10.0

Admittedly, I haven't played very much. In fact, all I've done is create Freesia in CAS and move her in. But I have pictures to document the milestone!

SPOILER: Click to show

As you can see, I moved Freesia into a trailer park--that Maxis one that I made over in my own style. I ran out of starter homes in my 'hood and didn't feel like building a new one for her.

I'm am sooooooooo late with this, and I'm sooooooooo sorry. This is the first time I've opened my game in over two weeks. I hope that I'll be able to get some more playing time in tomorrow morning, so check back fro updates!

[Laura]

Freesia looks so pretty in your game!  Looking forward to seeing how she carries on the line, especially with this being the last generation. Can't believe it's coming to an end!

[Samantha]

^ Thank you, Laura! She's wearing all of the makeup you packaged her with. It was so pretty!

10.1

70+ pictures and lots of dating for this Pleasure Sim!

Let's begin with another look at our heiress, Miss Freesia Bebeess! I did go ahead and give her the recessive genes that Laura mentioned, so she's got some hidden green eyes and red hair within her. She looks so adorable with her alien eyes.

SPOILER: Click to show

This is inside her trailer. She had her full 20,000 simoleons minus rent to decorate, so it's looking pretty nice.





She doesn't find anything of interest in the newspaper in terms of a job. She has the wants to joi




She decides to befriend this stray dog and quickly regrets it.



Her first prospect of a husband is seen! She quickly hits it off with Nery turner.



Ryan Wheeler: I want to be friends too...



And ACR takes over   (even though they only have a singular bolt of chemistry together)





Traffic jam!



The date goes well    Freesia's LTW is to have 50 dream dates, so this is #1!



She gets a job in the culinary career track. I think it's pretty fitting.



Off to her first day!



What a star.



She has the next day off so she heads to the park to go man hunting. Brandon Lillard is there and they get to talking, learning that they have a bolt of chemistry together. She asks him on a date right there and then. 



She asks him on a date right there and then.






Is there nothing more romantic to talk about than grills?!



#2



Nice skirt



Well, she invites him over the following day as well...



You can say she got quite lucky on that green couch of hers.



What's this? Freesia's placing a call...







bb you're so cute!



D'awww. I just love kittens in this game.



So Freesia has chemistry with a bunch of different men, but they're all only single-bolters. She decides that her love life needs a little help. Five thousand simoleons worth...



Freesia: Please don't be a loser. Please don't be a loser



And it's a playable.

Norval Blind is a spare of my other legacy going on this 'hood. Looks like he's not going to be her Mr. Right.



*SEETHES* THEY ARE THREE-BOLTERS!



Whatever. She'll have some fun for the time being. They can't have babies together, but at least they can enjoy each other's company for the time being. After all, she did pay quite a bundle for him.



Freesia: Haha. No.





The date is nice but it's unfortunately not a dream date.





Freesia, you suck at darts.



Oops.



Is that enough food for you now, Jitters?



Rockin' the drive-thru uniform.



She decides to have another date with Norval. She wants at least one bouquet of dream-date flowers from him to add to her collection!





There we go.





Jitters is feeling abandoned again.



With still no prospects for a husband, Freesia decides to take another trip into town, this time to the community pool. She meets many contenders:

This creepy bearded guy.



One of my favorite townies, Kennedy Cox, who she has no chemistry with.



Alphabet soup.



And finally Amin Sims, who she gets her flirt on with.



There's also this Angus dude but I think I want a Maxis townie for the facial diversity, you know?



Moving on up in the world.



So here's a screenshot of all her suitors. The only one I really like right now is Amin, even if they are only one-bolters. I've already figured out what his turn-ons (full-face makeup and fatness) and turn-offs (actually I forget this one) are, so she'll be trying to pander to those in order to boost their chemistry.



What what what? I've never seen this interaction before!









~the booty call~



Boy, you look pleased with yourself, don't you, Freesia?



After Norval leaves, she decides to call up Amin.









I guess he's kind of a non-autonomous booty call, too.



Then the next day she rolls this want...does that mean you're ready to get married!



