Note to self: Enthusiasm seems to get you quick, long updates...hmmm...be more enthusiastic Kate, this might work to your advantage! *evil cackle*  YAY another long update, you're spoiling us now  I love the ghosties in this game...it's sweet seeing Jasper and Kendall being cheekily mysterious. I also love how Jude isn't phased by his ghostly mother, it's like she hasn't morphed into a ghost at all! *gasp!* I was right!! The looooorve-triangle (although it has not yet appeared to be a problem) seems to revolve around Marcellette and her boys!! So... Marcellette + Kirk (OMG it would be awesome if his name was Kirk James...then it'd be a reversal of the epic James T. Kirk, Captain of the Starship Enterprise!!!) + Aaron = EPIC LOVE TRIANGULARNESS. Aaron isn't going to be too happy when he hears that Marcellette has been making googly-eyes with another boy behind his back...oooooh...juicy, juicy!! Who will she choose?! Who will be her man 4 life??! Who will be the father of her babies?!?  Hehehe at the gossip about Jepson...lucky him for marrying rich though! Having a "snake"??! He's got a snake?! Is that a typo for 'snack'?  Mimi's so cute as an elder, she reminds me of one of my lecturers...and I've always said I wanted to be like said lecturer when I get old, hehe. Actually, thinking about it, I feel that this whole generation has been cute! Well, that didn't turn out overly enthusiastic...but lets just hope we've done all we can Kate! *moar evil cackling*

Oh wow. Just love the idea of the ghostly interactions. And it was sweet to see Kendall there, attending a birthday. It is nice there are more interactions for the ghosts in this game other than floating around and scaring people, but I am annoyed they don't go away in the day. I mean they NEVER leave. I donno if it's just my over active ghosts or what. *gasp!* I was right!! The looooorve-triangle (although it has not yet appeared to be a problem) seems to revolve around Marcellette and her boys!! So... Marcellette + Kirk (OMG it would be awesome if his name was Kirk James...then it'd be a reversal of the epic James T. Kirk, Captain of the Starship Enterprise!!!) + Aaron = EPIC LOVE TRIANGULARNESS. Aaron isn't going to be too happy when he hears that Marcellette has been making googly-eyes with another boy behind his back...oooooh...juicy, juicy!! Who will she choose?! Who will be her man 4 life??! Who will be the father of her babies?!? Okay maybe I was a little off on the shape.. Looking at the updates i have in store it's more of a love rectangle. *evil cackle*  LOL! you made me laugh at the Jame T. Kirk /Kirk James name thing. It would be awesome if that was his name, but it's van-something or other. But it still made me giggle.. knowing yer Star Trek umm... infatuation. Am debating updating now or making you guys wait a little longer |

Okay like Kate my good side won out over my evil side and I have an update for you and it's again a bit longer. Sooo... Marcellette was over at Aaron's house and was in the bathroom washing her hands when Aaron's younger brother, Kip walked in..... and he and Marcellette got to talking and one thing led to another and there was a bit of flirting going on when Aaron and his older sister Amelie walked in!  Marcellette's daily freak out. Or she is remembering that yesterday evening she was caught cheating on her boyfriend with his younger brother.  Few nights later it's Jett's birthday!  And here he is as a teen. Not too bad, but his nose looks like it's encroaching on his upper lip.  Marcellette missed her little brother's birthday though.. why you ask? Because she was over at Kirk's house canooddling with him on the couch!   The next night she calls Aaron. Very odd thing happened.. half way through the visit he suddenly grew into a young adult O.O Marcellette decided to break up with him then. She just wasn't happy with him and now he was so much older than her.  But of course the next night it was Marcellette's birthday...keke  Here she is as a young adult... on my she needs a make over.  That's better!  Marcellette went down to the park one day to hang out and ran into her Uncle Jack Jepson. The reason I bring this up is because it shows other story progression which continues to amaze me! Seems he had gotten together with The mom of a family I made ages ago... And she has no died before they got married and he's heart broken. Maybe that is what made him be broke (remember Marcellette was gossiping about him.)  Since growing up Marcellette has decided to be alone for a while and concentrate on getting a job and advancing a bit. So she went down to the Hospital to see if there were any openings.. what luck there was! While she was inside I happened to see a guy go all sparkly O.O  Just as Marcellette was running over to see what was going on Grimmy showed up. I was very surprised to see someone ... expire like that in town.  Marcellette redecorated Jasper and Kendall's old room so now she has her own private space upstairs. (her favorite color is brown by the way.)  A few days later Marcellette went back to the park to enjoy the sun and ran into Kip Lennox! (he was Aaron's younger brother.. who seems to of had a birthday recently as well. But he had sad tidings. It seems his brother Aaron has passed away in a freak fire at their home.  Being the good person she is Marcellette tries to cheer Kip up.  Marcellette walked across the street and had a major melt down. People stared and snickered at her. I am not sure if it had sunk in that her first love Aaron was dead or not. She MAY have been thinking of calling him up since having her birthday.   But she then met his nice man... Claude Olivares. They talked for a lonnng time and hit it off really well, but then he told her he was seeing someone... BAH!  Then she met Dexter Bishop (he was part of the family I put in ages ago... aww.. he was just a baby when i last saw him). Marcellette and Dexter did NOT get along too well.  The family got a new telescope and Mimi was looking to the heavens one night and got scared from what she saw. i am so curious as to what she saw.  A few days later Kip called Marcellette up and asked if she wanted to meet up at the beach.  They got to talking and the old sparks rekindled and they ended up having their first kiss.  But Kirk happened to see them and he was a little upset because he still liked Marcellette.  This made Marcellette sad because she had had feelings for Kirk, so she went to apologize. She tried to explain she was sorry and cared for him, but he was still so young.  And this is where I leave you guys again  |

