Sierra takes her little brother to the park. There, she socializes with some friends from high school.
Unfortunately, little Dean isn't having much luck. Most of the boys on the playground are mean to him.
They give him side eye and generally don't want to have anything to do with him.
As evening falls over the town, Sierra meets two handsome twin boys.
Jaxen is a hot-headed foodie.
Rocky is an active, bro-sim.
Getting along with Jaxen comes very easy to Sierra. They share great conversations and their friendship blooms quickly.
But Rocky is so much fun to be around. He makes her laugh often and they get mutually flirtatious.
Time flies, and soon it's 1AM. Little Dean has been spending his time reading a book inside the cafe while Sierra was talking to the boys.
When she finally notices the time, she waves goodbye and takes her brother home.
Both boys are so handsome!! Which one would you choose for her?
(I'll put up a poll once they've become young adults!!)
Sierra is in light spirits the following day!
Isla has been working so hard lately. She's always tense when she comes home from work.
Justice suggests that the family goes on a vacation!
They break the news to the kids, who seem less than enthused about the trip.
Meanwhile, the Goth-McPersons are trying to move on.
Marshal has grown up into his teenage years. Being pampered in the mansion, he is a slob and lazy sim.
Astoria tries to get out to meet someone. But the bar is always full of women!! Oh well, better luck next time!
The McPersons enjoy their time around the campfire in Granite Falls.
Sierra strums some tunes on the guitar. She's been writing some songs of her own entitled, "Love Story", "Teardrops on my Guitar" and "Blank Space" (bonus points if you get the reference)
Unfortunately, Sierra is not to fond of the wilderness. BUGS. EVERYWHERE.
Dean also isn't a fan of the great outdoors. He spends the majority of his time watching TV in the cabin.
Justice on the other hand embraces his vacation!! He goes for a light jog first thing in the morning.
He chats up the resident Park Ranger.
And just breathes in the fresh air!! He can't wait to explore with Isla.
Justice and Isla explore the forest.
Unlike her daughter, Isla gets right in there with the bugs. She's always found beauty in nature.
Justice discovers a cabin in the middle of the forest. It housed a lot of different types of frogs! He spends an extraordinary amount of time in there.
Isla is very caught up in digging for collectibles and catching bugs!
The sunlight is starting to fade, and Justice is still very distracted by the collection in the cabin.
Isla wanders into a secret entrance she found in the woods...
As Justice emerges from the cabin, his wife is no where to be found!!
He returns to the campsite and quickly finds a Park Ranger to help him. A search team is sent out to find Isla.
But nothing is found after two days of looking.
Their vacation stay is up. Sierra is visibly upset that they have to leave Granite Falls without their mother.
Dean is too young to fully comprehend the magnitude of the issue. But he keeps on a serious face anyway.
That final night, Sierra has a heart to heart with her brother. There is a real chance they may never see their mother again.
Sierra sits by the campfire and becomes so lost in thought, that she accidently catches herself on fire!!
She manages to put herself out, but she's just so upset.
Sierra tries to comfort her younger brother, but I think that it's Dean who is really doing the comforting here.
Astoria Goth-McPerson finally meets someone new and charming. Walter White.
Walt is smart, driven and very crafty. Astoria feels safe with him and they hit it off right away.
They get intimate all the time.
But Walt's roommate, Jesse, seems to be a crowd.
Eventually, Astoria becomes pregnant. She breaks the news to Walt who doesn't take it very well at first.
But at Astoria's enthusiasm, he changes his tune. Since really, what can be done at that point?
Astoria is cautious about inviting Walt to move in. She knows he is expecting and invitation...
But his temper always gets the best of him. Astoria decides that it's best to just share visitation rights with Walt and the baby.
Back at the McPerson home, Justice returns to Granite Falls to look for Isla, He retraces his steps into the Deep Woods...
There he meets a cheerful old woman. The hermit!! He asks her if she's seen a woman fitting Isla's description. And indeed, she has!
Isla had gotten lost in the Deep Woods and was disoriented and exhausted when the hermit found her. The Hermit kept Isla safe at her cottage.
Isla was often dazed and confused. She looked for a way out but gave up trying to leave about a week after.
The Hermit taught Isla how to catch Mountain Lionfishes for dinner.
And that's how they managed to survive in the wilderness. Isla maxed her fishing skill!
It was a happy reunion!! Upon returning home, Isla was just in time to see both her kids age up!!
Sierra is the next heir being a self-assured Music Lover. She gains the "Cheerful" trait just like her mom.
Little Dean grows up too. He is a genius but inherits the "neat" trait from his Dad.
As for Isla herself? Well, she just makes sure she knows exactly where she is going and not to over-exert herself while fishing.
She still explores, but cautiously.
Here she is in Sylvan Glades with a guide book, map included!!
Isla goes on to collect some of the most rare fish in the game.
Sometimes, when Walt is behaving badly, Astoria doesn't feel bad resorting to a little voodoo to keep him in line.
And soon, baby Holly Goth-McPerson is born!!
Angus is now a very proud Grandpa!
But the jubilation is short-lived. Angus is passing away of old age.
Astoria mourns her father. Living in the big old Goth mansion with just Marshal and the baby could get pretty lonely.
Isla watches from funny shows. What was that about keeping her emotions in check?
Apparently the anchor is hilarious...
Like side-splittingly so.
Time to just chill out and take a playful bubble bath, girl.
Justice becomes an elder.
So what do these two hoodlums do? Isla dares her husband to go streaking in his new found body.
Aaaand there he goes...
Clearly Isla thinks this is hysterical.
