A Very Brady "Legacy" - Episode 3
WARNING: ONE NUDE SHOT!
So upon Alice's reaching adulthood, I moved the family to a new house in Riverview. Gwen hated it. I can't say I blame her. GREEN ATTACK.
So then I downloaded a new world called Queensbridge or Queenstown or whatever and moved the family there. Alice loved it.
And I have to admit, the scenery was beautiful.
Very detailed and well done.
The family liked it okay...
But then there were all these weirdnesses and some glitches and there were abandoned houses with just toddlers living there.
Gwen: O____o Uh....does this kid have a mother?
And so began my week-long hunt for a new world that I loved and that had everything. And I found it! Brooklyn Heights. It's not full of CC, it's not so huge it'll go corrupt on me, it's very well designed and it has EVERYTHING. You can find it and a new world just created called Elmira City (which I also downloaded) HERE. He(?) also does some kick-ass houses, too.
So the first night there, I sent Alice out to a club to meet some men. And let's just say that some bartending outfits are better suited for thinner people.
Alice met Dwight, who was totally freaking hot - and single! Amazing!
Zane has become obsessed with working out and training in his old age. He hasn't retired yet, but this is ALL HE DOES on his off time! Mental note: No more athletic Sims. I"m pretty sure Gwen will thank me.
I guess you still graduate, no matter if you move the family or not! This s the best pic I have of it, though.
Gwen. <3
Alice calls all her friends back home to enthuse about the new house.
Dang, Zane is a fine looking older gentleman, yes? Gwen seems to think so.
Alice gets a job in the music career - she wants to be a one-woman band. She'll go into the symphony branch when the time comes.
This is where the Brady house is located. Lovely view!
Zane and Gwen are very anxious for grandchildren, so Zane took every opportunity to try to speed that process along. For instance, at his firefighting jobs.
Guy: I'm just DYING to get married! Obviously I'm not responsible enough to live alone if I set the place on fire!
Zane: Hmmm....I might have JUST the girl for you!
Guy: That'd be great! My only requirement is that she has to have perfect teeth. And I mean PERFECT! Is that doable?
Zane: Dang...do I really want to sic this guy on my only daughter??
Alice: I'm trying to meet someone Mom, but it's hard! This town is barely populated and I work all the time!
Zane: Maybe if you lifted weights, you would be more attractive to men!
Alice: Dad, I seriously doubt having bulging biceps is going to make me pregnant any faster, okay?
Alice eventually persuaded Dwight to go out on a date with her. The agreed to meet at the water park. This is a view of it from the bridge across the city. :D
Dwight was kind of boring and wouldn't stop talking about himself.
Alice really did not seem that jazzed with him. It's so funny how you can tell, you know?
Sigh. These people are retarded. ZANE is the only one who's supposed to stand in the fire!
Meanwhile, Dwight totally abandoned Alice on their date. He just left her there alone!
The next day she confronted him about it.
He gave her this look. Alice said that she didn't think it was going to work out.
Gwen's birthday!
Getting old is serious business, you know. She is still cute as a button.
Stilllllll talking about garbage, I see.
So I bought the foot massager chair from the store and my Sims love it. But they don't love it so much it's annoying, if you know what I mean.
Their fun goes way up and sometimes they autonomously fall asleep in it. It's cute, I like it.
Gwen has a tough road ahead of her as she has to remake all the friends she lost in the move in order to level up her charisma.
When he's not doing manly workouts, Zane likes to watch the Romance Channel. :D
This is the Brady's maid. I can't remember his name. He's a simple creature.
So one day, Alice invites over her co-worker Dio so she can work on her band relationships.
And they were SMITTEN with each other. Instant attraction. So while he's not who I would have picked for her, I'm going with it.
Alice: Hey...how YOU doin'?
LOL ZANE. He's all, "Heh. Heh. Heh." Already counting the number of grandchildren. And, unbeknowst to Zane, Dio's LTW is Surrounded By Family. :D
Alice's first kiss. She never got that far as a teen!
Zane rocks the firefighting in this town as well and receives a golden fire hydrant!
Meanwhile, on her day off, Alice and Dio go to another park for a date. IT WAS SO CUTE.
The went swimming together...
...made out...
...admired each other's bodies...
...had a nice meal...
...and played foosball well into the evening. Also, SCENERY.
She also managed to practice her instruments a lot, and moved up the music career ladder very quickly.
Gwen: So...about those grandchildren....
Alice: I'M WORKING ON IT, MOTHER.
The next time Dio came over, while Zane lurked not-so-subtly in the background...
