The Summers Legacy - SAD NEWS

[Piñacolada]

Thanks anti

I think the basic house that they are living in came from mts2, i just like the porch bit... i have modified it myself each time i've used it though so the download doesn't look exactly like that. Am not too good at starting from scratch to build, doesn't usually go well, am not very good at proportions!

And if ya lucky I may show you the result of Isobel's pregnancy in the next update hehe.

[Dizzy]

Great Update!!
^I have no idea where that came from.. I must have accidentally hit it while the page was loading )

The twins look very cute.. and good to see that even though Connor is a criminal he still takes the time to be a good dad...hehe... even if potty training is a bit boring.

YAY! I *had* been wondering about Louie and Izzy... good to see they are getting on in life well... ohhhh... I wanna see Izzy's baby too! I bet it will be really cute being a mix of her and Mr. Charlie Quinn!

Hehehe... I like their houses... and how they are almost the same one

Oh and on the building houses and proportions... I found some graph paper I think it's like 4x4 or something... anyways.. it pretty much is one square on the paper equals one square on the building grid... it must be the size of the graph paper... cause it wouldn't work for all.
Anyways... I will draw out my floor plans on that.. and cause it's graph paper it's real easy to line things up if you draw 2 stories (or 3 etc..) and then when you build it you just have to count the squares. I usually will build all the walls looking straight down at the ground.. so it looks just like a piece of graph paper.

[Piñacolada]

Lol thanks for the cyclops face Dizz!

And yes Connor = loving father by day, criminal by night! lol

I like to make my houses similar sometime in a street or neighbourhood, think it looks cute/realistic? Coz thats how it is where i live...

Thanks for the building tip by the way, i might try that actually. Will probably help me to plan before i build, usually goes a bit haywire in the middle somewhere! And am terrible at making my houses far too big, which then annoys me having tiny bits of furniture stuck in the middle of MAHUUSIVE rooms lol. Am sure my brother has some graph paper i can pinch...

And you wanna see Isobel's baby too ey? Well be nice and you may get what you wish for in the next update! hehe.

[Dizzy]

*bakes a fresh batch of double chocolate chip cookies*
<<--- All for you Colada


Yeah the first house I built was hugantic! Until i found that my graph paper matched the graph on the sims... I actually already had a ton of floor plans drawn up cause i enjoy doing that in my free time So for a lot of my houses it was just then translating that to the sim.
Happy building.

[arinthea]

Ahh the twins look identical except for the haircolor. I've never had identical twins before, suppose its coz I usually get a boy and girl set.

Cool to see that your playing the other sims Isobel and Louie, most people delete them once they have picked the heir. :tup:

Cool update Pina
:update:

[Piñacolada]

Yehhhh thanks Dizz! *munches cookies*

arinthea: Yeh i think the twins may be identical in their facial features, that seems to happen to me a few times in game! Yehh i thought i'd play them a little bit, usually like having more than one house on the go in game. And thankyou

Next update mayybe tomorrow... depends what time i finish class.

[Kate]

Whoaaaa, am I a bit late? Damn it... I'm slow replying to things when I'm at school *grumble*

OMG, I have to say before I forget, but I LOL-ed when I saw that the father of Isobel's child was CHARLIE! Oooh, you have to give us an update on what the baby looks like!

...and I'm starting to think you like that house both Isobel and Louie live in - it's just the same house with different exterior wallpaper, isn't it?

But what a great update! Jam-packed full of... mmm, jam. Yeah, you get my drift.

I can't believe Cymmi is an elder! Aww, poor kitty... soon he will go on the CSKDL (Cool Sim-Kitty Dead List) but will never be forgotten.

Imogen and Mia aren't too bad! I can't wait to see the new arrival though! I'd like to see it being a boy this time.

:update:

Ooh and Katie, you'll be proud of me - I watched Top Gear last night!

I was around my sisters house awaiting 24 and we were flicking through the channels... we saw something about the Brit Awards so we stayed on the channel to discover it was Top Gear! Hehehe, I was killing myself laughing at the pimped up Limos!

[Piñacolada]

Hehe glad you approve of my use of Charlie Kate
And yes I do like to use the base of that house and modify it, see Dizzy's comments
Errr yeh jam... lol
Am glad Cymmi will make that list! Will make the pain of losing him slightly more bearable
Yeh Imogen and Mia are ok, hope they grow into their noses! Am hoping the new baby is a boy too, even things out in the house a bit! But we'll have to see...

And top gear ey?! I am proud! hehe
It was soo funny last night! Love that show, always is! Shame it was the last one of the series

[Kate]

I knoww, when it got to the end I was thinking, "Hmm maybe next week I'll watch it the whole way through" but then when Jeremy Clarkson said it was the last of the series I was like: "Oh poo".

