Legacy Cove - Week Seventeen - 2 Bamboo Blvd

     I'm really excited to post this update.  But there's been some errors thanks to my random playing.  One, the addresses for Bamboo Blvd are different between the game and my blog.  The original Panda family has been posted as 1001 Bamboo Blvd but in-game the address is a more simple 1 Bamboo Blvd.  Thus this new house being created is 2 Bamboo Blvd.  I'm torn between changing the addresses in game to be consistent or updating the blogs to reflect the original address.  This seems ridiculous to go back and forth over, but welcome to the life of an OCD mind.  

     Also, this update is in place but one of their future updates for this house will be out of order.  See, children knocked over my index cards that I had my sim notes and rotation order on.  The rotation order wasn't written down (IT IS NOW) but instead, I pulled the cards for the current house being played, then after their week was up they were filed in the back.  So children happened, this household was returned to the card box incorrectly.  I'll have to post it out of order when it comes up due to other sims aging through the updates.  Otherwise you'll have children that are later toddlers.  Again, first world problems for someone with OCD that likes things to stay in order.  

     I kind of filter my OCD into this game to alleviate some of the 'problems' I tell myself to let go of in real life so these issues really seriously make my eyes roll into the back of my head.  I MESSED UP!  ARGH!   But we're just going to keep on keeping on.   Okay, now that mistake confessions are out of the way.... I'm pretty excited to introduce this new family because their update has some of the best things in the Sim world.  

     First, we have Yamaris Panda.  Second born generation 3 Panda child.  To referesh, we have Zane Archer & Amaris Wiccan Archer -> Zamaris Archer Panda & Rob Panda -> Yvette, *Yamaris*, Yung, Yardley, & Yeva.  Beautiful Yamaris is a fortune sim, she's an Aquarius (5 neat, 8 outgoing, 5 active, 8 playful, 7 nice), and she wants to become a Criminal Mastermind.  She's also a gamer which I think we can all appreciate!

     She's starting off her adult life with her college boyfriend Fletcher Lind.  You might recognize his name.  The Lind brothers, twins Frazier and Fletcher, come to Legacy Cove from their original neighborhood of Legacyville which is headed towards the apocalypse.  The twins were the first born of generation 8 and are quite the lookers in my opinion.  Their grandfather is non-other than the infamous Komei Tellerman.  

     Fletcher is the younger of the twins.  His brother Frazier is currently wed to Yamaris's cousin Zoey, AKA my Barbie sim.  Whew.  What a tangled web I'm weaving.  Fletcher is a Gemini family sim and he is a sports fan in this incarnation of his life.  His goal is to marry off 6 children and unfortunately I'm not planning to indulge that, though I think Fletcher and Yamaris are due some beautiful babies with their genetics.  One at a time though.  Or two, if there's twins.  I DIGRESS!!

     Yamaris's father unfortunately passed away before seeing more than one of his children happily married off.  He passed from old age and I'm not even sure how this happened since they all get a swig from the elixer at the start of every week.  But the insurance money definitely helped give these two a boost, along with their dual $20k, and money tucked away from university scholarships.  It feels like cheating.  They have a delightful house from day one!

      We have floors, we have paint, we have a full set of chairs with the dining room table!   Yamaris did have a few items like the bed and desk tucked away from when she left home to go to university.  I usually try to buy the kids not coming back to the family home a little starter set of items.  These two even had money to have a garage not long after getting started!

     Maybe you noticed the dog house and recognized her actions as filling up the pet bowl with food.  While sister Yvette adopted Penny from her parents' litter, Yamaris happily accepted Princess Peach!

     Yamaris, being a fortune sim, hungrily hits the ground running and starts pulling in promotions.  She's a woman on a mission, but luckily we have a family sim in the house to help keep her in check and remind her of our ultimate neighborhood goal:  GENERATIONS

     Fletcher is also a man that knows what he wants and is on a mission.  He's not going to waste time like his brother Frazier, who is also a Fortune sim.  Zoey and Frazier got so distracted with being fortune sims that they forgot they were supposed to get engaged.  Fletcher will make no such mistake.  

Princess Peach even got to be involved!

     I wouldn't turn him down either, sis.  He's adorable and he has a good job himself as a Specialist in the medical field.  And no time is wasted on getting the backyard set up and the wedding underway on their next day off!

(Ya'll know I love wedding pictures right?  Let's just do this)

That dress is gorgeous and perfect for her!

Definitely!  Congratulations!

Is this a real tear in the corner of my eye?  It's just so beautiful!

      Whew!  What a whirlwind so far!  But Yamaris doesn't even take a breather, she's right back at it reminding me who she is and what she wants!

     First week and she's married and reached her lifetime want and I think she can be indulged.  There's something in her Wants panel that she's been asking for and I think she's earned it.  

     What. A. Week!  But Fletcher isn't about to be left behind while Yamaris sweeps along.  He's got goals too, remember?  

     Oh, I love a happy ending!  That wraps up the week of the new Lind family!  Congratulations over and over to the new couple.  Having the financial advantages they had definitely gave them an advantage but they also put in their work to get the jobs done.  I'm so excited to see what they accomplish next week!  Can't wait!

     Thanks for reading!
