Round Robin Legacy Generation 3

[Laura]

Hi everybody! Since I got to playing this evening - and took WAY too many pictures for my own good - have the first update of Generation 3 of our wee Round Robin.

SPOILER: Click to show

{+61 pictures - you've been warned!}








Our boy Spencer has been Laura'fied and added to Perpetua Vale, my current custom 'hood. And yes - I derped and completely mispelled his surname. ._. He moves into a small, but colourful starter lot which boasts a fully-furnished living space and a modest pond.

But enough about that! How has the transition treated our current heir?



Pretty well it would seem... if only he could smile or, you know, not actively scowl at the camera.



Much better. Gosh, he looks so happy.

'Look, I have an arm. An arm!'

Indeed. I haven't tweaked him too much from his previous incarnation - only, my defaults are a little maxis-matchy. I ended up switching out his eyes for some dominant custom ones I have - mostly because, with my brown eye defaults, he looked like Emmet Cullen's long lost brother. When it comes to passing on the Gen. 4 heir, I'll make sure to remedy this, should they inherit his brown eyes.



The remainder of this update is Walkbys: The Musical!



I swear: whoever made my naming mod was having a laugh. See this also.





Between the name and the unusual looks, this guy is a bit of an attention seeker. He didn't like it when Spencer was distracted by this lovely townie.





Spencer's LTW is fairly handy: Graduate 3 Kids from College. It means I didn't have to be choosy about the job he got. I opted for Medicine, with Politics and Architecture being the other posts on offer.





Ladies and gentlemen, I present the World's Girliest Kitchen. Spencer has no table or chairs to speak of, hence why he's stuck eating in there.











See what I mean? Greet ALL the walkbys!

All but the crazy elf lady were townies, yet none of them really appealed to Spencer except the brunette in the last picture. I had him roll bi, suspecting he would inherit Aminat's pickiness when it came to picking a mate - but none of the lads piqued Spence's interest either. Sigh. Here we go.



At this stage, there was quite a party in swing at the legacy lot.

But the only person scoring was -







- Mr. Redhead.

You have got to be kidding me.



Even Spencer finds this guy attractive...



...albeit grudgingly.





When Ginger Purple Girl started making herself comfortable, I knew it was time to ship the whole lot of these guys home.



Before that though, I had Spencer squeeze in a bit of flirtation with Purple Tracksuit here. She didn't brush him off, at any rate.





And so, to bed. In terms of spouse hunting, it could hardly be called a productive day's work - but eh. Tomorrow brings new opportunities - and fresh walkbys.



First day at work, and Spencer doesn't exactly look... elated.





When he got home though, he met some lovely walkbys. The red-head, he wasn't all that attracted to, but the brunet (unsurprisingly; brown hair is a turn on for ol' Spence) sparked two bolts. Also get this: his name is Hercules. I'd marry him in, for the lulz his name alone would bring.







The rest of the day was a bit of a bust; the townies were preoccupied by the pond, and the only thing Spencer had any luck with was the penguin. so cute

He did manage to afford a nice set of dining furniture though.







A promotion lead to the purchase of a chessboard. Playing faces are way too under-rated.





MOAR walkbys. You haven't seen the end of them yet! I'd love if Cheetah Dude could be a part of this legacy but alas - there was no bolts. Spencer definitely wasn't oblivious to Tracksuit Girl #2 however.



Spencer's TV had broken and, since he had a surprising amount of cash, I reckoned it was better to call a repairman than risk electrocution.

When this dame showed up with that face though... *gulp* What harm could a small electrical shock do, hmm?







She then proceeded to beat seven shades of crap out of the poor TV. Kids, this is not how you handle faulty electronics.

If she wasn't an elder, I'd so marry her in - bolts or not bolts.





Another pretty brown-haired walk-by.

(Also, the pond seems to have attracted a Smurf.)





I've finally cracked the secret of the FT hobby chance card: always choose the answer that seems least logical.



