So my game is crashing thanks to the new update… but just for my legacy! D; So Basically… I’m going to have to put them on hold until they give a new update… and possibly forever. D; So basically…. I’m going to start a new legacy. I hope you guys will follow it just as faithfully as the other one… but I don’t think that Clayton will ever get to have babies of his own, and we’ll never know how long it takes to get rid of the vampire gene. I hope you guys enjoy a new update that’s coming to you (hopefully) this weekend!

So Sad, So Sad.
So… I played, I swear! I really did.. however….. my game decided to crash and I’ve yet to find a cure. So the probable cure is simple: update your **** game. Well, here’s the problem: I’m at school, at school they have this special thing that has to work to get online, and it’s not working. Also, the only people who can fix it, GOT TOMORROW OFF BECAUSE OF SNOWWW!11!!1!1 -_________________- Yeah, I know. I’m supposed to love snow, right? Well here’s this issue: no school = OMG I GET TO PLAY SIMS, however, no update = no sims. D; So as I cry myself to sleep tonight, just pray that my computer fixes itself. If you have any idea of how to fix it, that’d be cool too!
Anyways, byee! See you soon!
Oh, and I know who the heir(ess) is.
February 5, 2012
Chapter Fourteen: Birthdays, Birthdays, Missed Birthdays, AND AN HEIR POLL!
Well hello there! This chapter has taken a little longer to come around than I would have liked, but between studying for tests, watching Castle and reading the Hunger Games (OMG SO GOOD), I have been trying to get this generation up to teens so we could vote for the heir!
So, that being said, yes, this is a somewhat lengthy chapter (for me). Onward!

Well hello there! As you may (or may not) remember, this is Claudette, the most recently born Alphabetacy! She is being held by our butler (for now) Francesca! :)

“Damn you grandma, WHY do you have to put me in time out?!?!?”
This is so funny to me. Her time out was to go stare at the wall.
Oh, and why did she get put into time out? Well, she skipped school duh! >.<

Aw, Cohen knows how to take care of his siblings.
So sweet. He’ll be a good daddy someday.

The first ghost to show up on the lot is none other than my hubby! (No, I could NOT leave my tombstone and my hubby’s behind in the mausoleum, so they happily joined the rest of the Alphabetacies.

Oh, and the second and third ghosts? Alaric and Sheba.
Oh how I miss them. :/ I’ll see you all someday!

“You are mine I say! Mine! Dammit woman! Get away from my onion!!”
Oh Mayra, please don’t fret, there are plenty more onions for you to get in the future.

OH NOES! *quickly saves game so it doesn’t crash*

“WHY MUST THIS LADY GOOO!?!?”
Shut up! She’s not even your heir’s wife!

“Please don’t take me away! D; D; D;”
Kerri, I’ve been here… A BILLION times already, your time is done.

Oh, and Claudette grew up! ![]()
“Mehhhh. I like my noseeee.”

“Come on Clayton, you can do it! We’re gonna get you walking in no time!”
Aw, Clayton’s bald…


The costume box is so cute. Excuse the walls-down-ness. Carleigh decided to grow up in the bathroom… -.-

“My belleh is so big!”
Why yes, she IS pregnant!
YAY FOR MORE BABIES!

“Ohhhh.. something feels wrong….”
Yeahh… BABY’S COMING!

“They didn’t teach me all of my skills…. -___-”
Aww, poor kid. Anyways, Clayton grew up and gained ambitious!

Because you haven’t seen Carleigh yet…. ![]()
“Carleigh, I just wanted to tell you that you’re great, and you don’t have to walk around in your bathing suit to get guys!”
“Look Fluffs, I love you, but I like walking around half naked, it makes dad cringe.
“
Carleigh gained neat as a trait.

“Hey dad, can you read me a bed time story? I have a perfectly good bed upstairs, but I feel like sleeping in my deceased grandparents bed instead.”

“Of course Clayton.”
Mehhh. Cute.

Cohen brought home Norma Lobos-Crosby. Honey, you really need to change those pig tails. Oh, and I’d really appreciate it if next time, you decide to hang out with Cohen when you come over instead of spending the ENTIRE time doing HOMEWORK! -___-
“What? He was supposed to be tutoring me.”

Aww, Caitlyn grew up.
So, I know I know this is the first picture of her, so here she is, Caitlyn. She’s good and excitable and she likes soul music, cobbler and blue.

Cohen brought home two more ladies, Sonia Broke-Simovitch in the green dress and Bobbie Bullard in the adventure outfit.

“Ew, no. I have a boyfriend loser.”
Yeah, Sonia has a boyfriend. :/

“Would YOU likes these roses Bobbie?”
“Of course! They’re beautiful! But I have to go home, BYES!”

How can you just stand there with Mayra laying dead on the counter behind you!?!?
“She’s just pretending, geesh.”

“I want everyone to know that my tree house is a place for all that aren’t weird and old!”
Yeah, I gave in and got a tree house.
(this is Claudette by the way.)

Aww, look at how cute Caitlyn is.
She’s so precious. >.<

This is Caitlyn and Claudette’s bed room.
Since they both don’t like the same color, I had to split the room into two colors. But they’re both cute so it’s okay

“Alright Caitlyn, can you say “mommy”?”
“Momma!”

Cohen grew up.
He gained the flirty trait. ![]()
“I feel the intense urge to make a lot of money…”

OMG A SNAKE! I hate snakes…. >.<

“What is this intense urge to drink blood that I can’t do unless I’m at home!?!?”
Well, that’s what we call being vampire. Anyways, Cohen graduated as Valedictorian and ‘Most likely to save the world’.

Yay! Clayton’s growing up! (His imaginary friend is happy for him)

So I’m having Cohen work at the chemistry table, because he’s smart and good at it. No, I do NOT have an anterior motive…

This was not my reason…. okay so it was, you caught me! D;
“Here Fluffs, how about you drink this potion, I’m sure it won’t hurt you at all!”

“I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WOULDN’T HURT!”
Since when do bubbles hurt?

“Ewww… look at his hair…. >.<”

MUCH better.
So, this is Fluffs. He can’t stand art, is neat, a daredevil and eco-friendly! He likes kids music, ratatouille and the color black. LOOK AT HIS EYES!

So did I tell you Clayton rolled the LTW to become an Illustrious Author (max painting/writing)? Yeah, well. This picture is to show him gaining it…. -___- damn vampires.

“Carleigh, I’ve loved you ever since I met you.. will you be my girlfriend?”
“OMG YES!”
<3

“I GET TO GROW UP GUYS!!”
Toddlers are so cute.
And so I accidentally forgot to take pictures of Caitlyn as a child… and at her birthday… and at Claudette’s birthday… >.< Like I said, I was trying to get to another heir poll so I can get on to the next generation! So… here they all are, let’s vote!

“Oh, just waking up in the morning, about to go to work as a journalist, drinking some blood, that’s all.
“
Will it be Cohen, the eldest son who is flirty, a loner daredevil genius who’s excitable? He wants to “Live in the lap of luxury” (be worth $314,000). He’s destined to be unhappy with whoever he decides to be with, and destined to work at a job that he doesn’t like until he’s worth a ton of money.

“Gosh, I hope Fluffs marries me…”
Or will it be Carleigh who loves the outdoors, is clumsy, neat and never nude? She’s bound to be with the love of her life, Fluffs.

The boy with beautiful eyes, genes and hair. He can’t stand art, is a daredevil and neat, and eco-friendly. He wants to become a Creature Robot Cross Breeder (reach level 9 of the science career).

“Babe, I know Cohen’s gonna make another potion so I can transform you so we can get married soon!
“
Or will it be Clayton, the brave, virtuoso party animal who is ambitious? He wanted to max writing and painting, and did! So his LTW is already completed… kinda annoying, but I’m sure he’ll have lots of parties.

