Around The World

Generation Japanese, Chapter Seven

2011-09-02T07:09:00.001-07:00

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

Last time, I took so many pictures that I needed to split the wedding into a separate post, and Vivian and Iella were married.

The happy couple returned to their hope for a well deserved rest.
That night, Iato and Domingo had their first (accidental) child, a boy named Sergio.

When I checked on everyone else, Imogen was floating in the middle of the air and everything I told her to do just disappeared out of her cue. Fortunately, a resetsim fixed it.

Ella: Who's birthday is it? Why do they get a cake and not me?

It's Jin's birthday, now play nice and cheer for the neglected ginger kid, okay?

Jin grows up... rather pretty, I think. Kind of plain, though.

After the birthday, I sent Jin and Ginny out to go meet their cousins. Remember, Isola and Topher have three kids: Wade (teen), Pedro (child) and Torrey (infant).

Only Wade and Torrey were home, though.

Jin: Think about it, bro. In another life you could be the legacy kid and I could be the cousin you go to visit.
Wade was unimpressed with Jin'ai.

When Wade went for a potty break, Jin noticed something standing in the corner. He picked up the guitar and started to play with it.

When Wade returned he couldn't believe it.
Wade: Put that down! It's my mum's!
Ginny: Maybe we should go, Jin.
Jin: Good idea... Hey, Vivian is right next door at the club, right...?

Vivian was at the club trying to impress celebrities. Nina Caliente was the only celebrity there, so she went to work.

Outside...
Ginny: I don't think you're supposed to touch that.
Jin: Trust me, it's fine.

Ginny: Hey, you're actually kind of good at this big brother.

Ginny: I want to be just like you when I grow up.

Inside, Vivi got her first star!

Ella was still trying to achieve her opportunity to talk to this guy (Joshue). He was a one star celebrity, so by the end of the night she had one star too!

Ella: Please, please just tell me about the use of lab-time.
Joshue: Throw me a party.

While everyone else was out, Joy stayed home and flirted with Lucky some more. She's a really interesting sim to play, since she's evil, insane, unlucky, and nurturing. I think it could really be fun to have her as heiress, but she's so similar to her mum in looks...

I got a notification around this time that Indy and Nina broke up. Indy started to flirt with Jin Ae Kahm, but ended up going steady with Bella Goth.

Oh, the elders stayed home too (until Immy and H went to work) but Coke was working the entire time so it wasn't too interesting.

When they got home, I had a little birthday surprise for Jin.

He looks pretty cool with it.

Since she can't top charisma without any more friends, when she's home Vivi works out or plays chess.

And then I decided to redo the house, since we had about $70,000 saved up from Coke's royalties, etc.

I merged Jin's room and the nursery to expand for future generations of babies.

I made a basement level beneath that...

With a stage and dance floor...

And also some seating.

Also in the basement is Jin's new bedroom.

It's pretty much exactly the way it was upstairs, but a little larger.

The renovations will (hopefully) make it easier for the next generation to expand.

Kostya, you're cute, and I want to make you real, but your stalking is kind of creepy.

More news about spares: Isola and Topher are expecting another accidental baby.

I sent Vivian out to search for celebrities again, since somehow Ella has two stars and Vivi has lost her one star. There were no celebrities at the sports bar, however, so she settled in for a bit of a drink before moving on.

Vivi: I love a dirty cheerleader.
*banned4life*

I decided to let her stick around and make some friends that weren't famous. She played this weird game with a fellow named Jam Drow-Raspberry.

Please breed.

I let Ella go join Vivian, since she was wandering around town anyway (I forget why).

Her nose really did not age well. Ella, darling, you look so tired.
Ella: I had three kids before I was even fully an adult and didn't get married until the youngest was already a child. In a few days I'll have three teenagers and my wife is barely out of her teens herself.
Okay, fair enough.

Once Vivi was done of her game with Jam she rolled a wish to watch the stars with Ella, so I let them, and they chose this romantic car park to do it in.

Ella: See, if you look closely, you can see the folks from boolprop watching us.

Ginny is a virtuoso (mooch, virtuoso, unlucky) so I thought I'd have her join Jin's band when she's a teen, but she's been rolling wants to paint so I figured, why not, until she's old enough for something else.
In other news, imaginary friends are creepy.

I had Ella throw a small house party and invite Joshue, since that was apparently the next step of the opportunity. Issy showed up, and she's not even showing yet! She is pregnant again, though.

The party was a disaster, mostly because she ignored all her guests, but it seemed to have worked for the opportunity. All that's left is to report in.

Ella rolled the wish to spend $10,000 remodeling the house, and I'd been meaning to turn the grandparents' room into a proper study and give them a nicer bedroom in the basement, so I took the opportunity to do it.

There's space for someone to do homework in here, and now there are two computers instead of just one that Coke always hogs.

We've also got reading chairs and bookcases!

Downstairs, I gave the grandparents their own little suite. They have three single beds on one side...

And a little changing area on the other, with a dresser and mirror, but also a bookcase and sofa.

Hello family tv time again! I think I could re-do this room to be more conducive to a big family watching tv together, but they need more money in the bank for this. All in all the renovations this chapter have cost the family $50,000.

Coke seems to like his new study, though. I think it was worth it just to get those white walls out of there.

And now... it's time for Ginny to grow up!

Ginny: I'm going to be old enough to play an instrument now, right?
That's right.

Woo, party time! I didn't bother to throw a real party, but the family's big enough that it's sort of like a party, yeah?

At this moment I got a slew of notifications:

Bran and Soo Jin Kahm-Starr had their accidental baby, a girl named Carey. Soo Jin is still the slayer, in case you forgot (like I did).

Wade is still dating Lilith Pleasant. Pedro is no longer the bully, now that he's grown up to teen. Torrey is a toddler now.

I... err... have a new favorite.

I spent forever on her outfit, so I'm going to show it to you right away. Isn't it AWESOME?!

Okay, so at this point I was going to have an heir poll, but then I had an idea. Ginny and Jin are going to form a band, why don't I make them double heirs and have them both stick around for a while?

Thoughts? Should I name Ginny heiress, have double heirs, have a poll, or do something else entirely? Please let me know what you think!

Generation Japanese, Chapter Six - Part Two

2011-08-28T09:04:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, I took so many pictures that I needed to split the wedding into a separate post. Make sure you read the first half first.

Click on any picture to make it larger!

The wedding is being held at the little chapel, which I'm so glad I downloaded. It's a gorgeous lot!

Anyway... Ella and Vivian showed up early to take some wedding pictures.

Vivi's dress is from the store (and it was totally worth buying it, btw) and Ella's dress is from one of the expansions, I think? (Nightlife?)

Anyway, without further ado, their wedding photos:

Huh, I thought I took more than that. I guess not. Anyway, at this point the guests had started arriving, so everyone moved inside the chapel.

Random shot of Coke's formalwear!

The guests love it!

The exchanging of the rings...

Gosh, they're gorgeous.

Issy: Aww...
Joy: Cho-king
Immy: Where am I?
One of Georgie's daughters: Booo Indy! BOOO!

Yes, I invited the daughters of one of her ex-lovers to her wedding. They're friends of Coke's! Besides, they chose to show up.

For pretty much the entire wedding Immy just stood there and stared in the wrong direction.

Same with H. She got pretty turned around. What is wrong with my elders?
Hey look, Jin is in the background! That counts as face time, right?

Chantal Starr was also in attendance. Domingo (dating Iato, enemy of Iella) and Theladry(the other triplet who never shows up to anything) were not there. Neither was Bran Starr or Georgie McClean, for that matter. I didn't think that was a good idea, exactly...

I like Joy's formal wear... but she did this through the entire ceremony.

And since I've shown you everyone else in the family, here's Ginny. She's cute.

Another shot of our lovely couple...

But the wedding isn't over! Now that the ceremony is over, it's time for the reception!

While the adults stood around and talked, or got a plate for dinner, both Ginny and Jin decided to preside over their royal court... together.

It was super cute. These two haven't had much interaction, but they get along really well.

Jin: I am the king!

Ginny: But I am the queen! And I'm taller than you!

While the kids played, the newly married couple stole a moment together.
Vivian: This day has been almost perfect, but I have one more surprise for you...

Ella: For me? They smell like flowers!

Vivian: *eyeroll* When is Lady Blue going to stop using that stupid line?

