Final update for the main families and second last update this generation follows on from chapter 6.7. Let's see what the prospective gen. 7 heirs are up to!
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
Yvetal and Emmy getting it on in the hot spa in their bamboo garden.
Oklahoma and Phil meanwhile is enjoying the other outdoor spa (man there's a lot of outdoor spas in this house).
The kids Harlequin and Cerulean is having a bowling match in the secret games room.
RIP to my overachieving Gen 5 Heller Heir
Quik obituary: second daughter to Holden Heller and his first wife Dagmar, however Dagmar unexpectantly died while pregnant with her. Dagmar was eventually revived and Oklahoma was born and grew up outside the Heller household. Given her record sweep of scholarships she was designated the Gen 6 heir and gone on to top several careers. She had 2 full blood sisters, 3 half-brothers from her father's side (2 from Holden's second wife Joy and 1 from his love affair with Cadillac) and 3 half siblings from her mother's side. She leaves behind husband Phil, 3 (surviving) children, and 6 grandchildren.
Anyway Yvetal is the new head of Heller house!
A few moneys for her family and friends.
:'(
Everyone deals with grief a little differently. Harlequin plays the heirloom guitar.
Most of the family is letting their emotions out.
Phil remembers fond memories.
Emmy tries to get her husband to take his mind off things - back at the bamboo garden for "relaxation".
Phil follows his wife to the afterlife paradise shortly after.
His physical remains however will be moved to the local cemetery.
Oklahoma says bye bye!
Ever get a really eerie feeling a dog is watching you fail at pool?
Random short of Harlequin. I think she's a cute one!
God poor Verdigris just getting bullied by everybody. If you recall there was his grandma's hard sell, Magnolia's persistent flirting, and how Cerulean's rough noogie.
This is apparently the best gossip in the town - the late party goer had an accident...at a party.
Harlequin hops on the noogie train.
Verdigris is experiencing some very strong deja vu here...
As the new head of Heller house Yvetal is to take his place in the Intelligent career.
Drums! The Hellers are a very musical bunch. Something I realised the Austens don't have is a dedicated room to rock some jazz.
Remember in the last chapter the spare Heller brothers Orange and Onyx fighting over Lilac? Well this is Lilac's actual crush...and going well. This garden is doing wonders!
Also Lilac is Verdigris's twin sister - he must be annoyed at the double standards.

Other noises are occuring in the main living room. It's a new years party!
Yay!
Hey same hairstyle! (Although when Finneon was still young).
Verdiris is cautious of when he might get noogied again...but the Heller siblings seems nice for now...
(kept this photo because their hair colours formed a nice gradient)
There's a wing of the house that has been virtually untouched (mainly because it's the newest and there isn't many kids this gen). I've converted the two rooms into a suite. This is the study side.
The sleeping side.
How they look together - really liking the blue/yellow and pink/green contrast! Although I might change the doors up or something.
I didn't even know there were two leaders of the wolf pack, let alone them being affectionate with each other.
It's time for the Yevtal and Emmy to grow old...good to see there's still so much love between them!
Still looks great!
Cerulean has made a new friend - Razzmatazz Hertlein (who is Lilac's cousin actually...check the family tree)
Oh more than friends...wow Cerulean is such a player.
He can be player in colleage - time for him to go. See you later!
There's more details in the next chapter but Yvetal's sister Xerneas and husband Sven are welcomed to into the household since there wasn't much else to go after the kids have gone to college.
(Also because there's too many households and it's a bad idea for elders to die on an apartment lot.)
They will take residence in the new wing! The sisters in law are clearly very excited.
It's time for Harlequin to also move to college. See you soon!
That leaves just 4 oldies in this house for now, although I won't realistically play them until after gen 7 college.
AUSTEN
Minnesota - Gen 5 heir and current Austen matriarch. Widow of Alon.
Rayquaza - her son, Gen 6 heir
Robin - his wife
Aureolin, Chartruse and Coquelicot, their Gen 7 children
Coquelicot having a go at the electric guitar
The ghost of Chrom wandering...
The Austens somewhat have a music room, they get to wake up to more classical music.
There was a small nook I wasn't sure what to do with, so it's renovated as a mini bar!
Portraits of generations 5 to 7, and the eldery butler has seen it all - he truly is immortal.
Coquelicot skilling up, as expected of a future heir (not sure I've made it clear previously, but yes she's my favourite and will be the Generation 7 heir. Eventually.)
Chartreuse is also a hard worker, hoping to get more fit.
A stoic girls' dinner (minus Coquelicot)
Chartreuse: Ever since I realised I gained some weight, I told myself, I cannot let it get this way. Everyday I would work out a little, starting the punching bag a little, and worked my ass off literally on the electric bike. I've worked hard, and I've reached my goal. I'm ready to show my real physical self to the world.
She says to no one - but I'm proud of her!
holy shiet that's a lot of simoleons nobody has to ever work in this house!
Bye for reals Alon! Hate having ghosts around on a big lot.
Minnesota follows soon after...
Quicker obituary: 4th child of 8 with Cadillac and Derek. Twin sister of Michigan. First generation to break the alternating gender that had been going on. She joins her husband in the sims afterlife. She leaves behind 3 surviving children and 4 grandchildren.
Everybody deals with grief a little differently...there's crying and anger,
In the case of our gen 7 heir she goes and enters a food competition.
Can she beat a professional-adjacent chef and other talented amateur cooks?
Apparently yes!
Poor Verdigris really tired out from all the noogies and he crashes over to the Austens place and promptly sleeps in the food.
Jokes it's school time - Aureolin!
Coquelicot,
and Chartreuse!
Verdigris after missing school and slept in salmon the whole day: huh what happened?
Ey Harlequin is here!
Maybe Verdigris's noogie sense are tingling.
My two heirs side to side. You can see the not so subtle differences between their looks.
Fwends!
I really like taking photos of dinners - doesn't come across in my posts, but families rarely eat together in the game.
Our chilling after school with classmate (and distant cousin) Razzmatazz.
Jamming at home - yet another addtion to their gold plagues.
Coincidentally, Robin does some commodity market research. Maybe those plaques are worth something...
She gets distracted and has a cute hug with her husband.
Time for them to grow old together.
Rayquaza clearly aged with those clothes but his hair didn't get the memo...
There, better!
Ok they didn't grow old 'together' but on the same day at least?
Yay!
The mirror is not correct and is actually so creepy...
Poker fest downstairs.
Alright Aureolin time to grow up!
Now that she's an adult she will be joining others (like Magnolia) in the next challenge!
The hair is so wishy
Time to move out - bye!
Coquelicot killing it on the instruments!
Biggest lost I've ever seen...but long term the Austens are filthly rich.
Chartreuse grows into an adult too, with a more greenish hair (the colour can be either yellow or green, decided to stick with green)
Chartreuse laments not going to college, but the next adventure will hopefully be fun!
That leaves just Coquelicot, who you will see next in college.
New family tree up! Will fill in photos later.
