TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - Archer Hall at the Academy

TS2

Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - Archer Hall at the Academy







     Oh yes, the twins Zach and Zoey are in college now and that means we have an extra house in the rotation.  We're all going to be puking uni updates by the time all is said and done, because the youngest of generation 3 are still children.  Gonna be a long few weeks.  But surprisingly... the first two semesters went by really quickly!

     They are bunked up with imports from my old neighborhood, Frazier and Fletcher Lind.  Frazier is the redhead and Fletcher has black hair.  They were the firstborn for gen 8 in Legacyville and are twins also though I didn't give them any family connection when they moved over to Legacy Cove.  Like Xavier and Xander Centowski, they look almost like identical twins aside from the hair color!

     Of course, one of the first things I did upon starting this rotation was to have Zach check the crystal ball and I teleported in a couple of extra gals for him to check out for a little meet and greet. 







      Kayla Fancey is from Legacyville also.. she just happened to walk by so "Hey!  How ya doing!"   Sucka!   Then Kate Gypsy, Toots Savoy, that's Pearly Finn in the rain coat, and at the chess table is Julie Jaz and Deb O'Simski.  Also on the lot but refusing to be corralled is Cassie and Silia.  There's lots of lightning bolts being thrown around but Zach wants to keep his options open for a little while before settling in.  He is a romancer, after all!

      But the girls are already fighting over him.... Silia!  Deb!   Break it up!







      They really aren't fighting over Zach... this feud has been ongoing for a generation or two.  Grr!







      To keep Fletcher busy, I had him check the crystal ball also.... hello, hello, hello, who do we have here?







      Whatcha think, Polly?   Is he dark and fuzzy enough for you?  And I knew you were going to want a better pic of Fletcher, so here you go!







      He's a family sim, but he likes you a lot!  He likes games and wants to marry off 6 children.   Eh?  Eh!?  







      I know, it's hard to say no to those baby blues.  And you are eating it up!







      Now, while Fletcher is being kept busy, I can get down to the rest of the gang.  I had already gotten it in my head that Zoey and Frazier would be perfect for each other.  They are both fortune sims, and they were kind enough to give me 2 bolts.  I can work with that!   And they look soooo cute together.  They will make a beautiful baby!







      They moved fast, too!   Heart farting in no time!







     Okay, now that Zoey and Frazier are busy... I can play with romancing Zach!   

      Well.... I thought I could. 







     Zoey!  NO!  We have your life all planned out and today will not be the day you die!  Thankfully firefighter Lee Gast was quick on the scene and took over from Zach on extinguishing Zoey's backside.  

     Then in a deja vu moment, like another big brother I remember in this house, he tested out the train table to make sure it was safe and everything was back in order.






      "Musta just been a UE.  USER ERROR, SIS!"   Zach's dad and aunt Zamaris had a similar exchange during their uni days.  Family legacy?  I hope not!


      Back to Zach's mission... 







      First kiss, with a cheerleader!  You go, boy!  I'll give them a few moments to themselves.

     Aw, there's more romance out on the street!  These kids and their hormones!







      Meanwhile, there's another fire heating up in the kitchen.  THE WRONG KIND.






      After thanking Firefighter Lee again, Zach was sent off to smooch on his cheerleader.  The swagger cracks me up each time I see it!







      They had their first date and turns out Kaylynn the cheerleader isn't very shy.  Zach got his first whoohoo want popped!






      Meanwhile... back downstairs.... Yamaris was visiting and set the train table on fire.  WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO THIS THING?







      Yvette's ass caught on fire this time though she just stood around calmly while Lee put her jeans out, then she went to grab a bite to eat in the kitchen.  Trying to act cool for the man in the uniform?  Who knows!







      Then not too much later....







      Needless to say, we're on a first name basis with Firefighter Lee now.  I finally put sprinklers over the train table, but as I'm typing this I don't think I got them over the oven.  Mental note to do that next time!

      Zach was able to get his next conquest in before their Sophomore year was over.  Co-ed Rosemarie fell hook, line, and sinker!







