TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22 - 101 Bayview Drive

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22
 
101 Bayview Drive

     This weekly update is one of my favorite houses.  I just love Zoey, Frazier, and Walter!  And their little dog Aspen, too!  Quick refresher on the occupants, then we'll jump right in.  

Zoey (Archer) Lind
Fortune - Sagittarius - Fitness buff
3-9-9-9-5

Frazier Lind
Fortune - Taurus - Gamer geek
6-10-8-3-3

Walter Lind
Knowledge - Gemini - Fitness buff
3-10-9-10-3

     Walter's freshly home from university and while he seems to have his eye set on Julie Jaz, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anyone else he'd migrate to at any point. 

     So I invited over some of the other ladies of the neighborhood that he shared an attraction with.  So far, none of the gals of Legacy Cove are matching up as a 3-bolt for Walter.  

      While he did enjoy Jen Tucker and Morrdred Montana's company and had a grand time throwing snowballs, he persistently wanted to invite Julie over.  So we did.  

     He seems to be a man that's made up his mind!  So step one, we've found his intended bride.  Step two, this boy needs a few make overs.  I love his shaggy hair but it does make him look a lot more boy-ish.  And it's time he got a big boy bed.  

     So all the childhood toys are cleared out now, and he's got himself a new mirror.  The room is still a little bland but we're slowly shedding the little boy vibe and letting Walter grow up a bit. 

     Step three took a bit longer.  Walter wants to be the Hand of Poseidon.  It took a few days to find a job opening but we did manage to snag it as Wednesday rolled into Thursday.  

     He needed a quick nap to be ready for that 2am car pool!  But he looks absolutely dashing in his fisherman get-up.  I'm forever a sucker for a man in uniform.

     Now that Walter is squared away, there's a few things Zoey and Frazier had to get out of the way before their double birthday on Friday!  Zoey, how have you not reached maximum in fitness before now?  I guess yoga doesn't count towards fitness enthusiasm.  So hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the bench you go. 

     Success!  I get one last evening with Zoey and Frazier in adulthood, then Friday and their birthdays rolled up way too quickly.  I'm never ready for them to move on to elderhood!  But nothing less than a full party will do.  It's time for me to truck on.

Last look at my two gorgeous adults

At least they are going into this side-by-side

I invited both of their families!

Let the festivities begin!

I don't think Zoey was ready either

     

     Well, they did it.  They spun around and aged up to elders.  They did clean up fairly nice and moved into their final life phase with style.  

     Meanwhile, Walter and Julie snuck out onto the deck for a little one-on-one.  She's supposed to be meeting your family, Walter!  Share her a bit!

     She finally did get to sit down to eat and meet up with Yvette and Kayla.  I'm not even sure how they ended up at this party, since I invited only the Archer and the Lind clans over.  Yvette and Kayla are Pandas.  

     Saturday morning, Zoey started her day with her yoga routine.  But while I wasn't in a rush to get Walter settled down, we do need to start making some forward progress.  

     So I brought Julie back over and shooed Zoey out of the living room.  Enter Walter, the couch, and some cuddling.  

     It started out cute and innocent.  But, it wasn't long before Julie was literally sitting in Walter's lap!  I might have to get a water hose on these two. 

     Then.... things were interrupted by a misbehaving robot.  Damn these things!  I tried to send Frazier to turn it off.  That backfired.  

     Then it got Tyson, the beloved maid we've had for generations!  He left before anyone could even give him a tip as an apology. 

     Finally, we got the sentry bot turned off and I sent Frazier out to fix the thing.  Never a dull day.... Now...  Where were we?  Oh, yes. 

     I tried fulfilling every want that they had towards each other.  Julie has a want locked to get married.  But try as I might, I couldn't get Walter to roll up the want to get engaged/married to Julie.  FINE.  We'll move forward without it. 

     SHE SAYS YES!   Sorry for the spoiler!  

