Another chapter, and in this one generation nine is going to be born! That's really exciting, that means that I likely only have a couple more chapters left for this legacy! I'm excited to be this close to the finish line, but also sad. It's always bittersweet when finishing a legacy. I'm thinking that like I did with the Hayden's where I used the tenth generation for something that I will do the same with whoever our last baby of this generation is, however, I'm not sure what. I'm thinking a small challenge of some kind. Possibly even a wonder child challenge again. So, I had plans to potentially marry Jayla to an alien sim. However, the aliens up here were all Kennedy descendants. I'm thinking this is probably why my sims haven't been getting pregnant when they've been abducted. I decided to delete all my NPCs so that new ones would generate, but it took too long for new aliens to spawn (because then I started only seeing ghosts in Sixam) so I eventually just gave up on the alien idea.
I sent Jayla to Glimmerbrook to work on her current aspiration (Friend of the World) and she met Hamza Ichmawin there. They ended up going on a date to a diner and sharing their first kiss together. I knew with him having red hair, all the kids would so I'd be sure to not have any with black hair, lol. Plus with his dark skin I'm bound to have a good variety of gorgeous children.
He moved in shortly after and while he's definitely a good looking sim his traits leave much to be desired. Luckily, all three were unique and got us a point in that category.
Hamza, which I found out later means strength, proposed to Jayla by the Sulani waterfall. However, she rejected him. I got a pop up of her saying "we just met, let's not rush this" or something to that effect, which is weird because I've never gotten one of those before.
So he apologized to her with woohoo in the waterfall.
And then proposed to her again, this time at an angle where I could get a better shot.
She did accept and they immediately eloped by the waterfall.
Guys, I'm not so sure the confetti is good for the environment...
They decided to look at the volcano while they were there.
It's pretty boring though since you can't interact with it. I wish there was a "view" option and even the risk of it erupting while you're there and killing your sim. Back at home and Goliath is looking like Rudolph. A quick wellness treat fixes him right up though. Later on we see Roxanne/Taube's little sister taking Pooka for a walk near the family home.
I ended up being able to finish Nadine's aspiration after all, but it was very difficult. And it's definitely not one I plan to try again. I went to give her Fabulously Wealthy as just a throw away aspiration but because she's made so much money from her Celebrity Chef career through promotions and raises it was immediately completed. So I gave her painter extraordinaire next.
While at the dog park working on her aspiration, Jayla runs into sim Roxanne and sim J (as well as their dog Whidbey.) Roxanne has taken over the leadership of the cosplay club. It seems like sim J is trying to ignore her sisters interesting life choices. But, I can't say much, I dressed as Leia during a crazy hair day at school recently.
Unfortunately, the time has come for Nadine to die. I was really sad about it because since I've been playing through this so quickly I feel like she was just born not too long ago.
She was one of my most successful sims as far as careers go because she got THIRTEEN raises. I'm assuming that's related to her responsible trait as well as her having a degree. However, with her passing that opens up a slot in the house and so Jayla is finally able to get pregnant with generation nine.
Jayla: I'm pregnant!
Hamza: But your grandma just died, are you sure this is a good time to be having a baby. Jayla: It's the perfect time, and it's what Grandma would've wanted. Brennen was getting pretty close to passing as well, and his aspiration was really close to finishing. MCCC had given Dillon 3 kids already so Jayla's baby would complete Brennen's aspiration, which is one I need for my points. So, I had him utilize his one allotted potion of youth.
So, when I got the notification that Jayla had completed her Friend of the World aspiration, I paused the game to go check on her. (She had been working on Charisma because that's all she had left) and this is what she looked like. I couldn't resist taking a picture and using that to note that she completed her aspiration.
I decided to go crazy and give her Party Animal as her next aspiration. I need it for the aspiration points, but I also need to throw more parties anyway because of the popularity points. Side note: they've fixed it to where you get credit for "silver" if you have a gold party. However, some of the newer parties do not count toward progress. The first party the family had was a keg party, Harper decided to help her son do a kegstand while her teenage daughter watched. Great parenting.
It's time for Selina and Evangeline to become adults, which also means there is about to me more space freed up in the house. Selina adds clumsy to her list of traits. She's really pretty too. I really was pleased with this generation.
Evangeline adds music lover to her list of traits. I really think she's stunning.
