Round Robin Legacy - Generation Eight

[LadyofShalott]

YES I'M FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THE WHOLE RRL WOOOOOO!!
Anyway, I love the style of your game. I don't see too many maxis-matched hoods anymore, so it's great to see something different! Also love that someone in the Bebeess family is a shopowner. I personally love shops, but they're so hard for me to run and manage along with a whole family. Great job!

Carson, Owen, and Audrey are so cute. It's awesome that they have different hair colors!

[PlyPlay665]

So, I wish I had fit one more birthday in this chapter, BUT I am tired. So naw.

{actual spoiler alert}
So, I know I was supposed to be done like a few days ago.. but I want to make sure my generation is played out as best as possible! I have a release schedule actually planned out. I'm going to have another interlude tomorrow, followed by a "special" chapter Saturday, and then a culminating chapter Sunday (Which will actually be played on Saturday, but I want to keep the two chapters separated). I may or may not have time to make the heir poll on Sunday, so it might not be up until Monday, but I should be done by Monday for sure. Unless I die. kthx.

{Chapter of Birthdays}

So, Carson's OTH is Music and Dance!


Alternately, Owen's is Science!


Meanwhile, Audrey is still a little baby.


Owen is the more studious of the twins. He even talked his mom into helping him with his homework on his sister's birthday!


Speaking of which, there's the birthday girl!


Audrey is definitely a daddy's girl!


Just a random photo of Owen stargazing.


Yes. They have matching green PJs. So cute. They're so much like twins. At one point they were getting dressed at literally the same time. I tried getting a photo, but the angle was too bad.


Audrey singing a nursery song!


So, Wendy had another child. Didn't mention she was pregnant again. Should have figured, though! They live in a four bedroom house and the twins share a room!


Meet the adorable Ashlynn!


So, Ethan can finally make Snapdragons! It's quite nice.


Wendy: Yes. Eat that food. Eat it as slowly as you want. I don't have to go to bed or anything.


Carson: Hey, do you want to go toss a football?
Owen: No, I'd rather not.
Carson: *tickles Owen* Do you wanna play pattycake?
Owen: ...yeah!

{spoiler}
Take note of this conversation. It speaks volumes of their characterization.

Ashlynn is actually really cute. Too bad she can't be a heir.


Ethan and Wendy still keep their chemistry going, even with four rugrats running around!


Owen is a great big brother! Carson actually had a negative relationship with Audrey when she was born! Although, he gets along with Ashlynn more than Owen does.


Double birthday time! Audrey goes first!


Then it's Ashlynn's turn! Ever notice how people care more about the babies?


Audrey all grown up! Isn't she a cutey-pie?


Ashlynn as a toddler.


Owen, probably the only Bebeess kid to have an A+. The others aren't serious enough for that.


Like, forreal though. Ashlynn is so cute!


....maybe I should have them clean the high chair more often.



Time for the twin's birthday!


Carson! Look at that handsome stud!


Owen, that hipster everyone wants to be friends with! I probably am going to give him thick-framed glasses... but I'm too lazy to restart my game and put them on him tonight. So, next update.

[Samantha]

The twins are soooooo cute. I love their hairstyle--is that Maxis?

Anyway, when can we expect the next update?

[Laura]

Wow, the kids are adorable! I like the twins a lot, and I'm interested to see how things play out with them, given their contrasting personalities. Also, woo for four-child families.  ~And hair colour variety, at long last. Nice to see some blondes/redheads!

Nope! It's one of my favorites, though! It's by fanseelamb. They actually both grew up into it, so I stuck with it. Especially since they both had the same hairstyle.

Sorry about the super late update, guys. I literally told y'all it was going to be done the next day; well that didn't happen. I have an excuse, though! I'm filming a tv show. So, as one would assume, I've been pretty busy. I sure hope the wait wasn't all in vain, this is the biggest update so far. We're getting super close to the finish. I'd hope so, though, considering I am running out of points.

{Großes Update}

We start this update with Ashlynn's birthday!


Here she is, all grown up! Well, into childhood anyway.


In other news, Carson got a membership at the gym down the road.


Yay for actually making use out of that workout outfit!


Getting to go out also means that you have to run errands. I bet Carson just loves picking up the groceries.


Speaking of hobbies, Audrey's OTH is Arts and Crafts. Just like her momma!


