The Warner Legacy

[Kate]

I have now entered the twilight zone realm of triple posting. Read at your own risk? No hehe I’m kidding, there’s nothing wrong with this update. Or is there?

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.7

Yes. This is a picture of a house. In fact, it’s the Warner’s new house.

I installed Late Night at this point, and I wanted to take full advantage of the new stuff it adds to the game. First I moved the Warners to Twinbrook by accident, then I realised what I’d done when there were no apartment buildings around. So then I moved them to Bridgeport. You might notice a few Twinbrook-esque things. I’ll let you guys know when the updates are coming from Bridgeport.

Their house is huge. Seriously. I either make homes that are too big or too small (in game I’ve just built the Warner’s a new house and I made it too small).



The trampoline travels with them, and Edith and Chris celebrate by holding a competition to see who can jump the highest.

Edith: STOP! I can jump higher than that so I don’t end up impaling myself on the tree!
Chris: I’d like to see you try!

Chelsey meanwhile has no time for that tomfoolery: she’s playing with the Gnubb set.



…Although not for long! She gets that familiar feeling in her belly, and it’s time for the arrival of the next bundle of Warner joy!



Firstly: IT’S A GIRL OMG YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

Secondly: I think she was conceived by eating bucket loads of watermelon. I am thankful for a gardener Sim who has two watermelon plants and supplied the perfect, large quantities of watermelon. *high-fives Edith*

Thirdly: OMG IT’S A GIRL YAY!

Everyone, meet Charlotte Warner!



Chris celebrates the arrival of the latest Warner child (which is a girl, OMG YAY) by giving her some attention.

Here is a random stat for you. At the moment I seem to be getting one girl for every three boys born in the family. Precisely three. Spooky or what?



Have I already mentioned that Chelsey seems to pay her kids more attention when they are exactly that – children?! She and Henry like to play ‘tag’ in the garden. Most often they are wearing everyday clothing, but on this special occasion they are dancing around in their swimwear.



Chelsey: OMG WHAT IS THIS WHY IS THIS BUNDLE PINK I DID NOT WANT A GIRL I SPECIFICALLY ROLLED A WANT FOR A BOY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU I DO NOT WANT THIS AT ALL OMG WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME LIFT HER UP I JUST WANT TO PLAY TAG IN THE GARDEN I REALLY WANT YOU TO GO AWAY NOW

…I am sorry. I must apologise for Chelsey’s outbursts. They are most illogical. I will not use the illogical image again.



To get away from baby Charlotte, Chelsey rolls a want to get a job in the medicine career track, just like her husband Normie.

I find it amusing that her boss’s name is Nick Knack, excuse me while I go LOL.



The next thing isn’t a laughing matter, because it’s time for Toby’s birthday!

Chelsey: OMG YAY ANOTHER CHILD TO PLAY TAG WITH!



So I went through all my custom content (my game was beginning to lag) and I removed Henry’s jeans…so he celebrates his little brother’s birthday in his bright white underwear.



I must either catch my Sims at the worst moment, or they all just like to transition cross-eyed.



It’s Toby, yay!

He rolls the trait eccentric and, because I thought it was fitting, I give him this crazy, wacked-out hair. He’s going to be the next Einstein, you know.



Rupert and Henry sit around the dining table that evening to quickly get their homework out of the way so they can go play ‘tag’ with their Mum.

What you probably can see is that Henry is still sitting around in his underpants. I think I somehow forget to put him back in a pair of jeans, and I also think that is why he is struggling with his homework. Although I’m just speculating.



In all her annoyingness, Chelsey does often sit quietly in a corner and play with her toys. So much so you don’t hear a squeak out of her for a good few Sim hours. But then she realises she’s starving or bursting for a wee and all hell breaks loose…

Chelsey: That’s all for now! Bye friends! I shall play with toys until the next update!

[Dizzy]

I love Toby's wild hair! So cute. All my kids seem to age up with crossed eyes now. I think it started after installing either Ambitions or Late night. I forget exactly when it appeared.

