“Oh crap, does this mean what I think it means??”
Yes! After generations of trying to get multiple male Sims abducted, it finally happened! I actually got Robi abducted back in 4th gen, but he was 4 days away from elder, so he didn’t get pregnant. But poor Gary did get pregnant, as I could tell from the lullaby sound when the aliens dropped him off outside. Within a day he was sporting a nice round belly. Heehee.
“Hey, this isn’t so bad…”
While Gary was enjoying his maternity leave, his twins grew into toddlers. Lennan is on the left and Scottie is on the right. They look a little like aliens themselves with that smart milk aura!
“Play it, sis!”
Eventually Gary gave birth to his little alien girl, whom I named Cleo (courtesy of Eva). I have a feeling she’s going to be hideous as a toddler (both of her fathers have extreme features), but she’s pretty cute as a baby.
“At least you have my hair color, if nothing else.”
A day or so later, the twins became children. They grew up without ceremony in the toddler suite. Scottie went first, and her uncle Cort felt compelled to start giving her advice right away…
“And you see these eggs in the pan? That is your brain on drugs. Remember that!”
And I didn’t get a good pic of Lennan growing up, so here he is after I changed his PJs and hair.
“My half-sister is an alien! Cool, huh?”
Lennan and Scottie are also a little lacking in the personality department — Lennan has scores of 7-9-5-2-3 (26 total) and Scottie has 7-3-5-6-3 (24 total). I’ll probably have Lennan be the heir, unless he turns out to be a Romance Sim or something. I’m bummed that Tebbany’s Niceness wasn’t passed down, but oh well. Kiara back in 2nd gen had a Niceness of 3, and she was a good Sim, so I guess it’s not all bad. I’ll just have to keep an eye on them.
So even though I was kinda disappointed in Gary at first, I LOVE him now because he gave me twins AND an alien baby! Gary rules! And 8th gen is here! These kids will still be alive when I’m done with the challenge, which with any luck will be a week from now. I hope I can finish.
Thanks for reading this looong update! I’m off to shovel the driveway (grumble grumble)…
That was a great update Jen! I am currently on 6th generation and I have yet to have twins. I want them terribly since I haven’t had them in a while. Thats so funny, since yesterday my 6th generation heirs husband got abducted; my first also. He had a little girl with black hair, has practically no nose, but has the dads brown eyes instead of the black alien eyes. I hope to make it to 10th generation too before the expansion pack comes out. Good luck! :)
Hi Jen. That’s great about the alien baby. :)I was really rooting for you to get your alien baby. Hey I wish I could help you shovel but i’m in a no snow part of the US. Your pic of your home front and back your was cool. I love to see snow.. in pics I mean. You are almost done with your challenge.. great job. Can’t wait for you next up date. Cleo is so cute! :)
Hey Jen! Great post, twins AND alien baby, am sehr jealous! (i dunno if sehr actually means very, but it sounded good in my head) The twins are adorable! And Cleo is cute too! Your garden looked beautiful by the way, we never get snow like that in England, stupid weather. That beach was really nice too, looked like the Bahamas or something! Oh, before I head off to do something pointless I’ve thought of another girls name you might like (i know, so many names, but better too many than too little), Mia. I love the name Mia, it’s pretty :D
Bye! xxx
Hehehe…hurray on the alien baby. I can’t wait to see some more pics of Cleo. That is too funny. I have never had an alien abduction in my sims. Not from my lack of trying either. LOL!
First of all, your house looks beautiful! (The REAL house) You’re lucky to have snow. (Hello, SNOW DAY!) Living in Texas sucks sometimes.
This was an AWESOME update. Congrats on the twins and the alien baby! Lennon and Scottie are beautiful. Cleo doesn’t look that bad compared to many aliens I’e seen. She looks cute so far… (I love the expression on Gary’s face when he got abducted)Congrats also on the 8th generation! You might be able to finish this before the University comes out. Go Jen!
Loved your update, can’t wait for the next.
Hey, I love the pictures!! Do you think you could (in next update) show us a profile picture of Tebbstirs (my so ool nic-name), Gary, and the twins, I really wan tot compare and contrast! Thanks!
Hey, Jen.
I’ve been reading your blog for some time, and haven’t really commented anything. So I figured that now was as good a time as any, eh?
You’ve definitely got some great writing skills right there. I really love to read your stories. It’s a bit sad that you’re rushing through these last few generations of your legacy family, but it’s sure been one hell of a ride, if I may. I’m sure it’ll be equeally good to be returning to the other stories.
You might have noticed that I signed up for SimScribes the other day, but it seems that I haven’t gathered anything important to say… And I’ve got a shyness score of 3.
While I’ve got to admit that your legacy got a little one-sided since Patrick passed away, I can perfectly understand that decision. I just hope you’re done in time.
Anydangways, good luck with the rest of the generations. And happy simming.
Congrats Jen! You’ve definitely earned Cleo. Good job, Gary! ;-)And congrats on your twins! They sure are something, though a major handful. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re so cute! It’ll be sad not having Kenneth, Vests, Tristan, or Stefaan in the house, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? And I understand perfectly about rushing through the last generations. I must admit that I’m doing the same exact thing as you. It gets kind of annoying when they gain life instead of lose it. I’ll try your little trick, for sure! Have fun shoveling your driveway (yes, that was sarcastic), and have fun playing the Shanleys today!
