I'm so sorry for how late this is! I should have had a first update up a fortnight ago. 
Anyway, what's done is done. This is a rather lengthy first update; more will come in the following days. If it's any consolation though, you get to see babies, so at least Gen 9 is in existence.

{+ 146. Because Laura takes wayyyy too many screenshots.}
Some house pictures, to set the scene. Carson lives in a modernist cuboid, basically. The interior furniture is sparse and cheap. But hey, he has tulips. He can suck it up!
So, what of our heir himself? (and his cat??!)
Carson: Hi MTV. I'm a prestigious legacy heir and welcome to my ~crib!
He's pretty cute! Looking forward to seeing his genes mix with one of the local townie population.
This is Cerys, a CAS kitty I gave him to fend off loneliness(also because I need more cats in my neighourhood and cuuuuuteness)
Obligatory job hunt for Carson. He has the equivalent LTW of having 5 Top Businesses, which he's never going to complete, so any career is fair game for him. Because of his high carried over Body Skill, he ends up pursuing a life of dance.
On to spouse hunting! With turn ons of brown hair/plantsimism, this is probably not going to be too easy (my neighbourhood suffers a lack of both). He rolled straight with ACR, but I'm up for editing that if no pretty ladies catch his eye.
All pretty ladies, but Carson has little to no chemistry with any of them
Redhead: I think you have lice.
Carson: *internal screaming*
Carson likes the barista, but really likes this custom townie of mine, Emelia. Thing is, I want to breed the brown eyes out of this legacy (they've persisted eight generations, ENOUGH) and Emelia's not much use to me in that regard. The search continues.
Carson: So, er, what kind of alien did you say you were?
Townie: A PERSONAL SPACE INVADER!!!11!
The welcome wagon brings.... two of Carson's (counts) great-great-great-grand aunts.
I made a conscious decision to move Carson into the same 'hood as my previous legacy round. I thought it'd be fun and nostalgic.
What I didn't count on was Carson having the hots for his 'distant' ancestors...
Leila: Oh my god! You're my great (x3) grand nephew! Holy crap! How's life? How's heirdom going? How's-
Carson: STOP DISTANT RELATION I REJECT YOUR FRIENDLY OVERTURES EVEN IF I DO FIND YOU MILDLY ATTRACTIVE.
Leila:
Carson: *creep creep creep*
Although both these guys are straight, I'm convinced that they're a little bit gay for each other.I may have even checked if they'd hypothetically have bolts but nope negative chem oh well.
Guests claim the table; poor Carson is relegated to the sofa for dinner.
Gah, Irving here is too damn cute.
MORE spouse hunting!
Carson, if you turn around, you'll find a townie that at least meets one of your turn ons right behi-
Carson: MUSIC ARRRND DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE
Fine, then.
Carson: Oh wait, she is kinda hot.
Townie: Lol, too late buster. I'm going to leave the lot now and you'll never see me again!
The DJ is pretty cute, if only Carson had any attraction whatsoever with her (he doesn't).
Carson: Your face.... it's moderately pleasing to me?
Barwoman: That's nice of you. I think you're about as attractive as a llama's behind, but I appreciate the sentiment.
WHERE ARE ALL THE ATTRACTIVE BRUNETTES GONE??! I have way too many redheads, that's my problem. He kind of likes Sage here, but she's far too playable to be an option.
I send the big ol' dork here to play Myshuno!, where he meets another grand-aunt of the magical persuasion. Irene is also attracted to him, but HAH nope. He gets on with her better than he does Leila, at least.
So many pretty townies, but Carson is far too picky and scores with NONE of them. Gah!
Carson: Hi there, pretty townie.
Pretty townie: Hi semi-visible man! I could well be a three-bolter, but because you left the lot to go look for other ladies, I'mma leave now and you'll never see me again!
Carson: dAMN IT
Irving: Don't worry, you'll ALWAYS have me!
nope
After one day, this is Carson's progress. *headdesk*
Irving: i love you
Carson: Go home Irving.
Cerys is much more agreeable. ♥ Still, don't get too comfy there, you're a working pet from now on.
Admittedly, a glamorous one.
Bed for now. Hopefully he'll have reason to purchase a double bed soon!
When he gets home from work the next day, he meets Tiffany Sampson, who's a townie in my game (I loved her too much to not have her in my custom 'hood). She's a BRUNETTE Carson. Why do you not love her already??? They only have one bolt.
Carson: I'm awfully flattered lady, but I'm much more interested in socialising over the phone rather than with present Sims. Totes sorry.
Just as I'm losing hope, he meets Alessandra Pettifer.
They spend the evening discussing music on the sidewalk...
Carson: You're moderately gorgeous. Want to come in before you catch the flu?
Alessandra then decides to bond with Tiff, rather than Carson. I can't imagine why.
Carson: *creepy grin*
Promotion! So...
It's time to get going on a side project of mine: my neighbourhood really needs more pets. And since I can't get Carson laid, maybe I'll work on Cerys' love life instead.
Carson: CLAWS
Carson: CAT
You'd swear he'd never seen one before! Carson really does love his cats before anything else though. See more later.
It's looking good already!
Carson: DATE TIME! Let me impale my hand through my leg in excitement.
Alessandra is pretty cute, and ALIEN EYED, and she's got decent chemistry with our heir, so here goes nothing.
Carson: ...it's this big.
