8.08 This Generation Never Ends

Anyway, baby #2 (i think anyway) is practicing her singing. I spotted those fangs. I promise I’ll (probably) fix them when I actually remember to type in the cas.freeedit code.

Jane wastes no time getting back into yoga. She just popped a baby out, should she really be doing a handstand?

Speaking of Victoria, shes aged up and has… green hair. Huh.

A fire broke out and wouldn’t go out. Had all of them gathered next to the bike like this.

The fire eventually goes out and Jane gets to bath… in her own bathtub for once.

Carolynn, of course, gets a hold of the baby. She coos over her newest granddaughter. I realize I’m probably gonna have to keep some of the kids as young adults, just waiting for Victoria to age into a teen.

We’re back, my s key isn’t stuck (see i used like 4 s’s) and Jane is gaming. Looks like shes playing MySims something or other.

Skyla is in the nursery, with a pile of dirty laundry behind her. I think she changed Vicky’s clothes.

I really gotta change… Man I said I’d take notes and I did not. I don’t remember her name, still.

Kid #2 is dancing. I don’t remember her name either to be fair.

Warning naked kiddo, if you need a warning about that sorta thing, but kid #3 is taking a bath.

Carolyn is working out (and shouldn’t be but she does what she wants).

Looks like… God, I am bad with names today. Emmie? I’m gonna go with Emmie just got back from work.

She works out as soon as she gets inside (Carolyn is still running btw) and her hair turns black. I know that has a grey/white swatch but I’m not fussed about it.

Carolyn stops running because the baby starts crying and she rushes upstairs to change her stinky diaper.

Emmie also rushes upstairs, but Skyla was slightly faster since she had been sleeping and jumped up to feed her daughter. Well, technically step-daughter. They’re not related by blood.

Jane apparently went outside, because now she’s playing Sims Forever, which is just… Sims 1.

Emmie apparently went to sleep, because shes in her PJs, and singing. Or telling jokes. I can’t remember which, if I’m honest. That nervous look has the look of i’m telling a bad joke aren’t i? written all over it.

Skyla feeds the baby once more, because its time. Finally time!

Ahhh! Shes back to bald!!

Heres the stinker, herself! Victoria, if you already forgot her name. I luckily haven’t. The only kid whose name I remember.

Here she is looking like a cutie in her alien form! She got the green hair, even though it was forced to be blonde. I always forget the kids don’t have the “fun” hair.

Little Vicky looking shocked. Shes just playing of course, but she still looks very cute.

Emmie is still trying to tell jokes. I don’t think its going particularly well.

Kid #2 is stinky. She regrets her choice to run on the treadmill. Jk, she doesn’t get a choice, I told her to do it until she was stinky.

That is surprisingly not Jane. That is her eldest daughter, but they look so alike with the black hair, that its only her birthmark that helps me identify her. Carolyn and Skyla are also in the kitchen (Carol is in her workout clothes AGAIN).

Anyway, Jane helps Victoria with her potty training. Look how happy she looks to be there!

The Kid #2 comes to do her homework in the nursery. Well, okay then.

Emmie decides to practice some guitar, which is good since her skill is actually quite low.

Jane and her eldest daughter look very similar. Doesn’t help I dressed them almost identical. Her eldest on the far right, Jane is on the far left, just in case you don’t know.

This still her eldest daughter. No idea what shes doing. I think shes goin’ somewhere.

Jesus Christ, please do not burn the house down! (Spoiler, she did not. She gets a cookie or a star).

Jumping to Jane’s work day, she got promoted after finally getting 1 million subscribers. I was so excited, I forgot she was only level 9 after getting promoted. She now needs 25 million subs. I’m… so excited to reach that number (‘:

When she gets back to the house, shes forced to help Skyla help the kids with their projects. Skyla helps Kid #1, Kid #2 gets Jane’s help. Neither are thankful.

When they finally get inside, each of them makes a different dish. Awesome. Theres food in the fridge, you two know that right?

Well when they figure out that they can actually eat actual food, its time for kid #3’s birthday.

Happy birthday, brat.

She grows up a little on the chubby side, but still very pretty. Her sister and grandmother are chatting in the background. Neither bothered to cheer or throw confetti. Traitors.

Anyway, this chapter has gone on long enough. Next time we speed round to get the the toddler’s teenage birthday. I don’t know, I haven’t played since these pictures were taken almost a month ago. I guess we’ll find out together. Anyway, I hope you at least enjoyed the chapter and I’ll see you in the next one.

8.07 Birthdays and More Birthdays!

We’re back on another date with the Riley’s. Jane is busting a move, making people faint. Clearly.

She chooses then to go outside and take a nap on the bench. Okay… then. Your choice.

When she gets up, she changes into her space dress (which I’m pretty sure is her party wear?) and heads to a local park. She meets up with her half-sister Clarisa there. It looks like they’re chatting, but they’re actually not.

Sofia stalks Jane, once again. Or is it Maria? They had slightly different faces, if I remember them correctly. I know Maria was evil though.

Once she gets home, her kids try to fight over the desk to do homework on. Pretty sure Zoe is quickest though.

Yeah, she was speedy.

Baby #3 got banished to the kitchen. Pretty sure Baby#2 went to the teen bedroom.

Nope, she went into her mother’s bedroom to get help with her homework. Fair play, kid.

Emmie, as you can see, still has her lesbian rainbow tail. Funny how I didn’t even know she was gonna be a lesbian and it just… happened that way.

Then because it was their first day to school (or Zoe’s… second or third week), the girls get stuck with their afterschool projects. Jane helps Baby#2 and Zoe is helped by Skyla.

Oh! Wait, nevermind! Jane is getting abducted! Bye Jane!

Whenever she gets home (questionable, really), she lights herself on fire. Jane, you dummy.

