The Laflamme Legacy, Chapter 7.0- The “OMG WE HAVE A SNOWCONE MACHINE!” Chapter

I’m back, with a shiny new expansion, house and Gen 7!

Of course, this means the first part of the chapter is dedicated to the house tour, so here we go:

The front, complete with random prank-light…

Main entrance hall…

The first downstairs bathroom…

The skill/family room…

The second bathroom…

The huge laundry room, necessary because this family leaves that much mess everywhere…

The kitchen and dining area…

Upstairs hallway that looks rather plain…

A third bathroom because I realised that having two in a house with 14 people really isn’t a good idea.

Now for the bedrooms- this one is Summer and Húbért’s.

Húbért has also dedicated him time to ~~failing at being a scientist~~ gathering more victims of the stuffed bear curse, and brought them back here so he can help, or so he claims. That, or they’re new recruits for the Evil Legacy Items’ Club. It’s hard to tell.

Next are the kids’ bedrooms:

This room will be the nursery, decorated in Gen 7 colours for now:

Finally, I did a little bit of landscaping to make the outside look better:

The heir graveyard will be expanded when necessary, but for now, it can just stay and look pretty.

We now have a pool even though my common sense is telling me that it’s a recipe for disaster, but what fun is summer without a pool? Unfortunately, it’s also a paparazzi magnet.

Paparazzi Guy: “I could use a little help, here…”

No, that’s the best place for you.

Matilda: “Don’t worry, we’ll give you a hand!”

Paparazzi Guy: “Uh, on second thought, I think I’ll just stay here and glitch through the pool, thanks.”

Maggie: “Never mind him- is that a new stereo?!”

Matilda: “I think so. Wanna rave to classical music?”

Maggie: “As always.”

Luckily they haven’t found the barbecue/hot tub/play area yet.

Anyway, that’s the tour over and done with, so lets get on to the important stuff.

Namely, Lanya’s makeover, since the other one looked awful. I really like the new headband that came with Seasons, even though it isn’t a ski cap like I first thought.

As expected, Ike made a beeline for the pool and didn’t move for several hours.

Ike: “What? I did all the hard work last chapter!”

Húbért: “I don’t trust this…”snowcone.” Are you sure this isn’t ice cream with chlorine dumped on top?”

If Ashton had anything to do with making it, then it probably does. With broken glass sprinkles.

I’m so glad EA are giving an example of a real British summer. It was hailing on the first day. XD

There’s also this adorable little scarecrow that stands guard outside the house, along with the gargoyles. He’s great.

Ike: “I don’t think the scarecrow likes my guitar playing any more than I do.”

If you’re going to be a rock star, then you need to practice. After all, Willow was self taught- I doubt you can be any worse.

This is where Autumn and the others are living now. Typical.

Blue Ribbon Lady: “Are you just going to stand there or what?”

Quinn: “Eh, you’ve seen one zombie attack, you’ve seen them all.”

Quinn: “Still, I’ll camp out here for a few days, just to be sure any stray zombie pathogens didn’t infect me.”

Back home, Húbért was partaking in an intense game of hopscotch because the girls bullied him into it.

He well and truly lost to a ten year old and a six year old. Hahahaha.

Húbért: “When you’re a stuffed bear for 300 years, you don’t exactly have time to practice your hopscotch skills, amazingly. God, this is humiliating.”

Jasmine: “The princess declares that she should be allowed to eat ice cream for breakfast, and a pink unicorn (not purple, those are so boring), will arrive to take her to school tomorrow. See that these requests are granted, Mother.”

Lanya: “Uh huh. If the unicorn is yellow and school bus shaped, does it still count?”

Announcing the first Gen 8 baby! There may be a slight gap in between kids this gen, since I have to wait for Dante and Quinn to age up to free up slots, but no matter.

Smustle dancing is back! Trust Summer to make it as awkward looking as possible.

Summer: “Uh, I don’t think this is how diving is supposed to work?!”

Especially not in a heavy coat, jeans and boots! D:

Summer: “I don’t like this. What if the pool was deliberately trying to kill me by messing up my dive?! I’m getting out, right now!”

