Gissing Legacy, 3.4

[hjsnapepm]

Last time on the Gissing Legacy, Harry finished his LTW of woohooing 20 sims, got engaged and graduated from college.

This is what Harry found when he returned to Mead Valley:

Harry quickly gets back to the business at hand. George: These chairs will be hell on my arse. Wedding Spam

Hallo thar, slowpoke Brandon.

Harry: I probably shouldn't have done that, huh? George: There is absolutely no cushioning on these bloody chairs.

And here's the traditional wedding pillow fight. What's going on in the back, there?

o_O

Moar pillow fights.

And moar.

Brandon: You know I want six grandkids, right? Harry: :O

Marisa: George, dear, I'm not getting any younger.

George: *ZZZZZZ*

Get to it, then.

Marisa decided to buy a business and then decided she didn't want it anymore even though she had just bought it and had never set foot inside the place, so she sold it back. Oh, and she earned 100,000 simoleons and got her LTW. *shifty eyes*

Harry: Dad said he wants lots of grandkids, so I guess you should probably get used to being pregnant.

Harry: You totally won't be as big as a beach ball, though.

Grandfather/Grandson bonding.

I had Brenda change her turn ons and turn offs. Guess why.

George: It's very freeing. You don't know what you're missing, Harry, my boy. I don't even own a pair of swim trunks.

George: *basks in skinny-dipping freedom*

Harry: *writes song about his 80-year-old exhibitionist grandpa*

George: You're the best grandson ever, even if you wear swim trunks.

Brenda: Harry! I do so look like a beach ball!!! George/Marisa Spam

These two are all over each other. All. The. Time.

Brenda: Harry woohoo'd a service sim once, didn't you Harry?

Harry: Yeah, he was the llama mascot at school. Good times, good times.

Harry: Don't you ever flush the toilet when I'm in the shower again, Brenda!

Harry: Do you hear that!? Do you?

Brandon: I am the king of awesome! Everybody look at the wonder that is me!

Invisible-newspaper-stealing-zombie: Weirdo.

Brenda: OMG beach ball!

I love you, Brenda.

Marisa: Does this salmon smell off to anyone?

George knows his time is almost up. He's saying goodbye to everyone. :'( Marianne Spam

And now for some Failure Spam:

Marianne had to be the fail-y-est failure who ever failed at the science career. She was demoted about a million times before they sacked her.

E tu, Marisa?

Awwwwww.

Brenda: Um, a little help, please? (Note the Marisa-fail induced puddle in the background.)

Meet Elliott. He has his mum's eyes, George/Brandon's red hair and a geneticized skintone.

Everyone: Baby! No, that's not a twin hand-off. Brenda's just dead tired.

George: I really have to pee, but I've got a bad feeling about going into that bathroom.

George: Goodbye, my love. I'll miss you.

At least they let him finish his business.

Harry manages to squeeze into the bathroom to see George off.

Harry: Grandpa!

What're you doing, Grimmy?

But... She had time left! She's nine days younger than George! D:

The deaths hit everyone hard.

Except for Marianne. AHDFDHFDG! I H8 U, Marianne!

Harry: Grandpa. *sniff*

Marianne: Daddy. *wipes tears* That's more like it, Marianne. Now I don't have to kill you.

Let's have a moment of silence for George and Marisa Gissing, sim-soulmates.

LOL - It's so bizarre when a sim has a GOOD memory over the deaths of family members. And I think I'd have been a little freaked to see Grim leave the bathroom and go trailing through the house like that. I guess George didn't want to leave Marisa behind. ;)

I know! I haven't had all that many sims die on me in the year+ I've been playing and it had been a while since one had, so I was like 'That's... not normal, is it? Does he usually go roaming round the house after a death?' Then he went for Marisa and she seriously did have a couple of days worth of her meter left. Weird. From the very beginning, George and Marisa seemed to be destined for each other, though that sounds completely insane. I tried to avoid getting them together because she married my first founder in Pleasantview and I wanted a change, but George's other prospects all fell through.

I didn't really notice how cold Marianne seemed until editing my pictures. She's had a want to see George's ghost now for about thirty sim years. They had a good relationship, I guess it's just her knowledge sim curiosity of the afterlife getting the best of her. She had no chances to see a ghost with George alive.

No fair that Marisa had to die too D: NOT FAAAIR.

I'm excited to see what Elliott grows up to look like :3 and are you really planning on 6 kids? D: That's going to be painful.

NO KIDDING. D: D:

I spread the kids out among Harry and his siblings. You'll meet some of them in college.

I've been playing around with a legacy for pixel_trade and because of a truly scary combination of family sim LTW and knowledge sim telescope stupidity, gen 2 consists of seven (!) kids. So far. I just sent a bunch to uni to get a break and hopefully start moving on to gen 3.

Woah D: 7 kids. I've had about 10 in a house cus I was just making an orphanage (Adopted a kid every day till I was satisfied) and I was gonna choose one of them as a founder to a legacy later on. It was okay, I only used money cheats in order to have enough beds, and kids pretty much take care of themselves. But in a legacy they are first babies, then toddlers D:

Not only are they the most adorable life stages, but also the most annoying. I am so conflicted. xD

But in a legacy they are first babies, then toddlers D:

Good Lord, yes. I finally said 'Ef this!' and skipped the alien baby's... baby-dom. He's a toddler now and everyone's all over him, so the three teens had to go. I'm hoping the house is marginally less insane next time I play it. I swear, though, even if there were only two actual family sims in that house, it was full of the best bunch of caregivers I've ever played.

[uber-orange.livejournal.com]

Well that's good that there are good care givers. It makes a whole lot of difference when toddlers actually get fed. It breaks my heart a little when they start crying >_> or complaining. But it gets annoying fast with a ton of 'em running around xD
