The Richmond Legacy: Generation 7, Chapter 5 Part 1
Author's Note: Yes, another Richmond chapter!!! :D I hope you're excited guys! I'm sorry it's been soooooo long. I was gone last weekend and it's been finals week, which SUCKS let me tell you, lol, but I am officially DONE! :D I checked my grades online and I did really well! I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore! And now, it's winter break, and I have no school until January 3!!!! So let's hope for major onslaughts of chapters! :D And let me warn you, this one's a long one! I might have to finish it tomorrow, because I'm wiped out :P (It's 9 p.m. on Friday night right now, well where I am anyway xD) But let's get going!
The Richmond Legacy: Generation 7, Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to welcome you back with this fantastically, close-to-illegally cute picture. I cannot handle the cuteness that is Miles+Carter.
Since it's been awhile, I'll do one of these "last time" things: Last time, Reina and Gabe went on their Old People Adventure (O.P.A.), to Egypt! It was basically a huge pic spam. Yeah.
Jade: "Yay! Key lime pie! :D"
*Sigh* I won't apologize for it since I know you guys like it, but dang there is a ton of kid-spam this chapter xD
Ruby: "So sissy, I think we should form a secret club."
Jade: "What kinda club?"
Ruby: "Oh, I dunno exactly, but something that makes MONEY!"
Jade: *sigh* "Your obsession is tiring, but I suppose I will join."
Ruby: "YAY!!!"
Oh, in other news, remember that shower that wouldn't show up? It's back xD
Readers: *don't remember at all*
I suppose it's more of an in-game thing, upon reflection.....
Jules' newest hobby is scaring Carter by haunting the innocent little armchairs in the nursery.
Reina: "Honey?"
Gabriel: "Yes dear?"
Reina: "What time is it?"
Gabe: "4:00 in the morning."
Reina: "And we're getting up?"
Gabe: "Looks like it."
Reina: "We're old."
Gabriel: "Well hey, I always knew I wanted to grow old with you."
Awww, that was so sweet Gabe! I guess I'm in a mushy mood xD
Ruby: "Aaahh, the sweet smell of cash rolling in."
Still taking advantage of your Aunt Cameron's stuff, I see >_>
Well hello Jade! Got tired of slaving over a hot stove for your sister?
Jade: "Yep! She's just being silly. This is the best way to live your childhood!"
I definitely agree! Think about stuff besides money while you still can!
Innocent lady: "Hmmm, I'll take one of.. maybe the caramel brownie?"
Ruby: *under breath* "That's right, nice lady... go for the caramel. Caramellllll brownieeee."
Ruby: "Heheh. She doesn't know that the caramel ones have the most laxatives in them >:D"
*dies*
This. Is. Unbearably. Cute.
Carter: "Hewwo Daddy!"
*dies again*
OMG Miles. YOU'RE TOO CUTE.
Miles: "I know. Hello son! How's my champion today?"
Jade: "I'm like a biiiird, I only fly awaaay! I don't know where my soul is! I don't know where my home is! And baby all I need for you to know is I'M LIKE A BIIIIRD! I ONLY FLY AWAAAAAY!"
She's really taking this carefree thing to heart...
I do complain occasionally about the Artistic family trait thing, but the truth is I love having all my sims be good at painting. Check out the awesome works of art we have! I sometimes don't know where to hang them all :O
Also! I started a new relics museum in the basement, like we had in the old house, B.C. xD I'm really digging the Egypt room, which is all we have ATM xD
Well, it couldn't be a Richmond chapter without a birthday, now could it? And in fact there are 4 this chapter xD First up is my baby Carter!
Did his toddlerhood fly by, or is it just me?
Of course the whole family came to celebrate... Jade, appropriately, clad in her athletic wear xD
Jade: "Well duh! What else would I wear? Formal? Pfft."
Lol. It's just so cute.
Carter: "YAAAY! I's gwowin' up!"
Miles: "Well, this is nice down here! :) I like the incense, it smells good."
Ruby: "Grandpa, do you believe little children can accomplish their dreams?"
Gabe: "Well, depends on what your dreams are.... But generally, yes!"
Lol, he looks terrified xD
Ruby: "How viable does stealing Saturn's rings sound?"
Gabe: "Uh..........."
*Sigh* Okay okay, I've stalled long enough. Ready to see Carter as a child?!?
Yes. Here he is, in all his beauty. I love this child. Look at the cute! I want to eat him.
Carter gained the trait of Angler and looks almost exclusively like his mama. The only thing dad-related is his paternal grandfather's hair.
Carter: "Heyyyy! You were so distracted by my extreme cuteness, you forgot to mention the CC hair I have!"
