Laurince Legacy, Generation 15.2!
(aka Generation 11 of the Delines, if you were following that)
Last time, whore Neville Laurince was declared generation 15 heir of his legacy, and he married whore Noelle Deline, which made her generation 10 heir of her legacy. As Noelle had gotten pregnant while they were in college, birthing was imminent. Of course she gave birth to twin girls, Olivia and Ophelia. Ronan lost his awesome pirate career level by getting a promotion. (On the other hand, Miriam got a job in the Paranormal career and became a cult leader, her second LTW.) Olivia and Ophelia became adorable toddlers who looked nothing alike. Noelle and Neville had another child, another daughter named Orchid. Several family members were invited over for Olivia and Ophelia's child birthday party, notable because the horrible college Jenna-plague flu got spread back into the main household. Orchid was so noisy at the party that cops were called.
This shot is nice. The composition. The colors. Too bad it's just displaying the girls' horrible love of jumping in puddles after they create them.
Yes, Ophelia really is that hyper. Full Active/Outgoing on both the twins.
In case you were wondering, Daryl still thinks Leeta is hot.
They are trying for a boy. I really wanted an Olympiodoros Laurince the 2nd. I believe their wealth and longevity can allow for silly appended names.
CHANNEL THAT ENERGY PRODUCTIVELY, GIRL
They both rolled wants to skill, surprisingly enough.
Oh, and half the house has the flu now FUCK YOU JENNA
FOREVER
So, it's Sunday and the girls should be in private school, right?
WRONG.
The Headmaster seriously just up and disappeared after this. I don't mean he scurried off, with his apologies or something lame and sensical like that. This was after Neville offered the tour, Neville walked into the house, and the headmaster? Fucking gone.
I guess that's a no.
Ronan immediately realized that we wouldn't require the catfish platter in the fridge, so he made this autonomously.
Yes, I have a hack forcing them to eat leftovers before making new food, but Ronan is ~special~.
It's Orchid's birthday~
Oooh, all these sparkles. The headmaster is missing QUITE a show.
Woohoo, simultaneously they both have horrible hair!
(I think I need to remedy their hairs' lack of elder grays.)
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, a unique face for Orchid~
A single child (for once) means the same amount of toddler spam, centered on just Orchid!
Ronan, a dapper older gentleman.
I did not know Miriam's eyes could possible get any bigger than they already were, but there you go!
Orchid has fun eyebrows. Also, her father's eyes and her mother's nose, if you were wondering.
Let's get you out of here before he makes you try a grilled cheese sandwich!
Yes, there will be time enough for that once she's old enough for me to send her to the fridge for leftovers.
Aw, now that's cute. I think Neville missed out on the toddlerhood of the twins a bit, with crazy early military hours.
Dear god, do try and avoid shoving your arm into the masonry, Nev!
Leeta?
Yes, dear?
I hate our son-in-law.
Yes, dear, I know. Try not to say that while he's nearby, though.
I think the antipathy is mutual, Daryl.
I have to get up early again why?
It's your first day of school, Olivia! How exciting!
Then she rolled over and went back to sleep. They'll do that, sometimes, when the bottom bunk occupant is blocking the ladder. It mimicks a snooze alarm pushing, though, which amuses me.
Noelle, you just totally missed the toilet there.
Okay. This is BULLSHIT.
How the hell is the music career half AWESOME OUTFITS and half UGLIEST BASEGAME OUTFITS EVER?
What. the. hell.
And in what planet does one have to be promoted to an ASTRONAUT before they can be a general?
Now, this is cute. The twins brought home twins to play with! Max and Marko Laurince...the spawn of Link Laurince and Rosie the Servo.
No, really, she managed it somehow. Through magic and MPREG. They have her eyes, so you know it's true.
It is so hard to capture this in a still image, but Ophelia was doing that whole hunched-shoulders, "why are you making me do this I hate you forever" animation all the way up the stairs.
Honey, if you feel like that while putting your homework away, how are you going to survive completing it?!
And Olivia has the PLAGUE. :(
Are you sure you don't want to play red hands?
...no. I feel like I'm gonna die.
Ah, it looks like Miriam managed to convince the headmaster to enter the house this time. We're already doing better than yesterday!
MY PROMOTION IS NOT IMPORTANT
I AM EXPANDING LIKE A POP-UP TRAILER WTF
Yes, my sims sometimes capslock like me. You don't know!
We finally get real-homecooked meal instead of grilled cheese and you have a bowl of fucking MACARONI, Neville?
Um, I like macaroni. And I never get it, either.
Just finish it before that stuck-up principal sees it. Or you. We don't want a repeat of yesterday, do we?
ILU Daryl.
This may or may have not been Ronan's planned absence from the important non-GC dinner on the rest of his family's part.
His queue may say he's examining the throw blanket, but his thought bubble reinforces all of our stalking suspicions.