A girl!! OMG YAY! BOOOO @ Chelsey not feeling all motherly to her daughter and her kids in general till they hit the child stage.

Wow.. another new house... how many is that now? I know that a lot of these we are seeing now were not recently built, but in your game now are you saving copies of the cool houses you build?! I hope so.
Also when you say you moved the family... are you just taking a copy of them and placing them in the new town? Or are you using some of those game mods to move like extra people and all that too?

[Kate]

*waves* It's been a while, crocodile. I'm sat here, bored out of my mind, waiting for my Glitchy to learn her next skill so I can set another up and then turn off my computer. I was racking my brain for something to do and I had a crazy idea - why not update the Warners?

So here, have an unexpected update (if anyone's around to read it, that is...)

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.8

How fitting! Edith celebrates the new update with confetti–

Wait, what was that you said? She’s not celebrating the new update, but celebrating her retirement instead? Oh, well.

What can you do. *shrug*



Now that she has lots of spare time on her hands, I decide to send Edith off on a vacation to Shang Simla as a kind of reward (although I say reward in the loosest sense possible. I make her explore lots of tombs and she ends up having to use numerous showers in a can).



Edith has a lot of fun with this thing. And it’s been so long since I played TS3 that I can’t remember the name of it! *hangs head in shame*



After a good few days in Shang Simla (I sent her on a looooonnnggg vacation), Edith becomes quite good at martial arts.

This is her serious, martial arts face. I’m scared of that face, to be quite honest.



Oh no, guuuuurrrrllll that ain’t happening! Chris is back at home, missing you!

(In case you wanted to know the back story…Edith got quite friendly with Adaeze while she was in Shang Simla. Some could argue that the two became a little too friendly, but that is not the case. Edith and Adaeze’s friendship never crossed into the romantic zone. I couldn’t let Edith do that to Chris, he’s a beautiful peach!)



Edith’s vacation lasts so long that she is able to unlock the special axe of doom Shang Simla…once again I cannot remember the proper name for it, apologies, it has been quite a while!



Um, Edith… doesn’t that hurt?

Edith: *faints seconds later*



Chris: You’re home!!!!!!! *runs hand though Edith's hair*

This was the first thing he did as soon a Edith stepped through the door. Honestly.

I can admit that it has been a long time since I last played…but romantic scenes like this get imprinted on your brain and it becomes impossible to shake them out and then everything in your real life comes crashing down because you want to step through the front door of your real house and get bear-hugged by the love of your life! D:

*takes deep, calming breath*



While in Shang Simla, Edith bought one of the thingies I can’t remember the name of.

Rupert is so intrigued he just has to try it, and I think he ended up spending a good few Sim hours “trying” it.



A couple who jogs together, stays together. That’s my new motto.



Whereas two young boys who do their homework together… well, lets just say it takes a while.



Chelsey: YOU ARE SO CUTE! I CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU.
Charlotte: Is she talking to me?
Plant: No, she’s talking to me! Yaaaaaay! I HAVE WAITED ALL MY LIFE TO BE CALLED CUTE.



And we have a birthday!



Charlotte transitions into a beautiful, cross-eyed toddler. Aw.

Now, I am the world’s biggest idiot and forgot to take a CAS screenshot of her (the first time that has happened, EVER!). This will be the only time I forget, promise.

In case I haven’t already said (and if I have, here’s a reminder!), Charlotte is clumsy and friendly. She also likes swaying to indie music, stuffing cobbler in her tiny toddler mouth, and colouring the living room walls in grey with her favourite grey crayon.

[Dizzy]

An update!!

Edith's serious martial arts face scares me a bit too O.O
I am glad you didn't let her cheat on Chris while she was on vacation... he's such a sweetie!

I love the little romantic scenes in Sims too.. especially when they do those things on their own. Sad, but I also am sometimes jealous of the little pixels on my screen.

LOL @ the plant wanting love. Oddly before I read the caption for that picture I was thinking "What a nice house plant I must ask Kate where she found it."

