Welcome back to another chapter of The Kennedy Legacy. It's been nice having quarantine time to play so I can post chapters in the frequency that I'm used to posting them instead of the slow pace that I had been doing previously. My current goal is to finish the legacy before June 27th so that I can at least say I completed it within 2 years, lol. Part of me feels like using her wand and magic to stir the pot with her big spoon is counter productive, it takes practice and it doesn't always work well. Wouldn't it be better to just use her hands on the giant spoon?
Also, I later decided to move the mop (left) and the broom on the far right into the family laundry room as a decoration there and just put the cool looking ones here. Harper finally wins the duels she needs for the current milestone of her aspiration.
She completed her milestone just in time for her adult birthday.
She's still stunning and adds art lover to her list of traits.
Harper then meets Brennen Parrish through a club and gives him one of the romance potions she's learned to craft which puts him in a flirty mood.
So much so they share their first woohoo and THEN their first kiss. Seems a bit out of order if you ask me, but hey she did just age up maybe her hormones are out of whack?
She then asks Brennen to move in with her, I move quickly because I don't like risking MCCC marrying them off to a townie.
On the dock near their house, Harper proposes to Brennen.
They then elope immediately, and I actually get a good shot of the confetti. You can also see the roof of their house by Brennen's head.
I actually left him in pretty much all the default stuff he came with. He was a #legacylove that I downloaded from the gallery. I don't remember who created him, but I can try to see if I can find out for you guys. He adds 3 more unique traits to the family, which is good because I wasn't paying attention to that early in the legacy and so I may not get all 10 of my romance points. Harper has discovered that she is pregnant with generation eight! Of course, she doesn't look thrilled.
Seriously, she has a bad case of RBF. This was right after she told him, he didn't really react to the news but then started doing this, so I'm pretending it's a happy dance.
They've had their photograph taken and hung up on the walls in the family's photography studio.
Harper has been studying different spells and such, and she even has a familiar, I figured her Halloween costume should be a witch so I had to pick that.
I also believe I took this picture to commemorate the fact that she has completed her Spellcraft & Sorcery aspiration. I gave her Potion Purveyor next. Darth Vader, aka Nate, was getting up there in age and I wanted him to be around a little bit longer so I went ahead and let him have his one youth potion, which isn't something I utilize frequently.
So, when she kept failing duels, Harper received "Curse of the Awkward Hug." Basically, she goes around hugging people awkwardly, for no reason, and the interaction cannot be cancelled. Well, when she learned the spell "Decursify" I tried to use it on her and it backfired and gave her "Curse of Uncleansable Stench" which means she constantly has low hygiene and is smelly and in addition to that she leaves stinky sweat pools laying around the house. She literally shakes, like a dog, and it falls off. It's really gross.
No time to dwell on how gross it is though, because the first baby of generation eight is about to be born!
It's a boy! After rolling 70 times, meet baby boy Dillon Kennedy!
It's time for Nadine to grow into an elder, my how time flies during a quarantine.
I have to say, I think Nadine is my favorite elder sim ever. Her and Nate both make stunning elders and I love them. That same night is actually Dillon's birthday too because he had been born right before midnight.
Dillon aged into these freckles, which I didn't think sims could do, so I kept them. He also rolled the fussy trait.
Since Dillon was obviously not a girl, Harper soon finds out she's pregnant again. After all, we don't know how many tries it will take to get a girl.
No happy dance this time, but I wonder if it's multiples because of how big her belly is.
Nate has reached the top of the Law career in the Private Attorney branch.
Please excuse any of the little club icons, they don't turn off with headlineeffects and I have them in clubs for the skills boost. Later that evening, Nate is abducted for the 6th time in his entire life, which honestly is a lot. To be fair, he is addicted to the "search for truth" option on the telescope.
So, in order to get one of the points under food, one sim must max all of the cooking related skills. I could have worked on baking in the kitchen, but I had never tried to the cupcake maker so I literally built it it's own little room in the basement and I have to say, I actually really like it. You can make some pretty cool desserts with it.
Brennen has been getting along pretty well with the family ghosts and likes to play ping-pong with Allan (generation 4 spouse.)