Another promotion! We're moving on up now~



I decided to throw a little party, inviting over the three people Spencer had the most bolts for. Only one accepted the invite. Heh, that's their problem. When they see what they're missing out on, they'll realise their mistake.

...That nose, you guys. Ted certainly left his mark on this legacy! I wonder will Honor here (yep, that's her name) have the same fate.







Welp, she's certainly having some impact on Spencer!





O hai thar, ACR. I was wondering when you'd kick in. Ahem.



Their date ended happily (so to speak) and so, Honor is definitely in contention to be the Gen. 3 spouse. But will she? Won't she? Who knows? There's definitely wackier townies around, that I wouldn't mind Spencer getting to know...



I leave you then, with further proof of Spencer's career prowess. Hopefully I'll get another, more fruitful update up soon - but I hope this served as a good introduction to Gen 3, and as an indication of what's to follow!

[Caitlin]

Love it! I've always loved the Maxis Match theme but can never actually get myself to play with it. I guess it's just something I like to look at in other peoples pictures.

Honor is a beautiful sim. I wonder what kind of pretty babies she and Spencer will make, if they make any..

Anyway, good start to the legacy so far!

[LadyofShalott]

Great update! Honor is so beautiful!
Those are some very different names haha. Mr. Redhead had me laughing though!
Can't wait to see what will happen!

[Samantha]

I agree. ^ Honor is a cutie! And your name hack is awesome, too.

I love all the different colored skins in your games. Your townies all have such interesting personalities--the ones in my game are sooo boring, haha.

Great update! Can wait to see who Spencer chooses for his spouse.

[PlyPlay665]

Yes! Your townies have to be the most interesting part of your story! So much variety!!! lol! You were so quick to make an update! I only hope mine is this quick! hah.

[Laura]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the update! I come with part 2.

SPOILER: Click to show

{a wedding, NPCs and the dawn of Gen the 4th. 100+ pictures!}


Spencer: young, handsome, free... but he's really looking forward to the shackles of marriage and children. Even though he's got a steady flame in Honor, I decided to let him greet walk-bys for another day, before having him settle.



Being sociable has its perks! I like Cheetah Guy all the more now.



This lady (what's with all the AL townies in this neighbourhood?) was pretty...





...but she discovered a soft spot for the alluring feline man.





He meets a couple other attractive ladies...



But there's only one girl on Spence's mind.







Honor Cairnes is going to be the next addition to the Bebeess family tree.





Made-over, she's very cute. Spence, you gone done good!



I dare say he knows it too.



She ran outside all of a sudden, and decided to pull a black sack out of her back pocket.



Her face, you guys.



It warranted a close-up.





She looks so damn pleased with herself!





Sadly, an unlucky chance card at work would spoil her mood. Not that I minded - her having a job was an unexpected bonus in the first place.





Looks like a crappy day all round for poor Honor.



She's got to be the happiest looking firee ever though (despite having an aspiration in the low red).



This is in direct contrast to Spencer, who's the most dour-looking promotee.



Honor knows exactly how to cheer him up though!



Somewhere in the middle of 'proceedings', one of them pops a heart. ♥





...What a thing to cheer about!...







It was worth a shot pleading for her old job. I'm sure if her puppy-dog eyes had travelled over the phone to her boss, she'd have gotten it back pronto!



Honor's a Family sim (like Spencer), with the LTW to marry off 6 kids... This alone should be enough to explain the ReNuYuSenso Orb.



Oops... no, I did not at all forsee that happening... *whistles*





'THE CHEESE... I CAN HEAR IT. What's wrong with me?'

I wish I could say that I'm sorry, but I'm totally not. Anyway, as you can tell from the complete Honor spam, I've grown attached to her.





Time for Spencer to make it official!









Well, might as well strike while the iron's hot...



I really wish I'd laid out less chairs.

And hidden the chessboard.









I love that the two chess players don't even seem to know that they're at a wedding ceremony. x)



'The name's Bebeess. Spencer Bebeess. I like my juice shaken, but never stirred.'



