The Miller Legacy - 5.2  


Previously:

- Cinnamon was chosen as heir and took over the house.
- The family took a vacation to Three Lakes where they had a very (very) good time.
- So good in fact that Castor couldn't keep it in his pants and got pregnant again
- So did Cinnamon (no, not with eachother you pervert)
- Cinnamon also started her own nightclub as her first (of hopefully 5) businesses

Let's get started on the glitchiest update yet!



Now where were we. Toddlers, right.

Fun fact: I never used smart milk until I started this legacy. Am I that hardcore or just an idiot? You decide.



Holly on the left, Crystal on the right (as a reminder for those who might have forgotten)



They're adorable.



And this is Brandy, our newest kitten. We're up to the 7th generation already.



D'awwwww.

Ok, enough of that.



Pollux has gotten more and more blatant about this Rosie thing. Ivy's either stopped caring altogether or gone senile.



Ivy: (I need to.. no wait...... cake.. I need cake. Why don't we have any cake?!)

My money's on senile.



Castor: grrrrrr!

You think a vampire carrying a toddler is mentally scarring? Werewolves top that, easily.



Back at Cinnamon's club. The hottest place in town!

Go ahead, boo me off stage for my bad puns.



Sweet, gold sales talent badge.

Dazzle, eh?



Cinnamon: You just have to come to my club, it's the best place in town. No the best place in SimCity... the best place in the universe!!
Evil witch: OMG!! *squeels*


I'm developing a love for this interaction. Why did I never get any gold sales badges before?



Totally random shot of the club.

Yes, that statue does look out of place there but hey, environment score!



Hi Sean Ohlsen!



One down, four to go.



Back at the main house we have romance sims being autonomously suspiciously family sim like.



Pop!

And a pregnant Cinnamon again.



Castor: Congratulations for being super hot. It's like you get hotter every day.

They went from two to three bolts when Castor's personality started changing due to the werewolf thing.

It worries me.



P... ah you all know the deal.



The first of many birthdays this update.



Holly's too cute!



Crystal looks a lot like her father, I think the only thing that's Cinnamon's is the nose and eyebrows.



Ever since that Three Lakes vacation my sims have taken to slapdancing at every oppertunity.

Here Castor's giving a private demonstration to Tequila. (Tequila actually had "watch" in her queue)



Cinnamon: Oooh my husband's so hot it makes me have to pee!

No, I think that's just your bladder control wavering.



Legacy portraits, now with Cinnamon's portrait!



Now Pollux, I know he's unemployed, has been mooching off the family forever AND he's a werewolf but that's no reason to start thinking of him as the family pet!



Cinnamon: Hello? Anthony? Move! I need to make the beds!
Anthony: *sobs* My life sucks!




Rosie: *cracks knuckles* You will get yours, you senile old bat.
Ivy: Ooh, kitty! This house has so many kitties!




Anthony: I'm all alone! I have no friends, no parties, my life's a lie! *sobs*
Cinnamon: *ignores him, plays with cat*




Ivy: *swoons*


Hahaha. Ok, Ivy, I know you haven't gotten any from Pollux in ages and you're probably desperate. But picking the sim least likely to want to sleep with a woman? Good going!



Not that it matters.

Death: Okay lady, time's up, let's go.
Ivy: *gasp*
Rosie: Hahahah! Woo! The bat's gone! I told you you'd get yours, you witch!
Pollux: *walks up, taking his sweet time* Something happening?




Anthony: And now my wife's aunt is dead, life couldn't get any worse *sob sob*
The rest of the family: *couldn't care less*


I swear, nobody cried except Anthony. And he barely knew her!



Out with the old, in with the new!



Cinnamon: Oooh, my husband's hot when he's all depressed!
Crystal: Mom, shouldn't you be paying attention to the baby? You might drop her!


It's a girl. Brown hair, green eyes and her name is Amber.



Sometimes the ghosts redeem themselves by being all cute.



The legs give it away but there's really only one sim who would do a thing like this. He's like a big child sometimes (a lot of the time).



Anthony: I'm so hungry! I really need some food right about now, I'm starving!

Hello, delicious sparkly pancakes, right in front of you?



This is business number two. The Toybox.

The white shop shelves clash horribly but I couldn't find a colour that fit and I stopped caring after trying for a while to make it look nice. Aslong as it's functional.



Cinnamon: You so know you need a kite! Everyone needs a kite!

Cinnamon gets right at work dazzling the customers.



Anthony: One plus.. no wait... *whimper*

In an attempt to stop Anthony from being so damn useless, he gets to be the cashier. He sucks at it.