Heh, I don't know about you being off shape, but it seems I was a little bit premature in assuming who was included in this love triangle/rectangle!! Oh and I must apologise for my Star Trek infatuation...I just tend to gush at anything when Star Trek is involved. The people I work with know this Am glad you updated though  After reading the update I have come to the conclusion that I think Marcellette is a bit of a maneater She's soooo pretty though, that hair really suits her! She seems to have a lot of potentially good men in her life...lucky her I say, I wish I did! Hehe. Am not sure who I want to see her with the most...obviously now it won't be Aaron since he died in a fire (RIP Aaron!). I like Kirk, mostly because of his name, but he has got a funny lip/nose thing going on. Kip seems mysterious, and at least he's the same age as her, but I donno. It's a tough one, I'm looking forward to seeing who she ends up with! I have to say before I post my post (lol)...Claude Olivares...now THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout!! Phwoar!  I think perhaps the SimGoddess!Dizzy should track down his partner and subject him/her to a large, raging, undistinguishable fire...?  |

Your Star trek infatuation is cute... and know about it too. You may have gushed about it here on CF too I soo wanted Marcellette and Claude to get together. I mean a nice looking Townie.. I forget now cause I didn't write them down, but due to Marcellette's observant-ness she should out a lot of his traits and he was a fairly normal and well rounded personality. But then the jerk left out the fact that he was with someone. *dramatic gasp* are you suggesting I should have killed off the poor unsuspecting girlfriend?!?! LOL.. actually after they met I saw Claude next door...I never realized he lived right next door to the Langdons. |

The family members had accumulated quite a few books in their inventory and had started setting them out around the house. Mimi was too busy writing so she called a maid service to come out and put them away and they sent TWO maids!  Neither of which finished the job.. they were fired and told to not come back. So now that you are about to see i can tell you that when Marcellette was at the beach with Kip and she was seen kissing him by Kirk she had two wants show up at the same time... to apologize to Kirk and then to "just be friends" with Kip (I kid you not.. that was the actual want.) So needless to say she is no longer seeing Kip. But a few days later she was back out at the pack scooping out the place when she ran into Kirk! And he's had a birthday  Marcellette confesses she's always had a thing for Kirk and after talking a while they fidn they are still very much into each other.  Kirk has the evil trait and if you ask me he had it planned all the time to steal Marcellette away from all the other guys. And now he has her.  Marcellette figures why waste any more time and pops the BIG question.  Kirk said yes!  Back at the Langdon house Marcellette and Kirk have a intimate private ceremony.  Awwww..  Here is Kirk after a little make over.  I just thought this was cute.. Kick is very pleased with being married to Marcellette.  |