That's right!! I did forget! But yes ladies and gentlemen - my CC is back!!!!! :D Around this time in-game (which was seriously like November 25, lol I'm waaay ahead), my computer got a little surgery! It went from having 2 GB of memory, to 4 GB! So, somehow, magically, that fixed my CC! I guess the computer just didn't have enough memory to understand the CC files anymore... But now it does! I'm super excited :D
Mainly random, but I just wanted to show you how awesome the famous rainbow zebra painting looks in the African-themed living room xD
Reina: "Shiiiit! I messed it up! D: Did anyone see??"
Ruby: "I did, Grandma, don't worry :)"
And now she's heard you swearing, too. What a great grandma.
Jade: "Computer. I know we've had a tough relationship in the past, but I wanted to apologize. I still love you."
Computer: "Ha! Silly human girl, you think I would still love you after everything you did to me?!"
Jade: "I thought you would be able to find it in your heart to forgive me."
Computer: "Well, you were wrong. Don't ever play 'The Humans 3' on me, or I'll kill all the babies you create."
Jade: "No! You've infiltrated 'The Humans 3'?! How COULD you?! I was doing a legacy challenge!!!"
I don't know if I mentioned this, but I changed Autumn's LTW. She now wants to be a Renaissance sim, and master 3 skills. My goal is Athletic (since she's already close), inventing, and I think I decided sculpting? But whatever she feels like basically, for the third one.
Damn, it's another unlucky customer of Ruby's.
RUBY RENÉE RICHMOND (dang isn't that a cute middle name for her? I'm so keeping that) IF YOU HAVE KILLED ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR INNOCENT BAKE SALE CUSTOMERS, YOU ARE GROUNDED, I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY TO ME.
Ruby: "No worries, Abby. I stopped poisoning the stuff, didn't I tell you? I just put laxatives in them now."
Sooo much better. Look, if I have overalls lady's shit all over my backyard, I will be just as pissed as if she died.
Ruby: "YOU SAID THE S-WORD, YOU SAID THE S-WORD! I'm telling Grandma!"
She said it in front of you like, 2 slides ago! >_>
Carter: "Ummm, voice?"
Abby. :)
Carter: "Abby? It's... it's kinda dark :( I don't like the dark much."
Aww! There you go little man, how's that?
Carter: "Much better thank you :3"
LOL they're painting the same picture, but Rubes' is inverted xD They really are like good and evil twins, aren't they?
It was like a lady Richmond painting party!
Carter: "Cool! A gigantic goldfish!!!"
Aww, he reminds me so much of his, like, great-great-great-great-grandpa, Joey, the founder's son :3 Flashback time, anyone?
Except Joey was disgusted by the unnatural size of the fish xD
(Look at the old house in the background!!!! You can barely see it, but AWWW. So tiny :3 With Charlie's police cruiser in the back, and the like 3 plants that they lived off of xD Anyone remember those days like I do?)
Ruby: "Um, hello? We're in generation SEVEN now, not one. Can we focus please?"
Sorry, I forgot you're an attention-seeking baby.
Ruby: "You did not! :O"
:) You know I love you, Rubes. But you only get what you dish out!
Ruby: "Whatever. Anyway, Jadey? Do you think Carter should join our club? I know it's top-secret, but he's kinda like our partner-in-crime."
Just realized I forgot to show you Carter's cute new room :3 He took Cameron's old room, so he shares a bathroom with Sydney xD Ah, well, they both like yellow!
Yes...
Lots of yellow.
Also, I put in some shelves to show off Autumn's various inventions. This is in the upstairs hallway-slash-Ambitions skill room, btw. The walls will also be lined with the fantastic paintings that Rei and Syd come up with! Okay, stop talking now. xD
Carter: "Can you tell Dad to stop running after me? It's making me even more nervous for my first day of school."
Sorry little man! Your dad's a little creepy sometimes. We love him anyway though. But you'll have a great time at school!
These two spend their days in the upstairs hallway together, doing various skill-building activities. Reina too, but she's in the art room :P Rei mastered painting AGES ago, but I want her to get to the top of the painter career, so she keeps painting. The only reason it's taken me so long is because I keep probably 2/3 of her paintings xD And the only way you advance is by how much you sell. Lol.
Jade: "Yay! Football is fun! Look how pretty I throw!"
Ruby: "Ooh! Ball! Yay! I'm gonna catch!"
These two are so gorgeous <3
Carter: "Do my sisters hate me?"
Aw! Of course not little man! They're just in that 'boys have cooties' phase, but they still like you!
Carter: *Sigh*
He did his homework all on his own, while his sisters were playing. Aww!!
Jade: "Ooh, cool! This slide looks neat!"
What an adorable little smile.
Jade: "WHEEEEEEEEE!"
Carter: "Ooh! What's this moving picture on the wall?"
That's called a TV, little man. :3
Carter: "CooOooOoolllll.."
Remind you of anyone?
Miiiiiiiless, what happened to the manly pink scrubs? D:
Miles: "Aw, I'm sorry, would it make you happier if I wore those?"
