Hi! So, I guess I'll apologize for being absent (as I usually do at the beginning of chapters). School has started back up and dang I've been busy. We've also had a friend in from out of town so pretty much I haven't played Sims or sat at my computer very long in a long time. That being said, these pictures are from awhile ago because I've officially played up to where there will be an heir vote in this legacy! So I've gotta get these chapters out now :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aemma: I'm the bomb at homework, just so everyone knows.
Daemon: Yeah right!
![](http://i.imgur.com/c8TDgTd.png)
I think I had dialogue in mind when I took these pictures, but I completely don't remember. :S
Well, let's just enjoy Alysanne's cuteness then I guess!
![](http://i.imgur.com/CSuzocC.png)
Rhaego and Daemon are bffs, it's really sweet!
![](http://i.imgur.com/NZnO2Un.png)
I was finally able to buy one of these, and Alysanne was immediately all over it! She's got a few creativity-related traits (I totally know what they are...) and she loves the hell out of this thing.
![](http://i.imgur.com/H3IvFx2.png)
Alysanne: GLITTER :D :D :D
![](http://i.imgur.com/oHtMZTo.png)
YAAAAAY

Dany: Drogo, Rhaego, wouldn't you like to watch TV from the couch?
Rhaego: Not now, mother, I'm busy.
Drogo: ...
![](http://i.imgur.com/J4JWRyH.png)
Drogo: First let me do pushups!
Dany: *sigh*
![](http://i.imgur.com/HPEXer8.png)
Then Drogo unceremoniously became an Adult in his underwear.
Drogo: No one remembered my birthday :(
![](http://i.imgur.com/ULtFhgl.png)
We hastily made Dany a cake so that she wouldn't be stuck with the 'sad' moodlet for the rest of the day
![](http://i.imgur.com/25r2tqX.png)
Rhaego: So yeah then I said 'mom is so lame' and Aemma wouldn't even--
Dany: happy birthday to me
![](http://i.imgur.com/OjyqvwC.png)
Dany: I still look damn good ;D
![](http://i.imgur.com/Ejaag4h.png)
Example #534 of Daemon making weird-ass faces all the time
![](http://i.imgur.com/nn09Zkc.png)
We took a family trip to the gym, because everyone was getting a little chubby in the house and we can't afford any gym equipment yet.
Rhaego: This is too hard :(
![](http://i.imgur.com/oQKOqqI.png)
Aemma: Well at least I'm not sucking as badly as this lady over here
I enjoy the irony of the fried chicken they're all watching on TV
![](http://i.imgur.com/Qi5jFTh.png)
I tried to help Rhaego meet cute girls while we were out (since they don't make friends in school anymore)
But they were all adults :(
![](http://i.imgur.com/jyX4yzQ.png)
Unfortunately since there's no height difference he had to actually introduce himself to find out if they were his age or not (which I could only tell by whether there was a romantic submenu available or not... now there's a patch that includes their age in the thing that pops up over their head when you mouse over them, so that's helpful)
![](http://i.imgur.com/awFoaZt.png)
THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE BUT THEY'RE ALL TOO OLD FOR HIM D:
![](http://i.imgur.com/QY89EK6.png)
Aemma encounters the same issue
![](http://i.imgur.com/i02dVGb.png)
Seriously these two are like a power couple I love it
Drogo: Don't give up!
Dany: Never!
![](http://i.imgur.com/YlAXaBw.png)
The two littler ones played on the pirate ship playground nearby.
Daemon: I'm taller than you and therefore better
Alysanne: You're only taller because you're on a tower, moron
![](http://i.imgur.com/QNnwcTE.png)
Then we all went to the park! Some of us were exhausted, stinky, or starving to death, but they had to suck it up for the sake of cute family pictures.
