 TS2 - Legacy Cove

Week 28

1003 Centowski Street

     Happy fall, y'all.  Yes, spring is here in the real world, but Legacy Cove is still raking leaves.   We're past the halfway point in regards to the playlist, but I have a feeling it'll be summer in real life before it's even winter here!  

     No matter what the weather is, I'm here to take you through a week of the third of the Centowski houses.  Someday to be the Stephens house, but luckily Grim hasn't taken our patriarch and matriarch yet.  Not today, Grim... not today!  This house in particular has a nice mix of aspirations and hobbies so it's hard to get bored playing these guys and gals.  Let me just re-introduce them to you now...

MONDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monday started off a little richer than the day before but still hectic.  

Thanks Deb for thinking of everyone here when you set up your inheritance!

It was a big moment for Trace, as he's the only Fortune Sim in the house.

I guess I should have bought him something nice, but maybe it's best I didn't think of it.

The household is no longer struggling, but their cash is lower than their peers.

I guess being Celebrity Chefs wasn't very lucrative.   Especially since Xander retired a long time ago.

Cassie's currently just using up her vacation days but she's not going to cry when it's time to retire.  More time to spend hiking and gardening!

It's Chessa's birthday today also.

She woke up cranky...

Her personality is also set at aggressive.  I forgot to fix Cooper's stats when he was purchased at the pet store, and he passed it on to all 3 of his puppies.

Lesson learned!!

And like I said above, they aren't struggling anymore, hooray!  So I did some tweaks to the exterior of their house.  It didn't look quite right in the neighborhood view.  

Changed the roof and added the stone.  It looks snazzy.  There's a few more trees making more leaves to rake.  It's okay, Cassie likes them in the compost bin.

Oh, no.

Soupy brought home my sister from work?

MY SISTER IS IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER?

I better never break the law in this game.

Xane's household was also visiting, so I was worried about my sister's grumpy Sim starting fights.

But she ate calmly.  Perhaps because she and Xayden there had a fling a few weeks ago.  

I need you to keep her in line, Xay!!!!

The rest of Xane's family was in the living room.

Morrdy's on the couch with Soupy (they are real-life ex's so I might need popcorn).

Xavian in brown, Xavier's back is to us (he's not part of Xane's household, he invited himself in).  And Xane cheesing in the back.  Oh, and Cooper!

Xayden kept Teressa on the back deck catching up and making excuses for why she can't go to his house with him.

You are doing the Lord's work, son.  

WTF BUGS

OMG OMG OMG

CASSIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!??

I gotta get her away from them then send every one home before someone catches the flu and there's another pandemic!

I convinced her to spray instead of stomp.  But Xyla came in.

FOR THE LOVE OF WRIGHT, GO HOME.

Last thing I need is a disease spreading around the uni campus!!!

What is happening here?

How is Xavier spraying them?  He doesn't live here.  They can do this autonomously?

Why can I not get the guests to go home?

I'm stressing out!

I had Soupy come in and spray them some more.  

I think it may be working.   I couldn't let them go to bed with bugs running in swarms around the house.

Gave me the creeps to think about it.  I don't care if this is a game, NO BUGS!

This is amazing...

I think the spraying worked.

I guess they just need sprayed a couple of times to kill 'em?

In any case, I'm still having Benjamin come over tomorrow to double-check.

One positive though;  I sent Xander outside with Chessa to teach her to "Come Here" so they'd be out of the house and neat-freak Xander wouldn't be trying to stomp the bugs.  

And we have success there too!  

I was hoping Chessa would be Soupy or Trace's dog, but Xander loves her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TUESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trace wakes up every morning and works out.

I told him I was going to put him on the front page of Teen Fitness magazine and he posed for me.

Sucka.

He looks cute though, doesn't he?

Bless you, Benjamin Grundstrom.  BLESS YOU.  

Not sure why you had to tell me that in the one unfinished bedroom that's filled with junk so there's a questionable picture of this moment, but bless you.

That's a lot of service cars lined up on the street.

I'm sure the other two houses on the street will be calling or stopping by.

Heck, it's Xavier's household's turn to visit so I'll just start teleporting them on over.  Might put them to work by influencing someone to garden.  These leaves don't rake themselves! 

Charles Perry is another NPC that I adore.   Except when he overwaters the gardens.  There's sprinklers and hydrobots, they don't always need water.  

And he'll be raking until almost sunset.  But we compost the piles almost as fast!

Happy birthday to Laurel!