Here, Nadine has completed the Leader of the Pack aspiration. I gave her renaissance sim next in hopes that her high school career and her eSports career from college would count toward her progress. Harper has completed her Potion Purveyor aspiration. Up next I gave her Super Parent. I'm trying to focus on the aspirations that I haven't completed yet in the legacy so I can try to get all my points. I don't know why I wasn't doing this to begin with, but I'm running out of time so I need to get to it.
Nadine was able to get credit for those two careers and has completed the renaissance sim aspiration. I gave her Friend of the Animal next in hopes that she will be able to complete it since that's one that hasn't been completed yet.
In order to work on her aspiration, Nadine needs a pet. So, meet Dixie.
But before we can see a lot about Dixie, it's time for Harper to give birth.
It's a girl! 12 rolls the name Jayla for her!
Also, please take a close look at Dillon's face. I'm honestly kind of afraid to leave Jayla unattended. Dillon does NOT look pleased about the new addition. However, he has a happy moodlet and is actually happy about having a new sibling. It's all very weird. Back to cute kittens, look at Dixie, I love her!
I do have default eyes installed for my pets. You can find them on my WCIF page. Ahhhh! Look how cute this is, I don't even care that she's not using the pet bed!
Nate has now been abducted seven times.
It's time for Jayla to become a toddler and oh my gosh she has red hair! I am beyond excited, I just hope she's our heiress so we can have an heiress without black hair. I kept the dress she was in and she also got freckles from her dad. I'm also excited because she got the best toddler trait in the game.
Nate has completed his fabulously wealthy aspiration. All those hours in the telescope provided a lot of space prints that he was able to sell. He only has ~4 days left of his life though so likely won't be able to complete it. but his next aspiration is Nerd Brain. I just kinda gave him a throw away one since he is so close to death.
Dixie has grown into a very cute cat, I love her big ears.
Nadine has befriended the cutest dog, and she gave her hugs and I love her. If we have room once Harper has the last baby, I plan to have her adopt this cutie.
It's time for Dillon to become a child - thank goodness too, even though it's not as bad as in a 100 baby challenge, I do get tired of having multiple toddlers in the house sometimes.
Dillon is very handsome, I'm excited to see how he grows up though because a lot of children look the same.
Brennen and Harper have become helicopter parents and won't leave Harper alone while she's skilling. Which, is extra annoying because she's independent so she gains faster without help. Where were you when Dillon needed help guys?
I know you can't see him, but Nate is dying right here on the ground in front of Harper. I swear he's there. He was just in the process of going to work and so he was half phased out.
See look, here's his urn.
Harper receives a promotion to the branching part of the Tech Guru career and she goes down the Start-Up Entrepreneur path.
She's also pregnant now for the final time. I had waited until Nate died just in case she wanted to give me twins.
Brennen does not seem happy about the new pregnancy. I guess he was hoping all the kids would be out of diapers now, but with a new little one (or little ones) on the way I guess that won't be happening.
Since her skills are maxed, Jayla has free reign to do whatever. Right now it's dancing to the radio with her brother.
Later on that week it's playing with her Dad.
I do have to say though, this interaction actually makes more sense for spellcaster kids. I think it should have been exclusive to them because I can just picture him wondering where she went and oh she just teleported behind him using her magic. Dillon has completed his Artistic Prodigy aspiration, I gave him Whiz Kid next.
The family watched the ball drop on New Years Eve, and Brennen even gave his wife a New Years kiss, which I thought was sweet.
Nadine was there too, being the cutest sim ever.
The next evening it's time for Jayla to grow up.
She let some of her hair down but still kept the braided look. She wants to be a Whiz Kid and her first trait is Child of the Ocean. I had been hoping one of my mermaids would've gotten this trait, but oh well. Lol. And finally the time comes for Harper to give birth for the last time.
It's twin girls!
On the left, after a roll of 85, we have Selina! On the right, after a roll of 13, we have Evangeline! That means it's time to roll for heiress. Harper: Congratulations sweetie, you're the randomly chosen heir to take over this family's legacy. Everyone is going to be so excited because you have red hair! Jayla: Um..okay...thanks..can I go back to playing please? Well, I may be a little bit happier about Jayla being heiress than she is, but that's okay! We finally are breaking our black hair streak! 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 |
