Welcome back to Legacy Cove! This time we are visiting the second Lind household, home to Fletcher, Yamaris (Panda), Vincent, and Vamaris. As always, there's a few schnoodles running amok.

Finding a place for some privacy for the big event proved to be a bit of a challenge. Go shadow box somewhere else, Fletcher!
They finally got some alone time (in the kitchen because obviously that's where the magic happens) .... but since I've reinstalled my game this was the first big event and it went to the cut scene! I was not prepared. We did not get a picture with the rose petals falling everywhere. I was aggravated but Vincent and Gwyneth were kind enough to re-create the scene to get a few other pics.
It's awful that he's going off to university so soon after this because we had hearts popping up without much effort!
The star-struck lovers probably loved the rainy day that took Vincent away to uni. Gwyneth will be heading to uni sooner than later but I've been very slowly adding in the old 'hood's teens to uni and to adults. Gotta have some teens for those crushes and first kisses!
So a detour was made to get Vincent set up in the co-ed dorm with the other generation 4 kids. He actually is putting the boys wing to full capacity. I can't recall if Uri or Shawn are headed to uni this week also but I may have to put them in the girls wing or build some new dorms (which might be preferable, as I don't like playing with so many uni students in one place... it gets overwhelming).
We'll see what happens when the time comes. Meanwhile, let me introduce you to the new and improved Vincent!
He's still a mama's boy for sure. And just a side story. I was conflicted while fixing him up with new clothes and such. I liked his cute lil' mop of hair that he had as a teen. This beanie I felt gave him more of a college kid vibe. Then there was another short cut that looked more appropriate for a fitness sim. I consulted Brian, my boyfriend. I'm going to make this short and sweet by saying he's absolutely no help. He does not want to assist in playing dress up.
So I texted my daughter. "Are you still up? I NEED HELP". It took her about 30 minutes to answer me. "Mom, what's going on?". To which I replied, "OH, THANK WRIGHT" and introduced her to Vincent. I sent her the little screen shots of the 3 different hair styles. She's amazing, just stepped right in and gave me a nice little pro/con of each and we settled on the beanie. When he graduates uni, Vincent can get a more appropriate adult family/fitness sim look again.
Okay, okay. Side story time is done. We can move on! It's Friday evening and that's cousin time. Both Panda and Lind cousins arrived; Yvonne and Shawn Panda, and Walter Lind and his fiance Julie! Julie is definitely getting a crash course in meeting all of the family she wasn't already buddied up with. Laiyya in the purple just happened to stop by and invite herself in.
I often think that Vincent looks like his dad Fletcher, but while the other kids were doing the smustle, he and his momma were talking. He does show a fair bit of her genetics as well! They are both cute as a dang button.
Saturday was a bright sunny spring day. Perfect for an outdoor birthday party! Fletcher is about to do his last spin and age up to elder. I always get a few last looks at my sims as adults.
One day, many weeks from now I hope, I will look back on Fletcher and remember him as my tall, dark, and handsome guy. And also as a family sim that really adores his wife. Even if he does have a persistent want to call Yvonne. I need to remember to go into SimPE and flag them as aunt/niece.
Okay! Party time!!!
That's a lot of family to help celebrate! And here we go!
And of course, I forgot to get a picture of Fletcher all eldered up. But i did get a pic of cousins Uri and Treva Centowski since they were over on Saturday for the teen hangout.
Then on the last day of spring we had the family dinner with the Pandas. They had a big dance party. Yvonne and Vincent really have some moves, too! I was impressed.
And that wraps up our week with the Linds! There's just one more addition to the game that I'd like to share...
Please welcome Dyne Payne to the neighborhood! Dyne is based off of my friend John who is the savior of my Sims game. I had to have a new motherboard put in, and we found a whole host of issues. He fixed 'em all like it was nothin'. So if you see him comment on my facebook posts, please be sure to address him as Payne, the savior of Legacy Cove!
And that's all folks! Thanks for reading!