[Piñacolada]

You shall have to watch it when it comes back in the summer! :tup:

[Kate]

I will, I'll try.

And ughh, I forgot to use the pun when I said "you'll be proud of me" - instead I was going to say "ORANGE you proud of me" but I forgots.

[Piñacolada]

Haha! Aww bless ya Kate, very cute!

2.4 - An expanding family

As we re-join the Summers household, we find Holly once again going into labour:

Come on Holly, you can do it! Everyone has come to watch! (Including Connor and the twins, but they couldn't fit in the pic coz they were stood in a stupid place! )

Yayyy a baby girl! (Managed to fit everyone in the pic this time!)
Here's the baby:

Who shall now be named Eliza. Hello Eliza!
She has Holly's skintone and eyes and Connor's hair... aww a little red-head!

The others members of the Summers family are getting on well. Aiden and Phoebe are busy spending their twilight years skill building to get those vital promotions.
And they love to spend their days off lounging around by the pool:

The twins make the house a very lively place to live, Aiden and Phoebe are glad they are there, they think it keeps them young!
They get on really well and are always playing together:


Here are their stats by the way, as i forgot last time:

Imogen:
Star sign - Aries
Sloppy/neat: 10
Shy/outgoing: 10
Lazy/active: 9
Serious/playful: 3
Grouchy/nice: 1

Mia:
Star sign - Scorpio
Sloppy/neat: 6
Shy/outgoing: 5
Lazy/active: 8
Serious/playful: 6
Grouchy/nice: 3

And Connor is now working as a smuggler by night and loving daddy by day.
Here he is looking after the new-born:

helping the twins with their homework:

and even playing dollies!

Hehe! Aww what a good daddy

Thanks to all Connor's help with the homework, and some added schmoozing he got the twins into private school, yayy go Connor!
Here they are heading off to school in their cute little uniforms:

Hopefully they'll soon be able to bring home A+ report cards!

And so all is well (if not hectic!) in this household.
Hopefully things should start to get easier from here on, as long as there's no more new editions anways, don't think i can cope with any more sims in this house!
So anyways off to see what the other Summers households have been up to and...
Huh.. what the.. hang on.. whats this?!

Holly is pregnant again??! God dammit Connor! How am i gonna cope?!
Better only be one baby for goodness sake...
So err yeh, another new arrival to look forward to (sarcastic) yayy!

And to make Holly's pregnancy even more fun, she now has a little toddler to take care of as its already Eliza's birthday!
Here's the whole family gathering round the cake:

(Connor really getting into the celebrations their! lol)
And here's toddler Eliza!

(Loving the tux kid! Not )
And soo avec make-over we have...

Ahhh! Much better!

And...

Not long to go now ey Holly?! (She's totally digging those funky purple pjs!)

And so now we can go and see what's happening elsewhere...
And in a Summer's household down the road...
Isobel has given birth to a beautiful baby girl!

She has been named Lila. And she's a little Charlie clone!
In sadder news, Buffy the dog has passed away She was an elder when Isobel adopted her... but she lived a happy if not short life with Isobel. You will be missed Buffy!
And Louie has got more promotions, but still no wife!

[Dizzy]

Awww a new baby! YAY! She is soo cute and love the red hair.
And another new baby.. Connor must really love Holly

It's soo cute that he is a loving father.. the picture of him playing dolls is just adorable!

And so nice that the twins get along.. cause some times that could go wrong.

Great to see Izzy's baby too... you will have to keep us posted on her and she grows

[Antilife]

Yay! I loved the update, Pina! great job!~

The pics of the pregnancy are cute. I like how everyone had to be in a scrammed pic. LOL! Wow! A red-head. You have a lot of veriaty. I mean, blonde, black hear, now red! That's really surprising. i would have never huess it would be so vast in culture. Wow! i guess it's because it's gen. 2 and at this point there are a lot of different genes.

The twins looks so cute together. How sweet! and conner looks like such a sweet and loving father. how adorable! I think it's funny that he was playing with the dolls! :haha: Preggers again! *faints* i hope it's a boy this time. We'll have so many different kids to choose as the heir! It'll be so hard to choose.... Toddler Eliza looks cute. I love the big cheeks. So cute! I can't wait to see her as a kid. I hope we get to see the new arrival soon, too!

oh, and sorry to hear about buffy! But, I'm glad that Izzy's family is moving along nicely. Well, I guess those genes are strong. Man, a Charley clone! I hope you get something different next time!

