Here they share a stolen moment in the love tub.
The next day both Rian and Callum had birthdays, so I bought birthday cakes this time and had a little party. Rian became an adult and looks pretty cute from the front. From the side, though, the incredible largeness of his nose becomes readily apparent. I’m guessing he inherited it from his mother Kaylynn, though her nose wasn’t THAT big — just sort of long and pointy.
After that, it was Callum’s turn! He grew into a teen, so I rolled his aspiration…Fortune. D’oh! Oh well. Looks like they might be spending their inheritance money on some stuff to keep Callum happy. I think Callum looks almost exactly like his brothers Patrick and Owen. I have no doubt Dubrey and Heath will follow the same pattern.
Since I hadn’t fulfilled one of Rian’s wants that day, and he wanted to Stargaze, I sent him up to Liam’s telescope. The first kid to use the telescope! I’m surprised no one has found it yet. Maybe now that I’ve sent Rian up there, he’ll seek it out on his own. In the far background you can see Callum passed out on the chaise on the patio. That’s a first, too. Usually he makes it to his bed with no problem. He must have been exhausted!
Strangely enough, after I sent Rian to the outbuilding where the telescope is housed, Aidan discovered the computer on its first floor. No one had done that yet, either, so I’m guessing Aidan was following Rian and ended up in that room.
This is just a “portrait” of the two adults, Rian and Maire. You can see here how much Maire looks like her sisters, Taryn and Fiona. Her brother Rian doesn’t look like anyone, really. Maybe a little bit like Liam and Devin.
As for who will inherit Liam’s house when he passes away, I think it’s a toss-up between these two. Liam has a lifetime relationship score of 100 with both of them, though it fluctuates slightly from day to day. My plan is to check those scores at 5:30 on the evening that I believe Liam will go — whoever has the highest lifetime and daily at that moment will inherit the house.
And Zuzu finally got that first kiss! I had that want locked for days, and her aspiration meter was close to red, so I’m glad it finally happened. Rian happened to walk outside at that moment to witness the happy occasion. You can get a good look at his crazy long nose.
When I quit out of the house, Liam was 80 days old and hadn’t passed away yet. His aging bar looks like it is maybe one or two days away from full, so when I play them again, I’ll try to keep him in platinum as much as possible. Since it’s not a Legacy house, I’m not desperate for a platinum headstone, but I think Liam deserves one. (continued on page 3)
Rian’s nose IS very big. LOL. I wish I could have one of these sites with MY sim stories but this good for nothing DELL has zip (overall) for memory left over so I’m playing Sims 2 on a different computer. I enjoy reading your stories. I think awhile back you were the one to tell me on TSR where to find some good stories, bc I love ’em. Just everyone doesn’t update nearly enough for impatient me. :) Well keep them updates coming!
Wow I loved this update! I think it is Kaylynn’s nose that passes on to the males because my children with her on a different family had the same nose. :)
I wish I had the courage to make more houses for my Legacy family! Your brave – now you have two houses plus the main Legacy house to manage! Good luck!
Wow, all your girls look so much alike! Even Eleanor looks like them. Thank gosh they’re pretty, right? Lol. Very cool update! I’m trying my hardest to get my next update ready, but I just don’t have time. I’ve had a very unexpected busy weekend. Well good work! These spinoff houses are a good break from the main house.
Hehe, I just have to comment on Eleanor’s shirt. It’s awesome! PENGUINS!
Anyways, I think it’s awesome how you’re trying to play all three houses now. If my kids moved out, I would probably just stay in the main house… it’s great you have so much time to play. Lucky…
This was an awesome update. Can’t wait for your next!
That is a big nose indeed, but it makes the sims a little more human to me, even te cute ones have a less cute feature, to perfect is nothing for me. Plain ugly is nothing for me either, but anyway…
It’s going to be a lot of hard work to play them all simultanious, I am currently trying to keep Ben’s house (G2, brother of heiress) up to date with the main house, so he has to become an elde… Gotta do a lot of playing in verry little time… .
Good luck with your femilies! Don’t you love how they all get interlinked and in the end you have a whole neighboorhood related and befriended. I just love it!!
How awesome. Thanks for using my name! I felt so proud of myself for choosing that name. lol. Now I have a big head. Well, I’m off to get Mercedes to update my blog. I just finished playing Rioneh River and there was hope for a second generation… Sincerely, Dustyn.
Whoa.. the family is expanding indeed. It’s cool to watch a whole neighbourhood of people which can be traced back to the legacy founder! lol Rian’s nose reminds me of a witch. my G2 Legacy holder has a similar nose except a bit broader and it annoys me lol… cause his otehr 3 siblings didn’t have that nose I don’t think.
Wow, your family is huge! I’ll probably go back to playing my Legacy family next week. I miss them a little bit :)
Hi Jen. Great job on the update. How do you do it? You have taken on a big task by having now 3 sim houses. I think it’s a great idea but I hope you don’t over extend yourself. I think you should keep Taryn and hubby young together or old together. It seems she has earn a few more days of youth since she helped so much at Uncle Liam’s house. I can’t wait to read your next update on your legacy challenge.
Hey everyone, thanks for the comments. Yeah, I’m probably a little insane for starting yet another offshoot of the main house, but I couldn’t let Taryn just disappear. We do get attached to these little simulated people, don’t we? Heehee. Hopefully when I play her house I can move things along quickly (triple speed is your friend) so I don’t take up too much time. I need to finish this challenge before March!
Why before March? Good luck finishing your challenge. We are all hide you and eager to see you through the end.
Sim you later.
Hi Mary! According to Pinstar, the creator of the Legacy Challenge, the challenge will be officially over once the new expansion pack is released. Since that will be sometime in March, I’m hoping to finish the challenge before then. :-)
ohhh!! I see. Hey Jen I just saw my type-o. I meant to say “We are all behind you not hide you.” :) lol opps. I read my comment three times before I posted it and didn’t catch that. lol sorry. Thanks for answering my question.
Eleanor looks like a boy to me. x) I mean, without the little buns on the top of her hair–she’d look like a boy. o_o
And some of the Shanley girls (namely-Zuzu and Taryn…) have short, fat lips. Where’d they get that from, I wonder?
oh, my – i need to get started on my legacy family before March. i’ve been so lazy. i really just want to redecorate the Blogger house and get a move on with them. decisions, decisions… oh, well, i’m not playing by the rules anyway. :)
Hi Mieko, I know what you mean…maybe Eleanor will look more like a girl when she becomes a teen. They seem to change a lot in that transition. If not, there’s always make-up! Or maybe she can be a tomboy. :-)
Not sure where Taryn and Zuzu (and Fiona and Maire) inherited their mouth from!
*scratches head*
Yeah. I can’t forget though–my sim child was a pretty girl x3 *pride & joy*. But since I can only play ts2 on my mother’s laptop–then, well, I don’t have screenshots and my mom deletes it off everytime I go home. o_o (don’t live with her.)
x.o
Even if the challenge is over, I’m still gonna continue doing it. I’m not even keeping score anymore. I just enjoy playing the challenge!
Yeah, I don’t think it really matters when the challenge is “officially” over, since people will keep playing it anyway! I personally want a deadline so that I’ll focus on the challenge and actually finish it, instead of drifting back to my other families and never getting to 10th gen. :-)
I can’t believe you are playing three houses at once. That must be a challenge of it’s own. I’ve tried doing that and I end up playing one family too long and one not enough. You seem to be doing well though.