Honor could pass as a Bond girl, I reckon.



And off to Simaica they go...





The real honeymoon antics started as soon as they got back.



Better make the most of the alone time you've got left together guys, because that sounded an awful lot like a lullaby...



Obligatory cute townie pic. I'm sorry they don't feature more in this update, since you all enjoyed them so much last time!



The couple often bond while fishing - it's how they first built up their friendship, in fact.



I didn't capture the moment itself, but this was Honor's baby-bump reaction face.





These guys are a sweet couple - and they ought to be good parents too.



With funds from Honor's move-in sum and Spencer's promotions, the living room got a small facelift.



I thought it'd be nice for Spencer to have a little reminder of his mom and grandmother with him in Perpetua Vale, since they're not around in person. Crappy quality recolours, but it's the thought that counts!





Honor had a pretty easy pregnancy - shockingly. I made sure to capture that second bump pop.





Looks like I'm improving at this chance card malarky.



I swear, Spencer's significantly good at getting promotions. I've never had such an easy ride with a legacy family!



He then goes and lectures his heavily pregnant wife for busting up the sink. I bet he's such a patient doctor.



THEN THE MUSIC STARTED AND I NEARLY JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN.

She's too much of a cutie pie, to have such an ominous tune following her about.





Sadly, she's not the brightest crayon in the box. Try checking for alarms, when you're robbing a joint.

'HAR I'm going to rob these folks SO BAD -'



'- WAH! They have a house alarm! Nobody warned me about those!'





An (also charming) police officer shows up...



...and gets her ass handed to her by the jaundiced burglar. ._. All my NPCs are completely inept!



I seriously thought she was giving out to Spencer, for letting his house get broken into. xD



Oh bless. That's adorable. Maxis, you never stop surprising me with this game.



No hard feelings as far as Spencer's concerned!



Angry Repair Woman got invited back to fix the busted sink. Hmmm... without a scowl on her face, she's really quite cute. After this picture was taken, she started running to the bedroom. It didn't occur to me why, until the camera caught up with her.



BABY TIME!



Spencer could care less, I think. But not much.



I'M SO EXCITED -



- ah crap. And you know what they say: bad luck always comes in -



THREEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Damn it!





Well, you guys seem pleased with the first nooboo. Just wait. Wait and see how you feel when they don't stop coming.





Angry Repair Woman stopped caring and returned to her task. If this woman's life had a soundtrack, it would be all death metal with the occasional interlude of cathartic opera.





Baby #2...





...swiftly followed by the third and final baby. A girl.

They're ALL girls. Looks like the gender ratio of Bebeess heirs/spares is evening itself out!





And so we have Gloria, Fiona and Irene. Very mature names for squalling, gurgling infants, but I'm sure they'll grow into them! Ugh I can't believe I got triplets. The next while of playing is going to be hell.





I originally had two rooms set aside for children, but I ended up knocking the dividing walls and making the space into one big nursery for the girls. Thankfully I've been quite frugal with the Bebeess's household funds... or else we'd be running into trouble right around now!



Hah.

Hah hah.

Hah.

...

No, Spencer.



The lot loading screen. Got to admit, I feel a little sorry for the two adults.
More so for myself, though.





A freak accident involving lightning leads to a stupid one for Honor. You were two feet away girl, you could have made it!







Not a lot happened for Honor and Spencer over the next couple of days, bar midnight feeds and diaper changes. Not so bad when you've got just the one sprog, but when you've got three, who have synchronised crying spells, it gets downright stressful. The new parents had to put their own motives on the backburner for a while.





A sudden influx of visiting NPCs! I just deleted TwoJeff's Visitor Controller from my game (I've never used it) so all of a sudden, the gates were open for all arrivals. I must say though, these two were quite attractive and welcome visitors to the lot.





A request for garden club membership lead to the spawning of more wonderful townies. I'm really liking the ones I have in this neighbourhood!



