The Nesbit Dynasty

[Beddy_Boop]

All I have to say is:

• Beta has a ginormous room!
• Too bad about the garden

[AriaGirl77]

Ha ha!  Beta is currently sleeping in the living room.  He's been bugging his parents about a room of his own, but right now they're saving up for another investment property.  Poor guy!  I'm sure when he is in charge he'll have his own room.

Oh, I thought the whole living room was his bedroom! Gotcha, now.

Awe man, pity about the meteor, but at least nobody was killed.
I too remember Mrs. Nesbit from Toy Story, that's the first thing I though when I first saw this dynasty.

So, AriaGirl, are all of your Sims blue?  Hehe.

I thought sure that meteor came down right on top of Alpha.  Man, what a mess!  And Amy is a hoot.  I've seen her around Twinbrook, but never played her and have never seen the rest of her crazy clothes.  Too funny!

[AriaGirl77]

Pam - I have 2 blue Legacies going, and then I also have a green one and a pink one.  Gotta mix it up a bit! 

Amy Bull is pretty hilarious.  I forgot to say, but after she aged up to adult I did pick up the Mid-Life Crisis reward.  So instead of clumsy, excitable, and absent-minded she's now virtuoso (for when I actually get a chance to fulfill her LTW of Master of the Arts), the sculpture one, and Lucky.  And her outfits are awesome!  I can't help but but wonder what her Elder outfits are like!  Plus I know she sometimes has cute kids.  In my Twinbrook Legacy I had one of my heirs marry a son of hers who had inherited her black/blue hair.  I was kind of hoping for a blue skinned blue haired sim, but maybe it'll skip a generation, who knows!

Maybe I'll have to do an Amy fashion show... hmmm....

After what seemed like YEARS of hard work, Alpha finally got promoted to 5 Star Chef!



Now it's time to really get down to business.  He set up his new Super Fridge, and got to work filling it up with all kinds of goodies.





Meanwhile, Amy made a bunch of ice chips the old fashioned way, and Beta made purdy pictures.



Until the day finally arrived for Beta's transition to his teen years.







So he may not win any beauty contests, but he's BLUE and that's really all that matters.

And this is pretty much what you'll find the family doing every day.  Each in their own separate corners skill up like mad!  It's pretty boring, but it's gotta be done.



When they're not working like crazy, Alpha will invite over his fellow foodies for some Trade Cooking Tips.  Which has paid off because he recently learned Ambrossia!  He's currently 6 days away from aging up to elder.  At this point he's maxed his career and thereby fulfilled his LTW, he's purchased 2 properties and bought all the necessary items to upgrade Elkhorn Fishing Park, he's purchased his 3 exclusive life time rewards, he's gained 6 best friends, and completed more than 6 opportunities, and he's had portraits painted of him for both his life stages.  All that he needs to do now is complete his last skill challenge (cook 75 meals, he's already cooked over 50) and age up to Elder and then he'll be ready!  But wait... he has to catch some Deathfish, and he hasn't even started fishing yet... Oy!  The good news is that now that he's a 5 Star Chef he only works 3 nights a week, so that gives him a lot of time to catch up on his other skills.  He should be able to do it, right?

Next up:  To Ambrossia or not to Ambrossia?  That is the question.  Oh, and we're gonna have an Amy Nesbit fashion show, just for kicks.

[simfulicious]

Oooh I wanna see the fashion show!  And it's nice to know that you can learn Ambrosia from cooking tips, instead of paying $12,000.

[Saltypaws]

Those screenies are so cool, good story so far.  I am really liking these stories.  Good job all.

[AriaGirl77]

Now it's time for the Amy (Bull) Nesbit fashion show!  Here she is in her colorful every day wear:



And what woman want's to work out without their animal hat?  Not I, says Amy.



Formal wear, the Amy way.  Watch out world!



This is the outfit she wears while using her chain saw on a block of ice, fetching, no?  She also wears it to bed at night.



And of course, swim wear. 



I've decided that it's probably time for Beta to have his own room.  So I built onto the side of the house and put in two bedrooms and a bathroom.



And Amy can now make ice sculptures that won't melt, so she's been busy carving away with her chain saw.

Alpha says, "Do we really have to do this now?  I'm HUNGRY!"



Amy says, "Yes we do!  I'm hungry too but you don't see me take a break!"



And of course Beta had his turn too, but no complaints from him.  He's obviously a bit tougher than his dear ol' dad.



I built a basement to become the family museum, here's what I've got so far:





And I did some landscaping to discretely hide the staircase, which is outside.



Next up, picking a girlfriend for Beta!

[AriaGirl77]

Seems like Beta doesn't have that many options in the girl department.  Poor guy!  But he ages up to Young Adult in just a few days so it's time to start thinking about it.

First up is Eliza Bollinger.  Beta met her in High School, but she's recently graduated so he'll need to wait a few more days to woo her.  So far we know that she can't stand art, and that she's flirty and family-oriented.  She's also quite pretty, at least I think so.



Next is the maid, Patty Bishop.  She's very pretty, with the workaholic, klepto, brave, and neat traits.  But she's an adult, which means there's gonna be quite an age difference, and she may be close to retirement, who knows?



Next is Corey Castor who is also a High School student, but dang she's ugly!  She carries the genius, born saleswoman, and unflirty traits.



Then there's Leann Pidgin, and let's just say Corey's got nothin' on her!  She seems to get along with Beta quite well though, they're High School friends.  She's excitable, over-emotional, loner and dare devil.  Quite a combo!

She looks ok here:



But then she turns her head, YIKES!



Mindy Medley might be an option too.  She's pretty, but I have no idea how old she is.  She's handy, excitable, couch potato, and a dare devil.



Keep in mind, Beta's not exactly the most handsome guy on the block, so perhaps it's fitting he takes a homely wife.  But I'd kind of like to improve on the gene pool rather than pollute it, I'm gonna be lookin' at their kids forever!

So which girl do you think is right for Beta??

[simfulicious]

The first one is very pretty, but if she hates art, won't that be a problem?  So I would say the maid.

[Metropolis Man]

There's something about Mindy. Her jaw in the second photo looks larger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. Yeah, that must be it. My Manly opinion says Eliza's new favorite color will be blue.

[LlamaMama]

I can't believe I've missed the Amy Bull Dynasty! You know how much I love her! I've been planning to set my dynasty in Twinbrook, if I ever make one, so it's especially fun to watch yours unfold. Blue. Gotta love it!

Dang, you people have trouble with those meteors!

[Pam]

I laughed out loud more than once while reading this, Aria!  Amy with the animal hat!  I just wasn't expecting that. 

I just added a basement to my Dynasty house, too.  I found an easy way to have the stairs indoors.  I'd read it before, but never did it.  I put the stairs close to the house, but outside.  Then I drew a foundation around them and all the way to the rest of the house.  It left a cut out hole for the stairs as easy as can be.  Then I put in a little set of three stairs and it was perfect.  Built the walls around it and it's done.

I think probably Eliza for Beta's wife.  Not the maid because they are always too pretty.  Better a real townie, I think.  Her Can't Stand Art trait probably won't be much of a problem and the Family Oriented will be good.