It was all to bake a cake for Zoe, you see. Happy birthday, Zoe! Don’t light yourself on fire too!

Luckily, she does not catch on fire, and I remember her birthmark. Here she is, post-makeover. I don’t know why I took a picture of her at this angle.

Zoe: Because you’re brainless.

The laundry baskets are all full so I’m piling the laundry in the laundry room, as so. They can still get around it, luckily.

See? Old lady got around it just fine.

Baby #2 and #3 work on homework together, chatting happily. I always try to cancel it though. I’m just not quick enough.

Jane is down painting in her PJs. This is becoming a usual thing for her.

She attempts to use her physic abilities to mix up her salad. If thats what shes making. I never know. She does make a lot of dishes.

Oh no, it was a holiday meal. The… havestfest one? I’m not sure. I think its fall.

Jane talks her wife’s ear off, sharing a funny story with her.

Jane may be naked, but I always sense a good photo-op.

She meditates, instead of her mother. Too bad, her mother was glowing before.

Zoe gets in the hot tub with… one of her aunts. Sofia? Maria? I can never tell, they both have short hair. Their hair i really glitched though. Mut be a bad piece of cc.

Jane is looking a little big. Is she pregnant? Couldn’t be… But she did get abducted the other night. It an alien pregnancy… Jesus Christ.

Jane visit the spice festival and she is pregnant. I can tell by the walk and everything.

Jane grab a plate of spicy curry and tries it.

Then she remembers to check in – netting like 200k more follower.

Jane eat a hamburger because she till hungry after the fact.

Then she smoke some… juice or whatever the game-friendly term is, and fall asleep.

Whoa, I actually caught her belly sparkle!

Jane: I’m pregnant will an alien baby! Ye!

Not really something you should be excited about, but okay.

Zoe decide to work on her fitness skill next to her mother. Her biological mother, that is. Jane may be her other mother, but sometime I forget it lol

I remember that it spooky day though! o everyone get into costume!

Skla i an atronught! Jane is a pizza girl lol

Emmie is a cheerleader. And she look pretty cute in her cotume.

And Carolyn is a maid! I didn’t know what to make her, but I think it was a good choice.

Jane work more on her Gourmet Cooking skill. She’ almost at level 5, I think!

Then, of course, he goes and make a pizza… There’ perfectly good food on the counter, you know!

Another look at her glowing tummy. It happening more often now, but the baby should be ready to be born any moment!

Wait, now you’re making a pizza? WTF?

Jane, honey, what’ wrong?

Jane: Labor pain. Again.

Oh, you better hurry then.

I hould tell you guy now, I made a plan. If the baby i a girl, we’ll keep her. If they’re a boy, we end them back to their homeworld lol

And they’re… a girl! We’re keeping her (for the kid vote, of course!) he’ named Victoria, for a president I currently can’t remember too much about.

Annnnd it’ baby #3′ birthday! Happy birthday baby #3!

Baby #3: That’s seriously what you’re going with?

Shush and enjoy your cake, you gremlin!

Gremlin #3 pre-makeover

Gremlin #3 pot makeover. he’ very pretty if a do say so myself!

Anyway, I’m so sorry for any mistakes in the writing of this post. I tried to get them all, but I may have missed some. My s key was stuck and I couldn’t use it. But, clearly now I can! I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please leave a like if you did!

8.06 Another Birthday

Jane aged up… Jesus, what is her name?

Here she is post-makeover. She really is a cutie.

Jane goes to the spice festival soon after, and checks in at the bar there. This cutie is spotted, but Jane is already married so shes off limits.

A potential spryo the dragon cosplayer is spotted. Next to Darth Vader. Huh, thats weird cc that I have in my game.

Skyla comes to the spice festival to be with her wife. Shes dressed… kinda fancy anyway.

Back home this little… cutie smiles like she knows shes gonna get into trouble. I don’t trust her but I have no reason not to.

The kids and their grandma have a dance party. I think Carolyn has the longlived trait, so shes not going anywhere anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Jane goes to do some wellness in the family basement. It is nice to have more rooms than sims.

Both Skyla and the brat join the dance party. The kids are already in bed, but oh well.

Emmie takes over meditating, which is kinda a good thing.

Jane struggles to maintain position, which is not a good thing.

Grandma Carolyn rescues the toddler from her grandmother and her mother. Again, not a good thing, but sort of acceptable.

No wait, shes just teaching the brat to talk, I guess.

Jane is working on a cake, I think. I can’t remember. She cooks so many things.

Oh, its her birthday! Spy the child eating her food in the background!

Happy Birthday, Jane!

Now this “old lady” is a full adult. I’m kinda proud of her, but a little sad because I know the elder stage will sneak up on us.

These golden oldies are being cute, basically snuggling on the couch. I’m gonna miss them when they’re gone.

Speaking of snuggling, I quite miss that short animation when two lovers were on the couch together.

Skyla is singing while her mother-in-law practices the violin behind her. Shes really getting into it.

This girl is just a teen. Like hell I’d let my teen run around dressed like this. I’m gonna have to adjust some rando wear.

She faints since Jane is a 3 or 4 star celebrity. That is the proper response.

She does get back up, only to go right back down. At least some people listened to my speech though. Well, Jane’s speech technically.

Back home, Skyla is trying to work on her cooking skill… by making waffles I guess. She gets to level 3 here!

And Jane works on making pizza. Pretty sure its everything pizza that shes making.

She takes the waffles out since they’re done. Skyla can’t be bothered, I guess.

She eats some of the waffle then, with her hands I notice. That doesn’t make me happy, but it is what it is.

Jane then works on her guitar skill. Its terrible, at first, but not so terrible that I don’t listen to her play. Thats actually kinda a trick statement. I wasn’t wearing my headphones for once, so I couldn’t hear anything she was playing.