Sadly, some NPC visits are for less... celebrated reasons.



If I thought the going was tough now...! The only thing worse than baby triplets are toddler triplets. *cries*



On the count of three...



Uno!



...Dos!



...Tres! Toddlerfication complete!







Here are the girls all made over - in order, they are Gloria, Fiona and Irene. I actually have a few more pictures I could post, but I think that's enough to digest for now! I feel like more happened in this update than the last, but in more pictures... I hope this didn't feel too dragged out for you guys! It may (or may not) be a while again until I post the next update. Either why, I hope you enjoyed the Bebeess's antics! There are FAR more to come...

[LadyofShalott]

Ack!! So adorable! That goes for Spencer and Honor as well as the triplets.

And triplets! I literally said "Ohhhhhh" out loud at that part. I've never had triplets happen naturally in my game; I think I forced it once and vowed never to do it again. All the luck, you're going to need it! 
They are really cute though! I like how Irene's the rebel of them with short hair. (And is that a recessive brown hair gene I spy in Gloria?) I can tell they're going to grow up very pretty.

[Laura]

Haha, yeah. Irene is a bit more tomboyish than her girlier sisters. She also looks quite different to the other two, who are near identical! Honor did manage to pass down her brunette genes to Gloria. The brown eyes and black hair is proving difficult to breed out though... as is Ted's nose. xD

I like triplets... I don't like the early stages of their lives, however! Once they get to be kids, they're great fun... which you'll see in this update!

SPOILER: Click to show

{girls, girls, girls and an errant hamburger. +140 pics!}


A quick snapshot of the family loading screen. Oh lord help me, I'm not looking forward to playing this.







Having three toddlers is hard work. Spencer and Honor do manage to steal into some time alone together… and naturally, they use it to try for more babies. No jingles this time, however!



Honor’s a good mum…





…though the children (particularly Fiona!) are wary when she gets cross.



If the kids aren’t being carried off to the toilet by their parents…



They’re playing in it! Damn it Irene…







Spencer also does his part in the girls’ upbringing.

This is as close to a family photo as I could get.







Although the girls do lovely things like this on occasion…



More often than not, this is what they get up to.



This too.



The house needed another quick remodelling, to fit in more dining chairs… but what’s Honor up to?





…

I friggin’ love this game.







Potty training facessssssssss~







There’s not a whole lot to say about this period in the Bebeess’s lives. Spence and Honor are really busy with the kids, but there’s only so many pictures of potty training, diaper changes, and huggles I can take!







Honor’s a far better clown than a hypnotist. Probably because she spends all of her time at home entertaining children!



The nanny, you guys. I'm thinking most of my single sims would hire her - whether they had sprogs or not!



Spencer though only has eyes for Honor.

'Doctor... I've got an area I'd like you to examine. I hear you have... specialist... expertise.'



For all my complaining, the girls grew up rather quickly!  They managed to learn all the toddler skills thanks to my their parents's encouragement and perseverance.





Let the toddler popping commence! Gloria and Irene grow up well, though Irene sort of resents the pink jammies she's been landed with.



This is what their parents were at while they aged up. Sigh. Ditto does not approve. However, they got jingles - the fourth gen isn't over and done with yet! This is definitely Honor's last pregnancy, however.



Honor covers up in time to see her (current) youngest grow up into a lovely young lady. Finally I can breathe a breath of fresh air. Kids are so much easier to take care of!



Updated family loading screen!







It was near impossible to get the three of them sitting down in one place, but here are the girls made over. They didn't stay sitting for long!





Gloria Bebeess.

This will possibly be one of the few pictures you see Gloria smile in. She has such a serious disposition, contrary to her star sign! Perhaps that just comes with being the eldest of three.





Irene Bebeess.

I love that Irene doesn't just look different from her sisters, but that she has a very distinct personality too! Irene's distinctively lazier than the other two; she loves to watch films and play pinball, as opposed to having a kick-around.





Fiona Bebeess.

