TS2 - Legacy Cove
Week 29
3001 Archer Street
I lied to everyone that read the last post. I told you that the next update would be with the second Lind household. That's because I didn't double-check my rotation list and forgot all about poor Yeva Panda.
So, surprise! This update is for Yeva. Coincidentally she is the cousin of the founder of the second Lind house, Yamaris Panda Lind. But still, I was wrong.
Please accept my most sincere apologies and read this very brief update on one of the quietest Sims in Legacy Cove.

MONDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeva lives by herself now, since her oldest sister Yvette passed away over a week ago. And we kicked out Tyson, the former maid.
No pets, it's just Yeva.
So she spends a lot of time puttering around. Breaking things, fixing them, lounging on the couch.
I teleport them in starting around noon. That's the biggest event pretty much every day!
Kicky bag continues to be all the rage here in Legacy Cove. There's enough sports fans in the Panda family that I expect more playing catch or tossing a football. But no.
There is only kicky bag.
In the garage we have dancing! Quentin boogies down with his great-aunt Yeva for a long time. So sweet! He's a good kid.
Hey, Lisa Gillen also stopped by!
I caught her walking by and had Yeva run out to greet her since we don't see much of her around these here parts.
You might catch more of her when I play university kids. They almost always have townies and NPCs around to mingle and see if there's any love matches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TUESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yvonne's family were the guests of honor for Tuesday's dinner.
Brandon is reading one of Tyson's old sports magazines which I thought was pretty nifty.
The sports magazine looked like this one by the time Brandon was finished reading.
I also brought over Yoren's potential love match, Ulva Centowski.
She's not very outgoing so I thought some extra time for her to get to know the family was needed.
Kayla Panda also was here almost every day this week! If Yeva has a best friend since Yvette passed, I guess it must be her!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEDNESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who raised these heathens? We don't play games like this indoors!
PS - today Yeva's twin brother Yardley and his family were tonight's dinner date.
A stray named Rocky was walking by and he looked so much like their old cat Yo-Yo that I sent Yeva out to greet him.
I guess I should have expected this, but Rocky began acting like he owned the place.
He got lots of attention though from all the Sims!
Even if this cat was a bit of a menace when the Sims' backs were turned!
Rocky ran wild in the house when not actively getting attention. They just left without a goodbye. Cats, sheesh.
Somehow Yeva hadn't met Shayla's boyfriend Rocco (even though they aren't technically dating now that he's in college and she's still in high school. But they are meant to be!) so they spent some time talking.
Rocco scored even more points from me for being sweet with great-aunt Yeva.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THURSDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So she spent some time laying in bed, daydreaming about our local police officers...
... jumping on the couch...
... and learned how to make Crepes Suzette.
She did spend some time talking to people on the phone, and Ulva... ULVA OF ALL PEOPLE ... has been calling her every day since they met. I wish I could explain through words how I struggle for everyone to keep up a good relationship with that kid. And here she's just calling Yeva every dang day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FRIDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just like real life, the snow has become never-ending the last few days.
You won't catch me out there trying to make a snowman though. It's too cold!!!
Friday is cousins day, right?
So I invited over all of Yeva's cousins. Well, what's left of them anyway. Generation three is rapidly depleting!
They didn't act their ages tonight though! There's two snowball fights here in her backyard!
It turns out Lindsay's got some moves! I don't know where she's been dancing at to build up her skill level but she can really boogie!
Yeva joined her after a while, but I think Lindsay's face says enough.
Yeva does NOT have moves.
She's trying though, Lindsay. Be nice!
I think the penguins are planning to take over the capital so we need to be prepared for this.
Though I'm of the mind to let them try and watch what happens. For science?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SATURDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturdays are still for the kids, so Yeva had all her great-nieces and nephews over.
The snow is still blowing outside so most of them were happy to stay inside where it's warm and dry!
The Yoren and Little Vincent got an extra gift each to go towards the new Panda Hall residence being built on campus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUNDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeva woke up before dawn.
I let her do what she wants within reason most mornings. And even when it's not within reason, such as going outside in your pajamas to build a new snowman in the dark.
She's 76 days old, so who am I to stop her.
But when I saw Big Vincent walking by, I sent her to greet him.
Big Vincent is a great Sim too, he's hard not to like!
The penguin was the next visitor.
The penguins communicate through the snowmen and I just can't stress enough how we need to keep an eye on them.
Penguins are more realistic in "Madagascar" than they are in movies like "Happy Feet". LISTEN TO ME, people!
Saving me some clicks on the teleporter!
Most of Yardley's family ended up in the garage doing the smustle.
There's a cluster of Pandas in the garage, so Shayla, Kayla, and Sebastian had to line up along the wall to shake their groove thangs
They have a great twin bond. I've had lots of twins that look more similar but Yardley and Yeva have that special twin relationship and I love it!
I've got a big of a situation here though.
Yeva's lifebar is looking pretty dang full.
I wish I could keep her around at least one more week! If she lives through the rest of the day, then at the end of Yardley's week I think I'm going to move her in with his family.
You know, I don't see these two socializing much. Rare enough that I had to snap a photo because this really might be the only one of this aunt/niece combo!
Now what in tarnation....
A penguin walks into a house, and I'm sure there's a joke to be made.
But I'm stressing out again.
It makes me kind of sad.
But Yeva's always been a bit of an introvert. She'll socialize when approached but she's also very happy to just sit off to the side. Usually watching TV or having a quiet chat with one of her family members.
It just really seems like she never makes any noise. Which is probably why the stereo in her garage hasn't driven me nuts. Every other household, i'm yelling in my head "TURN THAT THING OFF!"
She has a smaller house and it's just stuffed full of Sims. But she's just eating her grilled cheese all alone.
It's the calm before the storm.
Hang on, here we go....
Everyone finally came to gobble down the grilled cheese, so I sent her to go make a quick pot of spaghetti.
And wouldn't you know it....
At least her family is here and crowded near as best they can in her final moments!
It's because she's in the kitchen now, isn't it, Grim?
He knows when they are in a tight space and that's when he shows up.
Jackass.
Yoren seems distracted though...
... I see.
I swear, if you all could just see my face right now..
(Chicha's face from the Emperor's New Groove will not ever not be my absolutely favorite expression.)
Yeva Panda, 77 days old, has passed away on Sunday of Week 29 at 9:09pm.
She joins her parents (Rob and Zamaris Panda) along with her sister Yvette Panda and brother Yung Panda on Grim Isles.
She's survived by her sister Yamaris Panda Lind and brother Yardley Panda, along with so many nieces and nephews.
I wish she could have hung around until Yorwyck or Vera graduated and could have taken on her house, but alas.
It's been a while since the last Sim on a lot died. Usually once Grim arrives they can't be selected and I forgot this is the action that queues up.
Ugh, take it to Tinder, buddy.
Glad she gave away most of her money earlier this week.
She had roughly $76k and gave $5k paintings to the kids twice, plus extras to the boys going onto the new Panda residence hall like I said earlier.
$1k seems piddly in comparison.
Why is this happening! Argh!
And here I messed up, because I went into build mode to move the urn to the counter then couldn't return to live mode. So the only option was to sadly exit the lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So that's the end for Yeva Panda and 3001 Archer Street. Though I think I'll have Vera buy the house after she graduates university. First though, she has to GO to university! So now, after double-checking obsessively, it's off to the Lind household to send the twins to college (and see what's on Yamaris's tombstone when Grim comes for her. Grr!).
Thanks for reading, and y'all come back soon, ya' hear?
