Deline Legacy, Generation 9.3!
So last time, we managed to have five simultaneous toddlers. Luckily, it was only for one day, and then Dirk and Delilah became children. Leia found that she was pregnant again, despite not being thrilled by the idea when Delilah had mentioned wanting another sibling. Luckily, the triplets (Aurora, Orion, and Perseid) became children soon after that. A burglar visited the Deline residence, stole nothing, got chased around by Demon Cop, and got away. HHHE paid a visit to the house and the five children got into private school. They all liked to bring home kids from the Moores', two houses down the street from them. Leia gave birth to the last kid of Generation 9, a boy named Dylan. Kati dated Viktor, the one person of her 50 first dates that she actually fell in love with. Dylan became a toddler, and the whole household was snowed in. Kati threw a big bash for the twins' birthday, even inviting their insane grandfather. Dirk became a Popularity sim with the LTW to own 5 top-level businesses, and Delilah became a Family sim who wanted to reach the top of the Education career. Demon Cop then broke up the party, probably because he was jealous of Erik banging Leia in the photobooth.
These two look an awfully lot alike. Also, this is the last time you will see Dylan as a toddler.
I let Delilah and Dirk avail themselves of the magic crystal ball in the garage, and this is Delilah's top pick. He's a victim of skin deletion, so imagine him being about S4 darkness. Excellent for diversity in our final generation...
And here's Dirk's top pick. I think she's got the same skin as a couple of Kati's sisters, so it's kinda making me uncomfortable in the resemblance.
There's still like five feet of snow on the ground, and Perseid still is too hardcore to be affected by the cold. Leia shouldn't be encouraging her.
Look at the top right shot. Doesn't Delilah look evil?
Speaking of "evil," Dirk wants to sneak out with his pal Caranír Moore.
Perseid has gotten herself frostbitten. Though it's rather hard to tell with the blue on top of blueish-green.
Dirk's not taking photos. He's autonomously nailing vague-family-resemblance-lady.
Your thermometer is still in the blue, and you...want to go swimming?!
Someone (Kati) has become friends with Hot Maid #2! Let's see how he gets on...
So, I bet you like my bust.
Uh...I...is that even a question I can legally answer?
Oh, don't play shy with me!
Oh, fine. I prefer a woman with real curves.
So, to nab this fine maid, I have to fatten up the girls and pray that it's the only chemistry issue at hand. It's like my game doesn't want me to marry in hot maids!
For some reason, Dirk could encourage Perseid, and he encouraged neatness. Now she's an OCD Polar Bear. Thanks, Dirk!
AHAHAHAHAHA MAGIC CAMERA
For those of you not also following my round of the Moore Round Robin, since both sets of kids keep bringing each other home, I had a perfect opportunity for Miranda Moore (who is technically Leia's niece and Delilah's first cousin) to give Delilah her camera career reward.
It's okay. I'm patient. I know you want to kiss me, but you're just paranoid.
Look, Deliliah, I'm pretty sure he was being straight up with the you being too skinny for him thing.
I know this coupling only came to pass because of the insane chemistry, but could you two maybe give it a rest for a little while. For once?
NO.
Shut up, Erik.
You'll pick me up? But we've got plenty of cars to spare, no one will notice. Your mom might notice if you take her-- Okay. I'll wait for you.
I'm concerned with where Caranír appropriated a limo, as the family was still strapped for cash at this point.
If the only person you have to sneak past is your sister's stalkery date, you're golden.
I'm still not sure if RC cars are kosher, so into Delilah's inventory it goes~
I know there's specific animations in the game, but why would you pick up your other teenage friend in a limo, and why would you sit in the very back of a limo that your good friend is driving?
Kati will be quarantined for a good while. I don't need 11 sims sick with the flu.
DEMON COP
ALWAYS SPOILING OUR FUN
NOT CATCHING CRIMINALS
I don't think Dirk's "misbehavior" had much, if anything, to do with his grandma.
That woman is crazy. She went with half the town's population!
Only in the very broadest sense of the term. After all, she never touched you!
Demon Cop then proceeds to inform the garage door about how much of a delinquent Dirk is.
My life is over! I'm going to go to prison!
Of course you aren't! Demon cop can't actually apprehend someone who deserves it!
Great, the weekend again. All the kids stuck at home. Again.
I invited him back over again. I think this is it. This is the man I'm going to marry.
This is going to be your second date! Who do you think you are, Grace Laurince?
Hello, Miss Delilah, don't mind me, just taking out the trash!