The only difference in Gloria and Fiona's stats is that Fiona is both more active and less neat than her older sister. She's outgoing and vivacious... as well as a little self-centred.



The penny drops for Spencer that having a lot of children might not be a good thing... too late now, bud!



It's next to impossible to fit all the family into one picture. The best I could do was 4/5. :/



First day of school for the triplets. Don't worry girls, the bus drivers don't tend to bite... at least, they won't draw blood.





Fiona and Irene are quite different personality-wise, and this leads to the odd bit of teasing.

They're good buddies all the same.





In some ways Fiona is independent... and easily amused. Irene definitely enjoys the company of other Sims, while Gloria's a happy medium.



How many points do you need to fix an appliance safely? Spencer has well in advance of five. :[



All the girls friggin' huddled around him in concern, it was priceless. xD See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil...





Pop!

Telling the girls was fun.

'Mommy, you look like a wibbly wobbly road sign!'



Well, if it bested even the Angry Repair Woman.... xD Admittedly, her idea of 'repair' consists of banging the offending item with a spanner, soooo.... surprised, I'm not.



Girls, girls, girls...



A new baby won't stop Honor paying attention to her existing offspring. Spencer these days is focusing more on his career than his family.



All this studying and hard work is likely affecting his energy levels.



Second bump, and I realise this outfit (as much as I love it) is not well-built to cater for pregnancy.



Looks like Honor's penchant for grilled cheese is rubbing off on her daughters!





Now that the girls are old enough (and now that there are community lots in this neighbourhood), I thought it was time to bring the Bebeess on a family outing.

not just to test that the lot works I swear



Even the unborn Bebeess bump came along.



Whether it was a good idea to put the heavily pregnant mother in charge of the burgers remains to be seen.



I deleted a load of CC recently, including the flowers I'd used to decorate the bathrooms here. Now, they've been claimed by the Model Army.





Fiona and Gloria immediately make for the playground.



They get whirled around by a random townie... I don't think Fiona knows where to laugh or cry.





True to form, Irene wanders off and does her own thing.

I wasn't sure if she'd bottle it or -



- take the plunge!



She then tackles the ice skating rink... still in her swimwear.



After a shaky start, she's on a roll. I admire her dedication, attaching blades to her bare feet.





Soon all the girls are flying around on their skates. There's only one of the family that doesn't have an inherent knack for it...



Better stick to studying, Spence!



Witch ahoy!



This...

This is my love/hate affar with witches. So pretty... yet so laggy.



I have Irene strike up a brief conversation with her. It might be cool to have a little magic in the family...



I think the Bebeesses choose the right time to leave!



Back home, Gloria has a brush with the supernatural herself! I'm just waiting now for Fiona to bump into a vampire or something.



Just a few hours after coming home, Honor howls into labour.



Crappy picture, but it was the only angle that would fit all three into the shot.



Just one. Amen.







Honor gives birth to another healthy baby girl. She is certainly the last for this generation. I'm a little sad that she didn't have a boy, but eh. When her big sisters are as lovable as they are, I'm sure this baby will be in my good favours too.





The new addition's christened Leila. Gloria isn't sure about her, it seems.



Oh, the shock you guys. I thought she was pregnant again!

As it turns out, it was just all the grilled cheese catching up with her waistline.



Oops.





A maid has never seemed more demonic to me than at this moment.

She would of course take the parents' bed... something that's kind of necessary, it must be said.



What the -

You don't need to tell me! Tell it to Gloria.

It's too hard to keep my eye on what all the kids are getting up to at any one time. Especially with a new baby on the lot!



'If Gloria gets to miss school, why can't we? Not faaaaiiiiiiiirrrr~'

Irene, you are possibly my favourite right now.





After school - or not, in Gloria's case - playtime.



Spencer, you're the only reason this family isn't living on the lawn at this stage. He hasn't gotten much facetime this update, but he's very valued!





Irene might be an over-achiever, but Gloria's a philosopher.