Wow Jen, I looove those 3-page-updates! Thanks sooo much for using my name for your little alien baby and congrats to that too – you’ve been trying so hard for it and finally it’s there :) – Cleo looks really pretty for an alien I must admit! And the twins are very sweet aswell, I like the change in nose, not so barbie-like anymore, a little broader, looks good! And I wonder, how is it possible that Scottie is blonde?! I thought genetics would not pass through three generations – and definitely not blonde, with black and brown parents!!
What I like, too, is that you have a generation with three different hair-colored children – never had that before, eh? I’m VERY excited to see the three grow up, expecially because of the looks and aspirations!
Oh, and will you actually move Vesta back home, because of the gravestone? I thought you should have all generations featured, or not? Well, whatsoever, I loved that update!! Greeeeeeat choice with Gary :)
OH, and @ Helen: ‘sehr’ is German and in fact it DOES mean ‘very’! Good one ;)
Many greetings from Frankfurt (had to get rid of the snow too), Eva!
It was nice to come back after shoveling and have so many great comments already. Thanks, guys!
Kristina – Congrats on your alien baby and good luck on finishing the challenge! :-)
Mary – You’re lucky you don’t get snow where you are. I wish you could have helped me, too. ;-) The snow at the end of the driveway was up to my knees because of the snowplow!
Helen – Mia is a lovely name, I’m adding it to the list. It would be great for my 10th gen baby, if it’s a girl, because my legacy founder’s name was Nia. The beach in my picture is from the Virgin Islands, so you were pretty close!
Lani – Hi! I hope you get your own alien baby soon! :-)
Leslie – The house in my front yard pic isn’t mine — it’s the house across the street. I took that pic from my front window. But thanks! ;-) It is fun to have a snow day sometimes.
Lindsey – I took some profile pics tonight, so I’ll crop them and post them tomorrow for you!
Alexander – Hi and thanks for your honest comment. It made me think about what I’m going to do when I’m done with the challenge. Even though I’m rushing through it now, I think I will miss it. I’m not entirely certain I’ll want to go back to my usual stories after this, but I’m not sure I want to do another Legacy Challenge all over again, either. It’ll probably end up being a combination of both. At any rate, I hope it’ll still be fun to read about! I’m glad you joined SimScribes, too — welcome!
Jessica – Heya, I’m glad I’m not the only one rushing through the last generations. Best of luck to you, and I love your new site!
Eva – I like the variety in hair and nose shapes, too. :-) I’m thinking Gary must have some blonde genes hiding in him in order for Scottie to have blonde hair. I’m not entirely sure how Sim genetics work, but it’s definitely interesting to see what traits appear in each generation. As for Vesta, I won’t be able to move her back, since you can’t move in anyone who has moved out once already. And you’re right, I won’t have any 7G gravestones as a result, but that’s OK. You get 1 point per platinum headstone no matter what the generation, and one extra point for getting all 5 aspiration headstones. I already have a Family one, so I don’t need Vesta’s. Great questions!
OMG YOU FINALLY GOT AN ALIEN BABY YAY!!!!!!!!
I haven’t been commenting much lately, but I just wanted to let you know I’ve been following religiously. And I am very excited about Cleo — if you’d gone to generation 10 without an alien baby it would have been very disappointing, considering how hard you’ve been trying to get one, lol. Good luck on making it before the new expansion pack comes out!
Wow. Wow. Wow. I’m practically speechless. This blog is my lifeline. Jen, you’re a genius! Congratulations! CYA…
Congrad indeed to all the new additions! I love twins cause liek u said, are never clones! and your little alien baby looks so cute! way cuter than mine two who had huge eyes. And Lennan looks so cool by the way, very nice features, so hopefully he’ll maintain those features through to adulthood^^
Oh I’m happy for you finally getting the alien baby! And Twins! that’s exciting, I’m also glad you like Gary. yay! So much excitement in this update. I love reading your blog because since I can’t play my game at the moment it makes things not so bad. I get a good dose of the Sims by reading. So yay! Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Congrats on your alien baby and the twins! I was so excited to get mine this weekend, my first alien ever. They’re so cute with the green skin and big black eyes :D Weird looking, but cute in an odd way
yay, an alien baby! they sure are cute when they’re small… but i don’t like the shape of their heads when they grow up. at least you got a wish fulfilled!
Hi Jen!
Alien baby, twins, niceness scores of three…what next?
The alien baby is so cool, maybe when she is older you can move her out and she can have her own family?
Good luck with shovelling the snow!
E-Liz :)
How did Scottie get blonde hair? That’s weird, seeeing how her parents have brown/black hair…
Yay for the alien baby! When I played the Viscud brothers, I named Pascal’s alien baby Alena.
YOUR…FAMILY… ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! So much that it bothers me. Thanks for using the name Scottie I think it is cute. I think Scottie should be the heir. She is cuter. Have fun!
Your blog is awesome as usual. You have excellent writing skills. I absolutely adored the Colin Firth T-shirt. I know hes kinda old but I love him, especially in Pride and Prejudice. Can you tell me where you got the shirt if you can remember.
I just read the “Colin firth” comment, and had to read your story again to see it. not that that was a problem. If only you had a shirt of him all wet and running into Elizabeth in Pride and Predjudice. Woo woo
Heehee, the Colin Firth shirt was created by grizzelldda at The Sims Resource. I love Colin, too, especially as Mr. Darcy. Le sigh…
Thanks for all of the comments, you guys!!
That was a really great update. Twins AND an alien baby. And you used the guy name I suggested…thanks. :)
