Deline Legacy, Generation 7.2!
Last time, Cassidy and Ria moved home. Ria married her longtime boyfriend, Darryl, in the kitchen (which annoyed Desiree as they were in her way). Cassidy met Zion, and the two of them hit it off after I forced them together. Ria and Darryl had a son, Ryan. Cassidy and Zion had twins, Patrick and Zuri. Naomi passed away, and Desiree and Joseph got old. We left off with all three children as toddlers, since Ryan was born merely a couple of hours after the twins.
Desiree cares very much about her family. She wants the young ones to learn their important skills, and she wants to see the spiritual remnants of her parents.
Granted, it looks like Cassidy is actually doing all of the teaching work herself right now.
It's not Ria's fault she still works a day job.
Besides, it's more efficient to have one person put all the kids on the pot in succession.
So, three grandkids, that should make you pretty satisfied, right, Joseph?
But my new lifetime aspiration is to have six of these!
Luckily for me, you're already permaplat so I don't care about your new lifetime goals!
Since Patrick and Zuri don't seem to have showcased the best of these two's genes, they try for another one. Besides, Zion wants to have three college-educated children.
Welp, that was great honey, I'm off too work!
Cassidy's underwear + Her hair = Still Lulzy. I have something about sims wearing that hair getting randomized into topless undies. The same thing happened with Zoe Randolph nee Dork.
Somehow, this family still hasn't gotten the Art career camera reward, so I stick a photobooth in their garage. I wish my sims just took autonomous photobooth pictures for me. It'd be like a fabulous decorative surprise.
Wait one second, why can't HE have the babies?
Because I'll only be arsed to artificially inseminate my couple if they are gay? It's called ~biology~, sweetheart.
Don't worry, Desiree doesn't just think about being a caring grandmother, she actually does it.
Not only is Ria awesome enough to be permaplat and get me another journalism statuette, she brought home Gotherella! You go girl!
And what are all of Cassidy and Ria's other sisters doing here in creepily matching outerwear with Voila Viola?
Cassidy, as heir, gets to have a real wedding. And yes, Evie, she is marrying her baby-daddy. Stop judging.
Jessie is wearing the most inappropriate dress to wear to a wedding that you aren't getting married at. Luckily, Cass and Zion only have eyes for each other.
Joseph, one of the fruits of your loins is getting MARRIED like you've been wishing. It's probably not the time to be fuming over something as trivial as a failed burglary attempt from ten years ago.
Your sister managed to get married and not be in the way. Why couldn't you?
Can't you give it a rest? I mean, at least I'm married?
It's not my fault no one loves me!
Aw, Alexis. D:
Man, I'm totally going to recreate this scene for my wedding photographer if I ever get married!
Well, I would if that didn't interfere with my "fuck spending money on a wedding, I want to go elope in Hawaii or the Bahamas or some shit" plans. Now, I just need a man!
You know, if I had known this would have been your reaction to cake, we could've skipped this part.
Zion is such a little sweetheart though, isn't he?
So, I'm going to have my own cooking contest show on television! :D
Cassidy's not talking about the future with her new husband or anything like that. She's talking about carrying on her grandparents' legacy of making bizarre dishes out of secret ingredients.
It's so great that my sister had an outdoor wedding, so I could use the pool.
Jessie. It may only be the first day of winter, so I didn't mind using the arch outside, it's still winter.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of the Deline family Polar Bear club.
Another one is hitched. So, hoping it doesn't take too long for the others?
Nah, they're educated, which is good enough for me. Well, I hope they have more grandbabies.
Joseph has his priorities sort-of straight.
Someday everybody will be at my wedding!
The chances of that happening are approximately zero, Alexis.
It's nice to know that Gotherella considers herself part of the family. Maybe I should actually load her lot and let her have that baby she's been incubating for about 75 years now.
You have other toilets, don't be hating on Gotherella, now. OR THINKING ABOUT YOUR SISTER'S HUSBAND, RIA
Where were the kids during this whole shindig? The best place possible!
So, do you remember that hot-ass crazy druggie bitch Naomi?
Oh yeah, damn she was fiiiiiiiine when she was high.
And when she was drunk!
I was so jealous.