Poor H had to go to work as soon as the ceremony was over, but Immy and Coke danced together enough for her.
I was particularly thrilled that not only did Immy and H get "Mother of the Bride" moodlets, but Coke got a "Father of the Bride" moodlet as well! Yay for happy trios!

Uh... Joy, aren't you a little young to be drinking that?
Joy: It's juice.

The brides enjoyed a lovely dance together.

As it started to get later, Ginny and Jin started a game of tag with some other guests.

I was disappointed that Wade and Pedro didn't come, I wanted them to meet their cousins. We'll have to go visit them sometime.

Aww... part of the happy family.

Hey, I actually managed a family portrait (sans H, who was still at work). Not often that I get the whole family in one room!

Oh wow I love my lighting mod.
Vivian: I love you.

Ella: I'm glad you stalked me for the entirety of your teen years.

Coke: What was I doing again? Hey, boobies!
Ah, dysfunctional legacy families, what would I do without them.

Woah, Joy... You look a lot like your mother at your age.

Ella.
Joy.
Thoughts?

As the last guests left, the family sat down to have dinner before they left. They paid for it already, after all.

Not everyone sat together, though.

The little ones were still playing.

Cutie pies. I think we're having an heir poll after all.
...in six days, when Ginny is finally a teen.

Aww, Ella moved tables to go talk with her wife!

With all the guests gone I sent everyone else home and gave the girls one last moment alone before returning to the chaos of everyday life.

I love the little look Ella is giving her!

Aww...

Okay girls, that's enough!

Umm... let's leave them to it, shall we?

Next time... hopefully (sorry) an elder will die, imaginary friends will become real, and we'll probably have some birthdays. Also: we consider the possibility of more babies, Vivian goes out to meet celebrities, and we introduce the cousins.
See you then!

Generation Japanese, Chapter Six - Part One

2011-08-26T17:11:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, I promised you a wedding but decided to wait for Ella and Vivian's days off; Joy, Jin, and Ginny grew up; Lucky was going to become real, but didn't; and we waited for the elders to die.

Click on any picture to make it larger

Vivi had an opportunity to read this book for work, and I had her do it. She's moving ahead on her career pretty slowly. I realize that she should probably get some fame stars, but with the full household I haven't had much time to manage her.
Luckily, just recently Iato and Indy both gained a star (along with Domingo Starr, I think?)

Also, update on the spares: Iato broke up with Domingo and started dating Becky Baker-Holiday (Topher's mother) then he broke up with Becky and started dating Domingo, who I just remembered is Ella's enemy. I believe Iato and Domingo are expecting an accidental baby. Indy and Nina Caliente are still very much in love. Isola is dating Topher again. Issy and Topher are expecting another (accidental) baby, but Issy is still meeting with the gigolo (Daniel Pleasant) on occasion. Their oldest child, Wade, is dating Lilith Pleasant. Pedro, the now middle child has become the town bully.

Also, Bran Starr started dating the slayer, Soo Jin Kahm. They had a shotgun wedding when Soo Jin got pregnant. I think I need to change the odds on the risky woohoo...

Speaking of the babies, Ginny plays with Kostya every day, and she loves him.

Joy has been taking care of Ginny, even though you'd think with three elders in the house there would always be someone to watch her.

Hey look, it's family TV time.

There's no real point to this photo, other than to notice the disbanding of family TV time. I'm not sure why I keep photographing it, other than the fact that I've never had a family that loves the TV as much as this one.

Ginny's birthday arrived faster than I expected it to!

I let her keep her hair. I'm not sure how I feel about her looks (kind of blah) but I guess we'll just wait and see.

My poor kids keep having this problem that if they get on the bus after 8:03 they don't arrive in school in time for their field-trip. So even if they arrive at school before it starts, they get in trouble for missing the trip (which they were on time for! Argh!)

Jin: Ah, fresh clothes...

Ella: What the Frac were you thinking?! RAAAAGE!

Jin: WTF?!

This is your regular reminder that one of the elders is still alive. Hello Coke.

Ella had an opportunity to talk to Cassandra Lothario (that's right, she married Don) for work, and I think Ms. Lothario is pregnant.

Then Ella had to go talk to this guy, but he had to be at work so she needs to chase after him later.

Kostya became real (finally).

Ginny and Kostya are pretty cute. I wonder if I'll have space in the house for both Kostya and Lucky to become real.

Family dinner! That almost never happens. It's rare that more than one person is hungry at the same time.

I feel bad for poor, neglected Jin. I wanted a ginger baby so bad, and I got one, and then I didn't give him the attention he deserved. I'm sorry, Jin!

I'm getting sick of everything breaking all the time. While we wait for Imogen to die (sad, but true) she's upgrading everything to unbreakable. It seems like at least one shower is always broken around here.

Finally, someone in the house is using the hot tub! I almost forgot they had one!

Fixing things in her bathing suit. Again.

Elsewhere... Ella's becoming an adult!

The first birthday I forgot about... but also the first sparkle dance I've captured. That must count for something, right Ell?
Ella: Frac-off, it took you ten generations before you didn't give someone cake.

I did change her hair. I don't like when YA look the same as adults. I think this is cute, and more mature.

I have no idea why I took this photo.
H: Zzz... Home...

Ella, with her new hair, invents some more. Eventually I'm going to have to stick her back on the chemistry table to make another potion for Kostya, but it's not a big deal until at least two elders die.

I'm not sure what to do with Ginny, so I kind of let her wander around on her own. She plays with Kostya a lot, or just seems to wander about the lot. I need to do a better job of taking care of the kids.

Meanwhile, Vivian is practicing her charisma skill. I promise I'll send her out to meet celebrities soon.

It's the night before the wedding, and Joy is actually doing her homework autonomously.

The next day... Well, I had a huge wedding for Vivian and Ella, and took a ton of pictures, so I'm going to post the wedding as a separate update. But don't worry, I'm writing that right after, so it should be up soon!
Thanks for reading!

Generation Japanese, Chapter Five

2011-08-24T10:51:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Ella had a daughter named Ginny who got no face time, Ella and Vivi got engaged, and Joy grew up but then the game crashed again.

This is Ginny. Now you've seen her. Moving on.

My saved file was getting huge, so I moved the family earlier than I intended. Like everyone else ever, I moved them to legacy island. I love this place, with all the old sims.

As you can see, the house is on a bigger lot, so I did some renovations. I added a tool shed in the garden which will eventually go down to the basement (oh yeah, I'm building a basement) and also a little deck with a hot-tub.

Ella and Vivi weren't engaged in this 'hood, so I moved her in instead and gave her a bit of a make-over.

They're so cute together! Still in just as much love as before.

Ella: So, Viv, is that still a yes?

Vivi: lol no

Ella: Wat.

Ella: Let's hug for a while...

...

Ella: So, Vivi...

Ella: How about now? Marry me?

Ella: Please?

Vivi: Okay, I guess.

Meanwhile, just down the path, Coke teaches Jin to talk.

For some reason, Lucky and Joy weren't good friends any more, and he became a doll again. Grr... So she sat down to play for hours. She was growing up the next day, so...

H paints Vivi's portrait. We lost all the paintings in the move (argh!) so it's time to repaint Ella's as well...

Finally engaged, Ella has that bachelorette party she always wanted. Since they're new to town, and Ella has slept with half the people they know, most of the party was her brother dancing alone in an empty room.
During the party we learned that Bran and his wife became elders then broke up.

Ella showed up late for her own party, since she was busy taking care of Jin right before she left.

After the party, Ella hung around the club and had a few drinks.
Ella: I'm getting married.

Ella: Hey, pretty vampire!
Shush, your dating days are over!

Spares update: Iato broke up with Ricky and started dating Domingo Starr (Joy's half-sister). Indy is now dating Nina Caliente. Isola broke up with Topher again, and has been receiving the services of Daniel Pleasant, town gigolo. Both of Issy's sons are now children, I should get the family to visit them so you can see, they look a lot like their father from what I've seen.

Back at home, we're biding our time until the weekend. Vivi wants to top the acting career, and Ella's finally working on her LTW to top the medical career, so they're both busy until the weekend. Which is fine by me, since then the kids will be a bit older and the wedding will be easier to manage.

Speaking of...
Vivi: Yeah, it's birthday time!

Joy, Jin, and Ginny are all growing up today! For real this time.

Jin is pretty cute! I love the tan freckly skin. He kind of looks like a girl, though (the hair didn't help).