      I don't know if it's Zach's good looks and charm, or just young hormones raging, but he's finding it all too easy to get these gals in the sack!  DID THEIR PARENTS NOT TALK TO THEM?  DO THEY NOT WATCH LIFETIME MOVIES ON GUYS LIKE THIS?   

      Whew.  Amidst all the fires and romances, they all still have good grades.  The time really did fly by with all the love lives being cultivated, both short-term and long-term, keeping up with family relations, hobby chasing, and they effortlessly pulled off the good grades along with all of that!   So this is where we take a break from the college scene and head back to the main 'hood.







      Till next time!

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - 1001 Centowski Street

TS2

Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - 1001 Centowski Street






     We're back at the Centowski family, Zayna and Trevor with their three kids, Xane, Xavier, and Xander.  And you may catch some glimpses of their ol' schnoodle Andromeda.  Now, luckily for everyone this is not a long-winded update.  I was too busy playing and forgot to get a lot of pictures.  

     With three kids in the house, obviously we are going to be starting off with a birthday party.  Come on Xane, let's get down to business!







     Xane grew up to be a knowledge sim and wants to be an Education Minister like his grandpa and namesake Zane.  Xane is a gemini with stats of 3 (messy) - 6 (outgoing) - 10 (active) - 1 (serious) and 6 (nice) and upon buying him a treadmill he was happy to tell me his hobby of choice is fitness.  






     Now scroll back up for a second to the party guest shot.  The long haired guy in the green plaid?  That's our new and improved cousin Zach.  He's eluded the cameras a long time but I FINALLY GOT HIM!

     The twins Xavier and Xander aren't far behind on the birthdays.. Zayna had her kids back-to-back all in one week remember!






     Heck, let's just fast forward a few days and keep the party going!







      Ceera, are you reading this?  Your daughter Laiyya (in the purple shirt) has been hanging around the house an awful lot.  I keep catching her walking by and she's come home with the boys on the bus one day.  I think she's got her eye on Xane... whatcha think?  

      Okay, back to the party... Can I get a WOOP WOOP from all the ladies? 






      And a WHUT WHUT from all the guys?






     Hey, look, a picture of Yung Panda!  I forgot to get his before and after teen birthday picture on their last update.  Thar he be!   Doesn't he look snazzy!

     Now for the unveiling of our new teens!






      Oh no... this won't do at all.  Ahem... one more moment while I wave the make-over wand over these two.  

      Better!  Here's our Xavier Centowski, new fortune sim on the block.  He wanted to become a Prestidigitator but Yamaris has already claimed that one and there's only so many prestidigitator's I can handle so OOPS omigosh I hit the reroll LTW on the batman box.  Now he wants to be a space pirate!  Oooh yes.  Much better!






      Aside from being a fortune sim now and future Space Pirate, Xavier also likes nature (*SQUEEEEEE*) and is a Sagittarius.  His stats are 2 (messy) - 3 (shy) - 10 (active) - 10 (playful) - and 9 (nice).  






      Next up is Xander, the brunette twin.  Kinda crazy how much these 3 boys look alike, isn't it?  Xander rolled up romance, aye yi yi, and he wants to be a Celebrity Chef which I can totally handle.  Whew.  Xander is a Taurus and his stats are 10 (clean freak) - 9 (outgoing) - 5 (active) - 10 (playful) and... 1 (MEANIE).   Gonna break our streak of only happy snowmen in the neighborhood I guess.  Xander also likes games, so maybe he's one of those kids on the Xbox talking smack about everyone's mom.  






      Yeah, I dressed the twins in the same shirt.  They have on different pants, and they have the same haircut but different hair... I do what I want!

      Did I show you guys the new and improved Silia?  If not, take a look at mi mamacita caliente!  Aye caramba!  






     And to finish up the week, just a few candid shots from kid day Saturday and family day Sunday!

     Whenever I think the kids look more like Trevor, they come hang out beside Zayna and remind me they have a mix of momma and dad.   That's cousin Yamaris in the background with the photobombing.  






     And someone tell Zamaris and Rob that I didn't invite their family over to socialize with each other!   Break it up!  Work on the relationships with the sims in THIS house!






