The Palmer Legacy Story

MKSizzleMKSizzle Posts: 557 Member
Hello, all. So I have been wanting to share my Sims Legacy story for a while now. I was told I could post it in this forum, so here I go. Now, bear with me. I am going to be rewinding things a little bit from my current situation, and starting from the beginning. That being said, there may be some pictures you have already seen, so I apologize if it seems redundant. I just thought it would be nice to include it in a story so, seeing it in context, it might be appreciated more. (Or not, who knows haha). Anyways, without further ado I give you:
The Palmer Legacy

Chapter 1

This is Zack Palmer. At 24 years old, he decided it was time to take the leap into adulthood, so he bought a huge plot of land...and a bed. He was very proud and was looking forward to building his dream house from the ground up. Now, he just kinda sorta has to get one of those job things... Money is important, right? Perhaps, he might also find someone to share it all with.

Ah, the great outdoors.

Well, Zack did find a job. He took the first one he could find, and it was with the local police department. His job was going great and he became great friends with his partner. Things were going very well and he was happy... Except he was romantically striking out. Everyone girl he met was either taken, or not interested. Zack was about to give up until one night after work, he was catching a late dinner with his work partner, Blair Wainwright, and he noticed something he had never noticed before. Blair was cute, funny, sweet, and oh yeah, his best friend. Blair was The One and she had been right in front of him the entire time. He hinted at his feelings and she coyly smiled and looked down at her plate, and Zack's heart swelled. Yup, he was in love, and the rest, is history.

Zack and Blair got married with the local court house as soon as humanly possible. Who has time or money for a big wedding, anyway?

    Chapter 2

    After settling into married life, Zack and Blair Palmer were content and madly in love. They also saved up enough money to build a little tiny house on that huge plot of land. Things were going amazingly well and it wasn't long before Blair discovered she was pregnant.

    The happy couple were ecstatic and it made them even more crazy about each other than they were before, if that was even possible.

    Blair was so excited, she felt like a child again!

    After a while that seemed like an eternity, Blair gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Amelia. Zack was in love all over again, now, with two lovely ladies.

    Chapter 3

    The years went by, and Amelia grew and so did the Palmer family and, of course, the love.

    Chapter 4

    Amelia loved to play pretend and was Daddy's Little Princess.

    Blair loved her children and wanted them to learn and grow, so she read to them and helped them whenever they needed help with their homework.

    Chapter 5

    As the years went by...

    Amelia grew from being a child into her teen years...

    Being Daddy's Little Princess, it was difficult to bring home her first real boyfriend. The young couple tried to convince Zack that Jamie was worthy. It was a hard sell.

    Zack gave him a hard time, but finally he admitted Jamie was a fine guy and that Amelia was free to date him. Then prom night came and Amelia was looking more beautiful than ever.

    Chapter 6

    Not far behind Amelia, Benson was growing up as well.

    And also met his high school sweetheart, AnneMarie.

    And boy, did he love his video games.

    He was an awesome big brother to Adam and would play catch with him. Adam wasn't very athletic, though. It was the thought that counted though, and Adam loved his brother for hanging out with him.

    Chapter 7

    The Palmer family was as happy as any family could be. The kids were happy and Zack and Blair grew more and more in love with each other every day.

    Blair never gave up her childlike spirit either.

    Blair could be a bit goofy and Zack loved to give her "the look".

    But in love, they were.

    Chapter 8

    Adam was watching his older siblings grow up and couldn't wait to be a teenager and do everything they got to do. Being the youngest was really hard.

    NJpoQvk.jpg

    But Benson took Adam under his wing and made sure he had a great time. They really were best friends.

    HPNbBNj.jpg

    Adam wanted to find love just like Amelia and Benson. He felt that maybe he wasn't cool enough, and a little nerdy, for any of the popular girls to like him, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try. One night, he was walking around town and he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen at the local pool. He went over to introduce himself. Her name was Connie.

    They instantly liked each other, and stayed up all night that night, talking and watching the stars.

    When prom came around, both Palmer boys went with their girlfriends and had a blast. Zack and Blair insisted on taking pictures of Benson and Adam all dressed up and looking so handsome.

    Adam just wanted to get on with it.

    The dance was amazing.

    Chapter 9

    Love was definitely in the air when Jamie proposed to Amelia. She was on cloud 9 and so excited like a giddy little school girl.

    S9ORgE8.jpg

    The wedding was held in the back yard, and it was beautiful. All the friends and family came to watch Amelia go down the aisle. And of course, the Father of the Bride was getting teary eyed while he walked her up to give her away.

    FalhnpU.jpg

    Here's to the happy couple!

    Benson was a proud brother. He enjoyed himself, for sure. But it got him thinking about what he wanted for his future. He wanted to marry AnneMarie, but he definitely did not want so much ado over it. He was thinking he would rather just run away and elope the second he could. Who needs a big wedding, right?

    Chapter 10

    After Amelia was married, she moved away with her new husband to start her own life and her own family. She was sorely missed by all, but life in the Palmer household went on. People got older, graduations happened, life happened.

    Adam was so excited about his fantastic girlfriend, Connie, and he wanted to tell his dad all about her.

    ZyhxN20.jpg

    Benson grew into a fine young man. After he graduated, he did just what he had been planning to do, and he ran away to get married.

    Chapter 11

    After Adam Palmer graduated, he decided on two things: He was going ask Connie to marry him and that he was going to stay put. He loved the house he grew up in, and let's face it, someone will have to take care of his parents.