This time I gave Joy a slightly different make-over. She looks a lot like her mum when she doesn't have her glasses, but with her father's hair and nose.
By the way she rolled nurturing, so now she's evil, insane, unlucky, and nurturing.

All three kids have red eyes~! I like that hair, too.

Luckily, Lucky aged up with Joy, so he's not gone for good! Unfortunately, she still needs to improve her relationship with him.

Ginny also got an imaginary friend. This time I gave him a name myself. His name is Constantine, Kostya for short. (I've been reading Anna Karenina all summer, it put me in the mood for Russian nicknames.)

Joy (who I keep accidentally calling Ella): I lurve you!
Coke: Am I interrupting?

Immy is still alive, I swear! She's nearing 90, though, and the family could really use the extra household space. It turns out, Lucky can't turn real until one of the elders dies. Frammit.

I should confess, I thought I already knew who I wanted for heir before Ginny grew up. I wanted Joy to marry Lucky and take over. But Jin is pretty cute and could pass on the freckly skin, and Ginny also has an imaginary friend, so... I don't know any more. We may have a poll this generation after all.

Upstairs...
Ella: Weddings!

Family tv time is a sacred bond in this family. They all gather around and-
wait, did I give Ella and Vivian the same pjs?

Vivi: Well, if you paid any attention to science...

While Vivi was on a potty break, Joy took her seat.
Joy: Me...
Someone get that girl a sandwich!

Whoa, what the heck is that? Jin, did you do this?

Aww, siblings.

Joy: Say science. Science!

Joy: Uh, toothbrush?
Ginny: Toof!

And that's all I have! So not everything I promised, I guess. Next time... A wedding (probably), someone dies (probably), and Lucky finally becomes real (maybe)!

Generation Japanese, Chapter Four

2011-08-22T08:33:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Ella had a freckly ginger son and then got pregnant with Vivi's baby.

And we open with a shot of a pregnant Ella doing laundry. I know it's been a long time since the last chapter, but now I'm out of work for two weeks before I go back to school, so hopefully things can speed along here.

Ella was invited to Vivi's party and of course she went. Vivian won the poll to determine Ella's spouse*, so I sent Ella straight to flirt with her.

*complete poll results: Vivian 3, Georgie 2, Bran 1, No spouse 1

Ella: I'm having your baby, bb! You should break up with Miranda!
Vivi: Good point.

They are adorable, but Vivi kept rejecting Ella's proposals to go steady, so eventually she just went home.

Meanwhile... I forget why I took this picture, but Joy is pretty cute, yeah?

Joy is fond of masterminding plots with Lucky.
Joy: Here's the plan...

Ella: 'sup, still pregnant.

Ella went over to Vivi's house once again, to see if she was in a better mood, but she was still unhappy from the party. Gah.

Coke, meanwhile, plays with the adorable (FRECKLY GINGER!) Jin.

B'aw.

I forget why I took this picture... maybe it was to show that Immy is still around?

During this chapter, H got up to level four in the culinary career. I don't know if she's going to make her LTW before she dies. I'll have to try it again with another sim and actually put a lot of effort into it.

BABY! Ah!

Ella: DAMN YOU VIVIAN WILLIAMS!

She had a girl, but for some reason I don't have a picture of the baby. Anyway, I named the new girl Jini, meaning Mercy. I'll be calling her Ginny from now on.

Once again, Ella went to Vivian's place, and this time they were both in a good mood.
Ella: Go steady with me?
Vivi: Duh.

Vivian: FLOWERS AGAIN?! They smell like-
Ella: I know, flowers. Just take them.

We wasted no time. These two aren't getting any younger.

Vivi: Whatever could it be?

Vivi: OMG MY STALKING PAID OFF!

Ella: Is that a yes?

Vivi: Duh.

LESBIANS!** (Well, a lesbian and a bisexual, but that doesn't have the same ring to it.)

** Every time we passed a lesbian couple on the street, my ex-girlfriend used to exclaim "LESBIANS!" We got a lot of dirty looks, but it was kind of funny. We live in a small town, so it's rare to see other queer people.

Then Vivian peed herself.

Sunday was Joy's birthday, and I was also aging the baby up!

I did actually age them up, but after Joy's make-over the game threw another error 12.
Joy: Hah, my birthdays glitch your game!

Yeah. Anyway, the save file was getting huge, and I was planning on moving everyone to a new 'hood soon anyway (though I planned on doing it for the next generation). So I've packed everyone up and moved... but haven't started playing that 'hood yet. That's next chapter. But just to taunt you... here are the photos of what happened before that error 12.

Next time... Joy grows up, AGAIN! Lucky becomes real! Ginny actually gets some face time! A gay wedding! And probably some other stuff too, I haven't really played it yet.

Generation Japanese, Chapter Three

2011-08-05T11:46:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Iella got pregnant and will hopefully have ginger babies!

Just a little update on the spares, Isola and Topher had a son Wade, then broke up. They got back together, and had another son named Pedro. Isola is now the town bike, but I think she and Topher are still together anyway. Iato and Ricky are still dating, no signs of marrying yet.

Ginger babies! This baby better be ginger.

Meanwhile, it's Joy's birthday.
Joy: What, you don't love me because I'm not ginger?
I... didn't say that.

Joy's birthday was a complete disaster. The game slowed down to a crawl, and by the time she got to the cake everyone at the party had left already. Then Ella wouldn't take her to the cake. She'd get there and then put her on the ground. It ended with all the adults standing around her and staring at the toddler on the floor. Finally I cheated to age her up.

I love her. I love her eyes. I love her hair. I love her rhinestone glasses.

Joy is evil, insane, and unlucky.

Lucky didn't age up yet, so they played together a bit.

And then, during a tea party...

Lucky: I feel funny!
Joy: Oh look, juice!

Joy tells Lucky about all her evil plots.

Since she's insane, the family doesn't seem to find anything out of the ordinary with her talking to her imaginary friend.

And then autosave failed, and the game threw an error 12.
Joy: Wat.
I had to replay the past few days. Ugh.

Random photo of Immy working out.

I feel like Coke doesn't get a lot of screentime, but honestly, writing isn't that interesting. He spends all his time parked right here, in front of the pictures of him and his wives.

Ella: Hey Georgie, I've got some news for you. I'm pregnant.

Ella: Tell me you'll leave your wife and help me raise this baby... WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S THE SLAYER?!

So Ella called someone else instead.

What, what, what are you doing?
Ella: Waiting for my date.

Umm... Ell?

I thought she was a little young for you.
Vivi: I just turned YA, and besides, I told you I don't have any problem with this. I can make my own decisions. Also, FLOWERS! They smell like flowers! How could I say no?

Ella snags a first kiss.

Then she goes into labor.

It's a little boy! He's a grumpy virtuoso, and his name is Jin'ai, which means Benevolence in Japanese.

Infants are boring, and he's growing up the next day.

More photos of Coke writing. Hello Coke!

Jin is sharing a birthday with Indy.

Hopefully the cake won't glitch this time.

Holy Chimeree... Indy grows up... just as pretty as he was before. Wow. Okay.
Too bad he's not technically in the bloodline.

Indy stuck around for cake, then booked it out of there. It was hard to say goodbye, but I had to let him go.

FRECKLES! AND HE'S GINGER! JIN'AI IS A FRECKLY GINGER BABY!

And remember to remove baby before washing his shirt.

Vivi is the only guest at the party, since she and Ella never got to finish their date.

Um, guys, in front of the children? Really?

Vivi is never nude, and they made weird, never nude woohoo in the shower.

H reached level 5 of sports (her second career) so I had her switch to culinary. I'm not sure if she's got time to complete her LTW, however.

It's costume time!

Lucky: What are you wearing?
Joy: I'm a prince!
Lucky: I wish I could be a prince too.

Lucky: I want to be real!
Joy: It's okay, Lucky, Mom has a potion to make you real. She said you could have it as soon as I'm a teenager, because teen imaginary friends are creepy.

So Joy and Lucky played all day, with Joy in her new prince costume.

Joy: Ow.

Obligatory lol at pillow fights with imaginary friends.

Wait, Ella's pregnant again! This is certainly becoming a familiar situation.
Ella: Shurrup.
Just then I got a notification that Vivi was involved with Miranda Alto.

Now, before I leave you here, I have a poll up trying to decide who Ella should marry. It's on boolprop, or you can vote here. The poll ends in four days from posting here. Click here to vote.

Generation Japanese, Chapter Two

2011-08-05T09:55:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Ella had a baby girl named Joy and the family moved to a new house!