Pretty snow-covered roses. I think this is...#4? (I missed #3 somewhere along the way.)



I could have sworn you had gray eyes as a kitten, Jitters...



Freesia: Amin, I'm asking you, over this piping hot bowl of chili...will you marry me?



Amin: Yes! Yes, I will! I love you, Free.

Freesia: I love you too, Amin.



Clarence: Is there MEAT in this chili! Mm-mm! *gobbles*



Jitters: meow?



Jitters: *Zzz*



Freesia: What?! I didn't do anything.

*baby chimes*



Jitters gets a job.



And I'll leave you for now with a pictures of him sitting smugly on the bed! Next time, babies?! And, yeah, a wedding of some sorts.

Ahh...hopefully I should get some more playing done maybe tomorrow night? Gah. I'm awful this round. I think I'm already at three weeks and counting.

[Samantha]

10.2

34 pictures!

So we return to Freesia's humble abode! trailer park.

SPOILER: Click to show

And pick up right where we left off, with Jitters getting disciplined by Freesia for being on her bed.



He looks so remorseful.



Freesia has some great neighbors. They show up at her house and bring all the drama.



Five dream dates so far. She's 1/10 of the way to completing her LTW (lol).





Way to go, Jitters. Champ status.



Freesia: Everybody needs a day off once in a while.

(Actually, it's for her wedding.)



Jitters: *meow?!*

Translation: Must I carry this family on my back?!



This could go terribly wrong, I feel.



A beautiful winter bride.





Yes, yes, kissy kissy, smoochy smoochy. You're in love, we know.



She's a blushing bride!



OMG> what a wedding party...



Aaaaaand she pops in the middle of her party, before the rings have been exchanged. 

I guess you're not deserving of white, anyway...



Well, it's now or never, right?









Amin Sims takes the Bebeess last name, and brings a small fortune into the family.



W00t



Yeah, so, Amin wants to join the military.



Hehe he's stuck cleaning up his wife's morning sickness. What a great hubby.



I think I took this picture just to show that he's already at the TOP of the slacker career track??

(These pictures are from Sunday, I should mention; it's late Tuesday night right now.)



Freesia and Amin make over their spare room into a nursery. Jitters, of course, has to check it out for himself to make sure it's up to par.



Jitters: *sits*



Amin doesn't like Bruce Rauscher for some reason.



*pop* 

Third trimester!



I love Jitters.



So does Amin. I love men and animals. 



In an effort to make Freesia more attracted to him, Amin studies cleaning. Freesia likes clean men.

And also in an effort to make Freesia more attracted to him, he starts walking around half-naked.



Amin sleeps while his wife goes through agony and torture labor.



And the first baby is a boy! All I know for sure is that he has his dad's skintone. And I'll leave you all at this dramatic cliffhanger, waiting on the edge of your seats to learn his name and definintely not because I forgot what I named him.

[Samantha]

10.3

58 pictures featuring lots of woohoo, Amin's debut novel, and the birth of the second baby of Generation Ten!

Amin: That's a good little Amin Jr.! Who's my little man? You are! You are!

SPOILER: Click to show

No, we did not name him Amin Jr.



And then Amin sets Holden down right in front of the stove, which prevents him from being able to get his tv dinner.



Noooo. Def didn't see that coming.



Oh, and here's a closer look at Holden. He's got his dad's light blue eyes and, would you look at that?, his mom's recessive red hair. Go figure.



Meanwhile outside...



Amin!

Amin: Wut...? 

No, you're not a bad parent at all. Nope.



And then when it's Freesia's turn to take care of Holden, she's not much better either.



At least the cat gets plenty of love.



How quickly they grow up. Suprisingly, Holden survives his infancy without being taken away by a social worker.





Carrot top.



Not that Holden's a bit older, Freesia and Amin decide to have a romantic evening to themselves in order to concieve their second child...



Back rubbin'



Then to the bedroom...





No baby bells, so they make out a little, to keep the romance going...



This time they try the closet. Jitters is pretty used to such a sight. Holden, however...

(All in all, I believe they tried four times that evening without a pregnancy. Freesia was so tired she nearly passed out by the end of the night.)