After shes done ruining my ears playing guitar, she goes for a bath. I catch a picture of her mid-bath, with her tits covered up.

With all this fuss, its suddenly Skyla’s adult birthday. I’m not ready! She can’t be getting older!

Skyla: I look good for my age

You do, but you need some wrinkles to sell the look.

See?! Eating with her hands! Like some kinda animal!

Jane and her mother then go to the basement to paint. I don’t know what Emmie is painting but it looks like something out of a horror movie.

Skyla joins them a few moments later. I just learned to let them be at this point. Who cares what they do, as long as they earn me some points.

After a bit, I realize I need to finish Jane’s aspiration and I send her and Skyla out on a date.

They go to this 50s inspired restaurant and order the steak and ham dinners. And root beer floats. Nothing more 50s than that!

When Jane gets home, its nap time.

Their next date takes place at a club, where Jane still wears her swim suit.

She and Skyla kiss because Jane is half naked anyway. Might as well.

They also bust some moves. Jane has a really good time, in fact.

They finish off the date with some… well, woohoo. How could a night get any better?

Sofia follows them to their next date spot. I don’t remember putting that watch on her btw, but my memory probably has some holes in it.

Whose this cake for this time, Jane?

Jane: You’ll see (:

Once again, because I suck, I fail to get the blowing out the candles shot, however, you lucky folks do get the spoilers of what baby #2 looks like pre-makeover.

And here she is, post-makeover! She’s quite cute if I do say so myself.

But, I believe that wraps up this chapter. Two in one day. Thats quite unheard of with me. After all, I am known to be a wee bit lazy. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. That was the surprise, ending on a birthday. Well it wasn’t THE surprise, but that will be in the next chapter (i believe anyway)

8.05 Sticking to It! Maybe!

Welcome back! We’re greeted by Old Lady Emmie. Which makes me sad ):

The newest toddler/stinker is being carried away by his mother for potty training. She needs it asap since shes not independent.

While Lily learns, Zoe finishes up. I haven’t been focusing so much on toddler skills in the last few generations. I just don’t care after now nine generations lol. Plus its harder with more than one kid. One kid? Extreme focus. More than one? Bah.

Zoe is learning her thinking skill with her tablet. Then she looses it and now I can’t find it in the house.

Superstar Old Lady Emmie is enjoying her freedom, even if she doesn’t look like it. She just has extreme resting bitch face.

Zoe finishes Thinking skill while watching her mothers make out in the dining room. That’s not for your eyes, kid!

Jane looks ready to burst with her third child, even as she teaches Lily her needs. Lily, of course, isn’t super interested. Wonder what she’s having honestly. It better just be one. I had enough of twins last generation.

Alex… That’s creepy. Well, while he’s here, Jane asks him to be in her wedding. He’s the officiant.

Woah there Skyla. You’re looking a little cross-eyed. I think shes jus thrilled to have a child that doesn’t bite her. Oh yeah, Zoe is aggressive and I can’t wait until shes a child.

So only on the Riley file – AND ONLY – I can’t drag dishes anymore and they refuse to wash them. They’ll gather them (usually by themselves since both Emmie & Jane are neat) and then just throw them down. I tested a few of my other save files, and I can grab plates, and sims will wash them. Guess we’re just gonna have a stinky household.

Jane is looking big.

Jane: I feel big.

Carolyn, were you on the treadmill again? That is the face of guilt. I expect her to die because of this, honestly. Not controlling elders can be painful.

The girls have a skilling session in their room. Zoe finishes her communication skill and Lily finishes her imagination. Then Lily is ready to drop so she hurries off to bed.

Zoe quickly takes over the tent now that Lily is gone. She quickly finishes her imagination skill too.

Jane was practicing in the mirror when she finally goes into labor. Emmie just went to work. I wonder if… Emmie will deliver her baby?

Jane: Isn’t this your first hospital birth the entire legacy?

Yes, and probably my last.

Just some rando old lady ):

Our final baby is a girl! Jennifer is her name!

Emmie is spending her freedom stargazing. Huh.

Well its time for birthdays, finally. First is Zoe.

She’s self-assured of course.

Its also baby Jennifer’s birthday too!

Oh my goodness shes adorable.

We’re interrupted by Jane’s eldest sister visiting (what’s her name again? I honestly can’t remember). She’s playing with clay, like a child, I guess.

Zoe chooses to be helpful and clean up a little.

Her younger sister tucks herself into bed like a good girl.

And her even younger sister also tucks herself into bed.

Jane tucks into some leftover birthday cake from… one of the many birthdays.

Her eldest sister makes some pizza.

And while it cooks, she gets out a different piece of cake from a different birthday.

Clean up your plate!! Seriously!

I interrupt this message to bring you Skyla and Jane’s wedding. Doesn’t Jane look stunning in her dress?

And Skyla too! She also looks stunning in her’s! Pretty sure it came with the My Wedding Stories pack though.

Jane’s eldest sister is still preggo, as you can see in the back. Sofie is running for her seat, as I may have just kicked everybody sit down again.

The kiss was lovely, though I noticed Alex didn’t officiate. Oh well.

Jane and Skyla have a walk down the aisle together, as short as it is.

Then everyone gathers for the first dance, which was adorable.

Skyla and Jane kiss again, under what I assume is the full moon. They leave soon after, simply because it was getting late.

At home, of course, Jane goes about her regular routine. Which is surprisingly getting walked in on no less than four times.

To fight off the frustration, she finishes her fitness skill.

Skyla then spends time with her youngest, whose name I cannot remember for the life of me. I gotta write them done next time I open my game.

Little Zoe has fun playing in her treehouse that I totally remembered we built.