'What's in a name? That which we call a lamp, by any other name would shine as bright...'



Honor's finally not-pregnant long enough to make some headway in her career.





Leila's birthday comes around quickly.



She's a cutie, and different again from all her sisters - but I'm thinking of omitting her from the heir poll. Even if she was included, she won't have as long to develop a persona as her sisters have, and with our small voting base, her inclusion might detract from the other potential heirs' chances. I don't know. What do you guys think?

EDIT: according to the ruleset Leila's automatically disqualified anyway. I didn't know how strict we're being about the rules, so I guess it's still down to you guys. I think I'd personally rule her out, but sometimes the youngest surpasses the elders in popularity, so maybe it's a bad idea to sideline her so early? xD





Lol. I really didn't know what way that was going to go. Spencer is the chance card GOD.



I must say, the Mime outfit is a vast improvement on Honor's clown look.



Irene makes an early start to her money-earning future.











She might be climbing the career ladder, but the chance cards are working against Honor at every turn.





Daddy-daughter time, across the ages/board.



Hell to the yes! I was wondering when my two legacy families would cross paths.





Young Rhodes has a blast with the young Bebeess ladies.

None of my legacies have normal surnames.



too soooooooooon







Spencer brings his work home with him.

I'm sure that hamburger wasn't necessary anyway...







Honor manages to strike a better work/life balance than her Family Sim husband.



This update's coverage is coming to an end... as is the triplets's childhood! That went quick.



Gloria's first up to bat... Irene and her new buddy Rhodes are encouraging.





As possibly predicted... she's a hottie! I have high hopes for all the Bebeess girls, but Gloria in particular was a very pretty kid.



She's a Knowledge sim who lusts after easy-going swimwear models.





The second eldest, Irene, is next to explode.



She's really growing into her looks, more so than her sisters! I'm really excited to see what she looks like as an adult.



Hmm, so she's a Popularity sim (very fitting!) who likes a mature partner with money and culinary prowess.

...we've got a gold-digger on our hands, guys! Though Irene definitely doesn't fit into the pretty-ditsy-young-wife mould.



Fiona doesn't make it to the cake before six.



Eeeheehee.

Those are 3/4 of the potential heirs, and we've you've got some lovely lassies to choose from.

I'm actually very glad to be excluded from the voting this round. Ok, the reason for my attachment to the triplets is because I'm the one playing them. But even so - I think it'll be a tough decision?



Perhaps it's Fiona who possesses the real golddigger spirit. She rolls Fortune, and is attracted to... footballers that small nice, but aren't that clever? I don't even.



Just one more birthday, then I swear - I'm done! A very radioactive Leila gets ready to stand on her own two feet. All the babies, grown up. It seems like only yesterday that Spence met Honor. In reality, that was probably about five days ago.



Leila grows up well, and is looking forward to dealing with her adolescent sisters's moodswings. I'll post her stats next update - which in reality will be the *gasp!* last of my round.

I hope you enjoyed this - rather lengthy - update! It was a lot of fun to play anyway.

Any thoughts? Heir predictions?

[Samantha]

Just read the last two updates, so my comments are for both:

Honor is actually the cutest. The faces she pulls are absolutely adorable! So photogenic.

Triplets! Oh my gosh. And a fourth little girl, what a big family. Voting this round will be difficult, haha. I don't know who I'm going to choose yet, either. Will have to see them as adults...

[PlyPlay665]

I don't have a huge opinion on the heir polls, although it wouldn't make sense to me, personally, to exclude the extra kids. It seems like a waste to me.. although the point about a small voter base makes sense.

I am not sure at all who I want to vote for, but I think I'm leaning a little towards Irene. She's got spunk.

[legrande]

I don't think I've said anything yet; but your game is so cool. It looks awesome; absolutely loving all the different townies and everything. They're so fun!

Ooh, I love the triplets, they're such characters! And awesome genes too!
Tbh, I think it's much simpler to just putthe three oldest up for heirs, but I don't know either way. It's going to be a hard choice anyway! xD

[Samantha]

Casual mod inquiry:

How's the next update coming, Laura?

