A Sharebear Legacy: Please Graveyard

[sdhoey]

ROTFL!! Oh the love of tots. That was great.
*sniff* Not my spud. Grim is mean for taking him. He was the best.

I'm loving your vamp.

[MarianT]

Lisee's vamp form is great, and the twins are adorable, even if Rileen needs speech therapy.

[GlazeyLady]

So sad that Spodluck's time has come, but it's great that Lissee will be around for the long haul!  Love the Spooky parties.  And your dialogue is so much fun . . . ice cream or felony . . . such a difficult decision! 

[oshizu]

Two updates, lucky me!
At Pan Europa when Card is dancing with his back dancers, who is the girl with red roses in her black hair?
Oooh, the passing of the second-generation heir! *sniffle, sniffle
Rest in peace, Spodluck!

By the way, did you move Tanvi into a house by herself? How many children did she have, anyway? LOL.
Haha, you love Lisee so much that you've made her the Guardian Angel Vampire of your legacy!
Awww, Rilan and Rileen are so adorable! 
And how are you enjoying Short Lifespan, Pippin?

[BallerinaHippo]

*quietly slips Rilan a piece of gum*

I'm so glad Lisee is one of your favorites because it means we get to see more of her!  The other angels are great, too.  The dance party scene was perfect.  I forgot that Card was in the culinary career until he showed up in his work outfit.  Too bad that "Professional Party Planner" isn't a Sims career.

It's sad to see Tanvi's husband Spodluck go.  He always made me think of "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog", particularly the lyric never understood a single word he said...

[PeregrineTook]

ROTFL!! Oh the love of tots. That was great.
*sniff* Not my spud. Grim is mean for taking him. He was the best.

I'm loving your vamp.

Yeah, Spodluck was pretty fantastic, but short lifespan means less time with these awesome Sims.  Well, except for my adorable Lisee.  We get all sorts of additional time with my little vamp!

Lisee's vamp form is great, and the twins are adorable, even if Rileen needs speech therapy.

Yeah, I was quite pleasantly surprised at Lisee's glorious auto-selected vamp form, so I changed nothing.  She is perfection!
I've really (Rilee) enjoyed these twins.  I kind of have a tendency to ignore toddlerhood as the annoying stage before they become children and can then actually do more stuff, but I've actually enjoyed toddlerhood with these two.

So sad that Spodluck's time has come, but it's great that Lissee will be around for the long haul!  Love the Spooky parties.  And your dialogue is so much fun . . . ice cream or felony . . . such a difficult decision! 

My daughter helped me out with the ice cream or a felony line.  There are sprinklings of her influence throughout much of my writing.
Spooky parties are my favorite!  The costumes are super fun, but it's also really easy and low-maintenance in terms of getting the gold.

Two updates, lucky me!

Awww, Rilan and Rileen are so adorable! 
And how are you enjoying Short Lifespan, Pippin?

Red roses in black hair is Eris, Ozbeth's daughter.  She's the sensible Angel  ;=)  She gets a little less screentime since she's knocking out all the cooking skills (and only has mixology left to go).
Yes, Lisee is the Guardian Angle since she's one of Cardlie's Angels.  It totally fits!!
Short lifespan is more challenging, but I think Lisee's immortality will be a helpful loophole.

*quietly slips Rilan a piece of gum*

I'm so glad Lisee is one of your favorites because it means we get to see more of her!  The other angels are great, too.  The dance party scene was perfect.  I forgot that Card was in the culinary career until he showed up in his work outfit.  Too bad that "Professional Party Planner" isn't a Sims career.

It's sad to see Tanvi's husband Spodluck go.  He always made me think of "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog", particularly the lyric never understood a singe word he said...

Yeah, the culinary career does not create amazing screenshots, so Eris and Card don't get that many skilling/work related shots in the updates.  Professional party planner should totally become a new active career!!  Are you listening, EA?  Do you see this clever idea?
Yeah, Spodluck was wonderful and will be missed.  Never understood a single word he said.  Perfect eulogy right there.

