Just a quick note before I start!
I have been playing around with my images and things, so if you notice a bit of a change in my picture quality/style, that's why.
Made the pictures a bit smaller, and hopefully a bit faster loading?!?
Anyway, enjoy!
(and yes, updating twice in the space of two days - don't get used to it! I'm just trying to catch up to where I am in game!)
Previously on the Cooke Legacy
Anna and Bob had produced three beautiful children, Damien, Jamie & Chloe Cooke.
Both Anna and Bob had reached the top of their careers, Bob being a "Celebrity Chef" in the Culinary career track and Anna being "The Law" in the Law career track.
Bob was obsessed with his Nintendo DS... but that's normal really.
Damien started his own Lemonade business - despite only just reaching childhood - and pulled out all the stops - he even opened in the middle of the night!
What new twists await the Cooke family today?
Read on and find out...
Bob arrives home from work a few hours after the birth of Jamie (I told a lie, I said he was in the bathroom but he was actually at work...) and brings home a new friend.
I can't recall his name, but he's mighty cute.
And judging by the face he's pulling he obviously doesn't think the same about me! *cries*
All Jamie does is sleep, cry, sleep, and then whine to high heaven.
Just like his brother Damien when he was a baby.
I'm starting to think it's a boy thing.
Anna heads to work the next morning as her first day as "The Law"! Check out that ride! Anna = Pimp!!
I wonder what her laws are. I'd like to live in the world of Anna.
Bob teaches Chloe how to use the potty!
Damien arrives home from school that afternoon with a new friend - Pierre Roman who dresses like a Pirate!
He's a real cutie, think I might have to think about ageing him up with the InSIMenator
Damien invites Pierre the Pirate (lol) inside to talk about... his rocket?!?
He's obviously been hearing his daddy talking about his torpedo...
Pierre the Pirate suddenly decides that it's too late and he has to go home.
I really like this little boy, he's cute!
He looks adorable in that raincoat, too.
Bob teaches Chloe how to walk!
Wow, I guess Bob has finally learnt how to be useful around the house. I'm seeing a little bird emerge... I just hope he keeps it up!
Otherwise he'll be talking to mister fist
Later that evening it's time for Chloe's birthday!
Hay, cutie pie!
They had enough money in their piggy bank, so I thought why not!
Anna, Bob, Damien, Chloe & Jamie moved into a new house which, I wrongly guessed, would leave them with enough money to furnish it... but after the purchase of the house they were left with 18 Simoleons, lol.
Anna wasn't impressed with the new house and their lack of money.
She cheered up considerably when the carpool arrived though, probably as she knew she'd return home bringing some money into the piggy bank.
Damien & Chloe head inside to have their very first pillow fight - in the new, empty living room of their brand new house!
Meanwhile, Bob prepares breakfast in the kitchen. And so he should be!
Chloe: "Do. Not. WANT. Need bathroom "
Damien and Bob (who I noticed is looking a bit chubby round the edges again) took forever to stop dancing whilst Chloe waited to use the toilet.
Poor thing, she really needed that toilet. And there are no other toilets in the house.
Instead of changing Jamie's diaper/nappy, Bob decides that he'll do some yoga in front of him instead!
*headdesk*
And - the icing on the top of the cake - Bob then decides that he'll grow Jamie up instead of changing his diaper/nappy!
God Bob, you'll do anything just to avoid changing a stinky diaper/nappy and going into Aspiration failure, right?!
Heya cutie pie, you look just like your brother!
After Anna returns home from work that evening, one of Bob's lady friends asks him if he wants to "hang out" downtown with some other random people.
Noticing that they are still desperate for money, I get him to say yes with the thought that he'll be able to get a job behind the bar and earn a little bit of moolah.
Bob decides that they should all go to Crypt O' Night.
Instead of working at the bar, Bob decides that he wants to work as a DJ instead.
He doesn't own the DJ-booth like Anna does, though.
See?! No one's dancing.
Even the lady behind the bar thinks Bob's performance is "boring".
A few hours down the line, some random lady dressed in pink comes along and starts to shake her booty.
A random black dog comes along too, but I'm not sure whether he was actually enjoying Bob's performance or just wanted to yowl at him.
He soon gathers that no one likes what he's doing, and comes away from the DJ booth after making a whopping 1,530 Simoleons (yes he was there for an awfully long time... a good few Sim hours)
Bob decides to use the spinny thingy, and - much to my annoyance - he's quite good.
He shifts a few of those hard to lose pounds, too.
Well done Bob... I guess.
He returns home WAY after midnight and brings all his friends with him. ;_;
They're mostly all ladies, too.