I'm so glad you watch Rifftrax movies with me, great-grandpa Daryl. They're almost as mean as you are!
What the hell is this thing floating above my head?
He's either getting senile or lucid. The kids got into private school, by the way. Even if tonight's dinner was chicken fried steak instead of catfish.
Hyperactivity strikes again.
Oh, I want to do a dance party with you, Grandma!
Strike a pose! Vogue!
Her queue said join. Miriam just stood there like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your BOOTY!
Thanks, Olivia.
Ophelia has her sister beat on faces, though--
HER UI PORTRAIT IS ABOUT READY TO BURST INTO LAUGHTER
It's a static capture, how
Orchid is very seriously contemplating her xylophone.
Daryl's home and helps with the skillination.
SATAN is blackmailing the household again. :(
And I hope that we have someone in this household into girls, because this one is very pretty.
Mom, Dad? ...I thought you always told me not to play ball in the house.
Miriam, just leave us old folks alone.
Dad, I need to get in the fridge. Ronan said he made me a sandwich.
Why is Noelle outside to pop?
To get in the Camaro I bought for her just to go to work today.
Why? Because she's got several days scheduled off after this, and she's one promotion away from Rock God.
Hi, Mom, I'm home!
...Neville, your mother is behind you. That's Ophelia on the school bus.
Miriam, surprisingly, rolls more wants involving the children than either one of their parents do. Or both of them combined. Ergo, fulfilling a Miriam want.
Not that she needs it, being platinum twice-over.
What? Marko, just tell your robot mother that the most logical course of action is to attend the most prestigious school. Or attend with your family. Don't whine to me to go back to public school. People throw desks there!
Welp, that's the face of a crazy cult leader if I ever saw one.
Since Miriam has become an elder, she does that broken neck lean that I thought was specific to teens. You know what this means, right? She's out of balance without her giant braid poof hair.
I don't care what grandma says, Dad, I'm sure I inherited something good from you!
I don't know if Leeta is perceptive, mean, or just got caught complaining about something that Daryl actually said.
WOOHOO PERMA-PLAT
Aw, don't get abducted, Ronan. You can't have alien babies. :(
Why won't people on the internet believe I'm an astronaut or that I've been in a rocket ship? They just ask me if I've ever been to Pigfarts. On Mars. I didn't even think we'd been to Mars, let alone established schools there!
Noelle gets along with Ronan, but she gets along with everybody.
Even with angry old men who hurl projectiles at her heavily-pregnant abdomen!
I'm sure Leeta doesn't need companionship while she's unconsciou--
Oh, it's not like he's going to change at this point in his life.
With a LTW of making money, this just means it's time to switch careers.
Okay, moment of truth...
...what will we get?
TWIN FUCKING GIRLS
I CHANGE MY MIND
FUCK YOU DELINE LEGACY
Two babies means Neville loves Noelle twice over?
Scraping the bottom of the O names barrel, here's Olympe, with darkish skin, blonde hair, and Noelle's eyes.
Here's Oriole, tan skin, red hair, and eyes from Genesis, Noelle's mother.
No more kids. How could I possibly name any more girls without using variations of ones I already used? Or naming them after random objects?
Oven Laurince has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Ain't happening.
Even in his love of moar babies, Daryl hates his son-in-law. I promise you that's what's in the bubble behind Olympe's head.
Well, my mom let us transfer to your school! But I still can't convince her to let us have a fishtank. Something about ruining her circuits cleaning it. I told her we'd do it, but she said her programming would not allow her to only clean of the things in the house and not others.
Another birthday for Orchid!
I can reach my own cake this time! :D
...Orchid is intense.
Daryl. You are NOT having another grandchild. You have several spread out amongst several families and several centuries.
Miriam still loves her parents. She has issues with the worksmanship of their portraits, though, apparently.
Ophelia, one of our baby sisters is named after a BIRD!
You know, one of my biggest regrets is not becoming an astronaut myself. I could've seen the planet that my grandfather's pollinator came from... Not to mention, it would make a great tale for roping in more followers.
Aw, don't let the cult heading fool you, Miriam is a great sweet old grandmother.
What is with your family and rocket ships?
Yeah, well the other girls just got in, no reason to invite back finicky headmaster for Orchid to go to that school, too.
Ronan looks so pathetic here. :( :(
I can't really blame Daryl, at least not totally. Ronan really would be the nitemare son-in-law.
You have a brilliant daughter, goes off to college, comes home with her "off" teenage sweetheart still in tow.
...I don't know if being enemies with him is the best idea, though.
I don't believe he actually goes to our school. I think he sneaks on the bus just to go home with my sisters.
Stranger things have happened in this family.
Miriam is sitting in my favorite part of the house again...the top front balcony.
Neville gets to the top of a career where he'd make 5,000 a shift. I don't know whether to keep him there or find another job.
