Randolph Legacy, Generation 8.1!
pixel_trade, I'm lovin' it! Generation 6 spouse, Nathaniel, is by jenji_sims, and (though you may already know) Generation 7's spouse will officially be revealed in this post...
So, as you probably know if you visited LJ (or attempted to) last week, they were being DDoSed by folks who don't like Russian bloggers having freedom of speech. I decided to wait to upload pictures and write a huge post until the site was a wee bit more stable. I'm already most of the way into the next Magicakes update!
As for the Randolphs, last time it was revealed that our heir had been declared--Hyperion. We learned that his LTW, to make 100 grand, will be difficult but not outright impossible for an ISBI torchholder. Cassie Roberts (leenyland) moved in upstairs at the Randolphs' dormitory, and their chemistry along with her adorableness had me pretty set on our next spouse. The spares continued the family tradition of free-range underwear roaming. Rhea went completely insane from lack of grilled cheese despite no impediments towards actually making some herself.
Six of the home lot's graves were moved in an attempt to reduce lag and actually finish a legacy on the same lot it began, for once. Rhea spent a semester on academic probation, but managed to get her grades up by the next semester. Unfortunately, by that point Cronus had begun failing himself, much to the detriment of his sanity. Hyperion graduated soon afterwards, netting us another college dropout in Cronus, while Rhea, Oceanus, and Phoebe managed to get their degrees. Unfortunately, in the midst of their "moving-out-shuffle," they witnessed Cassie autonomously cheating on her fiancé Hyperion, in the photobooth with another dormie.
So, Hyperion's back at home and back in his YA outfit because I see no need to switch things up now.
And we immediately invite Cassie over, but these two do this before I manage to have Hyperion get the wedding invites out. *taps foot impatiently*
Ah, here we are. Perhaps I should've bothered to change his aunts out of their wedding garb.
L-R: Nyx, Demeter, Oceanus, Phoebe, Hermes, Gaea
L-R: Asklepios, Castor (angry about the bride's behavior or his own failures), Rhea, kingmike1224's Dave Simpson walking by, going "Heeeyyyy."
Cassie is not amused at her hubby-to-be's adolescent antics.
But soon the parents have been roused and put into their formal wear and the vows begin!
Ananke apparently spies a bit of golddigging...
Ah, finally changed into her carefully selected "crazy old broad" getup. <3 Ananke.
This totally should've counted towards Hyperion's "marry a rich sim" want. What gives?!
What a great day for a wedding, Hyperion. Not like your mother's.
Uh, Uncle Hermes, I'd rather not witness my father choking during it.
Why not get two generations of spares hating on the spouse this time around?
Fabulous piano playing!
...yeah, well, sometimes there's not much else to do around here but make music.
Cassie's a Knowledge sim, so I figure it might be a good idea to use her command to get her a job.
While she first actually rolled a job from the newspaper, the household's morning paper had already been stolen, so I rerolled her and she got the first computer job. Surprised at how much this pleased her, I took a peek...
...Cassie got her LTW career. While this will probably not result in her actually reaching it, at least she's not immediately locked out by a dice roll!
First, however, our lovebirds are off on their honeymoon!
Which sends the wedding guests home, even Rhea who was enjoying the swimming pool she never touched when she actually lived at the house.
Nathaniel is probably confused at all the building I've been doing across the bay so the Magicakes' house isn't surrounded by emptiness. Given Cassie's blissful grinning at her father-in-law's impending voyeurism, I'm beginning to think that this ISBI spouse came to use pre-drugged.
...and shared her stash with Hyperion.
Though I'm happy they're already in the legacy swing of things.
If at first you don't succeed, I'll make you try again.
(Second time took.)
Finally hung the heir portrait in the living room.
Anake was too busy cheering the craftsmanship on her own to notice her son's.
Will I ever be as great a spouse as Rocko (Rose) Bork?
...no.
This is the reason why Cassie couldn't get her newspaper job earlier, isn't it?
Yeah, all your "nonconformist" bullshit isn't fooling me!
Uh...what?
Oh, sweetie, maybe you're just angry that there's something on your shirt?
What? I was sure I wasn't even wearing a--
Haha, you're too easy!
I don't know why, but I find it much less entertaining when the adults do this randomly than when it's maladjusted children.
I hate your face!
HAHAHAHA
In fact, I feel--
...ugh.
Sorry, Cas, that's probably morning sickness.
All of you girls were just vermin crawling over the RANDOLPH NAME!
Actually, I was kinda won over by Cassie's adorable and forced Hyperion into compliance, but--
OH COME ON, ANANKE
It's like she's an eight-year-old again.
I'm...cold...and...wet...and...n-nauseated!
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh great, now they're going to nauseate their son.
Don't mind me, just need my morning bite before my first day at my new job!