Have I mentioned that I love this lighting mod?

I don't think I've shown you Indy's tattoos recently. So yeah, here they are.

Obligatory Generations squee! THEY HAVE CANES NOW!
Wait, what's that in the background.

Dorky wall hangings! Yay!

I let Ella take Joy to the park, hoping to find a good spouse there.

On their way, they also practiced townie-impaling toddler-acrobatics.

That's better. What are you pointing at, Joy?
Joy: GLITCH!

At this point, the game would freeze and/or crash, every time. 3:10 pm, Saturday afternoon. Finally I took out some CC and updated all my mods, and it started working. I loaded up a previous save and started Saturday again.

Ella: The old nursery followed us!
Uh, no, it's just the same paintings from the old house, I put them in your inventory, remember?

Joy: Ignore her, she's an idiot.

Joy: *is still cute, even in the new house*

Joy: I love you, Lucky! Some day I wanna marry you!
Careful what you say around here, little one!

Later... Toddler fail! So sad. :(

H has been cooking lately, trying to build skills. Also, I love the kitchen.

Sometimes Immy cooks too. I'm not really sure what to do with her now that she's reached her LTW.

Kiiiitchen.

Coke spends most of his days just wandering around, staring into space. It's kind of sad.

Oh hai, pretty lady.

Look who just moved in next-door! Quick, Ella, introduce yourself! I want his ginger babies in my legacy.
Ella: But-
FRECKLY GINGER BABIES

Ella: But that's his daughter in the background. He's a father of three.
That didn't stop you with Bran.

I don't know what's happening here.

I do know what's going on here.
Come on, you two!
Ella: I thought you wanted me to woohoo with him?
NOT IN YOUR PARENTS' ROOM!

Aww...

Wow, he's got some beautiful eyes!

This is the kiss that got Ella a "naughty" reputation. Like mother(s and father) like daughter.

Come on, guys, your mother is sleeping right there!

There we go... is that a lullaby I hear? A FRECKLY GINGER LULLABY?

Pretty people...

Ella: I feel... like vomiting.
Joy: Oh God, not on me!

With that taken care of... it's time to train this one!

Georgie: HUNGRY!
Then go home! Weirdo.

Georgie: Hungry.

Random shot of Indy, to remind you he still exists.

I bought Joy one of these things, for some grandparent bonding time.

It's the now familiar, I-just-got-Generations-aren't-toddlers-cute-now? montage.

Ella has discovered all the potions possible, and Coke's royalties are finally adding up, so she's inventing again, while she can.
Since her LTW is career related, I've decided to wait until after she's done having kids before getting her a job, so that she can go straight to work without waiting on the end of maternity leave.

Let's just hope she doesn't burn to death before then.

Oh, look who just sproinged! Another little one is on the way!

Next time, more babies!

Generation Japanese, Chapter One

2011-07-29T14:39:00.000-07:00

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

2011-07-24T17:24:00.000-07:00

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!

Generation Italian, Chapter Nine

2011-07-21T09:29:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Indy grew up cute, Issy caught fire, and H forgot to pay the bills. I thought Ella might win the heir poll, and I was right.
Issy got 0 votes, Iato got 1 vote, and Ella got 10 votes. Clearly, Ella wins.

Issy: No one voted for me?
I don't get it either. I love Ella, but Issy is pretty, ya'll.

Ella: ...why am I in formal wear?
No idea. But there was a debate at school, so maybe it was that? Ella became debate club president, and since she officially became heiress, I made her display in the mausoleum.

Her prom picture, her gavel, one of her potions, and an invention! I'm sure there will be more to add, but here it is for now.
It must be weird to grow up walking through a hall decorated with all your things and an open spot for your urn when you die. No wonder legacy kids are a little special.

Not really sure why I took this picture.

Ditto on this one. I'm sure there was a thought when I took it.

I made Indy this cute little room on the other side of the courtyard. I like this house, but I'm also a bit concerned they've expanded too fast. Between the maid and the bills, they usually only have $3 in the bank.

Paintings are helping, but since I've been keeping more of them on display...

And I just built a new laundry room. I suppose that could contribute. Issy demonstrates.

H demonstrates our pretty kitchen, again. Damn, she's skinny!

Coke: Wait, was she back there before?

I love this damn expensive house.

Ella was having a lot of trouble spouse hunting, so I decided to let her look at girls too. She went to visit this girl, who happens to live in the Chimeree legacy house right down the street.

Preeeeeetty.

Preeeetty. I gave her a make-over and forgot to take a photo of the before. She actually looks good in the Malfoy hair. Then I realized I forgot to change her eyeshadow.

There you go. Her name is Vivian Williams, and she's pretty.

Issy: Zzz... TIRED!
But you're already asleep!

Iato: Money?
Yeah, still running low on money, kiddo.

Ella ran into Vivi at the park while searching for other viable candidate.

Vivi: You love my face.

Oh God, the pretty. Imagine the pretty multi-colored-haired babies they could have.

Vivi: Oh yeah, I've only just turned into a teen, lawl.
Ella: Um, my YA birthday's tomorrow. I should be going.

I forgot that Indy was insane.

Go on, Indy, say something crazy.
Indy: ...I decline.

Random shot of Iato.

There was an award ceremony at the school, and Ella got a participation trophy for debate, so I updated her display.

Ella: I'm pretty. :)

Iato: So... dinner is awesome.

Iato: Oh hey, Issy, I didn't see you there. Anyway, dinner is awesome.

Ella: None of us has ever been fishing, so let's talk about it. Smiley face.
Issy: OMG

Ella: What?
Issy: I forgot.

Ella: ...fools.

Ella: I'm still pretty.

Issy: Wait, I had a thought!

Issy: Isn't it our birthday?

Actually... that's correct! Birthday time!

The three teens are going to be YA!

Coke: OMG, I'm so happy!

First, our heiress. Okay, I'm sold. Ella's beautiful. Her eyes look so wide! And I love her new hair.

She has a really funny nose, though.

Seriously pretty, though. Our heiress now wants to top the medical career.

I still love Issy, though.

She also has the funky nose, btw.

Here's Iato as a YA.

He also has the nose, so...

Next time, I have no clue. This is literally the last photo I took. I haven't played any more at all. So... maybe spouses? Generation Japanese babies? Anything?

Generation Italian, Chapter Eight

2011-07-18T05:43:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Issy won prom queen, Ella threw a party, and the parents were going to be home any minute.

Oh hello, there they are!

Coke yelled at Issy and Immy yelled at Ella, but somehow Iato got off easy.

Midway through Coke's lecture, I installed new default faces. I was unsure of it at first, but I think they're a good fit.

In other news, I'm an idiot. I kept complaining that the lighting mod I had installed made my nights too dark: turns out I had the "darker" version installed. I installed the balanced version instead and we're all set now.

Oh, right, I also finally installed that painting mod everyone and their mother has. It's kind of a problem, since now I don't sell paintings as much anymore.

H and Immy show of the new kitchen.

Eventually there will be a little breakfast nook over there, but first I'm saving up to put in another bathroom and a bedroom for Indy when he grows up.

I call this room the future mausoleum. Each heir(ess) and spouse gets a shelf and two wall spaces. One for their portrait, one for miscellaneous things like their diploma, a medal, skill mastery plaques, etc. The shelves are for lights, urns, and anything else interesting in their inventories. H has her flowers from Immy on display.
But the real reason for this photo is to show Ella is chatting with a boy on the phone. His name is Estevan, I believe (I really should write these things down).

Have you seen this girl's face? With the new skins it's even more gorgeous.
At the time of writing there are only a few hours left on the poll, and Ella is winning by a landslide. We'll proceed with the assumption that she will win, since she will unless something drastic happens.

Seriously, this face, look at it.

Ella: My face is pretty, Estevan. Come over and look at it.
Estevan: No thanks. I'm cool.

Ella: But the sun will set soon, and the new lighting mod will make it really pretty for my first kiss.
Estevan: I'll pass.

Ella: But-but your picture in my relationship panel makes it look like you're a catch.
Estevan: Pass, I say!

He is the only mildly-attractive teen in Ella's relationship panel that one of her siblings isn't dating. This is a problem. *hands on hips*

Issy: What about me, do your new faces make me more pretty?
Prettier, and not really. I like Issy the best spouse-, jaw-line- and hobby-wise, but Ella is winning me over.

Iato: And me?
I'm sorry, what were you saying? What's that behind him?

