    Newby Speedy Legacy Generation 1 wrap-up!

    I spent the day with the twins at the park before Michael moved out for good.

    screenshot1355.jpg

    While we were at the park, Wyatt had a birthday! Oops! I’ll have to make it up to him.

    screenshot1357.jpg

    I finished out the evening with a ghost story.

    screenshot1359.jpg

    We returned home to a broken dishwasher, and decided to call for repairs instead of trying to handle it ourselves. As luck would have it (or not), the repairperson was a knock out and she and Ryan took to each other immediately. Almost too immediate!

    screenshot1362k.jpg

    They ran off to the pool shower and, well, you know, Ryan’s going to be a father - again. I wonder if he’s moving too fast!

    screenshot1363.jpg

    Only just the day before, he was spied in the hottub with a voluptuous redhead…

    screenshot1316i.jpg

    screenshot1314.jpg

    Seth, now a teen, needed a lecture in fashion! Hot pink? Really?

    screenshot1366.jpg

    Ryan would take off at times without any word on where he was headed. We would just watch him ride off down the road.

    screenshot1371p.jpg

    I eventually found out he would spend time in town, taking with the elderly, listening to their stories. What a great kid! Most of these people had no family; no one else who cared. Several of these elderly people left Ryan a little something (well a lot of something) in their wills.

    screenshot1386j.jpg

    Ryan would spend time with Michael, helping him get settled in his new house. They were very close and enjoyed spending time together.

    screenshot1374.jpg

    Seth and Lucy aged up and moved out, leaving the house rather quiet and barren.

    screenshot1383.jpg

    In the mean time, the cute little handywoman, ***** Russo, moved in with us at Ryan’s request. Ryan began having second thoughts about that arrangement right away.

    Question: does anybody doing a speed legacy right now not use cc? I think it would be fun to download other people's speed legacy simmies and put them in my save. But I don't use cc.

    Basically, if you have a cc free speed legacy simmie that you want me to put in my game let me know. I would credit them if they show up in any updates :)

    I don't use 3rd party CC, only stuff from the store. I *think* my simself is dressed in mostly Generations stuff, I'm pretty sure..anyways, if anything she might have store items, that's it. Plus there are some of my Organic Berry Sims in my studio too, they have no CC, Store, or EP items, all Base game stuff.

    If you're interested. :)

    @Proverb: Love the update, Ryan's definitely a player!

    @Vex: I don't consider store stuff as cc, and I actually have a decent bit of it. I mean non-EA stuff. I have the custard tool so before I download any simmies I'll make sure to use it on them just to be careful. I'll be going on a downloading spree tomorrow :)

    You should be able to download and use most of my sims, then.

    My simself's here. If the Evil trait isn't your cup of tea, I routinely switch it out for Perfectionist (did so for this Legacy, even):

    http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=3767659

    And while the subject's in the air, I decided to bundle up Antoine and upload him:

    http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4290403

    The "Unknown" listed trait is the French Culture hidden trait. He greets others with a kiss on the cheek, and sings (In French!) while he cooks. It's cute.

    And I don't think I ever took/posted a shot of him just standing around looking pretty as a Young Adult, so here's one:

    Gah! This one baby at a time is maddening!

    Seems like all I do is get my Sims into bed. :P

    On that note.... meet Jack..the first of hopefully a few more spawnlings.

    More Gen. 2 Pics

    Gosh, this challenge really does go fast. :shock:

    TwinsKaterinaandArabella.jpg
    ChildTwinsArabellaandKaterina.jpg
    Sim-Me gave birth to twin girls. Katerina (in the brown dress) and Arabella (in the blue top).

    2ndpregnancy.jpg
    Whilst the twins were growing up my simself was pregnant again.

    ToddlerSpiridon.jpg
    This time she gave birth to a little boy. For some strange reason he was born with green eyes even though his mom's got brown and his dad's got blue :roll:

    TeenTwinsArabellaandKaterinawithToddlerSpiridon.jpg
    Finally we have a shot of Arabella and Katerina as teenagers with Spiridon as a toddler. Arabella will be taking over for gen 2 simply because she was the only one that got her dad's blue eyes.

    Well, finally got to play some last night, man this is trippy!!!! My oldest was aaging to teen by the time her little brother was born! Haha. Anyways.... let the pic spam begin!

    So, we got the marriage part out of the way...
    Screenshot-307.jpg
    Screenshot-309.jpg

    And my simself has her birthday at the wedding!
    Screenshot-320.jpg

    And also goes into "mid-life Crisis" mode. She doesn't want anything too crazy. She wishes for a new outfit, a new house, and to work out. No problem.... moved them into a cute little house but leaves them pretty much broke.