JUST FRYING AN EGG IN HERE
...off to take my morning shower!
And Hyperion's off to work with the sexy carpool man. This shot was solely to get a good face shot before I uploaded him, but I have learned he has a broken template like Parvati and Pansy Laurince's father, so he needs to be tweaked in Bodyshop before I do that.
Oh, a walkby! It's steezie_k's Pip Creelman, who's actually Ananke's uncle/Hyperion's great-uncle.
Well, I lost this the last time I did it, let's just pick the opposite answer this time.
THIS SCIENCE FAIR IS RIGGED AGAINST MY SIMS' STUDENTS
Cassie's morning sickness continues. Luckily, her first day of work wasn't today. (And, at this rate, won't be until after she has the baby.)
These two are magically getting along, now, too. Weird.
Yay! The faster Hyperion gains promotions, the faster he gains bonuses, and the faster he gets towards 100,000!
Hyperion, we're so glad you're home.
Tell us about your day!
Um, well...we got screwed at the science fair, but my bosses thought I should be teaching higher level classes, anyway!
(Boy, they're creeping me out.)
You and me both, you and me both...
Well, it wasn't a fluke over in the Magicakes's last update, it must be true bromance.
Nathaniel comes home with javabean_dreams's Demetri Tradeen, newly married into my round of the Magicakes Round Robin.
Phoebe is so stunned by his cuteness, she forgot to steal the newspaper OR dump over the trashcan.
Oh, so you're expecting, Cassie? Better hope you don't have quadruplets like my Naaru just did!
...well, I guess Mom is a twin who had triplets, it's not totally impossible...
...I don't feel too good.
Oh, don't you worry, Cassie. What would the odds be that I'd have quads in the Borks, Magicakes, AND the Randolphs so soon in succession?
At least she's safely out of the puking stage of sim pregnancy.
And Phoebe has also been distracted by the bubble blower I bought. Hyperion rolls a lot of funny wants for a Fortune sim.
Since her cute tank top was inexplicably NOT on the normal untuckable top mesh, we give Cassie some adorable maternity wear.
These two are still being sickeningly cute.
Contrary to what this picture would imply, Hyperion (as of this writing) has never used his bubble blower.
Watch your back, smug mailwoman. Watch. your. back.
They're like best friends now. It's almost creepy, this 180.
KA-CHING
It's nice to hear that Nathaniel's son is doing so well...who is that?
...it's just one of Ananke's crazy in-laws. Oh, wait, I'm being redundant again. It's just one of Ananke's in-laws.
Nathaniel's not the only one who's made pixel_trade Round Robin friendships.
(Those aspiration points? Just Ananke hitting Hyperion's 100 grand LTW. Too bad hers was to top 5 businesses.)
Ananke's brought home Nathrezim Magicakes, courtesy of brilliantcat.
You shouldn't gossip about your poor mother, Nank. How would you have liked to have been drugged up, married against your own will, forced to give birth to seven children, and die a total of three times?
I guess it's only fitting that the small harvest of fresh food Hyperion netted while away at Uni be used on a serving of traditional Randolph college pudding.
Oh, I seem to be growing larger every day.
It's quads, I tell you. QUADS.
I think Demetri's got a bit of a haunted look in his eyes, now, don't you?
I hope you gave me extra, honey. I think there might be more than one baby in there.
Oh, don't be silly, Cassie.
But Demetri over here is convinced I'm carrying quads like his wife did!
Well, to be fair, I could be off by one. I'm calling anything from trips to quints.
Thank GOD Quints don't exist in the sims!
Our totally-in-the-closet-about-being-a-pleasure-sim heir wanted a bar, so I reluctantly bought him one. Sure, lots of people have legacy horror stories about bars, but it really was only slightly annoying in my other families, right?
And while I was slightly worried at Cassie's drink preparation, I'm pretty sure a recently pregnant Laurince merely prepared trays of drinks before walking away, so...
...um.
This has never before happened in my game. Wow.
Hyperion picks up a drink, and Cassie waddles out with the bottle to join him.
*hic* If you get my amount of babies right, you should like, win an award or somfin!
Cassie, please. Think of your gestationee(s)!
I love you, Hyperion.
That's great, Cass, but did you have to barge in, leave the door open, and watch me pee while you said that?
Note: None of the household has touched the bubble blower.
Which is probably the for the better, considering how much Cassie's trying to ruin Generation 8 before it's even born.
Ananke, perhaps you should talk some sense into your daughter-in-law.
Or, you know, watch her down an entire bottle of liquor. Whatever.
:D
Oh great, another game behavior I hadn't seen from the legacy's official drunkard.
lauriethemuppet's Chloe Flick walks by...if Hyperion were home, I'm sure he'd invite you in for a drink.
...we have plenty. I love the look on Cassie's face here.