So hysterical, in fact, she keels over and dies!!
Anyways, I'm a big lair. This was no surprise but very planned. Some favouritism is happening over here. Real Life Jimmy likes Isla so much he wants her to die young and happy. So there you have it.
Uck, this was such a painful scene to watch with Real Life Jimmy. He was so sad. He wanted her to live forever.
That's it, we're going to renovate this kitchen after Isla's passing.
So, we're going to make an exception. Jimmy and Liberty's ghost is displayed in the foyer to haunt the grounds. All other sims get shipped off to the local graveyard. But we're going to let Isla's urn stay on the property so she can come back and visit.
Real Life Jimmy had me make a collection room for her fish and stuff and that is where her urn is displayed.
So now Isla comes back every so often. She's the happiest ghost on the lot. Always giggling and doing mischievous things.
Mourning the loss of her mother, Sierra has a heart to heart with Jaxen.
Rocky also comes over, so she tries to vent to him too.
But Rocky's laid back attitude doesn't make Sierra feel heard at all.
Dean heads out the the bar to drown his sorrows.
There he meets Emmanuel... who seems to be making googley eyes at him from across the way.
Emmanuel is handsome, but now Dean has to come to terms with his own identity. He is totally NOT sure if he should make a move!
They take a very chummy photo together.
Finally, Dean makes a move!
And it was very well received!! =D
So much so, that they end up in a very sweet but passionate kiss.
Dean liked it so much, he put a ring on it.
That night, Dean kneels down by his father's side as he always did as a child (he did this automatically! I didn't know teens could do this!)
Justice is busy researching stocks... no not really, he's playing Sims Forever actually LOL
Dean makes a big move to come out to his father.
Justice is horrified. It's not something he expected, nor was it something he wanted to discuss.
He completely shut down the topic and refused to talk about it further. Much to Dean's dismay.
Dean goes to mourn his mother, Isla. She would have understood...
He looks for the next best thing, his sister. At first, it almost seemed like Sierra was scolding him for bringing up the issue.
But she was just telling him that he should know that was how Justice/their dad would've responded. Sierra tells her brother not to mind their father and to keep living the life he wants.
She comforts her brother in his time of need and Dean feels a lot better.
Rocky comes over one day and Sierra is feeling particularly flirty.
She uses her newly added "Beguile" ability. It's not long before she takes his hands and leads him up the stairs.
Less start off with a little massage hmmm? Nothing going on here...
Giggling and just bumping shoulders. Perfectly innocent. They don't really have anything in common though.
Welp. I guess that's exactly what Sierra wanted.
It was really hard to get them to talk to each other though. Their pink relationship bar was maxed but their green bar was less than half!
Anyway, later that night, Sierra and Dean have dinner together.
Justice is still kind of avoiding the opportunity to talk to Dean. He's busy upgrading and repairing stuff around the house.
Easy there, old timer.
This was when I put up a poll for the Sims 4 community to vote for who Sierra should choose to be with - Rocky or Jaxen.
At first, votes were leaning towards Rocky, so Sierra and Rocky had a little fling. But in the end, the poll results were in favor of Jaxen.
Jaxen's friendship bar with Sierra is maxed, but the pink romance bar was at 1/5 from autonomous flirting.
Here was the poll: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/815459/valentines-day-vote/p1
So it's time to pick the boy! Sierra invite Jaxen over to the McPerson residence.
Justice seems to be pleased that there is company over.
Sierra works her magic and drinks up a flirty potion. This potion was actually bought with Isla's points (she had so many). But Isla never used it.
The girl sure knows how round up some good massages. LOL
Romance interactions while sitting are the best. I kind of wished they brought back the Sims 2 version of Making Out hahah.
After taking absolutely FOREVER, here they go!!
Sierra is just the MOST romantic. She asks Jaxen to leave but then catchs up with him to casually suggest that they get married. Y'know, no big deal. Jaxen accepts, because what are you going to do? Say no to our legacy heir?
Rocky was invited (don't expect a disaster there, right?) and wasn't prepared for the actual shock of seeing Sierra and Jaxen sealing their marriage with a kiss.
Rocky is totally gutted.
Moped around for the entire reception.
Sierra drops a bomb on Jaxen during their nuptials. She's pregnant! Jaxen is also, unprepared for the news. Geez, this girl is going to be the death of both of those poor boys ROFL
Sierra takes some time out of the day to try and console Rocky.
Rocky feels a little better and they hug it out.
Aaaaaaand cue morning sickness. Urrp.
There is some lingering affection that may prove to be dangerous later.
Back at home, Dean sleeps in his bedroom. Ghost Jimmy comes in to see him for no reason.
I don't know what you were expecting, Jimmy.
A few days later, it's time for Justice to pass on.
One of the only sims to die from old age in our family.
Justice has lived a very fulfilling life... albiet kind of boring in my opinion.
Dean comes to mourn his Dad despite their differences.
Sierra is less aware of what happened LOL. Her and Jaxen continue on their lives as normal.
She goes through a nesting phase, cleaning the house all over.
Cleaning reminds Sierra of her dad's Neat trait. Liberty walks in on her and tries to cheer her up.
But the sight of the ghost finally makes Sierra sob and mourn her father's passing.
Sierra puts on a smiley face when it's time for Dean's birthday and transition to young adulthood.

Real Life Jimmy wanted the original Legacy "box home" to become the foyer of our Legacy residence.
So here was Jimmy when the legacy started. NO WALLS. LOL
And this is where we are today! I'll post interior pics soon and take you guys on a tour.
Rocky also comes over, so she tries to vent to him too.
