Unfortunately, due to a bad chance card, Ben lost 3 Charisma points, so he now needs four more, plus I found out he ’s a knowledge sim, so basically his wants were: Be abducted by aliens, Defeat the Grim Reaper, See a Ghost, and maybe the odd Flirt with Denise. Because he had all these crappy and hard to fulfill wants, he was rarely ever in gold, let alone platinum, but when he was, I had him use the Thinking Cap and the mirror in the skill building room.

Well after about 5 WooHoos, I finally heard the cute little baby lullaby music and in the morning, Denise was throwing up a lot. It was a much harder pregnancy than Anna had with Denise and Monica. But when she was in a good enough mood Ben was absolutely doting on her

Around this time Monica spun up a want to “Have Very First Kiss” so I had her call up the matchmaker and she payed a hefty sum. And out of the sky dropped Kent Wong, and Monica had 2 whole lightning bolts with him.

I had them work their relationship up for most of the evening, stopping when Monica was in the red for one of her needs, and when their lifetime relationship was around 40, I had them kiss. Monica shot straight into platinum.

They spent the rest of the night romanticising, until about 2:00 am when he went home.

Soon then, Denise had a much larger belly than usual and she was being sick much less in the morning. Soon though, it was her time to jump out of bed in pain and give birht to…

A little boy, which I named Lee. He has brown hair, just like Ray, Denise and Monica, but blue eyes, which he either got from his father Benjamin, or from his Grandma Anna.

Denise would never leave her alone, whether she autonomously fed him, bathed him orjust started playing with him, she would not leave him alone.

Anyway, Lee soon grew into a toddler, and he was quite a cute little one, with a personality of 4-8-3-9-7, for a grand total of 31! Not bad. He gets his playfulness from Ben, his outgoingness from Denise, and his low Active and Neatness from Ray probably. Where he got that niceness from I have no idea. Denise and Ray had niceness of 5 and Ben had niceness of 4. Probably from his Grandma Anna’s niceness of 9.

Anyway, remember I told you that Denise would not leave Lee alone as a baby? Well, that all changed and it was Ben who doted on him all the time.

Next update, the AWFUL toddler years.

Felicia Firtree here again. I’m just writing to tell you about the things that have happened recently. Today we moved into our little bungalow house in a village called Logville. There’s way less stuff to do around here than there was in SimCity, where we shared an apartment. Our house is a vast improvement on our old one bedroom place. This one seem much more spacious. Anyway, here’s an old photo of me, James and our Mom, Nicola.

That’s me on the left, and James on the right, and Mom in the middle. Dad would usually stand next to Mom with his arm around her. I wish Dad could be here. I can still remember the day that we heard of a case of a carjacking in Downtown SimCity. Little did we know it belonged to Bob Firtree. It had crashed into the side of the Krampft Industries Co. office block. Both my Dad, and the carjacker had died. And it was a sad day for everyone in our family.

It was strange the way Mom acted. She seemed as though it had never happened. She was quick to make friends with our Maid, Remington. He’s part of a rich family from Veronaville.
Me? I got a job as a Lab Glass Scrubber and because of my grades, I worked my way up to Lab Assistant pretty quickly.

I got A+ grades in school in almost everything. My Mom was really proud of me. But James has a few…ahem…redeeming qualities.

He is possibly the greatest dancer I have ever seen. You used to see him jiving to Hip Hop almost every day in front of our jukebox, I can imagine him being in Showbiz when he’s older.

He’s probably the most social of the household. Whenever I used to bring friends home from school, they always see James and are usually a bit inimidated. Oh, did I mention that James was probably one of the most popular kids in school? Me? I’m a bit of a nerd. They used sit quietly with me until he speaks to them.

Something else I noticed too, is that Mom was obsessed with her body after Dad died. She seemed to work out at every possible moment. Probably to fill the void of Dad being gone, almost certainly in fact.

Sorry I haven’t written in so long. At the moment I’m halfway through my Sophomore year in Academie Le Tour! Yup, Me and James rented in a little house together. I got a 4.0 every semester! I’ve got some pics of me and James in our Freshman year.

During Freshman year we crammed till 2:00 am most nights, but Final Exam was so easy, we didn’t bother to study that much, but we still did pretty good. Even James would really crack on with his assignments…

Well, that was only when he couldn’t get someone else to write his Term Paper for him…

Actually though, we’re better off than we thought. We bothe got the SimCity Scholar’s Grant and I got another $750 for having a job, so we had enough money for this…

Isn’t it beautiful. Not me, the car. Yup, James went to a used car dealer and bought it one day. He came back and thought I’d be real angry, but he was a bit surprised when he came home and I was delighted. Anyway, I can’t write for much longer, I’ve a got a term paper to finish.

