Final update for this generation, before we start properly on Generation 7! In continuation from 6.9 (6.8 for the Elizondos), this continues the lives of the Coopers, Elizondos, Thackerays and the Hertleins. Just realise there's a load of purple in the headers lol.
After this update it's back to sorting screenshots and making headers...good break from real life I suppose!
COOPER
Recap: The Coopers are one of the last remaining residents in the downtown complex. Sven and Xerneas Cooper, along with the their teenage daughters Olivine and Isabelline lead a relatively normal sim life.
Isabelline checking herself out and liking her new high school uniform!
She spends quality time with her sister although is very gullible.
Isabelline and Skobeloff, her childhood friend and ex neighbour, are kind of a thing now.
More quality time eating comfort foodand admiring how knowledgable her sister is.Skobeloff in the background just blowing bubbles.
I swear the parents exist and this is still a Gen 6 update....
....WELP.
To make ends meet now that there's a 25k shortfall, Xerneas consults the Genie.
And doing some DIY electrical work - rather be shocked by the bill than get shocked eh.
Still intact, still in love!
Not reason for this photo, just really liked her room - loaded with light (though I imagine in real life there would be blinds).
Sister hug in the morning!
Aaand it's time for Olivine to grow up.
Hello!
She will be joining the other adults in the next exciting thing.
The parents birthdays too...eh you've already seen them old in other updates.
Isabelline: Why am I the only one without a birthday and why am I the one with grey hair even though I'm the youngest :(
Hair fixed! Being old ain't gonna stop their woohooing
I barely mention this but Sven is an avid seamster (had to look that word up lol)
Random shot of Xerneas. I really like taking photos at the stair landing corner for some reason.
Another random photo. They don't really do much do they, pretty normal life.
Xerneas' brother comes to visit! He offers them to come live in the spacious Heller estate once the kids have all grown up and moved out.
A big smooch with the boyfriend before college. They will be going to college together!
Xerneas says bye!
Sven grabs all the veggies he's planted. He's got many hobbies!
And one last apartment party and a game of poker with the landlord and fellow tenants.
Extra recap from last chapter showing them settled in the Heller house, in one of the suites:
Happy home!
Sister-in-laws pumped to be living together.
Turned two bedrooms into one big suite - this is where Xerneas and Sven will reside!
ELIZONDO
Recap: Cinccino and Sylveon Elizondo and their 3 teenage triplets Quina, Aliza and Zinn moved back to Sylveon's childhood home, the home flower shop found by her parents Utah and Meredith. The new generation continues the family business.
Sylveon ain't giving any family discounts. First milking from her nephew, now her sister.
The three kids enjoy some grandma soup to keep the sickness away.
While grandma Meredith and grandpa Utah enjoy a drink now that the next gen is running the store.
Some good cashflow! Poor Aliza thrown into the deep end.
Quinacridone Magenta with super glowy hair...
Alizarin Crimson in the same spot.
Zinnwaldite Brown playing the drums.
Their cousins Lilac Thackeray and Razzmatazz Hertlein are over. Oh god the pink and purple.
The snapdragons add to the colour scheme with their pink mist. This is 4 of Utah's 5 female grandchildren (missing Golden Poppy).
Oikawa! This was the height of me obsessed with Haikyuu (which was easily 3-4 years ago, how old are these screenshots)
Zinn continuing his passion for music in the morning.
His sisters meanwhile have a fun dip in the pool before winter sets in.
Nishinoya!
When you're old you give no crap about spying on the neighbours and training each other how to do it.
Whoa the heavy snow came overnight.
The kids are happy! Yay a day off!
A day to work in the flowership more like. Zinn is in charge of restocking.
Aliza trying her best to imiate her mother's sale agression. She will get there!
And Quina mans the cash register.
The parents are still helping out! Cinccino who hasn't been seen this whole update.
Sylveon the overachiever business mogul is around of course. And Golden Poppy (final female grandchild) makes an appearance!
Nooo bye Meredith :( it's been a great life.
Photos from the college days. Things really come and go in the blink of an eye.
There's a healthy college fund between the three of them.
Sylveon and Cinccino's time to grow old.