The face of disappointment.



So the next evening, they try the OTHER closet. Yes, the one in the nursery. 

Would you all at least put Holden in another room?!



Nope.

A+ parenting, guys.



We're up to "try for baby" #7.



Finally



I love this interaction <3. Toddlers and cats are too cute.



Oh, yeah, Amin still hasn't found a job in the military yet.



Freesia teaches Holden how to talk!



Holden: I want food! I want food! MOMMYYYYYYYY!!!!

Freesia: We never should have taught him how to talk...



And Amin finishes up the last of his toddler skills.



Uhhh...naked slow dancing? Okay.



Freesia is pregnant!



Well, they do say men think about it every eleven seconds...



More traffic jams...

or, more artistically titled, "family portrait."



*le sigh*



Even as trees are catching on fire, everybody still likes to hang out outside during a storm...



Five minutes later...



Holden celebrates another birthday!





Ew. That hair must go. You look like Komei.

(That hair will always remind me of Komei.)



And immediately after his hair cut, he has an accident on the bathroom floor. Right in front of the toilet.



The final trimester!



I swear, pregnant Sims are the worst cooks.



Finally! Amin is on his way to fulfilling his LTW.



Hackneyed giving-birth-in-the-bathroom photo. Why do they always happen to be in the bathroom? I ask you.



It's a girl! I like the name Acacia a lot, although I'm not too fond of the assonance with "Freesia."



WOW. Holden and Acacia look nothing alike.



Well, well, well. Look what Amin wants to do...



Nice. Real nice. It's not like we're PAYING you or anything.



Ugh, Freesia...

What did I say about Jitters getting all of the love in this house?



Speaking of Jitters, he rides in style.

(oh my gosh, look at all those bills I forgot to have someone pay.)



Freesia, with both her husband and cat working, decides that she can quit her job to focus more on raising Holden and Acacia (and fulfilling her 50 dream dates LTW...which may or may not include Amin).





To celebrate Amin's promotion, he and Freesia have a date. It doesn't go well.

"or at least I am"



Well, actually, writing has taken up a lot of Amin's time lately. Taking a cue from Cal, Ted, Honor, Alessandra, and whatever other legacy spouses I missed, Amin pens the next great Simnation novel.



Like I said.



Amin: Nailed it.



Then is Acacia's birthday.



Oops. This picture has that weird flatten/fishbowl effect from tab+Xing one too many times. My bad.



And I'll leave you here with this picture of Acacia and her new hairdo as a toddler!

[Samantha]

10.4

Moar babies! 35 pics.

We start back with Holden being a good little student and doing some homework!

SPOILER: Click to show

What kind of homework is that, Holden?!



And the only thing in the house to eat is dessert currently. We ran out of groceries, and it seems that Amin has been hitting the bakery a lot...



Right.



Meanwhile, it's date night. I like the idea of having only two children, but I also really want to pass along Freesia's alien eyes, so I give in and let them try for a baby again.



It takes four tries before baby bells are heard. But Freesia seems pretty happy?

Freesia: *rubs tummy*



They keep the romance alive, at least.



Toddler Acacia starts learning her skills.



EW



I didn't know this was a thing!



And life at the trailer park is kinda nice.





Holden teaches Jitters some of his skills for his job.



First baby bump!



Amin looks good in his military uniform.



Thanks, Holden. Jitters had needed that last skill for promotion for, like, a week now.



Then it's Acacia's birthday.



And Mommy pops before she has the chance to grow up.



There she is!



We don't have room for a weight bench, so Amin gains his body skills the old-fashioned way.



One day, Amin, one day...



Acacia looks a lot like her father.



Especially from the profile.



All that hard work...for nothing...



Holden's birthday!



Again, another Amin look-alike.



He's so handsome!



Stats.



And a makeover!



Then Freesia goes into labor.



nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

this wasn't supposed to happen!!! We don't have room for raising twins!

(You know what I forgot? It didn't even occur to me until now. Amin had been feeding the family CHEESECAKE for days.)



The first baby is S1 with her dad's eyes and brown hair.



