Since it's been so long, we'll go ahead and do a sim re-check since you've probably forgotten most of the details.
We've got Gen 1, the adorabubble founder Seven Pollination and his dual-hearts' only love, J Huntington III. Seven's goal for the overall mission was to grow 8 perfect plants and create a park, which he did very handily. Now he gets to enjoy his effective retirement, randomly upgrading plumbing/appliances and shamelessly flirting with J.
This is the newest edition to the household, our heiress' boy-toy Graham O'Hara. He managed to move in, become her boyfriend and knock her up in a record-breaking 2 sim hours.
GRAHAM - Just how I roll.
Indeed.
And this is of course that very lucky lady, Cassiopeia Pollination! Cassi? Can you hear me?
CASSI - Oh hey! You must be that disembodied voice 'Mission Control' that daddy Seven was always talking about when I was growing up.
Yep, that's me. Are you also aware of what your contribution needs to be for this legacy?
CASSI - Have babies?
Well yes, partly. What else?
CASSI - Prank-call the hell out of that dweeb Jefferson?
Uh, not so much, no.
CASSI - Well those are the only 2 things I care about, so.
What about building up the low-cost neighborhood of Newcrest?! Your PRIMARY function in this challenge?!
CASSI - Pretty sure YOU'RE the one who has to do that part, genius. I can't access Build/Buy mode.
. . . . touche.
Seven caught his other child Caelum wandering by out front and had to go say hello.
SEVEN - Caelum!! It's so good to see you son!
CAELUM - Uh, same to you dad. But . . . we literally live right next door in the only other house in the neighborhood. So . . . not that far away.
Next door might as well be an ocean away to an overly-affectionate sim alien dad, Cael.
Back inside Graham does some light programming for his job requirements. He's gotten the Tech Guru career, as I'm looking to build up a healthy nest-egg for future generation builds.
Being a Jealous sim though, Graham gets tense if he's away from Cassi for too long. Being heavily pregnant and uncomfortable at the moment, Cassi has no problems taking advantage of this in the form of many, many back massages.
This blanket-lump is J. He had an embarrassing day at work and decided to Hide from the World for a bit. Poor guy.
CASSI - Yeah daddy, the baby should be here any day now.
SEVEN - EEE! I am so excite!
Seven is totes ready to be a grandpa, FYI.
They moved to the living-room, and then Seven autonomously hit Cassi with an alien brain-scan.
SEVEN - Is that boy Graham treating you properly? Imma just check for myself. *scanz*
CASSI - Dad wut!
J - Sweet, the Llamacorns are up 5 points!
The alien shenanigans don't even faze J anymore lol.
Then they did the Secret Handshake. I thought it was adorable. And Graham has been eating his dinner at the dining room table this whole time. Ya know, like a NORMAL person.
That night, a very-preggers-Lorelai sighting! She's Caelum's wife, and I made sure we had a nooboo incubating before I moved them out to the house next door. Unfortunately it seems as though pregnancy isn't treating her so well at the moment, if that pouty lip is any indication.
CASSI - Hello, is this Jefferson Winters? Yes, this is Plumblisher's Clearing House, and you've just won 15,000 simoleons! Head down to City Hall as soon as possible to collect your winnings!
JEFFERSON - Really?! Thanks so much!
CASSI - *hangs up* Hehehe. We don't even HAVE a City Hall in this game. Moron.
She wasn't joking about prank-calling Jefferson (her original intended love-interest who rejected every flirt she tried to throw). It's her favorite hobby.
GRAHAM - Hey beautiful.
CASSI - Ehehehe *melts*
Yep, Cassi is putty in Graham's hands, much like Seven was to J all those sim
And Graham isn't about to let her slip out of his grasp. Because he loves her to bits . . . and is constantly terrified that someone else is going to steal her away. But mostly because he loves her.
GRAHAM - Marry me?
CASSI - *exaggerated gasp* OMP Really?!?!
. . . srsly Cass? Like this WASN'T the outcome you were working toward from the minute you invited him over and immediately had your dad bake a cake to age him up from a teen to a YA?
CASSI - Shaddup Mission Control, I'm trying to have a MOMENT here.
She said yes, of course.
CASSI - It's so pretty!
It's the same ring every engaged sim gets, actually--
CASSI - Shut. It.
I tease, but Cassiopeia and Graham really do make a cute couple. <3
What's this? No baby bump? That means there's a grandbaby out there somewhere!! I'll have to send Seven out some time in the future to investigate.
That same afternoon Caelum randomly showed up for a visit. Seven was in the midst of upgrading the TV.
CAELUM - Hey dad!
SEVEN - . . . and this goes here. Twist this little knobby thing there. Almost got it . . . .