Ashlynn's happens to be Film and Literature!


Since Carson gets to go to the gym to enjoy his OTH, I thought it was only fitting that Owen had someplace to go and entertain his science OTH.


Of course, it would be nice if it weren't so cold outside. He looks pretty chilled, lol.


Nothing like playing red hands with your brother!


Owen seems to be following in his father's footsteps, he's pretty great with the customers!


With the help from their son, Ethan and Wendy decided to go on a little date of their own... too bad they didn't have enough time to actually leave the house.


That doesn't stop their teenage boys from hitting the night life! Of course, it would be nice if people got out of the way for this new driver so he could pull out!






Fun times at one of the hottest clubs in Downtown, P.U.R.E.!


While her older brothers are out having adult-like fun, Audrey is content with staying at home. She's got her own imagination that doesn't involve watching her back for pickpockets.


Finally got them glasses on Owen, lol. They look good imo!


I love when Sims autonomously do cute little things like this! Carson is such a good big brother!


Close in age, Audrey and Ashlynn get along pretty well! They might not have the twinsy-bond that Owen and Carson have, but they're close enough.


Carson isn't the only good big brother in the Bebeess household, Owen and Audrey are super close!


Hittin the gym also means a hittin the gym shower..


Hiring playables was probably the worst mistake I could have ever made. Not only do they have the flu, but they are pretty much spreading it to the entire neighborhood. If Zenon wasn't already infested bad enough, it is now past the point of no return haha.. Gotta love doing your employee's jobs, though, Ethan?


Owen's got Ethan's back, though. He ain't afraid to give an employee a good lecture and told to get back to work.


Birthday time, again! This time, it's Audrey!


With the amount of money the Bebeess family spends here, you would think they would be able to put in lights! Oh well, choose your battles, I guess.


Following in the mold of her parents, Audrey took up a skilled hobby of her own! Bebeess Flowers is getting pretty close to being called a knick knack store instead!


Smustle in your PJs, anyone?


All the family is gathered in one room! This is definitely a rare occasion.



Audrey couldn't help but pester her older brother. He is so easy to aggravate.



Stank eye.


Wait, are they carrying suit cases?


Oh my! They are! Stay stuned for a special vacation update and then a culminating update! This time I'm not giving an ETA.


Also, unrelated but I had a busy Simming day today! Built five community lots. I'm pretty proud of how the neighborhood is starting to shape up! Realistic neighborhoods ftw.

[PlyPlay665]

All I have to say is that I'm going to be busy for the next, like, week. I might be able to find time to push the next update sometime during, but I have like 15 more Sim days to play.. so at this point I'm somewhere around 70% done. 30% needs to be put into one update. le sigh. I suck. I know. This is why I was so in-out about wanting to participate. I really wanted to do so, but I knew I am so busy that I would never make the two-week deadline. UGH!

{Twikii Island}

So as you might have guessed, Twikkii Island is the destination of choice this go around!












They had quite an adventurous first day!


With six family members, it was quite hard to find accommodation for the whole family. They basically rented out the whole hotel! haha. This is Carson and Owen's room.


The master suite for the parents.


Audrey's room.


and yes, Ashlynn even had to get her own room. Well, she didn't have to. It was either that, or rooming with her parents. Which one do you think she decided?


How Carson got so hot while he was sleeping, we will never know..


Carson wasn't the only one getting hot in the bedroom... if you catch my drift.






More adventures!


Their first tour was the glass bottom boat trip! It was so great... they even found a secret map!



Audrey seems to have become obsessed with the "hang-loose" life..


I think Carson agrees.


Wendy meet the Witch Doctor!


Luckily, she is mechanically inclined and was able to help him out a bit!


Owen was able to help with the plumbing!


Once everything was fixed, the Witch Doctor gave her a good shake and gratitude.


He even had a gift in store for her. She kind of wondered if this were just a test he gives to everyone who comes by his hut..


Carson: Hey, Audrey! I was feeling a little bad about how I treated you on the way up here... just wondering if you wanted to hang today?
Audrey: You're such a DORK. How do I even have an older brother like you?


Carson: Yeah, I know, right? You're soooo super lucky!
Audrey: Ow! My hair! Stopppp!



Ethan: Hey, you wanna come downstairs and eat with the family? We're going to the restaurant in the hotel!