Selina says bye to her sister and her future niece or nephew while Evangeline is off saying goodbye to Harper. Then they moved out.
During a black and white party, Jayla pees herself in the kitchen.
After a quick shower, Jayla is going into labor.
It's a girl! A 100 rolls the name Alexus! I hope she keeps her dark skin when she grows up.
Her birth finishes Brennen's aspiration. I gave him Nerd Brain next. So, because he was originally a spellcaster NPC, Hamza has a broom that he flies around on. However, he doesn't have a broom in his inventory. It's pretty funny because he's not very good and often falls flat on his face.
Time flies and soon little Alexus is becoming a toddler.
AND SHE KEPT THE DARK SKIN, THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
After a make-over Alexus looks super adorable. She got the freckles, which I'm calling spellcaster freckles since it seems like only the spellcasters are getting them. I probably should've waited a few days to avoid multiple toddlers, but oh well. Jayla is pregnant again!
Hamza seems fairly indifferent about his wife's pregnancy.
I needed a couple points related to businesses, so I had Jayla purchase a vet clinic. This will help her work on her veterinary skill as well as getting business perks.
One annoying thing I found was that the guests don't think the atmosphere is that great, in the exam rooms. A lot of people like the main lobby though. It's weird.
Brennen has been abducted by aliens again. He didn't come home pregnant though.
It's time for Harper to become an elder. Time really flies when you're simming constantly during a pandemic.
She still looks great as an elder sim though.
Back at the vet clinic we see sim J and Pooka again. Pooka was diagnosed with Derpy Doggy Syndrome.
After a few hours, I sent Jayla back home where she went into labor.
It's twin girls! First born is named Alena after a roll of 75. Second we have Chasity who is named that after rolling 40 times. I'll announce our heiress shortly. Our washer and dryer had bugged so I replaced them, but they're not fully upgraded anymore so when the maid was using them he caught on fire.
Harper has reached the top of the business career, as an Angel Investor. I didn't have her change jobs this time. But hey, she's topped two careers!
It's time for the twins to become toddlers! That's Chasity being held by Jayla and Harper is holding Alena.
I'm concerned about spellcaster genetics because if you look here, Alena has the alien ears which is weird. However, they disappear when she goes into CAS. But oddly, she does have the alien diaper as sleepwear and as a child she gets the alien outfit for winter wear. I really hope spellcasters aren't a repeat of mermaids. Anyway, here's Alena after her makeover. She's very cute.
And here we have Chasity. I think she's going to grow into her looks, she just has a more straight looking nose than her sisters.
Goliath has also grown up and is now an elder dog.
Hamza has chosen a favorite daughter, and it just so happens that Chasity is our heiress! I was sad that it wasn't Alexus, but I'm glad it was Chasity over Alena since Alena seems to be slightly bugged with the alien stuff.
Speaking of bugs, Nate here seems to have mastered the power of levitation.
At the vet clinic, Jayla completes her first surgery on a pet while Gideon cleans up pet vomit. Also, vet clincis are a last-tier Party Animal dream. Every single pet that she examines counts as a social event that she's hosting. SCORE. Time flies and now it's time for Alexus to become a child!
Also, Jayla has completed her Party Animal aspiration. I gave her Master Actor next, but I'm waiting to work on it until she reaches the top of the comedy career. Alexus is still super cute, but likely won't be completing this aspiration. But, we'll see. I'll try my best.
Unfortunately Brennen's time has come. I forgot that I never really changed his outfits so it's pretty funny to see him doing this with sunglasses.
Poor sweet Alexus literally had just gotten out of the mirror doing her make-over and the first thing she witnesses as a child is her grandfather dying. That makes me really sad.
On a happier note, sim J has come to the vet clinic again. This time she is heavily pregnant and her last name is Corona now. She must have left the dogs with my simself, since I had moved sim J, Roxanne, and my simself in together, because she brought in some other dog to the vet.
Back at home again and unfortunately Goliath is passing away. I feel bad because he didn't get a lot of attention once Nadine died.
It's time for the twins to become children!
Alena is extremely adorable!
Chasity's nose looks a lot better on her now as a child. She's super adorable also. This is a good looking generation.
The twins really love each other, which I think is sweet. That's where we'll leave this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope to have another chapter out very soon! In the meantime, check in with me over at BoolProp or on my Twitch Stream! Score |