[PeregrineTook]

Shaken.  Shaken to your very core.  The moments when everything is collapsing we refer to as things being shaken up.  Indeed, it shall be a challenge for this household to recover from being shaken.
Rileen:  Sheky sheky sheky!!



Pippin:  Yeah, sorry Narrator.  I don't think that Rileen shaking her groove thang is quite the catastrophic event you were trying to lead us into.  In fact, the household is very peaceful and focused in on skilling. 



Pippin:  Rileen is getting in some time listening to her favorite auntie mastering the guitar.
Rileen:  Time to cean gishes.
Tanvi:  Oh, I'll clean that for you, sweetie!
Pippin:  Tanvi, you're the best non-household sim ever!
Tanvi:  That's probably true.



Pippin:  Meantime, Rilan gets in some time watching his mom. 
Rilan:  Me watching.  Watchingwatchingwatching!
Jaxlyn:  Someday, dear, you're going to make some lucky girl very, very uncomfortable.
Pippin:  ...but later, Rilan shifts his attention...
Rilan:   Watchingwatchingwatching!



Pippin:  to watching Eris making birthday cakes.
Card:  Woot!  Let's get another gold medal!!
Pippin:  Yep, birthday party time for the twins!  First to the cake...



Pippin:  is Rilan!
Ablowitz:  He doesn't have my hair anymore.
Rilan:  Nope!  Sorry, dude.  But let's face it, I make this hair look goooooooood!
Jaxlyn:  Eh, it'd look better on me.
Card:  Honey, that might be true, but let's be supportive of our little guy.
Jaxlyn:  (sigh) Fine.  You look mildly adequate with that hair.
Rilan:  Oh.  Thanks.  I guess.
Jaylan:  You're welcome!  Woot!  Nailing this whole "mom" thing!!
Pippin and Card:  (facepalm)



Card:  I'd like to make a toast to my son!
Rilan:  Can I have jelly on mine?
Card:  On your what?
Rilan:  Toast.
Pippin:  (facepalm)  And after achieving gold on that party, we shift our focus to the little princess.



Card:  She's apparently Princess Briar Rose.
Pippin:  Wha...Oh!  Sleeping Beauty.  Good one!  But seriously, can you wake her up so we can have this party?



Pippin:  And after a trip to the cake...



Rileen:  Gwandma!  I'm a big giww!!
Tanvi:  Oh, sweetie, you've grown up so very lovely!
Pippin:  Ummm, why didn't her "R's" and "L's" age up?
Jaxlyn:  No, Pippin, be supportive.  Your speech thingy isn't too obnoxious, dear.
Rileen:  Wow, thanks a wot, mom.
Jaxlyn:  Yes!  Best parent EVER!
Pippin:  (facepalm) Anyway, the Angels decided to celebrate by doing their usual routines...



Pippin:  like gathering posters, rummaging for snow globes, and chatting up the occasional Sim to see if a secondary spouse should be brought in to help quickly max a career.
Eris:  Oh, you're a mixologist.  How nice to know.  You may leave now.  Bye bye.
Pippin:  But the littlest Angel turned her attention to other things...



Pippin:  such as vampire training.
Lisee:  And dinner!!
Eris:  Oh.  Umm, we should probably go before someone notices the unconscious girl?
Jaxlyn:  Hey look, everybody!  I found an unconscious girl!
Eris:  (facepalm)
Pippin:  Meantime, both of the twins ended up randomly rolling the Whiz Kid aspiration, so we head to the park for some chess time.



Rilan:  Nice costume!
Cosplay Leia:  Thank you!
Rilan:  I mean, I just can't stop checking out your buns.  Wait!  No!  I meant...your hair!!  I didn't mean...
Cosplay Leia:  Hahaha, I knew what you meant.  By the way, checkmate.
Rilan:   ...oh.



Rileen:  Wooks wike my wosew bwothew is having a pwivate Pwincess Weia convention!
Ozbeth:  I...I don't know what you said...
Rileen:  (sigh)
Pippin:  And while they were at the park, someone caught young Rilan's eye.



Rilan:  She's...she looks so...and she's...Rileen?  Will you go talk to her for me?
Rileen:  Wosew.