Jane chooses to eat yet another slice of cake from the fridge. Cut the cake girl! You’re gonna put on some weight!

Zoe’s Little Sister: Whoa, what time is it?

Time for your birthday!

Jane (in her workout gear once more) works on her cake. Looks like its gonna be chocolate!

Jane: Happy birthday!

I missed the candles being blown out because I suck as a Simmer, but catch this hint of what she looks like!

But ta-da! Heres what she actually looks like after a makeover!

But anyway, this chapter is getting long, so with birthday wishes for the birthday girl, I’ll end it here. Tune in next time for more birthdays (always more birthdays) and a surprise! I hope to finish the next chapter soon but… Its me. I never stick to a schedule.

8.04 Growing Old is Getting Old

Welcome back to the Riley’s! Will I ever get this challenge done? I dunno! Jane is doing laundry though, because the family hasn’t done it in 10 business days.

She gets a promotion at work, but now she needs one million followers. For reference, she only has a little over 100,000 right now. I’m not filled with joy. If shes not doing household stuff, shes glued to her computer.

Household stuff does include tending to her two little monsters… I mean angels. Why are they both in yellow?

To be very fair, it is a cute little family. Its just funny having Zoe look at Lily like “You got it?”

The kitchen receives an upgrade. I usually don’t play with items before I tested them on a fairly clean save, but I don’t think these items will hurt the Riley save (or kill anyone? Maybe?).

It makes me so sad to see Carolyn as an old lady. I really want to keep her forever. She’s been such a good spouse to Emmie.

Are you ready to eat at a restaurant for the last time ever?!

Jane: Oh god, yes!

There are dirty plates everywhere, the staff doesn’t seem to care. At least Jane gets to blog about her being there and gets a very sweet 110k followers. Maybe we’re gonna have to eat out again. Once a day, till we hit our million followers.

Whatever their neighboring table got, its also a bunch of trash.

THE LAST TWO PLATES. TAKE PICTURES, QUICK!!

That’s seven collections done by the way. My goal was only to do five, so I’m feeling pretty good right now.

Jane I swear, its the middle of winter. Get the hell out of the pool.

Jane: Make me, loser!

Emmie gets stuck doing all the cleaning as everyone else needs to go to bed. Its like 2am in game, and everyones tired. She’s not excited for it.

Excuse me ma’am, I just said everyone is in bed. What do you think you’re doing?

Carolyn: Exercising (:

Pls stop before you die.

Time to put your nose to the grindstone and get those million followers, Jane. She stops off at one of the bars in the city. We’re here for two reasons of course.

She tells her subscribers she’s here and runs to grab all the posters…

Then all the snowglobes.

Rinse and Repeat.

By the time she gets home, shes pretty proud of herself. She got about 350,000 followers today. The day isn’t over and shes hungry, so theres plenty of time to get more. She’s sitting at 648k right now, but shes trending so its probably best to get her some more.

I threw down a 50s style dinner and sent her there. She quickly checks in with her followers and got another 90k. Shes sitting at 744k now, and I’m happy knowing she probably get the rest the next day.

This was just too funny; people are crowding around her while she sings and are clapping and cheering. Except the waiter… Whose giving Jane the nastiest look. I had to pause and laugh at this. I love the expressions on Sims’ faces.

Look at these cuties loving on their grandkids. Carolyn is probably so proud that Lily got her redhair.

Emmie decided to make some pizza. I don’t even remember what kind. Its not like the family needs food.

EXCUSE ME MA’AM. I cannot believe this woman.

I don’t know why shes making pizza while… eating the pizza. It caused a fire though, and then just. Chaos.

Jane began screaming, and everyone ran into the kitchen and then for the babies. No one bothered to put out the fire or call anyone to.

Everyone just stood outside freaking out as if the family hadn’t already been through several fires.

Then everyone but Carolyn had work. Poor baby Lily was thrown on the living room floor as most of the adults fled the scene, the fire finally going out on its own. It was chaos, and I really need to install a sprinkler system already.

The moment she’s home from work, Jane gets cleaning. Its quite the mess… everywhere.

And, as always, I want at least three pregnancies. If this is a boy, its a boy. Skyla and Jane won’t be having a fourth child unless something happens to Lily or Zoe. Quite frankly, I already love those two so much. I can’t wait for them to be children and teens so they can actually do things.

Emmie becomes a four-start celebrity, meaning she glows now I guess.

Jane works with Lily so she can sit up by herself. This is the first time they’ve ever done this with her, unless Carolyn has when I wasn’t watching.

Boom, a baby who can get around on her own. Now she scoots all over the place and causes general destruction.

Oh speaking of baby, time to see if that Woohoo worked. Luckily it did! Final baby incoming!

Skyla is not as excited as Jane is.

Speaking of babies, Virginia had a daughter! We’ll visit her sometime soon.

Don’t you just look pleased?

Jane: I have a girlfriend, two kids and a third on the way. I may not have a million followers but everything else is looking up!

Ack, those million followers. Best get back to it.

The only thing of note that happened was Jane ran into Virginia and her sister was told about the third baby. She was not interested in the news.

Back home, I right a second wrong; Skyla and Jane are only girlfriends and they have almost three kids. Guess we’re having a late shotgun wedding.

Skyla, she is heavily pregnant. Should you be jumping into her arms like that???

I am very sad to watch Emmie bake this cake.

Emmie: Finally… Freedom.

Not so fast.

Her last act is to help Lily blow out her candles.

Oh lord, shes wild.

Emmie’s turn ):

She’s a grumpy looking old lady and I love her. I’m gonna say thats enough for this chapter. I’m not sure when the next one will be out. Who knows with me. My life is chaos and I’d just like to finish this challenge. Thanks for coming along for the ride; more Riley’s soon.