Am not surprised, it just...happens... *dramatic gasp* are you suggesting I should have killed off the poor unsuspecting girlfriend?!?! Perhaps... Oh, and she certainly lost the status of 'unsuspecting' as soon as she entered into a relationship with him!! Hehe! I can't be held accountable for what happens to the partners of handsome Simmies. I had no idea Sims could make that sort of decision about their lives! In the case of anything, I always thought it was inevitably down to us which path they would choose. In this case it's the Sim they'd always end up with...but clever old young Marcellette, she knows what her heart wants! LOL pesky Kirk! *shakes fist* Don't worry though, Kirk. I still like you because of your first name. I actually always thought he had gingery red hair, but looking at the new pictures I can now see that it's more of a dark sandy colour  Be more observant, damn it Kate! Oh, this may be a shot in the dark, but is Kirk's favourite colour orange? I wonder what's next on Kirk's evil agenda? Create some evil babies with Marcellette?  |

In this case it's the Sim they'd always end up with...but clever old young Marcellette, she knows what her heart wants! Yeah I didn't either. I mean i was soo going to shove Marcellette and Kip together until that want came up. I could have ignored it and gone on because there was no real emotion in it it seemed, but I thought it would be nice to the story to give into her wants. Of course i have also never had any of my sims romantically involved with three other sims O.O *cough* his hair up until his update was a mess! It was an odd ginger color but like halfway between a red and a brownish and oi! it had green tips! When i gave him his make over I took the green out and maybe toned down the red in the hair to be more of a ginger/sand color. So is most like me confusing you and not that you were unobservant Why yes it is. I am very impressed and curious how you would guess this as I have not even shown the picture of his pjs (which would totally give away his favorite color). Have the same sims gotten together in your game and produced a Kirk of their own?!?! When Marcellette married him I looked back in his family time line and he came from a long and old line of town sims. I forget the names now, but he's like fourth or fifth generation born in the game of that family. I know I say this all the time, but I loooove the story progression and how they have made townies and such get together and age and grown with your active family. I have also noticed now that so many of the older families are dying off or just getting condensed that there are totally NEW families that move in too. O.O *doh* I so meant to write down all his stats and do the total Kate thing with the picture to let every one know what he likes and what type of person he is, but i forgot. I do however need to mention that in addition to having the evil trait Kirk also has the friendly trait and this wars with the evil side of him all the time. It will play up in other updates. |

*cough* his hair up until his update was a mess! Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. It was an odd ginger color but like halfway between a red and a brownish and oi! it had green tips! When i gave him his make over I took the green out and maybe toned down the red in the hair to be more of a ginger/sand color. Ok, by the sound of things you aren't very amused by his hair colouring...but to me it sounds awesome! Wouldn't have kept him with long hair though, that's for sure...but I would have kept the green tips. But what am I saying, this is your game we're discussing here and you can do what you want LOL I am very impressed and curious how you would guess this as I have not even shown the picture of his pjs (which would totally give away his favorite color). I actually guessed it by going on his hair colour - which, at the time of commenting, I was half & half as to whether it was a gingery/orangey/rusty colour or a blond colour - and the fact you'd put him in a grey hooded-top with a orange t-shirt underneath kinda gave it away. I too like to try to dress my Simmies corresponding to their favourite colours. I am very impressed and curious how you would guess this as I have not even shown the picture of his pjs (which would totally give away his favorite color). Have the same sims gotten together in your game and produced a Kirk of their own?!?! I am not sure, who are his parents? If you could get their names, it would be much appreciated. I will have to take a look in game, I like exploring the neighbourhood. If they have had a Kirk of their own, I doubt said child will have an awesome name like Kirk. I have also noticed now that so many of the older families are dying off or just getting condensed that there are totally NEW families that move in too. O.O Hehehe yeah I notice this all the time...I too am a lover of story progression, such an awesome addition to the game. It's good that new families move in, because then the gene-pool has lots of variety to choose from when it comes to picking a spouse for your heir I so meant to write down all his stats and do the total Kate thing with the picture to let every one know what he likes and what type of person he is, but i forgot. I do however need to mention that in addition to having the evil trait Kirk also has the friendly trait and this wars with the evil side of him all the time. It will play up in other updates. The 'Kate thing' has started to get annoying, I've decided to do it every time someone transitions and there's a change...whether it be a new lifetime trait, lifetime want or a different look. Making it pretty is what gets to me, I've actually made some template .psds so I don't have to do much As for Kirk's traits, teehee, I love that he's a conflicted guy! He's really got that good/evil thing going on. |