Talk soon,
Felicia

Soon though, Denise was becoming an adult, and as the heir, she’d have to find a husband pretty quickly.

Enter Benjamin Long. After two days of searching for a suitable husband in the One-Twenty-Five Cafe, Benjamin was the only one she found who gave her any lightning bolts at all, but they got one at least.



I had Denise get to know him as soon as possible and soon they were together.

Soon enough, Monica was becoming a toddler. In these first few generations, I found it quite difficult to look after the kids, perhaps because I had such a small house, so they got no talking, walking or potty-training done, but that never really did matter anyway. Time flies in the sim world, and soon enough Monica was becoming a child.

She’s an absolute clone of Denise, in persona and looks, so I gave her glasses and snazzy pink hair. I don’t know why, but Monica would often make her way over to the lie detector autonomously. All the Saints had their own little quirks. Ray would often go over to the mirror and check himself out, just like Anna would constantly clean the shower. Anway, back to business. Monica soon grew into a teenager.

Her face looked almost exactly the same as Denise’s, and the pink hair and Harry Potter glasses didn’t suit anymore, so I gave her a new look.

She should have the square glasses, but she’s in her PJs, so you can’t see them just like in the last picture.

Oh by the way…

I managed to remodel Saint House. Thanks to Anna’s moving in funds and Ray’s promotion to Intern, they now have 3 more rooms. A kitchen diner complete with all the necessary appliance and a table and chairs to back that up, a lving room with TV, sofa and bookcase, and a master bedroom complete with double bed and armoire. Unfortunately I was unable to get a car for Ray, but he should be able to manage with the carpool. Anyway, back to business.

Soon it was time for Anna to hop out of bed and start wailing at the top of her voice. Ray isn’t featured, but he is there somewhere, having a mental breakdown…
It turned out okay though, and Anna gave birth to a lovely baby girl, which they named Denise.

She has brown hair and green eyes just like her papa! But she has her mother’s high Outgoing score of 8, which can get seriously annoying at times. I didn’t get many pics of Denise as a baby or a toddler, but I got the transition into either one, so no one misses out. Time flys when you’re playing a legacy and soon Denise turned into a cute little toddler.

round this time, Ray got promoted to Resident, so I was able to buy an easel and to wallpaper most of the walls. As I said, three days sim time is nothing, so Denise turned to a child very quickly. She grew up in platinum, so Ray and Anna both shot straight into platinum. They’re both Knowledge sims by the way, in case I hadn’t told you.

I never liked the hair that most girls grow up in, so I gave Denise a little makeover and here she is chatting to her pop, who is off screen.

Denise and Anna were both thrilled when Denise brought home an A+ report card, and as standard, all three family members shot into platinum. Ray was at work that day, so he wasn’t around to celebrate, but got promoted to Surgeon thanks to being in plat.

Around that time, Anna got pregnant for the second time and she was constantly having to call friends to keep her social up, which was hard enough when she had to deal with hunger, bladder and energy. This pregnancy proved to be a LOT harder than Denise’s.

Anna gave birth to another little girl, who was an EXACT clone of Denise. Grr… This better not be the start of something! Good thing I didn’t give Ray custom hair. I called her Monica.

Next update, the teenage years!

Meet Raymond Saint. Ray for short. He lives on a plot of land in Logville, my custom neighbourhood. This Legacy was started after Nightlife came out, so it’ll have all the quirks and things that Nightlife added. Anyway, Ray has brown hair in a kind of a mullet, it looks a little like a bowl cut anyway. He has green eyes and sideburns and a thin layer of stubble.

A better look at Ray. You can see his feature more clearly here.


These are the humble beginnings of Saint House. It includes, a fridge, a cooker, some counter with sink. You probably can’t see, but there’s a bookcase somewhere and the only walled room of the lot, the bathroom, that is complete with sink, toilet, and communial shower. Of course there is a bed, an armchair, and by leaving the walls out of the lounge-kitchen, I was able to buy Ray a TV, for entertainment purposes of course.

Ray was quick to search for a job and he found one working in the local hospital as an Emergency Medical Technician, but he quickly got promoted to a Paramedic. His lifetime want was to become a Mad Scientist, but there was no job opening, and I needed the money, so I stuck with this.

Anna Hanby. Ray met her in a club called P.U.R.E. Sorry I forgot pictures of there meeting, but they got two lightning bolts anyway. They got along like wildfire anyway, so I figured this was the girl for Ray. He invited her over to his ram-shackle living area, (I don’t call it a house, because…well, it isn’t a house yet is it?) every day and eventually…

They were married. It was only a small ceremony, and Ray was still in his PJs, but it was still a start.

Next update, Generation Two is on the way!
