The Broke Legacy: Gen 4.2

[simgaroop]

Previous update: Gen 4.1.





I could barely hide my excitement.
I was mommy! I now held in my arms a lovely baby girl with whom I'd play for hours and hours!
This was awesome!




Except for the moments in which Rose Mary cried like a banshee.
And those moments occurred... all the freaking time.




Arghh! And I hated to change her diapers so much!




A few weeks later, Bonkers became a full grown cat.




.Natalia adored him and spent a lot of time playing with him.




Me? I barely had time to breathe!
With the DDR tournament so close, I had to practice several hours a day.
I'd lost a lot of skill during my pregnancy.
And let's not forget my small business!
My clients were so demanding!
Even Bottom and Titania (who had come from Veronaville to meet Rose Mary) wanted a piece of my mad scissor skills!




So yeah... I was so busy that I accidentally left the oven on.
And I still have no idea what was Rosie doing in the kitchen.
Ooops!




Thank Goodness that we had a fire alarm.
And that Puck was at home.




Puck got a teensy bitsy mad at me...
All right... I admit it... he was pissed off.
He barely talked to me that day.
I promised I'd never do that again.
It's just that... things at home weren't as fine as always.
I was also a bit depressed... and it wasn't post-partum depression.
I missed my father.
We hadn't talk to each other since Puck's abduction.




Speaking of that, its effects became evident a few weeks later.
Puck had awful cramps all the time. He was nauseous and dizzy.
He could barely walk straight.




Soon after that, his belly began to grow.
He was so scared! Despite how much I explained what was happening to him,
Well... I guess that for a man, a pregnancy is quite a shock.




My father celebrated his birthday almost alone.
Only Natalia and my mother were there.
Andrew refused to even talk to him when Dad tried to invite him to the small celebration.




Therefore, his only pastime was his music.
He spent hours and hours on the piano.
It was as if he didn't exist anymore.




When my explanations failed, I gave Puck several Graslaxian books.
He wasn't exactly pleased when he read a detailed account of the pollinization procedure.
He also began to search on the Internet about other Graslaxians that have lived at Strangetown in the past.
I guess he wanted to know more about the life that his baby would have.




He was forced to leave his job for a little while.
Now that Puck spent more time at home, he tried to be with Rose Mary as much as possible.

What about his boss, you may ask?

Well, Dad left a letter in our room, addressed to Puck's boss.
As a doctor, he had written on it that Puck was currently suffering a weird case of Purple Fever and had to stay in bed for several weeks.




I found him on the dining room, alone as always.
- "Thanks for the letter, Father... I..."
- "Please don't call me that way, Wanda. You... you always called me Dad..."
- "Well, I'm not exactly happy with you at the moment..."
- "I'll forever regret what I've done, Wanda. Do you think this was an easy decision? They'd taken Andrew on force! And at least Puck has an understanding wife while your brother... well... that might be the end of his family. I didn't want to hurt you, I swear!"




- "I... I know you didn't want to hurt us. At least Puck is safe... well... he's been acting weird lately, but it's expected with what he's going through. And well... I've been thinking about it and... I guess that if I'd been in your position, I'd had done the same. I'd do anything for Rosie..."
- "I see..."
- "I... I don't want to be mad at you, Dad. I love you, and you're my role model but... why didn't you tell me about this? We might have looked for a solution, even tried to talk Puck into this..."
- "Wanda... I'm so sorry... I was a fool and..."
- "I forgive you, Dad. I can't be mad at you any longer..."




- "You have no idea how happy this makes me! Now we are going to be back to normal!"
- "I forgive you, Dad. But I'm still not sure about Puck... that's something you'll have to figure out on your own..."




Dad smiled for the first time in months.




Months went by, and Puck's belly was now so big that we feared he was expecting twins.




Puck had finally come to terms with his pregnancy.
He had finally accepted the fact that he was going to give birth to an alien baby.
He was even glad and anxious to meet his child!




Dad approached him one night.
"Puck? I'd like to talk to you..."




Dad explained to my husband everything that moved him to do what he did.
"And I know nothing will ever justify what I did to you. I'm sorry for deceiving and manipulating your life. I was selfish and inconsiderate and..."