Húbért had his adult birthday and doesn’t look any different.

Húbért: “Thank you, Mr Plant! Happy birthday to you, too.”

I remembered to book Summer a gig for the first time in many, many months. She actually sounds pretty good (I guess all those sing-a-grams paid off).

Summer: “And nobody died during this one!”

She also keeps getting calls (from the same guy, no less), asking her if she wants to go on a date with him, never mind the fact she’s been married for about twenty years.

Summer: “Sorry, I only date cursed teddy bears.”

To distract them all, I sent everyone out to the Summer Festival. I really like these seasonal events- they’re so much fun and there’s loads to do.

Dante: “I really am good at this, trust me!”

Ike: “That’s the fourth save you’ve missed in ten minutes!”

Exactly like my old laptop.

Then again, he’s not exactly one to talk.

The girls, of course, were complete killjoys and sat around doing homework, whilst Jasmine was suffocated by her sister’s speech bubble. Such a tragic end.

I was slightly wary about trying the eating contests, since I’ve heard of a glitch where sims die of starvation whilst participating (no idea whether it’s just NPCs) but everyone turned out fine. Summer won. 😀

You can also pick wild flowers now and keep them (they automatically come with vases). I really like this picture. (:

Water balloon fights! I think at the end of the legacy, there should be a match against heirs.

I was way too happy about this game, too. Didn’t they have this in Sims 1?

Ike: “Getting out of bed in the middle of the night- it must be labour!”

Lanya: “Yeah, but the hospital can wait- I have to make the bed! Your aunt said evil pixies can eat the pillows if we don’t make the bed tidy.”

Ike: “I think that’s the least of our worries right now!”

Haha, her eyes are huge! She gets points for the best labour face. XD

It’s a boy!

That hat is so adorable! Anyway, this is Harvey Laflamme who is a Genius that Loves the Cold (yay for new traits!). He also likes Latin music, cobbler and Irish Green, which is fitting since he inherited Ike’s colouring, but facially looks a lot more like Lanya.

Now for two more birthdays:

I was tempted to give her the full mermaid outfit, but she got the hair instead. Her new trait is Frugal, and she’s still a clone of Summer. Jasmine, on the other hand, wasn’t as fortunate…

She looks exactly like Húbért, which looks slightly odd on a female face. Her new trait is Proper, which is weirdly appropriate.

Oh well. At least we got a cool picture from the Summer Festival!

Just some spare updates quickly:

That’s all for now- drop me a comment if you have the time!

The Laflamme Legacy, Chapter 6.6- A Glitch Called Melody

The last chapter of Gen 6! I just realised that means I’ll have to make a new banner. ):

The results of the poll are in!

Harmony: “I won, naturally? Even though I’m not a genie.”

Jasmine: “But what about me? I’m adorable, everyone loves me!”

Ike: “I know it’s not me…I just wanted some cake but now they’re blocking me in.”

About that…

Ike: “You’re serious?!”

Very much so. Ike swept the poll with 8 votes, Harmony in 2nd place with three, Dante had two, and Skylar, Kara and Scarlett each got one vote. Thanks to everyone who participated!

I decided to kick off the spouse hunt as quickly as possible, and started out with the Elixir Consignment Store. Hat Lady seemed like a good possibility.

Hat Lady: “Marry into this family? Haha, good one.”

I turned Gary back into a human because I realised Autumn would probably die way before him, and I was planning to move them out at some point.

Gary: “But I’m still ridiculously good looking though?”

You will be once you take off that eye liner…

Ike: “You have the most beautiful set of wings I’ve ever seen on a faerie- how about we grab a drink later?”

Blue Outfit Lady: “Sorry, hon. You’re cute and all, but I’m married.”

Worth a try, but look over there:

I want these genetics- go talk to her, Ike!

Ike: “No complaints from me.”

She’s married, isn’t she?