Chelesy is cute! Love the red hair


*cough* On to Glitchy things...
So what skill are you currently learning? I finally took on Better learning 5 and finished it the other day.. took me 12 days and some odd hours to learn it too! O.O

[Kate]

That plant must be from the base game/one of the EPs as I have no custom furniture in my game! I removed most of my CC when I noticed that my game tended to slow down after a certain period of time (about 1 hour, I think), which was a bit odd!

On to Glitchy things! My Glitchy was – when writing that update – learning only Teleportation 1 or Alchemy 1! Like you, earlier in the day she had completed Better Learning V: omg that took so long! Originally I think it was supposed to take over 7 days but I managed to get the time down by donating to shrines. Bless those Glitchy Gods!

Here’s another update! I’m getting the TS3 bug back (found myself ordering Pets yesterday) so am trying to catch you all up with where I am in game.

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.9

Christopher is the lucky Warner to open today’s update, putting his life body in the chair of the Bridgeport tattooist to get another tattoo.

(BTW I just love how she’s working on his arm when he actually ends up getting a tattoo on his BACK!)



Quite fitting, I thought, given his love of fishing! That fish was calling Chris’s name!



Meanwhile Chelsey is back at school, embracing her inner child by playing on the swing.

I actually removed the swing-set from the Warner home as I was getting sick of Chelsey always playing on it…I guess she’s had no choice but to look for a swing elsewhere hehe.

(And I shouldn’t be so quick to criticise…whenever I go to my sister’s house I end up playing on my nephew’s swing)



Obligatory toy box shot: Charlotte’s turn!



Here’s Chelsey away from the swing-set, playing guitar.

I don’t really have anything funny to say about this picture *sad face*



I manage to miss Henry’s birthday *another sad face* and he transitions to his teenage years in the comfort of the living room and his little brother’s presence.



HELLO HUNK!

It’s official: I have yet another crush on a bunch of pixels. Henry is BY FAR the most gorgeous born in-game Sim I have had in my game, EVER. Just look at that face, so perfect! *pinches his perfect cheeks*

*coughs* Eh hem, sorry for that. Um. Henry rolls the trait natural cook, like his Grandmother Edith.



I’m sorry, it had to be done.

Normie discovers a new planet, and calls it Normulcan. Anyone who doesn’t notice the reference there clearly doesn’t get *me*!



Edith: Charlotte, say flower pot. Flow-er-pot. Your mother likes talking to these. I, on the other hand, like planting them.



Chelsey is nowhere to be seen (which isn’t a surprise, she’s probably on a swing-set somewhere), so Edith gets on top of teaching Charlotte her essential toddler skills. Rupert could help, really, but he’s too engrossed in his romance novel. He loves a bit of romance, does our Rupert.



Oh no, I was wrong, there’s Chelsey. Playing with her toys. *rolls eyes*

*nudges Edith* Keep up the good work!



Edith: Don’t worry Charl, as long as I’m still around I will make sure you grow up perfect!



Time for Toby’s birthday, and I actually manage to remember this one!

#party



OMGQUICKGOTTACHANGETHATHAIRANDTHOSEEYEBROWSOMGQUICKOMGHELOOKSHIDEOUS

Rupert: Can I get back to my romance novel now? D:



Miraculously, after losing it all in the transition process, Toby’s hair seems to grow back in the space of a few seconds in CAS. Miracles do happen *wipes tear from eye*

He rolls the trait coward, again like his Grandmother Edith. She’s certainly passing down a lot of her traits!

Now, he may not be as good looking as his older brother, but I still love him. Oh who am I kidding HENRY HENRY HENRY I LOVE ONLY YOU HENRY

*coughs awkwardly and runs away*

[Dizzy]

hmm... do you have any of the stuff packs? Because I don't have that tree and I have all the EPs, just no stuff packs. Anyway... on to your up date

Henry is a cutie! If he were to lead the next generation i think you'd have a whole generation of cuties!