- "And if it weren't for your actions, I wouldn't have found Wanda at College. I wouldn't have married her and Rose Mary wouldn't exist. I'm angry at you for messing with my life, for the choices I was never able to take. But... I've sometimes wondered if this was my destiny after all. Perhaps it was the right thing to get abducted. Perhaps this baby will bring surprises to my life... just like you were an unexpected gift for your father so many years ago..."




Puck forgave my father.
Dad promised he'd help Puck in everything he needed once the baby was born.
"Just like my father had P.T. Smith's help when I was born, I'll aid you with yours. I'll show you how to raise a fine Graslaxian... one everyone at my planet will be proud of. But I'm sure you'll make a good job, Puck. Not everyone is chosen by the Graslaxians. You have to be a truly special human..."




Puck finally allowed Dad to check on the baby.
- "Yeah, I can only hear one heartbeat and three lungs. You are having one healthy Graslaxian baby!"




- "Mr. Broke, may I ask you something?"
- "Anything, my son!"
- "When I was in the ship... the pollination technician that... worked with me told me that all my answers resided in one name..."
- "I don't understand what you're talking about, Puck."
- "Do you know someone named Chloe?"




- "Chloe? I'm afraid I don't know anybody with that name, Puck..."




Puck's final weeks of his pregnancy were very hard.
He was so tired; he was barely able to keep his head straight for a few minutes.
His baby was consuming all the energy reserves in Puck's body.




Therefore, the sight of my poor husband, lying unconscious on the floor, became a constant sight at our home.
I was seriously worried... I didn't want him to die just like Mom when she gave birth to me!




Dad invented a strange machine that'd refill Puck's energy reserves in no time.




I... I wasn't exactly sure if it was safe for a pregnant man to be exposed to such strong energy charges.
But then I remembered he wasn't exactly expecting a normal baby...




Finally, one night, Puck woke up feeling an intense pain on his belly.
"Wanda! What's happening to me?!"




- "Please, Puck. Take deep breaths! I'm gonna look for my father, don't worry!"




But before I could leave the room, he gave birth to a healthy, green girl.
I still have no idea where did she... come out from!




- "Thank Goodness! A new member of the Graslaxian race has been born!"




Puck named her Helena...




And it was love at first sight.




Puck just... couldn't believe that this small girl had been living inside him for so long.
It was a miracle, indeed. He was fascinated with her.




Dad, of course, was also thrilled to have another Graslaxian in the house.
When Puck and I returned to our jobs, he spent most of his time in the nursery.




-"Ewww, Dad! That smell is not normal!"
- "Of course not, dear Natty. Our digestive tracts work with sulfuric acid, after all!"




A few months later, it was time for Rose Mary's birthday.




She reminded me of her father so much...




She was such a sweet and playful little girl, just like mommy!
She often spent hours and hours with her toys.




Dad adored her.
He declared himself her mentor, and made sure that she'd learn all her basic skills...




With the help of the Graslaxian formula!




Puck also helped, of course.




And pretty soon, we could hear Rose Mary's steps all over the house!
How adorable!




Me? Well...
One morning, I was having breakfast with Natalia.




-"Can you believe it, Wanda? I'm going to La Fiesta Tech in less than a year! I can't wait for it!"




But I didn't listen to anything she said, because I was feeling sick.
I had a horrible stomach-ache and felt like throwing up...




And yeah, that's what I did.
Yuck!




-"Wanda? Are you all right, honey?"
After an examination at his lab, Dad had big news.
I was pregnant of course!
I wasn't exactly happy with this news, though.
It was way too soon for another baby!




Rose Mary was just a toddler!
A well behaved one, but still a baby nonetheless!




And Helena... sweet, dear Helena.
Was just a couple months old...




... and a complete pain in the butt.
Yeah, so I complained that Rose Mary was a bit annoying as a baby.
But Helena was so much worse!




Although Puck still looked after her as much as he could, he had been recently hired as a Family Attorney.
His shifts were longer and therefore he was out most of the day.




Leaving me alone with Helena...




And I had no idea how to handle her!
She was so different from Rosie!
And my growing belly and back-ache didn't help either!




Helena was so demanding, that I must admit I neglected Rose Mary a bit.




Yeah, she wasn't happy at all.