Ike: “Yes.” ;_;

That was my reaction too- I have a policy about not breaking up married Sims. I feel guilty. XD

Blue Outfit Lady: “Don’t be upset- have some beautiful plastic flowers, on the house.”

Ike: “Thank you, Blue Outfit Lady. I would have married you if I could.”

Gary: “So nice to see everything back to normal around here…even Harmony’s happy for once, and she’s pure evil!”

Harmony: “Yes, Father…normal…”

This picture feels incredibly ominous. Can’t imagine why.

No this isn’t a potential spouse (thank God, LOOK at those lips), but this guy is actually Willow’s new husband. HAHAHA.

Tourist-Hat-Lady was also an option, but they all look kinda…normal, without any interesting genetics. I was hoping for something a bit more interesting.

Tourist-Hat-Lady: “Thanks. Love you, too.”

Autumn: “I’m bored with cooking now. Wonder if we’ve got weather yet…”

Harmony: “Oh, perfect. She beat me to it.”

Harmony: “I mean- HELP, SOMEONE! FIRE!”

Autumn: “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”

Not only did she manage to put it out, the stove was untouched! 😀

Back to Ike and his spouse-hunting, Tara seemed like our best bet, but even she was relatively boring-looking.

Tara: “Whoa, whoa, what made you think I wanted any part of this?”

Ike: “You were willing to come out on a date at 8 o’clock at night in the middle of a park…”

This was the only remotely interesting Sim I could find, and, well…those pretty red eyes aren’t worth ruining the genetics for.

Interesting-looking person! Quick, before-

Sophie: “Sorry- married. See the ring?”

Ike: “But surely I’m much better looking than your husband?”

Back to the drawing board…

Recognise her? I didn’t until the name label showed up- it’s Willow. HAHAHAHA!

Willow: “This is Kacey’s ghost’s idea of a punishment, right?”

Ike: “Are you single, desperate or a gold-digger? Because seriously, I’m running out of options.”

Titania: “Ew, no. I have a husband, creep!”

Ike: “Are you willing to cheat on your husband? I’m a legacy sim, I could build you a mansion!”

Titania: “You have five seconds to get away from me before I call the police or I push you into that pool.”

B-but I wanted those pointy ears! D:

She then got stuck in a door. I call that ~~funny~~ karma.

Yeah, I think an ice cream break is mandatory…

And to top it all off, Summer managed to set herself on fire and become invisible when she was performing a sing-a-gram. Perfect.

Skylar: “I don’t want to have a birthday party out here! The ladybirds might find us!”

Ike: “Yes, you do. Trust me, you’ll like your present.”

He rolled Lucky for his last trait. It suits him.

Ike: “Happy birthday, bro.”

This is where things started to go wrong. I spotted Harmony standing in the car park across the road, and thought nothing of it…

But she was at home, too. Yeah, the game somehow cloned Harmony when I wasn’t looking.

Autumn: “I’m sure I didn’t have twins…I didn’t, did I?”

Harmony: “No, Mother dear. My plan just worked perfectly.”

Harmony: “Ah, Melody. So glad you could make it. You are ready to join our cause?”

Melody: “Indeed I am, sister. The Evil Legacy Items’ Club will reign supreme once more!”

I was all set to adopt Melody into the house, but that was when my game started to glitch. I therefore had to take drastic action:

New save file time!

Autumn and her children moved out, freeing up the space for the rest of Gen 7.

Húbért: “Does that mean we’re finally rid of the genie?”

Yes. 😦

Húbért: “Good.”

Don’t complain- we’re losing his “make the house clean and sparkly,” ability.

We kicked off the spouse hunt again, and finally we had some luck. Quick, Ike- go talk to her before Story Progression grabs her!

Ike: “Way ahead of you. The new outfit was a nice touch.”

Only because I got sick of redoing it again after the game kept crashing.

We tried chatting to Lindy first, since she looked as interesting as Lanya did, but what really cemented the decision was Ike rolling wants for her, and this picture. Someone’s jealous! 😀

Ike: “Just so you know, I’m fully trained in ladybird defence. Stick with me, and they’ll never come near you again.”