Those pictures are so pretty Diz  *makes grabby hands* They'd make good CF logo images...*cough*...sorry, that's my skin/theme design voice coming in. I love the purpley sort of lighting in those shots. I took some piccies of China that you'll see later on but they don't look as good as yours  ZOMG BABY?! *jumps up and down* That's a pretty neat souvenir |

ZOMG BABY?! *jumps up and down* That's a pretty neat souvenir Oh a baby?  I have found out that Kirk and Marcellette were talking about a fortune cookie maker  |

Back at the Langdon home, Mimi is finally utilizing the transportable feature of a lap top and has taken her's down to the park to do some writing.  Umm... Yeah.. that is some painting Jude o.O It's not exactly my cup of tea, but it sold for over $2500 so who am I to complain about the style.  Kekekeke... Kirk's Pjs... and I answered before, but yes his favorite color is orange (I do like catering as much as I can to my sims favorites. Although i wish it would add some kind of happiness or something extra special when they are in their favorite color, listen to their favorite music, etc..)  Kirk announced to the family he finally got a job! Jude was a little suspicious and followed he to the place he was applying and found out it was the criminal headquarters Jude confronted him and let him know that he's never really liked him. And it's not just the dad attitude that no one is good enough for his baby girl.  He let Kirk know he thinks he's trash and he'll be watching him *insert hand motion of two fingers to eyes and then point to the other person*  Kirk then told Jude his mamma smelled like a llama! But that conflicted with his friendly side and he quickly apologized.  Back at home Marcellette was having lunch after getting home from work when she realized she had stuck her hand through a plate O.O  And ran to the bathroom to stop the bleeding. (>.> Yeah that's my story and I'm stickin' to it) Oh who am i kidding! There was no fortune cookie maker souvenir and no bleeding from the hand in the plate... IT'S A BABY!!!  A few days later Jude went to town to sell off all his excess produce. I was hanging outside the shop waiting for him to stop haggling over the price when i noticed there had been a stowaway! Jasper hitched a ride down town O.O  He tried to catch the attention of his other sons Jepson and Jack (oh please don't ask me which is which.. I have never been able to tell, though I think it's Jepson in the pink scrubs).  That is all for now. The next update is action packed! And I might wait a bit on giving you that one... unless I can be talked into posting it earlier |

I want Kirk's PJs. Orange sheepy PJs? Incredibly awesome! I too wish there was a bonus when a Sim sees its favourite colour/hears its favourite music/eats its favourite food. Even though I don't walk into my bedroom and think, "YAY PURPLE MY FAVOURITE COLOUR", I do feel comfortable being surrounded by four walls that are my favourite colour.  @ Jude calling Kirk 'trash'...awesome. And Kirk telling Jude his 'mamma' smells like 'a llama'? I can't stop giggling. YAY BABY! I wonder what it's going to be? Jude's going to have to come to terms with the fact that Kirk is now going to be a permanent figure in their lives...Jude might have been hoping Kirk might disappear...but now Kirk's gonna be a baby daddy.  ...what am I going to have to do to accelerate the posting process?! I am willing to do what it takes! |