8.02 Finally Time!

Welcome back! The lovebirds are exercising together and it reminds me a lot of Eli and Kat.

The Humor & Hijinks Festival rolls around and I have the two of them head there. Jane can now tag her location, and she needs a lot of followers. When she tags herself at the festival it gives her over 2,000 of them. Damn.

They both join the jokesters, and if you need your comedy up, just come to this festival. Over the course of the night, she went from level 6 to 10.

Jane mostly just torments Skyla with the same jokes over and over again. She laughs at all of them. Thats true love I guess.

Oh look, its Kyle. Didn’t realize he was actually good looking tbh. Well, I like Skyla anyway. Not a huge loss in my opinion.

The Jokesters win, and since both the ladies are on the team, the family gets 1,000! Its not a lot compared to what they have, but that’s interesting.

After taking a nap at home, Jane is off again to stare at art at 4am. Shes trying to get through the painting aspiration right now.

She also checks in for another thousand followers. I think the festivals give more since its all to do with city living. She needs 10k followers for her next promotion and she only has like 5k. This career is more annoying than I remember.

Then I discover she can stream. She streams the Sims because its the only way, clearly. She gets 1.5k followers after every stream and after three days, she gets the 10k she needs!

Then I realize that Rebecca and Sophia are about to age up. I meant to have a baby right around the time they left. So, the two head into the rocket and well…

Its baby time!

Look at how happy they are for their first baby! It… better be only one. It better.

The night before her birthday, Sophia decides to light herself on fire. Girl…

Luckily her whole family has her back, and by that I mean Jane has it.

Rebecca and Sophia head to school, and the cake is made. It awaits them.

Rebecca goes first and I miss her candle blowing shot.

Sophia: You won’t miss mine though, right?

I don’t miss Sophia’s, at the very least.

Rebecca Riley is Self Assured, Evil and now Lazy. She also got the Bad Manners and Irresponsible traits. Shes not very nice but I love her anyway.

Sophia Riley is Self Assured, a Vegetarian, and now an Overachiever. She’s also Responsible, has Emotional Control and is a Mediator. They’re both given jobs, money and a house. They take Clarissa with them.

Don’t worry, I realized while typing this that no wedding has been had for Skyla and Jane, so they’ll be back. A baby shower is also coming.

Skyla takes up painting, a right for every single Riley. Those are her PJs. I don’t know, I figure Aliens like sparkly things. I sure as heck know I do.

Emmie is back to upgrading everything now that Clarissa has left us. Always in our hearts, and forever living in Sophia and Rebecca’s home.

Harvestfest comes, and brings us another alien gnome. I swear no new ones have appeared after the first few holidays.

And finally, its time for the baby shower! The entire family is invited!

Emmie grills some fruit-bobs up, knowing that Sophia doesn’t eat meat.

One of the goals is to take pictures, so these two cuties take some selfies. They are so stinking adorable.

Apparently they give gifts without being directed to. Emmie gives Skyla a toy for her future little one.

Look! Some of the family! I miss them all so much already. They look like they’re doing good.

Alex: Please take me back! I hate it out here!

Nope. Sorry, no boys allowed this gen.

Sophia: Alex you coulda never been heir

Jane: Yeah, now lemme tell you this funny story at your expense.

Even soon to be great-great grandpa Kris shows up! Of course in wolf form, despite the fact that the baby is gonna be an alien-mermaid.

Skyla is having a miserable time. She has to pee, she has to sleep, I forgot how hard it is on a pregnant lady.

And… she peed herself. Well, that wrapped up the baby shower, and I sent everyone home. Poor Skyla.

After sleep and getting everyone around, Jane works out and then heads to the Spice Festival. She already has the 10k subscribers she needs, but the festival gives her almost 4k more. I know the top of her career needs like… 1 million? So its better to be ahead.

She harvests some plants, eats some spicy food and goes home. Sadly, we already have all of these plans. Oh well.

No sooner does she get home and crawl back into bed, does Skyla go into labor.

Skyla: This hurts! I don’t wanna do it again!

She makes her way over the the expanded (again) nursery and gives a few pushes.

And its a beautiful baby girl! The new babies look…uh… interesting. Meet baby Zoe! I looked up female social media influencers but nothing about them, so I rather not say exactly who shes named after. If you can guess, yay! If not, don’t worry about it.

Jane interacts with her new daughter exactly once, the day of her birthday. Which… kinda sweet I guess? I should leave you guys hanging, but I can’t.

POOF! An infant!

Here she is, sweet little Zoe who is a sunny infant! Where did those purple eyes come from, Zoe?

I suppose thats where we should leave this chapter. We have a lot about to go on with a new baby in the household, and who knows what will come next? I know I want at least two more pregnancies before I’m happy with the choices. But, I’ll see you next time with more pictures (and probably way too many of Zoe haha).

8.01 Chaos All Around

Welcome back to the first chapter of generation 8, where Jane will be leading us. She looks rather smug about the fact, huh?

She joins her career, and heads to her new bedroom. It was her mothers’ room, but now its her’s. Its mostly because its right next to the nursery. She gets up to her needed 100 followers and then chats with Clarissa for a bit. They actually already really close. I think her best friend is gonna be a robot.

But she has things to do, people to see, and a mate to find.

Jane: But I’m single and lovin’ it?

Don’t care, we need babies.

Jane: Goodbye cruel world. I’m running away so I don’t have to find a partner.

All according to plan.

Off she goes.

And she finds herself safely on Sixam. I’ve not been here in a while and I didn’t miss it. At least its pretty.

Jane spends time collecting things while I look for her alien wife or husband. Every single alien thats wandering around is an elder or adult though. I’m trying to find her someone at least similar in age.

Its about forever before I spot her. Shes got weird taste in makeup but I accept.