Rileen:  Hi, I'm Wiween.
Rania:  Wiween?
Rileen:  No.  Wi-ween.
Rania:  ...Rileen?
Rileen:  Yes, exactwy! 
Rania:  Hey, Rileen, I'm Rania.
Rileen:  Hey, Wania.  That wosew ovew thewe is my bwotehw and he thinks you'we aww wovewy ow whatevew.
Rania:  ...okay...?
Rileen:  Wiwan!  Come hewe!



Rilan:  What?  Oh.  Hi?  Were you guys...did you...speak of me?
Rania:  Ummm, are you the loser brother?
Rilan:  (glares) Thanks, sis.
Rileen:  You didn't teww me what to say, so I impwovised!
Chandler:  Hi, I'm your cousin.  Ablowitz' daughter?  Notice me?  Please?
Pippin:  And as we move away from these three kiddos in the park...
Chandler:  (sigh)
Pippin:  we head home for another spooky party!



Pippin:  Hmmm, seemed like the fairy costume was super popular that time around!
Rileen:  Wike the Faiwy costume they did!
Pippin:  Rileen, were you dressed as Yoda?
Rileen:  How did you guess?
Pippin:  ...I'm...just really insightful.
Ghost of Rilee:  Rilee insightful!
Pippin:  And speaking of insight...



Pippin:  Jaxlyn has been gaining insight into the rocket science skill!
Jaxlyn:  That's one small step for Sims, one giant stomp on the throat of my enemies for me!!
Pippin:  ...I....don't think that's how that quote goes...but speaking of traveling, the household heads out later for an outing to some karaoke place that I forget the name of and the twins completely ignore it in favor of the basketball court.



Rileen:  Umm, what awe you doing, wosew?
Rilan:  I'm practicing shooting!
Rileen:  You don't even have the baww!
Rilan:  It's all mental.
Rileen:  Mowe wike you've gone mentaw!



Pippin:  Umm, Lisee?
Lisee:  What?  She asked if I wanted a drink!
Pippin:  I don't think that's what she meant.
Jaxlyn:  It's her own fault for not speaking more clearly.
Eris:  The logic is flawed, but it's still logic.
Pippin:  (facepalm)  And we move on to another karaoke location where Rileen discovers...



Rileen:  Kawaoke is wadicaw!!
Pippin:  And where Rilan discovers...



Rilan:  You...you're...
Raina:  Yeah, I'm a teen now.
Rilan:  You look...and your face...because you have...and they're...
Pippin:  (facepalm) He is a smooth-talker, that one.  And with that, we bid adieu to the Sharebear family.  Next time, the twins become teens!
Rileen:  Get weady, wowwd!
Rilan:  I'll be a teen just like Raina (wistful sigh).

[oshizu]

Was that Tanvi in the cheerleader outfit? I was shocked at how young she looked there.
How many little Spod/Tanvi spawn are out there, anyway?
Ablowitz is looking good--he really resembles Papa Spodluck a lot.

Lol, Rileen isn't doing her brother any favors in the social arena!
Not sure if the wowwd is weady for those twins as teens but I'm dying to meet them as high schoolers!

Yep, Tanvi and Ablowitz both showed up as cheerleaders for one of the spooky parties.  Tanvi and Spodluck had seven children counting Card and Ablowitz.
I really have enjoyed the sibling dynamic with the Rils more than I have with the other sibling pairings thus far.  And good news, you're about to meet them as teens!

[PeregrineTook]

Alone in a world of strangers, two young Sims set out on a journey so arduous and challenging that it could only be described as..



Rileen:  Schoow.
Rilan:  Yep, just going to school, narrator.  It's really not that bad.
Ghost of Rilee:  Rilee not that bad!!
Pippin:  But what is bad is that this Watcher misunderstood how scoring for skills work.  You get a point every time a skill is maxed.  Several Sims have passed away in this household with skills in the 8 or 9 area but left unfinished since other sims had already completed them.  Since oshizu clarified for me, we celebrate...