Lanya: “Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.”

Ike: “So I guess I qualify as a knight in shining armour? Well, black and green armour, I guess…”

Lanya: “That’s my kind of hero.”

Ike: “Guess what? I’ve got a present for you!”

Lanya: “What is it?”

Ike: “It’s gold and white, rhymes with sing. Ringing any bells?”

Lanya: “It’s beautiful! Yes, I’ll marry you!”

Ike: “So, do I get a hug for this? ‘Cause I think I deserve one- do you know how hard it is to find a ring at half past seven in the morning?”

Lanya: “Of course you do!”

Time for a beach wedding!

See, this is productivity: they’ve got ready-made decorations and everything!

But first, graduation. Don’t even think about moving from that beach.

Ike: “Yes ma’am.”

With that done, cue the wedding, in beach-wear and Lindy stalking them. Happy days.

Ike: “So we’ll just ignore your creepy sister in her hideously inappropriate formal wear over there?”

Lanya: “That’s what I usually do.”

So Lanya Avilla is now Lanya Laflamme. Here’s her made over:

She’s a Bookworm with a Hopeless Romantic side to her character, with a keen interest in athletics and computers, even if she is a bit of a perfectionist. She likes indie music, grilled salmon, and the colour lime.

Before the close, some spare updates:

Nothing else to report, but expect to see me messing around with Seasons tomorrow! Drop me a comment if you have the time!

The Laflamme Legacy, Chapter 6.5- Heir Poll, Sixth Time Lucky

Yep, it’s that time again! It’s the heir poll! This time round I’m having it a little early, as Kara, Leo and Jasmine aren’t teens, but it would’ve used up a good chunk of Elsa and Ike’s YA life stage by the time they were old enough, which I thought unfair, hence the earlier poll. I aged them up in CAS so you can all see what they look like as teens, as a compromise.

Elsa: “Psst, guess what? Viki broke the game, not the new patch!”

Dante: “Haha, I knew it!”

Skylar: “Why am I even in this picture? I should go to bed…”

Mechanic: “If you two idiots have quite finished, I have a job to do.”

Yeah, I forgot to update my Portrait Panel mod, and the game kept crashing. Whoops. XD

Summer, why are you being responsible? I don’t like it.

Summer: “Oh, don’t worry. I’m not actually cleaning, that would be useful.”

Summer: “Have these girls never heard of the old saying, “Finders, keepers?” If I pick it up, it belongs to me.”

Such wonderful life lessons to be teaching your child and niece.

Húbért wasn’t doing anything productive either- he’d found the trampoline.

Húbért: “You peasants aren’t completely uneducated after all! Living with you might just be worth it!”

Scarlett: “Huh? What on earth is this thing?”

A bunk bed? We’re short on money and there isn’t enough space for two beds, so unless you prefer sleeping on the floor…

Scarlett: “No, I’m good.”

Scarlett: “I will overcome this obstacle! I’m an explorer in the making- if I’m gonna be exploring and excavating tombs, I can surely conquer this mighty beast!”

It’s a ladder, but I’ll let you have your fun.

Kara: “Auntie, do you think we can have a beach party once we finally get some decent weather?”

Autumn: “Of course! I’ll need to make sure I still look good in my bikini though- I feel so old now.”

You’re only just an adult…

Leo: “How about a holiday? Maybe we can go skiing!”

Ike: “Yeah, maybe…wonder how long it’ll take for someone to hurt themselves?”

In this family? Within an hour of arrival. I bet you.

Harmony: “This is a lovely topic for discussion, but could you DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?!

I sent everyone to the beach to test out the new swimming feature, and what did I find? A pair of traitors. D:<

I think this kid is Emmaline’s brother in law, and he’s clearly not to happy about the arrangement. Or maybe it’s the hideous outfit.

Scarlett: “Are you sure this is safe?”

No Yes.

Scarlett: “When I find that uncharted island they’d better name it after me!”

Ike: “Only if you don’t drown first!”

Scarlett: “Not helping, bro.”