Good thing she had Grandpa Cosmo.
Dad and Rosie were very close!




I'd never seen Dad so happy.
He didn't mind the constant screaming or the horrible smell from the diapers (especially Helena's).
He was just happy to see the house so full of life.

_______________________________________




Months went by,
Puck and Natalia were busy with their studies.
I could understand Nat, because she'd leave for LFT any moment but... what was Puck so interested with?
"As a family attorney, I must study Strangetown's population registry constantly, Wanda."




My belly was HUGE!
I could barely believe my pregnancy would soon be over.
Between Rose Mary and Helena, I'd barely had time to get bored or to look after my business.
Wanda's Pinky Scissors had been closed for a couple months now.




It was time to celebrate Helena's first birthday, so Puck called all our loved ones for her party.




That night, we had Saturn, Tamara and Aunt Molly in the living room.
Only Andrew was missing.
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!"- I said as I opened the door- "Hey, Andrew! Did you find a lot of tra... WHAT THE HELL?!"




With Andrew living away from Strangetown, we had got used to not having news from him.
But this... this was a huge shock.




Andrew was pregnant!
Scratch that!
He was not only pregnant... he was almost due! He was just like me!
We stared at each other's huge bellies for a few minutes.




And then we did the only thing one can do in this situations.
We broke down laughing.




- "We were always close, big bro, but I never expected we were THAT close!"




Puck was a surprised as I was when he came out of the living room to greet Andrew.
Of course, my brother told us his story...

________________________________




He'd been so happy when he heard the news of Helena's birth.




But at the same time, he felt miserable.
That baby was supposed to be his.
He was the one with the mission to carry a new Graslaxian... but he had been denied of that honor.
He was forced to pretend he wasn't related to the aliens. To be just Andrew Goth... (He started using Mom's last name per Autumn's request, just in case someone at Weirdsquare knew about us crazy Brokes).




But there was a very strong reason for his sacrifice.
Sarah's happiness was everything Andrew cared for.




Of course, for someone with Andrew's personality, it was too hard to pretend all the time.
And after so many years of pretending, he was starting to get tired.
He argued with Autumn frequently.




Ashamed of denying his roots, Andrew had a secret pastime.
He bought an expensive telescope, and spent hours at night stargazing.
He remembered the times when Dad taught him the names of the stars.
Which one was Graslax's Sun?
The Graslaxian stories and legends.
Dad's adventures in the Mother Ship.
He wanted to be part of that race so bad!




And then his wish was granted!




Andrew's surprised screams were heard by Autumn. She went outside, and freaked out when she found her husband.
"Andrew! What the heck is happening?!"




- "Daddy?"




- "Don't worry for me, Sarah. Everything's going to be all right! I'm just going out for a little while!"




- "Argh! Andrew! We have a dinner with the Mayor tomorrow! This is not the time for your you-know-what non-sense! It's all your family's fault!"




To keep things simple: Yes, Andrew was abducted.
He spent a couple days at the Mother Ship.
He was marveled by everything he saw on board.
He met our other Grandpa too!




But all things must come to an end, and Andrew returned home.
But of course, he didn't return alone...

_______________________________




Saturn was also pleasantly surprised with Andrew's abduction.
"I knew you'd do it, Andrew! You are a true Broke, after all!"




Mom was excited with the imminent arrival of two new grandkids.




And Dad... well... he almost broke down in tears when he saw Andrew.
He was so proud of him.
"I'm so sorry for sub estimating you! You really are a true graslaxian descendant! But... what about your wife?"




- "She hasn't figured out I'm pregnant yet. She thinks I'm just fat, because I've been hiding my belly as long as possible. She was so angry when I got abducted but... I'm tired, Dad. I don't want to feel ashamed of my roots anymore. I guess that the truth will come out any moment now... I'm a bit scared of how things will turn out, though..."




- "Just remember that no matter what happens, we'll be always here to support you, all right?"




Saturn gave birth to a boy a few months after Rose Mary was born.




He named him Mars.




But yeah, despite the Andrew surprise, the party girl was Helena!




I just prayed she'd be easier to handle as a toddler!

____________________




As you can see, the party was a huge success.
Not only did we have a great time, but our family ties were mended.




We couldn't ask for a better birthday present for Helena.
Or a better home for our son to be born in.