With her good manners and skills, Jane is friends with Skyla in a matter of seconds. I love her. Shes not perfect, but shes good enough. The only trait Jane manages to discover about her at first is that shes Active, which is perfect!

While they’re not romantic, yet, they are very cute together. Skyla agrees to move in and we have our alien! And shes gonna be our spouse!

Skyla: I’m gonna be a legacy spouse?

That you are. After we fix your makeup.

Don’t worry about the eyes, its just makeup. So are the “freckles”. Its actually just a starry tattoo! She looks very pretty, in my opinion.

How do you feel about living on Earth instead of Sixam so far?

Skyla: Sim food is weird. I like it.

Look at this cutie playing Sims! Sadly, I think I might send her off with Rebecca and Sophia. With the new update, I realize that the house is gonna be full longer. Sims stay adults for like 40 something days now on normal.

Jane is still enjoying working out. Weird that she doesn’t have that much muscle though.

Skyla, like every alien I’ve ever had join my family, is hot headed. She wakes up angry and ready to fight the world.

Theres no reason to be angry though. Today is Maria’s birthday!

Maria: Wait, is this why mom has been trying to make so much money?

Yes indeed it is. Its so you kids can get an inheritance to move out of the house!

The young adult version of dear Maria. She’s Self-Assured, a Geek & newly Childish.

Now shes ready to take on the world! Maria is given a job in the Tech Guru career and sent to Newcrest just like her siblings. Her house is right next to theirs.

With Maria out of the house, I feel its time for these two to become a little closer. They’re already good friends, so it shouldn’t be hard at all.

It takes almost no time for Skyla to accept a flirt.

And look! Shes literally glowing!

I love these two. They’re my favorite couple to date.

Despite being Single & Lovin’ it, Jane looks really happy to be Skyla’s girlfriend! I keep saying this but I love them and I can’t wait to play out their life together.

Sadly the cute must end. Jane has to go to work, and shes off to the city, just like her grandmother Nancy once was.

Her goal is just to greet people and ask them about themselves today. With her polite greeting thats easy peasy.

Should you still be alive? How is she still alive?

At home, Skyla is exercising. She has the active trait so she loves the gym. However its quite plan and I’m gonna have to decorate it if we’re gonna spend a lot of time here this generation.

When shes done though, she and Jane are all over each other. I keep saying this every generation, but I love them so much. Don’t worry, they’re just making out. No babies yet.

They’re just so in love and its just so sweet.

Skyla and Jane also become best friends. They always talk and seek each other out, which is just sweet. I’m not sure if its the new pack but I’m loving it.

Jane is on a pretty strict schedule though. She wakes up and exercises, eats, bathes and then does whatever the tasks are for work.

Today’s task is to use mischief on five sims. Luckily five people are home so they all get the buzzer.

Upstairs, Clarissa starts a fire and looks pissed about it. Sophia and Emmie put it out before too much panicking is done though.

While Emmie is chewing poor Clarissa out for starting a fire, she starts a midlife crisis. She gets a few tasks she might wanna do to ease the time of the crisis. Normally it’ll last a week, so thats a thing.

The first this she wants is to ride a bike around. Alright then? It’s raining?

Then she wants to build a treehouse. I want one anyway for the next generation. Well, the upcoming one. I’m just hesitant to have kids before the twins are out of the house because I’m already overwhelmed.

Let’s end this chapter with these two being cute once more and cuddling. I love them so so much. This is a mod by the pancakes i believe? Totally worth it. Anyway, next chapter I’ll play until the twins are gone, and we’ll finally start having babies! The first of generation nine! Wow!

7.07 Waiting Game

Welcome back to the Riley’s! I had an extended break from the family but I’m back to discover Emmie escaped her skilling containment. Get back there!

Jane won the heir vote and with the infant update, everyone is super happy for her.

Emmie: I thought I was free.

You’re never gonna be free from me (:

The rocket is looking pretty swell. Now I did try to move them to a bigger lot but I can’t move the house and I’m not making them a new one so they’re stuck here until the end. Meaning, no new town for them. I might use it when I do my next challenge.

As with her mother, Jane graduates high school early and signs up for university. She won’t complete it, I think? She has like 10 days until shes a young adult but we might stick with it until Maria also leaves the house. The youngest twins can be around to help raise her kids.

She has a day or two to wait until she’s accepted so she works her wellness in the meantime.

Since I know who my heiress is, I let the other do as they want, and these three have a meet up in the hall.

Emmie gets to upgrade more stuff. She just works on skills, upgrades stuff with her instant upgrade and moves on.

Morning rush is always hard. Emmie has been setting out a meal for them all to pick from so they don’t all crowd the fridge. They crowd the fridge anyway.

Sophia chooses to try her hand at fitness and it doesn’t look like shes loving it.

Since Jane will be taking over, shes learning to cook for herself. I don’t think she’ll have more than 3 children because wow infants are hard.

Its 2am and I forgot to send Alex to bed but he maxed his Research & Debate skill! Yay! Now you can do whatever you want buddy!

Marie tries to gain votes after voting is over by helping her mother make breakfast. Oh well, she tried.

Jane begins her uni homework, managing to do it all pretty quick. Well, by quick I mean it takes her all day. Shes in four classes to be fair.

After-school kitchen chaos. I’m gonna almost miss it.

Carolyn got promoted! I didn’t realize at first because I was focusing on Jane, but shes a Sim-In-Black now! She hit level 10! Woohoo!

This is like 3 ingame days later, but its finally time for an early morning birthday. Gonna try to get Alex and Virginia aged up before school so I can get them OUT.

Emmie: Its beautiful!

I agree.

Virginia is older so she goes first.

And then Alex!