…That water looks awfully cold. And deep. D:

Scarlett: “I made it! Just hope I can get back…”

Scarlett: “Time to explore! But first, homework. That’s clearly more important.”

And that was the end of our island exploring adventure. -_-

GO HOME, LEIF.

Leif: “But Snow kicked me out…can’t I move back in?”

Inside was the beginning of the first of many birthdays…

Ike: “Is it safe to look yet?”

Not quite. Let me fix that:

His final trait is Photographer’s Eye. Not a bad mix, but I don’t know what to do about a job…

Ike: “I want to run a day care!” 😀

If you’re sure…

Is that a cloudy sky I see? The patch gave me weather early! 😀 ~~watch as this breaks my game~~

I was keeping an eye out for possible spouses for Elsa…but I don’t think we’re this desperate.

This was a really pretty picture that Autumn painted, so even though we’re really short on cash, I kept it.

Summer: “So Leo, want a bed time story?”

Leo: “Thanks, Auntie, but I think Jasmine needs you…”

Summer: “Oh, that horrible screaming? I thought Gary had seen Bonehilda again.”

Horse Statue: “This is the most enthralling thing I have ever seen in my life.”

Clearly.

Summer: “I have an audience! I feel loved!”

Summer: “Skylar, I really think you need to work on your skills. How else are you supposed to become an honorary zombie if you can’t even bribe them with food?”

Skylar: “But zombies don’t need food!”

Summer: “They do now. And I’m not saying this because I wanted breakfast made for me.”

Summer: “Oh my gosh…this is the most amazing thing I have EVER seen!”

Summer: “An orange soap dispenser!”

Oh, the life of the easily amused.

Summer: “Autumn! Quit setting the kitchen on fire- I though I was supposed to be the irresponsible one!”

She put it out so fast, the stove was unmarked! Go Summer!

This is one of Ike’s classmates who I’m considering for his spouse- I think her name’s Alexandra? I’ll keep her in mind.

Only you would choose to sleep in a fog-filled graveyard by yourself.

Harmony: “It’s probably safer out here, what with Mother setting the kitchen on fire.”

Touché…

More birthdays!

He looks so much like Casper, it’s creepy. His fourth trait is Animal Lover.

Next up is Harmony!

Harmony: “I’ve been blinded by this infernal light. I hope for your sake you fix this.”

You’ll see her after picture in a minute, but her new trait is Dramatic.

With that, Autumn’s LTW was complete! Happy?

Autumn: “Enthralled.”

Go and find your proper glasses!

Finally, Jasmine grew up into a child.

She still looks completely like Húbért, and has Artistic as her third trait.

Now, with all those birthdays out the way, it’s time for the poll!

First up is Elsa, the eldest, who is a Slobby, Brave Virtuoso who is careful when it comes to spending money, such is her Frugal nature, and hates flirting. She likes Egyptian music, the colour pink and cobbler, wants to be a Hit Movie Composer and has no potential spouses.

Next is Ike, whoo thankfully got Emmaline’s hair and eyes (I was losing hope!) He’s a Perceptive, Clumsy Heavy Sleeper and Nurturing is in his nature, as well as an eye for photography. He too likes Egyptian music, ceviche and the colour black, wants to have the Lifestyle Of The Rich and Famous, and his only potential spouse is that Alexandra lady.

Third is Skylar, who loves supernaturals and dogs, also having a keen ear for music. May or may not be slightly Insane with his love of the colour spice brown, songwriter music, and vegetarian grilled salmon. His spouse will be Patty Younan and his LTW is to be a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder.

Fourth is Dante, who was the only child to inherit Húbért’s lovely hair. He’s slightly Eccentric and very concerned for the environment, even though he sleeps heavily after a busy performance. He likes country music, the colour lilac and French toast, has no potential spouse, and his LTW is to be Super Popular.

Fifth is Scarlett, who’s slightly Eccentric and Adventurous and a bit of a Schmoozer, but has a Good heart underneath. She likes pop music, sushi and the colour white, has no potential spouses and currently has no LTW.