CAELUM - Yah, I feel the love.
Since dad was busy, Cassi took over greeting duties.
CASSI - Caelum! It's so good to see you!
CAELUM - You too sis! You look about ready to pop! Lorelai just had ours last night.
CASSI - . . . you mean I don't get to be the first one to bring Gen 3 into the world?
CAELUM - Uh . . .
CASSI - Guess what, I have a GREAT idea!
CAELUM - Something tells me I'm going to regret this.
CASSI - Nonsense! It's the latest craze, all the cool sims are doing it!
CAELUM - Ok . . . what is it?
CAELUM - Well, this is new.
Yep. She dared him to go streaking. Because Cassi IS that vindictive.
Caelum took off jogging down the side-walk, little green butt flying free. Scandalizing fellow passer-by sims while he was at it.
WHITE SHIRT - OMP WUT DID I JUST WITNESS?!?!?!
BLONDE PONYTAIL - I can't . . . I just can't . . . so much GREEN!
GREEN HAT - Dayum son! He ain't got no drawers on!
I was highly amused that Cael didn't seem to get any negative effects from his walk on the wild side. No embarrassment or anger, just a psyched fist-pump of victory before he finally put his clothes on and went home.
Seven ended up following him, in order to see the 2nd house of the neighborhood and the new grandbaby in more detail. Immediately upon loading onto the lot, Caelum was busy omnomming his wife's face.
And this random . . . yellow-shirt sim was just standing there. Uncomfortably close. Just . . . staring straight ahead.
SEVEN - That's just creepy.
Agreed.
But anyhow, a walls-down view of Caelum and Lorelai's abode. Nothing too fancy, a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a great room in the front and a porch in the back.
A 3/4s view from the opposite end. You can see the baby's bassinet shoved in the master bedroom, right in front of the door . . . I have no idea how anybody's sleeping in this house atm. -_-*
And a little shot of the back porch, with a table, grill and a treadmill. I forget the exact simoleon amount of this lot, but I think it falls in the 30k range. The next/last 2 houses will be at or under 20k, as the rules dictate. I'll get around to building those sometime later on.
I hopped into build mode to move this little cutie's bassinet into the living-room so Seven could actually interact with him (and his parents could actually get into their bedroom afterward).
Everybody meet the first born 3rd Gen, Merak Pollination! (A quick reminder, all children born in this legacy will be named for stars and constellations, keeping with our alien founder/space-y theme. :D Because I wuvz naming themes.)
After bonding with the grandson, Seven headed over to his self-named Park to gather some of the harvestables and give some wuvz to Comet the Cowplant. I'm so happy he's still alive. I really hope he doesn't actually die, but I'm not sure what will happen with him being on a community lot now.
Afterward he went inside the sitting area and poured himself a rootbeer float. A happy Seven in front of a happy Seven photo? Meta. <3
I'm going to try to continue this tradition throughout the legacy - each completed lot/building will hold a photo of the heir who brought it into being. Let's hope I can remember/continue it all the way through!
Back on the home lot, Seven enjoys some yogurt and socialization with J and Graham.
J needs to Mentor others' work-outs for his job performance. As Cassi is heavily pregnant atm (and busy pranking the hell out of Jefferson), and Graham has no interest in physical fitness, Seven got nominated.
J - That's right, babe! Keep going! You're doin' great!
SEVEN - I just don't understand why you would choose to run in place . . . the whole purpose of running is to get somewhere quickly. This does not make logical sense.
I wholeheartedly agree, little buddy. The only reason I ever run is if something is chasing me.
It was at about this time that I installed Get Together . . . and I couldn't resist trying out the new woo-hoo location.
You can see that J and Seven were willing to 'fall on that grenade,' as it were.
They promptly jumped in for some fun, and this poor little white bird shot out immediately.
BIRD - WTF man! People are LIVING here! RUDE!
Oops. They also produced the obligatory red hearts and fireworks.
SEVEN - That was fun! We should attempt this again in the near future!
J - Agreed.
Down boys. Get back to the mentoring for now plz.
CASSI - Hello! MISSION CONTROL!
What? What!
CASSI - Oh nothing, just about to GIVE BIRTH over here! Laying the foundation for the continuation of your precious mission. But please, by all means, continue perving out watching my dads woo in the bushes!
Wow. Cranky much? -_-*
After a few sim hours to eat some breakfast and calm down a bit, Cassi was finally ready to give birth! She headed into the nursery . . . .
CASSI - Wait . . . this is . . . oh dear.
Eh?
Twins?! Real twins!
