Staccato Legacy 3.1
HELLO!!!!!
I’m baaaaaaack!
Oh, no-one cares? Alright then, I’ll just carry on… ;P
Soooo, seeing as it’s been what… 2 and a half months?... since the last update, I think I’d better give a quick recap of the family happenings. Or you could, y’know, go back and read the last update. But really, who has time for that??
RUE became the generation 3 heiress.
This is her reaction when she realised that her only two romantic prospects are 1. Married to her cousin and 2. A douchebag vampire.
PEETA (who still has the sneaking around glitch) and HELENA (asleep in the background) got married and had a kid called Kip…
…Who is annoying but adorable.
HAYMITCH is still a total outcast and spends his time skulking around with a face like a slapped arse.
Though he HAS managed to bag himself a girlfriend. Don’t ask me how.
Unfortunately, he hasn’t quite grasped the idea of being nice to her.
Haymitch: You are such a LOSER. I can’t believe you don’t even have a baby yet. How the hell are we going to get on ‘16 and Pregnant’ now?
Helena: Awkward. Oh so awkward.
LEONIDAS finally reached the top of his career and achieved his LTW. When he’s not at work, he spends most of his time telling everyone pointless stories that no-one really cares about.
And finally… THE MAID is a lot more productive than the last few they’ve had. So much so that she can’t wait for people to get out of the beds before she makes them. :-/
Ooookay!
Now that’s out of the way, let’s get started…
I’ve only just discovered that Sims can slide down bannisters.
I know it’s childish but this is SO HILARIOUS to me.
Uhmmm. So, from bannister sliding to… death.
Skylar: Now?? There’d better be a bathroom where I’m going, or this could be a rather messy ordeal…
I’ve been expecting this for a while. Her life span bar thingy’s been full for ages. I’m not saying it’s about time but… well yeah, it is.
Everyone was obviously devastated.
Apart from Xena and Helena who opted for the ‘mildly upset’ expression.
Everyone: DOORBELLLLLLLLLLLL.
Rue: What insensitive soul would visit at a time like this?
None other than Mr Vampire Douchebag himself. AKA Edward Cullen. AKA Liam.
Liam: So… how’ve you been?
Rue: Oh, I’ve been fine, Liam. Just EXPLODING IN A FIT OF GRIEF-FUELLED RAGE RIGHT NOW.
Liam: Ewww, please don’t get your emotions too near to me.
And where was Peeta during this whole time?
Sobbing in the outside laundry room. Story of his life, let me tell you.
Wow, I feel like I should try to lighten the mood or something…
YOU’RE WELCOME.
I think this would be a good time to show you Haymitch’s new look.
I think he looks… lovely.
Haymitch: ARE YOU KIDDING. I LOOK GHASTLY.
Anywhoo, more important matters are at hand.
Peeta and his little family are moving to pastures new…
Or rather sneaking to pastures new :-/
Peeta: The ice cream truck turns up just as we’re leaving? What are the chances??
While we’re on the subject of the ice cream truck, my Sims have the annoying habit of taking their ice creams miles across town to eat them.
And they always end up sitting here. Obviously you can’t enjoy ice cream properly unless there’s a jet of water spraying in your face.
Oh yah, Haymitch had his first kiss with Yvette.
She went home straight after and who can blame her really when Haymitch was acting like a motherducking lunatic.
The next day, a funeral service was held for Skylar.
APOLLO <33333
Omg I miss him so much D:
Epitath reads “Skylar Staccato- BAMF with a quiff”
Skylar has to be my favourite founder I’ve ever had.
She was so much fun with her obsession with athletics, early morning dancing and Grim Reaper make out sessions.
She successfully reached her LTW of raising five children and frequently saved the family from fires. AND she put up with Harvey despite his alcoholic tendencies… and the fact he slept with his daughter in law… yeah.
SO… the family headed to the graveyard so I could place Skylar’s headstone.
Not a lot happened except for Xena sneaking around and scaring everyone…
Fast forward a couple of days and the family have moved yet again.
You wouldn’t guess it looking at this, but I actually tried to build a much smaller house.
It’s on a smaller lot and the rooms are more compact I guess. But from the outside it still looks like a frickin’ mansion.
(Oh yeah, I also used familyfunds to get rid of most of their money… I was sick of them being so rich aha)
First thing Haymitch does is set a booby trap in Rue’s sink.
I guess he’s finally rebelling after being ignored all these years.
Look who’s come to visit. Mr Vampire, all dressed up in his Sunday best.
God, I wish these two would make their minds up. One minute they hate each other, the next they can’t stop flirting.
