Legacy Cove - Week Fifteen - Archer House

     Wow, Week #15 already!?   I've been playing this neighborhood in spurts for the last year but 15 seems crazy!  

     Here's where we are at though.   Top of the playlist and we are at the core Legacy house with the Archers.   Zachariah is still the reigning patriarch with his queen Antoinette.   Those two are such love birds!  Their son Zack (and daughter Zoey) has just graduated from college and Zack is back at home to prepare to take the helm eventually as top cookie of the neighborhood.  

     Zachariah is still tinkering and his gadgets affect the whole 'hood... 

     Mainly just zapping hooligan kids on the street.  Can't say Eagle didn't deserve it...  Though perhaps I should look into opening a general store so they can buy their own newspapers instead of stealing them.  Hmm.  I'll toy with this idea soon.

     Also in the household is the newest servo bot on the street, Zinc, and their schnoodles Anarosa and Armand.  

     Awww... crap!  Anarosa was a personality and a half!  That dog has been nothing but trouble, yet it just means her presence around the house will be noticed all the more.   Dang it!   I hate the doggy deaths!   DAMN YOU, GRIM!!

     Meanwhile... out in the yard...  GREAT!  While everyone is mourning the loss of that scandalous schnoodle, the kids are taking advantage and trying to steal stuff again.  GET OFF MAH LAWN!

     It's well know that the best way to get through the tough times is by creating some new memories.  Life goes on and romancer Zack has his eye on his next conquest...  To be young again, huh?

     Miss Toots Savoy is a popular gal that doesn't seem to mind being noticed at all.  She loves the attention and all the new friends she seems to be making in the family.  That's a sticky situation for a fling though!

     Wait though... Is this not just a fling?

     All these springtime emotions are clouding romancing Zack's mind, me thinks!

     Getting awfully close to this one, Zack... I hope you know what is going to happen here....

     Maybe Zack doesn't know I've got a keen eye on his wants and fears panels.   Maybe he doesn't know that he's a grown man and has expectations of weddings and children, and if I didn't think he was up to the job then I would have moved in his ambitious sister Zoey instead of him.  

     It could just be a fling though.   In the background though, I'm pretty sure I hear a clock tick-tock'ing away.

     She does seem to feel at home here, though, for sure.  *twitch*   This is not proper behavior in Zachariah & Antoinette's home, Toots!  

     Meanwhile... out in the yard... the bots caught a kid trying to peek in the windows.  DANG, WHIPPERSNAPPERS!   STAY OFF MAH LAWN!!!

     I guess Toots isn't so worried about walking around in her underwear when she has plans to rendezvous in her bikini for the next several hours.  Maybe even a little skinny dipping... *hides the childrens' eyes!*

     The dates are going very well indeed as the week progresses.  Zack's wandering eye hasn't been wandering very far either.  And just take a look at what Toot's has locked in her panel.   Mmmhmmm.   Do you smell what the Rock is cookin'!!!?

     So how serious are you, Zack?  

     I told him I was keeping my eagle eyes on his panel!  I warned him, fair and square!  I told him!  I said, be careful, Zack!  

     Meanwhile... Back inside... Operation:  KILL DA BOTS has commenced.   A new puppy has been purchased, a lovely female schnoodle named Avery.  

     Just look how cute she is!  *squeal*  I just want to kiss that cute puppy nose and... 

     No!   Bad dog!  BAD AVERY!   Which one of those teenage punks sent you here!?   I say you were planted here as phase I of Operation:  KILL DA BOTS!   Ugh!  I can't even deal with this right now!   

     Because.... meanwhile.... out in the yard....

     I wasn't really planning on Zack getting married right off the bat, but hey.. when a romancer doesn't have a fear of getting married, a simmer has got to do what she has to do.  

     So a lovely spring backyard wedding was held that Saturday.  

Zach And Toots Archer!

Yung & Rob Panda

Family!   Family everywhere! 

Doesn't Xander Centowski clean up so handsome? 

*mental note to change Zayna's formalwear!*

     That's a wrap folks!

     ♫ It's a love story, baby, just say.... Yessss!♫

Legacy Cove - Week Fourteen - Archer Hall at the Academy

     Time to buckle down and get a few kids graduated from college.  Our returning students are Zack and Zoey Archer and two boys that were moved in from the previous 'hood, Frazier & Fletcher Lind.  Zoey and Frazier are sweethearts, OoOoOoOoh!

     As a refresher, Zack is a Romancing Sagittarius and loves arts & crafts.  Zoey is Fortune-focused Sag with fitness as her hobby.  

     Frazier Lind is a Taurus, he likes games and is also of the Fortune persuasion, while Fletcher is a family sim.  

     Our new students are Yvette Panda and Xane Centowski.  Both had some big make-overs upon arriving at the Academy and are looking much more grown up!

     Yvette Panda is a pleasure sim, much to my displeasure.  But variety is the spice of life, so we'll allow it.  She is a Cancer and likes to tinker.  Xane is a knowledge sim and likes fitness like cousin Zoey and is a Gemini.  

