Last Time: Lee gave birth to twins, Ira and Kevin. One of the co-heirs, Eb, proved that he and his wife, Neve, were meant to be thanks to their ditzy natures, while other co-heir, Marley, proved he and his husband, Lee, were meant to be simply because they couldn't stop macking. Eb and Neve's daughter, Zoe, was adorable and liked attention and the color blue.
Eb and Neve are still very much in love as well.
Eb: You're so wonderful that I don't even care that you lack the basic skills to function in a regular life as something other than a sim.
Neve: And you're so handsome even though you're just as smart as I am.
True love.
Marley: Throwing children is fun!
Neve: OW. You know, some people actually need their brains to use.
She does have her moments of brilliance, or simple competence.
I'm choosing to see this as a cute father-mother moment - we've had too much "that is not your spouse so get out of that bed!" moments in the past for me to mind when they're actually related At least nothing can happen.
In related news, I finished updating old Photobucket-hosted pictures in this legacy and got to see just how much grief Scot (spouse of the first heir, Sophia) and Christy (spouse of her son and our third generation heir, Max) put me through.
Now that Zoe has grown up and aged out of the nursery, she gets her own room, with plenty of purple (hmm, I wonder what color this generation is? - I really should have just made this a color legacy from the beginning, it basically is).
She still spends some time in the nursery, though - that's where the fun things are.
Zoe: I promise I'm not a violent person, but do you think I could whip up some sort of cake that maybe... gets rid of the twins?
Nope, not violent and scary at all.
Zoe: No, I couldn't - well - no, I couldn't do that at all.
Zoe: Ah, no one would eat this, evil plans or not.
Well, boys, you're safe for at least a little longer.
Ira is blissfully unaware of any nefarious plans.
Also, I am easily amused and Ira is apparently hungry.
I can see why Zoe feels so threatened by the twins - they are pretty adorable.
Kevin: Why won't this bat do my bidding?!
Oh lord, it's another one - Ira, please remain sweet and kind and non-threatening.
And now it's going to be easier for Kevin to really compete with Zoe - I'm not sure who to root for and who to be scared for.
Ira: With these big hands, I can play with a lot more toys and give better hugs!
Thank you, Ira, don't change.
Um, Ira, I wouldn't do that with Kevin if I were you.
No bodily harm happened - aww, Kevin has a soft spot for his twin.
No, you're my sweet one!
Don't worry, though, he was just a bit cranky because he's tired and there apparently weren't any open beds. He might be a sweet kid, but he is NOT sharing a bed, thank you very much.
See? Even these twins had to share a bed. Also, Eb seems to be the opposite of his nephew - doesn't like NOT sharing a bed, apparently.
If Zoe is going to take over the world, or at least this family and its focus, then she needs to get some skills, such as chess. Lee decides to help his niecebecause he's apparently as smart as his in-laws.
Zoe: Hey, is that Uncle Marley calling you from your bedroom?
Lee: My love wants me?
Lee: Hmm, she's very clever - this isn't going to be good for me, is it?
Probably not.
Neve: Sweet dreams, my dear son.
He's not your son, he's your nephew.
Neve: Still a touching moment, though, right?
Yes, I suppose.
She's less of a threat when she has this look on her face, huh? It was kind of stuck like this the whole time she played with the train set, but it was too adorable for me to care.
Neve: You know, having babies isn't all that bad. It's one day of throwing up, two days of waddling, and about half an hour of excruciating pain, and then you have a cute bundle of blue hair and freckles!
Kevin: Um, all I did was ask if I really had to go to bed already because it wasn't that late.
Apparently the topic stuck with Kevin long after the first conversation.
Neve might not be the smartest cookie, but she has wants and dreams, and one of those is to get her daughter into private school, so I decided to give it a shot - with most of my gameplay centering on my BACC, I haven't tried to get into private school for a while, so why not?
Moss: So, why do you want your children to go to a private school? Won't that just make them all into mindless guppies who follow the crowd and have no thoughts of their own?
Moss: Sounds like a silly waste of money to me.
Melody: I know it's a little late, but who did I marry?
In spite of the wonderful dinner conversation, but tour and food got them one point away from the 90 points - come on, it's down to your schmoozing abilities, Neve!
Oh no, we're in trouble.
But apparently, while she has no smarts, Neve does have luck on her side - she got her daughter and nephews into private school AND saw a ghost, which was apparently a good thing in her book.
Not so much in her daughter's mind.
Zoe: My plans are now extending to the undead. Now, excuse me while I look for an adult to keep me safe.
Zoe: Look, I got good grades at my new school! They've recognized my superior intellect!
Neve: Yes, our baby got her smarts from her grandparents! Well, her grandmother maybe.
And here's the grandfather who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut - his mouth is currently open in shock because THINGS ARE HAPPENING (aka, it's his birthday).
Moss: Eh, just means that I can really say whatever I want without anyone caring because I'm an Elderly Person.
Melody: You know, random child, a pearl necklace would go well with that boring tank top. You might just be a kid, but there's no reason to be boring with fashion.
Random Child: I should have listened to my parents and never gotten on the bus with a Dasani.
You live and you learn, random child.
Why so glum, Melody? You could put a nice pearl necklace with that outfit and fancy it up!
*is still pretty*
*is not wearing a pearl necklace*
*missed an opportunity*
Yes, you're pretty cute too in your old age.
NOT YOUR BED!
I don't know why I bother finding it surprising when people end up in the wrong bed anymore.
Yes, focus on your empty stomach and not on your naked son.
What a frightening glitch - please tell me something isn't wrong with the house. I quite like it and don't want to move.
Our little mastermind has grown up, but without her blue hair!
Zoe: Trust me, someone will pay for this.
Here's our beautiful teenaged Zoe. She's a Knowledge sim - and I think we all know what kind of knowledge she wants...
That's it for this update! Hopefully the next one will be up sooner than six months (and yes, I seem to say that at the end of EVERY Dasani post at this point. Oops?