If I wanted to drink straight out of the bottle, why'd I make so many mixed drinks?
Be damned if I know, Cassie.
We wouldn't be inviting Noah Lutzen (simfinite) in. That would probably be illegal, as he's still a teen.
Your daughter-in-law is literally attached to a bottle of rum, is about ten months pregnant, and you're the one to drink themselves into a bladder explosion? What do you have to say for yourself, Ananke?!
...oops?
We're surrounded by idiots.
And you don't even head to the shower to rid yourself of the stench of urine, you grab another drink. That's it. We're putting the bar in Hyperion's inventory.
*sob*
I honestly don't know if she's upset that she peed herself or that there's no more bar.
But what will we do for fun now?
I'm sure you can find outlets for entertainment that don't involve pickling your child(ren) in utero!
At least somebody isn't ruining their life. (Actually, Nathaniel NEVER had a drink.)
Oh, right, you're sad about that now that you've sobered up, is that it?
Let's see if Demetri was right!
Unfortunately, there were no good labor pictures because of this door.
A girl, Tethys, with Cassie's eyes, light skin, and her father Hyperion's hair.
More than one!
Another girl, Theia, with darker skin like her father, Cassie's eyes, and Nathaniel's brown hair. Only two, I guess that makes Demetri wrong.
Cassie takes Theia right over to a crib. Perhaps she will be awesome like the legendary Rocko!
Well, it looks like the babies came out alright. No fetal alcohol syndrome or anything...
I'm never doing drugs again!
That's refreshing, Cassie, seriously.
Because I think those won't be your only two children.
Normal women would be suspicious at their daughter-in-law and husband conversing in a bedroom in their underwear. Ananke's just bored and wanting to serenade her husband. Again.
Aw, look at our little administrator in his cute blue suit! Guess what it's time for?
Sorry, NANNY, but you're getting PAID because Cassie finally gets to go to her job, so shuddap.
The nanny's actually being moderately competant today, so I'll keep my grumbling for the next time she leaves a baby on the floor.
I see that brilliantcat's Caprica Vaughn is onto you, mail lady.
So am I. So am I.
Wish me luck on my first day at work!
Good luck, Cassie!
Seriously, Demetri? There are at LEAST four children at home waiting for you. Are you going to leave them all alone with your wife?
Aw, who am I kidding, that's the reason why he never wants to go home after work. -_-
What the fuck kind of handle is Dem0ngurl?!
This...this is our knowledge sim's life aspiration.
Shortest day of work ever!
Poor Sweet Georgia Brown Behr (bondchick_nett) is forced to witness yet MORE serenading as Ananke arrives home from work.
I didn't even SEE that we had ghosts back out, but Nathaniel obviously did.
I think he makes a good grandpa, tucking kids in autonomously. Awww.
Aaaand Einstein Dork (katu) is being a creeper again.
Who the hell are you?
Sure, it got him into sperm donation in one legacy, but that was only because I was desperate not to have the ten-kid generation be any second longer than necessary!
This was kinda great, they actually left and arrived simultaneously that day.
Hyperion's kinda showing everyone else up at promotions.
Though Cassie was probably barfing left and right, so I understand why she didn't get a promotion. Also, the stench cloud? It's Hyperion's.
After a quick washup, it's time for the twins' birthday.
We've got Theia...
...who appears to be the spitting image of her mother with more of Hyperion's coloring.
How about sis?
Tethys has XD eyes, which is comforting...
...though she looks a LOT LOT LOT like Hyperion, so we'll have to see how her siblings turn out.
They are both adorable, of course, just like their parents.
It's amazing how quickly you get promoted, no matter what position you're in, Hyperion!
Well, it's only through your love and support. I'd be a wreck, for instance, if I had to worry that you were unfaithful or something.
Though Phoebe won't get over it, luckily the only time Cassie "strayed" was ACR-induced madness before you two even married.
Hyperion's search for more promotions leads him to trying to figure out just who touched everything in his house. Honey, this house has been around since Gen 2. That's a hell of a long time, and a hell of a lot of fingerprints.
You know what, Cassie? If you weren't such a goddamn PLEASURE sim in Knowledge sim clothing, you might not be this close to the loony bin. Just a thought.
I don't know if Emmett is crying over his wife's grave, or the fact that the family finally has a bubble bong when he's too dead to use it.
Family sim ghosts shouldn't really be scaring expectant progeny, should they?
Cassie's got, like, a negative health bar here. So she goes to eat and...serves pudding. The ghosts' presence makes her serve ALL the bowls. I'm afraid that pudding is going to kill her.
It doesn't, but she continues to seek guidance from a volleyball wearing a mortar board.
That's it. Neither one of you will ever measure up to Rocko. Look at Theia, begging for attention!
What's she doing?
