The Richmond Legacy: Generation 4, Chapter 5
Hello everyone! Hope you are excited for another chapter of the Richmond legacy! This one is going to be a little long, because we have to get a bunch of birthdays out of the way! Everyone but Annette will be aging this chapter..... and I do mean EVERYONE. So sit back and get ready :D
The Richmond Legacy: Generation 4, Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, let's not waste any time then, eh Hope?
Amazingly, this would only be her adult birthday. She's managed to pop out six kids and get one of them all the way to her teenage years, before even leaving young adult status!
Hope: "I don't like this! I want to keep my youthhhh!"
-- Kind of sucks for you.
Hope: "Hey, this isn't so bad..."
-- Let's get to a mirror before making that judgement.
Alright, it's not terrible. I gave Hope a more motherly look (at least, she's wearing darker lipstick and different eyeshadow lol) to suit her new age.
Hope Richmond
Traits: Brave, Artistic, Clumsy, Hot-Headed, and Family-Oriented
LTW: Master of the Arts
Jay: "You didn't forget about me, did you?"
-- Of course not. What, were you expecting a cake? You're not going to look any different, so why bother?
Jay: "But.... but I'm gonna be old and gross! I'm not ready for this!"
Jay: "Hey.... this isn't so bad."
Jay: "Rawr."
-- Excuse me while I BARF.
Phew! Much better.
Jay Richmond
Traits: Virtuoso, Ambitious, Loves the Outdoors, Loner, Absent-Minded
LTW: Hit Movie Composer
Billy: "Hey, Mom! Come look what I made! ... Mom? Dad?"
-- I don't think they're paying attention.
Billy: "You'll look, right voice?"
-- Okay sure. It's beautiful dear.
Billy: "Sometimes I think you're the only one who cares about me in this house..."
-- What! That's not true. Your parents love you, even if they don't always pay attention to you. And I know Annette is always looking out for you.
The next birthday to occur was the twins'. Oh wait, I can't just say that, can I? Okay, the older twins then.
And sorry if the title picture spoiled it for you ;)
Brooklyn was up first.
Hope: "Shewwwww!"
Brooklyn: "Sheewwww!"
Brooklyn: "Yay!!! Birfday!"
Brooklyn: "I karate chop da spawkles!"
Brooklyn: "Ta daaa!"
Brookie rolled Technophobe for her third trait.
Since I always like to look at pictures of twins right near each other, Rayleigh will age before I show Brooklyn's mirror picture.
Rayleigh: "I wuv birfdays! Yay!"
Rayleigh: "Tee hee! I's cute!"
Ugh I hate when that happens...
Rayleigh: "That was traumatizing."
Rayleigh rolled Hydrophobic for her third trait. Hmm they both got fears for their traits... Interesting.
Brooklyn Richmond
Traits: Friendly, Artistic, Technophobe
LTW: Undecided
Color: Spice Brown
Rayleigh Richmond
Traits: Heavy Sleeper, Artistic, Hydrophobic
LTW: Undecided
Color: Violet
I always think it's interesting how different twins look. Brooklyn got her daddy's skin tone and Rayleigh got her mom's. They both have Jay's eye shape, and while Rayleigh has the standard Richmond green eyes, Brooklyn has kind of a mix between Hope's green eyes and Jay's hazel ones.
Next it was the younger twins' turn! I was SO excited to see how these two would turn out, as there was really no guarantee. I had no idea what any of Tad's family looked like. Julianna, the firstborn, took her turn first.
Cue the breathless anticipation......
AND... you can't see anything. I hate babies that grow up bald!!! >:(
AND I'm going to make you wait until Sydney goes to see what they both look like :D Don't you just love suspense? Tee hee.
.............
Ugh another bald one! Okay mirror time!!!
BLAM! Aaah OMG Julianna got Liza's hair!!! Woot!
Julianna Richmond
Traits: Artistic, Light Sleeper
LTW: Undecided
Color: Blue
And WOW where did that come from?! Sydney is the Richmonds' first true blonde!
