The Harrington Legacy: Generation 3: Chapter 4
A/N: A wild Rachel has appeared, along with a Harrington update! I know that this is totally out of the blue, but I was talking to simsaholic earlier today about why I wasn't posting, and it made me realize how much I REALLY WANTED TO BE PLAYING SIMS AGAIN. So here is--copied-and-pasted from our conversation--the reason why I haven't been here: "I've been trying to get my game working on a different computer, but even when I have the graphics up to the way they were on the old one, it still looks crappy for some reason. I've tried playing with with bad graphics before, and I'm okay with it for a while but I just can't seem to get into the game as much when the graphics aren't as good. :/" So, I partly sucked it up and dealt with the graphics problems and partly fixed the graphics so they're a bit better. They're not as pretty as they used to be, but it'll have to do. Actually, they're really good except for the sims' skin. It looks weird sometimes, whether I'm using default replacements or not. Oh yeah, that's another thing! Try to ignore the weird changes in houses, towns, skins, outfits, etc. throughout the chapter. I was switching computers and towns and messing around with the graphics and all, so this chapter is going to be a bumpy ride, so to speak. Towards the end, I got kcrockssims 's house to work again, and it was the original winner of the house submissions, so yaay! Wow, I'm really rambling now. Let's get this party started!
WARNING: PGish for swearing and ~references~ and all that jazz.
Previously on The Harrington Legacy, the twins became children, Archie got ignored a lot, and Deidre was born. She's cute. And has awesome eyes.
Missed something this generation?

Chapter 3
Hey Felicia!
Felicia: SHHH, I'm concentrating, can't you see that?
DEVON!! I missed you!
Devon: I'm trying to do my homework, woman! Go mess with Dakota.
Dakota: Excuse me, Dev, but I'm trying to focus as well. I don't need some voice in my brain right now.
Oh, WELL THEN. I just figured that since I've been gone forever and you guys have been frozen in the same positions for quite a long time, that you might give me a warm welcome.
But I guess you all are just sort of continuing with your lives as if nothing ever happened...
Halie: GRAAAAGH, I SHALL TROD UPON THIS SMALL CHILD!
Yeah.
Regulus: Oh, Archie, did Grammy step on you? Here, sit on this potty here...you can poop the pain away.
Devon: What are you looking at? You think I'm weird, just because I don't go to school fully clothed? Like all the kids and teachers think? Are you going to stick me in detention for not following the dress code?
Nope. You're perfectly normal for this household.
Regulus: AHA, YES! HE POOPED! I CAN SMELL IT! OH, GLORIOUS POOP!
...See what I mean?
Archer: I can't bewieve we's rewated.
Deidre: ESCOOZ ME! YOU HABEN'T MENTWIONED ME ONCE DIS CWAPTER!
You know, I haven't mentioned your Grandpa either. Calm down, missy.
Deidre: Otay. As wong as you buiwd a twemple in da fwont yawd in my honow.
Yeah, no.
Dakota: You don't even remember why you took this screenshot, do you?
Well...no.
Dakota: I'm just going to read this book, then.
Look, Marcus made grilled cheese!
Marcus: And now you're just going to shift the attention away from me again, right?
Yeah.
Deidre: Awe you being ignowed, too?
Archer: Yeah, but at weast I's not stuck in a cwib!
Deidre: Now dat was just cowd.
Archer: Nice bwuttt, dadeeh.
Dakota: So, mom told me that we should try to bond because we spent 9 months in her womb together, but I can't see anything in common between us, and I think you're a psycho and kind of an idiot.
Devon: I like fish.
Dakota: ++
And suddenly...birthday cakes.
For the spouses of generations 2 & 3!
Marcus: Oh man, I totally CANNOT wait to be young and hot again! I mean, younger and hotter. Because I'm already super young and hot.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you're not getting younger.
Marcus: Wait, what? You could have told me that before I blew out the candles!
Marcus: Ta..daa???
You work that oldie swag, boy.