Yay, good review!

(but man Mr Reviewer, change that sweater! Ugh)



And a best of the best award!



Anthony: Oof! *gets hand stuck in the till somehow* Now the cash register hates me too :(

And back to the main house.



Pollux: (dum de dum, off to have sex with Rosie..mmmm)
Amber: (Did he just drop me on the floor?)
Gin: (dude, he just dropped the baby right on the floor!)


Note how it says "relax" in the upper left corner. ACR'd woohoo for the win.



Castor: Did someone leave you on the floor?



All together now. Awwww.



Ever since Ivy died, Pollux has started projecting his own lack of a family onto others. Guess who?

Note that Castor himself has never ever rolled a want to get married or joined, ever.



Kittens are love.



Holly: Look look! It can stand!

Congratulations Holly. What an achievement.





Brandy as an adult cat. Best cat ever!



Crystal: Mom look! Mom! Would you just drop the cat already? I'm trying to show you my report card here.



Amber's birthday.





Those are definitely Cinnamon's eyes, Anthony's mouth and eyebrows, not sure on the nose.



No no, I can hear you all groaning now. I'm not doing another long vacation sequence. But there is a reason I'm shipping Pollux off, again.



It's not this. Although lol, alien suntan.



Witchdoctor: I only invited them in for some coffee! (and maybe to do my dirtywork for me)

Not this either.



It's this!

45 out of 45 vacation memories! Take that!



Brandy is still the best cat.



Oh hello Arcas. Nice of you to drop by uninvited and SET THE TRAIN SET ON FIRE!

Arcas: I just wanted to see how fast the little train could go!



Thankfully Rosie's here to save the day.

I think I may need to install a fire alarm in this room now.



Arcas: Phew, crisis averted.

You're lucky it was averted, no thanks to you! You almost burnt the top floor of the house down!



Cleaning for the family is not going to make me forgive you!

Wow... and how old is that cake? That's Cinnamon's wedding cake! Has that been sitting in the garden all this time? Ew.



I thought we could do with some more cute, so I shipped the kids off to the local park.

Crystal: I hate the park!



Maybe so, Crystal, but I'm not putting a rollerblade rink in the backyard of your house.



What a nice family..... wait a minute.. You! In the back! Where the hell are you putting your hand! You stop that right now!

I'm never going back here again.



Good thing too cause I think the park might be a fire hazard waiting to happen as well.



Holly: Daaad! Stop taunting me! God, I hate this game!

Shame too cause I really don't have the space at the mansion to put things like this in the backyard.



Gin's dead.

Cat deaths always get more of a reaction out of this family.



Holly: Look Anthony! I got an A+!
Anthony: Nice going! Atleast someone's accomplishing something!


Why do the kids always show the report cards to the wrong people? That's your brother in law! Your father is in the next room, go show it to him!



Please don't talk about baby stuff with Castor. You might give him ideas.



Pop!

Oh, I guess that's why you were talking about baby things. Carry on then.



Another Amber birthday.



Amber: Mmmm, something smells good!
Cinnamon: Not from down here it doesn't!




Amber: Oh no! I just lost!

You're playing against yourself!



I think she's cute. Not sure I want another generation with those eyes though.



Oh Castor.

Please don't ever change.



Whee!

Let's have some more cute kid spam in here.





/spam



Anthony: Ahahahahahaha! Did you know? I have no friends at all! I'm all alone! But I have you now, don't I?

Maybe I should not have neglected Anthony so much. It would help if he would stop rolling such stupid low point wants though! Sing Duet every damn day.



I don't know. Am I sure I want to adopt Bonkers?



Most of the family: +5000!

Yep, pretty sure.



Ehm, Crystal. I'd get out of the room if I were you

Crystal: But why can't I smustle in this room?

Crystal. Out. Now!



Hm. This seems familiar.



There are a lot of birthdays this update, aren't there?



Holly: Woo cake! Yaaay!



Holly Miller:

Aspiration: Family
Secondary Aspiration: Romance
LTW: Become Hall of Famer
Hobby: Sports

Sloppy/Neat: 2
Shy/Outgoing: 4
Lazy/Active: 10
Serious/Playful: 6
Grouchy/Nice: 5

Gah, she turned out pretty but she's not in the running for heir (wrong generation).

Excuse the hair issue. She's gone screwy on me and all hairs show up semi-transparant (as in, I can see right through her entire body) on me. I don't know what caused it or how to fix it so I'll just have to live with it, I guess.