I went into labor the following morning.




Puck was extremely worried!
I guess that after dealing with pregnancy (and labor) himself, he was more sensitive to what I was feeling.
Now I understood Grandpa Beau's anxiousness when my sister's were born!




The whole family was present as I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.




We named him Timothy Broke.
"Welcome to the family, Timmy!"
________________________




But as happy as Timmy's birth was... things were different at Weirdsquare.
Andrew was very anxious. He knew he'd have to tell his wife the truth, but he was afraid of the consequences.
Between that, and his advanced pregnancy, he was an emotional wreck.




He barely listened to what his wife said.




Umm... I wonder if this is the right moment to tell her I'm expecting a green baby..."




"Oh Andrew! I guess marriage has been good to you! Look at that pudge! You need to go to the gym! An important Entertainment Attorney won't look good on camera with that belly!"




"Yeah Autumn... whatever you say..."




The baby was due any moment now.
What'd happen when he went into labor? How would Autumn handle it?
Who'd help him? His father was several kilometers away!




His problems were gone the day Sarah discovered the truth.
She was watching TV with her father.
She rested her head on his belly and then... she sat up, alarmed.




"Daddy! I felt something moving inside your tummy! Do you have a baby inside?"




"Wh... why do you think that, Sarah? That's ridiculous!"
"Don't tell lies, Daddy! You often tell me that's wrong!"
Andrew sighed: It was futile to hide the truth from his daughter, so he explained her everything.




Sarah was not weirded out by his story.
On the contrary, she was excited!




A baby brother!
A baby brother from the stars!




And obviously, the first thing she did was to tell Autumn.
"Mommy! Aren't you happy that Daddy's having a baby? It's a baby from another planet too!"




Autumn was incredibly angry.




"What is this bullshit you keep telling our daughter? I told you to not tell her your father's stupid stories!"
"Well, Autumn, my father's stories are not stupid!"




- "They are real! And yeah, it is true that I'm having a Graslaxian baby. And you know what? I'm proud of it!"




- "WHAT?!"




As she watched Andrew rub his belly with the same affection he had rubbed hers when she was pregnant, Autumn felt her blood boil.




- "You! You are a freak! A mistake! Men don't get pregnant! That's sick! And disgusting! And I don't want your revolting baby near my daughter, you hear me!"




- "No! You are the mistake, Autumn! Someone as close minded as you! As selfish! Someone who forced me to give up my family and friends! You are the freak, Autumn! No one as cruel as you should even exist! I don't want you near my baby, either!"




- "I should had done this a long time ago. I'm sick of pretending. I'm Andrew Broke and yeah, I'm the son of an alien. And I'm proud of it! My alien family has done more for the people of Strangetown that you'll ever be able to do for our family! That's it! I'm done with you! I'm going back to Strangetown, where I belong!"




So in the end, Andrew understood that his family was built on a bed of lies.
He'd never be able to raise his daughter in a home filled with anger, resentment and no love.
That's not the family he had grown up with.
It hurt him, but he realized that the only way his daughter would be happy, was if he was out of her life.




Sarah was devastated.
One moment, she was happy with the imminent arrival of her baby brother.
And the other, she was dealing with the fact that Daddy was leaving the house... forever.
Andrew promised he'd visit frequently. He was a great lawyer and had great contacts that'd help him settle a custody arrangement with Autumn, despite what she said.




But the mere sight of Sarah's tears were enough to drive him crazy.




Andrew moved out that night.
He took Tessa with him, and rented a small room in a hotel.
And there he was now, all alone.




But not for much longer...




Unlike me, who had Timmy surrounded by my family, Andrew gave birth by himself.
He didn't have time to call a doctor. Or to call us.
And he gave birth twice!
He had two boys.
He named them Calvin and Hobbes.

And as he watched his sons, he understood that no matter what happened from now on, he wouldn't be alone ever again...

