I am really on a roll with these updates...wonder when I will get to the point where I don't want to play anymore...
We are returning back to the main households - Engadine Austen with her four spawn, Werrington Heller with his five daughters.
AUSTEN
In case you are already confused with the mess that is the family tree (it gets messier, I tell you), the main Austen household currently consists of:
Maximilian, Founder
Joanne, his wife
Engadine, 2nd generation heir
Chuck, her husband
Exo & Trax, their twin sons
Spica & Cienne Blue, their twin daughters.
Why the agonised face, Chuck? You are doing so well.
Oh right. Because Trax sucks. I guess you can't expect everything to be passed down generations...
It's summer time, and because they are so rich, a pool has been built. It's time to get out of that basement and enjoy the sun!
Engadine has topped her second career! Good job.
Exo does a bit of entertaining himself in the bathtub. Max is kind of questioning his maturity.
Hi Cienne Blue! She's too busy wolfing down that pancake to care.
Chuck: CNB, we are now a highly respected family full of wealth and culture. We even have a butler. You need to stop eating with your hands.
None of that got through; she got distracted by even more food.
CNB's also a mean one; making fun of her sister Spica and all. Lately Spica has been the butt of everyone's jokes. Poor girl, would feel sorry for her if she wasn't so annoying as a toddler.
Dat smile. This would make a very good advertisement for his private school. Don't you reckon?
You two are never ever getting together. That better be clear! Or else...you shall feel Simgod's wrath, Kara.
(Trax gets away because he's gonna be heir. Heirs really do get away with everything.)
Birthday time for the girls!
Wow, for once, decent outfits! I don't have to waste time shopping.
Spica rolled Romance, Cienne rolled Wealth.
Since morning smustle is not enough, the Austens also do some pre-bedtime smustle.
Once again, except Spica. Nobody likes Spica.
She doesn't care. Time to spend away the Austen fortune on a blind date! Just know, Spica's turn ons are Vampirism and Zombiism. Seriously, good luck finding somebody like that.
Well...he sort of looks a vampire, and that means undead...well played, Gypsy Maker.
Spica's not so sure...but hey that was 5000 simoleons! Your grandfather didn't even have that for half of his life.
Creepy eyes. Nonetheless the it was a dream date!
Oh no, Joanne!
(Although Grimmy is like 'cuse me sir butler, coming through...)
Spica tries to comfort everyone by mentioning the inherited money (so that she can have more blind dates...).
Poor Maximilian has passed out while all that happened...
He joined his wife shortly. :( RIP my founder.
Time to move on.
Or to the comfy cemetery, that's cool too.
All the weeping. Even the llama ears droop...
Another morning. The butler actually hums while watering the plants! I thought that was kind of cool.
Time to think about getting all the scholarships.
Except Spica. She always the exception.
Teens these days, sigh.
And if you were wondering because your mind is in the gutter, yes they did.
Spica's reputation has gone to the point where cousin Codevy sits a far as politely possible with half an eye closed. And this is a boy who deals with a witch/werewolf everyday.
An sim that is to inherit a §400,000 fortune definitely has girls coming all over him.
Exo doesn't approve though.
With four teenagers, it must be time for Engadine and Chuck to enter the relaxing stage of life that is elderhood.
Engadine seem to have developed some sort of Asian anti-aging characteristic along with that outfit...
Changed her hair, still looks pretty young...
Time to kick the kids out to college.
This Austen update has now ended with a hug.
HELLER
Currently residing in the Heller household are:
Evangeline, Founder
Juan, her husband
Werrington, 2nd generation heir
Barbara, his wife
Kara, Shinee, Sunny Hille, Bartouse, & Tuennione, their daughters.
Sunny Hille & Shinee showing off their grades to Barbara.
These bored oldies, slow dancing in the dining room.
And pretending to be spies and all. But hey got all the legit gadgets now!
Zomg!!11!! An actual, decent, not burnt meal by Werrington!
Barbara and Wynyard have a discussion while playing chess.
Barbara: I just don't know why I keep getting demoted in Law. I had no choice but to switch to Law Enforcement.
Wynyard: Not sure for you, but I reached the top pretty quickly. Did you read your law books in uni?
Barbara: Well....*feign confusion*
Tuennione bouncing on the new couches! Well they aren't new now.
It is time for Shinee and Sunny Hille to grow up!
For some reason, this is the last time you will see Shinee. I don't think she was that dazzling of a girl for me to capture what she was doing. Plus she was outshineed by her sister Sunny (harharharharharharharhar) such as...
trying new things and making dramatic faces.
Turns out her OTH is Tinkering! Restore ALL the cars!
Every morning she wakes up with the want to restore the car. She chooses yellow; totally did not see that coming, Sunny.
Driving to her own restored car to school like a boss.
New outfit!
Kara, on the other hand, would never get her hands or her beautiful hair dirty.
Bartouse and Tuennione spend a lot of time dancing and playing the piano, like proper ladies.
Especially Bartouse, who is most accomplished on the piano. Here's teenage Bartouse teaching Kara her techniques.
(The subtlest I can manage to cover up to fact I missed Tuennione and Bartouse's birthdays...)
Not to be outdone by the Austens, Werrington tops his second career too.
I think all my Heller heirs will have to reach the top the Intelligence career now...as a challenge.
He's on a roll of achievements...
Time to say goodbye to the last of first generation.
Mourning.
Werrington's been so shocked that he has regressed back to his old, burning food self.
WHAT did I say about you and Trax, Kara?!
No, that was not funny. Good thing it was just ACR and you guys aren't really in love...yet...
Birthdays!
And everybody actually appears in the picture!
I take it as a sign that you want a holiday, Werrington?
Sunny Hille, trying to keep up with all the musical talent in the house. Her dream is to become a Rock God, so I suppose it's reasonable.
Bringing friends home. Return of Fix and Codevy!
Alright, one last checking out before you are all being sent to college.
An obligatory couple hug to end the update.
~80 pics.