(friendly reminder that I'm spending the Bebeess kid's funds for the future. Who cares about the no20khandout in my downloads folder, right?)



Audrey apparently didn't want to look at the camera..


Ethan: Was it worth coming out of your nice hotel room to eat with the weirdos?



Carson and Owen!



Ashlynn seems to be making friends left and right here!


Went on a helicopter ride, and let's just say... it wasn't the best on the family stomachs. The Bebeess family gets motion sick pretty easily, apparently?


Owen, of course, was lucky and decided to not even go on the trip. Even though his family paid for his ticket. He decided to tell them he had a fear of planes after they footed the bill.


Back home, and the nice little CommunityTime seems to be not working either in Zenon, or my game in general. It saves up all the community lot time during vacation and spends it when we get on the home lot. Real cool of you, CommunityTime.

[Samantha]

I love the glasses on Owen. I can wait to see what the twins look like as adults (I'm soooo biased. One of them has definitely gotten my vote).

I had CommunityTime for a brief period of time as well. I got rid of it because, with OFB, I'd sometimes be at a community lots for 1+ days, and I really didn't feel like staring at an empty hour for 24 hours when I got back to the household. I suppose it could be useful, though, when you have a large household and want to get one of them out for a few hours or so.

[Samantha]

Can we please get an ETA of when you think this generation as a whole will be wrapped up? It's starting to stretch out a bit long, and I want to make sure we stay on track.

[PlyPlay665]

It is nearly done I promise!!!! I know I suck. I will get it done asap and then get out of all of your hairs. I should have known there is never any time in my life to do challenges. I'm busy all the time.

[PlyPlay665]

Finally! I'm done. Who knew this was going to take so long! I sincerely apologize for taking up people's valuable time they could have used to do their part in the challenge. What was supposed to be done in two weeks took me, like, a month and a half. This is the first challenge I have ever done, and there is a reason I never participate in them.. I don't have much time. As much as I'd like to do them, I don't.

{An Eighth Wrap-Up}
So, as soon as they got back from vacation, Ethan grew straight into Elder. I'm sad I didn't get to throw him a party, but having him still as an adult for the vacation was worth it!


Added a nice little section of memorabilia for Twikkii Island!


Family dinner! Everyone has their own choice of food. haha.


Ashlynn didn't miss her birthday, though!




Not much to say, just the teens being themselves!




Ashlynn had a day to herself!

SPOILER: Click to show

actually I was just using her as a guinea pig for a few community lots. Good thing I used her, too. Cause there were issues. I even forgot to finish the bathrooms of the park! tsk.

Wendy's turn to turn into an Elder!



Wendy decided to hire a saleswoman so that Ethan doesn't have to spend so much time helping the lost customers in their one-room store.

[insert slue of pictures that were meant to be taken - but not saved - here]


Carson, as an adult, moving out!


Another picture of Ethan and Wendy being cute. Can you tell I ship?



I guess when you age, you just don't care. Or maybe Wendy never cared about cleanliness..





As a non-eligible heir, Ashlynn moved off to college the day her sister grew to be an adult.

SPOILER: Click to show

I can't figure out how deep into hippy territory I want to make Ashlynn go. So I tried to go for a happy medium..

I also think we've found *cougherrmadecough* a possible suitor for the lovely Ashlynn!


Meanwhile, Audrey is still up to her old bathtub ways!


Yay, I actually at least have one birthday shot of one of the possible heirs growing up to adulthood!


aaaaaannnnnnndddddd that's all folks. We have the Bebeess Family, generations eight and nine as they are in my game! Thanks for watching!
Also, go here for the heir poll!

[Caitlin]

I can't decide whether I enjoy Aubry or Owen more... hmm, this will be a tough choice. It's funny how they all ended up with the same-ish LTW. Loved the generation.

[PlyPlay665]

You know what's funny? Ashlynn had the LTW to own 1 top level business too. I was like, "NOPE. I AM NOT HAVING ALL FOUR OF YOU OWN BUSINESSES. TOO MUCH WORK." So I changed it. haha. I also have sucked this whole time about spelling Audrey's name right. I was looking through the updates and I pretty much changed how I spelled it every time. It's actually spelled Audrey, lol. I'll have to go through and edit all the typos of her name. Gosh!