Pippin:  with a home dance party!!
Card:  Because dance is an easy skill to max!
Lisee:  And 'cause we've got mad crazy moves for days!
Eris:  Yeah we do!!
Pippin:  And after a stressful day at school...



Pippin:  Rilan joins in the fun.
Rilan:  Maybe Raina will be impressed with my dancing skills!
Pippin:  And Rileen turns her attention...



Pippin:  to science!
Rileen:  Woot!  Pywotechnics!  This wiww wook coow next time I'm doing kawaoke!!
Pippin:  But we can't expect our potential heirs to do nothing but skilling, so we head out for a day at the park!
Rilan:  (gasp) Who is that?!?!?



Rilan:  Rilan I are and you be have name?
Maja:  Hmm, I feel like it's trying to communicate with me...
Pippin:  And meantime, young Maja's twin brother was meeting our darling Rileen.



Rileen:  Hewwo.  Awe you that dumb giww's dumb bwothew?  She's cuwwentwy talking to my dumb bwothew.
Magnus:  You're so beautiful!
Rileen:  Psh, shut up, wosew!  You'we dumb!  Wanna pway on the piwate ship?
Magnus:  Okay.  I'm Magnus, by the way.
Rileen:  Whatevew, Magnet.  (leaves)
Mangus:  Mangus.  It's Magnus.
Pippin:  And adorable family time ensues.



Jaxlyn:  RAWR!!  I'm the scary monster that eats little boys who break my baby's heart!
Magnus:  (gulp)
Rileen:  Oh, mom, you'we so accuwate!
Pippin:  And we head home where Rilan...



Pippin:  gets a bit overwhelmed.
Rilan:  She's...but also she's...whereas she...but she...
Maja:  Who's she?
Raia:  The girl who was here first.
Rileen:  Weww, she does have a point.  Go deaw with youw pwobwem, wosew (click).
Rialn:  Did you just lock me out?  Rileen?  (knocks) Anyone?  (knocks harder) Hello?  (gulp)



Rilan:  So...the legacy...I have to...one of you...you're both so...
Maja:  Has he ever completed a sentence with you?
Raina:  Never.  You?
Maja:  I got a string of words together once, but hardly a sentence.  Love your hair, by the way.
Raina:  Aww, thanks!  And your piggy tail look is super cute!
Maja:  Aww, thanks!
Rilan:  ...so when the...because we could...I mean...if you wanted...
Raina:  Well, it seems like he'll be rambling for a while.  Wanna stargaze?
Maja:  I'd love to!
Pippin:  This is going well.
Rilan:  ...because...if you both...but probably not...
Pippin:  Meantime, inside the house...



Card:  Boom!  That's how you max mixology with flair!!
Pippin:  But even as we gained the point for maxing mixology, we also suffered loss.



Rilan:  As in the loss of my childhood!!  Woot!  Look who's a teen now!
Jaxlyn:  Your dad looks better with that hair.
Rilan:  (sigh) I know.
Rileen:  Kawaoke time!! 
Rilan:  Don't mind if I do!
Maja:  Me too!!



Pippin:  Aww, look how cute they are!
Raina:  Yeah, we're all pretty adorable.
Rileen:  And weiwd.
Pippin:  And we earned a gold medal for Rilan's birthday, but strangely, Rileen's birthday was still a day away.  They're twins, but they age glitched when they became children and he ended up a day older than her.  Conveniently, this gave her time to get an A in elementary school and max Whiz Kid while he ended with a high B and missed out.
Rileen:   Wosew.
Pippin:  And next for the loser...I mean...Rilan was a makeover!



Rilan:  Oh yeah!  This looks awesome!  Maja and Raina are so gonna dig me!!
Pippin:  But which one will you choose?
Rilan:  Hmmm, what do you think, auntie Oz?
Ozbeth:  Hmmm, well, if you kill one, you won't have to decide, but just to be on the safe side, I'd kill them both.
Rilan:  ...ummm...thanks?
Ozbeth:  Alright, Ozbeth, out!
Pippin:  Oz, no!!!