“Hmm… I wonder where my invisible friend is…”
Or will it be Claudette? The clumsy bookworm who is eco-friendly and athletic? She has Jared’s red hair, so that’s exciting.

Or how about Caitlyn who is beautiful and amazing? She’s adventurous, absent-minded, good and excitable. :)
“One of these days, I shall go and adventure lots and lots.”
No matter who wins, I shall make sure that they are interesting, because… gardening was fun at first…. but it’s not anymore. :/ Yes, I am in fact using my legacy to explore different tracks of and opportunities that come up in the game.

Well, on that note I shall leave you all!
“You better vote for my kids, or else I’ll have to go cut you!”
Yeah, she grew up.
Poor Brynn, married to a man who is still a young adult, and she’s old. :/ I’m sad that they never rolled the want to turn her into a vampire… :/ Oh well.
Anyways! LET’S VOTE! Vote at the link below, and I’ll love you forever.
Until next time, ciao!

Chapter Thirteen: Babehs and Fake Death
So I was just thinking that… WHY IS THERE AN ECHO!?!? OH!! Is this thing on? Oh, well HELLO THAR! Welcome back to another exciting (and quick) update for Not Another Alphabetacy! I’m your host, and I know you were totally wondering this, but yeah those girls from the last chapter? They didn’t finish pre gaming by the time I was done writing the chapter.
DISAPPOINTMENT. Anyways, last time we had some babies, I misnamed one of them in the last chapter and corrected it, (I named the girl Carleigh not Claudette) and we got a butler!

“So Keon, I was thinking that maybe the stars will one day fall on us. Or maybe the Grim Reaper will come and try to take us away, but my awesome computer crashing skills will fend him off and let me live longer!”
“Right Ms. Alphabetacy, you keep thinking that, and I’ll just walk away and make some food!”
Yeah, so every time Kerri dies, my game crashes…. I mean, it’s good for me because it means that she’ll be able to get her LTW, but if she does it again, I may just kick her out and let her die then go collect her tombstone at the mausoleum. She’s 110 days old right now… Oh, and you know how the butler calls the household to meals? It’s really annoying when your VAMPIRE who gets NO HELP from sim food stops what he’s doing to go eat like fifty times a day. -.-

Apparently Mysterious Mr. Gnome died and this is his tombstone. Karl was at the funeral, it was a very beautiful ceremony (I think).

Aw, Carleigh is so cute.
She has an imaginary friend! ![]()
“I wub you mr. cuddles!”


Cohen grew up! He gained the Genius trait.
He’s such a cutie! (and a vampire!)

“Come on honey, just step a little farther for daddy, I just want you to grow big and strong and be able to move fast like me too!”
“Ouch! It hurts daddy!”

“One day, I will be ruler of the world because I will have so many potions the world will want to buy them all from me!”
Right, well. I thought being a genius, having Cohen do chemistry would be beneficial.
I mean, he maxed logic in about five minutes real time. So… that’s good. And I want to turn Carleigh’s imaginary friend into a real person.

“Hey hot stuff, what are you doing here by the coffee pot?”
“I don’t know, what are YOU doing here by the coffee pot?”

“That tree is really ugly. Why do you have it inside your house?”
“Because my creator decided that we needed more color inside our house, and green is a color.”

“But it’s so ugly!”
“Is the square root of 9801 99 or 98?”
Everyone this is Sonia Broke-Simovitch. She’s not related, and possibly a future spouse.. if Cohen’s not gay and if she you know, grows hair/turns out pretty.

“I really hope Sonia grows up pretty, she’s cool. Or you know, that I meet someone cool who’s prettier than Sonia. And rich. I like them rich.”
So in case you haven’t figured it out already (how could you?) Cohen rolled his LTW and it’s “Living in the Lap of Luxury” and since we only had about $100,000 more to go, I thought “hey, why not!?!” Well, the amount keeps changing… -.-

“Hey hot stuff, what are you doing after work?”
“Work? What do you mean AFTER work?”
*cough* “You know, I don’t have all day, right?”

“Can I sell you all of this fruit?”
“Considering you scared my boyfriend off, I guess. -.-”
So this lady took over for that incompetent guy that’s been working here forever. I wonder what happened to him… too bad I don’t remember his name so I can’t look him up, lol.

“Can you say ‘art’?”
Trying to get her while she’s young, huh? Well, I hope I get an artist soon so I can do portraits… ha.

That must be a bumpy ride! I mean look at how non round those tires are!

“DON’T LOOK AT ME!”
Cohen had the opportunity to go and research the super market, and Clint Lobos-Broke stares at him as he goes in… CREEPY!

Because I didn’t show you his room before, this is Cohen’s room. I did it in his favorite color (hot pink) and added a bit of boyish to it by making it dinosaurs… but it’s still really really girly… *sigh*

“*urghrugh* Acid reflux sucks…”
Because THAT’S what this is. It’s totally not from you and Marvin flirting earlier in front of the coffee maker, huh?

“Gardening, gardening, gotta tend my garden-y.”
Yeah, this is to show that she found LIFE FRUITS and FLAME FRUITS! I’ve never had these, so pardon me for being excited.
(I know I can’t use the life fruits, but still!)

“Why is it so hard to play the piano?!?”
I don’t know, but hey! At least you’ve maxed out the other musical skills!

“You know, that tree is REALLY ugly.”
FINE I’LL GET RID OF IT WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT IT!
“Look, I don’t really pay attention to the decorations in this house, normally I pay attention to you know, my chemistry set.”
Nerd<3. Oh, and this is Aisha Jones-Shallow. Another possible future spouse.

“WHEEEEE!”
Marvin! You’re supposed to be helping your wife tend her garden! What are you doing!?!?
“If I do this close enough to the plants, it counts as watering them right?”
NO!

“Rahh!”
So I didn’t know that toddler sims could do this, but apparently, vampire toddlers can practice sucking blood out of their imaginary friends. WHAT!?!? It’s cute.

“How’s mommy’s little vicious vampire? Are you good baby?”
“Mommy blood taste good!”
No sims were hurt in the process of this particular picture. ;D

“Well damn, that didn’t go as planned.”
Well, at least you’re not on fire!

“Now Mr. Raccoon, keep away from my precious garden, these fruits are not for you!”
Raccooon!
Sorry, I didn’t realize they added all of these cool animals when they made Pets!

“Achhh I mean BABY TIMEEEEE.”
I think it’s funny that she’s wearing that bathing suit, making it easier for the baby to come out of her stomach I suppose.

“But I’MMM the baby. They can’t replace me!”
Aw Carleigh, they won’t replace you, just give you another sibling for you to play with/practice biting!

“What’s that woman doing with a baby? I thought my doctor said women couldn’t have babies anymore!?!”
Um, Cecilia Lambert, I’m pretty sure your doctor said ‘women your age couldn’t have babies anymore’. Anyways, everyone this is Clayton, he is brave and a virtuoso who likes pop music, ratatouille and hot pink. Again, what is up with you and having boys who like the color hot pink Brynn?
“My plants are all the other colors, so maybe they choose what they’re not near!”
Doubtful, but maybe.

“Oh okay, you can have some if you insist.”

OMGZZZZZ! I have TWO vampire gnomes! I know you’re jealous. Like super jealous. JJ is the one that’s closer, and the one in the background (in the ‘garage’) is Mayra. KARL HAS FRIENDSSSSS.

“Nom nom people are nummy.”
Toddlers are so cute.

HOW MANY KIDS WILL THEY HAVE? Well, you don’t know, but I do.
My asked my friend how many more kids to have, and he gave me a number. And here’s a hint: they haven’t reached it yet. >.<

“In my court, all of the knights and rooks must move at the same pace,”

“I am the only one allowed to win,”

“And all others shall perish!”
Teehee, I love generations.
Best expansion pack EVAR!