And the second baby has alien eyes! Okay. That's good at least. 

Also her skintone's slightly darker--S2, I believe.

Wow, Holden really is the oddball out amongst these children.




So, yeah, they're both girls. Gemma and Venus. Venus is the only with the alien eyes.



And since there's no room in the house, I stopped playing here. Next time, I'll have them living somewhere else.

[Samantha]

10.5

I know, I know. I'm, like, super behind with this. Like, two months behind. I'm going to try to finish it up this weekend, I promise! Anyway:

63 pictures!

So in case ya'll need a little reminder! Here's a lame family portrait. Freesia married Amin Sims, and they have four children together: Holden, the oldest child and the only boy; Acacia, the middle daughter; and twins Gemma and Venus (who has alien eyes!). They also have a cat named Jitters.

SPOILER: Click to show

So, right, their trailer got a little too cramped, so they moved into this lovely cliff-side house.



First floor...



And second floor. Which is completely furnished because I'm lazy...



So Freesia decides to get dressed up for Halloween! She's going as a vampire!



And so is hubby Amin. He actually looks quite good like this.



Then our vamp heiress decides to head down to Pet Barn to get a mate for Jitters!





Here's Pumpkin Spice! A throwback to Pumpkin from Generation One, y/n? (Who didn't grow up all that pumpkin-y anyway.)



She's got two different colored eyes.



And when Freesia comes home from the pet store, she's greeted by the gardener she hired.

Gardenersssss

What a glitch



At least the agency is being diverse in their hiring practices.



It's a bit hectic at the moment with four children in the house. Holden helps out when his parents' hands are full.



Jitters is the breadwinner of the household for sure.



Pumpkin Spice is a huge cat.



Grrr



Freesia is starting a garden!



And then it's the twins' birthdays.



First up is Gemma.



And then Venus! I like how they both grew up with light brown hair. Maybe I'll keep that...



There's an empty couch right there, Amin.



Venus finds the leaf pile outside.



Hehe Amin is on raking duty.



What's wrong, Jitters?!



*sigh*

Is this what you do in front of guests, you two? Really??



At least they're cute 



Oops. It's the twins' birthdays again. Wait till you see how different they look from each other! 



Gemma.





And Venus. I think Gemma looks like Dad, while Venus looks like Mom.



Ew bugs.



It's very difficult for these two to get any alone time. Yeah, I don't think Freesia's going to be able to complete that 50-dream-dates LTW...



Acacia and Gemma get into a little tiff.



And the older sister wins!



Oops. I missed Freesia's transformation.

Hm. I'm not sure I have any black clothing for Fressia to be a good vampire...



This will have to do.



Yay! Acacia's birthday.

I don't know why I'm so excited for her to grow up. (I think she's my favorite this generation.)





She's a pleasure sim like Mom. And, sure, why not have her be turned on by werewolves?



Acacia's teenage makeover. She dies her hair an unnatural shade of orange.



Rockin' that white-on-white, Free. Nice.



Finally they put up greenhouse walls around their garden. And by that I mean: I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.



Amin's got the writing bug again...



How the heck his books do well is beyond me.



And it's our oldest's birthday! Adulthood, here we come!







Uh oh.



Well, he recovers. And he looks quite handsome in his new threads.



Finally Freesia's tomatoes are ripe!



Amin, Amin, Amin...

It's taking him forever to complete this LTW.



I shouldn't laugh at this. It's sad. I'm sorry, Holden.



So to help cheer him up, we call the matchmaker for a blind date.



Kaylynn Langerek. They've got two bolts together.







The date is very nice. Holden even gets his first kiss. 

I'm so bad with having teenagers have romance...most all of my Sims don't have their first kisses until they're adults...



Holden gets a job in the dance career track (his LTW is to be a world class ballerina) and then promptly loses it.



He's in rough shape.



Well, maybe this will cheer him up.



A puppy! dog. Holden calls him "Theo."



And then, because it's time and this house is too crowded, Holden and Theo head to the bin to wait for his siblings to age up.

I might get some more playtime in tonight! Expect another update very soon.