Virginia is a hot headed, self assured party animal who was the Valedictorian of her class. She also has good manners and is responsible.

Alex is a Self Assured, Childish Perfectionist who graduated with honors. He has good manners, is responsible, a mediator, has emotional control but is insensitive.

I had to move them out with manage world since all the houses are full after 8 generations of one household. They were moved to a cute little house in Newcrest that I downloaded off the gallery. They got some money to tide them over and were given jobs before they left. Good luck you rascals!

How do you feel after giving up two of your babies?

Emmie: Like its time to have more.

NO.

Jane is certainly pleased to have two less siblings. Once Marie goes, we’ll also have her mom make our key weapon for surviving infants – a servo. Plus we need him for the challenge anyway.

Excited to write your term paper?

Jane: Excited to get this term over with.

Virginia must miss the legacy house lifestyle because shes already back, visiting and looking pretty depressed. Carolyn goes out to comfort her oldest. Wow, I can’t believe their oldest is an YA and out of the house. It seems like this gen has gone on forever.

With her term paper done, Jane works on her presentation next. Then she just has to take finals for the rest of her classes.

Carolyn and her evil trait come out to play pretty heavy with this Growing Together pack. Like, she has distant with all of her kids. Its awful. Shes always yelling and being mean to them. Its really trashing their relationships.

To get away from Carolyn and to complete her goals, Jane works on the Research & Debate skill. It would be nice to finish Uni and start way ahead in the career, but at best she’ll get two semesters done. I suppose she’d only need two more…

I’m also realizing that me changing my defaults for infants changed some sims’ eye color. I’ll have to go back and check who had what, because I’m pretty sure that Jane had Emmie’s grey eyes.

She did, and as you can see here they’re changed back. She’s really moving up with Research & Debate. She won’t finish it, but at least it helps with school work.

Finals are coming up, so she goes downstairs to study in the art room while her mother paints. I’m trying to make some fast cash for points, since we’ve been stuck at about 500k for two gens. Then again, our bills are 20k with the frugal trait.

Speaking of the household, after a few days of painting, I freed Emmie so she could go make the Simbot a reality. Maria ages up right after Jane, and we have two free spots right now, so why not?

Emmie throws some switches as soon as the bot is done.

Its alive! Its alive!

Emmie welcomes the Simbot to the family, giving us 3 more points. I named her Clarissa. Dunno why, just seemed a fitting name for a Simbot.

Then I changed her to gold. Again, not sure why, it just seemed fun. This is the first time I played with a Simbot, honestly.

Shes a good helper though, and she gets to repairing, cleaning and cooking. Shes honestly gonna be such a burden off poor Jane’s back when she starts to have kids.

Jane finishes her finals, coming out of the semester with an A. Her birthday is three days away so I opt to not return. Its just something to build her skills while I wait. She really did build them. Her charisma is at like 6 and her comedy at 5.

Clarissa: I made food!

You are perfect and I love you. You will never do any wrong.

Emmie is still locked in the basement, painting away. The family sits about 550k right now, but I’ll wait until later to count it for points.

Its almost your birthday. Are you excited?

Jane: Nope.

Fair.

Though, Jane does make her own cake. I’ve been letting her to her own devices without Uni and shes spent most of that time in the pool.

Happy birthday Jane!

Jane is now a YA. She got the Active trait, making her Neat, Self Assured & Active. She also got the Emotional Control, Mediator, Responsible, and Good Manners traits. All and all, shes shaping up to be an excellent Sim. She’ll be doing the Social Media career (as if I haven’t said that enough lol). Onwards to the next generation!

Gen 8 Heiress Vote Result

Its been two weeks and I’m back with the results!

I’m pretty surprised but Jane wins with six votes! I will be starting the next part of the legacy before infants come out, but no babies until afterwards. I’ll probably take a few days to test them first, and make sure my game isn’t gonna implode with this update. So, I’ll see you soon with another look at the life of the Riley’s!

7.06 The MEGA Chapter

So I’m going to try to make this the last chapter before the heir vote, so that way that can get done! I gotta get all the girls to at least teen, so its probably gonna be a long chapter, or theres gonna be a lot of skipping. Probably a lot of skimming over thing.

Emmie is working on repairing everything in the house so she can make it all unbreakable. Shes got level 8 handiness.

Alex and Virginia do homework for the first time as teens. They’ll be home pretty much alone today. All the children have school, Emmie has work and Carolyn will sleep most of the day.

Virginia helps out by vacuuming the dusty ass house. Emmie literally does not have enough time in the day.

Alex works on a skill, research & debate. He needs to max a single skill before he leaves the house but it’ll probably be painting.

The toddlers got their skills done, surprisingly. I did grind a little bit with them. Their birthday is two days away, so we have some time to wait.

BUT GUESS WHO GOT HER FINAL PROMOTION. THATS RIGHT, EMMIE!

Emmie: I hate technology and you’re going to fill my house with it.

Yup!! Nothing is locked anymore! We’re good to go!!

We buy like five of those 10k computers and throw them on every desk in the house, and we buy this. When Alex (at least) is kicked out, we’ll make servo.

Virginia trying to win points from the audience by being the best freaking big sister.

While we bought enough upgrade parts to last the family forever. Emmie is forced to upgrade everything in the house and shes miserable.

JACOB DON’T YOU DARE.

The house goes through some major renovations by the way. Rooms are deleted, the graveyard was too. I wasn’t happy with it so now they have a pond-like pool in the backyard.

Its an instant hit, though, I might add some tables out there so they don’t eat at the pool.

The kitchen also got a change up and I am personally so much happier with it. The backyard still needs some work, but as you can see theres a wrap around porch. I have to stop myself from tearing the entire place down and retrying honestly.

Virginia takes up the family skill of painting. She needs something at level 3 for school and this is an easy one.