Sure, our maid would never spy on the family.
The elders' life bars are all getting really full, despite them not being old, which gives me hints that one of them is probably going to die soon. Laci's a former townie, so I hedge my bets and have her transfer ownership of the Hoopla nightclub, plus some of her business perks to Erik.
Come on, it couldn't have been that much of a surprise once you figured out where she was taking you?
Why am I swimming when there's still snow on the ground, again?
No, Orion hasn't completely lost it...
I see you surrepticiously putting your clothes back on, but I know this was all your doing, Perseid! Wintertime is fire time and hot cocoa time, not sprinkler and swimming pool time!
So, Dirk, are you getting ready to pop the question yet? I remember young love...
Aunt Marta. I'm sixteen. I don't even officially have a girlfriend yet.
...is that a no, then?
OF COURSE.
...I just love megabirthdays.
A little out of order of informing you, but here's the triplets' preferences.
Here are their aspirations and LTWs. Orion doesn't have a shot in hell, Aurora's is kinda fun, and Perseid's sounds like a job, but is quite easy.
Since Kati met so many people, I knew she had a lot of BFs, and I checked right here and she had thirty.
Aurora's makeover.
Here's Orion.
Aaaand Perseid! Good news/bad news. Aurora and Orion are like PT clones and have no shot at being heir. Perseid looks different from them and her PT father, so she's actually got a shot at heir.
OH MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO DYLAN?!
The same thing that happened to you five minutes ago, Orion.
I don't know if Dylan is a little different looking than Dirk, or if it's the skin. We'll have to keep an eye on it.
Sure, kill all of my hopes and dreams regarding the maids and Gen 10's creation right here.
If my Romance teens are going to insist on growing up into the miniskirts with the fishnets, I'm going to keep them in them.
Kati was still under quarantine at this point, but she gets over it not too long after this.
Orion's a big jerk who wants nothing to do with his little brother. GRRR.
Perseid starts making phone calls. If you pay any sort of attention to it, this LTW is achievable in college. (Or earlier, but I'm meaning without much extra effort.)
It's finally spring, so the sane kids are finally handling water in the outdoors. Aurora's a good big sis, too.
Sometimes, I get worried about Aurora, though.
Why's that?
...oh. Well, maybe she's a little overenthusiastic about some things...
Oh good, I was trying to remember the last time I had a teen who abused the bar.
God, are you trying to make me all weepy and regretful about not using the maid to father Generation 8? D:
Aurora? Hasn't used the bar. Just continuing to have troubles with her spatial reasoning, apparently.
Look at Perseid, playing doll--
Action figures.
Sorry Dylan. She's playing ACTION FIGURES with him. (They are all male dolls, after all!)
I never noticed before that the ceiling of the school bus is too short for the teens to actually stand up in.
Hey! Why don't I get a funny suit to wear to school, too?
I might have forgotten to invite over HHHE in the gigantic birthday excitement. No matter. It'll be good for him to be able to have three teen girls to entertain him tonight, right?
TEM!
Kati greets him, and is repulsed by his attempt to tickle her.
Are you trying to make me look foolish in front of the help? Who I've fucked?!
Uh...
I swear to god, all the townies in the neighborhood that I really wanted in the family are just taunting me now. Not that the kids' prospects are bad, they're just not the ones I've been secretly wishing for all these generations.
What do you mean, "act my age"? Then people might actually be able to figure out what it is!
Sage advice from Kati Deline, folks.
I don't know if she's laughing at the almost-bullseye, the dart in the wall, or the juxtaposition of the two of them. Tem throws darts like I play pool.
Welp, no one came home from school with the teens, so let's get some dating in for the triplets!
Perseid's...crystal ball match, has a few weird things about him. He'll clean up nice, though.
Don't you like milkshakes?
Why would I like a milkshake?!
Aren't they cold?
Oh...yeah.
So do you like them?
...I guess?
Hee, he's nice and goofy looking.
Yeah, townie in stupid outfit. Not for you.
Oh no, HHHE is developing a paunch from all these delicious dinners out about the town!
Perseid's goofy date has a greeeeaaaat profile!
Of course, she had to go and ruin things by doing this.
I think HHHE is just really, really into his food. The girls didn't even get much of a chance to talk to him!
Wow, a morning wave and they're best friends! Well, that's another notch in the count for Perseid, I guess.
This is going to be so great, Dirk. With my twintuition, I'll be able to read every tell, call all your bluffs--
Delilah? That goes both ways. We're BOTH twins.