[Laura]

I'm playing it as we speak. All the kids are teens, and I'll likely ship them off to college a little early, so everyone can see them as adults and I can launch an heir poll. I know it's a little past my deadline; I'm sorry! I'm aiming to be done playing by tonight, and I might possibly even post an update today too.

EDIT:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Boom! +120 pics. Lots of notification snaps}

Where else could I start but with a picture of the made-over triplets? They're beauties, the lot of them.



Although their baby-making days have long since passed, these two are still very much in love. Although I feel like Spence is becoming more and more of a dirty old man every day!







The girls off doing the things they love: for Irene, that's racking up a ginormous phone bill; for Gloria, it's homework; and for the two youngest, well, it's playing with/picking on each other, depending on what side of the torment they're on.





Fiona damn well knows how blessed she is in the looks department.



I could do with editing the description. Spencer's ready to pass his mantle onto the next generation, at this stage.



They're a serious learning family, between the pond and the wealth of skill objects around.





Fiona is such a bully. xD



Not that Gloria's Miss Innocent either.





Taking after her father... sort of.



I really am dreadful at keeping the service people's wages in mind.



I CHERISHED YOU. MADE YOU OVER EVEN.



AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!

You can see just how concerned the girls are in the background.







Honor loves her grilled cheese and doesn't care that it has impacted on her waistline... but her career necessitates a workout. So it is that the pink tracksuit makes its return to the legacy!



You know, I'd say nice job Spencer, but you've lived beside this pond for upwards of fifteen (Sim) years. How are you only getting a silver badge now?!

Though, as a matter of fact, I've never had a Sim get a gold badge in Fishing.









The girls, going about their day-to-day activities. Fiona often just sits there and pulls faces. Takes after her mother, I suppose.



A fond family fishes together!





Pretty walk-by is pretty.





Whoa, I'd just made Leila raid the bookcase to occupy herself somehow, when I noticed how quick she was gaining cleaning points.



I figured it must be down to the 10 neat points and WHOA TEN NICE POINTS?! Both Spencer and Honor have three, where the hell did you come from?



No points for guessing who gets Sister of the Year award in this house. ♥



Someone's not cut out for bench presses, despite her ten active points.





BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

The Entertainment career track has the best uniforms.



For the first time ever, all the Bebeesses were out of the house. I didn't know what to do with myself.



The sweat paid off - literally.





Irene brought Mattie Metamorphosis home from school. He wasn't good for first-kiss bait though, since none of the triplets found him attractive.



Water bombs it is!







The older Bebeesses are making headway in their careers.

I love that Honor equates earning a large sum with, I don't know, the birth of her children... and the eating of a grilled cheese sandwich.





Holy CRAP. This was after just a few hours of chess playing.

I've come to the conclusion that Leila is of superSim intelligence.



See? Clever ~

She's certainly not dwelling in her sisters' shadows academically.



So being a Juggler is more profitable than singing in a lounge bar? Hmm.









I've more or less given up on ever getting one of these right. What the actual fluff.



too soon



Hah, must have knocked poor Irene from her perch.







Mattie just couldn't handle the heat. Still, what a horrible way to be roused! (or is it doused ehuehuehuehuehue)



Irene meanwhile, is talking algebra with an handsome, angsty stranger. Could this be love?





What a nice thing to hear from work on your birthday. But aw, Spence. Y u grow old so soon??!







That's what I'm talkin' about - an age transition outfit I don't need to change. You keep on being classy, Spencer. ♥





Handsome 'n' Angsty scrubs up well.





And I'm not the only one who thinks so.



You know you've had a good shindig when the neighbourhood Sim/feline crossbreed goes at your easel.





Enthusiasm for you Gloria. You go, Gloria!



Beats me why, but Fiona just went and walloped the face off her elder sister. Irene could seem a little more concerned but smileeeeeeeeeeeees.