Emmie: My babies are becoming children

GOOD. NO MORE.

First up, Rebecca.

Then Sophia. My game has had bad lag issues lately, because my computer is ):< bc the house is huge and covered in junk, so I sometimes miss shots. Oh well, what can ya do.

This is Rebecca! Shes Self-Assured but I doubt you needed me to tell you that.

And Sophia. You can certainly tell they’re identical twins in this shot. I can’t wait until they get their second traits and get more of their own personality! The rest of this chapter might be very skip-y because I’m trying to get to their birthdays before I end it. I want to put up that darn heir vote!

Carolyn looks victorious as she has just finished her Fitness skill! Now she has the long lived trait!

Why is the dolphin cry so strange looking. Emmie is already level 6 of robot making and shes still a young adult. She has so much time to finish more skills.

She made a little robo cleaner. He is not named and I am taking suggestions.

Emmie doesn’t get much time for robot making over the next day as everything in the house breaks.

There are only a million messes to clean, and she really only gets time when all the kids leave for school.

We are constantly making food. Even the party servings can’t keep the household fed for long.

Not to mention this dust is just getting annoying. Oh look, an two unpainted walls. Wonder how that happened lol

Finally its time for all the kids to get the hell out. Emmie takes a vacation day because theres just so much to do and her career is topped.

First thing she gets done is bakes a cake for herself and blows out the candles. Its finally her adult birthday!

Emmie: Yay! Makeover time!

Looking graceful as ever as an adult. Have I ever said how much I love Emmie? Shes really really grown on me.

Hell has arrived. Emmie and Carolyn start with the oldest and as projects get done, everyone splits up to help the others.

Before long we’re moving on to actual homework, with projects littering the yard.

After homework, any kids that still have energy are forced to skill, like Sophia here.

Don’t worry, Jane and Rebecca are skilling too in their own ways. Jane actually finishes the creativity skill here which is super pleasing. More points! Man do I have to update points.

Emmie is taking on Knitting. I’ve never really done much with it and I want to learn for… uh reasons.

And its finally time for another birthday! Jane’s! Happy Birthday!!

She’s… oh my god. She’s gorgeous! She got the Neat trait, so shes now Self-Assured and Neat.

Alex is just standing back there watching all his sisters age up and go in the running to be heir. Seriously, if anyone wants him, you can have him! Just treat the poor guy well!

Emmie what the hell are you doing

Oh making thanksgiving meal. Or whatever its called in the sims. Peek the bigger table they now have.

It can fit everyone, though Maria and Sophia/Rebecca refuse to sit down. I can’t remember which one has short hair. I think its Sophia.

Jane: I’m gonna be a legend.

You’re going to overwork yourself, love. She’s now a cheerleader and needs fitness skill.

Maria maxes out her mental skill. Is it Maria or Marie? Man I’m getting the kids names so messed up this generation.

Harvestfest comes to a close, and the gnomes end their day fascinated at the generations of art on the wall.

Since she has to rest between workouts, Jane also takes up the singing skill.

Emmie & Carolyn return to going on their dates now that the kids are pretty grown up. Get you a person who looks at you like Carolyn does Emmie. They’re so cute and in love yet!

Back home Sophia finishes her creativity skill. Just birthdays and skills in this chapter!

And finally its Marie’s birthday! That means only two (one technically) left for the chapter!! Happy birthday!!!

I can already tell thats some bad cc….

Marie got the Geek trait to go with her self-assured. How could I not give her the N7 hat? Its from Mass Effect for those not fans of the series. (Basically me until recently, oof).

A couple of the merkids have a little party out at the pond. Jane snoozes and Alex swims little laps around her.

Emmie has maxed yet another skill. Robotics this time.

Emmie: Can I please stop now?

Nope.

Puberty strikes poor Jane the next morning. A quick face cleanser and shes looking better.

Virginia?! Why are you on your mothers’ bed, doing your homework? That’s weird!

Of course, Carolyn doesn’t really care because she just maxed her logic skill! Shes also level 9 in her career. We haven’t had a spouse finish their career in a long time!!

Emmie finishes Knitting too and begins to work on baby clothes for whoever is gonna bring her grandbabies.

Its kinda cute to see Jane and Carolyn working out together. They’re both always in the gym, one way or another.

Victoria finishes her one required skill to leave the house – painting. You can see one of the many painting she finishes on the wall next to her.

Winterfest arrives, and the family spends the day decorating the tree together. This is such a cute interaction, I love it.

Then they admire the lights together and sing a carol to their new tree.

With knitting finished, Emmie is onto the next one. Rocket Science! For no particular reason of course.

Alex please, theres so much food in the fridge.

Alex: Actually there isn’t.

Oh boy.

Emmie already took the day off to upgrade everything she could get her hands on, so I have her whip up about eight plates of food.

She also does the laundry that has been piling up. Eight sims go through a lot of clothing.

Its not until well after midnight does she start the last dish. A very special one. That’s right, its finally time and Emmie is thanking the simming gods that this is it for her. No more nightmares!

After putting candles on the cake, I notice how dirty the counter is so Emmie gives it a quick scrub and calls the twins down.

Rebecca, the oldest goes first!

Then Sophia!

Rebecca gets the Evil trait. Oh good gosh. This pretty girl, evil? More likely than you think.

And Sophia who rolls the Vegetarian trait. The only way the could be even more of an opposite is if Sophia rolled the Good trait.

But alright, thats it for this MEGA chapter. We’re done. Wrap it up. The heir vote will be up on all sites promptly. You can get multiple votes, so if you really love one of the girls ensure you check out Boolprop, the Sims forum, and here on WordPress! I’ll like the other votes here on WordPress. But alright, thank you for reading!! Enjoy your day/night!