well... I guess I could post it Today was a beautiful day out even thought the weather people said it was supposed to rain. I am in a good mood even though I had to work. Last night my boyfriend found imitation Timtams at a store.. and on top of that.. Shell is gonna send me some real ones So here is the next installment of the Langdons. Marcellette cooked a meal for dinner she never had before and burned it. No one wanted to eat it so she started cooking something else she knew how.. only problem is in the middle of it she went into labor!  Her contractions were obviously too painful for her and she couldn't even take the pot off the stove. No one else was able to get the pot off the stove either. :/ (I donno if it was that they didn't have high enough cooking level for that dish or what.. but it was dumb!) So pot left on shove leads to FIRE!  The fire station is apparently far away because the fire started rapidly spreading before any one got there. *snickers* the dishwasher broke when Marcellette put the burnt food dish in it... notice everyone is more annoyed by the broken dishwasher and NOT the huge fire in their kitchen  As you all know the best thing to do when there is a fire is crowd around it and block the firefighter from getting to it.  Just as i was finally getting everyone out of the way so the fireman could start doing his job i heard a THUNK! Looked over and there was coward Jett passed out on the floor.  Heard a commotion outside and when i took a look I saw a bunch of neighbors had gathered outside O.O  The other firefighter was so upset he was blocked that he left! The family had to call another one out and finally someone was able to start putting out the fire. Though, Mimi you look a little close O.O  And if Marcellette looks a little bit in pain it's because... ... she was about to do THIS!  Say hello to little Margo Langdon  Mimi! I told you that you were too close to the fire!  Marcellette went outside and placed Margo in the bushes for... safety  Before running back inside to the screams of her poor burning mother.  And yes... Jett is still passed out.  Finally Mimi is put out and the firefighter goes back to putting out the rest of the fire.  *sighs* JUDE! Did you not just learn something from Mimi?! Don't. Stand. So. Close. To. The. Fire!  Jude went out a little quicker than Mimi... maybe it was all that practice he's had being on fire when he went to Al Simhara.  After 5 sim hours of the fire raging it was put out. And YAY! Jett is awake now that everything is over.  The Langdon's insurance gave them $971 to replace heir burnt items.. too bad that wouldn't even cover the stove, but as I have said before.. the family is pretty set on money these days.  the neat freak Marcellette could not stand to the the burnt things wait till morning so she replaced them all before going off to bed.  The next day i felt so bad for Mimi and sent her to the spa for an all day treatment, but they sent her back still singed! Her hygiene bar went all the way up so she took a shower... I thought it was very rude of them to send her home this way. But a quick bath at home and all the other effects of the fire were wiped away after the day spa.  That is all for now |

Heyy Dizzzy! I just got caught up on the whole of your legacy and loved it!! Was so lovely to see what happened after being so excited about it starting! Whilst reading all your updates I kept thinking of little comments I wanted to say after each one, but i'd be here all day trying to do that! So am just gonna say, I am definitely gonna continue reading and am looking forward to seeing if Margo continues the cute-ness of all the kiddies you've had so far! *makes self comfy* More detailed comments will continue in the future Hehe |

I have to say that was one of my all time most exciting sessions of play for both sims 2 and 3! So many things kept happening.. i didn't know where to look to take pictures. i kept pausing and showing my boyfriend.. though he's soo not into sims and i don't think he was as amused as i was |

I think I deserve a welcome back update Dizzy! ;D Oh you do, do you?! Well here ya go.  One morning i saw Kirk sneaking around with a mischeivious look on his face.  He first tried to scare Mimi, but she was too busy practicing chess with Jett, so he tip toed into the kitchen and BOOOO!  Geeze Kirk.. careful, Jude is an old man now! Jett has been dying to win a ranked chess match so he called over the next ranked player and challenged him to a game. Unfortunately Jett lost and he does not lose well O.O  Jude's latest painting gave me a chuckle.... for any that didn't play it or still can't make it out in the blurriness it's of a Spore Creature! It actually looks like a creature I once made too.  Birthday time!! Little Margo at the cake.  And as a toddler. It looks like she is all Kirk.. except she got grandma Mimi's eye color. (and i am a little worried about what she will look like in life now seeing as she really takes after Kirk :/  Jett wanted a rematch... and this time he won!  The weather was so beautiful one day that the whole family went to the park for some fresh air. Marcellette used they soft grass to teach Margo to walk.  Jett played a little chess, Mimi plunked away on her latest book and Jude played for tips on his Guitar. I noticed some other people there and Look! It's Bella and Morti Bachelor.  As mentioned before jude smuggled home for fire fruit for Kendall. He has sense taken over her garden and one night while pulling weeds he tried one of the fruits.... but nothing happened.  Speaking of Bell and Morti.. their eldest daughter Erin came over to hang out with Jett.  She was just in time for his birthday!  Here is Jett as a young adult.  He had already been looking at vacant houses he'd like to move to... unfortunately the one he really wanted got taken by one of the roaming town families, but he was able to find an even better house down by the beach and he moved out that night. Kekeke... looks like he inherited Jasper's police car... I wondered where that thing had gone.  That is it for now |
|
LOL! you made me laugh at the Jame T. Kirk /Kirk James name thing. It would be awesome if that was his name, but it's van-something or other. But it still made me giggle.. knowing yer Star Trek umm... infatuation. 
Be more observant, damn it Kate!
I have found out that Kirk and Marcellette were talking about a fortune cookie maker