If you're going to go to the trouble to fake being scared, you should make it more believable.
Look, how can you be scared of something that hot? I hope he visits more often.
Hurry, before Zion leaves without you!
Did you lock the door?
Oops, must have been a reflex.
At least they didn't meld into some creepo conglomerate of themselves.
GUYS IT'S LIKE 30 DEGREES GET OUT OF THE WATER
I know that when I come back from my hypothetical elopement honeymoon, my first priority will be to have sex in a photobooth.
And yes, the kids eventually woke up, they weren't drugged or anything, just very timely sleepers.
I swear, I went from a generation where all the kids were a clone of one parent or the other, to a generation where I can see no family resemblance aside from Joseph's dominant eyes.
So, sex makes babies. More biology lessons for you, Cass!
I will kill him.
Don't muss your wedding dress.
I so did not know that toddlers could play with the brick! I mean, why would they? (All right, why would anyone...)
Obviously, Cassidy thinks her gown is a loss at this point, after kneeling in vomit.
She's pretending she's happy about this.
I am going to give a Mizz Brick to each one of my children, and they can cherish it forever! I know I loved the one my mom made me!
Your mom also made you a spin-around, water-wiggler, several kites, a jack-in-the-box, and some firetrucks.
I love this brick!
Seriously, though, where the fuck did these kids' faces come from?
No, Ria, you can't go on vacation. I don't have that EP. And, even if I did, I wouldn't be sending you there with your sister's husband. What happened to your BFF deal with her, anyway?
What's up, bayyyyby?
You got me knocked up again, you jerk.
You know I love you best when you're expecting!
You're lucky my hormones are raging right now!
I don't know what's creepier here, the toy, or HAWT PUFFY VEST'S continued child-stalking.
Um, Joseph, I know this may sound strange to you, but wrenches work better when you actually place them around the piece you want to tighten.
...I see this is a lost cause.
INVISIPOP
And then one of the people that came home from work died, because he was in the pool for about 36 hours. (It wasn't HAWT PUFFY VEST.)
I like a chilly dip every now and then, but I think that guy took it too far!
Look, all I said was 'Do you want to come have a couple of beers and maybe watch the game,' and I thought he just went home as soon as he saw all the babies. I didn't know he was going to die!
Desiree shows us she was not kidding about the dip, and I am NOT kidding when I say that she should not be wearing a bikini at her age!
Luckily, I had this resurrecto-phone on the lot because someone had earned the damn thing, so we will eliminate the possibility of a puddle-rage ghost here and now.
Yeah, dude, I'm surprised you didn't lose any of your appendages to frost-bite, too.
Darryl is now best buds with Tarek, the moron who will be retownified and sent home immediately, lest he decide to drown again today.
Still-pregnant Gotherella is here for another Deline birthday party!
After some of the glitchiest cake tossing ever, we got them all grown up! Patrick continues to look like no one.
Zuri looks less SCARY, and also unresemble-y.
I don't think Ryan looks much like his parents, either.
Cassidy loves to go to work, so she went even though she's like 9 months pregnant. Patrick is all "LOOK MOMMY I CAN REACH ABOVE YOUR KNEES NOW!"
I gave him more winter-appropriate attire.
He rewards me by generating the best UI picture ever.
Oh look who just realized she was dead! HI NAOMI
All right guys, I totally lied about Zuri not looking evil any more.
Seriously, though, whose kids are all these?
Patrick defies all signs and does not build me an evil snowman.
He does like to camp in his sister's bedroom and look pissy, though. You are a shame to your namesake! He was slaughtering innocent animals already at your age!
Zuri likes her cousin better than her twin. I don't know why, they're two pissy-looking peas in a pod.
Look what Mommy gave me!
At least her children appreciated the gift?
And just as the kids leave for their first day of school, giving us a bit of peace and quiet...
...someone goes into labor.
Okay, I need to set you all up with my thought process here at this very moment. The best way to do that is to quote my post to capslock_sims right after this happened:
FYI:
IF YOUR SIM IS GIVING BIRTH
AND YOU THINK TO YOURSELF "I HAVE NEVER HAD QUADS, WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF SHE HAD QUADS?"