Notes:
- Arrgghh! So many babies! I wanted this Generation to flow a little bit faster than the previous ones, so I had Wanda get pregnant as soon as possible. Actually, there was a moment in which both Wanda and Puck were pregnant, but that didn't make sense with the timeline. Sim's time is so screwed up.
- Rose Mary was demanding... but Helena is true demon spawn! O_O
- Puck nearly died twice during his pregnancy. Then, I had the great idea of using the Energizer... but first I had to throw a party to raise his asp. score. Babies are not good for popularity and pleasure sims!
- I know, I know, the names in this Generation are lame beyond repair. For the ones who didn't catch the references: Timmy is the last of the three main characters from The Fairly OddParents (he's the godson of fairies Cosmo and Wanda); Mars' name follows the Curious-Broke tendency to name their babies after stars and planets (Venus, Halley, Saturn, Andromeda...); Helena is a character from a Midsummer's Night Dream and finally, if you don't know who Calvin and Hobbes are, do yourself a favor and google them. Best comic strip ever! (Oh yeah, Hobbes is also a philosopher).
- Speaking of Calvin and Hobbes, here's a picture of them as toddlers (because I can't invite toddlers over, I'll have to wait until Timmy is a child to bring them to the house).




- No more babies for this generation. That means that possible heirs are Rose Mary and Timmy, who just aged today into a toddler. Let me tell you, he already has a huge advantage in the "race for heirloom" (LOL), but let's see how things develop.

- See you next time! Thanks for reading!

You keep updating! I love you!

Oh, Wanda! Being a mommy isn't as fun as you thought, huh? Changing diapers must be horrible. I've never done it myself so I wouldn't know. Aw! Thank goodness Puck saved Rosie just in time.

Puck's having a baby! YAY! I have a new appreciation for aliens and want to have hundreds of them in my game. I downloaded that abduction enabled hack you uploaded for someone. Thank you!

Poor Cosmo. Even though what he did was wrong, I still love him. He looks so adorable as an elder. =)

Three lungs? Hee! Hmm, who is this Chloe?

I still have no idea where did she... come out from!

LOL! Helena has red hair. I love red hair. haha

Rose Mary is so cute! I love her eyebrows so much. Oooh, Wanda's pregnant again! OH MY GOSH ANDREW'S PREGNANT TOO!

Mars! So cute! Helena is so cute too. I bet Timmy will be adorable too.

Autumn needs to die. Andrew is so amazing. I'm so glad he finally saw the light and realized that his family is more important than his stupid bimbo wife.

Calvin and Hobbes, eh?

Photobucket is being a bitch again? DEATH TO PHOTOBUCKET!

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

^__^

I'll try to keep updating as long as my job and inspiration allow me to. I'm a well known procrastinator when it comes to fandom stuff (I've left tons of fanfics unfinished), so I really want to finish this before my computer blows up or I get distracted by work reports and life in general.

Changing diapers is not too bad. Since I started working, I've had two toddlers at my care, so I had to potty-train them, and that meant tons of diaper changes. You get used to it. But Wanda... always rolled the fear of changing diapers. Makes sense, as a pleasure Sim, she's not a good mommy.

Oh! Sweet! More aliens! I'm glad you'll find that hack useful. I'm still looking for it to give proper credit to the one who made it.

I'm a bit sad now that Cosmo's an elder. I'm trying so hard to not feed him tons of Elixir but... I don't want him to go yet! :(

Puck was impregnated by a red haired alien, so it was obvious that Helena would inherit that too. Not that I'm complaining.

Timmy's cute as a button! And he has pointy ears

Yeah, I decided against killing Autumn. I'm a huge wuss and dislike doing that. It was so hard to me to kill Brandi, Dustin and David (and their wives) the other day. And I'm dreading the moment I'll have to kill Icaro, Molly and Henry (when Cosmo dies), so they won't be around on that community lots. I still have P.T. Smith alive, but I can't kill him! He's so adorable! (and ruined a couple of pictures at community lots).

I had to open a new account for this update. But I'm impressed that Photobucket claims that I used the 25Gb I have in just two weeks! O_O

[amethyststeam.livejournal.com]

OMG, much <3 for this update! =DD

First of all, the storyline was as great as ever, the drama and all the babies! ^^ Second of all, I especially loved (even though they were cheesy!) the names of the babies; and Calvin and Hobbes are so cute as toddlers! :D

I cannot wait for the next update, and to especially see how the children grow up! (And Autumn gets the boot, yay! XD How'd you do that, btw, don't they have to be having an affair or something for you to break a married couple up?)

