The Howell Legacy: Gen 1.3
Previous updates: 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.2
Hello once again! Seems like forever since the last update (almost a month!) but as I've said before, my bandwidth finally reset and I've finally finished editing pictures. So, welcome back to The Howell Legacy!
Previously, in The Howell Legacy...
Paisley and Robin had a second daughter, Rory, who grew into a child, then had their third daughter, Laurel, and Addison grew into a teenager.
We open this update with another birthday...
Here is toddler Laurel! She is undeniably adorable, but I think Addison has been my favourite toddler so far.
Also, Paisley is pregnant once again! I've decided to make one final push for a boy this generation so fingers crossed!
This is Matilda's first and only appearance this update, so make the most of it.
Quick question: what sort of fun hobbies should pregnant women take up since being out of work?
Gardening of course! ...But, in the snow?
When will children learn that they are not going to magically receive an A+ report card on their very first day of school?! Silly Rory.
She soon perked up though when the snow deepened.
Such an innocent wee face.
As you can see, I decided to give the animal onesies a rest. I was running out of them anyway.
Like weird-werewolf-father, like daughter!
Speaking of werewolves...
Your wish shall be my command! Soon, my pretty...
I suppose this would be a good time to point out that I redecorated the house. I'm in love with the dining area, and the family finally has a big enough table.
I'm really hoping for a boy in the family, I feel so bad that Robin doesn't get to share these kind of bonding moments with a son whereas Paisley has three daughters to bond with.
Um... get off my roof please?
Rory: "MUM! Dad's eating Addison!"
Rory: "Ew, she has a beard..."
Proud of yourself, are you Robin? You just beat up your own child... you make me sick.
Uh, okay Unsavoury Charlatan?
Just 2 promotions away from becoming a worldwide Celebrity Chef, and Paisley's poor cooking skill still worries me.
Newbie were-Addison agrees; this tastes like poo.
What are you up to now, Robin? You seem to be throwing that ball pretty hard. Where could you be aiming it...?
You're such an ass.
He must really want a son to play catch with.
And in that moment Paisley decided to go out of her way to give birth outside.
Guy-Addison-Brought-Home: "She's totally having a baby over there."
It's a boy! Yuss! He's called Hunter (and it only took three reloads and several hundred "pacifier rolls" to get here). He is however another with Paisley's brown hair and eyes. At least Addison got her father's eye colour.
Laurel's still a cutie, but with a new baby in the house, she was starting to be neglected.
When the moonlight calls... the werewolves will... read the newspaper?
I decided it was high time Addison got a job. Mainly because Paisley rolled the want for her to become an Overachiever.
I thought your were-side was supposed to be the one that's good at parenting?
Remember what I said about Laurel being neglected?
I think Rory's going to be the popular kid, she's always chatting on the phone and bringing little dweebs home from school.
Anyway, it's birthday time again!
Laurel again!
So I managed to pause the game at this precise moment. Now watch as events unfold...
Kaylynn: "If I can't see it, it's not there!"
And here's child Laurel! Loving her a lot more I think, those pigtails are adorable in The Sims 2.
But we're not done yet! Double birthdays!
And here is toddler Hunter! Eep! Move over, toddler Addison (sorry).
And then, somehow, this miracle happened...
Booyeah! Big bonus! Maybe now I can furnish the rest of the house.
I can't get enough of this wee man. He's so adorable!
Rory is finally pleased with her results. We'll have to wait for Laurel to get good grades now though before we can warrant a visit from the Headmaster.
Huh. I thought it was just Laurel that was going to be neglected in this update.
Eh, Paisley that toy was bought for your son, you childish little ass.
Love how Addison has so far managed to maintain her overly neat ways. That'll soon change.
I've never actually owned a Jack-in-the-Box before, so I was delighted to see this super-cute interaction!
Yeah, I'd be mad too if my dad was making me do my homework outside in the rain, at night.
Laurel: "The pages are getting all soggy!"
All I can say is, "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Huh. I didn't know Robin had a llama.
So Robin began teaching Hunter to walk at night, and then failed to transition back into his human form come daylight.
Addison: "Later, trash!"
Yeah, thanks for helping around the house. But I still don't understand how you managed to turn one bottle into... that.
Oh, you've got to be freaking kidding me!
And I guess we'll leave it there for now. I've started the next update, but not played in a while. Hopefully I can get back into the game over the next week. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
