TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23 - 101 Bayview Drive

 TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23

101 Bayview Drive






     Hello, it's a summer of weddings!  The Lind family has another wedding to invite us to join.  I'm sure you remember the Lind family, but let's once again review.  




Zoey (Archer) Lind

Frazier Lind
Fortune - Taurus - Gamer geek

Walter Lind
Knowledge - Gemini - Fitness buff

Aspen



     Let's start at the beginning.  Monday was a sunny summer day.  It turned out to not be a manic Monday, but a money Monday!  Both Walter and Julie came home with promotions!   

 





     Nice work, you guys!  I would also like to congratulate myself on some nice matchmaking work.  It's always reassuring when the other households are visiting and show love to their new spouse.  Makes me feel like I made the right choices!





     Zavoy and Laken are just getting right in line with some of our other couples.  Laken and I are going to have to talk though...







     Are you not happy?  Because happy Sims don't just run around kicking trashcans.  Maybe she heard about Frazier kicking the Centowski's trash can over?  DO YOU WANT A FLU PANDEMIC STARTED BY ROACHES?  No one wants that!  Please stop with the trash can kicking!

     Well, things were quieter Tuesday.  And Wednesday turned into Wallet Wednesday with Walter and Julie both bringing home promotions again!  







     What's amazing is that Walter has reached the top of the Oceanography career track and is already perma-plat.  Now... can we set a date for the wedding and talk about some kids maybe?   

     Zoey and her best friend/cousin Yamaris are planning a Saturday wedding, I'm told.  Yamaris is over here to help with the planning already.  They've been best friends since they were kids and I want to hate them but I just can't.  I love both of these Sims.  





      But meanwhile.... Outside Aspen is trying to alert them to danger!





     Luckily, the hydrobot showed up and helped put it out!  I didn't even know until recently that they could do that!  

     On Thursday, both Zoey and Walter were off work so they went down to see how things are going at Cove Fitness.  Disclaimer:  I set the adjuster to allow only fitness Sims on the lot so ... it's slow.  






     Even though we have a few other fitness sims running around, all we get is... Blajez Nott.  He's the review guy.  





     But he likes us!  He really likes us!  





     Later on, back home, Zoey taught Aspen how to sit-up basically because with no grandbabies, she doesn't have much else to do.  Do yoga.  Go to work.  That's about it.  Poor Aspen is paying the price!  




     Saturday finally arrived and it's wedding time!  It's been a rainy week so the decision was made to have the ceremony and reception at the Chapel.  Here we go! 









(Vamaris, Vincent, Morrdy, Toots in the back)




(Ladies in pink, Laken and Zakki)




(Zoey and I thought Frazier but no, it's Fletcher!)



(Vincent, Morrdy, and finally Frazier)



(Mrs & Mr Lind!)



(Xayden, here for the food)



(Literally, getting down!)





     Finally that night they returned home as a married couple.  And I really want to push them to starting the baby train, but neither one has any wants for a kid.  Frazier and Zoey wouldn't even help me out by wanting a grandkid.  
    
     While I was being annoyed, Toots creeped onto the lot.  What is she doing??











     Ooooh.  I created a casual group to get everyone to the Chapel.  But... I haven't found this so called "recalling rug" anywhere or in any of the inventories.  Anyway, Toots tip-toed back off the lot. 








     I was telling her she's not fooling anyone and is being a bit ridiculous.  Then I realized I'm even more ridiculous by hiding in the bushes to take pictures of her.  

     So, ahem, let me direct your attention to Sunday morning when Violet Gothier stole our paper.  It's been stolen almost EVERY day.  This time, she didn't even wait until paperboy Anthony was off the lot.  He gave her a very stern lecture!  









     Eh, give it up, Anthony.  She's gone.  But Frazier has turned the Sentrybot back on, maybe next week we'll get to do the crossword and Julie can read the technology section she's been looking for.  

     That's all for the summer.  Still no generation 5 on the horizon but it's like a mirage.. I can just imagine it!!!  Stay tuned!  






Thanks again for reading!

TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23 - 1001 Centowski Street

  TS2 - Legacy Cove - Week 23

1001 Centowski Street

 




     Greetings from our first Centowski household!  Their family is growing and has had boy after boy, so even though they are about equal footing with the Panda brood the Centowskis seem more numerous!  This is our original Centowski household, in which currently resides 2nd generation Zayna, her eldest son Xane along with his wife Deb, and one of the 4th generation twins, Xavian, has moved back home after college.  Are we ready for the introductions?  Here we go!

     It's going to be a busy week, and it started off shockingly.  We found out that Frazier Lind.... is a trash kicker.  







     No one is sure how to approach Zoey and tell her that her husband has been out in the neighborhood kicking trash cans, but it's been quietly decided that since the sentrybot gave him a good zapping and sent him running away that for now hopefully he's learned his lesson and we won't have to tell his wife about his dirty, dirty deeds. 

     Xavian is hoping to find a job in the oceanography career in hopes to one day become the Hand of Poseidon.  No hits the first day, so he went with Deb to the diner to work.  





     Kate always makes me a bit nervous because she has a.. how do we say this... a reputation in Legacy Cove.  She loves to complain.  Always wants to talk to the manager.  But all went smoothly this day!  Deb's Diner must be improving!  