     I'm so excited for them!  Congratulations, Walter and Julie!  They are planning their wedding for next week.  I had Walter go ahead and invite Julie to move in so we can begin aging her so there's not such a big gap.  

     Girl, you didn't tell us you had money in your pockets!  Anyway, what a busy Saturday!  Sunday I let them all catch up on skills, social scores, and got down to the business of discovering Julie's hobby.  She's another tinkerer.  I have so many of those!

    I also had the Sunday family reunion too, don't worry.  We never skip that.  Well, unless there's the flu and colds rolling around.  

      My two little lovebirds still found time to sneak off to be alone.  Ya'll too cute, stop it!

     That brings us to the end of our week with the Linds!  Hope you enjoyed the update, and Julie, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!  I hope you like it here!

Thanks for reading!

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22- 1001 Centowski Street

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22

1001 Centowski Street

     Hello, welcome to week 22 at the first Centowski home!  The generation four twins are off to university so it's 2nd gen Zayna along with 3rd gen Xane and his wife Deb home to entertain us.  I thought this would be a boring week but turned out to be pretty busy!  First, let's go over our occupants, shall we?

Zayna (Archer) Centowski
Knowledge - Virgo - Science
10-6-5-4-6

Xane Centowski
Knowledge - Gemini - Fitness
3-6-10-1-6

Deb (O'Simski) Centowski
Family - Aries - Cruisine
8-6-7-7-7

Tanner

Teddy

     I've also been showing off pictures of the 'blueprints' of my houses.  First up is the downstairs, kitchen and dining room to the left and living room and nursery to the right.  

     The upstairs has four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.  The bathroom was built and decorated specifically for Deb!  So there's two master 'en-suites' and then two childrens bedrooms with a shared bath.

     I really thought this would be a slow, dull week so perfect time to add to the town's business district.  Introducing... Deb's Diner!!   I think all of the TwinkieSims will appreciate the color theme!  

     I stupidly opened for business thinking we could start this solo.  While not a total disaster, it still didn't run very smoothly.  Kate was among the first customers, and while she wasn't entirely pleased with her first visit she did come back to give us another chance later in the week!

     Deb hired Nikki Lee Garth to help as a server.  I found the perfect uniform for her!  That's Julie Jaz and Isaac Wolosenko as her customers. 

     I ended up hiring four teenages altogether to help.  Along with Nikki Lee, we then hired Raven Lawson, then her cousin Lark Dallas, and Silver Mellon.  

     By Wednesday, we reached rank 1!!!  Congratulations Deb!

     Thursday was Xane's day off from his regular job so he came along to help.  He isn't a natural hostess but together along with one of the girls to be the server they made it to rank 2!  Awesome work, guys!

      Friday rolled around and it's Xane's birthday.  I'm not ready for him to spin up to the elder years!  But he's already had his weekly dose of elixer so, deep breath, here we go!

All the gen 3 cousins!  Plus Xane's twins

I'm not sure what he's doing but it was funny!

SHOWTIME!

Toots, Yung, Yamaris, Xavian, Xavier, Yardley, Lindsay

Twins Xavian and Xayden

     I updated Xane's hair cut just a bit.  Instead of the messy look, he's got his hair a little neater in his old age.  

     But Wright givith and he taketh.  On Saturday morning Grim made a visit to collect sweet little Tanner.  

     Sunday morning, the gypsy slipped onto the lot and left us a gift.  I didn't even see her come or go!

     And Zayna's lifebar is full.  I fully expected a second visit from Grim this weekend but he's giving her another day I suppose.  But I made sure she spent what we thought to be her last day with her family.  

     Isn't Xayden such a sweet grandson?  Zayna is 10 neat points so she collected the dirty dishes after dinner and then Xayden came into give her a back rub.  Sweet little sims, how do I love this game?  Let me count the ways.  

     Well, we'll do some counting next week I suppose!  Our week's over so Zayna will at least make an appearance next week.  She's the only one left from generation 2 so I'm sure she feels Grim's eyes on her.  

Till next week!  Thanks for reading!
