Welcome back to another chapter of The Kennedy Legacy! We're making great progress! Who knows, maybe this legacy will be finished in the next month or two with how quickly I've been cranking these chapters out.
Ximena completed her Whiz Kid aspiration. I gave her Artistic Prodigy next.
Joel was cooking something and set the kitchen on fire.
Nathan: I can't believe your mother chose to have a child with him after I died. Nadine: You realize that's my Dad right? I wouldn't be here if she hadn't, and neither would your two "granddaughters" there.
Joel hangs around a lot lately, and spends some time with Dayna eating dinner on the edge of the pull.
Most of the family decides to join them, but then they Joel and Dayna leave. It's cold out, which you can tell if you look at Nadine's breath.
I think it's really cute you can take the ghost dogs for a walk. But it's also annoying because when Briant's ghost is out, he always whines at the front door until someone takes him for a walk.
Nadine is heading off to her last college class. I have to say, there hasn't been a lot to document with this, because it's been a lot of term papers, projects, homework, and class.
Just in time for her birthday, Ximena finishes the artistic prodigy aspiration.
And then off to her birthday cake she goes!
She aged very nicely, though she definitely has a case of RBF (resting bitch face.)
So, I found this outfit when I was looking for clothes to put her in, and I couldn't resist putting her in it because it kind of matched the one she had as a toddler and a child.
Soon, it's time for Nadine's graduation ceremony. I'll admit that I was sad we didn't get to go inside and see the ceremony and that she wasn't able to invite family to attend the ceremony. But, at least we could hear it.
The hat toss was a cool effect, but I wish they got to keep it as like a decorative item or something.
After arriving home from her graduation, Nadine gets a job in the culinary field as a chef, which completes her aspiration. I gave her the Master Chef aspiration next.
Okay, I'm not as sad at not keeping the grad cap now that I saw she gets a graduation photo and the diploma that she can hang up.
So, apparently now that the cats are all dead, the sims in my family are going to keep getting sick. Gideon got sick twice and Dayna got sick three times. Oddly, Dayna's hair turned black instead of staying gray when she was sick.
It's Nadine's adult birthday!
She put on some extra weight, but I still think she's really pretty.
Since there are several days before anyone ages up and before Dayna dies (you can check with MCCC) I decided to work on Gideon's aspiration. So prepare to see a lot of pictures of that.
These three pictures are for him completing the first part of his aspiration. He took Ximena with him everywhere just in case he died like my sim from the Hayden legacy.
On his very first attempt clearing something, he got poisoned. Hopefully he recovers safely.
He found a dirt pile and began excavating for artifacts.
The family found the Royal Baths and went for a swim. As you can see, Nate and Harper are further away since they don't have the mermaid tails.
After getting to the temple he full explored it and found all of the treasure. Guess he'll have to come back a few more times to complete his aspiration.
Back at home he began working on his archaeology skill and looking through the artifacts that he and Ximena brought home.
Nate has finally reached the split in his career. He decided to go the path of lawyer instead of judge.
Dayna's long life is finally coming to an end. According to MCCC her bodybuilder aspiration granted her 52.5 extra days of life.
Nadine is very astonished by whatever she sees on the grim reaper's tablet.
Okay, so I'm extremely irritated. Spellcasters get a really cool urn (see Nathan's) and we've seen the alien ones and vampire ones in previous chapters. So, I was really excited to see what the mermaid urn looked like. It looks exactly the same as the regular urns. Like, are you kidding me? Between the buggy genetics early on and this, I really feel gypped by how they created mermaids.
Part of Gideon's aspiration was to use one of the relics 5 times, so he used one on himself first. i figured, he's a spare so whatever.
He got curse of food mirage. So, he'll randomly see images of pancakes AND Bob Pancakes around his head. It's honestly pretty funny.
It's also his birthday. You can see the remnants of a mirage near him right now.
Gideon is very handsome, and I think he looks a lot like both of his parents. I do wish some of his sisters had shared in his blonde hair luck.
Nadine has reached the top of the culinary career as a celebrity chef.
So, I forgot that if you bought rare seeds you could get these out of it, and so we finally have one of the special trees that gives you the fruit to turn you into a plant sim.
Which, I also wish they did plant sims differently.
It's time for our heiress to become a teenager!
Wow, she's gorgeous! And it looks like we are going to be having another spellcaster in the house since her aspiration is Spellcraft & Sorcery.
Here we have a side-by-side comparison of all the kids. I think they all look very different, but they're all good looking sims. Even if Ximena does have RBF.
Since Harper has to become a spellcaster for her aspiration, she heads off to the grotto to look for some mermadic kelp.
After several sim hours she finally finds some and is no longer a mermaid.
She then heads off to become a spellcaster.
Her first task to become a spellcaster is to find seven motes, which she did much faster than Nathan. Even the spellcaster training her seems surprised at how quickly she came back with them.
And then she turns her into a spellcaster!
So, it's time for Gideon to make another trip to the jungle. He gets cursed into being a skeleton, which apparently is a good thing actually because it means that he is immune to some of the annoyances.
He finds more rare treasure while he is there after searching everything.
Then, we head back home and it's Ximena's adult birthday!
I think she grew out of her RBF a little bit, but it is still there.
Nate has been abducted a fifth time, and once again he comes home and he's not pregnant. It's only a 30% chance for pregnancy during an abduction. But, my friend Roxanne apparently has the best (or worst) luck and had one of her sims get abducted twice and became pregnant both times. Odd how that works out.
Speaking of, you should go check that legacy out here: The Gregory Legacy by Taube
Working towards earning more points, Nadine creates a max quality Baked Alaska.
On his next trip to the jungle, Gideon sees a crocodile swimming around in the water.
So, I missed the other picture which is annoying, but Gideon did finish his jungle explorer aspiration while on this trip. Up next I gave him archaeology scholar since he already met a lot of the requirements.
After giving an archaeology lecture to his whole family, Gideon has finished his aspiration. Next I gave him renaissance sim.
However, that doesn't matter because Gideon and Ximena are both moving out now.
Harper has been spending her days experimenting with the cauldron.
It's Nate's birthday!
He aged into a very handsome elder.
Nadine has completed the master chef aspiration. I had wanted to give her the mixology one next, but that one requires her to move to the mixology career branch and because of her degree, she can't start that low in the culinary career.
So instead I gave her Leader of the Pack since that was one of the aspirations left that I need to complete to get all my aspiration points for the legacy challenge.
I've been trying to work on Harper's aspiration but she keeps losing all of her magical duels. So it's been very difficult.
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!