Our momma dog is an elder now.  And relaxing isn't for her and Cassie.

They still take a walk every morning, but sometimes I leave Laurel home now when Cassie goes on her hikes.

Treva.... if you could see my face...

Do you want bugs?  This is how we get bugs.  Take the stuff to the trash or compost, THEN go to work.  

Please, these rules are simple.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEDNESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you even kidding me right now, Cassie?

And to myself, why have I not used the visitor controller to ban those stupid skunks???

Because guess who is pulling up right about...........

........ now.  

Sigh.  

Look at the lil fart running by the car.  I swear to Wright this game plays with my emotions TOO MUCH.

Do I tell him to look out for the skunk?  Or just lead him away with a tour of the house?

Let's try the tour.

Don't want to alarm Headmaster Riley.

I gotta calm down.  The score for the house tour could have been better.  

And looking at this now, maybe I shouldn't have sat Mr Grouchy (Xander) at the table to add to the conversation.

That was wrong of me.  I see that now.

One point.

We need one more point.

We can do this, Trace!

WHOOP!  

We are victorious!  

It's been a while since I failed a Headmaster visit.  But I thought I might see it today.

Nope, Trace is a charmer!

Congrats, kiddo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THURSDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, Xane, I see you.

Yes, you can come over.

It's Thanksgiving!  The whole family is coming over!

Trace still has to go to school, but he gets home at 1pm.  I don't start bringing the guests over until about noon.

And they are just going to teleport in and stand there.

...

I did not expect this from a Celebrity Chef.  I suppose it's her first turkey.

They always seem to burn things the first time they try a new dish.

That's why the good Lord above gave us buffet tables with turkey.

It's a full house!  

Zyler came home on the bus with Trace and heck, come on in.  He's a shy kid so he could use a little social interaction.

What's Thanksgiving without a few extra friends at the table anyway!

Seeing as how Xayden is the only current bachelor in the neighborhood, I'm a bit worried about what kind of show he's been to see.

Xora looks a bit too interested, which adds to the worry!

Then Treva's face... That looks like disapproval.  Oh, dear.

Why are you looking at me, Zyler??

I'm not sure what he wants.  Unless it's a game controller.  The twins and Uncle Xayden currently have both of them in their possession.

And Ulva is kicking their butts!

Wait, maybe Zyler likes Ulva?

(I went to check afterwards, they just have one bolt.  But for a shy guy like Zyler, that's a lot I guess.)

Before Zyler headed home later that night, Cassie gave Trace some eggplants and such to give to him.  

There's not a gardener currently in the Archer family line, so any produce is very welcome to them.  

Cassie seems pleased.

Hey, check that out!

Xander trimmed down one of the fruit trees to help his wifey out since she was tired.

And got himself a silver badge!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FRIDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cousin day brought the twins right back over.  

Xander, for all of his grumpiness, really likes all the kids and his relationship scores with all of them is top tier!

Treva is as grumpy as her old man, and she struggles to keep her relationships high.  We manage though!

Though he's not their natural uncle, Soupy also has a great time with his nieces and nephews by marriage.

He's got great relationship scores too.

So cousin day is pretty laid back at this point now.  Just let them top up those scores and get some aspiration points.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SATURDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And Saturdays are still for all the kids to get together!  Everyone's finally in their teens with a few off to Uni.  

There's a few relationships here that Trace could make stronger, but for the most part it's just a sit back and watch thing.

My dad came home with Soupy.  Why are all of my family members' Sims in the law enforcement career???

Wait until real-life Griz finds out he's a Captain Hero!

I'm gonna send him home though because he gets along with kids but he is known for stirring up mischief!!

Trace had a great time with all his classmates though.  

He even made some money doing a freestyle.  

It was a smooth day, and drama-free.  I'll pay for this somewhere down the line.  But I'll enjoy a wholesome day in this game when I can get it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUNDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's the last day of fall.

Cassie's garden is empty and ready for winter now.  The last produce was ready to ripen when she woke up this morning.

Since the family was all over for Thanksgiving, today was spent being lazy.

Playing with the dogs, working on their hobbies, and Cassie went on another hike.

A great end to their busy week, if I do say so myself.

Chessa agrees!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     And now it's time to put the household to bed, and move o.. what the hell???  Soupy???  Heart-farting over LINDSAY????  (That's Treva's AUNT! 😲)

     .... That's a problem for another week.  Sorry Treva, try to get some sleep.  You can kick his butt next time.

Thanks for reading, happy Simming!
