Round Round Round (Robin)
IT'S HEEEEEREE! :D :D :D
Rather no-frills, so lots of room for you all to do a waaay better job than me. But it's started, and I've had an absolute ball.
Joseph Arden, created by saartje77 , voted probably by you to be our Round Robin Legacy founder.
For those who haven't got the memo yet - a Round Robin is a legacy where ten peeps each take a generation.
brooke_82 's the ringleader, and you can nab moar info here. I scored first gen, woo!
I'm going for an elegant old-worldy type style for Joseph, just because it's not something I've done much before.
He rolled Fortune/Romance, and wants to Become The Law.
The welcome wagon! Cute, but all playables unfortunately.
Soo time to head out on the town and find that mythical three-bolt girl!
Or maybe settle for two bolts, since we're in a hurry.
Joseph tried his best to work some magic, but no-one was buying.
brilliantcat 's Amateya <3
No sparks, but at least she doesn't hold winning the Founder Poll against him it seems.
That's it mate, party away the hole in your heart :(
Be assured he's crying on the inside.
You know, I don't know why I bother. No matter how long I spend looking, the three-bolter is always some random who wanders by the house. In this case, her name is Lexie.
Joseph likes Lexie. Luckily she likes him too and agrees to move in.
Did I mention Joseph likes Lexie?
The traditional first-puke-of-the-legacy photo...
The happy and expectant couple head out on the town to celebrate.
With something non-alcoholic, I'm assuming.
Actually, their glasses appear to be empty, so hooray! for being especially careful.
Joseph in a snazzy blue shirt to indicate the fact that he's started work in the law career.
Go Joseph! Earn promotions often!
Still finds time to take good care of his baby mummy, though <3
Before too long... please excuse the thinking cap kthx...
Heir Candidate No. 1 - a girl, named Bette.
Annd it would seem that nothing much happened during the day she was a baby, so Birthday Time!
Awweh. Bette is an adorable little froggy-faced tot.
"I love you, Glowing Baby!"
Bette needs a miniature Tokyo to stomp around in. Actually, why hasn't anyone made a miniature Tokyo for the Sims?
Lexie's preggers again... we need those three heir candidates pronto.
And, no surprise to anyone at all after the cheesecake in the last picture, it's twins!
Baby No. 2 - a boy, named Clark.
Baby No. 3 - a girl, named Clara.
Since the house is now replete with wailing-and-pooping machines,
it must be a relief that one of their kids is taking a further step toward self-sufficiency.
Child-Bette spams...
Murphy's Law of Simming #0084:
If there is a one-tile hallway anywhere in your house, that is where your children will want to do their homework.
The twins grow to toddler. Since both cake shots looked exactly the same, I shall only bore you with one :D
Clark!
Clara!
Marloe-the-grumpy-witch-wannabe wanders over and proves that even the prickliest of sims wibble over Totoro nightshirts.
As they should.
She's not real sure what the babies are all about, though.
Yay, good parenting!
And good daughtering, too.
Moar birthdays!
The three siblings seem to enjoy all being kids together.
Except when their father terrifies them out of their wits.
Or when they catch boots instead of fishies.
But they do seem to enjoy falling out of bed.
But nothing lasts forever - and it's time for Bette to farewell childhood.
Teen Bette - likes to smustle.
And stargaze...
And spend time with the family...
And pelt defenceless old men (who dye their hair and wear trucker caps) with water balloons.
She's mostly a bit of an arse, actually.
Oh lookie, more good parenting! Win, Lexie.
"Did you ever feel like somebody was watching you, Mr. Horse?"
That's all well and good. Except that you are a lovely cloudywater sim and Steffi is a rather ordinary-looking
random townie and the two of you have nothing to do with each other at all.
Still, feel free to take her away if you'd like.
These two just keep having birthdays, it's true.
Yay for soulful eyes.
Clara's probably "the cool one."
Risky WooHoo has the last laugh - baby number four is on the way.
(I love Joseph's face :D)
Lexie is rather definitely too old for this shit.
Baby No. 4, sadly ineligible for heir - a girl, named Marilyn.
She's a sweet little tyke.
Joseph is nommable even when frozen.
Clara sees what you did there.
Oh crap!
(This happened twice.)
So eventually Joseph transitioned, thanks to the Tombstone of L&D, outside. In the snow. Alone.
Look how thrilled he is to have hair now.
I'm pretty sure I only took this pic to provide context in case of death or amusing electrocution,
but I like Lexie's *so very enthused to be fixing the computer* face so much I'm chucking it in anyway.
Bette, cheerfully numbing her dad's arm through Punch You - Punch Me.
Still, I much prefer that to these two, who are just a little too friendly.
Snow!
"OMG, Pingu! Dude, I used to watch your show EVERY MORNING on ABC Kids."
Clark, despite being a romance sim, managed to be the one to teach Marilyn every single skill.
Plus the nursery rhyme.
Woo! Birthday for Maz.
And time for Lexie to join her man in elderhood, too...
Ah, no.
Yes!
*heartfarts*
"Holy crap, our rock is on fire!"
I didn't know rocks could catch on fire. But then, in real life rocks aren't cloned from trees.
Ooh, a birthday!
Reasonable facial structure, but rather graceless as a whole. I love it :)
Poor kid's off to sit in the sim bin until the twins grow to adult, as per RRL rules.
We interrupt this legacy for a moment with cpowellscircus' gorgeous Dani.
(I've got all the available Founder candidates in my 'hood and am eternally pissed that 6aka's Ava was hiding,
I'll have to spam her another time.)
Now back to our regular programme, with a lazy Sunday spent fishing in pajamas.
"You're ace."
And yet...
Still, it seems to work for him.
<3
Marilyn (you haven't forgotten about her, have you?) grows up.
OF COURSE it's the one who's ineligible for heir that's the prettiest of the bunch. OF COURSE.
And it seems that my computer ate the pictures of the twins' next birthday,
but you all know what birthdays look like so just imagine something appropriate here.
Adult! Clark. Very cheekbony.
Wearing the same hair as his mum for now 'cause it's the one that really suits him.
Total sweetheart.
Adult Clara, who has this sort of Christina Ricci vibe that I quite like. Also rather cheekbony.
Oh, and Bette can come back now.
Clara was really, really not thrilled about missing out on college.
And Bette'd hardly been home a minute before all three of them decided they all needed to use the same bathroom at the same time. The house does have MORE THAN ONE BATHROOM, you people DX
So here we are. The three candidates for heir have grown to adulthood, so my chapter is done.
But before you go...
A wedding.
Thank you so much everyone for reading, Brooke for the brilliant idea and getting it organised,
and Saartje for the gorgeous Joseph.
Heir Poll will go up sometime tomorrow, and then... bring on brilliantcat!
