I broke my previous record of being offline for nearly a year - it's been nearly 2 years since I last posted anything here. And boy has everything changed. I've not played the sims for almost as long as me not posting too. However, I'm more than a generation ahead, I do plan to see it through!
After a nearly 3 year gap, I present the latest shenanigans of the main households.
AUSTEN
Even I had to go back to my old posts, but this is the current occupants of the Austen Estate:
Minnesota - Gen 5 heir and current Austen matriarch
Alon - her husband
Rayquaza - their son, Gen 6 heir
Robin - his wife
Aureolin, Chartruse and Coquelicot, their Gen 7 children
The Austens are known for their continued pursuit of wealth, and skilling up is essential for the quickest promotions.
Alon: your parents don't have time but I do :D
Robin: *laser focused on next career move*
Aureolin: *just want gold stars*
RIP Alon :(
Minnesota: I guess now I am toddler duty then
but not for long lol
The twins! Coquelicot with "coquelicot" hair, and Chartreuse with "chartreuse" hair. Apparenty it could be yellow or green...
Grandma fun times! Robin wondering when she was the last time she had time with the kids.
Rayquaza hiding out in the basement for some much needed breaktime. Being a Criminal Mastermind is hard!
Robin: finally you are here where have you been hiding *blank eyes and unnerving smile*
Nomnom promotions wait for no one
Lonely night, although Alon's remains are still nearby
(no idea why it's floating tho, kinda creepy)
She needs a hobby, so time to make use of the hobby room which I'm very happy with.
Other hobbies are important, like old flame Zwei (this explains why in the last post he was full ghosting his live-in girlfrend)
Alon's urn: *exists*
After school debating team apparently is conducted on the basement of the Austen house.
ALON IS NOT HAPPY
Coquelicot: I swear there's was a ghost of grandpa floating around last night! He was mad about something!
Minnesota: I don't believe you! There's no wizardry in here!
Also Minnesota: *shits bricks*
Phil Heller is the designated "angry neighbour" and boy it's so creepy that he's there.
Here's a random photo of the house!
A+ for all!
Aureolin grows up! Looks pretty much the same.
Uh-oh
Passed with 37 points to spare!
Austen priorities are strong here.
A couple photo for the picture wall!
The romance continues.
Apparently with lack of validation from her parents Aureolin jsut gave up doing homework altogether...
Dancing and kissing on a quiet afternoon.
Time for the twins to grow up!
Makeover at the local shop (they are kinda polar opposites)
Coquelicot who will be my heir since she has elf ears.
and last but not least Chartreuse!
HELLER
The current occupants of the Heller Estate:
Oklahoma - Gen 5 heir and current Heller matriarch
Phil - her husband
Yvetal - their son, Gen 6 heir
Emmy - Yvetal's husband
Cerulean and Harlequin, their Gen 7 children
This update is a continuation of the last post about them, which was a quiet afternoon of Phil (yes the creepy neighbourhood guy) teaching Harlequin how to walk.
Yvetal tries to recreate the same level of enthusiasm for sucess like the Austens but Emmy is just not having it.
A visit from the Coopers! Xerneas is the sister of Yvetal, and she brings her husband Sven and older daughter Olivine.
Sibling hugs! Olivine is struck by how large the house is compared to her townhouse and daydreams about being the heir instead.
Since the reality is that she's not, surely doesn't hurt to snatch a few quick bucks!
Very living in the living room. Olivine plays a game of chess with cousin Cerulean.
Emmy socialising with the visitors, most interesting topic is that she share a name with a TV awards show.
Gossip gossip
Yvetal hiding out in the basement doing shady stuff...or possibly just doing some research?
Harlequin grews up! Thought this shot was a nice palette of colour.
Cerulean laying thick on how he's the better grandchild.
The colour "harlequin" is actually a more vibrant green, so I've changed her hair a bit.
What a weird want...or fear. I think there's some typo here...apparently Emmy is a pet lol.
Golden anniversary!
Minnesota and Zwei have a quick one in the Asian garden before heading for the toast.
Yay! They made it just in time. Also present are all of their children and their grandchildren! Oh and Oklahoma's brother Oregon.
Cute mother daughter moment.
Not as high as the Austens, but passed with flying colours!
Party is over, quick finish up your homework!
A boost to Fun in the secret games room before school.
A+!
Cerulean brings home a friend - Alizarin Crimson Elizondo.
Harlequin not quite there yet but that's okay, only just started school.
Autumn time, and there's leaves everywhereeeeeee.
Hug for dad when he comes home from work!
At some point cousin Isabelline Cooper came over and stayed long after to give painting tips.
Rise and shine
Poor Yvetal sitting about 10 miles away from everyone else.
New painting to make this neutral corridor more vibrant.
It's Cerulean's birthday!
Gave him a bit of punky look.
He's taken a liking to Music, like every other person in this household.
Such high standards, promotion get it was only a "so-so" week.
Phil: Did you know that your husband (my son) had his heart completely broken by this women who was two-timing him and his brother? And she eventually married the brother (my other son) and she's now your sister in law? Sooo much drama right??
Emmy (who seen it all unfold during college): *feigns shock*
Yvetal just wants a nap but apparently this is *the* place to hang out for all the adults.
Downstairs the kids are finishing their homework.
Cerulean: tag you're it - time to grow up!
agh I love her!
Could you tell who is clearly the favourite child? Harlequin is to be my Gen 7 Heller heir!
95 pics under cut.