Sect?



Gloria inflicting her 'hobby' on her baby sister. Hats off to her though, she pays a lot more attention to Leila than Spencer or Honor do.



I sort of wish I'd adopted a pet. This dog was so cute!



....


Yeah, I don't know either.







Subtlety should be a requirement for becoming a gypsy. But I don't care, LAMP! (also, BASEMENT! which the Bebeesses now HAVE!)



So it was SuperKid who was granted three wishes. She's growing more and more in my favour.



Intense concentration, considering all she's doing is browsing Culinary interest blogs online. Does reading about Grilled Cheese really require that level of focus?



So, remember that witch Irene met at the park as a child?



She's gorgeous without the hat and with a little make up.



But that's not why I invited her to the party.





Tee hee!





Alright, making Irene a witch is more for my own pleasure than the sake of the legacy. But, magic!



She's just one step away from having a sing-song with a bunch of animated forest creatures.





I can't believe the last of the kids is growing up! It didn't go quickly per se, but I'm sad to be finishing up with my round.





Quite a turn-out, for a thirteen year old's birthday!





Urrp.

I wasn't expecting Leila to be this pretty! Talk about growing into your looks!









I took the tone of her makeover from her dress, and the newly-rolled aspiration. Her LTW? Have 50 1st Dates. Oh yes.



I don't think Spencer widely approves of his daughter's shenanigans with Handsome 'n' Angsty.



Irene makes sure he's out of the room before really getting down to business.





Facetime for Gloria, who's a great Sim, if a little boring. But brown hair; that's what she's offering the next generation.



Spencer's still got his job on the go, and darn it, he's getting to the top of the ladder.











Relations are stormy between the younger sisters. She might have ten nice points, but Leila isn't going to take any crap from Fiona, now that they're the same size.



I think their friendship will remain intact, however.



Good enough for her!



Honestly, I think he's more worried about her boyfriend than the witchcraft thing, even if his wants panel doesn't say so.





'Sis! I worked wonderful magic on you! Aren't you pleased?'

'Meh.'



Last shot of the loading screen. Spencer looks mighty pleased, with all those fine women surrounding him.



I wonder about these girls sometimes.



She might be magic, but Irene much prefers hogging the phone to casting spells.



I've had a lot of fun with these three. They're characters, though I can't imagine not having them all together at once! Thankfully that's not my problem.





...

I'm in awe.

Did you actually get a successful chance card Honor, or am I just dreaming?



'Wait! Should we check to see if any of our impressionable spawn are outside our window before getting it on?'

'Nah, sure it'll just save us giving them "the talk" later on.'

A+ parenting you guys.



Not to worry Fiona - I'm sure everyone looks like... that when they're on the computer.



Mandatory sexy smustle face for the round.





As well as the traditional spouse novel!





I'll always love you, Honor. Best frickin' spouse I've had in ages.



Yeah, Gloria's a real hit with the lads alright. A real hit... and miss!

...

I'll let myself out.



I was worried here. Spencer was at the second highest level; getting fired was not in his interests. And you know by now chance cards are not my strongest point.



I should really know to trust this Sim by now.





Top of the herd, Spencer! I'm so proud!

To him, though, becoming Chief of Staff is way down on his list of achievements.





And as his daughters head off to pastures new, eldest to youngest, Spencer knows handing over the title of heir to one of his children will be his proudest moment.

~~~~~~~

DONE.

Want to see the girls as adults? Then you better head over to the heir poll!

They're all so pretty and interesting, it was really hard to choose an heir this time around!

Having a bit of magic in the legacy might shake things up though. I really like how Leila grew up too!

[Laura]

Well, if Irene gets through technically she's not supposed to keep her witchiness, but eh. I love magic in TS2, it's so pretty... and funny, a lot of the time. 

I'm glad I don't have to vote, because I wouldn't know who to choose! I like them all enough though that I don't really mind who gets heir. I have a notion though of who's more likely to get it out of the four!