Wow, I just put two bassinets in there for aesthetic, I wasn't expecting you to actually fill them both up at the same time! Neither she or Graham have any fertility treatments, these are all-natural. Maybe because they're both domestic? Either way, I (and the sim parents) are ecstatic! ALL OF THE BABIEZ!
These two little monkey onesies are Algol and Antares Pollination! It's a shame neither are green, but oh wells. We can't have everything.
Graham was just as excited as Cassi, and made sure to snuggle both of his sons as soon as he came home from work.
While not needed, Seven still gardens in his free time. He's cultivating a small crop of (currently Magnificent quality) Dragonfruit bushes because they sell the best. Still working toward that healthy nest-egg of simoleons.
Caelum came by for another visit.
CAELUM - Congrats on twins, sis! That's amazing!
CASSI - Thanks Cael! They're beautiful, Graham and I are so happy.
CAELUM - And now you have something you can one-up Lorelai with, so you won't have to keep sending us crazy Gnome Fetish magazine subscriptions.
CASSI - I have no idea what you're talking about. *snerk
He hip-bumped with his dad.
Then fell for Cassiopeia's 'healthy hand-shake.'
CAEL - Oh Watcher! There goes the third grade!
The next morning Cassi and Graham actually paid Lorelai a visit. Mostly so Cassi would actually have her in her relationship panel. She had apparently managed to completely ignore the girl her entire life. I'm not even sure how because I know for a fact they've been on the same lot MULTIPLE times.
While the girls got acquainted, Graham played with little Merak. The reason for this random visit?
Because it was finally WEDDING TIME! And I wanted the whole family there (other than the babies, who went into the mysterious void of 'Daycare' for the duration.)
The ceremony was at Seven Pollination Park of course. And only J managed to figure out how to use the benches. Also, way to dress like crap to the wedding Lorelai. >_<
LORELAI - Gnome. Fetish. Magazine.
. . . okay, I'll let it slide this time.
Nuptials montage!
Then it was over to the picnic tables to cut the cake!
. . . .
Why is everybody cheering like it's somebody's birthday? Lol, that's new. And slightly out of place, but whatevs.
CASSI - I will shove that horn so far up your a--,
Now-now, Cass. Just cut the cake.
I was VERY happy to see they finally fixed the grahpics glitch that would cause the cake to be invisible during this interaction. <3
J autonomously hugged Cassi afterward, which was SUPER cute.
J - I'm so happy for you, Cass. I know you're going to do this legacy proud.
CASSI - Thanks daddy! I love you!
J - I love you too, sweetpea.
Wedding party requires drinks to be consumed, and Cassi had no problems tossing back a Sea of Fire martini.
CASSI - #snob4lyfe
Outside Graham enjoyed a Juice on the Rocks while watching Lorelai (who finally changed into her formal-wear 3 hrs late) play the NPC gardener in a game of chess.
Meanwhile Caelum was chatting up the resident hobo while Seven played with Comet.
Then they joined J in a game of horseshoes.
J - That's a fine profile, amirite?
CAELUM - Dad? Gross.
CASSI - Mine . . . AAAAALLL mine . . . .
I'd tease her, but I have to admit that Graham is looking dapper as f*ck in his tux. I'd be pleased/possessive too.
CASSI - Hello Mr. Pollination.
GRAHAM - Hello to you too, Mrs. Pollination.
CASSI - There's something out back that I think we need to go try out.
GRAHAM - Orly?
SEVEN - I am 96% certain you were oogling me a moment ago, J.
J - Not sorry.
SEVEN - Neither am I. <3
CAELUM - Seriously guys? It's like you're TRYING to scar me for life.
Seven finally decided to take pity on his uncomfortable son and went around harvesting the collectables for some extra cash. You can see Lorelai taking off in the background. She'd apparently had enough of the after-party.
Meanwhile, behind the shed, another party was about to kick off in spectacular fashion.
GRAHAM - Is this what I think it is?
CASSI - Depends on if you think it's the new woo-hoo bush. 'Cause if so . . . yup.
GRAHAM - *smacks her ass* Well get on in there, babe!
CASSI - I can't decide if I'm pissed off or turned on . . .
Both?
CASSI - . . . both.
So yah . . . that happened. Helluva way to end a wedding, but with these two I would expect nothing less. This was a 'Try for Baby' too (naturally), but whether or not it was successful will have to wait til next time.
For now we end with some beautiful wedding photos Seven managed to capture during the ceremony. Put up on the wall of the house to be forever immortalized.
Now we need a ship name . . . Cassam? Grassi? I dunno, hit me with some suggestions.
Join us next time as the real-twins Algol and Antares age up, Cassi and Graham no doubt add to their brood and Jeven continues to be absolutely adorable/shameless. Until then, happy simming!