Crystal Miller:

Aspiration: Family
Secondary Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Graduate 3 children from college
Hobby: Fitness

Sloppy/Neat: 3
Shy/Outgoing: 10
Lazy/Active: 10
Serious/Playful: 3
Grouchy/Nice: 9

Rather extreme personality.



Still the best cat.

Sorry, I'll shut up now.



Holly: Hey dad! Dad! I got an A!
Ashley: That's nice, but next time could you not run into the bathroom to tell me?


This family has no sense of personal boundaries.

And we end this update with:



Anthony: OMG! Another one!



Yes, another one. Another girl. Jade, blonde hair, green eyes.

Check back next time for more birthdays! (oh joy)

i love Holly! Holly for heir! (is it possible?)
and also i downloaded Castor! i love him, don't ever let him die :D
and btw i love your skintones and eyes, could you possibly tell me where you got them from?
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 17th, 2008 10:46 pm (UTC)
Unfortunately Holly can't be heir unless I want to redo gen 5 entirely since she's Cinnamon's sister!

Don't worry. I have no plans for Castor's death at this moment :P

aww it's too bad, can you at least keep her in the house? she is very cute

and ty for the links :)
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 17th, 2008 10:57 pm (UTC)
Probably not, the house is pretty crowded with Rosie and Castor staying on as permanent residents plus whoever is that gen's heir, their spouse (if they have one) and their kids. We'll see what happens with Holly.
Legolegosims on September 17th, 2008 10:47 pm (UTC)
HI SEAN! *waves*

This picture made me laugh. It looks like the other cat is on her head. XD

I love Castor so much. I just love awesome dads in general. <3 Probably why I tend to pay more attention to my male parent sims than my female ones.

Brandy is a very awesome cat. Oh and the kids are nice too. XD
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 17th, 2008 11:00 pm (UTC)
You know I've seen Sean a few times at the club and such but I've seen hide nor hair of Jonas?

Aw man, now I can't unsee it. I'll always see a cat sitting on her head.

I love Castor too. Surprised me, since I don't generally get that attached to my sims. He's a pretty awesome dad for being a pleasure sim. I still say he's a family sim in disguise or something.

Haha, Brandy > the kids.
Legolegosims on September 18th, 2008 06:56 pm (UTC)
Hmm, Jonas is reclusive? He never was one to go out places, I think the only times he ever did was when Tobias wanted to go somewhere and would drag him along.

Oh yes, I must say - I've never had the desire to download a sim before, but I actually downloaded Castor last night. So far all he's done is express an intense attraction to Eros Weiss, who only likes girls.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 07:04 pm (UTC)
Jonas is sort of reclusive yes when it comes to clubbing. I think I spotted him walking by the toystore at some point and I may have seen him down at the mall, but nightclubs? No. But, I feel like a distraction, so I'm gonna go put him in an asylum in a bit with Ferret's Max, Castor and some other sims that I need to round up from random places (and perhaps create one or two of my own).

Ahahaha. Poor Castor. Well, Castor's easy though, unless he has three bolts with Eros I'm sure he'll find some other guy or girl soon enough. I hope he has some fun in your game, but knowing your sims it'll probably end in tragedy XD (which I don't mind, at all).
Legolegosims on September 18th, 2008 08:04 pm (UTC)
Ohh, that should be interesting! I'd love to see how those guys all work together in an asylum. XD

Yeah, I'm sure Castor won't have too much trouble finding someone. I was fooling around with the hacked gypsy ball just to see who he might like in the neighborhood, and who do you think it showed? Ashley. (I have Sim State attached to Strangetown.) Now I'm torn between doing something totally different, or letting him have his Frat boy!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 08:15 pm (UTC)
Lol! It must be true love XD Well, as true a love as a pleasure sim and a romance sim can hope to have. True lust then. They had two bolts in my game (three now that Castor's a werewolf).

I hope it'll be interesting! I've just gone and nabbed some sims from different people and am setting up a neighbourhood as we speak (will probably copy my tropical island themed hood for this one.. it'll be a tropical asylum!). Then I need to build them a place to go crazy in and set the sims up. Hopefully this one will last longer than the previous one.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 09:25 pm (UTC)
PS. Pictures of anything terrible (or awesome) happening would be nice ;)
Legolegosims on September 19th, 2008 09:35 pm (UTC)
Oh there will definitely be pictures once he gets up to something!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 19th, 2008 09:43 pm (UTC)
Yay! :D
jesstheexjesstheex on September 18th, 2008 01:25 am (UTC)
(Tequila actually had "watch" in her queue)

That cracked me up. I love when pets do awesome things like that.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 02:18 am (UTC)
I'm surprised the pets still manage to do things after 7 generations that I've never seen before. But I love it! :)
Ammybearamaryssobellus on September 18th, 2008 04:41 am (UTC)
Now Pollux, I know he's unemployed, has been mooching off the family forever AND he's a werewolf but that's no reason to start thinking of him as the family pet!
LOL! I love Pollux for this alone.

