Livingston Legacy 3.3
I am back once again! This generation is actually going by pretty fast, I think it might end up having more updates than usual though since Lysander and Leyla took a bit to actually get together and have kids. Anyway, last time around the twin girls aged up, baby Lynley was born, and Reuben & Byron both had kids with their respective partners. So, lets get started then!
Keziah: Awwww...my baby's all grown up!
Ly & Leyla: *are oblivious*
Kez, maybe you should give them a bit of space? Mkay?
I don't feel quite safe with the way Lysander's flinging those knives around.
Poor Kez is all lonely and tired since James died.
Speaking of James...
He's appeared as a ghost! A ghost who's favorite pass time is watching people sleep. Not creepy at all.
Being as she has the bodybuilder aspiration Abeline spends a lot of time doing this.
And this.
And this. Nice hair darlin'.
Leyla had a whim to visit the gym.
Leyla: MUST. LOSE. BABY FAT.
What baby fat? Seriously Leyla, of all my sims you've gained the very least amount of weight since giving birth.
On a side note, hey Penny and Aylin! On another side note, I downloaded a new gym from the gallery, it's the MILLENIUM by Morgana40 I believe.
Abeline: Muahahahahaha!
Abeline needed to go to the gym for her aspiration, so she tagged along with Leyla. She had the option to do an 'evil workout', which I guess means she laughs maniacally as she exercises? I dunno.
Abeline has some pretty intense workout faces.
Abeline: MUST. BECOME. BUFF. SUPER VILLAIN.
Joyce was also at the gym looking intense.
Joyce: Arrggghhhh!!!!
Lynley is the best baby in the history if the world. She NEVER cries. Like ever. That's also a bad thing though, as I never know if she needs something until I get a notification saying she's starving and is going to get taken by social services if she isn't fed soon. I also pretty much forget she exists half the time because she's so quiet, so there isn't much for pictures of her as a baby.
Cecily: I HATE MY LIFE!!!!
K, you need to calm down and maybe take a shower. Also, stop breaking the sink!
Leyla's artist abilities appear to be diminishing. I can't believe she's actually been promoted.
Cecily is still attached to the computer.
Abeline's bodybuilder aspiration gives her the ability to drink an energy drink.
Abeline: Wooooooo!!!! Chemically induced energy for the win!!!!!
These two are constantly getting whims to woohoo with each other, so I just let them. Whatever. As long as Leyla doesn't get pregnant again. I don't want another baby quite yet.
This is Reuben's son Colten. He walked by the house one day and I remembered that there are other members of the family now.
Lysander is doing awesome at leveling his mixology skill and can now do this neat little trick.
Abeline: Stupid bear!
While Abeline rages at Blarffy, Lynley begins to sparkle...
Lynley's a child now!
Lynley: Yay! I won't be ignored anymore!
Well...that depends. But, moving on!
Lynley is cheerful and has the rambunctious scamp aspiration. I can't really decide if she takes more after her mom or dad. What do you guys think? She's pretty cute regardless.
The first thing Lynley does as a child is go to sleep. Because spending the entirety of your life up to this point stuck in a bassinet sleeping all the time would exhaust anyone.
Unlike most Livingstons before her, Lynley actually gets a bed of her own right away. Complete with fully furnished bedroom. Because we actually have money for once since our heir isn't constantly having whims to quite their job. *cough*Keziah*cough*
I also bought a lump of clay with our new found fortune (fortune being a relative term here). Cecily is now addicted to it and it's pretty much the only thing she does now. Nobody else even gets a chance to use it ever.
Cecily: I hate you for now apparent reason even though I literally never talk to you!!!
Leyla: I'm confused...and slightly offended...
Since Keziah was running out of time in her life, I decided it was about time she actually meet the rest of her grandkids.
Leyla tagged along because she had nothing better to do.
Keziah & Cataleya: *size each other up*
Keziah: I'm Keziah, your grandmother.
Cat: Cool.
Keziah: Well this is boring.
Hush. And maybe, I don't know, maybe talk to your grandchildren!
While Keziah failed at bonding with her grandkids, Leyla attempted to befriend Aylin.
Aylin was less than receptive.
Aylin: Why are you in my house?
Jayla: Yes! I have an actual, real, live grandma!
