Chapter 15: Four Birthdays and a Funeral We open this update with a BANG! It's our Whiz Kid working on his aspiration.
"Attention everybody!"
"I am well over 140 days old and I guess it's time for me to pass on the Blue legacy to my lovely, blue son Azure."
Azure is not quite ready let his beloved mama go, so he pleads for her life.
But the Grim Reaper is relentless. It's really time to bid farewell to Celia Blue.
She led a full sim life and laid a solid foundation to the Blue legacy: gave birth to three children, completed two aspirations, maxed four skills, wrote the biographies of all the family members who have lived in the Blue household so far. The one thing she did not achieve was to reach the top of the Writer career. This was because of an ill timed submitting of a book to Literary Digests when she was at level 8 of her career.
The Grimmie gets what he deserves!
He then stays around for a while to watch some horror movies.
The legacy graveyard is now the final resting place for my founders. RIP Celia and Pelham.
Azure has always been mama's boy and naturally he is devastated. "Do I have to sleep beside my wife now, mama, buhuu..."
Bright has always kept to his own bed, but he still misses his grandma.
The family is still in mourning and does not feel up to having a party, so they celebrate Bridgette's birthday quietly among themselves. Well, maybe not so quietly after all - just look at Willow and Azure posing in the background!
Bridgette takes after her beautiful mother, but her traits are horrible: Slob and Insane. She wants to be Freelance Botanist.
Bridgette was a super kid: she is the first child in my game to both earn a 'A' at school and complete her childhood aspiration. In fact she managed to complete two aspirations: first she became Social Butterfly and then, in the nick of time, managed to maximize her Creativity skill and become Artistic Prodigy
No words...
Auzre reaches the top of the Tech Guru career and becomes a Start Up Genius. For his efforts he receives this magnificent Plasmatron 3000 Flat Screen TV. I hope he is happy with it and stops "Complaining about the TV".
Brooklynn Landgraab came around. At first I thought she autonomously combusted, but it turned out that it was her birthday. She is a teen, but has already gone grey.
The birthdays continue: Willow turns adult.
In my games I like to uphold family ties with family members outside the direct legacy, dynasty or whatever line. So Azure's family has close contacts with both Alena's and Anaya's households. Today they visit the Landgraabs in Oasis Springs. On their way there, they made a detour to the Goths and picked Alena, Beatriz and Brenton along.
Miguel Landgraab helps his cousin Bright with the Whiz Kid aspiration.
Bright got also to eat his favourite dish, hamburgers, yummy.
On a girl's night out Bridgette takes Brooklynn and Beatriz ...
... to the gym! All the birthday cakes and their excess calories have been stored on Bridgette's hips and belly. Working out is so much more fun with some friends (love the multitasking!) and so much more effective with a fearsome personal trainer by your side.
I think you have only seen Breanna with her cap on, but she has Minnie Mouse hair underneath.
And now that you have seen her hair, it is time for her to grow up.
Azure should not touch that chocolate cake - those running shorts with that belly are not sexy.
Whoa, if Azure looks a bit pudgy above, what do think of Breanna!?!
I don't know what this glitch is, but now I like it. I took Breanna to the dresser to plan her outfit, and on her way there she magically lost like 50 kilos! This happened previously to Beatriz when she became freakishly thin after her birthday, but now Breanna gained a very attractive figure.
Breanna completed her childhood aspiration (Rambunctious Scamp), but unfortunately she now rolled an aspiration which she, as a spare, cannot fulfill: Big Happy Family. Her traits are Art Lover and Loves the Outdoors, so she'll be the painter of this generation.