Yes, yes it would. >:|
OMG. Do you love Carter's PJs, or do you LOVE them?! Haha, I think they're adorable xD
Made cooler by this fact:
Check out MY pajama pants!!!!
It's like I planned that or something! >_>
Carter: "Sister? I know you're in a top-secret club, but do you still like me?"
Jade: "Aw, Carter! Don't be a silly pants. Of course I still like you! Rubes does too! We can still play together. But she and I have top-secret club business to do sometimes that you can't know about, that's all."
I honestly just like this for the composition of the photo, but anyway, Autumn went to the junkyard! *mandatory legacy commentary*
Carter: "Yyyyeaaah, that's the stuff. Dang, I like fireproof fireplaces! They're always available for your butt to be toasted. :3"
Carter: "Wheeee!!!!!! I also like slides!!! Look how fast I went!! I bet it was how warm my butt was!"
I think I need a lamppost in this playground or something :P The kids only ever play at night :P
And soon they won't play at all! It's time for the twins to become teenagers :')
Jade: "Yeah, swimsuit. Just the right outfit :D"
Ruby: *shakes head bemusedly*
I love that word. Learned it from Harry Potter :3
Last pictures of Jadey as a child <3
And last ones of Rubes :3
Are you ready?!
Bam!
Yeah. Jade honestly really scared me when I first saw her >_> I was worried she landed the ugly genes..
Fortunately it was nothing some makeup and eyebrow plucking couldn't fix! And honestly, she's one of those sims that is gorgeous, and CAS does NOT do her justice at all. Anyway, Jade rolled Mooch xD I see a ton of her father in her, despite her mama's hair.
But Ruby... Oh goodness. I can't even believe how stunning she turned out. I promised myself no playing favorites, but..... damn.
Also! Rubes rolled Frugal! I thought that was the most hilarious thing ever!! I literally laughed when it happened. Her whole childhood I portrayed her as obsessed with making money and saving money and having money, and she gets frugal? Lol. Too perfect.
Plus she and her twin have the two money-related traits that there are xD
RUBY <3 I can't handle how pretty she is.
Of course, Jade's gorgeous too... >_> *shudders*
Jade: "BARF! What is this gross ghost thing doing in my room?!"
Julianna: "HAAAIIIII!!"
Naww, I've missed typing her name
See what I mean though? Jade is really much prettier outside of CAS. She's got a more subtle beauty.
Julianna: "I WANNA TALK TO MY SISTER!"
Sydney: "Fine, FINE! I'm getting up! God, have you EVER been patient?"
Julianna: *disappears*
Sydney: "OH. So THAT's how it is. I see."
Reina: "YAAAY! You're finally getting around to giving us CC makeovers!!"
Sadly, Reina's usual hairstyle wasn't available for elders >_> Oh well. This one's adorable too.
What can I say? It's a flashback-heavy chapter. Wasn't she an absolute cutie?!
Ruby's traits would not let me give her an outfit less BA than this. It's just fact. xD
SYDNEY'S BACK!!!!!!!!
I can now sleep at night, knowing Syd has her signature braid.
Autumn: "This is my first appearance this chapter! :D"
Nuh-uh! You were in a flashback! And the background of a few pictures!
Autumn: "Doesn't count."
Dang, she is one muscular Childish lady xD
I decided on this hairstyle for her, now that I have my beloved CC back <3 I really like it! What do you guys think?
Jade: "Daaang, girlfriennn.. You need some serious help."
IForgotHerName: "I do?"
Jade: "Seriously. I mean, what's with the life preserver?"
*movie reference, movie reference, someone get it....!*
Jade: "I mean... your.. uh..... thighs look huge in those shorts, first of all."
IForgotHerName: "I kinda like it ;D"
Jade: "Uh.... yeah."
IForgotHerName: "Red hot high heels?"
Jade: "No. Combover."
IForgotHerName: "RED HOT HIGH HEELS!!!!!!!"
She didn't like it >.<
Jadey did, though! xD
HI MILES. MILES. HI! HEY MILES! HEY. HEY MILES. HI! HI MILES!
Miles: "Shut up. There's no purpose to this picture."
Actually, it was to show how much less gross your hair color looks with CC, but yeah, whatever.
I just thought this was pretty <3 lol. Carter loves fishing :3
Ruby: "WOOOOO!!! I got a TON of money in this game!!"
*Sigh* Oh Rubes...
Carter: ".... so then, after another hour, I pulled the line out of the water, and I realized the worm was gone! Some tricky fish ate the bait without getting hooked. Dang, I wish I was that sneaky."
Jade: "Awesome, kid."
Ruby: "My siblings are so lame."
Ruby: "Wait..... Did the voice just think something remarkably confusing, that's going to make all our brains hurt tomorrow?"
Phee: "Yes, actually, she did. Don't think too hard on it."
I also just love Ruby's facial expressions xD
*Sigh* Post too large.... FINE.... Go to part 2!!