You make business look so easy! I almost pulled my hair at the amount of fail the one time I tried my hand at one.

AWESOME! 45 out of 45! Nice.

I love how Rosie's involved with Pollux, which is the second memeber of the family she's been with, right? I can see her staying in the household and worming her way into another Miller's bed as the years go by.

What a nice family..... wait a minute.. You! In the back! Where the hell are you putting your hand! You stop that right now!

I'm never going back here again.

LOL! & EWWW! You caught the perv! It's like that show on TV.

So who's the next heir?
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 09:34 am (UTC)
To be honest, I think clubs are probably the easiest business. Just put some entertainment stuff on the lot and one of those ticket counters and the customers do the rest. I'm finding the toystore to be much harder, mainly because the customers keep playing kicky bag instead of actually buying anything!

Yep, conquest number 2 for Rosie. I'm sure she will get her hands on someone else as we move on. When her ACR base timer runs out, she's gonna want to woohoo with someone. Although looks like the gen 6 heir will be female (since there have been no boys born at all!), so that's one worry less.

I hadn't even realized that perv was there until I was going over the screenshots after taking them and suddenly I was thinking "what the hell?!". The worst bit, I think it's one of my playable sims... I might have to kill him now :P

And I don't know who the next heir is yet! I really can't decide yet, maybe by next update.
Martinarosaconiglia on September 18th, 2008 08:31 am (UTC)
Crystal has a beautiful face... I love her. And I can't help to enjoy Anthony. Yes, I have a passion fot the dropouts :D.
And you're doing SO good with the business! Great. But you have some employee that is toy-making or...? ... I never had the patience to try that, but I want to, and I will!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 09:36 am (UTC)
Crystal looks a lot like her father so maybe that's why you like her best :P

Rosie is the resident toymaker, she has a gold toymaking badge (and a gold sewing badge, gold gardening badge, working on a gold robotics badge). I just have her make a bunch of toys and stick them in Cinnamon's inventory before going to the store.
engram_auengram_au on September 18th, 2008 09:43 am (UTC)
I finally managed to catch up!

After all my PC disasters I wasn't going to do another legacy but you've got me wanting one! The Millers are all kinds of awesome. Love the gemstone theme you have going with the next generation :) The cats are great, too. Brandy has some fantastic markings. Definitely best cat ever. And you're doing so well with the business side, too.

Hint: to get 5 top level businesses more easily, get a business to level 10, then drop it to 9, get it back to 10, drop it back to 9, etc, a total of 5 times. Your sim will get the memory of having 5 top level businesses even though they only ever ran one business. I don't think that "workaround" ever got fixed with a patch.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 10:20 am (UTC)
I love going with name themes, but I'm gonna have no idea what to do with the next generation :P Naming sims gets hard after a few generations!

Thanks for the hint! I'd like to try for 5 actual different businesses but if I don't manage to get it before Cinnamon gets too old I might use that tip.
Alcyonealcyonesims on September 18th, 2008 03:48 pm (UTC)
Aww such cute kids and cats. I love cats :D

Grats on getting the first business to 10, make a cute bakery and let Castor bake!

The vacation memos, well done. I nearly did it once, never finished :P

Lovely simmies and legacy as always :D Sucky comment but I'm sleepy ( D: )
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 03:55 pm (UTC)
Ahahaha, Castor bake something? He's not that bad that he'd burn the kitchen down but he's not exactly a pastry chef either. I'm now trying really hard not to imagine Castor in an apron though. XD

The vacation memories was fun, except for the 5 vacations one (and an attentive reader would note you can only see the family take a vacation 4 times through this legacy, the fifth one was me sending him up for a day and then back :P I didn't screencap it)

And thank you. Now go get some sleep, or coffee, whichever is more appropriate!
Ferretferretsims on September 18th, 2008 06:26 pm (UTC)
Wow Pollux, I know he's unemployed, has been mooching off the family forever AND he's a werewolf but that's no reason to start thinking of him as the family pet!

LOL! Great update. That pervert in the park... just ew XD

Oh, and about the hair thing. It happened to me when it was winter in my 'hood, all you have to do is force an error on the sim and choose reset.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 06:32 pm (UTC)
Ooh, thanks for the hair thing. I'm gonna try that right now because it's been driving me mad. Can't really take nice pictures of a sim if you can look right through their body!