LOL.. at Normie finding a planet and his name for it. By any chance is that the combination of Vulcan and Normie?

I have very little custom content in my game. Well non EA custom content. I have my skin, eyes some leggings and then hair.. the basic needs as I see it. For everything else I am sticking with EA content. I think I'll just load in a few select patterns that I used to have, other than that I am loving the fast loading times of my game now. I was up to 40 minutes total to load my game. Now it's between 7 to 10 minutes from hitting the load button to actually having a family all loaded. That alone is putting me back in the simming mood.

And you updating has reminded me I had meant to put up an update of my own the other day and totally forgot. *runs off to fix that*

[Kate]

Damn, I forgot about SPs...and store items! I tell you what, I'll go through my plants next time I'm in game and shall report back to you...now that I've said that I think there's a slight possibility it's a store item!

You got my reference, yaaay! Langdon update, double yaaay! *runs over to the Langdon thread to read*

[Dizzy]

I found it! The plant is a store item... Athena's olive tree.
Now to figure out which set it came in..lol

[Kate]

Did you manage to track the set down, Diz? If not, the plant is from the 'Muse Luxury' set, found here: store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:33576&categoryId=11488&scategoryId=12883&pcategoryId=12882&ppcategoryId=12861

Sorry I haven't updated again yet. When I installed Pets it borked my game (couldn't get the launcher working, it kept freezing), so I had to uninstall all the TS3 games to then install them all again. Also I had to move the Warners to yet another new house and new neighbourhood. They've had so many house changes it's uncanny!

Just need to have a massive go through of my Mods folder now

[Dizzy]

Thanks. I had not actually looked yet for which set the plant was in.

That sucks about your game. It was kinda nice when pets came out I had just installed the whole thing for the first time onto this computer and not even played yet... didn't have to worry about messing up any on going games. After the I don't know how many years langdon family it was nice to not worry about screwing up my game with a new EP.

Have the Warners moved to the new town that comes with Pets? lol
The one nice thing about your family moving often is the town folk never get stale. My family stayed put for over two years straight and kept running out of people to mingle with (mingle = marry). It's why i had to keep making huge townie families so there would at least be choices. Also starting over in new towns keeps the celeb and vampire population down because each town only starts with a few, but grows over time. (which reminds me I really need to go find a mod that will stop the spread of vamps and celebs before I get too far in my new game.)

[Kate]

I actually downloaded a Pets-compatible town and have moved the Warners there...except most of them seem to be no longer related -_-;; I've been trying to fix that but there seems to be no option to set them as family members. Some of them are related while others aren't. Very annoying!

Is there a hack which stops vampires taking over the town?! Awesome! I'll have to download that.

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.10

So, now that the boys are all teens, what do they do?



Go clubbing of course!!

(I LOVE Henry’s bright aqua suit, and also elevator lighting is fun hehe)



Rupert and Henry manage to exit the elevator with ease, but Toby… well lets just say he lacks a bit of grace and ends up flat on his face.

He likes to insist he was just ‘planking’ though…



Henry: Hi there, Mr Cool Bearded Guy!
Cool Beard (whose real name is Heimrich, lol): Hello there.
Henry: Cool tats!
Heimrich: Thanks.
Henry: So…um…is there any chance we could…you know…get in the club tonight?
Heimrich: No chance.
Henry: Um…okay.

Henry’s face after this conversation:





Meanwhile, while Henry is talking to the bouncer, Toby is transfixed by this woman. Turns out she’s a five star celebrity. Now, Toby I admire that you’re aiming high…but honestly, you’ve got no chance.



Henry is desperate to party…so while Heimrich (the bouncer)’s back is turned, he sneaks in to the club! And he manages to do it without getting caught! Wooo!



At the bar Henry orders a drink, and he also is transfixed by the mixologist/bartender as she does her stuff. Wonder what she’s making him…



Henry chooses to drink a girly cocktail. Actually it kinda looks like a martini, and if it’s good enough for James Bond…

Toby: Could I get a prawn cocktail over here, please? And bro, I’d appreciate it if you remove your arm from my chest.