Sydney Richmond
Traits: Artistic, Easily Impressed
LTW: Undecided
Color: Yellow
I love when twins are born with favorite colors that go well together :) Must be the artistic-ness that runs in the family ;)
The older twins spent some time bonding while I redid Tony and Cole's old room on the third floor for them.
-- Ready to see your new room girls?
Here it is!!!!
This is a CC bedroom set :D I'm finally figuring out how to download CC and such! If you didn't notice, the little twins' hair is custom as well. I'm so excited!
Here's a shot from above the desk. I love the beds, they are so cute! Everything is decorated with Brooklyn and Rayleigh's preferred colors in mind. This took me FOREVER so appreciate it! ;D
Meanwhile I just can't get over the cuteness of the little twins!
And I can't decide which is cuter!
Jay: "I don't like them."
It was interesting to see that when Jay interacted with them, the relationship title that showed up was Step-Daughter. I guess technically that's true... I wonder if the twins will ever know that Jay isn't their father.
Awwwww <3
Another cool thing I downloaded was the Sparkle Eyes eye replacement! It's found on Mod the Sims and it really makes a difference!
Just look how much prettier Syd's eyes look!!
And Hope's too! Although I hate the adult status because it reminds me that my Sims won't live forever :( Hope is definitely looking older.
Juli: "La la la laaa! I makes pwetty music!"
Rayleigh: "Oh no Mr. Shower! How COULD you?!"
Rayleigh: *sniffle* "I'm so sad!"
-- What happened?
Rayleigh: "He... he broke up with me!!"
-- Maybe he felt like a pedophile dating someone so young.
-- Or maybe he just wasn't comfortable seeing you naked after only knowing you a few days.
At first I thought she'd broken the shower, because she was sobbing over it. But no, Mr. Shower is fine... Is it because Rayleigh's hydrophobic and I forced her to shower anyway? Hmm... Interesting...
Hope: "All right baby, we're going to learn how to walk, okay?"
Sydney: "Umm... okeys mama."
Hope: "Good dog! I mean girl!"
Hope: "Come to Mama, my little puppy!"
-- Fail.
Hope: "Shut up! Like you could teach her better."
Hope: "That's my good girl! Who's Mama's little puppy? Sydney! Aww..."
The kids, like their father, loved the outdoor patio table and usually did their homework there.
As for Jay, he was moving towards his LTW very quickly now. He'd finally reached level 5 of the career and joined the Symphonic career branch! He was a member of the orchestra and got to wear a fancy tux now.
-- Good morning Billy!
Billy: "Hey voice."
-- Are you excited for your birthday?
Billy: "You didn't forget?"
-- Of course not! I get notifications.
Billy: "Do you think anyone in the house remembers?"
-- Yes, I do! You remind me of your uncle Bo! He thought everyone hated him too. Your family doesn't hate you.
-- Hello Jay. Why are you playing guitar in Annette's room, again?
Jay: "I have to gain skill to get a promotion! Duhhh."
-- I just meant... why here of all places?
Jay: "....."
-- Forget it.
Brooklyn: "So this is my Aunt Fatima."
Yes... indeed it is. Apparently the kids' living grandparents had another child about the time their son's youngest daughters were being born. So Jay has a little sister (the poor girl is named Fatima) he's never met, who is the same age as his children. Weird.
Okay, we're at the last birthday of the chapter! Whew! I can't believe little Billy will already be a teenager.
Billy: "I wish never to have to do homework ever again!"
Annette: "Dream on little brother!"
Rayleigh: "Hehe... He's gonna have icky hair."
What a sweet facial expression <3
Billy: "This.... sucks."
-- Don't worry, you'll snap out of it in a minute.
Billy rolled Schmoozer for his fourth trait.
Oooh we've got a handsome one! :3

Well, that's it for now! I know chapters that are nothing but birthdays can get a little boring, but thankfully this means we're done for a while! Hope you enjoyed it, and any comments are of course greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading, and see you next time!
