For those who live under rocks or don’t bother with games other than The Sims, I guess I should inform you that I’m going to be missing awhile. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out the day before my birthday and in-between work and raiding on an MMO, I’ve been dedicating all my free time to it! So, there won’t be any updates for awhile given my work schedule and my inability to play anything else at the moment, haha.
I did, however, upgrade my computer considerably and am now in the possessions of a high-end sandy bridge processor. If that doesn’t make The Sims 3 run like a dream, I don’t know what will. So, I am excited to see how the game runs on my new system, but not entirely ready to go through the toils of setting up that separate install quite yet.
I’ll be back soon enough to finish off this legacy… I’ve just got to burn out my Skyrim obsession a bit more.
Happy Holidays!
Whew, it’s been awhile. Unfortunately, I’ve had a bevy of issues to deal with since I got back. My eyes are getting worse (and then better, and then worse), so it’s hard for me to read/write/do anything on the computer. Secondly, I’m about to find a new host, because my current one is driving me insane with all the issues/etc. Thirdly, I leave this Thursday again for a week and I’m not prepared. At all.
Anyway, on with the sims. The text will be limited. I can’t see for crap and so I apologize beforehand for spelling errors and very bad pictures.
As you can see above, Noelle is pregnant again.

We rejoin the Astrums at a rather… awkward time. Looks like it won’t be long before the next generation comes into play… provided Noelle can stay awake.
Altair: ‘Do you mind?’
Noelle: ‘Could you be anymore intrusive??’
I just call it like I see it. Is the romantic fizzle gone already? All right, I’m going…

Sorry for the random outages. There was a huge spam attack on my site and all kinds of things went nutty and my host shut it down. I had to spend a lot of time talking back and forth with a tech, trying to root out all the spam crap from my many, many directories.
Everything is above board now, so it shouldn’t happen again.
Phew!
We rejoin the Astrum family in the midst of a very serious conversation… about sculpting. Seriously?
Gaston: ‘You need to sculpt me. The world needs to remember my awesome.’
Lyra: ‘…in your pajamas?’
Gaston: ‘Of course! It’s stately, it shows my authority!’
Lyra: ‘More like your senility…’

Generation eight begins with the transition of our latest heir, Altair. I definitely can’t complain about his traits, as they are a good mix of things I find reasonable to play, haha. As far as looks go, I think he looks a lot like Lyra, though he definitely has Gaston’s nose.

Oberon transitions into a child who definitely looks like he belongs in the family! He’s got his dad’s eyes, which definitely adds something to the look. Much like his dad, he also likes wasting entirely too much time playing video games.

Aww, what’s wrong, Lyra? You look a little puzzled.
Lyra: ‘What did you do to my son’s hair?’
It’s a mohawk! Isn’t it cute?
Lyra: ‘…he’s a toddler.’
Which is what makes it so cute! I didn’t even know I had it, I found it while trying to give him a decent hair style. I’m just going to blame her dislike of it on her very pregnant belly you can only barely see in this picture.

Everyone is preparing for the wedding of the seventh heiress, Lyra. Lyra and Aludra spend this time dancing while Theia pours herself a stiff drink. You’d think she was the one getting married!
The last wedding was a quiet, subdued affair, so I thought I’d give this couple a bit more of a real ceremony. Wu wasn’t happy with them all being clustered on one beach, her being a Loner and all, but she’ll get over it!

Behold! The heiress of generation seven… Lyra. She’s cute, she definitely has a lot of her mother’s features, though I think she looks quite a bit like Pollux. It’s nice to see some fresh looks in this house. I’m kind of glad Aludra and Pollux chose to mix it up with some locals from China!
Unfortunately, our heiress’ first thought upon turning YA is about Aludra. Scary. She wants to become Leader of the Free World… I wonder if Aludra had any influence over that?

Friendly, Evil, Good Sense of Humor, Savvy Sculptor, Charismatic
