The Starr legacy 4.8
well hello there
this is a long chapter, so buckle up!
Okay so it's spooky day. The kids roll a wish to go trick or treating, and I send Alex to go with them because he's a good dad and all. Then they all cycle there instead of taxing/driving... but no one lives near them. So they cycle for about two game hours.
Also, there are more sims behind Alex than there are at any hot spot ever.
What is even going on.
Calm down, Devi.
They get there at like... ten or something. THEN THEY CAN'T TRICK OR TREAT BECAUSE OF THEIR CURFEW.
Aaaand to top things off, they have to cycle all the way back home. Ffs, sims xD
I'd say this is a sweet scene of the women reading the kids to bed.
But then Carline's choice of book isn't exactly appropriate? Better than murder I guess, though Anne seemed to enjoy it.
Devi: "It gives me yummy food dreams."
Whatever floats your boat, doll.
Yes, let's mind meld with your dead father. What did you learn? A social networking skill. Brilliant.
Carline: "Also that I'm a sellout and the art in my house is bad."
Skylar: "That's my girl!"
Auri: "We have to show a combined front against Devi's moods."
Fela: "Ugh, remind me never to grow up."
Devi: "SOON."
:')
All Auri does is preach to her royal assholes or whatever, because she's a snob (very unlike Book!Auri) and I never noticed the reactions of other sims before! Devi bowed.
Aaand Devan did this. Throwing kisses? I dunno. It's sweet anyway! I should pay attention to the game more haha.
Devi breaks the feminine stereotype by catching her some bandits.
Devi: "Round 'em up! Don't kill 'em! Why have a dead bandit when you can have a slave instead?"
Well... I see your point.
Though she occasionally does show a nicer side and play with innocous yetis.
Auri: "Hey, grandma, what are you playing?"
Carline: "Oh don't worry about it honey, just drink your juice and go to work like a good girl."
Auri: ".... I'm ten."
Carline: "Yeah, happy birthday."
Auri: "...."
I forgot my poor bb is hydrophobic :')
Auri: "The water feels so gross against my bare skin!"
Meanwhile, Fela manages to convince Carline to play tag with her.
Fela: "Grandma! We were only supposed to play on the lot!"
Carline: "Yeah well it's hide and seek now, cya!"
Alex: "My dear and noble Queen, your pancakes are ready."
Yeah, Auri is presiding over her royal court again.
Devi: "Ugh, don't feed into her already massive ego, dad."
He tries his recently made nectar, just because.
Alex: "I mean, it could be worse. It could be urine, or something."
Baby steps.
Alex: "Bloody kids, breaking everything." *grumpily mutters to self*
He's such a good dad <3
Fela: "Mum, why do you only ever wear your underwear?"
Constance: "Because I say no to the man!"
Fela: "...uhhh..."
Auri takes a break from being a queen to play rodeo, or something.
Auri: "I'm still a queen, I'm just riding my royal pony!"
Of course.
Carline: "Got loads of little friends, now, Bamboo."
Bamboo: "FELLOW CAPTIVES YOU MEAN!"
Legacy butterfly is still going strong.
Devi: "It's finally time to embrace my teenage years!"
Okay.
Just.
Brace yourselves.
Something bad happened with the sliders.
.....
She doesn't look quite as bad from this far away but... I actually had to edit her face. I'm sorry! But she looked so strange. I don't even know why! The few bits of custom sliders I used on Devan and Alex must have clashed or something.
Thankfully, we managed to make things a little better.
Meanwhile...
Carline: "DUDE A FUCKIN' NECTAR MACHINE?!"
Alex: "Oh my God, the sign said no girls!!"
Devi: "The night sky is so beautiful, so unrepressed, just happy to be itself and say no to expectations. I respect you, sky."
Sky: "Damn right."
I don't even know anymore.
Auri: "I feel dissention among the ranks of my peasants."
Fela: "Peasant? Says you, dressed in that get up."
Auri: "THIS WAS THE ONLY LEFT OVER CHRISTMAS CRACKER HAT."
Shantell was the invisible ghost in the FC, and she disappeared as soon as Devan walked towards her.
Shantell: "oooOOOoooo sell out oooOOooo"
Devi: "Ah, the mist on the window. It's so inspirational and gentle, just resting softly against the window -"
What are you even doing with your life Dev.
Constance defeats another chess opponent.
Her eye to rest-of-face ratio is quite worrying.
I do love her, despite her strange face.
Oh, EA. Did you have a whole department of people to think up things like this?
aaay winter festival
Dude: "Move out of the way, kid, you suck at this."
Fela: "I'm not even on the damn rink yet!"
Spoiler: she does suck at it
I love having my sims play around on this.
...
Wearing elbow length gloves does not class that as outerwear.
Serves you right, Dev.
bzzzzzz
Morgana: "Hello, little human, I am here to challenge your mother."
Fela: "I don't care, get off my snow."
Morgana: "You don't own the snow, you uneducated twit."
Fela: "I own the lot, though, so go away."
Constance: "So do you come from another planet or...?"
Morgana: "Rude."
Constance: "I've just never seen people like... you."
Morgana: "Okay, for that I'm going to take your blood."
Constance: "For... what?"
Morgana: *sighs*
Devi: "The music is so individual, so soothing; it's passion in its rawest form."
Okay are you like a weird kind of hipster or...?
Nah, she's just a brooding sim.
Devi: "Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about the inevitibility of death and the purpose of religion in the tapestry that is human life."
Cool, brah.
Fela, by some miracle (glitch), is the only one that gets to stay home despite it being a snow day. The bus came anyway -shrugs-
Poor gnomes!
We bring some planters indoors because Alex needs some grapes and life fruits and such for his nectar making.
And carline preceeded to cry over them. No idea. None at all. I just... sims, y'know? xD
Go to visit Anne and age her kids up, as they didn't go to teens for some reason, and wow. Your apartment is not made for more than two people, is it?
I reset the lot, anyway. Makes it easier.
God damn, what is wrong with this generation?
I edited their faces in CAS, okay. Sue me, they're not breeding into the legacy.
Better, I suppose..
Auri: "Why aren't my kingdom here to celebrate this glorious day?"
Devan: "Did I leave the food out this morning?"
Fela: "I'm here, okay, stop being so melodramatic, sheesh."
Auri: "Better."
Her face was okay, though I did tweak it a tiny bit. Just a tiny bit, I promise!
Alex: "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!"
Auri, "Ugh, a little too late, dad. GAWD."
Her ear is too small for the piercings awww.
I love how quirky these kids are so far. Though look at that fucking jaw line. I'm going to have to fix your face a little more, Dev...
Well, that's all folks!