Rue: Heheheee… Our star signs are compatible. That’s so… hot ;)
Liam: YEAH COMPATIBLE STAR SIGNS WOOOO.
Yeah, that’s real sexy Liam.
:-/
Haymitch ended up stealing Liam away from Rue with his ghost story shenanigans.
Haymitch: And then… HE TORE HER UTERUS OPEN WITH HIS TEETH.
Liam: THAT’S JUST SICK. SICK AND WRONG.
Rue: Listen here, that’s the last time you’ll abandon me to go and listen to my brother tell questionable stories.
Liam: Who are you, my mother??
*sigh*
YOUR MOOD SWINGS ARE GIVING ME WHIPLASH EDWARD LIAM.
Lolololol.
So, Haymitch’s new found rebellious streak is going well. Here he is sulking in time out.
I would love for someone to walk past and see this xD
While I was pointing and laughing at Haymitch, these two seem to have kicked it up a gear.
I considered cancelling the action but who am I to deprive them of what they clearly want? ;)
Rue: I must say… I’m disappointed. I was expecting your little friend to be less… little. If you catch my drift.
Liam: How dare you bring my little friend into this.
Liam: And FYI, I’ve seen other guys showering at the gym and I’m AT LEAST average. So there.
Rue: Now you’re telling me you watch other guys showering? Well, I’ve had it with you and your stupid plaid shirt. I’m pretty sure I can do better.
Rue: You don’t have to go home, but you have to get the hell away from my face.
Liam: FINE BY ME.
Liam: Catch ya later, sweet cheeks! ;)
And he pimp walked all the way home.
…Or at least out onto the landing.
Rue: BOO. BOO YOU.
Liam: Yep. She loves me.
There’s clearly something about Liam that just makes everyone want to cut a bitch.
Haymitch: You’re just so ANNOYING. With your shiny eyes and your white skin. UGH.
Liam: Okay little boy. Now I’ll eat this plasma fruit in front of you to remind you of the fact I’m a vampire and could quite easily crush your skull with my little finger.
Haymitch: Cool story bro. But you’re cutting into my ‘admiring myself in the mirror’ time.
Seriously. Every second of the day.
I really should put a mirror in his room…
Rue got a call from a stranger happily announcing his dog had given birth.
I sent her to his house with the intention of just looking at the cute little puppy…
And ended up buying this adorable fluff ball.
What convinced me? Her name’s Bellaboosh. BELLABOOSH. Best name ever.
Also she’s got a slightly crazed look in her eyes…
She’s SO ADORBS.
Her traits are clueless and piggy and I LOVE HER. <3
Her most hilarious habit is following Xena and Leo around while they’re trying to have some quality time together :’)
I’d sent Rue out somewhere and she hadn’t come back so I checked up on her and found her awkwardly sitting next to Liam at a café.
Rue: Look, I don’t want things to be weird between us okay?
Liam: What’s weird? I don’t feel weird. WHO SAID I FEEL WEIRD ABOUT THIS??
Rue: That’s um… good to know.
Of course, Rue chose this moment to reveal that she’s knocked up.
Impeccable timing, I must say.
And true to form, Liam poured his emotions into his music.
Liam: I call this one… THAT BITCH WHO RIPPED OUT MY HEART… but I’m totally fine about it…
BlueJacketMan: Oh my god it’s so sad.
My Sims take forever and a day to change into their maternity outfits. Once she finally had, she stood around for another hour or so with this disturbing expression on her face.
The next day, she met up with Hunter at the park.
And cousin Rodrick was there, doing what he does best.
Hunter: It’s over with Dalma. I finally realised that I’d gone and married the wrong Staccato. Stupid, I know.
Rue: Awwh, you really mean that?
Rodrick: That’s so sweet! You should totally kiss him now.
Rodrick: Guys… guys? I’m starting to get the feeling you’re ignoring me.
Rue: Now that Rodrick’s finally taken the hint and left us alone, I can say what I’ve been meaning to say. You’ve always been the one for me. Me and Liam were just a stupid fling. He’s never been right for me… But I just love Twilight so much it was hard not to fall for him y’know?
Rue: So, what do you say?
Hunter: …Yay! :3
Totally forgot about Xena’s birthday. :-/
Xena: *sigh* It’s gonna be all creaky joints and grey hair from here on in.
Xena: Kill me now.
Awwwh, I think she looks cute!
Leo obviously agrees.
(He spends most of his life scorched now fyi. Constantly having accidents with the chemistry set)
:-P
Meanwhile, Rue’s out questioning Hunter’s sister for a case.