    Little Marissa has her birthday the same night... she's pretty cute!
    Screenshot-319.jpg

    And finally the next morning she's pregnant again! woo!
    Screenshot-332.jpg

    Paul's a good daddy!
    Screenshot-335.jpg

    But then, Paul has his birthday to adult, and he also goes through a "mid-life Crisis". What does he wish for? To get a makeover:
    Screenshot-339.jpg
    And then to DIVORCE Honeybee!!!! JERK!
    Screenshot-343.jpg
    She's not very happy. She hadn't even told him she was pregnant with baby #2!
    Screenshot-345.jpg

    At first they want to be friends again, but that apparently isn't going to happen easily.
    Screenshot-349.jpg

    So, eventually they both wish to meet someone new, and to get married (non-specific). So, I decide to REALLY challenge myself, and get them both remarried to someone else!
    In the meantime, Marissa becomes a child. She's cute!
    Screenshot-356.jpg
    And, Honeybee has a boy! Meet Charlie Zanders!
    Screenshot-367.jpg

    I've got to get the other pics uploaded and whatnot, and I'll be back with another update. I find it hilarious that there can be this much drama in such a short time! :) HAHA

    Proverb- do the elderly that die really leave something behind if you befriend them? Is this a new Generations thing, or a mod thing? That's cool!

    Goodness, midlife crisis wish to divorce your spouse? :shock: What drama! :mrgreen:

    SimVex only wished to flirt with someone else! ... I cancelled that one, she had 2 kids and 2 more on the way, there was simply no time!
    Proverb- do the elderly that die really leave something behind if you befriend them? Is this a new Generations thing, or a mod thing? That's cool!

    It's a mod thing.

    Twallan's (NRaas Industries) Story Progression mod has an inheritance feature. Townie sims who die will distribute money and items from their inventory to their friends and family. Also children - if a townie's death leaves behind a child younger than a Teen (who can live alone if they need to), the child will be placed with a relative, rather than whisked away by a social worker never to be seen again.

    Divorce?! Oh my! Riley only wished for a new house - which I was happy to oblige cause I like moving every couple generations just for a change of scenery lol. And it usually leaves them broke so new challenge lol

    Now my update :)

    The Archer household- where the poor sims are forced to neglect their own needs to care for hordes of younger siblings!

    Screenshot-145.jpg

    Maybe Forrest is cuter than I gave him credit for...

    Screenshot-2-28.jpg

    I'm pretty sure Forrest got his dad's hair, not my simself's. There's a tiny difference in the highlights.

    Screenshot-3-31.jpg

    Forrest as a child... that hair needs to change ASAP!

    Screenshot-4-28.jpg

    And Finn ages absolutely adorably, of course.

    Screenshot-5-30.jpg

    Okay, that's better. But still...

    Screenshot-6-28.jpg

    And Jacob's birthday! Looking slightly scary too.

    Screenshot-7-23.jpg

    Okay, I take that back. You haven't seen scary until you've seen this!

    Screenshot-8-25.jpg

    Or this!

    Screenshot-9-23.jpg

    Graduation time. Yes, Jacob looks smug that he can graduate despite two total days of school.

    Screenshot-12-18.jpg

    My heavily preggo sim ventures down to city hall to support him.

    Screenshot-13-17.jpg

    Who knew graduation was such a good time to scope out the females in town of a roughly similar age to you? Here's Yadira Tempest, who has some pretty eyes.

    Screenshot-14-17.jpg

    And Chrissy Waverly, another option.

    Screenshot-15-17.jpg

    Uh oh...

    Screenshot-16-14.jpg

    Yup, this would happen to one of my simself's kids.

    Screenshot-17-15.jpg

    Yay, the graduate.

    Screenshot-18-14.jpg

    Screenshot-19-13.jpg

    Aww, he wishes his father could be there...

    Screenshot-20-13.jpg

    It seems like someone gave birth at the graduation. Sadly, that reminds me of my old high school more than anything else.

    Screenshot-21-13.jpg

    At last, the simself shows emotion.

    Screenshot-22-10.jpg

    And Jacob makes his move at the graduation. He didn't receive the flirty trait for nothing, after all. Notice the baby in the background. I swear, it turned up in every picture.

    Screenshot-23-12.jpg

    He moved in for the kiss too quick.

    Screenshot-24-14.jpg

    But got it later that night. Woo!

    Screenshot-25-11.jpg

    Screenshot-26-12.jpg

    Forrest ages awkwardly yet again.

    Screenshot-27-10.jpg

    While Finn manages to constantly be adorable.

    Screenshot-28-10.jpg

    And goes to argue with Jacob's new girlfriend, haha!

    Screenshot-29-7.jpg

    Then he has the nerve to mooch a large amount of money from her. But seriously, how can you say no to that face?

    Screenshot-30-9.jpg

    Finally giving birth. That pregnancy felt like it lasted forever.

    Screenshot-31-8.jpg

    Introducing the second pair of twin boys, Roman and Reese! That's right, five boys in the house!

    Screenshot-32-6.jpg

    Reese:

    Screenshot-33-7.jpg

    Roman:

    Screenshot-34-8.jpg

    Aww, Jacob's thinking about Yadira while he sleeps :D

    Screenshot-35-7.jpg

    And now, the heir vote! Please check it out and cast a vote: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/402728.page