And pregnancies are so hard for some sims... DD: I finally decided to have Naomi meditate for all of her last pregnancy except for the time it took for her to pop and then give birth! (Of course, it wasn't such a smart idea the first day....cause when she stopped meditating to pay the bills or something she went to the toilet and threw up FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. >_< I almost thought it was a glitch and she'd never stop....but it was just all the times she was supposed to have thrown up throughout the day. =P)

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

In my opinion, no Sims Game is complete without the cheesy names. Ever since I played the Sims 1, I've always given lame names to my Sims! It's so much funnier that way! :)

For making Andrew and Autumn break up, I just had them argue and argue for hours. Andrew was being a bit crazy though, because he was "ARGUE! YAY!" everytime I directed him to a new fight. Once their relationship was low enough, the option to break up appeared. It took a bit of time, though.

And then Andrew had an ASP. failure and went insane. Well, he's the first one in this legacy who needed the doctor's help!

Oh geez... poor Naomi. That must be so annoying. Good idea to have them meditate, because I hate that whole "I'm too tired to eat, but if I go to sleep instead of eating I might dieeee!" combo!

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

He had two boys.
He named them Calvin and Hobbes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[racetrackd.livejournal.com]

OMG I LOVE THIS LEGACY SOOOOOOOOO MUCH <3

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

Oh man! I just read from 3.6 to here!

I really, really hope Andrew gets custody of Sarah. (Poor thing gave birth alone in an apartment/motel room just like when his mom had him!)

We all have generations of less than awesome names. No worries, no one got a really horrid one.

I feel so bad for Sterling (he's one of my 2 favorite Downtownies non-playables), but I'm so glad she married Puck!

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Poor thing gave birth alone in an apartment/motel room just like when his mom had him!

LOL! I hadn't realized that! Now that you mention, it's true! O_O

Personally, I like the names of this generation very much! :) I love cheesy names!

Sterling might return to the story on a future generation. I'd like to marry him to a spare, so I'll give him a make-over and pretend he's a different person.

Thanks for reading!

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh Yay! I can't get enough of this legacy I love it! I got Helena's name and Calvin and Hobbes' names but I Timmy's name totally went over my head. Which sucks because I actually like watching Fairly Oddparents. I love all the cheesy names it's so cute and clever! And I am so happy that Andrew left Autumn but I'm sad for Sarah. Poor girl she's gonna grow up without her Daddy there all the time. Oh and is Chloe the maxis made sim in Strangetown who's related to P.T. Smith? She also has a sister but I can't remember her name right now. I know they live in the Singles household but I can't remember.

Daisy in my new legacy now has two babies, Malcolm and Ava. I'll have to start writing out the legacy but I'm kinda hesitant on it. I've tried so many times to keep a legacy going. I've got so many ideas for other legacies too! After reading yours I've wanted to start Maxis made legacies. I've got all these ideas but I dunno. I'll just have to stick with it.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the Fairly Oddparents! It's a pity that this naming tendency is over with this generation. I'll have to think of something new for generation 5.

You are right, Chloe is the Maxis made sim related to P.T. Smith. Her twin sister is Lola.

Awww, that's so sweet! Dude, whatever you do with your legacy, just make sure you have fun with it. You don't have to write it if you are hesitant (I'll admit that sometimes I'm so worried about the pics that I forget the game-play). Just enjoy it! And try to get to the ten generations! That's the point of the legacy!

[skittlebox.livejournal.com]

Mars sure does have some cheeks on him o_O

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Yep, but he grows into them :(.

[thebattysoprano.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! So! Much! Cuteness! Too many toddlers!

Ohhh, Helena! I love the name Helena; I played her in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Perhaps Helena will turn out as wacky as her namesake! And she's a redhead, so it wouldn't be too far off. Oh, I love that she got Puck's hair!

Puck and Wanda continue to be the cutest couple of all time. I love them so much.

Autumn... is a bitch! That blonde townie is evil in my game too, I tried to get one of my Generation 3 kids with her and she was just nasty. Bah! Autumn takes the cake, though. And poor Andrew! How awful for poor Andrew. I hope he and Sarah will be reunited in the end.


Oooh, and who is this Chloe?