Goodbye women (and dog)!
YAY NEW HOUSE!
I think my eyes were a bit too big for my belly (ok, wrong use of that expression) when it came to buying them a new house, so I economised them a little and moved the Cooke family into a smaller place!
Anna still doesn't approve, lol.
Bob gives Jamie his first ever makeover, so that he's cute just like the rest of them!
Chloe's first action?
She runs into her mum and dad's room and climbs onto the bed, pulling strange faces at the wallpaper.
Easy to amuse, I guess.
She later gets a makeover too!
Isn't she cute?!
(gosh, all my Sims seem to be cute. Really must find a substitute for the word "cute".)
Damien + Chloe = BBFL
Anna = teaching Jamie how to walk in the background
...And the next morning Anna finishes teaching Jamie how to walk!
Damien & Chloe decide to play a game of "Cops and Robbers".
Damien: "HEHE SIS, you killed me and now I'm a ghost!!"
Chloe: *giggles*
Aww, how cute.
Darn it, I said cute again!
*headdesk*
Hmmm, I wonder what went on there?
After their random bout of WooHoo, Anna heads outside to check the newspaper - something she hasn't done for a long while.
AND GUESS WHAT?!?
THE MILITARY CAREER TRACK CAME UP!
YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY
Anna has now become a Senior Officer in the Military career track!
She needs to work on her body skillz, though.
No sooner has Bob taught Jamie how to talk and he's playing on that damn Nintendo DS again.
At this point in time I suddenly thought to myself, "CAREER REWARDS!"
Bob's career reward is WAYYY too big to fit in the house, so I put Anna's Law career reward in the house instead.
The first person to use it?!
One of Chloe's random school friends who decides it's so funny to burp into it.
Hello 25,000 big ones!
Ignore Anna on the toilet there, please...
Time for Damien's birthday!
He'll be the entering the big teen years! Woo!!
Hay cutie pie cowboy!
Nice face you're pulling there.
Damien fixes his outfit (he prefers the rocker look over the cowboy look) and decides to play with his little bro.
I can't help but see a little bit of Bob in his smile there
DON'T LET ME STOP LOVING U, DAMIEN!!!
What's that Anna's getting into there?!
I can't see for all the camouflage
(only joking, just trying to point out how badly that jeep stands out in a neighbourhood)
Hai Jamie, you've got a bit of green doll stuck in your teeth.
Bob teaches Jamie how to use the potty!
Gaw, Bob is really coming in handy.
Bob can't wait until the rest of the family to return home, so he throws a small birthday party for little Jamie!
Welcome to childhood Jamie
(I hate that Peggy hair!! It always changes colour from black to dark brown!!)
To celebrate growing into a child, Jamie decides to jump up and down on his parents' bed.
Just watch out for the lampshade there, J. It'd be painful to go through your cheek.
...Oh, wait.
Bob rings up the Gardening Club lady for her to "rate his garden".
She rings her other Gardening friends, and I sit back as they do their job!
Anna returns home from work with a POP! Ehehe.
And she's also probably wondering who the hell all the women are - if I was her and married to Bob I'd definitely be suspicious!
Here's Jamie's makeover!
And I know he's lovely, but not as lovely as Damien, OK?!
Bob is now probably the only male member in the whole of the Gardening Club.
Way to go, Bob. That's probably one of your biggest fantasies.
Brother and sister bonding time
I was playing the game on full speed and missed Anna's bump. Whoops!
POP!
Ah, such a contrast.
Jamie = crappy grades
Chloe = great grades
Sorry Chlo, mummy is too busy working out to pay attention to your good grades.
Anna always seems to workout ever since I brought that exercise machine... and surely that can't be healthy when you're pregnant, can it?!?
Bob, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!
Anna is right there... do you think she can't see you?!?
Boy, if you weren't so good with teaching the toddlers their skillz I'd punch your lights out right about now.
The next day Anna goes into labour for the fourth time!
Cookie Fest, meet Josh Cooke.
Josh, meet the world of Cookie Fest.
He looks like Damien and Chloe - black hair, blue eyes and a light skintone.
I was hoping for a bit of red hair, but I guess it's not meant to be true.
Will I get revenge on Bob for kissing a random blonde in front of Anna?
How many more children will Anna have?
Will Bob work his way through every female member of the Gardening Club?
What will Chloe and Jamie look like when they turn into teenagers?
What will Josh look like when he turns into a toddler?
Will Damien be leaving the household soon? (NOOOOOOOO *cries*)
Find out next time in part 2.3 of the Cooke Legacy!
