Novaris Legacy Two Point One Plus a Redux
Gen One Spouse: Evangeline by kkkayleighh, also featuring sims by: charterzard, lastj, simsforaranya, katu_sims, simchester, brookshire, teckno102, slyndsey, iolesims and probably more I missed...
Warning: This is a long and VERY picture heavy update.
SO! Remember last time, how Apple ran around wooing people and stealing the update and Jomi by lastj was a tool (in my game anyway.) Apple gave birth the Memphis and was an amazing mom even though this gen is supposed to be neglectful. Boot haunted and tormented everyone and was pissed about his bed, Evie died, Pear gave birth to Stockton and tried to find love and looked like she had a chance of it with Aspen (2nd Gen from slyndsey). OH, also Apple got pregnant with Hagley (teckno102). Memphis grew into and adorable toddler and won the poll for MVS - Most Valuable Sim in the update.
Well - NONE OF IT HAPPENED!
You see, when I tried to get back into the neighborhood the game crashed. I tried everything I know to do and no luck.I've never had that happen before unless it was CC related and that was not the case here. I had back up, but it was 3 sim days old. A lot happens in 3sim days. No more Memphis and no more Stockton. I can extract Memphis since she was a toddler but I don't think infants are extractable. :(
I'm kind of heartbroken about it, but the show must go on. So, I had to start over.
Well, here we are again. Pear is still heir, she still has a wealth secondary.
Apple is still coming along to rock the 2.5 portion of our challenge,
And both Ladies are still pregnant.
Some things are the same...
A few things are different.
She's still got it.
Information: (here is where you watch me attempt and most likely fail, at organization.)

Generation 2.5 Goals:

The woohooing, the kids and the charisma are already taken care of... I think creativity is as well but I'll have to check.
I girls decided to go green and moved into a new housing development built from shipping containers. It ended up being way more spacious than I had thought it would be but that's okay. It's different from anything else I've built so it's good for me. :p
Since I get a second chance, I figured I'd try for that optional gen one gold fishing badge. I know Evie is close, so I send her out to fish!
In the "some things stay the same" department, Apple goes into birth with in hours of being in the new house.
This time we have a boy, names Houston, with Jomi's (lastj) skin and hair color and Evie's eyes that Apple is carrying as recessive. :)
She's also still a good mom.
Haha! Yesh. I got one optional goal!
I forgot Apple is the only one of her sibs with abhorrently low cooking skill.
We never got the golden trout but I tried and for our work we have a fridge full of enough fish to probably last the whole generation.
Too bad my computer hates to show the sparklies.
Pear is still caffeinating her unborn child. And she doesn't even have that high powered career yet!
Eve gets some time in with her grand baby.
Pear: That guy's cactus is impressive.
Still no luck...
(who is that guy anyway?)
Sweetie... I think Houston is still a little young to read your diary...
SKY!!!!
Edom by iolesims is also walking by.
Hagley by teckno102 gets a call. After all, she still wants 20 loves, and he still has those fantastic ears!
As you can see, that's Claude by an_nas all grown up, and Hagley is offering us a free product.
These two hit it off as teens so I thought I see how they got along as adults.
Claude has even more free samples!
They have some chemistry but didn't seem that into it.
ACR likes these two, at least this time it's not on the heels of Evie's passing.
Pear never rolled any wants concerning Robert this time, but he called to offer more free stuff. (this is all the same day)
I love her face, and I couldn't crop it in but she has a public woohoo in her speech bubble.
Pear: Um, Robert, we had sex in a photo booth and I'm having your child, what's up with the formality?
*gulp* Have to go through this again.
I took too many pictures because Evie made such great faces.
Bye Evie. *sad*
Rest in Pea... hold on a sec! Where is Boot's urn!!! Great...
Not only did I have to watch Evangeline die a second time, I also had to endure this.
Poor Sky...
He stayed there and cried for hours. Well, sim hours.
Everyone else cried a bit and then moved on.The pregnant women were starving as usual.
OMG, it's Fifi (freudoid) She's so cute, but no one was able to greet her.
Finally!
Okay, I want you to know that I have not one time, in this generation, used the try for baby option. Not once!
Wow, are we really only on pop three?
I decided to get the girls out to meet some people more people.
Pear went straight for the music. In college she rolled instrument wants constantly but I never had enough room. Now? She wants expensive cars and a helicopter.