...Alice proposed. Of course Dio accepted.
And they promptly consummated the engagement.
They are adorable together. I love it when your Sims find the perfect match.
Gwen always had a lot of people over, trying to make friends. A lot of them flirted with her inappropriately so apparently she still had it going on for an old broad. Zane was pretty chill about it and took it in stride, thankfully.
Zane: So, Alice, about the grandchildren...
Alice: UGH!
The Maid: So, your daughter Alice! She's pretty amazing, right? You think I could ask her out?
Gwen: No! Haven't you heard al the talk about her engagement the last couple of days? Where have you been?
The Maid: Well, you try hearing things with your head stuck in the toilet trying to unclog it, why don't you? It's not easy, you know!
Gwen: Look, just try not to kill yourself on the job, okay?
Playing the bass is quite fun, you see.
Alice has a bachelorette party at the Coco Lounge patio.
Alice: Wooo! PAR-TAY!
Before she even had ONE drink, she decided she wanted to skinny dip. WTF ALICE??? It is WAY too early in the evening for these sorts of shenanigans.
Alice's boss was there and she tried asking for a raise. It didn't work.
Wooo, army strippers!
They were kinda lame, but the guests seemed to like them.
And then, Alice's PARENTS showed up! Who wants their parents at the bachelorette party??
Alice: Mom, we can talk details about the wedding tomorrow, okay? Can you guys leave now, PLEASE?
The strippers make their exit, unnoticed and pretty much unappreciated.
Oh, well, well, well! Look who decided to crash the party!
Alice: Oh. It's you. Well, I would attempt to talk to you but I'm about to pass out on my feet. So, later.
The next morning...
Alice: Ugh, Dad, do you know of any way you can turn down the sun?? My aching head...
Alice: The wedding is TOMORROW, Mom, so don't even start with me about the kids!
Aw, Zane finally gets to rescue a child! Even though said child seems perfectly capable of walking out by herself, it looks much more dramatic this way.
Gwen gets invited to the lamest party ever. Swimwear was required and she got there, and this is what she saw. A random person with a screaming infant, some chick sitting on the couch in her bathing suit watching TV, and the host making Autumn Salad. Great.
And then the host went to bed. AWESOME. Gwen ate some salad and bolted.
Zane only does MANLY workouts, you see.
The family that learns new things together, stays together.
Alice was finally promoted into the symphony branch of the music career! She's very excited.
Zane amassed enough lifetime reward points to buy a food replicator. I've never had one! I immediately had him try and upgrade it so it had more memory because nobody in this family can cook except him.
Zane and Gwen still got it going on, as they literally become one in the shower.
Wedding day!! I downloaded this community beach wedding lot and I love it! Look how happy Alice looks. <3
Gwen decides to play the piano during the vows. Her piano skill is like 2. It wasn't pleasant.
Even the guests are amazed at the beautiful views. It is pretty kick ass. Also, nice formal outfit, Dio. Yeesh.
Welcome to the family, Dio Brady! His LTW is to be surrounded by family, YES. He's also a computer whiz, good, and a bookworm! Good catch, Alice!
Zane cried like a little baby during the vows.
Dio plants a nice one on Alice...
...and then cuts the rug with the mother of the bride.
Random Wedding Guest: I just came here for the cake, you know.
This wedding party went on for hours and it was tons of fun to watch. Alice and Dio danced and kissed the whole time.
While the rest of the guests drank, danced and conversed.
More kissing. :D
AND THEN ZANE AND GWEN DID THIS. I was all "AWWWWW" at my computer. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE, OKAY?
Alice hugs her mother and expresses her happiness.
Gwen imparts some tips for a happy marriage to her daughter. I'd listen to her, Alice, her and Zane are amazing together.
As the evening wound down, Alice called Dio over to the piano.
Dio: Dang...I'm actually MARRIED! :D :D :D
She sang him a beautiful love song.
Because Dio wanted to be surrounded by family, and also to shut Alice's parents up, they tried for baby immediately.
Even though Zane was still 5 lives away from his LTW of saving 30 lives, I had him retire, because he's getting really old and probably won't be around much longer. And he seems happy enough. Apparently Sims celebrate retirement with posters of the abominable snowman?? Yetis?? IDK.
Zane was still trying to upgrade the dang food replicator and he got electrocuted! For the first time EVER! If he had died, I would have been furious. But he didn't. But he did have to start all over on the dumb thing.
Try For Baby: SUCCESSFUL. :D
Dio is really a class act, he likes Gwen and Zane a lot. Which is good. They're all so dang nice!
Well, that's all for now, folks!