Back at home I found Lynley doing dishes. She's a really good kid, I love her <3
Lysander was promoted to Line Cook! One more promotion and he'll be able to enter the mixologist career branch.
Part of the rambunctious scamp aspiration is typing, so Lynley got to work on that.
The obligatory pic of Lynley of the monkey bars. I seriously think I have at least 2 pictures of each of the kids in this legacy on the monkey bars. Probably because it's pretty much the only toy they have.
Abeline: Why do you always have to be so good!!! I hate good sims!!!
Leyla: Calm down Abeline, I'm sure we can learn to get along!
Lynley: This is way better than tv.
So, I forgot that Abeline is evil and Leyla is good, and the two generally don't mix well. Whenever they get anywhere near each other they end up with tense moodlets.
Leyla: Oh hey honey! I didn't see you there...
Abeline: *mumbles* Stupid good sims...
Keziah: Please...someone help me! I'm too awesome to die!
Meanwhile both Lynley and Cecily are completely oblivious.
Eventually Lynley got her butt in gear and begged Grim to spare Keziah.
Lynley: Please Mr.Reaper, don't take my grandma from me!
Cecily continued to do her homework completely oblivious to her dying grandmother. Nerd.
Keziah: Why am I glowing and floating?
Because Abeline is extremely persuasive and convinced Grim to leave you alive for a little longer.
And Cecily still has no clue what's going on. That must be some pretty intense homework.
Lysander: Honey, why is there a black cloud of death swallowing me?
Leyla: Don't be ridiculous Lysander, who ever heard of a black cloud of death?
Leyla: I think it might be time to give Lynley a sibling.
Lysander: That means we get to woohoo right?
Leyla: Yes.
Lysander: Sounds like an awesome idea!
Leyla: Yay! Babies!
Ah, baby Leyla. Not Babies. Only one at a time please.
This time around I think I'd like a boy. And no multiples! Keziah gave me more than enough of those.
I missed the whole confetti thing, so have a baby bump instead.
Keziah: I'm so proud of you son. You have a good job and a beautiful family. You'll take good care of this legacy.
Keziah got to live long enough to see Lysander age into an adult. You can just see the excitement on her face.
Lynley: Yay! My daddy's getting old!
I gave Ly a bit of a makeover to make him look more like an adult.
Oh dear. Not again.
This time Leyla was the only one around to witness Keziah's death.
R.I.P. Keziah. You were pretty cool, even if you weren't really all that responsible or successful. You did have a lot of pretty kids though. As usual pretty much everyone is oblivious to the death.
Cataleya came over and Abeline got to know her cousin better while playing on the monkey bars.
Since we actually have a fair amount of money to spare for once, I made this corner into a little lounge type area. I thought it would be nice for parties and stuff. No one uses it though.
I also bought this weight machine thing. Abeline needed one to help with her aspiration, and I thought it'd be nice to have one in the house for everyone. It's a bit of a nuisance having to go to the gym all the time for a proper workout.
I also bought this cupcake factory just to mess around with. I'll probably sell it again right away, but it's kind of neat.
Lysander and Leyla are adorable, as always.
I had Lysander try out the cupcake factory and make 'The Baconing' cupcakes. Which I promptly sold.
Lysander: Look! They aren't falling this time!
Ly levelled up mixology again and has another new trick.
Lynley: Ouch! My face! Stupid pony!
Hey, maybe you shouldn't be swinging that thing around all over the place like a madwoman.
Lynley: No, I think the pony's out to get me. It stares at me while I sleep.
Oy vey!
Cecily has awesome grades in school, and Abeline's suck. I don't really understand why because they do the same amount of homework.
Father-daughter dance party!
Lysander: The things I do for my daughter.
This picture is here just because I think Leyla's a cutie when she's painting while pregnant <3
I guess brushing their teeth gives sims the confident moodlet, which is good for gaining charisma skill.
Lysander needs charisma for the mixology career, so after brushing his teeth for a confidence boost, he started practicing speech in front of the mirror.
Keziah's back! In ghost form of course.
Keziah: Lynley's ignoring me. *pouts*
Yeah, because she's a good girl who wants to get her schoolwork done.
Leyla's going to pop any minute now.
Awww...Keziah and James have been reunited as ghosts <3
That's all I've got for now. I should have another update posted soon. Next time around I promise there will be a new baby. Thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone who's been reading and commenting so faithfully. The support really means a lot to me!