Pippin:  Pay attention to your skilling!  Don't get sad moodlets!!  Rilan, read that herbalism book for your Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration!
Grim:  Ozbeth, you helped me get raises and promoted.  I have set you up with the swankiest suite in the afterlife.
Ozbeth:   Aww, thanks, Mistah G!
Pippin:  Ozbeth completed 9 of the 10 deaths for the household, mothered the amazing Eris, and has been a constant help.  You will be missed.
The Entire Household:  We have such sad moodlets now!!!



Eris:  So, uh, guess I'll use grandma's clone machine to make...another useless cube.  Dang it!
Pippin:  Eventually, Eris outfitted the whole family with moodlet solvers.  And the next day, this happened.



Lisee:  Tanvi!  NOOOOO!!!!
Pippin:  Tanvi Ramesh-Sharebear, you've been a rock steady backbone for this household giving guidance while quietly cleaning up and repairing everything and have helped make each party a success.  You will be horribly missed.
Eris:  (sigh) I'll go make more moodlet solvers.
Pippin:  And shortly thereafter, Rileen, who should have been at school for another half hour, was whisked home for...



Rileen:  Whoa!!  Pippin, I feew weiwd!
Pippin:  Rileen!!  You're a teen!  But you still got your A and maxed Whiz Kid!
Rileen:  Gweat.  Can I go take a showew now?
Pippin:  Oh.  Yes.  But then it's makeover time!
Rileen:  Deaw.  Hmm, seems wike aging up sowved my speech pwobwem!
Pippin:  ...sure...anyway, post-makeover...



Pippin:  you look so great!
Rileen:  I'm so sad.
Eris:  Here's a moodlet solver.
Pippin:  And Rileen got right into working on her musical genius aspiration.



Lisee:  Let's jam, Ril!
Rileen:  Yeah, wet's wock out!
Pippin:  And since we missed having a birthday party, we have a dinner party and...



Rilan:  You...ah...heh...uh...I...uh...
Pippin:  Rilan practiced his smooth talk.  At any rate, we are now just about to heir vote time as we've gone oh-so-very quickly from here...



Pippin:  to here.



Pippin:  One more update, and the voting shall commence!
Rilan:  Vote for me!
Rileen:  Unwess you don't want a wosew.

[oshizu]

Rilan and Rileen are both gorgeous! The Faust genes are strong, don't you think?
Love Rileen's makeover! Still, I'm hoping she eventually learns how to say their founder's name right.

Barring a horrid third trait, I might have already decided my team affiliation...
By the way, is Raina a backup plan in case Maja doesn't age up with 3 unique traits?
Or is Rilan planning to do the 10-kids-in-one-gen thing with two baby mamas?

And just to clarify, you don't earn a point for every skill maxed; however, each maxed skill (unique or not) counts toward your total.
Maxed 55 skills/7th point
Maxed 89 skills/8th point
Maxed 144 skills/9th point
I don't think I would have survived my first legacy without HillieE's scoresheet. Tallying everything by hand must be time-consuming.

Rest in peace, Ozbeth and Tanvi! The second generation is all but gone now... *sniffle, sniffle
Looking forward to hearing all about your twins in the upcoming heir vote update!!!

Yes, that's what I meant about the point thing.  Thanks for clarifying in case I misled anyone (insert blushing face here).
Yeah, it was really sad to lose Tanvi and Ozbeth.  They were both such great characters and did so much for the household even after they'd moved out.
Well, you're about to find out if your team affiliation holds up and you're about to find out Rilan's plans for the girls too  ;=)

[PeregrineTook]

Under the watchful eye, Sims do as they are bid, but if no one was watching...



Lisee:  Woot!  Lookin' good, Jax!
Jaxlyn:  Yeah, this is my formal wear.  For some reason, Pippin never lets me wear it.
Lisee:  Weird.
...
Lisee:  Shouldn't Pippin be defending himself right about now?
Jaxlyn:  ...that does seem like what should be happening.  What if something's happened to him...ah well!  Time for work!
Lisee:  Yeah, the strange lack of a Watcher should be fine.  I mean, Eris is here to keep an eye on things.



Eris:  Yeah, I can keep an eye on everything near the mixology bar.