:update:

[Simmertime]

I agree we will have alot to choose from come voting time when the next generation is up. I'm really liking you keeping up with the other families/kids. I'm loving the red headed pig-tailed Eliza what a little cutey.

[Piñacolada]

Dizzy: Thankyou! I thought it was adorable when Eliza was born with red hair! And yes another baby, slightly insane but i think Connor's hoping for a boy! Bless him being such a good daddy! hehe. Drives me a little mad sometimes though when all he wants to do is pick up the baby and look after it allll the time! I was pleased the twins got on too, i've had twins that argue a lot before... but they play nice!
And yes i shall show you updated pics of Lila as she grows

Anti: Thankyou. Yehh am well pleased with the variety of the kids in this generation after the last one! You better start thinking bout your choice soon hehe. New baby and an older Eliza coming soon! *pinches her chubby cheeks*

Sherry: Thankyou! Yes I can't wait to see how the votes go, shall be interesting. They all seem so different!

[arinthea]

Bye bye Buffy *sniff*
Wow, you sure do have a lot of sims in your house, don't know how you do it. I've got 5 and I wanna smack myself :mindblow:

Looking forward to the twins growing up, think they're gonna be really pretty. Might have a hard time choosing the heir.

:update:

[Piñacolada]

Yeh am a little worried bout the amount of sims am gonna have in my house now arinthea! Thinking maybe the new baby wasn't such a good idea now... lol. Ahh well, definitely no more after this one! Connor will just have to sulk! hehe.

[Piñacolada]

2.5 - A full house!

Here we are, back again in the veryy full (and soon to be fuller!) Summers household.

Despite being heavily pregnant, as the only sim at home (and awake!) in the day, Holly has been busy looking after Eliza. About time she did some toddler training as she was working when the twins were little!
Here she is teaching Eliza how to use the potty:

Which pleased Connor, as much as he loves his little girls we all know he hates potty training!
He does love teaching them to talk though... but Holly sorted that one out this time

Eliza's first word = high chair?? Ook... lol.
Connor did manage to muscle in eventually though, to teach his little fellow red-head how to walk:

Gooo Eliza!
She's been a big hit with all the family, even the twins like to play with her.

Yup there's Mia being very encouraging! Keep up that charisma training Eliza and you'll be off to sim university to get a degree in no time!

However, Eliza isn't going to be the centre of attention for much longer, as its that time again...

Yup, labour time! This time starring a very shocked repairman lol.
After much shoving, and yelling, and the repairman looking like he may be about to pass out, we have...

a baby BOY! Yehh Connor will be so pleased! He loves his little girls but really wanted a son to even up the numbers a bit! And *phew* maybe now he'll leave Holly alone!
Here is the little tyke anyways:

He has Phoebe's hair, Connor's eyes and Holly's skin (just like Mia).
And he shall now be known as Jake.
As you can see Connor wasn't present at the birth as he was sound asleep upstairs, exhuasted after a very long night shift and Holly didn't want to wake him.
When he did get up however, he had a lovely surprise, a much longed for son!

Feeling the need to compete for attention off their adorable younger siblings, the twins knuckle down and try extra hard in their classes at school, and in their homework.
This soon pays off, as they bring home...
A+ report cards, woo!


Connor is delighted with them


In other good news...

Yup Phoebe has managed to achieve her life-time want! Yayy Phoebe!!
Aiden is still one promotion away i think, lets hope he gets his skates on and starts working harder to achieve his too!
(Side note - must be some weird bug in my game, Connor randomly got demoted a couple of positions without even going to work So he's gonna have to work harder now too!)

And.. time flies when you're having fun, and so its soon time for another round of birthdays!
Eliza is up first

(Excuse the lateness of the pic sorry, something distracted me so i was a little late!)
Sadly grandpa Aide and grandma Pheebs couldn't be there as they were at work.
Anyways, here's Eliza as a little girl:

Aww lovely ginger curls! hehe

Her star sign is pisces.
I forgot to write down her stats, sorry! Will get them next time am in game...

And now it's Jake's turn!

(Gotta love that shot, baby Jake with his mouth wide-open! hehe)
Annnd after a quick make-over we have.. toddler Jake!

Ahhh! So cute!

Soo thats all we have time for in this update... whats that? The other Summers household? Ohh ok
Just a quick sneak peak...

Ahhh toddler Lila!
Andd...

Meet Cleo, Isobel's new doggy, yay! Sorry Buffy, not replaced, not forgotten, honest!
And as for Louie.. yeh well.. more promotions for him.. nothing else interesting...

What will happen in the next update?
Head right back here soon to find out!