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Perhaps Helena will turn out as wacky as her namesake!

Helena's stats:
Neat 1
Outgoing 6
Active 10
Playful 10
Nice 8

Yeah, something tells me she'll turn out as her namesake! :D

Chloe is one of the alien pre-made Maxis sims. You'll see more of her very soon!

[kingmike1224.livejournal.com]

Awww im sooo happy with this chapter....so many babies. I hear the babies being a pain in the butt...i had one that just wouldnt shut up.

I downloaded the Alien replacement PTs for my game and well i just had to see how it looked...so one of my guys 5 days from elder went a gazing and had a baby and he is adorable.

Babies are not good for popularity and pleasure sims!

LOL my romance sims have had good luck with that...besides the 2nd pregnancy..not 1 fear of having a baby...and they had 9 kids together (2 sets of twins) and now the alien..theres now 6 toddlers running around thwe house along with 3 kids and a teen...needless to say, its a fun experiment...but i wont have that many sims in a generation again

*giggles* i love the fairly oddparents names...now you had me on a kick...i did shes the man names :p

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Nine kids?! Oh my Goodness! How were you able to handle so many toddlers! Having two at the same time is driving me crazy!

You know the best part of having Fairly Oddparents names? That the nanny is named Vicky. I swear I didn't plan it! Just watching "Vicky" taking care of Timmy is so, so funny!

I haven't seen She's the Man. Is that the movie with Amanda Bynes (?) about a girl that dresses like a boy? I watched the trailer and it looked funny, though.

[kingmike1224.livejournal.com]

and, i just have to say i am in love with Andrew and Sarah...and i really really hope Autumn sees a satellite in her future soon!!

Can we get a list of who was impregnated by which alien pollination technician? Without the human element, I want to see which alien baby is related to each other.

I thought it'd be easier with a pic.

[fireflowersims.livejournal.com]

Yay, another update!! I love how often this legacy is updated. It's one of my favorites, so getting to read more of it so often is great.

I was stunned that Andrew really did get pregnant, but so pleased. And I wish that he could have gotten custody of Sarah. *sigh* She deserves so much better than to be left with Autumn. I'm glad that Wanda and Puck forgave Cosmo, too. And the kids are so cute! I can't wait to see how Timmy turns out. Keeping up with the three of them must have been exhausting for you, though.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

You'll still see Sarah, of course! Autumn hasn't really done anything that wouldn't allow her to keep Sarah, though. Just being a bitch with Andrew. But she loves her daughter too!

It'd be easier to handle them if it weren't for Helena and her constant crying. Timmy is also a little demon spawn too! But I'm praying that now he's a toddler, he'll be a bit easier to play with.

What a cute entry!

I once had three pregnant Sims give birth to 7 babies in between them. Luckily it wasn't a legacy, or I would've given up instantly, but it was still chaos.

Chloe Singles (Curious)? Could she be the "father" of Helena? It looks like Lola fathered Andrew's twins. Whoever's on the right in the picture looks almost like a copy of her.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Three pregnant sims! You are brave! And with seven babies, I can't imagine how you handled them all! :S

Chloe is not Helena's "daddy" :D. You'll see what's going on with her pretty soon. Look for the alien chart I've just posted on an earlier comment to see who "fathered" each alien. The baby on the right is Hobbes.

[28balloons.livejournal.com]

YEAH! Go Andrew!

I love your naming scheme. Fairly OddParents rocks! And so do Calvin and Hobbes. Those are some good-looking aliens; I'm going to have to download the custom PTs. :D

Great update!

[disturbedme.livejournal.com]

Could you direct me to the right place for custom PT's?

Thanks!

[disturbedme.livejournal.com]

I love this story so much.

Calvin and Hobbes are CUTE.

[lovelysims.livejournal.com]

hahaha Calvin and Hobbes. <33 Thank you for that! And whichever twin is on the right hand side is so freakin cute I don't even have words.

As for your bandwidth problems... I'm willing to believe it. Your likely one of the most popular legacies out there.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Calvin and Hobbes is made of win! <3

The twin on the right is Hobbes (hence the orange outfit ;)).

I really don't know exactly how the bandwidth deal works, but I can't believe I'd use 25 GIGABYTES in just three weeks. It's not like my pictures are huge and with excellent quality. They are just JPG's!