And thank you. I kinda wish I had known before that my sims were that disturbing, I would have put this family in a different hood!
Danica but you can call me Jen: Jessie Gen 3 heirjens_sims on September 18th, 2008 09:00 pm (UTC)
Crystal and Holly are just lovely, can't wait to see how Amber and Jade will turn out.

Congrats on getting that first Level 10 business, good luck on the other four.


Now Pollux, I know he's unemployed, has been mooching off the family forever AND he's a werewolf but that's no reason to start thinking of him as the family pet!


Haha! Oh my god, that glitch is even more hilariously awesome now! XD
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 18th, 2008 09:13 pm (UTC)
Thank you! I'll probably need all the luck I can get for those businesses.

That glitch was hilarious (but also kind of annoying, half the family kept rolling wants to teach Castor to speak or sit)
fanaticsimmerfanaticsimmer on September 22nd, 2008 01:36 am (UTC)
amazing graphics!
how do you do your graphics? they are amazing!!!
love the legacy btw. i miss ian ]:
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 22nd, 2008 01:55 am (UTC)
Re: amazing graphics!
I take screenshots with print screen, paste them into photoshop (I could probably be so much more efficient if I got off my lazy behind and got a screencapping program). Select what I need (remove the rest), run a sharpen filter over it, resize it and add a border. The rest is my graphics card XD

And thank you, I miss Ian too sometimes.
tenac_08tenac_08 on September 22nd, 2008 02:47 am (UTC)
this is a kickass legacy! i read the whole thing from beginning to end in one sitting, and i just love it. mind if i add you?
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 22nd, 2008 09:31 am (UTC)
Go right ahead! And thank you! :)
katrinawut on September 23rd, 2008 11:58 pm (UTC)
Omg. I love Holly.

Seriously. I'm in love. I don't usually like aliens. WANT!

XD Crystal's cute too. ^^
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 24th, 2008 12:11 am (UTC)
She's cute, isn't she? :D I love her too and kinda wish she had been born way earlier, so she could have been heir.

Oh well. Crystal will have to do (or one of her sisters).
Jessica.dearblythe on September 27th, 2008 05:54 am (UTC)
i just read through this whole legacy and man. why must your sims be so beautiful? all of them! even the aliens, i don't usually like them, but fdsknbfggfgh <33333

this made me lol:

Amber: Mmmm, something smells good!
Cinnamon: Not from down here it doesn't!

and i'm pretty jealous cuz you have a wonderful graphics card, all the EPs, a biiiiig house and probably no lag.


you should totally make someone a witch. :D


fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 27th, 2008 02:51 pm (UTC)
Hahaha, not like I purposely try to make them beautiful (well, except that I use a pollination tech replacement).

I wish I had no lag but although over all the game runs smoothly, it does lag a little on the Miller's house due to the size and number of sims on the lot. Especially at night and when it snows.

Don't tell anyone but I locked a "become a witch" want on one of the Millers, shhhh ;)

And thanks for reading! :D
Jessica.dearblythe on September 27th, 2008 09:34 pm (UTC)
oh oh oh yay!

i never play with anything but human sims but AL has made me want to try on the witches andddddd you've inspired me to try the aliens. :D

i was just wondering, do you have a link for those default replacements?

aaaaand your normal replacements? :D
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on September 27th, 2008 10:08 pm (UTC)
Well, the witch thing will not happen immediately yet, I have something else to do first. But I will make it happen (I did not lock that for no reason :P).

There's links to what skintone/eye/eyebrow replacements I use in this post here: http://fantasyrogue.livejournal.com/6385.html

The pollination tech I've used is: http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=266055

Back at Cinnamon's club. The hottest place in town!

Go ahead, boo me off stage for my bad puns.

I actually thought it was kinda funny xD

Legacy portraits, now with Cinnamon's portrait!
Ohh, I LOVE Castors portrait.

Aw, shame I don't have those portraits anymore then :( (although I like his new one ;) )

THERE'S A CAT ON HER HEAD!
baha sorry couldn't resist.

basically;
- Anthony's a big wuss
- Castor is definitely my hero for being such a child at heart
- Rosie is as well for being so cruel
- i'm way too hungover to be laughing this much, and if i puke i'm blaming you. :D
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 24th, 2010 03:14 am (UTC)
Lol, I had noticed the unfortunate angle of that pic before XD

Well if you do puke, I'm not cleaning up the mess.