H: zzz... Death...
Hopefully not for a long time, hon.

I zoomed in to see if Immy looked better with the new face, but she kept covering her face with her hand. The view inside behind her reminds me, I wanted to download more clutter for their house. There are only a couple more rooms I want to add before they can start wasting money on making the house even prettier.

And now, cute toddler spam with Indy.

Indy: Oh yeah, I'm cute.

Immy: Rubbish...

Coke: Rubbish...

H: OMG!

H: I was supposed to pay the bills!
Tongue piercing! :)

...wait, WHAT?!

Oh no no no no!

NOOOOOOO I ACTUALLY USE THAT!

Later:
Issy: What smells like burning?

Issy: OMG, it's ME!
Gosh, you're skinny.

Anyway, it's time for birthdays! Indy's growing up into a child (finally). Coke gets to take him to the cake, even though I don't think they've ever interacted at all.
Coke: This is mine?!

Coke: I don't remember making this!

Oh wow... Coke makes cute babies.
Indy: I'm hot.
He grew up in his pjs, so you'll have to wait until next time to see his every-day.

And that's it! Next time... I have no clue, because I haven't played ahead at all. I assume that the teens will grow up and Ella will go spouse hunting.

Maybe even successfully this time.

Generation Italian, Chapter Seven

2011-07-15T14:11:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, baby Indirizzo was born, the kids became teens, and I started an heir poll, which will end on Monday so get your votes in!

Iato and Isola were also trying to woo dates for prom. I forgot this girl's name, but let's call her Emily. Because that way she has a name.

Issy was woo-ing her childhood friend, Topher (aka Tee). At least she was, until...
Tee: I'm dating someone.
Issy: Who?
Tee: Malika.

Damn you Malika!
Come on, prom's tomorrow, where is she going to find another guy this late at night?

Back on the front porch... Iato is having more luck with, um, Emily.

Until she wouldn't take his flowers. Who doesn't want flowers? They smell like flowers!
Emily: I have a boyfriend.
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGH.

Out of spite I had all three teens start to snub Emily, and sent her home. Iato was only barely friends with her anyway.
But I had worked hard to make Tee Issy's best friend.

So I launched operation break-up Topher and Malika.

This interaction is so cute! It'd be better if there were more light outside, but that will come with the changes I have planned for the house.

After moving them inside for better lighting...
Will he take the flowers?

He does! Yes!

I took a ton of pictures of their courtship. I'll try not to spam you with them, but I think Issy and Tee are super cute.

Issy: So, you know that Malika girl, I don't like her, you should break up with her and date me instead.

Tee: Sure thing! Malika might hate you, though.

Issy: Don't. Care.

Issy: You are like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Tee: That's... sweet. Are you going to ask me to prom now? Because I didn't break up with Malika just to go without a date.

Oh Topher, those lips. Hopefully he'll grow into them.

And, just for good measure, they went steady too.

H: Okay, if I'm leaving for work, that means it's 4 am. Time to say goodnight, kids!
Issy: I wanna hold your hand.

Elsewhere, Ella is brewing potions, determined not to waste her time on this sort of thing.

Iato went right to bed when Emily left, spurned from love.

This shot is to show you that I have finally turned the stupid pixelated blur off, and is in no way creepy. Moving on.

It's a cake! You know what that means!

Indy looks a lot like his mom, but I think he's a good mix of both parents. Only time will tell, of course.

That afternoon...
Issy: It's prom tonight, and I'm the only one with a date- where did everyone go?
Apparently, Coke won a free vacation for all three parents. They all left the teens alone to take care of Indy.
Iato: No fair!
Ella: No, I think we can use this to our advantage... *evil grin*

The girls ran off to get ready. That dress is a little short there, Issy.

Ella's dress is much more classic, though it does border on bridal, hon.
Ella: Whatever.

She called everyone she knew to make sure they knew: party at the Alphabetacy-Chimeree-Ellis household, the day after prom at 5:00.
While that was going on, Iato got a phone call inviting him to prom. Who asked him?

Ricky Hart. Is that a guy or a girl?

Question answered.
Ricky: I am secure enough in my masculinity to wear pigtails.
No wonder Iato didn't hit it off with Emily.

Iato went to prom with Ricky. They had their first kiss together at the dance, and were completely adorable. Iato had a great time, and their prom picture together is super cute.

I got lots of notifications that Issy and Tee were having a lot of fun together, and then Issy won prom queen!

Ella did not have the perfect night her siblings did. She got into two fights over someone stepping on her toes while dancing.

Back at home, the dejected babysitter amuses himself by attacking Indy with the claw.
Babysitter Sam: Damn legacy kids always get all the fun.

Indy: Someday, I will be a heart breaker.

Indy: Nom nom nom.
In case you missed it, the reason why he is not on the heir poll is because neither of his parents (Imogen and Coke) are the heir.

Once they were home, I let the kids hangout in their formal-wear for a bit, to make sure their prom photos showed them in the right clothes.

There is no point to this photo, it's just pretty.

Issy: ...

Issy: THE CLAW!

Issy: I actually kind of like this baby.

Before the party started, the teens got all set up in the new wing. There's a half-finished kitchen there, which soon their old kitchen will be moved into. But first, the teens added a bar, a dance floor, lights, and music. I set it to blacklight, even though it made everything look really strange.

Issy: I don't know what I'm doing!
I'm sure you'll figure it out as you go along.

Ella and Iato danced while waiting for guests.
Ella: This beat is catchy!
Iato: Are you sure this is a good idea?

The first guest to arrive was Tee, and he was also the first guest to leave.
Tee: This party sucks, I'm out of here.
He was so fast I didn't get a picture of him, so have a shot of Domingo Starr looking confused.

It wasn't long before Ella's antics started to disrupt the party.
Ella: Boo, Emily sucks! Your freckles glow in the dark and you don't appreciate flirts about rubbish!

Seriously, what is with that face?
I'm never turning blacklights on again!

Ella: LOSER!
Emily: Um, isn't this your brother's battle, not yours?

Ella: He's too busy dancing with his recently-made-over boyfriend, Ricky.

Iato: Lawl, my teeth glow.

Ella: Emily Whatever-your-name-is, you're super pretty and you should have gone out with my brother when you had the chance.
Emily: You mean the one that's gay or the one that's a toddler?

RAGE

Too bad Ella lost the fight. She declared Emily an enemy and kicked her out.

She tried to resume dancing like before and act like everything was normal, but it clearly wasn't.
The party didn't break up until 5 the next morning, after going for 12 hours.

When she went to shower, she was humiliated to find dye had been planted there.

This unsuspecting guest found another prank on the computer.

Oh, that's not a guest, that's the maid! Serves you right for trying to use our computer when you should be working. Now go clean! The adults will be home any minute now!

Next time: will the kids get in trouble? Probably. Will there be birthdays? Most likely. Will we have an heir? Not until Monday!
Remember, go to the boolprop poll to vote for the heir!

Generation Italian, Chapter Six

2011-07-14T16:08:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, I got Generations, Immy got pregnant, and she gave H some flowers that smell like flowers.

H: Oh. Emm. Gee. FLOWERS!

And now it's time for birthdays!

H still looks the same, but a bit older.

Ella grows up very pretty! Our rebellious genius joined debate and study clubs.

Issy is pretty adorable, but I'm concerned that she looks too much like Immy. Issy joined the drama and art clubs.

Iato senses that I dislike him.
Iato: You forgot to take a photo of me in CAS.
Well, there is that. Grumpy pants joined shop and sports clubs.

I sent him over to the treadmill right away.

Immy is still working on her LTW, trying to max logic and handiness. I'm a little nervous to let her try handiness while pregnant (please don't die!) so she's chained to the chess board.

Issy has discovered that she can sculpt now that she's a teen.

Coke is still noveling, btw.

Even when he's gardening, he's thinking of noveling.

That night...
Imogen: HOLY FRAC!

It's a boy! His name is Indirizzo, which means address in Italian.

With Generations, you now can take infants and toddlers out in the stroller.

Am I the only one to find this animation creepy?

Uh, not as creepy as H is here.

Immy was invited to this woman's party, and she let baby Indy come along. He lay on the floor for a while before I got bored and sent them home.

The teens demonstrate their new beds.
Issy: Bed.
Yes, bed. Go to sleep, kiddo.
Issy: ...Bed.

Once again, it's time for spouse hunting at the school. This girl's name is Malika.