Aww. I love it when they garden together at night because he’s a vampire.


Carleigh grew up, she’s cute. :) Oh, and she gained the never nude trait.

And this is her bedroom. I put green in there with it because I can’t stand just white. It would be too bland for me.

“Little brother, I despise you for being cuter than I am.”

For some reason Keon left… so I had to hire a new butler! Everyone say hello to Francesca! She’s pretty. Well, she has a few good features.

He gained his vampire skin after the first day. Apparently vampires aren’t vampires until the second day of their life, lol.

“Well.. that was a waste of time.”
Brynn got the Gardening Hero’s Trophy! It’s basically for being awesome at gardening, lol.



Cohen grew up! He gained the ‘daredevil’ trait.
So he’s a genius daredevil. YAYYY.

And this is just the manliest shot of him ever.

WHY MUST YOU GO INTO LABOR IN THE MOST AWKWARD PLACE?!?!?

Look at all the vampires infesting my town! At least Lara Shepherd-Bullard [somehow related to my simself(who is dead)] looks happy!
Oh! You wanted me to introduce the baby, huh? Yeah, this is Claudette (lol!) she’s clumsy and athletic (how will that work out?) and she likes classical music, autumn salad and the color turquoise.

And then Clayton grew up! :)
So this is where I shall leave you. I played all day yesterday, and my dad decided to visit today so I didn’t get the opportunity to play today. So let’s hope my homework load next week is as light as the one this week (it won’t be). So I’ll update as soon as I can! Comments, questions, concerns are always welcomed!
Also, let’s ponder:
When will Kerri FINALLY die?
When will they stop having kids!?!?
Who will be the heir?!?!
Will all of the kids be vampires?
How long will it take for me to get the vampire gene out of my gene pool? (that’s actually a really good, interesting I’m gonna test it question, lol)
Well, see you next time!
January 21, 2012
Chapter Twelve: A Hospital Death
Hello and welcome back to another exciting installment of Not Another Alphabetacy! We have lots coming your way, including LOTS OF COMPUTER CRASHES! -.- Seriously, I played through this five times before it finally didn’t die (or I saved it every day so it wouldn’t). Oh, and then my laptop battery died, because my power cord decided to stop working. YEAH, you BETTER love me for this, lol.
Oh, and I’m doing this late at night, hoping by the time I finish this the girls upstairs decide to stop jumping off of their beds onto the floors and singing old overplayed songs loudly enough to wear I can hear them, FROM THE NINTH FLOOR! Oh, and in case you were wondering, I’m on the third. Yes, I can hear them from SIX FLOORS UP. Ughh. -___- Anyways, ONWARD!

“Shhhhh! I wish all of those party people would just shut up! Some of us need to get homework done!”
This is Jude Broke-Crosby. Doing homework. At the wedding (yes, it’s still going on because Marvin and Brynn decided to leave during the middle of it… ha).

“So uhh… I think something just happened, but I’m not quite sure what it was.. in the middle of vomiting, loud music started playing, I started rubbing my stomach and I was told I had four days off of work! Hmm… I feel like the plants wouldn’t appreciate that much…”
That’s right folks! Little Brynn is pregnant! Although you can’t tell because… she just rubbed her stomach so there’s no bump, lol. So yeah, Brynn is pregnant and generation C is on it’s way!

“WHY DID YOU TURN OFF THE TV!?!?”
It was loud and annoying me.
“But it’s TVV!!!”
Eh, you can’t even see it from there!
“Well, at least I have this ladybug to entertain me! Don’t die precious friend!”
Karl is for reals my favorite gnome EVER!

“Hey Willis! How are you getting so high?”
“It’s because I’m yelling louder than you and waking more people up!”
“OH! YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?!?”
“EXACTLYY!!”
Yeah, Bernard and Willis stayed the night after the wedding… uninvited… and continued to talk loudly and jump on the trampoline annoying me because I kept hearing them and thinking someone was up… *sigh*

“Oh, honey! What is this?”
“It’s a plasma fruit, the only one I have. I thought you’d be able to plant it and maybe grow lots of plasma fruit bushes so I can eat them?”
“Of course baby! I’ll do anything for you!”
Daw.

“Yeah, so I have like 128930890 pieces of produce. Where would you like it?”
“Uhh.. whut?”
Yeah, I’m so glad we didn’t marry this guy in.. he’s rather.. dumb.

“Dum de dum, just checking the mail during the middle of the day like any normal vampire.”
‘Vampires shouldn’t be outside. Marvin should really go inside’
GO INSIDE!
“BUT MY WIFE’S TAXI DRIVER JUST HIT THAT MAID’S TRUCK! AND SHE’S PREGNANT!”
I’M SURE SHE’S FINE, GET INSIDE BEFORE YOU DIEEEE!
“Sigh.. sometimes being a vampire sucks…”
“Yeah, so you are NOT getting a tip!”
“You weren’t going to give me a tip anyways.”
“Touche, but now you won’t even get a thanks! Thanks, DAMN!”
I raised my sims with good manners.
So, yeah. Taxi driver needs to be fired….


“I think I hear it honey!’
“Marvin, you can stop calling him an ‘it’, we already had my dad check the sex of the baby, and we’re having a boy.”
Way to ruin the surprise for the readers Brynn! Oh well, you don’t know what I’m gonna name him yet! So Marvin and Brynn are definitely my favorite couple so far.

“Hmm.. this is a nice place, I may try to buy it someday!”
So while Brynn was pregnant, she had the opportunity to go to the Diner and deliver twenty great fruit. Do you know many great fruits she has? They’re like the scum of what she has, she’s such a good gardener!

“Umm… my stomach feels slightly… painful.”
LABOR TIME! Brynn, you’re going to scar that kid for life by having him in the garden!
“But I can’t leave my poor planties! Who would take care of them1?!?”
-____- FINE! But just this once! (In actuality, I let her choose whether she goes to the hospital or not).

Everyone welcome to the world little Cohen Alphabetacy. He is an excitable loner who likes classical music, Goopy Carbonara and the color hot pink. Wow, that doesn’t scream gay… great, I might have to download the mod for that… >.<

“YOUR’E GOING TO TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM ME! PICTURE STEALER!”
Adonnis doesn’t approve of having a baby in the house…
******FREEZE! It’s WiiFit time!******
Okay, so I’m back. And just saying, my mom gave me these chocolate straws for christmas (they’re plastic straws that are clamped on the ends with little holes and the inside is full of little chocolate beads) and they are AMAZING. Now, I don’t have to worry about chocolate sticking to the bottom of my glass. ANYWAYS, moving on..

“It’s okay little man, the mean dog won’t hurt you anymore.”
*Adonnis*: ”Anymore? Who said I hurt that bugger in the first place?”
World’s greatest autonomous dad award? I think yes.


Begonia grew up!
Apparently she and Baxter were born on different days? Oh well, I’ll let her stick around until Baxter ages up so I can ‘fairly’ decide on who will be the heir!

“Whee!! I finally got my nectar cellar I’ve had in my want panel for… EVER!”
Yeah, they finally had the money and I had to give in… but at least it’ll give us another form of income!

D; Sadly, I missed Adonnis dying…. He was truly one of my favorite dogs out of the bunch… it always makes me sad when dogs die.
Well, I will definitely put him in the graveyard near his parents (when I finally build a graveyard).

“And a one and a two and a one two three four!”
Hey Kerri! You and Bernard haven’t been in this entire chapter! I just realized that, well alright! They haven’t been that interesting considering they’ve been mad skilling trying (hopelessly) to get their LTW’s before they pass on!