I kinda get the feeling she doesn’t like Rue a lot.
Moira: I can’t believe you would just go running back to my brother after getting knocked up with another man’s child. And don’t even get me started on poor Dalma! She’s been a wreck since you stuck your nose in their relationship!
Rue: Well if she had just ASKED me before marrying him, this never would have happened!
Moira: HEY. That’s out of order, missy! They were happy before you came along, and now she’s on the phone every five minutes crying about how you ruined her life!
Rue: Well MAYBE she should stop crying and find herself another man. Incidentally, I know a charming vampire who’d probably go for anyone right now.
Hahaha, I love her.
After the argument, she just sits down and switches on the TV.
Moira: What the fuck does she think she’s doing?
And once again… IMPECCABLE timing.
Moira: You’d better get out! If Dalma calls and hears you, she’ll go batshit crazy!
She was taking SO LONG to get to the hospital so I cancelled the action and left her to have the baby in the middle of the wilderness with only this random girl to assist.
Bailey: Don’t panic, don’t panic. My cat just gave birth to a litter of kittens… how different can this really be?
Bailey: Okay, turns out it’s quite different actually. I’ll just go… and get help… *runrunrun*
Rue: Um… hello? Anyone?
Thank the lord. Help has finally arrived…
Ooooor maybe not.
See a woman on her own in labour… carry on running past. Yeah, that’s real nice dude.
Rue: Fuck this. I’ll walk to this hospital if it kills me.
After a veeeeery long walk and a (presumably painful) motorbike ride, she finally made it to the hospital.
And here’s the first baby of generation 4!
The naming theme this generation is musically inspired names. (I’m a classical musician/music teacher irl. Not really sure why that’s important but now you know.)
Anyway, this is Piper Staccato.
Loves the outdoors, slob. And yes, vampire. So much for not having any creepy vamp kids.
And this is part of the new nursery. BUTTERFLIES :D
The next day, Haymitch left pancakes in the oven and headed merrily off to school.
My first thought was ‘get Skylar to deal with it’ :(
Lucky I remembered to buy a smoke alarm.
But as we all know, the fire department are utterly useless so Rue and Xena ended up risking their lives instead.
Firewoman: Good morning madam. If you could step away from the fire and let the professionals deal with this…
Rue: Yeah, if we’d done that two hours ago we’d all be in deep shit right now.
Xena: Um, miss? I’m not trying to tell you how to do your job or anything, but I don’t think you’re meant to stand right in the middle of the fire…
Firewoman: I think you could be right there, madam. It’s a tad warm for my liking.
Firewoman: WAIT. DON’T MOVE. I swear I just saw a flame emerging from your ladyparts.
Xena: Well, you’re the professional… blast away.
Hunter turned up at the house later and instead of ringing the doorbell, he started to play piano instead.
Not taking tips from Edward Cullen I hope…
Hunter: Hey! So, my sister mentioned something about you birthing a vampire baby in her living room?
Rue: Oh right! Totally forgot to tell you… two seconds…
Rue: This is Piper!
Hunter: So, he’s like… an actual vampire then?
Rue: Well yeah.
Hunter: That’s… SO COOL.
Hunter: So are you ready for our date then? I put on my best clothes for it, as you can no doubt see.
Rue: Tonight’s been great…
Rue: Now, if you just try to ignore the crazy guy cackling behind us… I’ve got something to say.
Rue: I told you the other night how I feel about you and now I’d like to make it official. Marry me?
Wow. What a perfect, romantic moment…
Oh wait.
Proposing in front of the ex-boyfriend you’ve just had a baby with?
I’ll say it again… IMPECCABLE timing.
Liam: *yawn* Boooooring! Do you really think I’m even a little bit bothered by this? *dies inside*
Rue: Liam! Didn’t see you there! I guess you know already but I’M ENGAGED TO HUNTER!! Also, I had your baby yesterday… in case you were wondering.
Liam: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you came over here to tell me something interesting. Now if you’ll excuse me, I happen to be waiting for a date.
After Rue left, he stood there for a few hours and then went home looking pretty angry.
I almost feel sorry for him :(
Now... let’s end the update with a few shots from Rue’s bachelorette party…
I had to get rid of some CC because my game was lagging, so a few people have ended up looking a tad strange.
For example, this is Finnick.
And Peeta’s hair has gone :(
(Yes I did invite her brothers to her bachelorette party. I was trying to get the numbers up. Practically all of the girls Rue knows are her enemies haha)
:')
Until next time guys!
Thanks for reading as always :)