Well, I got a new account for this update. Let's see what happens! ^^

[blackrosesredxo.livejournal.com]

Hey, where do you get the alien eyes from? Is the site on your new list of downloads? Because they make alien babies so much cuter!

Oh, and how come in some of the photos (the ones with Saturn & Mars (teehee!) and Andrew's family) have white backgrounds? How did you do that??

Calvin and Hobbes! I laughed so much! Especially since I read you post the other day about them! so cute!

[blackrosesredxo.livejournal.com]

& what happened to Bella?
She wasnt mentioned at all in this entry!

[oke-cokey.livejournal.com]

So many alien babies! And they're all so gorgeous! Especially the right twin. Would I be right if I guessed he was Hobbes? The left twin's haircut reminds me so much of Calvin. :D

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Yup, the right twin is Hobbes, with the orange outfit.

And the left one is Calvin. And I didn't even have to give him a makeover! He aged with that haircut and outfit! It was priceless! ^^

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

Fun update! I'm glad that the family is in harmony again.

I love that you're doing T.V names, I was thinking of doing that for my next legacy or the next children in my LaRough legacy. (Yes, I'm still doing that legacy)

I had to get another account on photobucket at one time too, and now I just use that one for my sim posts.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of doing that for my next legacy or the next children in my LaRough legacy. (Yes, I'm still doing that legacy)

Yay! Awesome! I love the LaRough's! ^^

Thank you so much for reading!

Omgosh, how did I never get the fairly oddparents reference! It's absolutely made of win!

Autumn should be renamed to Vicky! /lameness

I'm so happy for Andrewwww! Where was Bella in this update, I thought she died for a minute! Is she one of those boring elders?

Andrew and Wanda pregnant at the same time is just..adorable for some reason!

Pleeeease tell me Helena has elf ears!

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

sorry, that was me

[skyeslegacy.livejournal.com]

And Calvin is named after John Calvin! Calvin & Hobbes are the best and their namesakes are quite adorable. How is it that you end up with the best looking alien babies?

[eldaisy.livejournal.com]

Hello! You wouldn't know me, but I found your legacy through the legacy challenge community and have only just caught up! It's an awesome story that you're telling, but I'm starting to get a headache when I try to work out who is related to who! If it's not too much trouble, could you make a family tree? Thanks either way!

[eldaisy.livejournal.com]

Oh! I also wanted to say how cool the non-heir stories look! I love the white background thing! Sorry, so full of love!

This is great...

I have read through as many updates as I could (I just found you and most updates are showing you are out of bandwidth at Photobucket)but I gotta say, this just made me laugh out loud:


- "Don't worry for me, Sarah. Everything's going to be all right! I'm just going out for a little while!"

That was flippin' awesome!

This is a great legacy, so inventive and so much better than reading pages of legacies full of cursing, rudeness, and stupidity repeated over and over again.

If I read one more line of B*itch and net speak it will seriously bother me.

You realize that truely good storytelling is not based on the number of foul words you know but on the depth of your imagination. Good job.

If you know of any more smart well-written legacies out there, please let me know!

Thanks!

Re: This is great...

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your kind comments, I really appreciate them.

I'm currently having a bit of trouble with Photobucket, so most of my updates are unavailable until October 25th (when they'll restore my bandwith).

I'm so sorry for that. I'm trying to open new accounts to keep my newer updates "alive", though.

Before I started doing this legacy, I enjoyed reading many story-based legacies. These are the ones that inspired me with mine:

The Cutler Legacy
http://uys.livejournal.com/

The Star Legacy:
http://pinksims.livejournal.com/tag/star+legacy

The Foxworth Legacy:
http://foxworthlegacy.livejournal.com/profile

This topic also has a lot of great recs, though I haven't read all of them yet:
http://community.livejournal.com/thesims2/4168264.html

Hope that helps! :)

[sim-pathetic.livejournal.com]

I so adore your legacy! Words can't describe it, seriously. broke Legacy = Hallmark

[sleepyscribbles.livejournal.com]

Yay, no more Autumn! It sucks he couldn't bring Sarah with him though :( Helena is adorable! I just love the alien babies.

I'm curious where you got all your toddler stuff, too :D