Eris:  Umm, what are you doing, Rilan?
Rilan:  Just watching you.
Eris:  ...so creepy.
Magnus:  Hey, sis!  My beloved Rileen is learning to play violin, so I'm learning to dance!  We'll be the perfect duo!
Maja:  You know she thinks you're a ridiculous moron, right?
Magnus:  Yep!
Maja:  ...okay...



Violin:  screech screech screeeeeeeeeech
Rileen:  Ugh.  Weww, I'm getting way cwosew to things that sound wike notes.
And eventually, all good things must come to an end...which in this case, means the Jensens and Raina head home, but the next day...



Rilan:  Growed with the upping more you did!  Liking the find you my eyes are!
Maja:  Ummm, yeah?  I aged up?
Raina:  Pretty sure he complimented you too.
Maja:  ...thanks?
Rilan:  I are having like looking find you!
Raina:  And maybe she's about due for a makeover?
Rilan:  Oh, finding the look I am for liking but have you want yes.
Magnus:  So, Rileen, notice anything different about me?



Rileen:  Youw pants awe too showt now?
Magnus:  I...
Rileen:  Oh, hang on, Magnet, I'm about to beat this wevew of Angwy Biwds!
Magnus:  ...Magnus.  It's Magnus.
Helga:  Alright, you young'uns!  No funny business on my watch!
Maja:  Ugh, my mom's so embarrassing!
Raina:  I go this.



Raina:  Mrs. Jensen!  You're even lovelier than Maja had said!
Helga:  Oh, you're so sweet!  You must be that Raina girl that my little Majie-pie is always going on about.
Raina:  Yep, that's me!  So, ma'am, would you mind terribly if I took your little Majie-pie somewhere to give her a makeover to more effectively show off that beauty that she obviously inherited from you?
Helga:  Oh, aren't you just the sweetest thing?  Of course you may!
Raina:  Thanks!
And so, our intrepid troupe traverses to the faraway fashion foundry known as...



the Sharebear homestead.
Magnus:  You're so lovely, Rileen!
Rileen:  Ewww, you'we gwoss!!  I'm gonna go pwactice viowin.
Magnus:  You amaze me, my muse!
Rileen:  No, mowon, a Muse inspiwes the awtist, I am the awtist.
Magnus:  (facepalm) Dang it!  She will be mine.  She will love me. 
Rileen:  ...you know I can stiww hear you, wight?
Magnus:  ...no...



Rilan:  Stepping the closet in for changing you be!
Maja:  Promise you won't peek?
Rilan:  Heart my crossing be!
Maja:  Okay...



Maja:  So...whatdya think?
Rilan:  Heart my beating faster is!  Lovely you be!
Maja:  Aww, thanks!
Eris:  Umm, kids?  It should be about heir vote time, but Pippin is missing.
Rileen:  So, how do we handwe that?
Eris:  (sigh) Lisee had his address.  Just follow these directions.
Rileen:  Shouldn't thewe be a Counciw?
Rilan:  Shouldn't we be magically summoned?
Eris:  Apparently not.  Off you go.  No missed heir votes on my watch!
Rilan and Rileen:  (leave in confusion)



Rileen:  This just wooks wike a weguwaw house.
Rilan:  Right?  I mean, dad told us those stories about the Council and the raised dais and how formal it felt.  This is just...normal.  Disappointingly normal.
Rileen:  Weww, wet's go knock.



Izumi:  Oh, hi kids!  Is it heir vote time already?  Hang on, I'll go get Pippin.
Rileen:  Who's that?
Rilan:  So pretty she be!
Rileen:  (facepawm)
Pippin:  (from the next room) Sweetie?  Was that the pizza?
Izumi:  No, loverkins.  It's the Sharebear twins.
Pippin:  Wha...OH!!  Heir vote time!!  Sorry, I was...distracted.



