TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22 - Archer House

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 22

Archer House

     It's springtime in Legacy Cove!  We're going to start off with our core Legacy house.  This week, we only have Zack and Toots Archer living here along with their pups.  Zakki and Zavoy have both left for college and while Zavoy will be returning to inherit the family estate, we'll see Zakki setting up her own home this week!  

     Before I re-introduce our residents, I thought it might be nice to share some floorplans of the houses I'm playing in.  So here's the main floor and upstairs of our first house in the Cove.  

Main Level

Upper level

     The deck showing in the upper left corner of the second floor is actually just the deck on the main floor.  It's just big enough to show up in the other picture.  The nursery and first master suite is on the main floor, then upstairs we have another master suite and three bedrooms, along with an 'attic' space.  

     And here's our current residents!

Zack Archer
Romance - Sagittarius - Arts & Crafts
3-4-10-8-10

Toots (Savoy) Archer
Popularity - Libra - Music and Dance
3-8-2-5-7

     There's also a herd of schnoodles here.  Avery, Amos, Amma, and baby Acapella, but she's no longer a baby pup! 

     I'm trying to expand the commercial district and sims that aren't working are supposed to be self employed (novelists or artists such as Zack) or own a business.  Toots decided to open a bar.  We named it, "The Legacy".

     I built it separately then had Toots buy it as that seemed a bit easier than doing trial and error and wasting their money or cheating it back evenly.  I think it turned out pretty well though.  Let's follow young Braxton inside!

     There's a juice bar, jukebox, live band, pool tables, and there's even a mini fridge in the employee room so they can make some chip platters or sandwiches!

     Thanks to Deb, we have our first simoleon!  It's hung in the employee room over the desk with pride. 


     

     Our first rank didn't come quite as quickly as I thought but Toots still pulled that in pretty easily.  She's such an extrovert, the customers love her!

     Back at home though, the teens are up to no good.  That's our darling Treva Centowski, Deb's own granddaughter! that was caught trying to steal our newspaper!  Why, I NEVER!

     I also forgot to mention the OTHER residents in the home..... There's a lot of ghosts.  Ghosts of Zane and Amaris, ghosts of Zachariah and Antoinette, and ghosts of the dogs.  Strangely..... Amaris wasn't our problem this week.

     Zack got that mess cleaned up while Toots got herself cleaned up.  Such a good husband.  Then I sent them to bed to hopefully keep them safe!  

     The next day, their daughter Zakki was visiting along with one of her beaus.  She hadn't settled on one yet as she left university but it looks like she's made up her mind!  

     She and Issac Wolosenko look like they are making the love connection!  Is it too soon to be planning the wedding?  I can't wait to get to her lot now and see what's going on in her panels!

     Cassie stopped by later also and I had her help with some repair work we needed done.  I don't trust the robots around the water.  We've had some.... issues.  

     But Zinc still wants to help.  And today is the day we found out that Issac isn't shy.  I guess when you got to poo,  you got to poo.  But the bathroom got really crowded somehow.  There was a line outside the bathroom, notice the feet past the door.  There's several other bathrooms available.  I'll never understand Sims. 

      Also, after playing in my old Legacyville neighborhood and being spoiled by the water wigglers every house seems to have... I totally forgot we have to still bathe pets the old fashioned way here in the Cove.  So... mental note:  I need to find me an arts and crafty Sim to be a toy maker!  Four dogs was a lot to bathe!

     We're having a hitch in Zakki's choice of boyfriend.  He and Toots seem to be slow in getting friendly.  Isaac seems to be immune to Toots' charm but we aren't giving up.  We have resources to help!  I stuck them in the hot tub, along with Zakki and Zavoy also.  We're still slowly making progress. 

     Toots had another big moment, as she reached 20 BFFs!  Congrats, Toots, and thanks to Julie Jaz for being our 20th BFF!

     Zinc no longer lives here on the lot but we invite him over almost every day to help with the chores.  Especially now that Zack and Toots have hit their elder years.  He's a much better robot now that he's not living here and constantly finds things to fix.  And Toots needs that piano!  Good job, Zinc!

     Then, when I wasn't looking, when I wasn't ready... Grim took Avery!  My little scrawny schnoodle.  She was the sweetest thing!  I am never ready, even when I notice it's time.  And I didn't even notice that today was the day.  The dogs howled my grief for me.  

Acapella, Amma, Amos

     Toots worked through her grief at the bar, as any good popularity sim would do.  And as any good Music & Dance sim would do, she worked through that grief on an instrument.  Walter and Yardley joined in.  They actually sounded pretty great, it was an impressive show!  

      But then Yardley went out to investigate a tree fire outside.... He's one of the only two doctors in town, I need to do a better job of keeping him safe!!

     The next day we had another paper thief.  This time, my sister Teressa Bowcrafter!  

     And as the ghosts start to drift around, we're going to close down this week!  Hope you enjoyed our new bar and the Lifestyles of the Rich and Elderly!  

That's Zane and Antoinette at the stairs!

Thanks for reading!