![](http://i.imgur.com/D5gGBUu.png)
Aemma met a guy who is actually a teenager!!! We were both shocked haha
![](http://i.imgur.com/93xKHUY.png)
Drogo: Thank god for this food or i was seriously about to like die
Daemon: if only i was allowed to go home
Dany: NO. This is a FAMILY OUTING
Daemon: but i literally have a green stink cloud surrounding me--
Dany: you can shower when you're dead
![](http://i.imgur.com/dTF0tJM.png)
At least it wasn't hard for Aly to make some friends her age! Mostly because you can clearly tell that they're children and not teens/young adults/adults/elders
![](http://i.imgur.com/P6XkmMz.png)
Rhaego: My sister met a BOY? Ugh, gross, don't ever speak to her again
Guy (i'll have to look up his name): hahaha Aemma your twin is so funny!
Aemma: unfortunately i think he's serious
Dany: aw, kids these days
![](http://i.imgur.com/0nNqjhG.png)
A FAMILY PICNIC
Other than Daemon who is in the back fishing and stinking horribly, poor dude
![](http://i.imgur.com/FmsUOrw.png)
Rhaego: Hi Daemon! I feel just as horrible as you right now little bro
![](http://i.imgur.com/Asq8XXG.png)
Aemma's friend came back to the house with us, she was pretty excited :3
![](http://i.imgur.com/7BZbFVy.png)
Aemma: and the way they're changing the very mechanics of the game and the rule set now after so long is just INFURIATING
Guy: I have no idea what she's talking about but it's cute when she gets worked up about video games
![](http://i.imgur.com/TkkxNqd.png)
Aemma: Sorry, I'll stop for awhile. So tell me about you!
Guy: WHOA what I have to talk now? I'm not prepared for this!
![](http://i.imgur.com/yLLL1q9.png)
Aemma: Well, we don't HAVE to talk ;D
Niiiice flirty face there girl :P
![](http://i.imgur.com/Iyxh9yr.png)
But he was actually into it!
![](http://i.imgur.com/J61kqEb.png)
Rhaego: I am just pretending to have no idea that my sister flirted with a guy last night.
Yeah, flirted, and then he got grumpy and went home. It's not like they really did anything that's that big of a deal
Rhaego: shut up. it's 5:30 a.m. and I can be upset about whatever I want.
He works at the coffee shop and has to get up so early, poor guy. But he's the one who got the materialistic trait and rolls endless wishes for more money
![](http://i.imgur.com/MhBbuzF.png)
I think at this point every chapter just has to have a picture of Drogo going jogging. It's really all he does in his free time though.
![](http://i.imgur.com/XntJuWq.png)
Drogo: The jogging makes me get to eat COOKIES without remorse.
Mmmm
Drogo: Look, it's even SPARKLING! This will be the most magnificent cookie ever.
![](http://i.imgur.com/Zmvnm6H.png)
I read online that the type of food your sim eats influences their weight/fitness level, which it does not in Sims 3. So I decided to let Aemma try dieting to see if it actually works!
Rhaego: Lame. Salads are for losers.
![](http://i.imgur.com/KPXR3mk.png)
Aemma; Whatever, the only losers here will be all of you when you're fat from birthday cake and pancakes, and I'm sexy as hell.
![](http://i.imgur.com/OFkm1YT.png)
Daemon and Alysanne: HAHAHAHA yeah right!
Aemma: Just you wait. Weight doesn't show on children. You'll see soon enough.
![](http://i.imgur.com/teKOyFY.png)
Alysanne: "I'm Aemma and I only eat salads for every meal, and cookies are for fat losers!"
Daemon: Hahaha!!
Dany: You ought not to mock your sister for being health-conscious, while at the same time eating cookies!
![](http://i.imgur.com/yS430jI.png)
Drogo: I'm home and everyone here irritates me.
Dany: Yes welcome home dear, let me finish this chat with Octavia
Drogo: *continues to look suspicious*
![](http://i.imgur.com/gTriNKv.png)
Rhaego: Yeah, you know how I work at your cafe? Well, not anymore.