BTW, you aren't getting younger either.
Felicia: Ha, at least I'm not going to look like a raisin in an ugly shirt!
Well, the shirt isn't ugly...
Dakota: HAR HAR HAR, Mommy's a raisin!
Here's Felicia as an adult...she's not that bad, but it's disappointing compared to how well Halie and Marcus turned out as adults.
And Oldie!Marcus...he's so cute :3
Marcus: I am NOT cute!
Regulus: Mmhhm, over here struttin' my young adult ass! I bet ya'll old people are jealous of my young adult ass, so I'm over here struttin' my young adult ass, but I'm not passin' gas...
Regulus Harrington, everybody.
Regulus: And I'm playin' this bass with my young adult ass...pretend that bass sounds like it's spelled so it rhymes with ass...mmhm yeah, my young adult ass.
That's enough for now, Reggie.
Regulus: But waait, I need someone to harmonize with me for this last part!
No, you don't.
OH DUDE, WHAT, MORE BIRTHDAYS?
Marcus: Yay, kid-who's-name-I-don't-know-because-nobody-ever-pays-attention-to-you, it's your birthday!
Archer: Sheewww!
Marcus: Yeah, shew and all that.
Halie: EVILEVILEVIL BE EVIL!
Jesus, that is terrifying.
Archer: I can't see my eyebrows!
Dakota: Did I miss something?
Archer: Hey ladies, if you're interested in a younger man, then I've got the perfect guy for you...ME! You see, I'm hot shit, and I know you all want me in your beds.
You're like, five, that's disgusting. Only pedos would want you in their bed.
And for some reason...
both of the twins are just kind of standing around different parts of town...okay, um, why?
Devon: I'm taking a shit behind this column, don't tell anyone!
Oh no, Dev. Oh no, no, no. We don't shit behind columns around public buildings. That's not proper etiquette.
Okay, so this is the weird part. I moved the Harringtons back to Sunset Valley on the old computer, which crashed. This is a picture of the Harringtons' house from THAT save file. I'm not going into the long story of what happened after that, but the Harringtons live on a different lot than this one, and in kcrockssims 's house submission on the OTHER computer that I'm using now. There's also a day-long time somewhere in with all the moving, so yeah.
Dakota: Oh wow, that felt weird. One second, I'm doing my homework on the sidewalk in the middle of Bridgeport at night--which is, by the way, totally the best way to stay away from kidnappers and sexual predators-- and now it's daytime in Sunset Valley and I live in this other house. Oh, and my dad and baby sister are bald. And my shirt changed.
Long story.
Dev kept on rolling the want to learn the writing skill, so I gave in and let her do it. She's now writing a book titled "What to Do When a Unicorn Stalks You".
Archer: Hmph. Chess.
Felicia: FOOTBALL, YEEAH BUDDY!
Marcus: I'm just going to stand here and hammer this stove and make it sparkle until it gets magical fireproof powers.
Have fun.
Halie: Alright, Grammy's going to teach you how to walk, and try to resist the impulse to trip you while you're learning. Ready?
Deidre: Otay, I gwess!
Deidre: AHHH! I's doin' it!
Halie: That was a super good job, Deedee! Do you wanna try again?
Deidre: Uh-huh!
HALIE HAS A HUGE SOFT SPOT FOR TODDLERS.
Archer Harrington. What? Just...what?
Archer: I'm standing in the nursery in my underwear, hoodie, and sneakers and sniffing the baby potties to get attention. Duh.
Well. Okay.
How are you even doing homework? None of the other kids have any, and you don't need to do it anyways because your birthday is before you have school again.
Dakota: But I have to be a genius. I have to be the GENIUSEST of genius-y geniuses. Part of my training is 24/7 homework.
I just needed this screenshot here...OHMYGOD SO CUTE.
Are you trying to get attention again?
Archer: No, I'm just watching TV. In my underwear.
Right.
Marcus: *grumblegrumble* Rotten bullshit in the fridge...only lived here for about 5 hours, how does that even happen?
