A bit different this gen; usually I start with the main households for the updates post college, but I got too many spares now! This is 4 families all mixed together, which made sense since they were all living in the same apartment complex.
THE ELIZONDOS
Start off with Cinccino moving into the house directly behind (blue one). The lot is
here, if you want to check it out!
And joining him is fiancee Sylveon and her two sisters Sunflora and Staravia.
Getting married at the downtown beach lot.
Glad we got that established.
This dress is nice. Don't think I've seen it before...
Some more wedding shots!
Zoning music...
Zoning arts...
Zoning on new neighbours!
Who could they be?
THE COOPERS
Sven Cooper and Xerneas Heller move into the 'yellow' house next door.
Celebrate new home together via pillow fight!
They weren't actually engaged, but they are now!
Before you know it, she's pregnant.
Wedding time! Legit not shotgun okay.
Xernea's parents and brothers, Sven's brother Noah attends their backyard wedding.
The guests take a break at the poker table in the common area.
Sven is tested by the father-in-law.
Xerneas needs some good rest!
Sven takes up a new hobby - sewing! Will have to squeeze it into the dining area.
Pop! Very soon!
Let's see who else has moved in.
THE HELLERS
2 seconds into moving in and Mudkip's got a thing for the landlord...
Rhydon Heller also joins...
Along with future wife Brittany Futa.
A makeover for Brittany.
She makes some lunch.
Rhydon and his lovey dovey eyes haha
Oh they weren't actually engaged...now they are! I'm bad with this.
Celebrating engagement with a pillow fight (what else?)
Mudkip doesn't look too impressed there.
Boring cooped up at home with nobody to woohoo huh
Jokes - found some passersby and this happened.
Random passerby chats up the rest of the family quite inappropriately. He is quickly removed from the premises (but not before Mudkip manages to get a photobooth photo!)
Wedding time!! Rhydon invites their parents over.
Another backyard wedding.
Mudkip gets bored and explores town. Lo and behold, Miles, one of her (former?) lovers and her worst enemy Staravia is around! And they allll live in the same apartment complex...
THE ELIZONDOS
Why Staravia and Miles Hertlein were hanging about in the shops - they were shopping for wedding clothes!
Well not really. I liked her dress enough. Seems like Miles is not aware a wedding was happening for him...
Some red flags there...
Whatever cake.
Staravia warns Mudkip to BACK OFF. Being in the same complex this might spell trouble.
Miles is in the culinary field, impresses his new wife with some tasy spaghetti.
Since Miles has moved in, it's getting quite crowded here...(two couples and Sunflora)
Especially with the talk of possible little Sylveons and Cinccinos..
THE COOPERS
Xerneas: I'm the pregnant one and Sven is the one that has fallen asleep
No more sleep! Babby time.
First gen 7! Olivine Cooper. This generation is colours.
THE HELLERS
More gen 7s are on the way - a Heller this time!
Rhydon responds to the news of being a dad by having a play in the bathtub.
Pop...
Mudkip also resorts hiding in the bathroom to hone her flirting techniques.
Before you know it, it's coming...
Say hi to Magnolia Heller!
THE ELIZONDOS
Sunflora continues her art passion while the new Hertleins are flirting in the background.
The babys are on the way for the actual Elizondos.
A bit of a crisis there since she's never even dated and her sisters are married, Sunflora tries out a blind date.
Sunflora's face says all.
This guy is passionate about old theatre how old is he?
Grim Reaper knocking on doorstep old.
Although he's got good enough eyesight to bird watch in the dark...Sunflora's feeling quite bored.
He too busy with blue jays...oh well next time Sunflora!
Generally being super lovey dovey in the rest of the house.
Staravia is expecting too!!
The sisters + some soon to be pixel babies
Staravia, don't be so mean to my fav Sunflora!!
The babies are coming...
Fuark. Triplets came out. That's 8 people in this tiny house!!
(to be fair...not that tiny. It's 4 bedrooms)
Oh the names of the kids. 1 boy (Zinnwaldite Brown), 2 girls (Quinacridone Magenta, Alizarin Crimson)
Yes, very long names, will just stick to Zinn, Quina and Aliza.
THE COOPERS
Tasty food...Sven being so helpful as usual.
Sometimes he's responsible!!
Takes credit of growing up Olivine (Xerneas not too happy)
Olivine as a toddler! Takes after her father.
And another is one the way.
Snapshot of lives.
Winter shot of their house. Thought it looked very cosy!
And before you know it, Isabelline Cooper is here.
THE HELLERS
Uhh nooo Mudkip goes to visit sleazeball Miles as a "friendly neighbour".
Invites him back for some friendly tickling.
AND NOT SO FRIENDLY ABORT ABORT ABORT
No they didn't listen. Mudkip has already found another guy by the next day. Gotta get that woohoo 20 sims going...
With 8 people and possible more on the way, the Hertleins (Staravia and Miles) move out. Perhaps it's a good thing to get Miles away from Mudkip.
Sunflora tries her luck again.
Seems like it's going well! Sunflora talks about everything under the world to Cecil Thackeray (one of the sims I made, and coindicentally, one of Sylveon's uni friends)
Date goes well into the morning when the sun rises..
First kiss!!
Meanwhile back inside the house the nanny is fricking useless. All three kids on the floor!
Cinccino helps out by putting them back into cribs.
Finally the nightmare is over, the bigger nightmare begins. Hi Zinn!
He's even got elf ears!
And Quina, who took after Cinccino's blond gene.
And Aliza.
Photo of the family.
THE HERTLEINS
So...Miles and Staravia didn't end up moving far. To the last apartment in the complex!
Happy housewarming.
Oh not good.
Bad timing too...the little Hertleins are here...
Crap. Crap crap crap.