Synchronised growing old! This rarely happens in my game.
I liked Cinccino's outfit enough, but Sylveon got a new outfit.
Pimped out their backyard a bit, landscaping always makes a difference!
Time for the teens to head off to college.
Bye bye!
THACKERAY
Recap: Artsy family Sunflora and Cecil and their twins Lilac and Verdigris live in one of my fav houses in the neighbourhood. Lilac is the ultimate girl next door with 3 boys crushing her, meawhile Verdigris seems to be the punching bag instead...
Lilac's got three boys vying for her - all Hellers too. Although not technically yet with Onyx..
Music mornings
Art afternoons
(this is all they bloody do)
Lilac brings boyfriend Cerulean over to noogie him as revenge for him noogie-ing Verdigris
Lilac: This is for my brother!!
Cerulean's sister Harlequin is also over, and their hair colours make a very nice gradient!
Romantic night on another deck.
Congrats to Cecil for reaching level 10 Architecture!
Sunflora, of course, has been top of her career since forever.
Yes as you can see art and music is ALL THEY DO.
WHAT IS THIS
Wow finally a totally random encounter and not from Summon Aliens!
The aliens, probably: Resistence is futile...come join us Verdigris...you got the hair for it
See ya later!
Meawhile the parents take a break from painting and just being lovey dovey (which is also all they do)
Ooo he's back
This is an accurate portrayal of me with real life all the time these days.
Don't think Verdigris wants thaaaat again but at least got a healthy scholarship out of it.
Ugh too cute.
As it happens for all sims, time to grow up. Make a wish!
uh oh the back pain for life now
Cecil still finds her beautiful.
Well a few days later it was time for him to grow up anyway.
Perhaps he's wishing for no back pain.
A celebratory drink to mark next chapter in life!
So apparently what they both wished for was to buy a car. If they want a car they need a new house (since street parking is not a thing)
So photos of the twins as they grew older.
Whoa over §900!
Given the fact that art is such a big part of their life I've removed the pool table and moved the entire art section down there.
So fun!
And more hot tub afterwards.
Admist all this, Verdigris and Lilac quietly leave for college.
HERTLEIN
Recap: slightly estranged pleasure/romance sims Staravia and Miles somehow made it through raising quadruplets to teenhood and bought a nice art deco (ish) house downtown.
STARAVIA. WAS RAISING QUADRUPLETS WITH A CHEATING HUSBAND NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU.
Skobeloff's gf is here for a sneaky midnight outing!
Parents are asleep, hurry up!
Skobeloff is not the one secretly out. Can't see here...but Razzmatazz is ready for a whirl with friend Magnolia (before she grew up).
The whilrling didn't last long. Razzmatazz got caught by the police!
Wow Skobeloff sneaking back in broad nightlight :S
He somehow manages to slip past while Staravia gives an angry lecture. I dunno how but he did!
After the crazy teamwork of caring for 4 kids at the same time, Staravia and Miles have largely made up. A random dance at dawn.
For for work.
I decided to give Golden Poppy a new aspiration....
...could you guess what it is?
A far cry from the sneaking out, Skobeloff and Isabelline go for a romantic dinner.
Meanwhile at home Maastricht Blue has taken a strong fancy on Magnolia.
The boys having a random hang out on the street. Magnolia decides to join.
Skobeloff doesn't particularly appreciate suddenly being left out of the convo.
After Skobeloff goes away, Maastricht makes his move.
Success! First kiss!
Skobeloff busies himself with learning some skills.
Maas learning how to fix the shower.
Razzmatazz cleans the toilet.
Golden Poppy makes food for herself
They are all set for adulthood!
But not before fooling around at the kids playground.
The parents keep to themselves - spontaneous pillow fight!
Another date night!
Alright wrapping this generation up. Birthday set up in the basement.
Yay happy elderhood!
A photobooth pic to commemorate.
And some fancy champagne.
More growing ups?
Yes every teen except Skobeloff will br growing up along with the other adults.
Bye! Skobeloff goes to college offscreen.
So all Gen 6s are elders.and Gen 7s are off to college/off to another thing. See you at 7.1 next time!