Oh look! Baxter grew up! Yeah, definitely my favorite. So he’s dog heir.

“Darn that ridiculous crazy woman! Where does she get off thinking that she can kick me and Begonia out of the house that I’ve lived in for so long!?!?”
Well, a) she’s your mother, b) I’m the one who kicked you out, and c) you lost the heir poll. So there, you must leave!

“Cohen, you’re such a cute little grandson. I think you’re my favorite grandson so far.”
Yes, she does have multiple. Bernard and Vivian have been busy!

Well, ‘ello there!
So with the gardening, skilling, nectar making and baby, I had no time to cook, or let my sims take care of their own needs! That, and the maid was doing a horrible job cleaning the house, so I decided to give in and turn the sun room into a butler’s bedroom, and yeah. So we hired a butler.

Look at the random deer! I haven’t seen a deer in my game before! Sorry, I know you’re all probably thinking ‘you get excited about a deer? no big deal, they run out in front of cars and total them’. Yeah, well. I get excited over little things, get over it! ;D

“Honey, even though we had a bathing suit wedding, I really love your wedding dress.”
“Thank you honey, I plan on passing it on to our daughter(s) when they get old enough to get married.”
“Well, I’m glad I’ll be around for awhile because frankly, I want to see our kids have lots of kids and big happy life.”
“Me too baby.”
Aw, I love these guys.

D;
“You’re the one who didn’t give me a single picture all chapter until this one.”
BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN I DON’T LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO STICK AROUND!!!

“Alaric, it’s your time to go.”
“Unfortunately, neither you nor I get to decide when I must go.”
D;

“Darn you hospital! You worked my husband to death and then didn’t even save him when he died on your front door step!”
After his death, Kerri had to go and pick up the tombstone. So she went to pick it up, and decided to play her drums for tips, and got $8,000+!!

“Why didn’t my nose get biggewww?”
So little Cohen grew up.
He’s so cute! Look at that precious little nice! XD

“Who’s daddy’s little boy? Cohen is! Oh yes he is!”

“Now let’s try this one more time before I put you down for your nap, can you walk for daddy?”
I put this in here mostly to point out that Marvin is a great father. That and that although we have a butler, the parenting is still left to the parents.

“Hmm… I have that feeling again.”
Baby number two is on the way!

“Here little planty, don’t fret, my baby won’t eat you from inside me!”
Aww, well, this is what Brynn does all the time. Not very interesting, but extremely necessary. After losing her father, there is like no money coming in.. So yeah. Times are tough.

“Can you say ‘dada’?”
“DADA!”
“Aww, what a good boyy!
“

“I sense a disturbance in my stomach!”
BABY’S COMING!

“That hurt. Why didn’t you make me go to the hospital!?!?”
Because I let you choose! You chose to stay here, your mother chose not to for you! So there. You pick next time.
Anyways, this is little Carleigh. She loves the outdoors and is clumsy. She likes Indie music, ratatouille and the color… white. -___-
Anyways, this is where I shall leave you! I finished all of my homework for the weekend, so (hopefully) I will play tomorrow and get another chapter out! :) Come back next time to find the answers to these questions and more:
How many kids will Marvin and Brynn have? (I have no clue, I’m gonna keep them coming as long as there’s room and wants)
Will Cohen turn out to be gay?
Will Brynn turn into a vampire? (waiting for that want too)
Will all the kids be cursed with liking the color white!?!? (probably)
We’ll (maybe) find out all of this and more in the next installation of Not Another Alphabetacy! Oh, and leave comments, questions, concerns either on boolprop, or here.
I love comments. Like, they make my week.
January 15, 2012
Chapter Eleven: Love, Wedding and Honeymoon
Hey all! I actually played this a week ago, but didn’t have time to write it up. So here’s another edition of Not Another Alphabetacy! It’s just a small chapter only because I wanted to wait until the next chapter to start having kids. :)

“I can’t believe they picked you as heir… now I’ll just be a lonely old hag for the rest of my life.”
“It’s not my fault the fans like evil sims.”
Ha, true. Speaking of being a lonely old hag, that’s definitely what’s going to happen to Brynn!

“Brynn! I love you so much, I wish you would ask me to break up with my wife so I can be with you for the rest of eternity!”
“Oh! You’re so sweet Marvin!”

And Rose had puppies! Meet Begonia (female, top) and Baxter (male, bottom)! :) I really like how Baxter looks as a puppy… so he might just be the one that becomes heir.

“It’s okay little grapes, I love you and my nurturing will help you grow into the greatest most perfect grapes ever!”
So I really want to get some plasma fruit so I can grow some plants for Marvin. Does anyone know how to get a lot of them easily? If you do, please help!

“Uhhhh I feel woozy!”
Yeah, I need plasma fruit… lol.

“So Marvin, will you please break up with Lyndsey so I can be your wife? I’d love for you to marry me.
“
“I’ve been waiting for you to ask that for so long, you’re perfect Brynn.”

“You’re so cute Marvin.”
They’re so cute and I love them as a couple. I hope they have really pretty babies.
And I’ll definitely have a good nanny later on.
Speaking of vampires, I have decided that if both Brynn and Marvin want to turn Brynn at the same time, then I’ll turn her, otherwise I won’t.

“So Brynn, will you be my girlfriend?”

“And by girlfriend I mean wife! Will you marry me?”

“Oh absolutely! I love you Marvin! Please oh please oh please oh please let’s do this soon!”

And they celebrate early. So this is her new bedroom. I went all out, lol.

And I hope you noticed that Brynn has been wearing her wedding dress all over the place. And then she gets married in her bathing suit. -.-






Yeah, sweet romantic, naked. It’s all that mushy stuff and whatnot.

“And now we’re off on our fun and wonderful honeymoon!”

“Ahhh France! It’s so refreshing! And a little cold!”
Well if you would wear clothes then you wouldn’t be so cold!

So we went to France because of Marvin’s LTW, so they of course went to the vineyard!

“So yeah, I’d like your nicest fanciest wine, I mean nectar!”
Yeah,

They went down to the cellar and drank some nectar. Lots and lots of nectar.
“Woah Marvin, why are there like five of you?”

“Marvin, I love you. And I can’t wait to start our new life together.”
“So I’m thinking we’ll get a house here and live here.”
“Oh, did I forget to mention that aside from the fact that my family spent all of our money on building our house, but I am also the heiress, so we have to live with them? Oops.”
“Damn.”
So this is where I shall leave you. They make it home alright and then start to have babies, but that’s to come in the next chapter.
Sorry for a boring chapter, but I wanted to get the honeymoon out of the way before they actually started to have babies! I’ll try to play some more tomorrow since there’s no school! I’ll do my best to get another update in tomorrow, but if not, next weekend for sure!
Thanks all! Don’t forget to leave comments, questions and concerns on boolprop and on this page! Oh, and if you think Brynn should be made a vampire too, that’d be a good thing to vote on! So either vote on here or on boolprop, I won’t make a poll though.
See you all next time!

Chapter Ten: Death and Rebirth
Well, ‘ello there! So I got back into the Sims (obviously) and I’m back! For another post! Three in the same week! OMGZ!
Anyways, I had a lot of fun playing for this chapter, and I can’t wait to share it with you, oh. And next chapter, I’m SO excited for, and I haven’t even PLAYED it! So, ON WITH THE SHOW!
(Oh, and I’m packing tomorrow, moving Sunday, and school starts back on Monday… so I’m going to try REALLY hard to play and post, but I doubt I’ll post as much as I have this past week.) So on with it!

Sheba: ”Damn food… why do you have to be so low? I can’t reach you unless I lay down!”
Poor Sheba’s getting old… she can’t even stand and eat at the same time anymore! ;( I hate it when dogs get old.