THE ANSWER IS NO, IT'S NOT FUNNY
SO DON'T EVER THINK THAT
OH SHIT GUYS I MADE THE GAME DO THINGS USING MY MIND AGAIN
This is Kati, who has brown hair and light skin and...well, you remember Andrew? He married the Gen 2 heir? Well, he had Maxisy eyes and I deleted them a couple weeks ago thinking they were surely bred out of the family by now!
So she'll have light green eyes instead of the ones on her skintone the next time you see her.
This is Rissy. Brown hair, light skin, Zion's eyes.
Marta! Tan skin, Brown hair, Zion's eyes.
It only took 3/4 quads to make Joseph happy for life AGAIN!
The last baby is YET ANOTHER GIRL, Laurel, with Joseph's light blue eyes, light skin, and brown hair. The maid is all, "At least one of these will grow up to be hot and hook up with me, right?"
I don't know, you managed to not hook up with any of the five girls from last generation, dude!
Patrick somehow senses that something is not right in the house and is determined to entertain himself outside in the six feet of snow.
Ria congratulates her son for growing up, because it means she can fully enjoy the fact that her sister now has four infants.
YOU CAN'T HAVE A BABY WITH RIA YOU ALREADY HAVE ABOUT FIVE CHILDREN TOO MANY
So, in case you haven't noticed from the lack of talk about them, I hope you weren't too attached to Ria's family, because they are getting their own place so I don't completely lose it.
They got their own nice huge house that totally wasn't funded by giant checks from the legacy household.
And I don't know if it'll come up again, but I finally fixed Darryl and Ryan's eyes so they actually have some.
Cassidy and Zion: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BABIES?
Zion obviously has super-sperm, though multiples would be more impressive in a family that had more than like five single births total.
Now that Ryan is moved out, Zuri actually interacts with her brother. They hilariously aged up into the same pajamas. YAY TWINS
Cassidy done lost her mind.
Not as much as Zion, though!
Oh, penguin, don't you know that it's bad form to talk about politics? It only leads to arguments and pain!
Yes, Pat, that's a toilet! You're so smart.
Oh, was that toilet in the way of you being a LITTLE SHIT like your sister?
LOL IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY GUYS
So, I tried to do all four at once, but damn it's hard to get four adults to get four babies around four cakes at...you get the picture.
Here's some aging up into questionable outfits and hair, and then we'll make with the makeovers and shit so you know who is who.
This is Kati. Don't worry, she'll grow into that face (I checked).
Laurel. Ditto on the face.
Marta gets mad points for growing up into the genetic combination of the character she was named after.
I guess Rissy doesn't like this Princess Leia hair bullshit. Too bad, it's cute!
Marta also gets some points for looking identifiably like one of her parents. She's got most of Zion's features, but I think she's got her mother's nose.
So, soon they'll be talking, and off to college!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I'll be satisfied if you can get them toilet trained.
Great, Zuri's already been neglected enough to take her great-grandmother's path to entertainment.
With a night job that's only a couple nights a week, Desiree is put on SMART MILK MAKING duty. We have way too damn many mouths to feed, and smart milk can sit out without spoiling.
The changing table is in the hallway and the toddler toys are in the other kids' rooms. This is AWESOME.
I think Patrick has his father's cheekbones! I identified a feature!
The only party Joseph has had was your wedding, I think.
Yeah, well he made it awesome!
You know, I totally thought Joseph might make some funny looking kids, but he has been thoroughly beat in that department by Zion.
Which makes me sad because Zion is so adorable. :/
HO SHIT I am actually managing to teach them things besides where to shit.
Of course, quads in a normal legacy is a cakewalk after triplets in an ISBI. Plus, Patrick, Zuri, and Ryan were practically like triplets themselves.
More cute because quads deserve some toddler spam lovin' too.
So Mom, the bricks are nice and all, but can we get some other toys?
You may find this hard to believe, even, but...
...I think the quads are going to learn all their toddler skills!
---------------------------------------------------
QUADRUPLETS. ALL GIRLS. Statistically speaking, we are probably looking at a female heir again. The quads are cuter than Zuri and Patrick, and I like the really recessive eyes on Kati, and Marta is not pale like the past several generations have been, and yeah. But we'll see.