After a not-very eventful night where the boys spend most of the time supping girly drinks, the boys all head home separately for some reason. Henry heads home on Edith’s moped, looking fly for a white guy.

Have I mentioned how much I love him in this update? Not yet? Well, I have now.



The boys are so exhausted from their big night out that they all collapse on the sofas for a nap (Toby isn’t pictured but he’s on the other sofa, cut out of the bottom left of the pic).

Normie isn’t too bothered by them, just as long as he gets to read his sci-fi novel!

(Sorry that this update is a bit short, just wanted to get all of the clubbing fun in the one update!)

[Dizzy]

LOL.. I love the second picture, the boys are looking all suave and then Toby there in the back flat on his face *cough* planking (right planking).
Henry seems to be the star of this update. He looks so cute with his big grin while riding the scooter too.
Also i donno if it's because you just mentioned how rich the family is over on my thread, but this update really give the feel of the family being rich. Here are the rich young boys going out on the town, sneaking into clubs and drinking.
To answer your question (that was not asked here) the family does not want for anything. From past families I knew after a few generations the money just piles up. So for the Langdons every few generations no one would work at conventional jobs and just live off the saved up money. That way in another generation or two sims would HAVE to work again to survive. It was just something i decided to do to keep interest. An with all the house expansions and remodels the money would get used up.

So what town did you download? Always interested in new towns.

[Kate]

The Warners are now living in a neighbourhood called Queenstown. You can find it here. I really like it, except I’ve moved them to the suburbs and it’s quite a trek into town. Plus it took me ages to find the city hall as it’s not as jumpy outy (hehe new word) as the city halls in EAxis-made neighbourhoods.

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.11

Normal life is resuming in the Warner Household…



There is really no point to this photo, I just love Christopher’s dart face.



Charlotte: My horsey!

She’s so cute! It breaks my heart. Oh, and while we’re on the subject of cute things…



…Ok, perhaps not cute. Scary.

Edith proves that using the trampoline is serious business. Just look at all that angry effort on her face! She actually looks a bit like the terminator here.

Edith: I’m just angry you let me use the trampoline in my high heels!



After her trampolining session, Edith brings Charlotte to the cake – it’s birthday time y’all!!



Tee hee I think I am starting to like catching them cross-eyed… but oh dear. She seems to have a “problem” with her eyes…

(This would be nice if it were actually true…EAxis should add it to the game!)



Since I forgot to take a picture of her in CAS when she turned toddler, I better tell you her stats now. Charlotte was born with the friendly and clumsy traits, and when turning to toddler rolled hydrophobic.

She likes indie tunes, that (sort of) pie stuff which I’m assuming is cobbler, and the colour grey.

Charlotte looks so much like Chelsey…but with red hair.



Speaking of Chelsey she seems to have stopped playing with toys for a little while to rediscover her love for playing songs on her guitar about Normie. She does seem to play for tips in the strangest places though, and since no one is around she doesn’t make much money.



Just look at that face! It seems Henry has woken up in a bad mood…



Rupert loves getting his homework completed right after he has finished at school that day…even if it means sitting on the concrete floor in front of his friend’s house to do so.


If this image doesn't load properly...please refresh. Or right click on the pic and open it directly. I'm having a bit of trouble with it...

And later that evening it’s his turn to transition to the Young Adult world…but I manage to completely forget about his aging and catch his lonely celebrations in his bedroom *hangs head in shame*



OK. I’ll admit this: I gave him a beard and a moustachey thing as I thought he looked like a blond-haired Will Riker.

…What?! You don't see the likeness? Oh. Well.



Speaking of blond-haired men…



Someone (I can’t remember who) pranked the shower (thinking about it, it was probably Henry if he was in a bad mood) and Christopher ended up the victim. He looks good with yellow hair…but it’s probably because he’s against a blue tile wall.