“So Brynn, I thought I should tell you, you won the heir poll. So you have to have babies, and this whole evil, insane thing, I don’t know if I can handle it. Oh, and you need to look out for the family, since we spent all of our money on building this house, you need to come up with a means of providing money for the family so we can buy furniture, pay bills and you know, not starve.”
“But dad, I’m a teenager. Don’t you think it’s a bit early to be putting all of this pressure on me?”
“Nope. It’s perfect timing. So come up with a good idea, and then roll with it. And I hope and pray you won’t you know, get arrested in the process.”
“Thanks dad… great.”

Speaking of money, guess who got promoted!
Yes, he is now something or other medical related. Neurosurgeon I think?

“If I get all of these seeds, MAYBE I’ll be able to sell the plants and make money for my family!”
So Jared getting the collection helper chapters and chapters ago, best decision of my life. Finding seeds were so easy! Too bad they weren’t seeds she could plant yet… *grumble rules*

*toooooooot*
Rusty grew old.
He barely looks grey, I guess that’s the good thing about being light colored, ha.

“Well, I guess that means we finally get a stove!”
Yes it does! Yay Kerri got promoted to lyricist!

“And it’s my birthday!!”
Great…

“Don’t I look great?!?”
Damn, I don’t have enough money to spend on a dresser…. -.- damn.

“Wheee! I get to look good like my wife! Hey, Kerri! We’re gonna be wrinkly together now!”
…. NUUUU!

“Oh and guess what!?!? I get to get older too! But I’m just going to be a young adult!”
Well, at least something good is happening!

“Look at me, I’m hott!”
Well, at least there’s ONE good thing that came out of all these birthdays…

“Oh, don’t mind me. I just got another awesome promotion to help pay for more furniture for the house, that’s all.”
Yeah, Kerri got promoted to back up vocalist.

“Hey Vivian, so you know, we’ve known each other for a long time, and I really like you. I mean, you were my girlfriend when we were teenagers, and…”

*world gets dramatically darker*
“Will you marry me?”
“Oh my! Absolutely! I’d love to!”

So it’s their wedding day, and someone invited a horse? WHAT!?!? Anyways, this is a pretty horse. If my house wasn’t full, I’d totally adopt it.

So Vivian and Bernard got married… it was a very tacky wedding… and I missed it because Kerri was all glitched and couldn’t leave the park and I was worrying about getting her home in time. And they got married without me. -.- Oh well. :/
Oh, and Vivian’s an adult now. Like full adult, not young adult. So it’s a good thing Brynn is the heiress, ha. Vivian is flirty, family oriented, a kleptomaniac, hurting and a born salesman. Her favorites are French music, fish and chips, and the color black. Do you know how annoying that would be? Thank you for not picking Bernard (even though I’m slightly annoyed because he was my favorite).

And during the wedding, Kerri’s best friend tried to flirt with Bernadette (Adel’s daughter [ISN'T SHE GORGEOUS?!?]) who is married to Venkat. Classy bro, real classy.

“I’m about to be an adult!!!”
Oh hey, look! Another birthday!

*headdesk* FINE I will buy you a damn dresser and mirror! *Promptly changes everyone’s outfits and faces, ha*

And I thought that Vivian and Bernard would at least walk out together… The house was full so I needed to move someone out so Adonnis could have puppies. So Vivian Bernard and Albany moved out. BYE ALBANY, WE’LL MISS YOU! Oh, and doesn’t Vivian look cute? Yeah, I gave in to CC. >.<

“Why is it so hard to plant and grow and nurture plants?”
“It get’s easier the more you sunbathe and practice!”
“Hmm… well, this is sorta fun! I think I want to grow the perfect garden, just to show these nitwit plants who’s boss!”
“Hey, those nitwit plants are keeping my legs from burning!”
“You’re a gnome. You don’t have the ability to burn.”

“Wheee! I graduated!”
Batilda and Bernard graduated, but I only got Batilda’s stats. She was Valedictorian and voted “Most likely to be mediocre”. Ha, that’s the superlative I wanted! Just kidding.

And just to prove that Bernard was there, here he is with Vivian being all flirty in public! Oooh! I know some bad rumors will start about that!
“It’s strange, I feel like we’re being mocked, but ever since I moved out, I don’t hear the creator anymore… it’s kinda sad!”
Awww, I knew you’d miss me!

And as promised, I had to bring in a female dog to have puppies with Adonnis! Everyone, this is Rose. :)

Saddest day of my life.
Poor Sheba, you will be missed. You produced two great heirs, and you were definitely my favorite. You were so sweet and well behaved. I <3 you!

“Hey, so I heard you can sell fruits and stuff here and make money, is that right?”
“Depends, who’s asking?”
“I am, I need to sell my fruits and vegetables to make money so my family doesn’t starve.”
“Well why don’t they just eat the fruits and vegetables?”
“Because that’s gross. Can I sell them or not?”
“Yeah, I guess.”

“So what’s your name, smart ass?”
“Khalid Broke-Crosby”
“So are you a Broke or a Crosby?”
“I’m both.”
“No you’re not, one’s rich, one’s poor. Pick.”

“Look, I don’t appreciate you coming up in here wanting to sell your fruits and stuff and then insulting my family. I don’t appreciate it at all.”
“So you’re the Broke side, huh?”
“You suck, get out.”
That’s not how the conversation actually ended. But made for a good story, huh? Ha. She kept selling fruit, and made lots of money, enough to buy a cheap toilet! Yay! -.-

And Rose grew up! Awwwww, she’s so cute! I’m glad I got her.
By the way, she was adopted from the animal shelter. YOU SHOULD TOO! Or you know, at least donate to Relay for Life.

“I feel like… like… like I don’t have to go to school anymore!”

And she was right! She’s an adult now! (these are her workout clothes… insane sims…)
“So, you’re cute. And you glow, it’s kinda cool!”
“Thanks… it’s because I’m awesome. I have an awesome aura, and when I’m around especially pretty girls, it makes my entire body glow.”

“So since I’m so awesome, wanna go back to my place and flirt?”
“I’ll go back to your place, but I should let you know that I have a wife.”
*headdesk!* Too bad, you’re going to marry in anyways. Also, see that blond in the skirt? That’s Vivian, she’s PREGNANT! And pregnancy does NOT look good on her…. I mean… what in the WORLD!?!?

He has a car.
You know what that means!?!? MONEYY.

PUPPIESSSS!
“Come on Rudolph, we need to get as far away from here as possible!”
*silence*

D; D; D; YOU CAN’T TAKE TWO DOGS FROM ME IN THE SAME CHAPTER!!!
Oh, but I did.
Come on Grim, at least wait two more slides!
Too late, he’s already gone.
Poor Rusty… well, at least he can be with the love of his life, Sheba once more.

“So thanks for asking me to move in! I can’t wait to drink your blood! Everyone in my house was immortal, so yeah.”
“Oh, anytime!”
SQUEEE! He’s falling for her, hard. And now I can control him, meaning… BYE BYE LYNDSEY, HELLO BRYNN! Okay, so this is Marvin Gooch. He’s my very first vampire, and I’m super excited about playing him.
Anyways, he has three kids (ew) an dh’s a couch potato, he loves the outdoors, he’s a natural cook [thank goodness], he’s a daredevil, and he has commitment issues [he'll get over that soon enough]. His favorites are Roots music, O+ blood, and the color lime (obviously). Is lifetime want is to have a bottomless nectar cellar [have a current collection of nectar bottles worth $10,000 and at least 50 bottles of nectar].
So yeah, I’m super excited about playing the next chapter, but super sad because I have to go back to school.
Let’s hope I can still play and get chapters out as much as I have been! Also, in case you were wondering, that Relay for Life push? Yeah. I’m raising money, and if you want to donate (not saying you have to) and you want to donate in my name (I’d totally love it if you did!) you should comment on here and tell me, and I’ll send you the link, or post it on here or whatever. I’d go on and on and talk about all my relatives who’ve died of cancer and whatnot, but this is not about them, this is about my sims.
Also, don’t forget to comment, and comment and comment! I love reading suggestions and whatnot from my readers. I also love it when readers tell me things they like! Anything really, I love communication! Also, if you want me to read your legacy, just post a link on here and I’ll definitely read it! As always, I hope to see you soon! Ciao!
January 5, 2012
Chapter Nine: China, Illinois?
So welcome back! I know, I’m spoiling you guys with updates, or maybe I’m spoiling myself with Sims. WHO KNOWS? Anyways, welcome back to another chapter of “Not Another Alphabetacy!” Let’s hope this one’s as good as the others! Actually, it’s a bit short (partially because I had no Visa points, partially because my computer quit on me, so let’s hope it was a one time deal.) Anyways, onward!