     Back home later that day, I was a bit worried about Xane because I had noticed that he has 3 bolts of attraction with Xavian's suitor Morrdredd, but he and Deb reminded me that Xavian has absolutely nothing to worry about.  They are so touchy!





     Morrdy wasn't invited over on Monday.  I feel Xavian needed to feel her absence and hopefully spin up some wants involving her.  But no.  So Tuesday, I teleported her in.  Things finally progressed here!

     I really just wanted a cute picture of them cuddling on the couch to match the one I have of Xane and Deb.  But things escalated!  










     Hearts started flying everywhere!  Things are starting to happen!  Zayna has a new want for a relative to get engaged.  We're on it, Zayna!  But I think something is up with Xavian's twin Xayden.  He was on the lot, a tree got struck by lightning, and afterwards Xayden used the kitchen and bathroom sink to wash up.  He broke both sinks then went home.  Dude?




     Wednesday, Xavian finally found a job in his dream career field.  Protector of Whales.  I'm not sure if we have whales to protect in Legacy Cove, but Xavian is on the job!  And conveniently... he does not work the rest of this week.  There's no engagement yet but I'm kind of hoping for another Friday wedding.  




      Meanwhile... Xerva the robot was over and fixed the sinks.  But something else broke and Zayna thought it prudent to lecture the servo.  






     I guess the trash compactor was the casualty.  We're going to loose Zayna this week, there's no way around it.  And I'm going to miss her eccentric self.  

     Back in the living room.... Xavian and Morrdredd were on a home-date.   I was humored when they both rolled up marriage wants but realized neither had had their first kiss!  That was taken care of immediately!  





     Things REALLY escalated from there.  





     I decided to give these two a little privacy.  As it turns out though, they are exhibitionists.  I thought they were okay in the bedroom dressed in tighty whiteys and .. whatever Morrdy is wearing, but they were not content to stay undercover.  





     There's only one way to fix this.  Xavian asked Morrdy to move in, so I could have her get dressed properly again.

     Thursday was another quick check in at Deb's Diner, and she's finally progressed to a rank 4 business!!  Way to go, Deb!  





     But Thursday also brought sadness to the Centowski's.  Grim finally came for Zayna.  Usually I say I'm not ready but she'd already hung around much longer than expected.  But even though I knew it was time, I'm still sad to see her go.  







     But Zayna smiled!  SHE SMILED!  You know, she's probably more than ready to see her husband Trevor again.  Hopefully they are having a wonderful time at Grim Isles!  





     She left a cushy retirement fund behind for her family to dry their tears on though.  





     Teddy watched everything from the window.  What an odd little dog.  






     As a gift to his new girlfriend, Xavian adopted a puppy from his uncle Xavier's litter.  Meet Linden!  Puppies fix all the tears!




     We also finally discovered that Morrdredd's hobby is arts and crafts!  It's about time someone became a toy maker in this neighborhood and since her LTW is to raise 20 puppies and kittens (this will not happen) and she's not career driven.... congratulations Morrdy on your toy bench.  Get to work!





     The day after grandma Zayna died didn't feel like the right time for a wedding... but Xavian did take the opportunity to propose on Friday!  Spoiler alert; She says yes!





     Linden also grew up to an adult dog!





     A Saturday wedding was immediately in the works.  But late Friday night.... Could this be a bad omen!?




     The tree that Xavian proposed under went through a heck of a lightning fire!  I'm a bit nervous as to the wedding plans now.  I'm pretty solid on them having a back yard wedding but I'm keeping the wedding church in mind still.  

     Saturday dawned and it's going to be a busy day.  A birthday and a wedding in one day!  Deb's sharing her birthday with her son and future sister-in-law!  Wait, TWO birthdays?  




     Aww, Teddy!  You are so handsome!   Not to be rude, buddy, but excuse me while I go figure out how to deck out the backyard for a summer wedding on the lawn.  




     I'm not sure if I'm taking a huge risk or being romantic by having them marry under the same tree he proposed under, which was on fire just 12 hours ago.   But.... here goes nothing!

The bartender, Brooke Howe


     The bartender was a bit of a mistake.  Everyone drank too much, had to pee, and even with a normally sufficient amount of bathrooms, the party started to break up at this point.  

     Deb didn't mind.  She wasn't looking to make a big deal over her birthday.  But Deb!  How often do we get to have a fancy formal-wear birthday?  








     Ta-Da!  I think she looks like the perfect grandma.  I'm surprised her and Morrdy (both family sims) aren't already reminding me that they want babies.  

     WHEW!!!  

     With all the family activity all week, I decided not to have them host the big Sunday dinner.  They've had everyone over for Zayna's passing, wedding/birthday, and I think they just need a day to do as they please.  

     I did not mean for Trevor to be out haunting though.  I guess he noticed we weren't having the Sunday family dinner.  




     Or maybe he hasn't found Zayna on the other side yet?  Trevor might be angry trying to figure out what happened to her.  Who knows?  But the irony is, Xavian wanted to see a ghost.  Because .. knowledge sims, who even understands them?  And I had Xavian stalking Trevor around the house.  But Xane just accidentally has a run-in with the ghost.  Xane's also a knowledge sim so nothing was really lost out here.  

     But that was the only exciting thing to happen on Sunday.  Next stop... The Linds!  With Zoey, Frazier the trash kicker, Walter and his fiance Julie!