He couldn't do the early mornings anymore. I think he worked a total of like two days
![](http://i.imgur.com/iU2C7Os.png)
Then he got a job in retail for after-school, where at least he's allowed to sleep in the mornings.
![](http://i.imgur.com/xWiUOz9.png)
Dany: =*
Drogo: :3
![](http://i.imgur.com/Mcbpz6z.png)
Both: xD
![](http://i.imgur.com/ez8qzR6.png)
Dany: =| bye honey
Drogo: yep
![](http://i.imgur.com/iCzKNTJ.png)
Dany: I'm not really sure who this guy is but his hat is terrible
![](http://i.imgur.com/hROwcqp.png)
Aemma: Last selfie with the house before it gets remodeled!
Daemon: You're so lame
![](http://i.imgur.com/hPuYjkY.png)
Rhaego: Everyone is more lame than me, I am the MAN
I seriously love Alysanne's giraffe leggings
![](http://i.imgur.com/R8CxWiR.png)
So one thing I love about TS4's build mode is your ability to just pick rooms up and move them around wherever you want. It's so so nice!
![](http://i.imgur.com/kVv6Skk.png)
Here are my changes to the house. I guess a before-picture would've helped a bit, but basically I expanded the living room on the bottom right, and extended it further back in the middle so there's space for a bigger table and two desks. Then I made another kids' room so that they're not all sharing one room! The one on the right is the girls' room, you can see some of Alysanne's adorable little pictures she's made!
![](http://i.imgur.com/VkSyWN9.png)
Outside view. Just realized that the door is off-center since I expanded the right side of the house... ugh
![](http://i.imgur.com/GKVM08W.png)
Inside view... now much more space for TV-watching and eating at the table! Also that crazy map on the back wall is from Drogo's secret agent career.
![](http://i.imgur.com/vS6XyoS.png)
Kitchen and a custom content couch that I'm uncertain about
![](http://i.imgur.com/c5jUJbA.png)
New eating/homework/gaming space
![](http://i.imgur.com/68Y4hei.png)
Drogo's awesome secret agent stuff
![](http://i.imgur.com/zgVME0k.png)
The kids seem to like it all so far!
![](http://i.imgur.com/b4HhKzY.png)
Aemma: UGH mom seriously?
Dany: Well that's awkward.
What did I miss?
Aemma: I mean I asked you how WooHoo works but I didn't want an explanation of you and dad's sex life!!
Dany: Yeah... that was a bad move
![](http://i.imgur.com/F4LcOj4.png)
Rhaego: I'm so tired but so happy... i don't know what to do with my face
Retail is driving him insane I think
![](http://i.imgur.com/KZz4MnJ.png)
Drogo: OMG, is that my family?! That's so awkward, I didn't want to see them!
Drogo always does weird things when he gets home from work
![](http://i.imgur.com/arG1GXF.png)
Aemma has her dude friend over again... really gotta find out his name.
![](http://i.imgur.com/2ZfAGnI.png)
Aemma: He's trying to act like he could beat me at video games, but he so obviously could not
![](http://i.imgur.com/C4I77Gj.png)
Daemon is super good at the monkey bars! They're all he ever does.
![](http://i.imgur.com/f58xp71.png)
And lately Alysanne has been joining him! They're adorable together. It's almost like having two sets of twins, although Daemon is definitely older than Alysanne. They're bffs though! <3
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
There will be more of these guys to come soon! First I have to catch up on tons of chapters though. Also the next Atwood chapter has been written, I just have to take the pics now! So hopefully there won't be a crazy wait on that one.
**QUESTION: would you guys want an heir poll for this legacy? There is a lot to cover before I'll get to that point, but I've played up to it in-game and I'm just waiting to continue until I know. I have a personal favorite but I'd be happy with any of the kids. Would you guys vote if I put one out?**
Hope you enjoyed! <3 Please comment with your thoughts about the heir poll, and of course anything else you want to say is always welcome haha!