“Brynnn! You ungrateful little brat! Where are you!?!?”
Someone finally fell for one of Brynn’s pranks! I normally try to make them avoid them at all costs, but this one was autonomous while I was telling everyone else to do other stuff. :/

“Now Adonnis, you need to make sure you keep your fur nice and clean while we’re gone, or else we’ll have to go through this all over again when we get back, okay?”
What? Where are you going?!? What do you mean you’re leaving! Oh, right. WE’RE GOING TO CHINA!

“Why yes, I would like to buy five airline tickets to China! I’m finally getting to learn martial arts to fulfill my LTW!”
Aww, I’m glad you’re excited! I’m super excited too actually, lol.

“Alright kids, everyone inside!”
Do you really think everyone will be able to fit into that Alaric? I mean, look at how small it is!

“Finally, now I can walk around!”
“Ahh, it’s good to be home again.”
“I GET TO LEARN MARTIAL ARTS!!!”
lol, they’re all SO excited.

“Why, hello there! Are you trying to learn martial arts too?!?”
“Wow, you are WAY too excited about getting your butt kicked today.”
Alaric went to Phoenix Martial Arts Academy and ran into this guy, Hassan Chalthoum!

“Take that!”
He tried his hand (or foot) at martial arts, and wasn’t very good… but he did wind up improving!

“And the plane kept flying into the sunset while they just held each other.”
“You’re gross. Why do you write stuff like that?”
“BECAUSE WOMEN READ THIS!”
True, women do read romance novels… so this is what Batilda did while on vacation, the entire time.

“Hmmmm… I wonder what this cool board does… hmm…. Zhang Hua needs help! Oh no! I must help him!”

“So where is Zhang Hua? I need to save him!”
“I am Zhang Hua, and I don’t need to be saved.. but I would like it if you went into the tomb and found me an ancient relic!”
“Oh, okay!”

“There are a LOT of stairs here!”
The tomb Bernard has to explore is deep inside the Halls of the Lost Army…

Or down a flight of steps…. lol.

“Woah! Cool! I found ancient coins!”
He wound up having lots of fun searching through the tomb (I had fun too… ha).

“Hmm… I think I’ll become a Great Explorer! That sounds cool! I mean, how awesome would it be to fully explore six tombs in every country!?!”
Yeah, someone has a LTW!!
(I’ll add that to the other post and the poll soon).

“Oh, look at that! It’s that ancient relic thing Zhang was talking about!”

“Here’s your relic thing”
“Here are Visa points so you may stay longer on your next visit.”
“COOL!”
I really wish Visa points counted for all locations, not just the specific ones…

“Darnit, why am I having to cook?!?”
Because you have no cooking skill points, your parents aren’t getting younger, and you’re currently in the lead in the heir poll.
“But I don’t WANT to cook, I want to WRITE!”
Well, then you can write a cook book.

Alaric got the opportunity to go spar with this old lady, her name is Gao Pei. She beat him… four times…

Bernard’s next adventure was to go inside of the Dragon Maw.
“This doesn’t look creepy at all!”

It actually looked really pretty inside. Then it was time to go home… so we’ll have to continue this adventure another time.

“Hey, let’s go back to China!”
“Honey, we don’t have any money… the creator spent it all on this house…”
Ooops.
Well, there’s hardly any furniture, no stove, one toilet and enough beds for everyone. And a single dog food dish. This should be fun. HEY GO GET PROMOTIONS!
Anyways, this is where my computer quit, and where I shall leave you for now. Until next time! (Maybe tomorrow, it depends on how much packing I do between now and then [moving back to school on Sunday... blehhhh]). So I’ll do my best to be back soon, if not, I have most of the day Wednesday to play and update you all! Let’s hope for the best! [Oh, and don't forget to post your comments and vote in the heir poll! You can do it on here or on boolprop, your pick!] Byeee!
January 4, 2012
Chapter Eight: Whonu?
Well hello there! Long time no see (sarcasm)! So I know, I know, I’ve been updating quite a bit recently (CRAZYYYY), but I’ve actually gotten back into the sims, and having readers comment on here and on boolprop also helps make me continue and post more, so if you’re commenting, keep it up! If you’re not, start doing it!
The more comments I get, the more obnoxious my email inbox gets, and the more likely I am to put down my wiimote from battling the random bad guys in Zelda Skyward Sword and the sooner I am to play Sims on my dinosaur of a laptop.
So yeah, ANYWAYS, on with the legacy!

“Oh, hello! I didn’t expect you back so soon!”
I know, me either.
So how’s the family? Anything interesting happened since I left?
“Since you control us… no. I’ve been stuck in this position for about a week now, THANKS.”
Anytime!

“It’s okay Brynn, mommy will save you from the mean old Rusty!”
“Ahhh Rusty!!!”
*Rusty* What? I didn’t do anything! I just sat here and looked out the door thinking of how bad I gotta pee…
Who knows bud, who knows… Really, I think Kerri wanted an excuse to snuggle Brynn, it gives her a reason to be the ‘hero’ and save her, you know?
“That is NOT what happened!!”
Right… that’s why you’re so defensive too!

Oh, and look! Bernard has decided he wants to become a chef!
“Only not really, the only reason I’m cooking is because we ran out of leftovers.”
Ran out of leftovers? That doesn’t happen here!
“Actually, since no one has cooked since Grandma died, it does.”
Oh, yeah… that might explain it.. whoops! I forgot to tell people to cook! My bad!

“The ladybug then decided it wanted to eat the small blade of grass that was glowing blue. AND THEN IT BECAME A GIANT TOAD THAT ATE THE PLANET!!!”
Batilda has decided it’s about time to take up a hobby, the hobby just happens to be writing Scifi novels. Crazy, who knew that ladybugs that ate blue grass wound up destroying the world? Not me!

“Why does no one feed me!?!?”
“It’s not that no one feeds you, it’s that you don’t eat when we do. Dad gave you a bottle three hours ago. You threw it on the ground and then went to bed. That’s not our fault.”
“No, it is! If I don’t get fed, it doesn’t affect me! It affects you!”
“Actually, it affects mom, dad and the creator. It just makes it that much easier for me to become heir if you get taken away by child services.”

“Wheee! I should be inside playing my guitar or something so I can get my LTW, but really, I just want to flyyy!”
So the trampoline got used! And the garden is still… dead, sadly.
Oh well, maybe the heir(ess) will marry a gardener, and then it’ll be green and beautiful again! Probably not, but who knows!

“Can you say ‘i love you’?”
“I wub oo?”
*Adonnis howling* “I love you!”
Looks like we have a dog who can speak like a husky!
(sorry, my dog here can say I love you). When I saw Adonnis listening like that, I just had to take a picture.