      And to finish off, just going to point out the few upgrades we did this week.  There's a new second story window in the left side of the house that's set back a bit from the main section.   And they bought a 2nd car!  Whoohoo!  A green ford Explorer.  I'm hoping when spring rolls around again (this week was fall, next will be winter), that they'll have enough money banked to make some yard improvements.  They have about $15k in cash right now so by spring I should definitely be able to add on a garage, trees, etc!  Exxxxcellent. 






That's all folks!

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - 1001 Bamboo Blvd

TS2

Legacy Cove - Week Thirteen - 1001 Bamboo Blvd





     Welcome back to the Panda den, which houses Zamaris and her husband Rob Panda, along with their five kids Yvette, Yamaris, Yung, Yardley, and Yeva.  Oh, and two schnoodles Agnesi and Reginald and their little puppy Rigsby.  Got all that in order?  Because there's lots of family that stops by as well to make a full house even busier!

     Such as uncle Zachariah, and he is a terrific uncle!  He loves all of his nieces and nephews.  Isn't he just dreamy?  I need me a Zachariah in real life. 






     There's going to be lots of birthdays this week too, starting with Yamaris turning to a teenager.






     Miss Yamaris Panda rolled Fortune and wants to be a prestidigitator when she grows up.  Just for an update, her stats are 5 (clean) - 8 (outgoing) - 5 (active) - 8 (playful) and 7 (nice).  An Aquarius with a love of games.  






     I love her profile and cute nose, so I'm throwing in an extra picture!  She's the only kid that didn't inherit Robert's deep-set eyes.  






     I called in the nanny to let Zamaris go to work.  We only needed the nanny for about two hours, as the teens get home an hour after she goes to work.  Nannies are so hard to get rid of though!  Infuriating!  Get bent, Nanny!  But Zamaris is a ecological guru so she works just 1 day a week but for 21 hours.  And apparently she wears this outfit that whole time... Yikes!






     I didn't get pictures of all the visitors that came through their house this week, but I got a pic of Bobbi since she hasn't made an appearance in a while.  Turns out, upon further investigation, that she and Rob are best friends.  Who knew!






     Birthday time again!   This time for the twins.  Phew, no more toddlers!  Julie and Kate were here as invited passers-by but I forgot to invite all of the family over in time.  Oopsie!








     And now for some all-grown-up pictures!

     Yardley looks JUST like his dad.  He is another Aquarius, and he likes nature!  Yay!  Tree-hugger!   His stats are 3 (messy) - 3 (shy) - 5 (active) - 10 (playful) and 7 (nice).  I tell you, it's really great having normal snowmen in the winter.  The last neighborhood was full of meanies.  





     Yeva likes tinkering, just like her mom, dad, and oldest sis Yvette.  Good, more people to do the repairs.  With this many sims in a house and all the family and friends over, there's almost always a toilet that needs plunged.   Anyway, Yeva is a Capricorn and her stats are 7 (clean) - 3 (shy) - 2 (lazy) - 10 (playful) and 8 (nice).






     Well, I tried to get a picture of them together.  They aren't bad looking kids really.  I wish their eye placement was better and they had custom eyes but it's probably for the best.   There's going to be a few "sterile" sims out of this generation so the neighborhood doesn't overpopulate too quickly.  These kids probably won't marry and reproduce.






      Hey, and Rigsby the puppy grew up!  He's a wonderful mix of his white-coated momma and dark grey dad!  I'm delighted with him.  






     More birthday!   Yung will make teenager numero tres in the household.  






     I was doing really well at getting all the kids to the cake in time so they could blow out the candles, and getting the make-over pictures...but I didn't get a picture of Yung after his make-over.  Which is really sad, because he's got a simply fabulous outfit.  Drat!

     But I can tell you he rolled knowledge, and he wants to be a Hand of Poseidon.  He's a Capricorn that likes games, and his stats are 7 (clean) - 3 (shy) - 3 (lazy) - 9 (playful) and 7 (nice).  

     I pretty much pooped out on picture-taking for their weekend, there's no more left to share!   I didn't get any pictures from play-date Saturday or family night on Sunday.  D'oh!   Next time!   

     So that's a wrap!
