Founder Isabella has died

It's been a busy day. Jethan and Athena grew up into toddlers, and my founder Isabella passed away.

It's toddler heaven here! A brand new set of toys, potty training chairs and everything else that a toddler could ever want. They even have a brand new extension to the living room to hold everything!

Hannah just had a birthday and grew into a Mature Adult.

Third generation heir Kevin has just grown up into a child. Unfortunately he was given the trait Mean Spirited.

Even though Kevin is still just a boy, he already knows what his Lifetime Wish is. Kevin wants to be The Emperor of Evil! This means that he wants to reach level 10 of the evil branch of the criminal career track.

No new Legacy points earned.

Birthdays and Weddings and Babies galore!

Mom Isabella has painted a portrait of her daughter Hannah and it is hanging in the living room. One legacy point earned.

Andrew has decided that his Lifetime Wish is to be a Rock Star. Good to start out young knowing what you want to do, right?

At long last Hannah has found a husband! Well, ok, he's an elder so he may not be around for long but that drive to have children was just too much for her to bear. She married Hal, her boss and is pregnant already. With luck Hal will be around long enough to have a second child with her.

It's a boy! Hannah has had a son named Kevin. He was randomly assigned the traits Hates the Outdoors and Genius.

Not wanting to waste any time, Hannah is pregnant again. She is focused on that goal of having a daughter to carry on the family name!

Andrew has grown up in a joint birthday party with his girlfriend Quiana. He randomly chose the trait of Coward.

Andrew and Quiana chose to get married at a young age, just after high school in fact. Turns out that Quiana has a very similar Lifetime Wish to Andrew and is also a Family Oriented sim so she wants to have lots of children. They were meant for each other!

Isabella has just gained enough aspiration points to recieve one Legacy point!

Two Legacy points earned: A portrait of Hannah, and Isabella earned 100,000 aspiration points

Disaster and moving on

Disaster: something happened to my saved game one night and I lost about ten sim days worth of playing! I took a break for a while but I'm tentatively playing again.

Little Hannah is all grown up! Hannah has just grown from a teenager into a young adult at a small, private party with just her family. I randomly assigned her the trait Childish.

Hannah has chosen the International Spy Lifetime Wish. She wants to reach level 10 of the Law Enforcement career path.

Andrew is now a teenager and has chosen the family trait of Schmoozer.

A Mysterious Benefactor has given the family $105,431! I have no idea why but I'm slightly worried that it is related to my earlier loss of saved game. Being such a Good and generous soul, Andrew has decided to donate all of the money to charity.

Well that sucks – I can only donate $1000 each day! Even with two sims doing it (good and evil) it would still take me 50 sim days to get rid of all that cash. Screw it – I'm keeping it!

Poor Hannah is having a lot of trouble finding a husband. All the men in this town are OLD!

Tom, the founder's mate, has died. In her grief, Isabella tried to convince the grim reaper not to take her husband away. They ended up having a very nice conversation. Isabella talked about her husband Tom and Grim talked about hamburgers. Turns out Grim has a Good Sense of Humor.

Portaits

Little brother Andrew had a small birthday party with just his family and is now a child. I randomly assigned him the trait of Hot Headed. Great, sister is grumpy and brother is hot headed, this can't be going anywhere good!

Isabella has raised her painting skill high enough to do portraits (still life). She has loving created one of her husband Tom and also created a self portrait of herself. They are both hanging in the living room – two legacy points earned.

Lifetime Wish

Hoping to encourage Hannah's artist side, Dad has bought her a gift: a brand new easel!

It's a boy! Sure enough, that one night of frolicking has resulted in a beautiful baby boy named Andrew. Andrew was born with the Good trait and I used randomize to give him the Virtuoso trait. Because I am playing a Matriarchy, little Andrew will be neither heir nor spare but his parents love him anyway.

Hannah objected loudly to having to share a bedroom with her new little brother so Andrew now has his own bedroom.

Double birthday party! Hannah grew into a teenager and little brother Andrew grew into a toddler. They grow up so fast! I was finally able to give Hannah the family trait of Schmoozer. Next thing you know Hannah will be looking for a boyfriend..

Isabella has completed her Lifetime Wish of becoming a CEO in the Business career track! One more Legacy point for the family!She bought the Moodlet Manager with her points and has now spent 80,000 points. Let's see if she can earn enough in her lifetime to earn a Legacy point for them all!