Pippin:  So, welcome to my home!
Jimin:  Daddy?  We wead stowy now?
Pippin:  Just let Daddy have a little chat with his friends first, then we'll read.
Jimin:  K.
Pippin:  Would you be a big helper and go make sure Perdita's okay?
Jimin:  K!  Me good hewpew!
Rileen:  I wike hew.  She makes a wot of sense.
Izumi:  Sweetie?  You're still in your jammies...?
Pippin:  Wha...OH!!  (changes)



Pippin:  So, let's all sit and chat by the fireplace and you can tell the readers why you'd be the best choice for heir.
Rilan:  I don't mean any disrespect, sir, but isn't there supposed to be a Council and a formal setting and such?
Pippin:  Oh, yeah, we used to do that, but we decided to let the Council thing go on hiatus.  Besides, I needed more time with Izzy and the girls.
Izumi:  Oh, sweetie!
Rileen:  That's womantic.
Pippin:  Thanks!
Rileen:  It wasn't a compwiment, just an obsewvation.
Pippin:  ...okay, we'll start with Rilan.
Izumi:  So, Rilan, why should you be chosen as heir?



Rilan:  Heh, girl be pretty and speak to me from her face that are pretty.
Pippin:  I'll take this one, dear.  Rilan, why should you be chosen as heir?
Rilan:  Well, Pippin, I'm going for the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration and you haven't bought the Seasons expansion yet, so it's probably a good idea to do that before seasonal issues make it harder.  Additionally, I'm a lazy, goofball, foodie.  Lazy isn't the greatest, but foodie is ideal since we still haven't done the pictures of experimental food collection.  And goofball.  I'm a delight!
Pippin:  So, you seem torn between Maja and Raina.  Who are you thinking would be the next Mrs. Sharebear?



Rilan:  Both of them!!  I mean, primary and secondary spouses is totally a thing in legacies and they're both beautiful and they like me and they get along really well.
Pippin:  I...that's not how...
Izumi:  Well, sweetie, we still need a single Sim to get both the Soulmate and Serial Romantic aspirations, so maybe Rilan's our guy?
Rilan:  She say I be her guy.
Pippin:  No.  I'm her guy.
Izumi:  Okay, let's chat with Rileen.  Why should the voters pick you?



Rileen:  Weww, I pway music, so I pwan to max the viowin, guitaw, piano, and pipe owgan.  That's fouw skills wight thewe and they'ww awe go awong with my caweew as an entewtainew.  My wosew bwothew wiww onwy be maxing two skiwws with his Outdoow Enthusiast aspiwation and neithew of those go with a caweew.  In fact, he hasn't even chosen a caweew yet!
Pippin:  Fair enough, but now we turn our focus to romance.
Rileen:  Ewww...
Pippin:  Your current traits are dog lover and foodie, but you'll be adding jealous at your young adult birthday.  Assuming you marry Magnus, how do you see that impacting the legacy household?



Rileen:  Magnus?  Who's Magnus?
Izumi:  Magnet.
Rileen: Oh, that wosew.  Yeah, I guess he'ww do.  Wait, awe you asking because somebody ewse wikes him?  Who's muscwing in?  That wosew wikes me!
Pippin:  And I think that answers that.  And so we turn to you, dear readers.  Who will be our next heir?

Oh wait, Raina led Maja to the Fashion Foundry....does that mean that Raina lives in the Sharebear household already?
I guess it does.

I guessed that Izumi would again appear with Pippin the Watcher in the heir vote update.
But Pippin sim, you dawg! You and Izumi have had babies!?!?! rofl

I was going to vote for Rilan based solely on the fact that I could understand his speech, but now I'm stumped.
Based on looks alone, Rileen is the better-looking sim. Hmmmmm, hmmmm.
While I'm rethinking my vote, could you please share the traits so far of Maja (pronounced Maya as in Mayans/Incas) and Magnus?
I'd just like to get a better sense of which pair would make a better power couple.

Brilliant idea to do Outdoor Enthusiast first in case you decide to get Seasons at a later date.
Even with Seasons, that aspiration is entirely do-able if a sim isn't squeamish, starts in spring but summer is best, and doesn't have the Never Weary trait.
I'm assuming vampires can't sleep in a tent.

Good luck to both heirs!

I'm on team Rilan!