Oh, I bet I can guess...
...yep, got it right in one.
Let's walk on the wild side. Live for danger.
We have a boy, with a deeper skintone like Nathaniel's, Cassie's eyes, and Hyperion's black hair. His name is Atlus.
And a girl, with a golden skintone, Cassie's eyes, and Nathaniel's brown hair. Her name is Aura.
Now their names were just coincidence, as I had them chosen as options for opposite sex twins, but I kinda like how their elements of "holding the earth" and "light" go along with their skin colors. Maybe it's just me.
Even the gardener is impressed by my Hyperion's naming skills.
Afterwards, a quick post-birth Thriller dance.
It's nice to know that giving birth to twins twice hasn't made Cassie any less attractive to her husband.
Aaaand Cassie and Nathaniel try to get back into my "good autonomous childcare" book, but it's too late. I've seen true greatness, and none shall compare.
Everybody gets to hold a baby, though. YAAAAYYYY!

I expect that Cassie will eventually go crazy. She doesn't want to DO knowledge sim things on her own, even if that's what she wants in her want bar! If you've guessed that for the latter few Randolph generations, the number of kids will be dictated by how long it takes to get options for XD eyes, you are absolutely correct. I am absolutely loving the assortment of skintones already, though!
Magicakes next (with RRs getting extra-high priority and all), and I promise the ultimate follow-up to infant quads and copious death!
So, as you probably know if you visited LJ (or attempted to) last week, they were being DDoSed by folks who don't like Russian bloggers having freedom of speech. I decided to wait to upload pictures and write a huge post until the site was a wee bit more stable. I'm already most of the way into the next Magicakes update!

This was kinda great, they actually left and arrived simultaneously that day.
Hyperion's kinda showing everyone else up at promotions.
Though Cassie was probably barfing left and right, so I understand why she didn't get a promotion. Also, the stench cloud? It's Hyperion's.
After a quick washup, it's time for the twins' birthday.
We've got Theia...
...who appears to be the spitting image of her mother with more of Hyperion's coloring.
How about sis?
Tethys has XD eyes, which is comforting...
...though she looks a LOT LOT LOT like Hyperion, so we'll have to see how her siblings turn out.
They are both adorable, of course, just like their parents.
It's amazing how quickly you get promoted, no matter what position you're in, Hyperion!
Well, it's only through your love and support. I'd be a wreck, for instance, if I had to worry that you were unfaithful or something.
Though Phoebe won't get over it, luckily the only time Cassie "strayed" was ACR-induced madness before you two even married.
Hyperion's search for more promotions leads him to trying to figure out just who touched everything in his house. Honey, this house has been around since Gen 2. That's a hell of a long time, and a hell of a lot of fingerprints.
You know what, Cassie? If you weren't such a goddamn PLEASURE sim in Knowledge sim clothing, you might not be this close to the loony bin. Just a thought.
I don't know if Emmett is crying over his wife's grave, or the fact that the family finally has a bubble bong when he's too dead to use it.
Family sim ghosts shouldn't really be scaring expectant progeny, should they?
Cassie's got, like, a negative health bar here. So she goes to eat and...serves pudding. The ghosts' presence makes her serve ALL the bowls. I'm afraid that pudding is going to kill her.
It doesn't, but she continues to seek guidance from a volleyball wearing a mortar board.
That's it. Neither one of you will ever measure up to Rocko. Look at Theia, begging for attention!
What's she doing?
Oh, I bet I can guess...
...yep, got it right in one.
Let's walk on the wild side. Live for danger.
We have a boy, with a deeper skintone like Nathaniel's, Cassie's eyes, and Hyperion's black hair. His name is Atlus.
And a girl, with a golden skintone, Cassie's eyes, and Nathaniel's brown hair. Her name is Aura.
Now their names were just coincidence, as I had them chosen as options for opposite sex twins, but I kinda like how their elements of "holding the earth" and "light" go along with their skin colors. Maybe it's just me.
Even the gardener is impressed by my Hyperion's naming skills.
Afterwards, a quick post-birth Thriller dance.
It's nice to know that giving birth to twins twice hasn't made Cassie any less attractive to her husband.
Aaaand Cassie and Nathaniel try to get back into my "good autonomous childcare" book, but it's too late. I've seen true greatness, and none shall compare.
Everybody gets to hold a baby, though. YAAAAYYYY!

I expect that Cassie will eventually go crazy. She doesn't want to DO knowledge sim things on her own, even if that's what she wants in her want bar! If you've guessed that for the latter few Randolph generations, the number of kids will be dictated by how long it takes to get options for XD eyes, you are absolutely correct. I am absolutely loving the assortment of skintones already, though!
Magicakes next (with RRs getting extra-high priority and all), and I promise the ultimate follow-up to infant quads and copious death!