     Upon getting them settled in, it was time to get started on the more important things.  Future mate search!  Zack is happy being a romancer so he can have his fun for the rest of his college semesters.  Zoey is enamored with Frazier so she's settled.  Fletcher will be released into the townie pool upon graduating as he was just a placeholder along with Frazier originally for the residence.  Leaving us with Yvette and Xane. 

     Yvette doesn't seem to have more than a single bolt for any of the eligible guys running amok in Legacy Cove, so I shelved the search for her mate.  I'm also undecided as to whether I want her to get married and procreate.  I have the potential for a LOT of new households to be formed as generation 3 exits college so at least one will be a bachelor/bachelorette for life.  

     I've been on the fence with Xane, too.  But he seems to be more interested in the pool of single sims so we'll do some experimenting.  We got started with the crystal ball and *drumroll* Bobbi came up as an high two-bolter!

     While Xane worked on his friendship with Bobbi Wetninja and the other kids balanced hobbies and schoolwork, I did some upgrades to their already expansive residence hall.  I thought you couldn't have cars in uni but I was WRONG!  So they now have a car, the deck extends over to the kitchen, and they have a basketball court and soccer field.  Whew!

     

     Being away at college can put a strain on relationships back home so lots of time was spent on the phone and daily visits from random family members!

      I've been very lucky too that all of the kids get along!  Best friends even!

     We even had a gathering of the single Twinkie gals as a mixer for Xane to mingle.  Wheee!

     Guess who moved up to the top of his bolt panel!

     I was surprised by how quickly the time passed!  Graduation time came up quick.  Another party was held with ALL the family that night.  It was a full house!

      
     And now I'd like to finish up with the announcements of our graduating class of Week Fourteen!

Zack Archer

Zoey Archer

Frazier Lind

Fletcher Lind

     Zack will return to inherit the Legacy house, Zoey & Frazier will be forming a new house, and Fletcher will be unleashed to the townie pool.  (After a makeover!)  

    Time to hop back over to the core neighborhood and get these new adults settled in!  Till next time, ladies and gents!

Legacy Cove - Week Fourteen - 1001 Centowski Street

     So once again, I played in spurts.  And worse, I didn't take a lot of pictures.  But with three teenage boys running around and that damned servo that needs constant babysitting, it was hard building a storyline with that chaos!

     Let's romp through the quick update then so I can play again!  Just a reminder, the Centowski family is made up of Zayna and hubby Trevor, Xane, and twins Xavier (blonde) and Xander (brunette).  

     We started on a sour note... Poor Andromeda finally left with Grim.  I wasn't even paying attention because I thought she still had a few days left and all sims were out of the house... but then.... but then.... I noticed that I was missing a pet!  So then the hunt for the tombstone/urn began.  Right below her favorite spot in the window seat.  

     To help distract myself and the simmies from the loss, I had them start scouting hot chicks.  The goal is to get as many potential mates on their relationship panel as possible.

     We also got a new schnoodle to pair up with Annie, which was one of the adult pups from the main Legacy house.  This lil guy is Tanner.  They shall have beautiful puppies together and help me heal my heart from the loss of Andromeda.  Or that's the plan anyway. 

      Meanwhile... the hot chick search continued through the week.  There's Deb and Toots, along with cousins Zamaris and Yeva, and bus friend Chase.  He's my nephew IRL!  I need to get that kid reading my blog, now that I think about it. 

     Toots really doesn't seem into these kids though.   *sniff*  Didn't have to be so rude about it though.  

     Along with picking up chicks, there was lots of cousin activity!  I really love getting pictures of them with family members to compare the genetic notes.  This is Yung Panda and Xane having a little boxing match.  NO HITTING!  I keep telling these kids, this is a violence-free zone!   No one listens.  No one!!

     Then.... another tragedy struck.  

     As if my heart was not already devastated by the loss of precious Andromeda...

     Someone...
     ... SMASHED
     ... ... HER URN!!!!!!!!

     YOU ANIMALS!!!!!  HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!!!  I should have moved it outside but this was the first death on this lot and I hadn't decided where to build their pet cemetery or hey, maybe build an actual pet cemetery and WHAT DO THEY DO!?   THEY DESTROY IT!   

     HEATHENS!!!!

     *SEETHES*

     After I got myself calmed down, it was Sunday in sim-time.  Xane was due to grow up within 24 hours so I went ahead and sent him off to college instead of waiting for the week to roll by.  So this is his farewell picture.  Off he goes!  

     I would have gotten a picture of him getting into the van but I used move_objects to place trees along the side of the road and fall is a terrible time for the cars coming and going through the portal due to the leaves.  The taxi showed up.   Then Xane just walked down the sidewalk and off the lot, with the taxi fading away moments later.  *twitch*

     Hopefully this wasn't too long and painful for anyone to read.  Next we head off to the university campus and start getting some of generation 3 graduated!   Babies aren't too far off in the horizon.  YAY!  BABIES!  

That's all folks!