Alessandra: Tell me more.
Unfortunately, this charlatan decides to target the poor girl.
Alessandra: Hey Carson, I just got robbed, any chance you could buy me a coffee?
Carson: ha try nope. *slurp*
Alessandra: You're actually a jackass.
I can't say I blame the girl, but I hoped that their date had gone better.
The barista is another option, but I know for a fact she has another lover... the man running in the background, as a matter of fact.
Then again, Jack has MULTIPLE lovers, it's not like they're exclusive or anything.
Now I know where all the hot brown-haired girls are: Jack's squirrelled them all away for his own deviations.
A meeting of heirs!
Spencer: Hey chief! I'd never thought I'd get a chance to meet my great-great-great-great-grandson! How's the spouse hunting going?
Carson: how aren't you dead you're like 200 years old
Sabine: *creepin'*
Sabine: lol whut public displays of affection?
Sabine: Urgh. Peasants.
I'm very glad Carson managed to salvage their date!
Still, I just want to check out Carson's other high-bolt options...without summoning that crone of a matchmaker
Eh, options are thin on the ground realistically.
I have him check out this green bean anyway. Red hair or not, I prefer Alessandra.
I've given Carson recessive genetics anyway in SimPE. He has his mother's latent red hair and green eyes as secondary genetics.
Another of his potential soulmates just so happens to walkby. She's pretty, but brown-eyed...! Nope, Alessandra is the one, I think.
Molly, another legacy heir of mine, walks by with... serious business on her mind.
More walkbys.
The telescope is my back-up plan for children production, if things with Alessandra don't work out.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME. It's only four days into play...
Panicked phone dialling is the best kind of phone dialling.
Viola the Burglar: Haha! I iz a MASTUR criminal!
Getting caught bam in the act of thievery isn't exactly the habit of professionals, Viola. As I recall, she appeared in Gen 3 too!
As did Nita the Policewoman... who does a better job this time. She's had experience since, I guess.
The burglary hits Carson's motives hard.
Carson: There isn't a Sim-sized rabbit in my living room right now... I'm just sleep deprived...
Social bunny: love me
Carson: NO
Alessandra: Love me?
Carson: With pleasure.
Carson: Hah it was?
Alessandra had to leave yesterday before Carson got to serenade her, so the next day he sets up a date.
The deal is sealed! ♥
These two aren't exactly dressed for fine dining, but it doesn't dampen the romance that's in the air.
Why are ALL my legacy sims ridiculous messy?
Guys, you're not exactly eating at home, you know.
I give up.
Carson: Let's take this somewhere a little more private.
Alessandra: Oh crap.
Oh yes, I think you mean.
Alessandra: Why's that?
Well-
Alessandra: WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOU'RE A LEGACY HEIR???!!!?
Carson: lol too late now. You're trapped.
Alessandra: DAMNIT if you weren't so sexy I'd end you right about now.
Ah, she'll come round to the idea. I didn't make her over much, I liked her overall appearance. Y'all hyped for babies? I am.
Alessandra: *barf* I'M NOT.
She's a Popularity Sim, with an LTW to have 20 Best Friends and only 3 Nice points. Kids weren't really on her agenda. She's got a decent job in the Intelligence career.
Carson: Cerys, it's time.
Boom boom!
With Alessandra's funds, the house is undergoing gradual renovations.
Time to make it official!
I have Carson take Alessandra's name, mainly because I have enough Bebeesses running around my neighbourhood. But for the sake of the Round Robin, consider them Bebeesses anyway.
I'd have liked to do something more fancy, but these two are pretty low key anyway (and at this point I was feeling the time pressure).
Shotgun baby makes an appearance!
Carson: Are you ready for the Babypocalypse?
Alessandra: I will personally neuter you if you don't shut up already.
Carson has a really mixed record when it comes to career success.
KITTY! I can't wait to see how Cerys and Chocolate Swirl's genes mix.
Carson: I think I like cats more than people.
Maybe he should pay more attention to the person he shares his house with.
Alessandra: I'M DEFINITELY SPAYING YOU YOU JERK! GET OVER HERE!
Uh oh.
U̬͓̜̰H̲̳ͨ͐ͣ͞ ͑ͬ͐̄O̘̻̦̹͓͍͉̔͌ͨ͌̕H͈̦̱̍
Carson: WHY?
I'm asking the same thing. This is the second time Triplets and Quads has struck my round of the legacy. I really meant to disable it this time around but, screw it, let's live life dangerously.
Carson: YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAS TO CHANGE THEIR DIAPERS
Alessandra: HOLD
Carson: LALALALALA NOPE not listening, if I hug my cat enough all this will go away.
Stellar parenting already from our soon-to-be-replaced heir.
Carson: If I don't see it, it didn't happen.
Try telling that to Alessandra. I dare you.
Two boys and two girls, they're in order of birth anti-clockwise from the top. The boys have blond hair like Dad, the girls brown like their mother. And all of them have alien eyes!
THE REIGN OF BROWN HAS ENDED.
Once again I have a dilemma, given I have four children like last time. Freesia by rights should be excluded from the heir poll, but if she winds up an entertaining character, I may just include her (like I did with Leila).
Thankfully I hung on to enough of Alessandra's money to add a second floor onto the house. Proper pictures of that next update, but for now, here's the nursery.
And may the llamas have mercy on their souls.
