Generation Afrikaans, Chapter Six

Hello, and welcome to the new Around the World Legacy. Or, in Afrikaans, Rondom Die Wêreld.
In this legacy, each generation will be named a word starting with their letter from a language starting with that letter so a sim from generation A could be named Antwoord, the Afrikaans word for Answer.

Last time on the Around the World Legacy, Leighton reached his lifetime want, and Asseblief became a young adult. I was trying to decide on the heiress.

Let's start off with some fishing. Who doesn't like fishing? Also, this pond? On the legacy lot. It solves the teenage angler problem. Poor Aap kept getting in trouble with the curfew police!

I've changed my mind about generation B. It's already a big family without having the planned eight babies (yes, eight). So Asseblief's LTW is no problem to me.
Also, I have a husband in mind for her.

His name is something like Fred, but I've taken to calling him Reddy. He has red eyes! He's the decedent I of some sims I dropped into the town to populate it when Leslie first moved in. I think. Anyway, Reddy here is the second gen. spouse. And Asseblief is the heiress, of course.

While the two love birds flirt outside, the other girls demonstrate the inefficiency of the kitchen table.

That's why I built them a brand new dinning room, right off the living room. But do they use it? Noooo!

Anyway, Asseblief and Reddy are getting really close, and I had her ask him to go steady.

Then I was distracted by Leslie getting electrocuted by a bear burnt at work.

And then it was time for little miss Advertensie to grow up!

And, while I think she's pretty, I'm glad I picked Asseblief. First of all, this is not a prettacy or an uglacy, but rather... a unique-acy. I don't want my kids looking like clones of each other. And Advertensie does look different. I just think it'd be hard for her to marry someone equally unique and have kids that don't look like they belong in, well, an uglacy.

Besides, she's found love, in the form of something-or-other McGraw. I had her ask him to be her boyfriend, and he of course said yes! The next day she moved out to live with him!

This is the man whose death distracted me from Asseblief's first kiss! Damn him!

But it's okay, because Asseblief was happy to re-enact it for me.

Then she took him home, and outside, away from her family, and asked him to marry her. He gave an enthusiastic yes!

And then the two went into the orange bedroom to make blue and purple eyed babies.
Do you see the unique-acy potential? DO YOU SEE IT?

Anyway, the next morning, little miss Asseblief, who always seems to be looking boring in my pictures, got ready for her wedding day. They were having a small party, with some of her parent's friends, Reddy's roommates, and Advertensie and her boyfriend.

The two of them share their vows on the lawn at sunset...
Wait a second, where the HELL did his hair go?

Ahem. In any case, these pictures would be perfect if his hair hadn't vanished.

I gave him a make-over after the wedding. His favorite color is yellow! Exciting, I've never had a yellow-lover before. Stupid sims keep getting purple or white.

And I'll leave you with this picture of Asseblief, rubbing her imaginary pregnant stomach.
That's right, generation B is on the way!

Generation Afrikaans, Chapter Five

Hello, and welcome to the new Around the World Legacy. Or, in Afrikaans, Rondom Die Wêreld.
In this legacy, each generation will be named a word starting with their letter from a language starting with that letter so a sim from generation A could be named Antwoord, the Afrikaans word for Answer.

Last time on the Around the World Legacy, not a whole lot happened. Aap became a child and Afdeling became a teen.

Ah, it would appear it's time for Aap to become a teen now too. And now, the moment of truth. Will Leighton fulfill his lifetime want, or will another baby be hastily made?

Wait, it appears we've missed a few photos! Advertensie's been hard at work playing chess.

She's been winning chess match...

...after chess match...

...after chess match...

...after- wait, didn't we already play you?
"I came back."
Err, okay. After repetitive chess match.

Leighton has been gardening in his underwear, working on growing some fresh ingredients for Leslie, who is still cooking up a storm.

This is the fifth key lime pie she's baked today. Why? I like pie.
Also, she's trying to make 75 dishes. I believe so far she's made 66.

This doesn't have anything to do with this update, I just took a random picture of the mail man and I liked it.

So, do you want to know if Leighton's LTW was filled?
Really?
Are you sure? I have other pictures of mail men!

Right, so, as I was saying, it's Aap's birthday.

A little pop up announced that Leighton's lifetime wish had been completed. He slept through it.