I'd say Apple went straight for the coffee but I think it was the young handsome coffee maker guy... what is that called? Barrister? But isn't that a lawyer... *is ignorant about coffee*
Meet Roger Knight. He deserves kudos for circumventing notownieregen. It seems my game has decided it likes very dark skinned sims with bright blue eyes. I'm okay with that, it's a nice change from all the red heads. :)
btw That's Lola Brava the Teen Version. (charterzard)
Everyone at the park swarmed up onto the stage causing me to realize I need to make it bigger.
Aren brknswitch, Simon kkkayleighh, Fawn lastj, and Mesopotamia by pixelcurious is hiding back there too.
Maddox by simchester was also there and I thought these two just might hit it off for the long haul, but while they have fun, Pear never spins any Maddox related wants. Darn, that blue skin looks good with her.
Locke by katu_sims on the baby grand back there. I bet this whole thing sounds terrible... but since my sound doesn't work, I am spared.
Meeri, our nanny. Possibly dark skinned, blue eyed AND a red head. All my game's favorite things. :) She does about as well as any nanny and better than some, but she's a drunkard.
Maddox fears Evie as a Zombie.
And Apple Novaris maxes her board. (She did last time too, I just didn't show it.)
After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I got Boot's urn back, let's hope it stays there! (where's the super glue?)
Oop, guess what time it is!?
Pear: Agony time?
A girl this time too, but with yellow skin and Pear's hair, which should be pink but I don't have v-many pink hairs so, we're out of luck. :(
Robert's eyes though and her name is Manhattan. Yes, I know it's not really a city on it's own but New York doesn't sound very good as a name.
That means it's also Houston's birthday!
Not many people there...
Alas, it's not Apple's pop that makes the party a disaster. I invited the sibs forgetting they were in the bin and wouldn't be able to come and I invited Jomi who just didn't bother to come.
Apple calls him up again and asks him and, thinking he might get laid, he rushes right over. -.-
And apparently he works in the intelligence career...
Houston finally decided he was ready to age up and Pear rushed to help him.
Since I consider the black and spots as part of Jomi's skin, I gave them to Hou.
Apple sacrifices her body to make the party a good time. Yeah... I'm sure it was a sacrifice...
I couldn't get Jomi to interact with Houston and he just strolled out the door when the sex was done, without saying good-bye, and disappeared even though Houston had this in his wants panel and was crawling after him to ask for attention. *sad face*
(it says be tickled by Jomi. I tried to chase him with the camera but it was like he teleported, he got out of there so fast!)
Pear: Go back to bed, sis, I deal with this. you need your rest.
Pear pottytraining face. :p
Thank you for the Bearly Butts Maddox!
Pear isn't exactly competent, but she tries.
I hope your not making fried food at least...
The woman is shameless!
Enough with nekkid Pear, this woman needs to get married. Finally, Aspen walks by and three bolts kick in even though they are strangers.
Some hanging out should rectify that. Meanwhile, I think a butler is befitting this gen's goals (other simmers have agreed lol)
So Apple calls Butler's R Us to order one up.
Meet Asgaroth. He could totally be a red head, we don't know. He got fired the same day because he didn't clean ANYTHING and there were flies all over the place. *shakes head*
So, how about you and I get outta here and hit the town.
LOL sauna woohoo with the walls down. :p
By the end of the date they were REALLY hitting it off.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Apple works to seduce Fred (brookshire). And in front of Mr. Bearly Butts too! (or behind I guess)
Muhahaha, but check out Pear's want panel! YES! It's about time you picked someone woman.
And this is here because i like the face she's making. (I think she's worried she won't fit into her wedding dress by the time there's a wedding.)
Still no luck for Apple on the journalism job.
Aspen, joins right in helping out with the kids.
Skillin'
Poppin'
Hi Evie!!! *waves*
Haha, nice. Just make sure you scare them after they fall in love with our girl.
Now, over due and not nearly long enough. Here is your Houston Spam!
Still helping out. I think he's thinking "Wow, Pear made this?"
Off to the Job! Go Pear! (Finally.)
Apple does not discriminate by age.
There's Mars again.
No, I'd rather focus on you right now thank you very much.
Nanny fail.
Curse that Massive Attraction.
I'm ready, promotion...
And, again, I have never hit "try for baby!" With Evie and Boot I had to use it for every kid and they were family sims!
Corrado, you're a bit young for this kind of call aren;t you? Do you know what kind of "good time" Pear and Aspen had on their date?
(charterzard) And yes, dang it, she is eating what you think she is eating... -.-
Preggo sims spam.
