Welcome back to the Holley legacy! When we last left off Lana had just divorced Jorden, and Prince (the heir) had grown into a child.
Don is literally the cutest Sim grandpa I’ve ever played.
I’m really liking how in TS4 the family will all sit together without it being a major hassle. C learly I haven’t played TS4 much prior to this if I’m just noticing this now!
The male maid is also one of my favourite NPC’s. He’s literally in on everything, even Lana’s VooDoo.
Lana was tasked with caring for the overgrown garden after Jorden moved (was kicked) out.
Lana: “I feel sleepy all of a sudden…”
Lana: “Finally some rest….”
Why in the bathroom!? Ugh.
Male Maid: “Oh my god!”
See, he’s in on everything I tell ya!
Grim: “Well isn’t this a quaint gathering.”
It’s so much more convenient that Sims (at least as far as I’ve noticed?) don’t get sad overf the death unless they witness it.
Lana: “I’ve been spending my days painting, think I can finally get out of this house Cookie?!”
Your wish is my command. Lucky you, going on another date with Dimitri!
Lana: “I don’t even mind that Malcolm totally took my spot on the couch, he can have it.”
Random Cowgirl Townie: “Legacy Heiress spotted using poor Apartment Life misfit for aspiration boost!”
Don: “I feel a bit… weak.”
Don: “This brick is awfully comfortable.”
Uggggggh.
Drake! Go back inside! Great now he’s sad for two days.
Here’s the start of the legacy cemetery, complete with Lillies, an ode to Lilly the founder.
Drake: “I can barely even jog I’m so upset! Look, I smashed up the dollhouse too!”
Drake: “I can’t even focus on meeting a wife, the sun is hurting my teary eyes!”
For a mean Sim he’s awfully sensitive.
Mizuki: “Hey there pal!”
Then he met Azumi Mizuki, and everything changed!
Prince met Erika, and they became friends rather quickly. She’s a possible candidate for his spouse.
Lana however was not having the best of luck meeting men. This bartender ended up being married, as per usual.
And this guy, although he looked hilarious, was very angry his entire visit to the art gallery.
Of course Dimitri, Lana’s shadow showed up unnanounced.
Lana finally met a non-married man, named Rachid. He appeared to be interested in art as well (not surprisingly considering they were at a art gallery) and the two hit it off.
The next day Rachid invited Lana out to a cute little cafe.
And of course Jorden decides to show up.
Jorden: “Oh hello, didn’t realize the whole camera crew would be here! I am really enjoying this croissant, it’s a great barg-“
Jayla?!
Jorden: “Looks like it’s a double date!”
Not a chance.
On their second date, the new couple went out to a club.
And WooHoo’d in a closet. Keeping it classy Legacy style, as always!
The bar upstairs was filled with ghosts though, so none of them even noticed.
The happiest walk of shame I think I’ve ever seen.
Erika looks alot like Mizuki, Drake’s lover, which is a bit strange…
Why are you even here?
Jorden: “Oh hey! I knew you’d be right outside to greet me. Want me to catch you up on my life?”
You could of at least lied and said you were here to see your son, rather than basically admitting to your camera whore ways.
Lana: “I have some news- I’m pregnant. I know we’ve only known eachother for about a week bu-“
Rachid: “That’s great news!”
Finally Lana has picked a non-creepy, perverted guy (albeit, a bit boring, but we have to make sacrifices!).
He brought in 20k so I bought all this random stuff and shoved it away in the family inventory. Yay for inflated bills!
The expecting parents, within a day of moving in together, were already breaking many relationship barriers, such as sharing a bathroom.
Rachid also took great interest in Prince, taking it upon himself to play chess with him.
We also got Don’s nod of approval on Erika as Prince’s potential future spouse, from beyond the grave. He never even met the child, yet somehow he thinks she’s ‘cool’.
Mizuki, the Arika lookalike, came over for a visit and some romancing with Drake.
Rachid also managed to win Don’s approval as well, as they bonded over a game of chess. Literally Rachid spends hours playing chess so he can advance in his astronaut career.
Drake: “Hey man, you’re actually not even that bad. I’m shocked honestly because my sister usually picks total creeps or losers. Or both!”
Aw even the male maid approves!
Prince, like his mother before him, complete the artistic prodigy aspiration. Hopefully the next child/heir rolls a different aspiration.
God those jeans must be super uncomfortable for a pregnant women…
After a nice family meal, Lana out of nowhere pulls out her long lost VooDoo doll, and pours water onto it. Not totally sure what that means (it was binded to Drake previously LOL…)
Lana: “You didn’t see a thing!”
Rachid: “Uh,yeah of course not dear..”
Rachid’s face says it all.
Later on that day, Lana went into labour. Hopefully she doesn’t soil herself this time.
At least Rachid was there to support her, unlike last time when Jorden was MIA through the entire labour.
It’s a girl! Her name is Gwen (after Gwen Stefani).
Sims kiss so weird in TS4, I wonder how Lana even puffs out her lower lip that much, damn.
Prince: “It’s my birthday today! Thanks for coming to my party-wait, why do you look so sad?”
Erika: “Because, you’re becoming a teen and I’m still a child…who knows how long I’ll be stuck as a child for.”
Prince: “We’ll still be friends, you’ll see!”
I hope she doesn’t take forever to age up, otherwise I’ll have to find another spouse candidate!
Oh god, he looks just like Jorden aside from the green eyes. Thankfully his personality couldn’t be more different. He rolled the Music Lover trait and the Musical Genius LTW. This legacy is rolling so many artsy aspirations, we have writers, painters, musicians… geeze.
Erika: “Hello little Gwenie, will you be my new friend? Your older brother has outgrown me…”
Erika: “Wow, you’re like super tall now Prince!”
Apparently she has to crane her neck all the way up to see him, a little dramatic but eh.
And Drake finally completed his aspiration! Sidenote , are they still called LTWs???
Even from beyond the grave Don is still the cutest Sim grandpa!
Since Drake had completed his aspiration, it was time for him to make things official with Mizuki, and prepare to moveout with her.
I first though had them try for a baby, that way they could have somewhat of a life with the TS4 story progression…
Then I moved her in, and bought more random art to get rid of her 20k. After that I shipped the new couple off to live with the Goth family (why the Goths? It was literally random).
During the move Gwen aged into a cute toddler!
And she inherited Lana’s green eyes. This is where I’ll leave this chapter off. In the next chapter, Will Erika age up in time or will I get bored and find a new spouse candidate? Will Lana and Rachid last? Thank you all for reading!
