The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 3.2: A Wedding And No Funeral

Zara: What is inside here? I’ve always wondered.



Tina: Ooh! My back!
Zara: Why didn’t you wait until after the ceremony?
Tina: My bar was bubbling and I didn’t want to age in front of all the guests. Thanks for making both cakes.
Zara: That’s OK. Is Collin ready to age up?
Tina: Yes he is but if he sees the cake first, he’ll just eat it.
Zara: Good point.



Tina: Do you mind that I’m an old woman now?
Collin: I’ve always loved you, Tina. You’ll always be gorgeous to me.
Tina: Good Old Collin!
Collin: Now! Where are these cakes?



Tina: Hmm! Breakfast reality! I’d forgotten about your eating habits! Do you have to guzzle your food like that?
Collin: Always have! Always will!
Tina: I guess you put up with my flirting…
Collin: I love your flirting! (winking). We were too tired last night. What about a morning “nap”?
Tina: Oh yes! A morning “nap” is just what I need. And then maybe we can have a bit of a makeover.



Michaela: All Gone. Shape Here. Shape There.



Michaela: Love You!
Mr Big Paws: I will rule this house!

[oshizu]

As usual, you are positively zooming along, Watcher!
Ooooh, the long wait until Tina and Collin could fiiiiiiinally get married!
I'm happy to see that Michaela won't be an only child!

[Granny Lawlor]

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 3.3: And Then There Were Five

Zara: You might have seen from the last family photo – I’m expecting again. Robi actually wants a cat but I wanted another child and he couldn’t say no to me. In fact I was really pregnant in that photo. I “popped” the very next day. Poor Robi was so tired he fell asleep at the hospital. Anyway little Albert was born. I’m not making any mistakes with this one. He’s named for Albert Einstein and he will love science as much as me!



Zara: It’s great not being pregnant any more. I can return to space – my 2nd home, I call it. I had a bit of space madness this day – oh that was a close one!



Zara: Michaela continues to spend as much time as possible outside. She was a wild toddler and now look at her! I keep telling her she’ll make a great astronaut but she just shrugs!



Zara: Finally – my last alien for my 2nd collection. I need to study the skies a bit now to get all the space prints that I can find. I just love space!



Tina: No! No! No! Collin!
Grim: SORRY
Tina: But we had so little time together.
Grim: HIS TIME IS UP
Zara: This is so awful!

Notes

To get a cat or not to get a cat? That is the question. Robi is definitely a cat-lover… Maybe when toddler Albert is a bit older.

Whoa, what is with the crystals? Can you plant them? 

[Granny Lawlor]

Whoa, what is with the crystals? Can you plant them? 

I had to scan back to see what you were seeing! lol. The crystals by the space ship, right? They're the 4 different sizes of space rock that you randomly get if you Explore Space. I like displaying them near rockets. It would be really cool if you could plant crystals.... and harvest them.

[oshizu]

Awww, poor Tina and Collin! Hardly any time to enjoy their "wedded  bliss"!

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 3.4: It’s All Spacey

Michaela: Mum’s so focussed on Albie. She’s given up on me but she’s determined to make him a mini-her. She just ignores any wild side and then gives positive encouragement when he works on learning stuff. See – he’s at the top of the climbing frame (having loads of fun) and she’s just ignoring him as she goes off to work. See you later, short stuff!



Michaela: She’s so obsessed with work, she keeps her suit on in the house – how silly is that!



Michaela: I do get some attention. I’m needed to play chess against Albie while Mum mentors him. At least Granny Tina mentors me at the same time. My logic’s really building up now. Not that I need it for what I’m going to do!



Michaela: This! This is what I want to do! Professional leagues are beckoning. It’s so frustrating though. I can play all the basketball I want now but it won’t give me adult fitness. The waiting is killing me!



Michaela: OK. That was a bit over-dramatic. It’s not killing me. Granny’s letting me have my last 3 days off school. She takes me into the city and we’ve been doing loads of karaoke. Next to sports, I love singing best.



Robi: Albi aged up yesterday and today’s my birthday. Zara has agreed that I can get a very special present. Now then, can I find that purrrfect….



Robi: Hello, Kitty, what shall I call you? I know. I’ll call you Toto.



Tina: Isn’t this nice! All sitting down together to celebrate your birthday, Robi.
Robi: I’ve had a great day with little Toto. But looks like you’ve had a great day, too, darling.
Zara: Astronaut level 9 – I’m so happy.
Robi: You look great in that uniform.
Zara: I miss my spacesuit though!
Michaela: Of course you do!

Notes

Robi had to get a cat. It always seems unfair for an animal-lover not to have the pet of their choice. The family photo was taken a few hours later when Toto had aged up to an adult.

