so happy while she does, too!

Scratch that first part. She no longer goes to work by day, because there's a nooboo on the way!

I love her maternity wear, by the way. It's totally something I would wear.

Anyway, next chapter will be Generation Japanese, whether we're ready or not!