Next is Quinn, who loves art, athletics and animals, even if he is a bit of a Perfectionist. He favours the colour yellow, classical music and spaghetti with veggie sauce, has no potential spouse, and has a LTW of being Super Popular.

Next is Harmony, and you can already tell what she’s like…

Harmony: “YOU LOST THE POLL BY DEFAULT!”

Quinn: “That’s mean!”

Harmony: “I know.” 😀

Anyway, she’s an Evil, Perceptive, Dramatic Genius who likes lilac, hip-hop music and tri-tip steak, dreams of being a World Renowned Surgeon, and has no potential spouse.

Next is Kara, who looks scarily like Summer:

She’s a Light Sleeping Virtuoso who loves books, French music, Key Lime Pie and Turquoise, has no potential spouse and wants to become a World Renowned Surgeon.

This is Leo, who is Easily Impressed and Loves the Outdoors, but is prone to bouts of neurotic-ness. He likes R&B, falafel and purple, has no potential spouse or LTW.

Finally, Jasmine:

She completely takes after Húbért, and is a Disciplined yet Excitable artist who likes rockabilly, pink and grilled cheese. She has no potential spouse or LTW.

There you go, so pick a favourite and vote! Votes will be accepted on the poll, in the comments or on the boolprop forums, and the voting will close on Saturday November 10th.

See you then!

The Laflamme Legacy, Chapter 6.4- The Cloning Machine Is Working Again!

Four things before I begin:

The title will make sense by the end of the chapter.

Said chapter is incredibly long.

The heir poll is going to be so difficult this time around.

And I broke my “no spoilers,” policy for the title pictures. Couldn’t resist.

Anyway, onwards!

We’re starting with one of many birthdays this chapter. Get used to these poses.

Skylar: “Does that mean I get more screen time?”

Oddly enough, yes.

You may want to keep your eyes closed until after the makeover.

Skylar: “Should I be worried?”

Yes. This looks better:

Skylar is now a Supernatural Fan, making this picture wonderfully appropriate. Since he now likes zombies so much, he decided to emulate them by dressing like one.

Skylar: “Maybe they’ll let me be a honorary zombie…y’know, without all the dying and stuff.”

Good luck with that…

Gary: “Uh, Sky…can you tell your new friend that we aren’t accepting new recruits for the Evil Legacy Items Club right now…and put down that camera- I could die any second!”

Shh. You’re making a wonderful face that will undoubtedly end up as my phone background.

Gary: “YOU CAN JOIN! YOU CAN JOIN! Just re-dye your hair first, please.”

Summer: “Ugh, I feel horrible. I blame the rug.”

Naturally. That rug is the source of all my game’s problems. I’ll have to get rid of it.

Summer: “Please do! Elsa doesn’t like it either!”

Elsa: “Yep, I definitely hate that rug. Whatever you say, Aunt Summer.”

She looks so pretty in that dress (and I have no idea why there’s a random child on the porch, either).

The only thing worse than throwing up? Throwing up and getting your head stuck in railings.

Now for the saga that was Elsa, Ike and Skylar’s prom:

Is winning a crown at a mainly insignificant secondary school event really so amazing that he can “stare at it everyday for the rest of his life?” I have to ask…

😀 Yes, Sky got a girlfriend! I have a picture of her later on and I’m keeping her as a spouse for sure.

😦 I wish I knew who it was though. Would be interesting.

Here are the pictures! I can’t help but feel Elsa’s dress is pretty inappropriate for that pose…

I have no idea why there are sausages on the desk.

Sky in his athletic outfit, without his date. Luckily I managed to get a photo a couple of days after:

She’s really pretty, and has an eye colour we haven’t had before! Her name is Patty Younan, and the only trait of hers I know so far is Hopeless Romantic.

As you probably all guessed, Summer is indeed pregnant again. And I’ve just realised how awful that bathroom looks- where’s Gary when you need him?!

She’s also accrued enough LTH points to get the “Queen of the Fae,” reward, so her wings can finally match her favourite colour.

