Legacy Cove - Week Eighteen - 101 Bayview Drive

     Welcome again to the home of Zoey Archer Lind, her husband Frazier, and their totally adorable son Walter.  I'm so in love with toddler Walter.  He's an absolute cutie!  

     Zoey is the generation three spare.  A fortune sim that loves fitness.  She's reached her lifetime want of becoming a City Planner and has thoughts of owning 5 top level businesses.  Slow down, Zoey.  You are exhausting me.  

     Frazier is my red headed hunk.  He's out of the old neighborhood Legacyville for those that have forgotten and is twin brother to Fletcher, my hunka hunka burnin' love.  Frazier is also a fortune sim and is on the path to be a Hall of Famer.  He may be in the sports career path but this ginger cutie loves games.  

     And Walter, my darling lil guy.  He's got Grandma Amaris's green eyes.  He's a Gemini, with stats of 3 messy, 10 outgoing, 9 active, 10 playful, and 3 mean.  You'd never know he's not tipping the nice end of the scale though.  And that smile!  Oh!  Whatever you want Walter, it's yours!

     Frazier started the week off on a high point, bringing in that final promotion to Hall of Famer.  NOW guess who else wants to own 5 top level businesses.  Ya'll stop.  I need to lay down.  No one make me a fortune sim in your games.  I'm not cut out for this life. 

     My outgoing darling Walter is Mr Social.  I already feel him wearing me out with this too.  Remember to also make me an introvert in your games.  

Momma's boy.  It's a good thing I love Zoey or I'd be jealous.

Cousins!  Zavoy & Walter.

This is Xane & Deb's son, Xayden

     Before you know it, birthday time has arrived.  I'M SO NERVOUS!  Teen sims can be so awkward.  Walter, please keep your cuteness!  Okay.  Okay, I can do this.  Let's roll the picture reel. 

Summer birthdays are the best!  COOKOUT!

      Okay, it's time.  Someone hold my hand.  He's going to spin. I can't watch!!!

      Oh!  He's still adorable!  Just enough of that teen awkwardness to be cute.  I'm so happy!  Walter spun up to a knowledge sim, and he wants to be the Hand of Poseidon.  I'll have him spend some time with his great uncle Yung, our current neighborhood HoP, and see if he can pick up some tips.  

     Wait.... where did everyone else go?

      Get out of the garage!  There's one guitar and I swear to Wright it's about to go in the delete bin.  This garage is embarassing, everyone out!   You know what, let me show off the updates in Frazier and Zoey's bedroom, if that's not too weird.  

      I really like their room.  I am not sure Frazier does, but it says to me "a fortune sim's version of fun and sassy".  That's my Zoey.  

     Wow, their week is already at an end!  Next update will be at the other end of the aspiration spectrum with a trip over to pleasure sim Yvette's home!

Thanks for reading!

Legacy Cove - Week Eighteen - 1001 Centowski Street

     Back to the original Centowski household, home to their matriarch Zayna Archer Centowski and her husband Trevor, former resident of Legacyville.  They also live here with their eldest Xane and his wife Deb, along with their two twins.  Add in some schnoodles and we've got a full house!

     Twins do not leave me with a lot of time to take lots of pictures, so we'll just jump right up to their next birthday!  Childhood, here we come!!!  Roll that beautiful birthday footage!

     Uncle Xavier and Grandpa Trevor are really into this, as you can see.  They are probably hoping that the boys grow into those chubby cheeks they got from their momma.  

     Alas, it's not to be.  It's smoothing out a bit but still a pretty predominant trait and along with the Centowski nose, these boys aren't going to be easy to mistake if you see them out and about.   Let me introduce you to them though, because nevertheless they are good kids!

     Xavian is the eldest twin, he's an Aries and he's very into music and dance.  His stats are 3 messy, 9 outgoing, 7 active, 1 serious, and 7 nice.  Xayden is a Scorpio and loves sports.  His stats are 7 neat, 6 outgoing, 10 active, 5 playful, and 6 nice.  

     Their geeky household is a bit unprepared for these hobbies, so the boys got birthday gifts!

     The deck over there houses the telescopes for Grandma Zayna's science.  She's pretty obsessed with aliens.  If it's not herself she's hoping will be abducted then she's wishing it upon her family members.  

      And Sunday... family day... an uninvited visitor showed up.  

He is NOT INVITED.  

He is NOT WELCOME!  

He is TAKING MY TREVOR!