Umm... no thanks.

Maybe with a make-over?

You're a little young for us, hon, but your hair is awesome. Please breed.

Coke: Wait, my kids are teens now?
Little late to the party, there, aren't you?

There is no point to this picture, other than to show that H is cute when she exercises.

I sent the Italian kids out spouse-hunting again, but Sunset Valley is oddly devoid of viable options (and so early, too).
This adorable girl, by the way, is Theladry Starr's sister, Domingo Starr.
Please breed. Please.

Oh, that might work! Iato knows her, too. I forget her name, but she's seriously cute and freckly, so that might just work.
By the way, the reason why I'm so set on finding them pairs so soon in teenhood is because prom is on Wednesday.
It's Tuesday.

While still searching for men-folk, I realized that Issy was already good friends with Tee (whose real name is Topher Baker, by the way). He just grew up to teen, so I decided to see what he was like. She called him, but he said to call in a few hours, so she had some time to waste.

So what's she doing at this house, then?

Issy: I'm having a mood swing, and I wanted to egg their house.
Do you even know them?
Issy: ...no.

Issy: Awesome.

Back at home, Iato calls up that girl with the freckles whose name I don't remember.

Iella, meanwhile, has decided to skip the whole prom-date finding madness. She'll go on her own to prom, and probably have a great time. And be well rested, too!

Isola, however, has been picked up by the cops for egging the house, and is in a lot of trouble!

Immy: That's it, missy! You are GROUNDED!
Issy: But Mo-om, prom is tomorrow.

Issy: Tee is standing outside right now and I want to ask him out! If you ground me now, it will ruin my whole life.
Immy: Well, I guess I could let you off just this once, since it's prom. Just don't do it again.

Damn, Tee grew up in weird hair.

There, I fixed it. Couldn't resist. He's actually pretty cute when he's dressed properly.

Looks like Iato's potential date has arrive too.
Iato: Rubbish!

I have enough for this chapter to go on twice as long, but I'm going to cut it off here because I want to give this generation time for an heir poll!

Will it be Iella, the rebellious nerd...

Generation Italian, Chapter Five

2011-07-10T07:37:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, the kids grew up, and Coke and Immy got married.

The wedding was beautiful, by the way.

Time waits for no man, however! Immy, aren't you supposed to be maxing handiness and logic?
"Have to burn off the wedding cake!"
Immy, at this point I didn't have Generations yet, there is no wedding cake.

I've been giving H lots of different skill points, since I don't really know what careers she's going to do (probably athlete, since she already has the athletic skill?) but I forgot that someone needs to do portraits. To the easel with you!

After all, Coke's still working on his novels. He now makes over $6,000 a week, which is really helping the family make their house not suck.

I did promise you homework in this chapter, right?
Ella: I will always remember this moment when the creator made us do homework.
Nope, still don't have Generations, memories (and body hair?) came with the patch.

Ella: I hate the creator.

And then I installed Generations AND the family had enough money for me to update their house a little bit (just a little bit) with the new objects!

Bunk beds! There's so much more floorspace in the kids' room now!

And now it's time for spouse stalking! While the kids walk out of school then immediately back in, I lurk and wait for more students to emerge.
They're going back in so that they can register for after school clubs. Iato joined scouting and Issy joined ballet. Ella has a new, different hobby waiting for her at home.

No thank you.

...no.

Cute! Quick, Iato, track her down! Corner her and-
Wait, what's her name?
Theladry Starr? Oh. She's a CAS sim. Maybe some of her offspring will be cute?

With that a complete waste of time, the kids go to the new park to try out some new objects. Iato likes hopscotch!

The girls disappear into the treehouse to battle pirates, as the sun sets behind them.

I kept the "Less Blue Nights" mod in my game, since it gives me sunsets like this.
Speaking of, I've been out of the TS3 loop for about a year, does anyone have any recommendations on CC or mods that you really like? Does anyone want a list of where I got my CC? Anything in particular you want to know about?
As always, if you see something you want in your game, ask me about it and I'll dig it up for you.

Back at home, Immy is becoming a full-fledged adult.

With generations, I want to try some new outfits on her, so I gave her a make-over that made her a little less... posh looking.

Immy: That's right, I'm hot.

BTW, kids can now "have submarine adventure" in the bath and they get a happy moodlet from it and it's super cute.

Ella: That sunset sure was pretty.
Look at what I bought you! A chemistry set! Be excited!
Ella: ...yay.

Ella: Okay, the goggles are cool.

I promised myself that this wouldn't turn into Generations spam, like every legacy does when a new expansion comes out, but it's hard to resist. When all I'm doing is testing out new features, it's hard not to turn up a dozen shots of all the new things.

Scorched from the chemistry set, Ella climbs up to the top bunk. Issy is a coward and got a wish to stay on the bottom bunk.

Random shot of the moon.
Man, I can't wait until they give us weather.

Issy gives us another chance to explore new things by playing in the sandbox. After trying it out, I sold it again, since it doesn't seem like the family desperately needs it right now. Eventually the legacy home will have a courtyard sized playground, but not yet.

I forget who brought this boy home from school, but Issy snatched him up and decided to become good friends with him. He's not horrible looking (yet). He's not too exciting personality-wise, though. Just goes through life with this bored expression on his face.
His name is something that starts with a T, so lets just nickname him Tee.

Issy and her new friend tried out the pillow fight interaction!

Uh, maybe you shouldn't do that in the master bedroom when all three of your parents are sleeping?

Outside, Issy used the opportunity to tell a ghost story as the sun sets.

Issy: This coming school year, children too young to remember 9/11 will enter middle school.
Tee: Ah! Scary!

Issy: Most Soviet-studies majors have never actually lived in a world where there was a Soviet Union!
Tee: Okay, that one was a little bit over my head.

Issy: Um... and then the ghost snake was never seen in town again.

I wasn't watching Ella and she accidentally missed the bus and had to beg for forgiveness before the negative moodlet would go away.

Ella: I'm really sorry Mommy-Immy!
Immy: It's okay, hone, I know that mistakes happen. Just don't miss the bus again.
Iato: Damn you homework.
Issy: I see you there, dirty plate, don't think I don't!

Immy: And don't let there be any stunts like this again, alright?
Ella: ...right. Great! Just don't use the shower.
Issy: I will get you, plate! Don't think I won't!

Immy: What about the shower?
Ella: Hehheh, nothing! There's no dye in the shower! None at all!

Before I remembered that we still needed portraits of THREE sims, H was starting to work on her cooking skill, which is great because there's always good food in the fridge this way.

Hey Immy, what's with the change of clothes?
Immy: You know why.
Oh, yeah...
remember how I said if I think there's a contender for heir(ess) when the kids are children, then Immy and Coke can have their own baby.

...yeah.
I don't really like Iato, but I'm definitely torn between Isola and Iella for heiress, which means H doesn't need any more kids of her own (and with a career-related LTW we're WAY behind on, that's an important decision).

Immy: Hey H, I've got something to tell you.

Immy: I got you flowers! Also, Coke knocked me up so there's going to be another baby around in, say, three sim days from now.

H: OMG NO WAI!
I love sims faces when they're given flowers!

H: I will forgive your not warning me ahead of time about your plans for the baby... these flowers smell like flowers. :D

Next time, Immy gives birth, and it's time for EVERYONE except for Immy to grow up.

That's all I can promise since I haven't played any farther ahead, but hopefully some stuff will happen!

Generation Italian, Chapter Four

2011-07-07T07:16:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, the babies became toddlers, and Hátulja was a little disappointed that her two lovers were getting married.

Coke: We are getting married in this chapter, right?
I'll think about it.

But first... the pseudo-triplets are growing up!

Iato looks a lot like his mother (Hátulja), I think (at least in face shape) but luckily he didn't get the nose.

Iella also has the face shape, and her nose must be Immy's because Issy has it too.

Isola leads me to do that thing where a legacy writer mentions another legacy they've written. But seriously, she looks like she could be a Hadley.
Isola: Who?
Cue flash-back music.

A very long time ago, when I first got TS3, I created a family called the Hadleys, and I started a legacy (well before there were even legacy rules for Sims 3).

Somewhere in the early generations (3 or 4?) they acquired this characteristic jaw.

The family was eventually destroyed by glitch after glitch after teen pregnancy after glitch. I will not be reviving them. However, I rather like the idea of some of their characteristics being passed on.

Isola: Like my jaw?
That's right dear.

