Wow. That whole update was awesome. Cambia you dog, you filthy dog. Juggling five men and not caring that they all know and disapprove. Oh James, I made you, but I renounce your behavior! If this was turn of last century I'd be more worried he was waiting for Brie to grow up so he could marry her. X_x

Also I always thought it was up to the individual player whether or not they changed number at the birth of the next generation or when the heir was chosen. If not I've been doing it wrong this entire time. 0.o

Yay for no birthday misshaps. Boo for legacy hair. Yay for Beastly having a second mouth. No wait. So is Zephyr the heir or are you goign to wait until the youngun's make it to teen or some such? Poor girl is so much older than them.

Also for the record I agree about how to get into my heart. Sexy stares all the way.

Great update! I'm looking forward to more. Also eeee! More gnome movement! That egyptian gnome looks awesome. *is covetous*

Aww, thank you. I was a bit worried that I hadn't written it too well as I wasn't feeling the best, yesterday. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I was a little surprised at both of them. It's like Rae is some kind of man magnet, I had no hand in starting the flirting at all. And James, well! He continues to slightly shock me, at times he can appear quite sweet and the next... just what was he doing watching Brie getting ready for bed? He does make for interesting watching when I'm playing though, thank you for making and sharing him.

I wasn't sure about the numbering at all. It just seems like I'm never going to change it to generation 2, lol. I'm trying to wait until all the children become young adults before announcing heir - but yep, she is so much older than her siblings ;(

The gnome is great, isn't he? There are other sorts too! I'd found a way to unlock the tents and discovered the gnomes at the bottom of the buy list and just had to have one :D

Thanks very much for reading and commenting :D

You'll get to gen 02. Rae can't have more children! Since Zephyr is a YA already and the others have just turned child age are you going to call the heir poll when they hit teen years?

Not that it matters. I'm team Zephyr myself. Watch once you've gotten the next heir chosen it'll go a lot faster. Just watch out for birthday cake. <.<

Seriously. Are you going to put James with the boys when he passes away or do you think Brie would exact revenge against his gravestone?

I think it will have to be when they reach teen - though I have found a life fruit tree (when Rae was house hopping in one of the challenges) I just keep forgetting to check to see if it has fruited.

James, for all his faults, is still Wens father so it seems proper that he has a funeral and that his urn comes to the house, at least for a while - oh and he should be buried with the others. I'm concerned though, at the house, about just how he will behave! It could be interesting finding out. He's been talking about death but no pop-ups to say that he is not long for the world. He really is a character. Not sure I'd like to know him in r/l though, lol.

James kepts shocking me, he gets weirder and weirder... Poor Wens and his third lip.

James really is rather creepy. If this were real life, I'm not sure I'd want him around at all.

I hope Wens grows out of that third lip.

Thank you for reading and commenting :D

I don't think you're numbering them wrong as such. I always change the gen number when the next heir takes over, and not before. :D SO I think you're fine ^_^

I LOVE reading this legacy, like HARD CORE! I got so excited when I got the notification of this update that I squealed and scared the bejeebus out of my cat.... ^_^;; xD

Lol - thank you and aw, poor cat... though if you want to come round and scare Baggy (my cat) you are more than welcome as the horrible herbert has just chewed through the cable on yet another mouse!

I'll leave the numbering as is then - as both you and Perchalicious think it's okay.

Thanks again for your kind comments :D

Zephyr just gets more and more beautiful each time I see her.

Yeah for at least one birthday that did not have something tragic happen. Apparently I forgot that Rae was flirty because I was shocked at all of the men she was going after in one chapter until you mentioned this. I now know not to use that on characters unless that is my intention for there extracurricular activities ;-)

She does, doesn't she. SimmyTizzy's Cambia and BondChick-Nett's Gizor blended for a beautiful girl. I wish that she'd had more with him - but it appeared that she no longer liked him as much once I'd accidentally aged him to elder.

I was surprised too, especially as when I started this there didn't seem to be as much autonomous flirting going on - at the beginning, when she was a young adult, the guys she met mostly said she was 'behaving inappropriately'. Maybe it also has something to do with Devon and Kii's personalities - the combination? All I know was that I was initially very surprised... Rae has no remorse over the broken hearts.

Thanks very much for reading and commenting.

Great read (as always).

Rae is a bit of a tramp. And her string of men are more than a little dumb, trailing her around like puppies. Such DRAMA.

You have a lot of great "in the background" pics, too (like some sim in the background is thinking something funny--and appropriate). The one that caught me the most was Zephyr doing the finger over her lips ("shh" motion) during one of the spots of love drama. Like "shhh, I want to hear what's going on".

While Zephyr is very pretty, I'm loving Brie. Her chubby face is adorable (and her transition picture reminds me of the middle daughter in the t.v. show "Medium" http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2186910464/nm1833884 )

Egyptian gnome? Now that's cool (and bravo to you for avoiding a "Walk Like and Egyptian" reference--well done, madame).

The actress you linked too -- what a cutie! omg! I don't usually squee over random children (if they're not sims) but she is adorable.

And in the show (Medium) she's the middle daughter who's a bit of a tom boy and kind of weird, which only makes her that much more adorable.

I see what you mean about Brie. I liked that show and the middle daughter was wonderful, came across so cute with a great personality.

Oh no, now you've done it!

Re the background - it's like they are all aware of what is going on. I'm actually getting better pleased with TS3 because of this challenge, I'm enjoying how the sims are surprising me with their actions. Though I have to say, I'm finding James to be very dark and disturbing at times. I haven't really recovered from finding him watching Brie get into bed. Methinks I should get some curtains.

Thanks again for reading and for your coments :D