    6k22vjh.jpg

    He wanted his marriage proposal to be romantic and special, so he decided to take Connie on a date to the place they first met: the pool. They had a great time and finally, he got up the nerve to ask her. It really was perfect.

    b9UHDqV.jpg

    Of course, she said yes. Adam was so excited he wanted to tell the entire world! When he started to tell people around town, though, they were a little bit hesitant. They would look at him, worried. As the wedding got closer, he started to hear the rumors. At first he didn't believe them, but the more he heard, the more upset he was getting. Adam learned that he was not her only man. Not for a long time.

    BmYZ1yQ.jpg
    pe41S11.jpg
    1nGU0rH.jpg

    Adam was so hurt and so embarrassed. He didn't say anything to her, because he didn't know how to. On their wedding day, though, he got up the nerve to say something, right before the ceremony began.

    pC15gCI.jpg
    DCeacU5.jpg

    They were both so hurt. She pleaded for him to forgive her and he reluctantly decided to just go on with the wedding and he would deal with things later. He spent too much money to have everything go to waste anyway.

    And, of course, for appearance sake, they had to look like the happy couple.

    Chapter 12

    Marriage life was dreadful for the newly weds. There was so much animosity between the two of them, that they often times exploded at each other. Connie swore that she had broken it off with the other guy, but it didn't help. Adam's jealously fueled his anger and it was simply unbearable for them both.

    VUXbI9t.jpg
    BXKEQ8n.jpg

    He made her sleep on the couch because he couldn't stand to be in the same bed as her.

    Guxowgw.jpg

    For a while, Adam wouldn't even come home after work. He would spend hours just reading and he would eat at restaurants. Basically he would only come home to sleep. Sometimes he would have his father come out so he could ask him for advice on what to do and just share his feelings.

    w62ijiH.jpg
    vLkcJ0f.jpg
    qRlrVEX.jpg

    Connie was so lonely without him.

    LqVuTvw.jpg

    The advice his father gave was hard for Adam to accept, at first. Zack told him that he needs to give her a chance, and instead of pushing his love away, to try and rekindle his feelings and look at Connie in a new light. Adam thought about what his father said. He did not feel like he could do it, but the next day, he was going to make an attempt.

    cPwqvg1.jpg

    When he walked in the house and saw her, he began to get heated. She was so beautiful though and he couldn't stand it when he realized he still did not want to lose her. At this point, he couldn't tell whether he loved her or hated her. All he did know was that he wanted her. This made making up after a fight easier.

    And along came Ben.

    Chapter 13

    After Ben was born, things in the house changed drastically. Minds, of course, were focused on the little one and spirits were higher. Everyone just fell head over heels for this kid.

    Luckily Zack and Blair were still around to help out when needed. Since Adam spent long hours at the hospital, and was always so exhausted, his parents being there was a relief.

    BZGOmbn.jpg

    It was also nice when Uncle Benson came by, too.

    When it came to Adam and Connie's relationship, things were still pretty on edge. They still fought when no one was around.

    D1iJ4DA.jpg

    And of course, every time they made up, something miraculous happened. This time, Riley and Reagan joined the family.

    Chapter 14

    Having three toddlers in the house made things more chaotic than ever before.

    5EqRe2x.jpg
    LUQbIWH.jpg
    2HVrbic.jpg

    When Ben got a little older, Connie discovered she was, yet again, pregnant. Things were so crazy in the house already, how would they be able to handle another baby?

    cOmMSAv.jpg

    Ben was a big help, though. He was getting very good at the guitar and would entertain the girls. Reagan absolutely loved to dance to the music.

    NyXosM0.jpg
    3vL8xA6.jpg

    When Blair died, and eventually Zack, Adam was devastated from losing his parents. It was a sad time, but he knew he had to keep it strong for his growing family.

    sLRYdQ1.jpg

    He knew that things would be close to impossible now for Connie to do this on her own while he was working. Without the help of his parents, he felt it was time that he focused on what mattered the most to him: his family. He was missing out on way too much. Adam decided to give up on his dream of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a surgeon. He quit his job all together.

    wdzRZN2.jpg

    He just felt it in his heart that it was the right decision. So did Ben because now he would have a worthy chess opponent.

    GhXtU7b.jpg

    And chess was a lot more fun than doing homework.

    Chapter 15

    Time passed and Connie gave birth.

    h5E6koA.jpg

    To twins. Meet Trevor and Emily.

    r8Avos3.jpg

    All worry about being able to handle another baby was now doubled. The household was hectic around the clock and Connie and Adam tried to be as attentive as they could be to each and every one of their children. All of their focus and attention were on them, and not each other.

    nFJHPVl.jpg
    eUVtqKP.jpg
    a7q94Yb.jpg
    qV9UuOx.jpg

    To Adam, it was better that way. The less they spoke, the easier it was for him and the smoother their relationship was. The distance was a good thing and at night, when things were settled in the house, they were still able to sneak in a little fun once in a while. One of those times resulted in a pregnancy. They did not know how to take it but they both decided that after this baby, it was going to be enough. They were going to cut and tie off anything they had to to get it to stop. Their family was big enough.

    Chapter 16

    Reagan and Riley were finally old enough to go to school and needed a lot less looking after. Ben was happier now that he got to do his dreaded homework with someone other than his mom.

    9UjmJq5.jpg

    Adam, trying to be a good father, tried his hand at playing catch again to see if maybe he had gotten better since he was a kid. To his surprise, he was actually pretty good!

    4Raa6Qc.jpg
    E3mHjNM.jpg

    The girls were so excited to get bunk beds and Reagan loved that she got to have the top bunk. Riley as too afraid of heights so she didn't even fight for it.

    cjj62iW.jpg
    55fnXKc.jpg

    Come to think of it, Riley was afraid of just about everything,

    trgmst8.jpg

    But every time Uncle Benson came over and played his video games, Riley enthusiastically wanted to join in.

    Reagan and Riley loved growing up at the same time. They truly loved each other's company.