Anyway, back to the legacy currently in progress... *cough*

Issy shows off the new bedroom, which the three kids share for now.

Issy: I have to pee.

Immy repairs the computer, which keeps breaking for some reason.
Coke: It wasn't me!
You're the only one that uses the computer!

H is still gaining random skill points. She's unlucky, so I'm a bit scared to let her try tinkering.
By the way, is it alright with you guys that I just call her H? The only other nickname I could think of for her would be Hatty, which I don't really like.

Anyway, shortly after the kids grew up, H was invited to go to Yumi Sekemoto's party. She wasted no time in meeting everyone.

At first I thought maybe this kid could be a potential spouse for one of the girls, but he's Sam Sekemoto. Back in the first generation, his father Leighton married the founder!
That makes Sam generation Italian's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-uncle.
No thanks! Besides, I don't want to double-dip in Sekemoto genetics.

H tells Leighton about his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren she has back at home.
H: My daughter could kick your son's BUTT!

Then she becomes fast friends with Zelda Mae-Sekemoto (that's right, Zelda and Leighton tied the knot).

Tongue piercing!

Back at home...
Issy: zzz... Some day I will find love...

Ella: zzz... Some day I will reach the top of my career...

Iato: zzz... Some day I will have dinner.

Someday, Issy is going to be our sculptor, but since she can't yet she's painting to earn us some cash.

I'm not sure what to do with Iato. I think when he's old enough he'll start working out, but right now he's working on logic for the most part.

Ella's the only one who can do her actual hobby of inventing, though she doesn't seem to like it that much... oops! Maybe I'll see what else I can find for her once she's a teen. Maybe by then I'll have Generations!

Oh, and Coke is still gardening, btw. His garden is in the middle of their courtyard, which I'm still working on. Eventually I want to have all the rooms around it open up into this space, with an extensive garden and a fountain. For now, though, it's just a place to put all the skilling stations.

Immy: I'm not so sure if I want to get married unless H is totally cool with it.

Coke: What? You can't back out now! What about the plans I've already made?

Immy: Yeah right, you haven't even called everyone to set up for the party.

Coke: How much money do you think I'd have to pay to get it all set up today?

Immy: Plan succeeded.

It's their wedding day! So cute.

I see where Issy got her jaw from. It's the jaw Immy got when I mixed Rory's genes with Lav's.

As the guests started to arrive, everyone gathered in the courtyard. I love wedding parties, everyone gets to show off their formalwear!

Immy: So, Coke, what do you say we do this thing now while everyone's still young?

Coke: This is an excellent idea!
Random Lady: Dinner!

Meet Imogen Chimeree-Ellis and Cocaine Chimeree-Ellis, the newly wedded couple.

After the ceremony, everyone goes out to talk to the crowd, most of whom are strangers.

Coke: No, no, no, clearly spaghetti is the best food of all time.

H: My tattoos keep resetting my age to the start of the life bar, so the creator has to tell how old I am by checking how old Coke and Immy are.

H: But they make me infinitely cooler than you.

Ella: If we didn't already have your genetics in our distant past, maybe you could move in and give me lots of babies.

Sam: Cool, cool.

Iato: Green is the best color!

Random Lady: Nu-uh, yellow is!
Iato: In your dreams, woman!

Yumi: OMG, running child!

Issy: Tag, you're it!
Man: This displeases me.

Issy: Hey Ella, remember who's it?
Ella: Hold on... just let me... catch my breath...

Issy: Oh, that's right, it was me! You're it!
Ella: I hate this game.

Sam stuck around long after the party was over, possibly hoping that someone in the family would befriend him and he'd get to stick around.
No such luck, Sammy-boy!

That's all I've got for now. Next time, we decide if there are going to be any more babies and if so, to whom! Also, I go stalking at the kids' school to look for potential mates for them, and they grow up into teens!

...maybe. I haven't actually played that far ahead. The only thing I can guarantee is they'll do their homework!

Ella: Words cannot express the joy I feel in my heart right now.

Generation Italian, Chapter Three

2011-07-06T15:18:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, Hátulja and Cocaine had a son, Iato, and Hátulja and Imogen had twin daughters named Iella and Isola. Then, Imogen and Cocaine got engaged!

Immy: SHINY!

The next night was time for the babies to become toddlers. But first, I updated the house. Here's the new layout:
There's one bedroom for the adults, two bathrooms, a nursery, and another room that will become the kids room when they're old enough. The rest is all open. It's actually pretty nice so far, no one's struggling or wanting for anything right now. As soon as they're kids, it's going to be a different matter.

Anyway, it's time to grow some babies!

First is Iato. His favorite color is green, and he got weird blond hair from nowhere. Weird.

This is Iella, who likes white. She has Immy's hair with the purple streaks (Lav's hair).

Finally, we have Isola, who also likes white. She also has Immy's hair, and some spooky red eyes, and she's super cute.

Toddler skilling montage! Oh, that was easy.
Isola: Tree! Can I go play now?
Immy: Yeah, you're good.

The others aren't so lucky.
H: Come on, Iato, if you don't beat her, the police will come and get you!
Ella: Newspaper!

H: Love. Say love! Your mommies and daddy love each other very much!

Coke: And some day one of your mommies will die, and you'll get to meet Death!

Coke: Then Daddy-Cocaine won't have anyone to play with his rocket.
H: COKE! Stop that!

H: Daddy-Coke better watch what he says, otherwise he won't have anyone to take out on his dates.
Iato: Dates!

And now... cute toddler spam!

Isola: Dates!

Thus concludes this episode of toddler-spam.

Meanwhile, I gave H a little make-over, since I love this hair and she looked cute in it.

H: OMG!

H: I'm cute!

I also downloaded "less blue nights" but it made my nights too dark, so I think I'm going to take it out.

Anyway...
Immy: Hey, H, I wanted to talk to you, can you come out here?

H: Little busy here, Immy!
Immy: Well, I'll talk and you listen.

H: Okay, honey. Whatever.

Immy: I know you've seen the ring by now. Cocaine proposed to me at the bar.

H: Uh... huh...
Immy: It doesn't mean we don't want to be with you any more. We're staying here.
H: Uh huh...

Immy: You know if they'd let us, all three of us could get married but you're afraid of commitment anyway, so...

H: Whatever, it's fine with me. I'm going to go get another tattoo.

And she did. Hátulja got some simlish along her arm.

When she got back, Coke cornered her in the kids room.
Coke: Look, I'm sorry that I upset you.

Coke: Think of it this way. We're having a ceremony for all of us. Legally, only two of us can be married, but this for all of us.

Coke: I know you, H, you're afraid of commitment! You're not going to want to get married anyway.

H: I know, Coke. I'm not mad you and Immy are an item. I just wish one of you would have told me first.

Coke: Yeah, I'm in love with that woman.

The girls show off their new sleepwear while they make-up over chess. All is well in the Alphabetacy-Chimeree-Ellis household.

Isola: What just happened?
Don't worry about it, honey, just chew on your blocks.
Issy: Okay!

...
.....
.......okay, right, sorry, no more toddler spam.

Immy is a super-cool handy-woman! She repairs the television!

She repairs the dishwasher!

She, uh, repairs the dishwasher again!

Remember, the family trait is unlucky.

H: It's not so bad, being unlucky. I have two partners, and three lovely children.

Aww, that was adorably sappy!
Next time, the kids grow up, we have a wedding (for real this time) and we decide if we're adding another baby to the mix!

Generation Italian, Chapter Two

2011-07-05T07:26:00.000-07:00

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

Last time, I tried to catch everyone up with what has happened so far, and to explain Coke, Imogen, and Hátulja's relationship.

After some major snuggling...

Generation Nine is on the way, big time! Eep! Hátulja is pregnant with Coke's child, and Immy is pregnant with Hátulja's child. I had all three combinations (Coke-Hátulja, Hátulja-Immy, and Immy-Coke) try for baby, and figured whichever one stuck would be the pair I'd have get married. Too bad for me, two of them stuck!

"I'm going to be a father?"

"What was I doing again?"

"Oh yeah, sleep!"

Imogen: Babies... zzzzz
Coke: Wait, what was I doing again?

This shot is only here to show you that Coke does some gardening in his free time.

And this shot is only here to show you Hátulja's awesome maternity wear.

Mostly the two moms-to-be spend their time playing chess together. Hátulja needs miscellaneous skill-points for future careers, and Immy's LTW is to max Handiness and Logic, so they'll play together until one of them is in a bad mood.
Also, you can see Hátulja's tattoo from here. She has the koi on her back (my favorite tattoo).