Chris: fml



Riker Rupert loves reading – he’s got a book in his hand at every chance he gets! Reminds me of me, really…



Um, we shall end this update with Edith and Christopher skinny dipping in the pool. *coughs* Perhaps this was not the best idea I’ve had – ending the update on this note. This update should have come with a warning.

*runs away*

[Dizzy]

Blonde Will Riker, spinning chicken and skinny dipping... oh my!
Charlotte is adorable as a kid! But Henry's angry face is more adorable!

I love that teens can pull pranks by putting color dye in the shampoo. I just wish that the sims actually stayed with the hair color a bit longer instead of jumping right back in to wash it out.

Also, Edith's trampoline face scares me O.O Although that could not have been too fun jumping in high heels.

[Angie]

Love the updates! MORE MORE MORE!!!!!

[Symqhony]

You haven't updated in forever! Please update soon!

[Kate]

Hi there! Ok- so it's been forever since I last updated. And was last on Cookie Fest it seems. I've had a...weird couple of months. I can't really find the words to explain. My life these past few months has been rather complicated, ha! I thought I was the least likely person to complicate. But what happened happened, no use regretting. Anyway, I got wrapped up in what was happening and completely lost interest in TS3. This seems to be a theme now: my interest in TS3 seems to come and go. I'm at the beginning of the 'interest' stage now, don't know how long this will last for. ... Oh my, too much talking about myself!

Is anyone still here? *pokes barren CF* I presume most of you guys have lost interest in the game or your lives have taken over...well, I'm here to reclaim my CF life! Even if it means talking to myself, teeheehee...

Bloody hell I can talk for England. Or, type I guess. Have any of you read that? ... No? Oh, well I guess I should update then. I mean, that's what you're here for when you see that I've posted, right?

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.12

Normie doesn't seem to stop vaccinating people. I think he seems to think that people actually take pleasure from it, when it's completely obvious that they don't. I mean- just look at this person's face (genderless, I'm not sure if he/she is male or female. Looking in the chest region I would guess it is a 'she', LOL oh god sorry). Poor soul.



Edith & Chris: playing crappy games of catch with a baseball since 2010

Edith: My arms aren't as strong as they used to be D:
Me: But you're a Sim-Fu goddess...



Later on that night, I catch Edith singing Charlotte a song she learned while visiting Shang Simla. Charlotte seems mesmerised.



ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR THIS?

It's time for Henry's birthday. He's my favourite, remember?! And no, I'm not ashamed for having favourites. But from these few rambling sentences, I bet you can already guess who's going to be heir. #deadgiveaway #sorryforthehashtag #itweettoomuch



(Left) Henry: YAY my BIRTHDAY *claps*
(Right) Henry: I can feel hair around my ears. How did it grow this long so quickly? D:



I only have one, very large font-sized word:

HUNK

Now, it's been so long since I updated, so I can't remember if you guys already know about his stats. I need to go back and read previous updates.

*insert a period of 30 minutes here I spend reading previous updates*

Ok! I only skim-read my previous updates, but I don't think you all know that Henry is frugal. I think that works well with his eco-friendly trait. Some may call him stingy, I call him super hot.



Sadly Edith is getting older, rather than younger, so someone needs to begin taking an interest in her garden to keep it thriving. What better candidate than Henry! Producing his own produce (heh), saving money by using his own home-grown ingredients in his meals...now if that's not frugal then I obviously don't understand the definition of frugal.



Henry also seems to want to be an inventor, and rolls a want to buy a workbench. I oblige of course...him being my favourite and all.



The key word is that he *wants* to be an inventor. He does run into a few mishaps...



He might be stinky for another 40 minutes, but Normie has completed his LTW without me even noticing! Bad Kate! But yay Normie! I guess all that vaccinating paid off...



Romantic moments in the bathroom are...well, romantic I guess. Just let Edith & Chris show you.

Edith: Your hair is so soft, hon...did you use Herbal Essences today?



Rupert: Hi guys! I don't think you'll see me as you both seem to be immersed in books...Tobes must take after you in that respect, Grandma. Yeah. I'll just wave and go downstairs now.