Tina’s age bar has been bubbling for days. It always seems a bit of a lottery how much longer the Bodybuilder aspiration gives.

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 3.5: Zara's Done

Michaela: Catching a few hoops before my birthday today. I can hear Dad calling – must be cake time!



Coach: So it was your birthday today?
Michaela: Yep! No party – just cake.
Coach: That’s so sad.
Michaela: Mum doesn’t like loads of people in the house so…
Coach: Are you sure you’re ready to step it up.
Michaela: Yes! I need to burn off whatever I’m feeling.



Michaela: I’m still cross with Mum & Dad not throwing me a party. I can’t bear to go back in there and have them tell me to focus on my studies. More hoops needed!



Robi: Ah Toto! I haven’t upset you, have I?
Toto: Meow
Robi: Who’s my special huggems?
Toto: Meow?



Zara: Did we have to come out for my birthday?
Robi: I thought it would be nice to remember how we got together on your last birthday.
Zara: Hush. Not in front of Mum. Or all those other diners.
Tina: Eh? What? Speak up!
Robi: How about we go home and make some more memories?



Toto: Meow
Robi: Hey snuggems. You and me – we’re a comfy shape, right?
Toto: Meow?
Robi: Zara says I’m getting a bit chunky and wants me to workout. What do you think?
Toto: Meow!
Robi: Well – she’s going to be getting a bit chunky, herself! For a while anyway…



Michaela: Hey folks – this is Judah. I know him from school – a fellow music lover. He’s asked me to hang out with him at this bar. Mum would kill me if she finds out – we’re the only teens here. No! It’s not a date! We’re just HANGING OUT!



Michaela: I thought I’d show what a good singer I am but without an accompaniment, it doesn’t sound great. I accompanied myself on the piano but I really need to get better at that. Still, I got £36 in tips. I can get that juggling ball I want!

Notes

Although Zara still needs 5 more space prints, she completed the official tasks for her Yellow Generation in this week.

I wasn’t planning on Zara having another baby but she phoned Michaela while she was at the gym and for some crazy reason I had her say yes! It's not the only time I've had household members phone to ask the NSS queries.

[Rhoxi]

Just HANGING OUT. I see someone is down with the teen 'tude. Looking forward to the next expansion? Also, how do you do your wrap up photo at the end, with the whole family? It's such a nice way to keep track of things.

I do the family pic with a screen snip (windows key+shift+S) of the family in the Manage Families window. It comes with a blank background but @oshizu has an amazing mod that let's you use a variety of backgrounds so she's the expert 

[Rhoxi]

I had no idea screen snip was a thing! I love it, thanks!

Haha, I'm using an app not a mod. We're not allowed to use most mods for the forum's dynasty challenges, remember?

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 4.1: Taking a Chance on Love

Michaela: A lot has happened this week. I got fed up of Mum criticising me so I left school, left home and moved to the hills of Tartosa. I got my dream job as a sports mascot. OK, so maybe not my dream job but at least its better than water girl.



It’s so romantic here and this guy was just strolling past. We struck up a conversation. Isn’t he dreamy? One thing led to another…



I went to freshen up while Mateo relaxed…



When I came out with some amazing news, he wasn’t happy. You see that ring on his finger? I swear that wasn’t there earlier. It turns out that he was “making the most of his last days of freedom” and he’d call me!  I didn’t make a scene but I did tell me we could only be friends from now on. He suggested “with benefits?” but I put him clear on that.



I dropped by to see the family as Mum had delivered baby Riley. He was starving so I fed him. Granny was pleased to see me but Mum kept out of my way. She implied that I was getting a bad reputation and that I needed to be more circumspect. I don’t need her. I’ll be fine!



I got a call from Mateo, asking me on a date. I said no, of course. I need someone who’s 100% for me and whoever comes along.



I should have said “however many” come along. I had twin boys. Red-headed Rowland who loves wearing purple and dark-haired Cary who wears anything he finds in the dresser.



I had that day off work. The next day brought Fetu the mailman with gifts from the family. He was feeling romantic and, with the boys asleep, I took another chance on love.



I left him with the Masato the Nanny when I went to work. He said he’d see himself out. But when I got home, Masato told me that Fetu had destroyed the dolls castle.



It turns out that Fetu Hates Children and loathes toys. Masato put him in the picture. I suppose I should have told him I had twin toddlers but…farewell Fetu. No parting gifts in terms of pregnancy this time.



So that’s me after 1 week on my own. 2 promotions and 2 babies and 2 failed romances. I wonder what next week will bring

Notes

I’m really missing the speedy toddler skilling that happens in a Tiny house. Michaela might just find her residence shrinking…