Speaking of Gen 7…

Autumn: “Ike, guess what!”

Ike: “We’re finally hiring a plumber?”

Autumn: “Looks like you’ll be sharing your room after all!”

Ike: “Can’t I just move out and go live with Uncle Snow? I hear he needs someone to help with world domination…”

Nice try. Besides, we have Summer on hand for emergency repairs (and we seriously needed her- BOTH bathrooms had multiple plumbing failures, more than once):

Red Light That Is Currently Summer: “Why didn’t we find out about this sooner? It’s fun!”

Dante: “I appreciate the help, Dad, but I don’t think my teacher will accept “her grandmother found me in an attic as a teddy bear,” as a story for how my parents met.”

Húbért: “What are you talking about, of course they will! Hopefully some Hollywood executive will pick it up and turn it into a blockbuster.”

Keep dreaming. Maybe Ashton’s ghost can make it happen.

Birthdays round two heading your way:

Harmony: “I’m going to kill you the second you turn your back.”

Autumn: “That’s nice, dear…”

Post-makeover, this is what they look like:

Quinn’s new trait is Perfectionist, which goes nicely with his Artistic trait. I’m rather jealous of the stripy dungarees.

Quinn: “Psst. Am I the only one slightly scared of Harmony?”

Nope, I think I’m with you there (though I’m rather proud of that outfit). Her third trait is Perceptive, so god help anyone who tries to back stab this evil genius.

Harmony: “Oh, no need to worry about that. My underlings will be in such awe of my stellar wit and beauty they won’t even think about it.”

I sent the kids out of the house because Scarlett wanted to learn how to fish, and it was insanely crowded inside.

Elsa: “How about we play catch after this?”

Ike: “Given your track record involves breaking a mirror, several windows and the TV screen, I think I’ll pass.”

Scarlett: “Yeah, I’ll just stay over here where it’s safe. Preferably out of range of your fishing rod.”

Skylar wasn’t with them because he was ~~having extra screen time~~ on a date with Patty in the park nearby. Their relationship bar was already full and they kept having spontaneous romantic actions with each other. 😀

Faerie With Pink Wings: “Sorry, I’ll have to call you back- I have to ruin more cute photos by talking obnoxiously loudly with exaggerated hand gestures!”

I was slightly worried that “Ask If Single,” was still an option.

Skylar: “But that’s just a formality, right?”

Patty: “Of course it is- I wouldn’t have gone to prom with you otherwise.”

Skylar: “Good. Just checking.”

~~yes I missed the first kiss picture~~

Patty: “I bought some flowers for you! Hope you like them!”

I’m impressed- I don’t think I’ve had a NPC give out flowers before.

Skylar: “Hmm…they don’t appear to be poisonous, on fire, or overrun with ladybirds. Thanks!”

Skylar: “Want to make it official and be my ~~legacy spouse~~ girlfriend?”

Patty: “I can’t think of anything better.”

😀

Notice that it’s pretty dark in these pictures, so you’d assume that Ike, Elsa and Scarlett headed off home? Well, 2 out of 3 of them did…

Scarlett: “Forget going home- that’s boring. I want to go and see the faeries!”

Ah, responsibility. I wonder where it went.

Summer: “She’s sitting in my rocking chair.”

We have about three of them, take your pick.

Summer: “But I want this one.”

Húbért’s taking over as portrait painter for this gen, since we still need one for Autumn. You can tell he still has a fair way to go.

Húbért: “I’m painting illustrations for my autobiography. See, this is the dire little village I grew up in.”

Uh, I think there’s something more important going on over here…

Húbért: “Nonsense. I’m far more important.”

Autumn: “Okay, okay! I’m sorry I stole the chair!”

They both got the baby girl and boy they each wanted! Now let’s see what they look like:

Take one look at that face and tell me your heart didn’t melt. XD This is Kara Laflamme who has the Virtuoso and Light Sleeper traits, along with favourites of French music, Key Lime Pie and turquoise. She’s practically a clone of Summer, facially, along with her skin tone and hair, but she got Húbért’s eye colour, which looks lovely.