Admittedly this is one of the few times I've actually seen Edith reading a book. But if anyone can correct me I will be willing to be corrected.



Just before the school bus arrives, it's time for Charlotte's birthday! Gotta love a pyjama party, literally.



Rupert: WOW she looks just like Mum with those pigtails!
Charlotte: I look just like Mum...? D:



I honestly can't get over how much she looks like Chelsey, except with Edith's red hair. I've probably already said this before, but it bears repeating.

She rolled the schmoozer trait. Only time will tell if that'll be interesting or not!

I think that's enough for today. I'm off to play some TS3 while I have the bug. Hope you are all well!

[Kate]

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.13

Normie, for the perks of being a bit of a celebrity around town, gets an invite to Jun Xu’s party. Now, I’m not really sure who Jun Xu is, but she has some pretty cool pink sunglasses. And if I’ll be honest, the only reason that party is going to be awesome is because Normie will make an appearance…



Edith: Feng, have I ever gushed about my grandchildren?
Feng the Maid: No, Mrs Warner…
Edith: Then let me do so now! D: *whips wallet of photos from non-existent pocket*
Feng the Maid: *sigh* I have cleaning to do, Mrs Warner…
Edith: This is Rupert! Just look at his Riker-esque appearance…
Feng the Maid: *bigger sigh* I definitely don’t look like Commander Riker…



Charlotte enjoys being quite the chemist, but all she seems to make are ‘Stink Juice’ potions. I’m not sure people like to stink all the time, hon.



It finally rolls around to the day of Jun Xu’s huge party, so since he doesn’t really have a lot else on, Normie attends. After all, there *might* be the chance to inoculate some people. Teehee.

…But it turns out there isn’t. Normie and Jun spend the whole party standing in the hallway of her apartment complex, chatting. No food. No annoyingly tinny music. No nothing. Just chatter. #youcallthataparty?



While Normie is away NOT raving it up, Toby has his induction into young adulthood. Once again he manages to lose some hair in the process. Why game, why?!



The Warner’s very own Einstein lookalike rolls the Hydrophobic trait. I had completely forgotten that his LTW is to become a Star News Anchor, and I can’t remember if I told you guys either. I really should stop taking extended periods away from the game. *DOH*



Because it’s his body and he can do what he wants with it, Henry gets a tattoo. For some reason I didn’t take a photo of his actual tattoo. I think I probably got distracted by his mass of dark body hair.

*sigh* He’s a bunch of pixels, Kate…



A line of Warner now young adult offspring standing outside City Hall, you know what this means…

…no? You don’t know? Oh, well, it’s ‘Graduation from High School’ day.

Rupert graduates with Honour and is voted ’Most Likely to be Mediocre’.
Henry graduates with Honour and is voted ’Most Likely to Save the World’. This is true y’know.
Toby graduates with Highest Honour and is voted ’Most Likely to Burn Down Their Own House’.



Rupert: HELL YES, GO ME. MOST LIKELY TO BE MEDIOCRE, I AM PROUD OF THIS ACHIEVEMENT.
Me: But Riker definitely isn’t mediocre… D:



Instead of taking the time to congratulate her children, Chelsey takes it upon herself to have a complete ‘fan-girl’ moment and freaks out in front of a celebrity. She pesters him for an autograph for ages.

Admittedly I don’t think I’ve ever seen her that excited, unless she’s using the swing set.

Toby: Is there anyone here who wants to talk to me?



Toby: …Still nobody to congratulate me? I got Highest. Bloody. Honours. *sigh*

One of the kids’s fellow graduating classmates, Lil, decides to strike up a conversation with Normie (everyone talks to you when you’re famous!). Half way through the conversation however, things take a turn for the worse. Lil goes a bit…well…funny.

