[ Disclaimer]
I've actually been playing the parents since they were teen sims, so technically the legacy started one generation before. But since I never documented anything, we'll start with this gen.
Anyway.
Meet Helene, née Hanover
I modelled her after my lovely cousin, who is currently "down under" as they call it.
I actually tried to keep her celebrity status no higher than three stars - but with the amount of celebrities hanging around Bridgeport, it was virtually impossible.
Her lifetime wish is (already fulfilled) to be a Superstar Actress.
This is her hubby Colter
They married as young adults and immediately had their first child. Colter started off from an average-earning family, but since his mother's success as head surgeon (or other some-such occupation), he inherited a large sum of money.
He's on his way to fulfilling his lifetime wish of reaching level 10 of the business career track.
And this is their son, Daniel
Glad this lil' guy turned out looking fine. Don't know how he'll look as a child, though. Here's to hoping.
I don't know whether he has his mother's skin, or his father's. It looks like it's somewhere in between - but that's not how it works in real life. Silly sims. His nose is also a little bigger than his parents' - don't know where that came from - but his lips and eyes are definitely from his mother.
Fortunately, Daniel's not a fussy baby. He hardly cries, has been potty-trained, and learns things pretty fast.
And you can't forget the family pet
The Middletons adopted Cindersoot as a stray, roundabout the same time Daniel was born. She's a well-behaved pet, and doesn't require much grooming.
She's had about six litters thanks to story progression, but fortunately they've been adopted by random neighbours.
And this is where they live:
Front view
Now, I know what you're thinking.
They live in a bloody mansion! How hard could it be?
Tell that to the bills they never seem to pay.
Anyway, Helene inherited this house from her parents, who started off pretty poor, mind you. It also started off with only one storey (err, two storeys, if you're American), but a second floor has since been added to accomodate children.
Back view
There used to be a bird in that cage, but for some reason, Colter released it. Probably because he couldn't be bothered taking care of it, and Cindersoot was always attacking it.
Birdseye view
The Middletons has since relocated their house (due to some tweaking in Starlight Shores), which is why the aerial view has different scenery.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the ground floor
That's a kitchen/dining room, sitting room with fireplace, butler's bedroom (yes, we have a butler), bathroom, and an indoor swimming pool. We also have an outdoor pool, carpark with two cars and one motorbike, and an extensive garden.
The first floor
We have the master bedroom, a bathroom, and an outdoor sitting area equipped with a fireplace and piano. The baby's crib is also in the master bedroom, since I couldn't be bothered watching sims go all the way to the second floor and back down every time Daniel needed to sleep.
The second floor
There are two bedrooms and an adjoining bathroom, a rather big balcony, and ... that's it!
