The Crafty Warrior: TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23

Archer House

I'm so excited to be starting Week 23. It's summertime in Legacy Cove and there's so much going on. We have birthdays for the adults turning to elders, marriages, and I have plans for new community lots, owned by residents in town, of course!

Without further adieu, let's check in on who our players are in the first house. This is the core household of the neighborhood, our founding family, the Archers.

Now, in all honesty, it took me a long time to start playing. I loaded the game up several times but I was just clueless on a big decision. "Who should Zavoy pick to marry??". He graduated from uni with the decision narrowed down to two. Then I remembered. Duh. Let him pick.

So I loaded up the game and their house, and teleported the girls over. Clare headed over to the piano immediately and ignored everyone. Which is a shame because she's a popularity sim. Zack and Zavoy both being romancers (Wright help me break this romancer trend when Generation 5 arrives) and Toots is a pop sim... I thought the mirrored aspirations could be cute. But Clare didn't go meet all the new people in the house. Maybe she's shy... but that doesn't bode well for a Legacy wife.

Miss Laken on the other hand had a grand time. She woo'ed Zavoy and his parent alike. They were all delighted by her.

I can't believe I had forgotten, some decisions just make themselves. So we slept on it. Both myself personally and the Archer household. Not all of the household slept though...

He's minding his business so, okay Zachariah, float on... But we've had plenty of ghost drama the last few weeks. I'll be watching.

I also sent Toots to her bar, The Legacy, to check up on things.

So far, so good! Rank 4 already! Moving right along. And so is Zavoy and Laken's relationship.

On Tuesday, we invited Laken back over. Zavoy wanted to go on a date so I indulged so I could feel out where they are. I'm hoping for a wedding this week! They absolutely did not disappoint! If I had any doubts that these two romancers would work out together, they showed me they are in for the long haul!

I may have gasped. I may have even made a little scream! BOTH OF THEM WANT TO BE MARRIED? But they both also have a fear of getting married... I can work with this though. Let me lock those marriage wants!

Oh, and notice the time! Where is Pixel, he's growing up today!

I think the mini-fireworks and confetti from Pixel are entirely appropriate because Zavoy and Laken's relationship is going somewhere fast!

They don't even take their coats off first! They might be nervous... There was some conversation about the weather.

Okay, I'm feeling a bit like a creeper so let's give them a few minutes. And we're going to have to give them another few minutes because they got up, kissed and flirted, and wanted to hop back in bed again.

Laken has no shame, she's happy to walk around this house in her underwear and even play the piano like we're a wild, wild west brothel!

I don't know why it feels more appropriate but I had Toots invite her out to the hot tub so that she'd at least be in her bikini. Julie Jaz was over with Walter's family (Walter is Zack's nephew). She had a shockingly bad time.... Oh dear....

When Wednesday rolled around, I sent Toots back to the Legacy. She wants to have 30 Best Friends and she's not making sufficient progress at home. Right off the bat, she got a good review!

Kirsten Rosehill made her debut. She is a suspiciously good pool player for being a new kid on the block.

My real-life sister Teressa showed up, along with my very underage nephew Lucian.

My sister is just out here poking EVERYONE! Calm down! The hottie she's trying to pick a fight with is Chase Banque.

Lucian farted. Which only made her madder. She poked him in the chest too!

And I swear to you all... I thought, she's getting out of hand. Where is my dad? And who shows up?

MY DAD. That's Griz Lilly in the blue. The baseball shirt is Dyne Payne, the town savior. (If you don't remember, my friend Payne fixed my computer and saved my game so I made him a sim-self for us to revere). Dyne has been kind of elusive, I don't see him out and about too often. So for him to show up here with my Dad..... NOT A COINCIDENCE! They get along very well. Too well... In fact, they stuck together like glue in the bar. They played a game of pool, got some juice...

Oh, and my sister left. I don't know if she went home, but she didn't stay here!

Meanwhile, Toots was busy with the town complainer.

Zinc the servo is our bartender. He's been on the job for hours. Toots sent him on a break. He's never on break long because he's a robot. He's right back to work. But that little sliver of time he was on break.... Kate wanted a drink.

For the record, Kate was also the first complaint at Deb's Diner. She has NO MERCY for new business!!!! Even if you are her Twinkie sister!!!!

It's okay thought, my dad is having a GREAT time. He's making kissy faces at all the ladies.

And you see, behind him, Zinc is back on the job! Kate didn't cause too many problems at least, and The Legacy is already Rank 5!

Let's end on a good note, and get back home!

On Thursday, Zavoy asked Laken to move in. I'm planning a Friday wedding. Tell all your friends!

Laken is a science kind of girl and on the first night she discovered an unknown star! Way to go! She's a romancer too and a Scorpio. 9-6-5-4-3 are her stats.

Now, all week until now, the ghosts have been well behaved. A few ghost dogs digging up the lawn but the two-legged ghosts were quiet. Now that we have a wedding in the morning though.... THEY ARE OUT.

Somehow they all survived the night. So not to be too presumptuous but I set up the yard for a home wedding before I had Zavoy propose.

But she still said yes!!

AND GUYS! LOOK!!!!!!!!

So I figure we'll start bringing over the family and friends around noon'ish. But then I had a thought that started the next disaster... "It hasn't rained all week" ... WHY would I think that?

Luckily, it finally dried up and around 2pm we were ready to get going. But we have a possible wardrobe malfunction! Julie Jaz is still sooty from the lightning strike.

But that's not the worst thing... Israel Wolosenko (Isaac's brother from Legacyville) just had to come by to steal our newspaper...

(Was he seriously going to throw punches at the sentry bot?) Anyway... yeah, he got zapped.

And instead of going back to it's base, the stupid robot malfunctioned.

It zapped Frazier, Zack's brother-in-law.

Getting that thing under control took us to 4pm. I wasn't prepared for a night wedding! Let's get this wedding started!

So Zavoy and Laken took the hurry to heart and the ceremony started pretty much immediately instead of waiting for all of the guests to spin, change clothing, and take a seat. And we can't win them all, the engagement was a go but the marriage got the red rings.

I'm not going to complain though, these two were VERY accommodating considering they are romancers!!

And before I got pictures of all the guests dressed up, they started walking off. Like what are all of you Sims trying to do to me here. This wedding is so close to being a disaster... I swear to Wright, I was trying not to have a fit.

So here's the pictures we get.

A toast by everyone, I had to take the champagne away

Zavoy, Laken, Frazier

UNINVITED GUEST! Amaris!

Are you kidding me right now?

So yeah, wow, this wedding was so close to being ruined so many different ways. But the bride and groom weren't affected and dropped into bed too tired to even whoohoo.

Saturday, I let them all just kind of do what they wanted. Laken wants to be a Rock God and already has a job in the right industry. Convenient, isn't it? She got a promotion on Sunday.

I'm already growing quite fond of Laken being around. She likes to clean! I looked at Zinc's stats and his cleanliness is a bit low. So I had Laken spawn another servo, Zinc 2.0!!!

And trying to close up the house on Sunday was another night of frustration. The ghosts were out... Zoey's OWN MOTHER scared her!

And another sentry bot malfunctioned. This one sent me for a loop because it was a deactivated one in the garage. (Zachariah made a bit of a stash before he passed on).