He also brought home Felix, husband of Gen 11 co-heir, Kiki.
Again, Miri doing tedious things because she wanted to. She also wants very badly for Orchid to get an A+ and for Olivia and Ophelia to grow up well.
Damn, what did Neville do to Max and Marko to make them simultaneously leave? (Sure, it was 6pm, but look at them!)
Time for Olympe and Oriole's birthday!
Here's Olympe...
Neville, in case you were wondering, is still a whore. Even for his great-great-uncle.
...and there's Oriole.
Orchid and Neville still have storytime. This time, it's in the worst place in the house!
Age check...Leeta and Daryl are both 78. (Well, we all know Daryl's actual age is much higher, but yeah.)
Their bars still have a bit left to them. Wouldn't it be ironic if Daryl ends up being one of my longest-lived sims ON TOP OF the mystical immortality he had before he moved in?
I'm glad you want to do these things, Miriam, but the kids should spend some time with their parents.
Well, the kids seem to be enjoying grandma-learning time, too...
You were a wonderful addition to our family, Noelle, unlike our son-in-law--
DARYL!
--sorry. What I meant to say was that out of all of my in-laws who actually live with us, you are my favorite.
Complain all you want about having a robot mother. I have to live with insane grandparents and insane great-grandparents!
Rock. God. UNF.
...contrary to what this shot may insinuate, Ronan is happy because someone just took out a grilled cheese that he cooked and bit into it.
It has nothing to do with being naked with his wife and her suggestion that something get "rubbed the right way."
And then after you get several scholarships, you'll graduate Summa Cum Laude and have a high-paying career!
...I'm going to concentrate on the Geography test I have tomorrow, first, okay Dad?
...I hate you all.
Don't let this feel-good snap trick you into thinking Ophelia is somehow less annoying than her sisters. It was her in shot one of this update, after all!
MOM!
Oh hush, I'm not going to hurt your husband.
It's fine, honey, it's just a game we like to--
MOM YOU HAVE MY ARM. LET GO.
You better, Leeta, or she won't be able to enjoy the tasty grilled cheese I left for her in the refrigerator~~
Who the hell would save leftover grilled cheese sandwiches? Seriously.
Ronan does.
That's right! When the girls woke up, all refreshed, I made them all go mop up all the puddles in the damn house.
It's almost a shame he had to sell his painting. I'm sure the fact that it was a masterpiece worth about ~600 made him happier than my love of the cute painting, though.
This is amazing. Even though Miriam had more wants, their parents both had the afternoon off, and spent it with their youngest.
But I would be your best friend forever!
Olivia, look, even if I "let you use castling after the first turn," it wouldn't help you now! You'd go into check.
...oh. Didn't you just put me in check now?
You're not ALLOWED to do it to YOURSELF.
...you know what? I don't care, this just looks kinda creepy Ronan.
Yes, Orchid. Eat the sandwich. Taste the goodness of the CHEEEEESE.
The younger twins, being quite occupied, missed the party.
What party, you say?
MOAR BIRTHDAYS
Ah good, you both aged into outfits that suit your hair color and complexions horribly. Hoo-rah.
Olivia is a Knowledge sim with a pretty interesting LTW.
And Ophelia is a Romance sim. ...so, she's going to run more of a David Koresh-style cult and less of a Heaven's Gate type cult, then?
Olivia, surprisingly, is the bi sim of the two. Must be intellectual curiosity?
Here's their makeovers. I didn't think Ophelia seemed quite the smutty clothing type, given her wants.
On the other hand, I think Olivia's excessive outgoingness meant she deserved to get out of the collar-and-pullover-sweater look she had before.
So, I read the greatest book the other day--
I think I'm done with books now, Liv.
What?!
Yeah, I mean I've discovered all you have to do is get a whole group of people under control with your own belief system and they'll just give you anything you could ever want!
Ophelia, honey, that sort of behavior is morally questionable at best, and I don't think it's an appropriate means to an end, let alone goal--
But it works for Grandma!
...yeah, you just have fun with that, dear.
I'd make some joke about "who's seriously skilling now," but Ophelia already has an athletic scholarship AND she's probably aiming for one in pool. Pool sharking and cult leading have to have some sort of skillset overlap, right?

- Fun update! YAAAAAAAAAAY
- You have less than 24 hours to get your votes in for the Deline Reader's Choice Poll because I'm going to post the results post tomorrow. Since I put off writing this update, I have no time to do it until then. :P
- Probably Borks next to sort-of comply with the rules of VDS and stuff, though I am moving slowly generation-wise because of all the damn kids. Plus, we need a quickie update to take us to an heir poll so we can play Uni!
- Still may be an unspecified amount of time til the next update, depending on how much more I do for my Christmas in July recipient. I do, at least, have something to give at this point, so there will be no deadline-hair-tearing! :D
