Generation Italian, Chapter Nine



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



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.