“News paper!”
“Hello all! I just got back from another great day at work that I don’t even need to be going to! I got promoted to band manager!”
Yay! Hooray! More money that we’ll (almost) never spend! Woo!

And Karl, our random freezer gnome, riding a random freezer llama? WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!? It’s cute, you know it.
“And the world shall never be the same again!”
You are correct Karl, no one will ever be able to look at a freezer gnome without a freezer llama the same way again.

“After the ladybug toad ate the world, the hott scientist said ‘I shall free you from your prison’ and gave the ladybug a potion that made it a tiny ladybug again!”
After finishing her first scifi book, Batilda decided she wanted to become a Star News Anchor! So it looks like we have one child who decided on a LTW!

“Maybe it’s just me. Couldn’t you believe, that everything I said and did wasn’t just deceiving, and the tear in your eye, and your cold hard face, makes me wish that I was never brought into this place. Maybe it’s just me.”
I love Secondhand Serenade.
Sorry, but yeah. So Kerri picked up her guitar for the first time since… she was pregnant with Bernard! Cool, huh?

“So, dad… I feel like you hate me.”
“What would make you think that Bernard?”
“Um, I don’t know.. maybe how you always pay attention to everyone and everything but me?”
“Hold on a sec Bernard, I think your sister just did something cute.”
*sigh* “Exactly my point.”

“It’s okay Adonnis… I know that you love me, even if my dad doesn’t! Hey, who needs stinky parents anyways? I have the cutest dog ever!”
Which dog is that? Sheba, Rusty, Adonnis or Albany? You have FOUR dogs, you know.

“Rusty, you took my spot. GIVE IT BACK!”
*snore*
“Fine! I shall smite you in your sleep!”
*snore*
Teehee.

“So do you think that Raccoon has rabies?”
“I don’t know man, but I want my shot just in case, you know?”
“Oh well, too late! My shift’s over!”
“You gotta be kidding me!” *gets mauled by raccoon*
LOLZ! Sorry, he didn’t actually get mauled, or get rabies. He was just a wuss when Alaric gave him a shot.

ANDDDD! *dun dun dun duhhh!* (trumpets, you know?) The first birthday cakes of the generation, or legacy! (I can’t remember which one, derp). SO, we have a double birthday, because I’m tired of waiting on the kids to grow up in awkward corners where I can’t take any good pictures. So! Here we go.

“Hmm… I shall wish for… a new laptop so I can write all of my stories and articles for the newspaper! OH! And a part time job as a journalist… yeah… perfect!”
Whatever Batilda, I think you’re the only kid wishing for a laptop for that reason.

*bored look*
*Adonnis* “Cake? Cake? Can I hazzz?”
So… she needs a makeover… and she gets one… after the second birthday!

“Alright Brynn, don’t fall in the cake or fire honey.”
“‘Toddler falls into cake’! I can see it as a new headline for the Sim City News!”
“Honey, we’re in Riverview, why would you write for the Sim City News?”

And! She’s got that annoying hairstyle… I hate that hairstyle….

This is Batilda after her makeover. She has a really REALLY wide jaw, it’s kinda hard to find a hairstyle that fits her when you don’t have CC… :/ Oh, she gained commitment issues. GREAT. Because as a legacy heiress, I need a woman with commitment issues. Actually, that would probably be a very good story… hmm…. Well it’s a good thing I don’t decide then, huh?
“I can’t let a man tie me down when I’m always out writing the latest story for the citizens of Riverview!”

And although you can’t see her face, this is Brynn post makeover. In her workout outfit…. -.- She gained the evil trait, so she is now evil and insane… NICE. OH! And they got a bunked because I’m too lazy to renovate the house (when they’re renovating it for the next heir(ess) anyway).

“Ah hah! Trashcan, I have caused many people to be unable to take out their trash today! While I guard you, no one can get inside you to dispose of their waste!”
Except the Alphabetacy’s have a garbage disposal that they throw everything in….
“Darn, thwarted again!”

“Uh hey, is this Harry?
Hey Harry, this is Bernard!
So I thought since we met at school, maybe we could be BFF’s?
What? I’m not cool enough to be your friend?
You only hang out with people who’s father’s love them? BUT WHYYY?!?!?”
lol, dramatic father-son relationship.

“Oh, well.. hello there!”
Look at that doctor! He got promoted to Disease Researcher today! Woot Woot! More moneyzzzzzz.

“So what’s your name kid?”
“What? You don’t remember me? I’m Bernard, you used to babysit my little sisters when we were younger…”
“Oh! You’re the kid that used to live here!”
“Well… I still live here, but yeah!”
“I always thought you were a little cutie…”
*waves* HI VIVIAN!

Poor Sheba had to go through another birthday… she’s old now.

It looks like she got snowed on! lol

“Here Bernard, I thought I’d give you these pretty pink flowers, I think they’d look good with your.. shirt?”
I don’t know why she gave him pink, but she autonomously gave him flowers!
Awwwww.

“Ahhhh!” *swerves* “Must. Not. Hit. Creator.”
So Kerri got promoted to Music Talent Scout!

“Even though I’m exhausted, Vivian, will you go to prom with me?”
“Oh my goodness! Yes! I’d love to!”

“And since you like me enough to go to prom with me… will you be my girlfriend too?”

*thinks* ”This was the best day ever…”
Awwww.
That’s so sweet!

“Hi, do you want to make out?”
“No, I’m dating your cousin, Bernadette.”
This child is somehow related to my simself. His name is Venkat Shepherd-Lobos. So I don’t know how, but I can totally see it. He has my nose…. lol. I was hoping to marry him in to see how he’s related, but…. he’s dating Bernadette…. -.-

“Darn you Sheba for mixing my explosive chemicals up!”
I think it was you that mixed them, not Sheba.
“Well she’s the closest person I can blame! MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Right… well, have fun with that!

So Batilda and Bernard went to prom, and Batilda took a cute prom picture.

And Vivian stayed here, so Bernard took his picture alone…. But hey, he was crowned prom king! So that counts for something, right?

And it’s time for yet another birthday!

“Yay me! I get to grow up and experience all the stuff Bernard and Batilda do now!”
Only, her teenager pre-makeover pic makes me shutter, so I’ll just tell you, it’s not pretty. But she’s pretty after I make her over! Well, all the kids are teenagers, so you know what that means! HEIR POLL TIME! So who’s gonna win? I don’t know, you tell me! I know who my favorite is! But I’m not telling.
Anyway, here are the stats:

Bernard: The neurotic, brave, excitable savvy sculptor who’s popular enough to win the love of everyone at school and become prom king, but not enough to gain the love and attention of his father. Future spouse: hopefully Vivian! LTW: become a Great Explorer, favorites: french music, lobster thermidor and the color white.
“If you vote for me, I’ll let you wear my crown!”

Or how about Batilda, the brave and eccentric couch potato who has commitment issues? Although she has commitment issues, will the stress of having to have three kids push her into committing to a relationship? Or will she become the town whore who happens to write all the town gossip (about herself)? Her favorites are Chinese music, sushi and the color white. Oh, and her LTW for those that forgot is to become a Star News Anchor.
“If you vote for me, you’ll definitely get the best news stories first!”

Or maybe it’ll be the baby, Brynn! (see, she is pretty!) She’s an insane, evil and easily impressed (I forgot her other trait… if it pops up later, I’ll update this post and put it in here). She has no LTW yet, and her favorites are Chinese music, dim sum and the color turquoise. If she becomes heir, who knows what will happen, she might just become an evil dictator and make all of Riverview bow down to her! Or just steal candy from kids, who knows?
“If you don’t vote for me, I’ll be pissed. And you don’t want someone who’s insane and EVIL coming after you. Just saying.”
So who will be heir? You decide! Either post on here, or post on the heir poll on boolprop. ![]()
Oh, and there will be another update really soon, since Brynn is finally a teenager, the Alphabetacy’s are going to China! ![]()
Also, if you have any floor plans you suggest for the new house, post in a comment, and I’ll check them out! I am not creative whatsoever when it comes to houses, so I’m not looking forward to building this one… OH and if you have a legacy you want me to read, just post it here, and I’ll check it out and add it to the side bar.
Anyway,
See you soon!