...shut up.
Today one of the kids brings home...Blane Deline!
(You all go...who?!)
He's Zuri Deline's Uni baby that she had with her boyfriend Raiden.
Why on earth would you hit be. With a pillow. In front of the SCHOOL BUS?! IN BY NOSE?!?!
Aurora, I didn't--it was just--
And Perseid's just watching it all with a smug grin on her face. Because she is besties with Aurora, after all~
Aurora tries to impress me by getting HPV from the magic crystal ball. Who you may remember had a slight thing for Leia, Aurora's sort-of surrogate mother.
Delilah gets rejected for a date with...the cute brown-haired dude from last update. :[
Leia just came in and supervised Dylan's homework session...
...then read him a story. After the kinda half-ignored toddlerhood he got, I'm glad to see the adults paying attention to him.
It's not that Perseid and Delilah et al haven't gotten first kisses...they just didn't get official ones, so no fancy pictures.
I wonder, what it would be like to live next to sibling cult leaders who come home at 3am and pillow fight in their white jumpsuits on the front lawn?
Speaking of the elders, this is the combined career rewards of Laci (Rock God Guitar, Entertainment Podium, Fireman Pinball, Business Putt-putt), Kati (Adventurer Pinball, Resurrecto-thingie), and Marta (Science Lab-thing, Resurrecto-thingie). HOLY CRAP.
(It's all in Erik's inventory.)
How would he like it if I spied on him and HIS wife kissing?
I doubt he would care, given how those two act around each other.
But...it's his sister-in-law!
Hey, as long as it's not his sister, I don't care, either!
FAMILY KISSING SHOULDN'T FULFILL KISSING WANTS
I KEEP SAYING IT
SOMEDAY IT WILL WORK
NO NO NO NO NONONONONO
KATI
Dying at 7:30am! Why Kati, I thought it was going to be Laci first.
She wasn't even that old. :(
THIRTY ONE PEOPLE, BITCHES
Kati was only 75. :(
(After 6pm that day, both Marta and Laci's bars gained a lot of empty space. :/)
Oh well.
Live Hard, Party Harder?
The only person really affected was Marta. I mean, I know Kati wasn't the best mother, but she was a good grandma...
Perseid brings home Daeiel Moore (yay for more friends!), but it seems like Dirk's the one who's focused on her.
Oookay, I guess I spoke too soon. Hope there isn't a feud brewing or anything.
Oh go away. I have no regrets not getting YOU in this legacy, Mr. "I Makeout with Work Buddies in Front of Their Spouses"!
Not pictured is the townie girl who tried to come home with Dylan the day before. Kid's got game!
We get Jesse back in front of Delilah, finally. (And his eyes are fixed.)
I remember that she really liked him.
Aw, what a nice mother-son bond they have going. *sniffle*
Uh...dude. She disgusts you that much?
His turn-off is beards.
Delilah, as a blonde, shouldn't even have visible stray hairs anywhere on her face.
What wrong, Leia?
I never got to have anything fun when I was a kid.
Look, Gen 2 of a legacy is always hard.
It's not fair!
You get to have all that stuff now!
I think she's jealous of all the stuff the kids have to do with their friends.
Well, he likes bathing suits so time to get half-naked, Dels.
Dirk is a ~maestro~ at autonomously banging women.
It's always nice when a ploy to get hook a guy's interest baffles the ROMANCE sims in the room.
Aaaand Dirk's FIRST conquest is making sure that he doesn't forget her. Unfortunately for her? Sex = Love for Dirk and Daeiel. Oh, the irony.
---------------------------------------------------------
I hope it wasn't too disjointed. There were a couple of days where I didn't take thaaaat many pictures. I couldn't believe Kati died so young, it was a terrible surprise. I was actually disappointed, in a way, that it wasn't Laci, because I technically got to have her around quite a bit longer than I did Kati. *makes face*
The Moores continue to remain intertwined with this generation of the Delines. I think a lot of it has to do with the densely packed groups of kids at the same ages, as well as the lots being so close together in the game. Oops. If you want to see some of the Deline kids' off-lot adventures, I'd check out the last couple of Moore updates.
Also, I have the FINAL Moore update upcoming! It's a liiiiiiittle bit longer than normal, mainly because I only had to play a little while longer to get the full extent of the generation, so I just did. No point in breaking it up past that. And, I promise, lots of great things happen in it! And then there's an heir vote to see who goes to teffielynne, so that should be in the next couple of days. :D
