      I've never kept track of the weeks in previous neighborhoods, so sometimes when I think something like, "Wow, I'm about to start week 27", I feel like it's "only" been 27 weeks.  Then the other half of the time I'm thinking it's crazy that I'm on generation five in only that amount of time.  Sims time is definitely different than real life time.   

     What is pretty cool though is that as Legacy Cove passes from spring to summer, the real world (at least here in the northern hemisphere) is doing the same.  And what you can expect to see this summer in Legacy Cove is a new public pool, puppies, and a lot of birthdays with the generation 5 kids growing up to teenagers.  There's a few that will still be children but they'll be the minority.  I expect we'll see the Grim Reaper more often than I like as well.  It's going to be a crazy summer, that's for sure! 

     I'm excited to see the kids grow up and see what aspirations they roll and how they start pairing up.  I have the extended family mod from ModTheSims so they shouldn't have crushes on anyone their parents still consider family.  I tested this with trying family kisses with some adults and kids.  Knock on wood, it seems to be working as needed.  If all else fails I can flag them as family in SimPE.   

     So who CAN match up in a relationship?  Between week 25 and 26 I posted a really confusing list of how the families are segregated now.  Basically, I am looking at our generation 2 kids - Zachariah, Zamaris, and Zayna - and their descendants as individual family trees.  There's a twist in there with the Lind family, as Frazier and Fletcher were twins in Legacyville and I reconnected them as brothers when they married.  

     Alright, let me break down our "Houses".  Sims within the same "House" aren't going to date or marry another in their House.  

First... The Archers

     That's 19 kids for generation five!  Quite the population burst!  Which is why I'll be trying to match kids up with each other where possible.  Plus, I haven't decided who will be the childless one.  Each generation has at least one "barren/sterile" Sim to help the population booms.   

 

     Just a fun trivia fact:  Of the 19 kids for gen 5, only four of them have black hair.  The others are brunettes.  Not a recessive hair gene in sight.  Hopefully when they start marrying other playables, the recessive genes will start peeking out more!  

     Another gen 5 trivia fact, only Yoren and Yorwyck have the founder Zane's eye color.  A few might be carrying it with another eye color expressed but I haven't gone into SimPe to peek.  

 

     One last thing to note;  There's a few changes in the townie pool.  I showed in the previous blogs a few teens growing up, Kylie Tumbler and Julian Smith.  Makayla Pepper and Gweneth Indie also went from teen to young adult to adults.  There's two more in uni currently, twins Ryan and Rainey Lawson.  I'll probably pop over to the uni 'hood a few times and have them in their junior year when gen 5 starts flooding the campus.  

     SO!  Who's ready for SUMMER!  Let's dive in!