Chapter Seven: Birthday Time and Babysitters
Hello all and welcome back to “Not Another Alphabetacy!” I’m your host, and I’d like to say that I’m as surprised as you are that I’m getting another update before the end of the year! My brother got a DSi for Christmas… so…. I’ve had time to play Sims, and he also fixed/updated/sped up my computer with Sims on it too, so that helps.
SO, who wants to get back to that crazy family? I do!

And to welcome you back, we have Sheba(who probably has fleas) sleeping with Alaric! I love it when my dogs sleep in the bed with me, so I thought this was adorable when I saw her cuddling up next to him.
Random, yes. But you’ve got to be used to the randomness by now!

Speaking of random, say hello to the glitchy ice-cream truck that stopped outside my house, and stayed there… for three days. -.- COOL HUH!?!? Only not really. I had no kids to run to it to eat ice-cream, so it was pretty much pointless.

And this is our poor garden that I tried to start… with Renee… I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been tended since she was pregnant. That’s so sad… but hey, MAYBE it’ll get tended in the future. Probably not. But we can hope, right?

“Sigh, another promotion for an amazing guy. Too bad I’m not in China learning martial arts fulfilling my LTW…”
Well, if you and Kerri hadn’t gotten into bed so quickly, then I would have offered to let you guys go on a honeymoon! Maybe after all the kids are aged up. THEN you’ll be able to take them all, and let them do what they want while you adventure and learn martial arts.
That’ll be fun! *foreshadow*
Oh, and I forgot to mention HOW he got a raise, he donated his pancreas, so they gave him a raise, lol!

So this has been in Kerri’s wants for awhile, and since Bernard is a child now (grew up last chapter I think?) he can finally play on it. YAY! But he hasn’t yet… wtf? NO ONE has.

And cute little Batilda learned to walk.
“Mommy, I know you love me and all, but you know that now I’m gonna be hard to catch up to, right?”
“Oh goodness.. WHY DID YOU MAKE ME TEACH HER THAT?!?!”
I will NOT have stupid children! They must all learn their skills!


And little Adonnis grew up.
He’s such a pretty dog now! (for future reference, he will be wearing the red collar). Also, I’ve decided that I will pick the dog legacy heirs since you all pick the real legacy heirs. And I’ve also decided that the first human spare to move out gets the spare(s) of the dog legacy (unless of course I have two, then there would be one for each). After the spare dog moves out, we’ll be adopting a new dog to have puppies with the heir. So we have awhile before the second generation of the dog legacy is born, but to keep from being suspenseful, Adonnis is the heir.
He’s actually much prettier than Albany.

I definitely took a picture of Albany as an adult… but it’s not here.. so you’ll see him a bit later on. :)

So Kerri got to go back to work, and since Alaric was still at work when she left, they hired a babysitter! Everyone, say hello to Vivian Buckley. She’s a very pretty teenager who actually takes care of the kids when she babysits!

“Hi, I’m going to be heir someday because Batilda and Brynn are stinky and can’t even hold their poop. You know you want to be my girlfriend and marry me someday. I’m gonna be rich!”
“Aw, you’re so cute!”
Hey Bernard, I feel like she didn’t take you seriously.
“No one EVER takes me seriously!”
Maybe it’s the paper crown, or the cape.
“Never!”
So obviously, you can see foreshadowing here too.

“Gah, where’s dinner at?”
I don’t know, maybe you should make it! Oh, and this picture is to show that Alaric got promoted to Trauma Surgeon! Not that it has anything to do with his lifetime want…. :/


Batilda grows up! She gains the brave trait. So she’s now a brave eccentric couch potato. Lord, that’s a weird set of traits.
“WHY IS THERE NOT A TV IN HERE?!?! You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna make a TV that floats in space so I can watch TV while flying!”
Alright Batilda, whatever you say….


And Brynn grows up!…. bald…. What in the world!?!? Well, at least her pjs are cute.

“So yeah, that’s my porsche behind me”
Or the neighbor’s porsche… seeing as he’s getting out of it to go home…
“Why do you hate me?!?!?”
I don’t hate you, you hate you. Anyways, Kerri got promoted to Stagehand! Even though it has nothing to do with her LTW either… lol. >.<

Nothing’s better than bonding by hitting your sister in the head with a pillow…. Atleast they’re being cute.
I love it when kids play together. Oh yeah, and excuse the messy house, Alaric and Kerri have been having issues with keeping it clean… So it’s not very easy raising kids with both parents working and no grand parents to take care of the kids and chores… I just thought I’d let you know that…..

I don’t know what it is with these guys, but they love to have vaccination clinics at the cemetery… like wtf? Why the cemetery? Do you think they might keel over while you’re trying to keep them healthy or something?!?
“OMG THAT HURTS SO BADDDDD!”
“Ma’am, it’s over… and it’s been over for the past minute….”

Meet Karl. The Freezer Bunny Magic Gnome! He’s the first gnome of the legacy, AND the first one I’ve had like this.
SQUEEEE.

“Mommy, I think I can handle it from here.”
So Brynn got talk all of her skills too!

This is Jonathon Donnelly. He died on our lawn. He was the paparazzi. That should teach everyone a lesson, DON’T TAKE PICTURES OF US! HA!


Vivian Buckley babysat again.
That gives Bernard some time to flirt!
(yes he’s still a kid… but not for too much longer….)

Alaric got another promotion! He looks so excited, doesn’t he?!?! Now he’s a Gene Therapist!


And it’s Bernard’s birthday! He looks really weird when he grows up… but I fix that… ALSO! he gained the savvy sculptor trait. So now he is a brave neurotic excitable and savvy sculptor. WOW.

Here’s post makeover Bernard. And in case you were wondering, he has abs and pecs. That’s what his man boobs were in the previous picture… pecs.

And here’s Batilda making a derp face because she lost the TV remote.
This is the last picture of the update, but I shall fill you guys in on the extended family. I call this the FAMILY TREE UPDATE!
SO, news flash, Kerri had an illegitimate child with her ex boyfriend Dallas before she married Alaric! *le gasp* He’s a child now and his name is Willis. I just thought I’d throw that in there.
Adel and Renee split up (I guess it wasn’t in fact true love) and Bernadette lives with Adel. She’s really quite pretty. You’ll see pictures of her when I invite her over for the wedding of the heir (in a few chapters). She’s a teenager now.
Adolfus is dating Edith Lin-Shallow (Willis’ half sister [is that incest?]) and he has no kids yet… Sad.
And just a reminder of everyone’s traits in the immediate family:
Alaric is virtuoso, friendly, clumsy, a workaholic, and disciplined. His LTW is physical perfection.
Kerri is virtuoso, friendly, clumsy, a workaholic and disciplined (did that really happen?), and her LTW is to become a one sim band.
Bernard is Excitable, neurotic, brave and a savvy sculptor.
Batilda is eccentric, brave and a couch potato.
Brynn is easily impressed and insane.
Alright, that’s all for this update. Hopefully I’ll be able to update you guys a lot sooner, like this one is a lot sooner than I thought! Have a happy new year! Don’t be too irresponsible! And I shall leave you with these questions:
Who will be come heir(ess)?
What will the next set of puppies look like?
Will Bernard get with Vivian?
Will Adolfus ever have babies?
We’ll find out all of the in the next installations of “Not Another Alphabetacy!”
Bye!!