Marcus: Screw this, I'm making macaroni.
Regulus: Oh, hey there! I'm not really sure who you are, but I think we might be related...do you live in this house? I swear I've seen you around in your underwear a couple of times...
Archer: I'm your son.
Regulus: Oh. Right. And what's that mean again?
Archer: You got your wife pregnant and I popped out of her vajoojoo.
OH, THE CUTE.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen...
Devon: ARCHIE IS IN MY WAY EVEN THOUGH HE'S TEN FEET AWAY FROM ME!
Marcus: Ohoho yes, the diamonds will be mine.
Archer: Wait...what?
Archer: ...I walk a lonely road. Why is it always me who's left out?
Dakota: Maybe it's because you're stinky and no girls will ever like you except for female flies, because they're attracted to smelly stuff!
Dakota: HE HE HE
Officially the most attractive sims screenshot ever taken.
Deidre: Hi!!
Omg, stop it with your adorableness. X3
Deidre: Hi, dadeeh. I just fought you shouwd know dat I'm not tiewd, no mattew what mahmee ow gwamma or gwampa towd you.
Regulus: I'm not putting you to bed...I just came to warn you..
Regulus: About the tickle monster attack!
Deidre: DADEEH, STAWP IT! DAT TICKLWES!
Regulus: Rachel, it was actually a distraction to get her to bed...but shh, don't tell her. It's a secret.
Dakota: Wait, why did you wake me up at four in the morning again?
HAAAPPY BIRRTHDAAY!
Devon: Yes, I won the race to the cake! This means that I get the presents from the birthday fairy, and free money, AND I get to be older than Dakota for like, a whole hour!
Dakota: She only won by two seconds. I'm going to kick her ass in the sexy contest, anyways.
Devon: SHHEEWW!
Halie: YEEAAH, GO, BE EVIL SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE YOU! WOOO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HALIE. We are not sacrificing anyone.
I'm not even going to try and figure out what's going on in this house anymore.
Devon: Look, the birthday fairy gave me boobs! And they're better than grandma's!
Halie: You wish.
Dakota: Well, despite the fact that this is really awkward because you're all crazy and in your underwear, I'm glad that you came to celebrate this special turning point in my life with me.
Dakota: And I know we all agree that I have just become super hot.
Umm...
and now, for the moment you've all been waiting for...
Archer: Uh, mom, this is kinda uncomfortable.OH RIGHT, the twins!
She's in her bikini because...she's...Devon. Her nose doesn't look that big out of CAS, don't worry. :P She's gorgeous, really! I still have no clue where the nose is from, because it's not quite as big as the Marcus/Regulus/Sirius/Lily nose, but it doesn't look like Felicia's, either. Maybe it's a mix? Anyways, Devon had Good Sense of Humor locked in, which is actually pretty awesome It goes really well with the rest of her traits.
And out of CAS...told you, she's STUNNING. I love her eye shape so much for some reason.
You guys...DAKOTA IS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL OKAY I SWEAR SHE IS ACTUALLY A PERFECT SET OF PIXELS. Okay, sorry about that. But yeah. She looks a lot like Felicia, but she obviously has the Marcus eyes and hair, and I dunno who's skintone. But omg omg she is so pretty <3 And she had Absent-Minded locked in, which makes no sense with the Genius trait, but okay.
DAMN YOU DAKOTA AND YOUR GOOD GENES. This is going to be a tough heir vote, I can tell.
Alright, that's all for now! I'm sorry for the slightly weird writing style, it always takes me a chapter or two to get back into the swing of things. And no, I have no idea what trait Archie got when he aged up, btw. I had to play through that birthday three times, and he got a different one each time, so. But tell me what you think of Archie as a kid, and the girls as teens! Also, the Harringtons one-year anniversary is on May 23rd..and we're still on gen. 3. Did you know that this generation has been going on since last August. WE'RE ONLY FOUR CHAPTERS IN.