[Samantha]

10.6 - The last update

46 pictures featuring a lot of cats!

We begin with the cats of the generation, ahem, getting it on.

SPOILER: Click to show

Jitters and Pumpkin Spice are going to be parents!



Jitters is going to be one old parent.

He retires from his job with a pension of over $170 a day.



They're so proud when they do this.



Here's Jitters showing his gray hair.



Kittens!



There's a girl and a boy. The girl is "Raeven" and the boy is "Onyx."



awwww



It's the twins' birthdays! What's wrong, Gemma? Why do you look so upset?



Venus grows up without her alien eyes!

I think the teenage stage for these are borked. I went into SimPE and checked her out and, sure enough, she's got the same eyes as her mother. For now she'll have to rock these creepy blue eyes.

*shivers*



And here's Gemma. She's a Romance Sim while her twin is a Family Sim.



Makeover time! Venus.



And Gemma.



Family portrait? (Only poor Onyx missed the picture.)



Since she's getting close to adulthood, Acacia decided that she'd start looking for a job now. She wants to be in the slacker career track.



Unfortunately, there's nothing available.



She she ages up jobless.



Nice cornrows.



The twins actually hate each other. Like, actually. They're enemies.



Our heiress dyes her gray hair back to jet black!



The three sisters both have rolled wants to flirt/go on dates/etc., so they decide to head to the community pool to see who's there by way of date potential.



Acacia hot-tubs in the nude.



Why so angry?



It's probably because all of her flirts keep getting rejected.

Maybe you should try for a guy who's NOT MARRIED next time, yeah?



So it's time for Acacia to move out. She takes with her one of the kittens, Onyx. Here's a family dinner of the remaining Bebeesses.



It's time for Amin to enter elderhood! However, I forgot to take a picture of him as an elder. Oops.



Gemma: You're younger by two minutes and you're weaker!



Whut?



Raevan grows up into a cat! Wow, she's the perfect combination of her mother and father. I mean, seriously...



Father-daughter bonding?



Venus brings a friend home from school whom she's really fond of. His name is Steven something-or-another. She asks him on a date. (Gemma, the romance sim, is very jealous.)





First kiss!





And she even asks him to go steady!



Uh-oh. How did I manage to miss the heir's dying?

Yes. RIP Freesia Bebeess. 



Aww. Pumpkin Spice is so sad 





Finally the last of the generation is growing up!



Gemma.



And Venus--with her alien eyes!



Haha. Oops.

And so, yeah, that's basically it. 

Venus, the Family Sim, is going to take over her parents' estate. She'll stay here in the house with her dad, tend to the garden, and look for Mr. Right while aspiring to make it to the top of the education career track.

Gemma moved out with Raevan. She and her older sister, Acacia, are sharing a house on the other side of town. The two sibling cats are reunited! Gemma and Acacia are going to be good housemates because they're both just looking to have fun--one's a Pleasure Sim and the other a Romance Sim.

And Holden, of course, is living with his wolf-dog Theo in an apartment.

I have final pictures of them with their stats and everything which I'll throw up in the next post!

[Samantha]

Generation Eleven

Note: The genetics in parentheses refer to recessive genes.

If anybody would like one of these Sims, I'd be happy to share! (Acacia and Gemma seem to be dupes, unfortunately.)

[Caitlin]

I would LOVE Venus, she is so beautiful!

[Laura]

Wheeeeee! Can't believe we're DONE! It's been a long journey, but your round was a great end to the Round Robin.  All the kids turned out gorgeous! Happy to see Freesia had a good time your game too.

Just an idea, but maybe we could set up a Bebeess sim sharing thread? I know I'd definitely like to nab some of the heirs/spares along the line for townie matter... _{though not in the neighbourhood I played my two rounds in!}

I like that! I mean, the only issue would be if people didn't have the heirs/spares anymore...

I was planning to do a little, like, "wrap-up" thread with a bunch of pictures to review the legacy's memorable moments (now just to find the time!). We should definitely couple it with a Bebeess sharing thread! I'll try to work on it for this weekend? (No promises, but I'll make a strong effort.)