Time flies when you have two pregnant sims with one absent-minded lover to manage.
Coke: Uh, H? I think something's wrong.
H: I feel fine.

H: Whoa, never mind! OW!

Coke: OMG WHAT DO I DO?!

Out in the kitchen:
Immy: Dum-de-dum-de-dum, nothing to see here.

Of course, as soon as H and Coke went to the hospital:
Immy: Ooow! Ow. Ow. Ow.

Immy: It's a girl!

No...
It's two girls! No kidding... the twins are named Iella, which means evil eye, and Isola, meaning island.

Hátulja had a son, who I named Iato, which means hiatus, in honor of my being away from TS3 and Boolprop for so long.

And now I want to punch someone.

Not that my sims care. They went back to their normal routine, except that now they have to run around taking care of three little babies all at once!

At least I have three parents to help take care of the poo larvae.
Coke: I like babies!
H: *is a zombie*

Coke: Seriously, it's not that bad. Wait... what was I just doing?
Isola (or Iella): WAAAAAAAA!

Iella (or Isola): WAAAAAAAA!

I love lots of sim babies, but this is getting annoying. Usually I'd try for one more (I'd like to give Immy and Coke a chance for a kid of their own, even though it could never be the heir) but I think I'll wait and see. If these kids look like one of them could be heir(ess) by the time they're children, Immy and Coke can have ONE kid. If not, Hátulja's going to need to reproduce again.

Immy: Hmm... I don't know if I want any more kids. Coke, your thoughts?

Coke: Um...
Immy: I don't really care. On the one hand, if we have our own kids, that means one of these three will be heir, and I have a 2/3 chance of getting my own genetics passed down the family line.

Immy: On the other hand, if we don't have kids, then most-likely H will be the one to give birth to the next nooboo, not me, in which case I don't have to miss out on work any more.

H: Yeah, but you don't have a job-related LTW.

Immy: *death glare*
H: So... want to go to bed with me?
Coke: person person plus

Anyway, H rolled a wish for another tattoo, so I decided to let her get something small.

First, here's a better shot of her big back piece.

And here's the little plumbob I let her get on the back of her wrist.

Then it was back to the house for her! H had to babysit, because Coke and Immy had plans.

The nursery isn't the most romantic place for a date.

They went out together for the first time, and they had a great time (and showed off their formal wear).
Coke: What am I doing again?

They had drinks...

...and they danced...

...and were all around adorable.
Immy: I've had a great time tonight, Coke. I'm glad we were finally able to get out of the house together. We should probably get back home, though. H is all alone with the babies.

Coke: Wait, I have one more surprise.

Coke: Imogen Ellis, will you marry me?

Immy: OH MY GOD!

Immy: YES!

Immy: OMG SO SHINY.

This is where I leave you, I'm afraid. Next time: the babies grow up, Immy and Coke tell H about their engagement, and we have a wedding?

Generation Italian, Chapter One

2011-07-04T05:55:00.000-07:00

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

You probably have a lot of questions. Maybe you're new to this legacy and are wondering why I'm starting in the ninth generation. Or maybe you read the original and are wondering why I didn't bring back Galle and Fritz and all their children. Or maybe you stumbled on this page by accident and have no idea what's going on at all. Let me explain.

In September, 2008, I began a Sims 2 legacy, posted on the BoolProp forums here. My computer died shortly after, and I lost the family at generation C.
In August, 2009, I decided to bring the family back again, this time in The Sims 3. The idea is this: have a family that lasts for 26 generations, not including the founder, and name each generation of kids with only one letter. Generation 1 is A, 2 is B, etc.
This legacy has a twist because it has a theme: every generation is assigned a language that starts with that letter - Africaans, Basque, etc. - and the children will be named words that start with that letter in that language. For example, a kid from generation A would get named a word from Afrikaans starting with the letter A, like Antwoord (meaning Answer), while someone from generation E would get named an Estonian word starting with the letter E, like Esmaspäeviti (meaning Every Monday).

I seem to have a habit of only updating this during the summer, because it's harder to play during school. Well, it's the summer again, and it's my third summer with this legacy! You can go back and read all the old chapters (they're listed on the old thread here as well as the new thread) but I'll summarize as best I can here:

Galle, the generation German heiress, and her husband Fritz were contemplating having another child.

They already had

Hadjárat, the oldest adopted girl.

Hátulja, the oldest biological child, who I feared was a clone of her mother.

Het, one of the adopted twins.

Hol, Het's twin brother.

Hajó, the oldest bio-boy.

Három, who looked exactly like Hajó.

And finally Helyzet, the littlest girl, who I really liked.

I did end up letting Galle get pregnant again. I was hoping for some genetic diversity, though I already had a lot of potential heirs to choose from.

Then I went to school, and didn't have much time to play at all. Galle never gave birth, partially because of that, but also because something awful happened, a week before finals.
My computer was infected with a virus that could not be removed. The only way to save Sasha (my laptop) was to kill it with fire, aka completely wipe the computer and start again from scratch. Only the most vital documents (papers, drafts of novels) could be saved. Everything else had to go.
Including my saved games. I hadn't played with my legacy sims in 9 months, so I didn't even think to export the family or anything. I was afraid the virus had gotten in there too.
So I lost them.

When I finally decided to rebuild this family, I realized that I could not reconstruct all of generation Hungarian. There was no way I would get them right, I didn't have enough clear pictures of their faces, and I'd spend days getting everyone just-so, even if I did. So I decided to pick an heir, someone close to growing up to YA anyway, and just age them up. The family was getting ridiculously rich anyway, it might be nice to start from nothing, or next-to-nothing.
I wanted to choose Helyzet, she had been my favorite, but she was still just a child and I had the least photos of her face. So I picked Hátulja.

"OH MY GOD I'M THE HEIRESS!"

She is, of course, doing her best imitation of her mother:

The entire German generation was neurotic, actually. It's one of my favorite traits, they're easy to keep happy if you let them have one good freak out in the morning.

Despite the wealth of neuroses, this family trait is still unlucky.

Anyway, Hátulja's heiress now.

"Sweet."
I remade her in CAS from a couple screenshots from the last chapter. It's not perfect, but it's a good start.
And yes, she still has a house. Let me explain.

These two folks are, well...

This is Cocaine Chimeree, of the "Chim-Chim-Cheree" legacy, which was finished ages ago, but is still one of my favorites. He was my favorite character, and I've downloaded him into my game.

This lovely young lady with him is what happens when I combine the genetics of Lavender Chimeree with a sim that was born in another game (before I decided to re-start this legacy) named Rory Ellis. I named this woman Lavender Ellis, and then I realized what I had in store for her and Cocaine who is, after all, her distant relative, and I changed her name to Imogen.

I think you'll see why. Imogen and Cocaine are in love with each other. They're also both in love with Hátulja, and she's in love with both of them.
They're a triad. They all have the No Jealousy reward, and they are all very happy with each other (or they were once I did some gender-preference adjustment, I didn't realize how hard this game was on bisexual sims).

Okay, so this doesn't really explain it at all.
This is what happened: I decided to re-start the legacy, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to document it. I moved Hátulja into an empty lot and let her live for a while. Eventually Cocaine moved in, then Imogen, and they were all happy together, and I decided I wanted to update this blog after all.
Problem is, I didn't take any pictures of lawn living because I didn't think I'd use them.

So this is where we come in. The three of them have a little house together in Sunset Valley. They are happy, even though they all have a naughty reputation from flirting with each other. Cocaine is still writing novels and gardening. Hátulja, who has commitment issues, wants to be a Jack of All Trades. Imogen wants to max handiness and logic. Both women have a job in the military for now.

They are cute, and young, and happy, and my most unique family so far. Soon some decisions will have to be made regarding babies (it is generation Italian, after all), but not yet.

Things have settled into a pleasant routine. Cocaine writes novels all day, while everyone's at work.

The girls skill a little in the evening, and then they all get ready for bed.

The first two to get ready for bed get the big bed together, and if they're in a good mood I let them woohoo (my policy is that all woohoo is either try-for-baby, or risky woohoo, which is set on 20% for YA and 10% for adults). There's a single bed for whoever gets left out.

After a while, though, it's time for some serious baby-making. Let's get Generation Italian on the way!

I hope that this introduction has been helpful. Next time, we'll see the first babies of this coming generation!