And Aap's a teen. I made her hair a little more reddish brown, just because I like the red better and I can do that.

Now I've got to decide who to make heir? I like Asseblief. She looks very much like her mother, though she has an odd hooked nose I don't like, and her eyes are big and pretty.

I really like Advertensie's look, I've never had a girl with her appearance before, though I think I'd have to be careful who I mixed that look with.

I like that Afdeling got her mother's big eyes, because I love those eyes, but she got that mysterious brown hair. Maybe I'll dye it if she is chosen.

And finally there's Aap, who's pretty average to me, although she has the advantage of being much younger than her siblings.

Asseblief's birthday is the day after Aap's, so you'd think I'd have to decide right now, right? But you're wrong! Asseblief is going to have to hang around to paint portraits anyway, so there's no rush.

Oo look at those purple eyes. I like her for heiress, though I'm not sure about her lifetime want. She wants to reach the top of the science career, which would be fun because then you can experiment on things in the house, but I also plan to have a big family next generation (like you didn't see that coming).

Edit: Oh, totally forgot, I changed my mind about making brave the family trait. Asseblief is now also unlucky, which will be the real family trait. So all the girls will be unlucky for their next birthday, except Aap, who got it earlier.

In any case, a spouse is needed, and spare spouses for the other girls, so it's man hunting we go!

Unfortunately, the men of Sunset Valley are, er, special, in their own special little way.

Next time, I announce the heiress! Or, uh, not.

Generation Afrikaans, Chapter Four

Hello, and welcome to the new Around the World Legacy. Or, in Afrikaans, Rondom Die Wêreld.
In this legacy, each generation will be named a word starting with their letter from a language starting with that letter so a sim from generation A could be named Antwoord, the Afrikaans word for Answer.

Last time on the Around the World Legacy, the oldest girls went looking for a husband, and everyone skilled a lot.

And little Aap is finally becoming a child.

And the cake, right on cue, caught on fire. Again, everyone was completely efficient. Leslie carried Aap out of the room, then came back and helped Leighton put out the fire.
Of course, Leslie was feeling unlucky that morning, and she wasn't kidding. First we only got $200 from the insurance, and it cost $800 to repair the counter, and then the fireman fined us $500 for falsely calling the fire department. But-but I didn't even call you! They took care of it all themselves before I could even do anything!

But anyway, Aap became a child. I like her, but she's got that inexplicable brown hair that Afdeling got too. Hmm...

And Afdeling takes up fishing.
"But what if I get caught out after curfew?"
You're across the street from your house! Look, there it is behind you!

And speaking of the house, let's take a look. It's a beautiful rainbow. I haven't decided what to put in the empty red, but in the bottom of the empty orange is going to be a master bedroom and bathroom, for the next heir. I think I'll have them switch off with the purple bedroom each generation, so they don't have to switch beds each time the grandparents die.

And now, Afdeling the forgettable becomes a teenager.

She's pretty, that nose is odd, but she's pretty.

Next time on Around The World, stuff happens!

Generation Afrikaans, Chapter Three

Hello, and welcome to the new Around the World Legacy. Or, in Afrikaans, Rondom Die Wêreld.
In this legacy, each generation will be named a word starting with their letter from a language starting with that letter so a sim from generation A could be named Antwoord, the Afrikaans word for Answer.

Last time on the Around the World Legacy, our founder, Leslie, gave birth to her fourth and, hopefully final, child, Aap, another girl. And there were birthdays.

Speaking of birthdays, my current favorite for heiress, Advertensie, is becoming a teen.

I've added more red to her hair, and shortened it, to show off her features.

And Advertensie immediately wins a ranked chess match against her sister, and then can't invite over any ranked chess players.

And Leighton has completed all his fitness challenges!

And he immediately got an opportunity to go jogging, and it was for his son, Sam, so he took it.

Sam was not overjoyed to see him. After all, his father abandoned him to marry into a legacy family.

Meanwhile, back at home, Leslie is serving tons of meals and storing them in the fridge.

Asseblief is painting like crazy.

Advertensie is working hard on getting more logic points.

And Afdeling is typing up a storm.

One day, after school, Asseblief and Advertensie, my two favorites for heiress now, headed out to go spouse hunting. Since they're both vegetarians, Advertensie grilled up some tofu-dogs.

And Asseblief introduced herself to everyone there.

Next time, things catch on fire a little more!