Lil: I’m not feeling so good… *starts pulling contorted facial expressions*



Normie: Are you ok? It’s ok, there’s no need to panic. I’M A DOCTOR.
Ladies: Oh Normie, you’re such a hero…
Paparazzi: I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me, Papa-paparazzi! LOL JK I’m catching this heroic moment on film so I can earn myself lots of monies



Oh Normie, you’re such a hero



A free vay-cay? For all the adults? Leaving Charlotte on her lonesome? Leaving me with only one Sim to control after going crazy with 7 others? Why, sure, if you insist, game…



YOU JUST KNOW THAT’S GOT TO HAPPEN.

Tune in next time to see what Charlotte gets up to with no adults around. Remember, when the cat’s away, the mice will play…or will they? Hee hee hee!!

That update where Charlotte gets into lots of mischief? Let me show you it.

The Warner Legacy: Update 3.14

Before she parties like it’s 1999, Charlotte decides to get her homework done. After all, it’s not worth having your unfinished homework on your mind at a party. Not that I’m sure homework could still be on a teen’s brain after a few drinks, mind…

Oh, and look at the pretty city lights! *Kate’s eyes glaze over*



Charlotte celebrates the absence of all the Warner adults by staring into the wet depths of the giant fish tank separating the kitchen from the dining room.



And then she makes a few potions. Jeez, Charlotte, you really know how to live when the adults aren’t around to bother you. These are things you’d probably be doing if they were around!!



Later that afternoon, the first few guests arrive for Charlotte’s Teen Party.

It turns out that these two are the only guests who show up, and the rest of her classmates don’t bother. Wow, this sure is going to be a rowdy party…



The three of them dance the night away. Ah well, at least Charlotte looks like she’s having some fun…



A “modest” success? A party involving three teens dancing for a few hours? If I’m brutally honest, game, I’m not sure how you can deem that a “modest success”.



Charlotte: RAH TAKE THAT BIG SHINY CELEBRITY HOUSE WITH BIG SHINY LOCKED GATE, MY PARTY SUCKED SO FACE THE WRATH OF MY SHINY WHITE EGGS

*insert a sequence of Charlotte unable to throw a few eggs very far here*



Teen who lives in that house (and also happens to be one of Charlotte’s party guests): WTF WHY IS SHE ATTEMPTING TO THROW EGGS AT MY WINDOWS?? IT’S NOT LIKE I DIDN’T SHOW UP TO HER PARTY. MEH I’M CALLING THE POLICE



It doesn’t take long for the cops to show up. They seem to get wind of teenagers who misbehave very quickly. It needs to be more like this in real life, but unfortunately it won’t, especially when there are budget cuts to the police force and other public services all the time. #sorrytorant

Charlotte: Travelling in style



Preoccupied by the chaos that is Charlotte’s life, I fail to notice that the Warner adults return, and end up at a bar on the outskirts of the city. I’m not really sure why I’ve included this picture, but meh she has a relatively cool outfit. And I’ve just noticed the facial paint.



Normie decides to show up in his very brief swim trunks. Well, why not?

Toby on the other hand…



Toby: WHAT IS THIS I HEAR? WHILE WE’RE AWAY YOU HAVE A TEEN PARTY AND THEN PROCEED TO GO EGG SOMEONE’S HOUSE??! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU

(Why is it that her brother is the one to give her a lecture, and not her father? Lectures always mean more when they come from your dad; they’re scarier that way.)



Charlotte: Whoa, bro, calm down! My party sucked, and I don’t exactly have a good throwing arm either. I didn’t egg much of that house…and then the police showed up…



The moral of today’s story is simple: if you’re going to throw a party, get permission first. If you don’t want to get permission, make sure you keep the party secret.

Oh, and if you’re going to egg someone’s house, make sure you use old, past-their-expiration-date eggs, the smell will be horrid.

KATE!
I saw you post a few days ago, but have been so busy with work I wasn't able to post and say hi... "HI!"

This place has been a ghost town lately. I have been checking in now and then, but no one really around. Is good to see someone posting again. Reminds me I need to finish up my family story too, but I am still consumed in Skyrim O.O

Okay off to read your updates