     Gah!  I was really not ready for this, I thought he'd make it to the next week at least.  Zayna and Trevor is the best love story in this neighborhood, a better love story than Twilight.  Taylor Swift wrote her song for these two!   Super shy, recluse Trevor and nerdy, introverted Zayna had little interest in any other sim than each other.  They were teenage crushes, college sweethearts, and married right after graduation.  

     It's enough to break my heart that Trevor has left his dear Zayna so soon!

     A bitter note to end on, but we've reached the end of the week.  Stay tuned for the next installment coming soon!

Legacy Cove - Week Eighteen - 1 Bamboo Blvd

     Welcome back to the Panda den;  Home to Zamaris Archer Panda, her son Yung and his wife Pearly.  

     Zamaris is the matriarch of the house, she's a Cancer that loves to tinker.  Her stats are 7 clean, 3 shy, 5 active, 4 serious, 8 nice.  I like her.  She's an Ecological Guru and goes to work one day a week wearing a leaf bikini.  After having five kids though, she's got enough vacation days that I rarely let her go to work at all.  Rack 'em up, sis!

     Yung is the 3rd born child but eldest male.  His eldest sibling Yvette has no plans to procreate and the 2nd child Yamaris wasn't interested in the family home so here Yung is to inherit the family fortunes.  He's a knowledge kind of sim and likes to play any kind of game.  He's the first Hand of Poseidon for Legacy Cove, so that's one lifetime want fulfilled.  He has his eye on becoming a City Planner but the 'hood isn't big enough for two of them and Zoey Archer has dibs on it.  (That sounds better than I'm just too lazy.)  Yung's stats are 7 clean, 3 shy, 3 lazy, 9 playful, and 7 nice.  He's a bit quiet, but I like him too.

     Pearly is Yung's bride and she's about ready to pop (Not pictured here!).  She's a nature-loving aquarius and has a thirst for knowledge.  Her stats are 4 messy, 3 shy, 5 active, 7 playful, and 6 nice.   Her lifetime want is to be a Criminal Mastermind, but first....

     She's not going to let me get pics of anything else, it's baby time!!  Incoming Panda cub!

     I want to note that I'm not fond of sims that have their babies in uncooperative spots for pictures.  This bathroom is roomy, but not big enough for the whole family gang and the photographer (me)!!!

     We have a girl!  With some input from the real Pearly, we've named this little girl Yvonne.  She has her grandma Zamaris's eyes!  I'm so excited!  I just can't hide it!  

      Along with the adult sims and newborn baby, the house is also home to the schnoodles.  Reginald (not pictured below) is the sire of Ruby, then there is also Rollins.

      There's been a lot of help from the extended family with the new baby.  Aunt Yvette has been very hands-on and Yamaris's husband Fletcher has been practicing as they are expecting their own visit from the stork!

     And with all this help, the infant days flew by.  And suddenly it's birthday time!  Eeek!  Can't wait to see what lil Yvonne looks like!  Okay, queue the pictures!

     She's definitely unique.  I'm a little scared of her, to be honest.  What has Yung and Pearly brought into this game?   I do not have a demon baby mod downloaded.  

     Well, let's check out her stats.  Yvonne Panda is 10 clean, 1 shy, 7 active, 7 playful, and 2 nice.  Yup, demon baby.  A Virgo demon baby.  

     I'm afraid if this was a real baby, she'd be a biter.  Yung doesn't seem to mind though, he loves his little demon baby.  

     Meanwhile, while Yung is taking on baby duty, Pearly has some catching up to do with her hobby.  She's getting a garden going and her skills are still fairly low so we're planning on this being a bit time consuming.

     Also, because leaving Yung alone with the demon spawn seems safe, did you know these things can break?   It's the criminal career reward thingy that builds creativity.  I've been playing this game for how many years now?  The things I still have yet to learn....

      Pearly is also working hard on getting those promotions at work.  She's on a roll, knocking out the skill points needed and bringing in the big bucks.  

      Yung already reached his lifetime want and only works Monday through Wednesday now, so he's on primary demon duty while Pearly puts in the time to catch her dream career but we're also making sure she gets that quality time with her darling daughter.  

     Whew, so that's where we are going to close up shop for the week here at the Panda residence.  I also just low-key adjusted the address and I'm sure no one noticed.  I'm fairly sure this has been addressed in previous updates on this house but I. Messed. Up!   Their address in-game is 1 Bamboo Boulevard but I entered it in on their first blog as "1001".   Now that there's offspring building on the same street and I went with their 'physical' address from the game I guess the best thing to do here is just make the change and roll on with it.  

     Anyhoo, stay tuned to the next update with the Centowskis and next week at the Panda house we'll see how young Yvonne does as she ages to childhood!

Thanks for reading!