Now for her cousin!

This is Leo, who rolled Neurotic and Easily Impressed- if I’m right, I don’t think we’ve had any Neurotic sims since Gen 1. His favourites are R&B, falafel and the colour purple. He’s got Gary’s skin tone and eyes, but has fallen prey to the mystery genetics like Scarlett with his hair. Still, it looks nice with the eye and skin tone combination.

Harmony: “Hey siiiiis- guess what I’ve got for you!”

Kara: “Hug?”

Harmony: “Ha. You wish.”

Kara: “…Hug?”

It’s a good thing I like you, Harmony. Your little sister’s adorable, be nice to her! ~~or no heir vote for you~~

Harmony: “Oh, please. I’m clearly the favourite. And yours, too.”

…It’s true…

This is now Harmony and Leo’s room, since I figured as they both liked purple, they could share. You can also just about see Quinn’s room, and ~~I’m too lazy to take another picture~~ that’s pretty much all the furniture in there, we’re so poor now.

Quinn: “Oh no, we’ve vanished! Good thing I have super powers…”

Quinn: “Ta da! Visible again! Quinn Laflamme saves the day!”

Leo: “HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!”

This is too adorable for words. 😀

I realised Húbért hadn’t been doing any of the toddler skilling, so I figured it was time her stepped up to the plate.

Húbért: “Repeat after me: summer is evil. The sun is conspiring against me to afflict the dreadful curse of sunburn.”

Kara: “Sunburn evil?”

Húbért: “Close enough.”

Yet another birthday (I did warn you!)

Note that the plumbing still hasn’t been fixed.

She looks so pretty and identikit to Autumn! Her final trait is Frugal, and she wants to be a Hit Music Composer for her LTW. I think that’s do-able with her Virtuoso trait.

Time for the last Gen 7 baby! And why is the vomit blue?

Summer: “This’ll be the tenth kid in the house. Hope we’ve got an on-hand babysitter.”

Yeah, her name’s Elsa.

Elsa graduated with “Most Likely To Be A Rockstar,” which certainly sounds promising!

Ike: “Does this mean we can go for dinner? I’m starving.”

If you’ve got the money hidden away somewhere, sure.

Harmony: “This is boring. Somebody carry me home.”

It descended into chaos pretty quickly after that.

Autumn: “…Can you believe it, he INSULTED my namesake! I knew that man would be nothing but trouble.”

Harmony: “Hmm…it sounds like Uncle Húbért would be an interesting ally for my schemes. Thank you, Mother.”

Ike: “I don’t know, I always assumed black was the most flattering colour for me, but what do you think? Should I change it?”

Scarlett: “Are you still obsessing over Sky getting a girlfriend and not you?”

Ike: “…~~Yes~~ Maybe…”

Kara: “I have mastered the art of reading invisible books. Please, hold your applause.”

Autumn: “Are you kidding me? ANOTHER birthday?!”

I told you so…

She doesn’t look that different (I just changed her hair back to normal) so there’s not really any need for a post-makeover picture.

But there is for these guys!

STOP BEING SO ADORABLE!

That is one scary expression. 0_0

This one isn’t much better, either.

I don’t have an after picture of Leo because my game won’t load thanks to the 1.42 patch crashing my game, but his new trait is Loves The Outdoors.

She looks so much like Summer it’s a little scary (and how skinny is Húbért? I promise I feed him!) Her third trait is Bookworm.

How about another birthday? 😀

I’m jealous of her ability to look good in hipster glasses. 😦 Scarlett’s fourth trait is Schmoozer, so I guess she’ll try and blag free holidays?

This will be the last Gen 7 baby, hence why the chapter is so long- I wanted to get all the kids born so I can have the poll next chapter.

You can definitely tell who her father is! This is Jasmine Laflamme, who was born with the Disciplined and Excitable traits, along with favourites of the colour pink, rockabilly music and grilled cheese. She’s got Summer’s hair and skin tone, but Casper’s eyes, along with Húbért’s face.

How about we conclude with a birthday?