This is almost exactly where she had Houston.
It's also where I discover the sim blender LIED to me. I checked after the cheese cake and it said she was having one baby. (I'm sure I just checked too soon.)
Here is Jersey. A Boy with his daddy's skin and Evie's eyes. (Will this be the end of Boot's eyes in the genes?)
Also, my daughter picked the name. She insisted I inform you of this. XD
Meanwhile, poor Manhattan doesn't get a birthday. [that hair!]
Apple hands off Jersey to Aspen, funny since they still haven't officially met yet.
And pops out another boy.
Baltimore - (Joel picked that one) and I have a bad feeling he has no eyes... which means Hagley has no eyes, which means I need to fix it.
Here's Manhattan for you. That lip sticks out a LONG way from the side.
Aspen, I'm uncomfortable with you heartfarting over Apple and I worry you are trying to win her affections with that pink shirt.
Hmm... someone is a favorite.
Why has Aspen called in sick for work?
Cuz we're havin' a weddin'!
Dionysus pinkishshades, Harosheth dutchxfan, Minerva to-conjure, Nusania simsforaranya - been too long since we've seen her darn it.
Commence Wedding Spam:
Yay!
And she doesn't stuff his face. I was totally expecting her to.
While we are gone, the nanny hit the bar.
Sky is cute, even in that terrible tux.
Aspen is excited to dance with his wife.
Success.
~~ Behind the scenes:
(So, I wanted to take them off lot to get married so I could get pretty pictures and not have to deal with distractions from the kids, but I still waned to
have a wedding party. So, I had to cheat little bit and unmarry then remarry them so the party wouldn't die a horrible death. After all the work to get pretty pictures I ended up with THIS, which I love. So, it was all pointless. Enjoy the bonus picture.)
Yay for invisible wedding arch, yes?
~~ Back to Our Heroines
Aspen apparently wants to be a criminal. He's in Sports at the moment.
Off to the default honeymoon because pregnant sims on vacation are just too hard.
Slartibartfast is next on Apple's list. voleste
When these guys come back from their honeymoon they decide to sit in the street and discuss politics.
She aged up into this swimsuit, I didn't pick it!
Just cute face again.
They've got their hands full.
We rehired the Butler, kept the nanny and the maid. Seems to work. Lucky for Houston, since the Asgaroth is the only one who ever pays attention to him.
Pear spins many Manhattan wants.
And commence toddler spam, in which Manhattan is featured.
That mouth!!!!
Look at that underbite. Hopefully mommy's new job has dental?
I feel bad I never got that many pictures of poor Houston. Here's one though:
Still no journalism jobs - no criminal jobs for Aspen either.
At least the butler loves him.
And here I told myself that this gen would have maybe two kids... Ha HAHAHAHA
A girl, all daddy. Lexington.
Another girl, Aspen's skin, Pear's eyes and Boot's black hair. ( I think)
Aspen: *stretch groan* Mmm what's going on? Did I miss something.
Pear: *laughs softly* Oh, nothing much...
Aspen: *sleepily* Mmm, that's good...
Aspen: Wait a second...
Asgaroth: Would you like me to take the baby for you sir?
Aspen: *in awe* No, that's okay, I've got her.
Cuteness!
Hey, it's the sibs... (except I keep forgetting Nusania because she's so far down on Apple's list. I don't know why...)
This must mean...
It's birthday time. And yes, I invited Jomi again and again he did. not. come. (tool)
But the butler wants to give Hou one last bottle before the big transition.
Asgaroth: *sniff* My little baby is growing up. *sniff*
Everyone: Whoo! Grow little guy, you can do it!
Asgaroth: *pouts*
He's so Jomi. Handsome though.
Good looking bunch.
Of course when Apple calls him he runs right over hoping it's a booty call.
Hou and Cloud hit it off with a few jokes.
I don't think I see Apple in there anywhere.
He's still cute though. Auntie Plum finds him HI-larious.
Finally, father and son meet.
Hou leads with the one about the ocean liner... you've all heard that one right?
Jomi seems into it.
Jomi: *Laughs* That was terrible!
Hou: *giggles* I know right?
YAY!!!!
Hou: Dad, did you know that you and me and mom, we all came from another planet!
Jomi: Well, I'm pretty sure you were made on this planet little man.
Non autonomous, but at least he didn't say no.
Okay! That's it. No fun cliffhangers or anything but we're caught up and ready for 2.2.
