@oshizu I am a bit confused by the secondary spouse thing. Are they just helpers or do they have a different role?

@PeregrineTook
Yes, Alejandro and Benicio are the most beautiful twin toddlers my sims have ever produced!

@MarianT
Thank you for catching my type--what was I thinking? Doing a legacy on short lifespan feels very different from a tournament challenge on short lifespan.
I appreciate now how the tournament has us focus on a select number of activities and goals.

@Shewolf13
Regarding the Council, it felt odd putting words in the mouths of the other Council members.
If I'm too cautious, they'll seem boring; if I go too far, I could lose some dear friends. :)

@rika1431
On Short lifespan, there will definitely not be time for "everything." When I played a Normal-lifespan legacy, maxing all the careers took all nine generations.
Still, I'm sure there will be enough time to have fun, if I accept a low score. So no modification of point goals. It's have fun or go home, hehe.

@FrancescaFiori
Haha, my bad. I realized only later that I should have had oshizu or Pippin describe Francesca as "the sophisticated one," instead of using a self-description. :) Still, it's true!
I'm so in love with these twins, though I usually favor dark hair, lol. They're even cuter as children!
Sherilee is moving forward so haphazardly, almost zigzagging but she has Jose. She'll be fine!

@reggikko
Haha, I wrote so many posts about secondary spouses during my Mori Legacy last year.
Usually, I only bring one in if the "true love" has duplicate traits; then I chose a "primary spouse" with 3 unique traits, but have children and all that with a secondary spouse.
According to Pinstar, a primary spouse doesn't necessarily have to be involved in marriage or procreation and one may move in multiple secondary spouses.
In a comment, Pinstar has written that a founder/heir could have a veritable harem of secondary spouses.
   In this particular instance, I invited in the three sims as secondary spouses for something you'll only learn about in the next update.
Are you ready to take the plunge into the Dark Side, reggikko? We haz cookies. :)

@wa-wa-world
I'm so curious how they'll age up, since neither parent has their little rosebud lips.



A Sharebear Legacy: A Tragic Miscalculation

Our incomplete collection of emotional paintings snowballs into the unexpected.

Week 1/Saturday

Hey, Sherilee! Why are you looking so upset, girl?
Your life looks pretty perfect from where I'm sitting. What's the problem?


Sherilee: Arrrgggh, I'm so frustrated with my career!
After my first week, I'm still only a Level 5 Scientist!
In six more days, my adult birthday is coming already!

Actually no. Your birthday's delayed by three days due to your pregnancy.
Sherilee: Oh, so I'd actually gain three days by having more children! Hmmm.

You're doing fine, Sherilee. This is supposed to be fun!
Sherilee: It is? By the way, I accidentally misled our readers last time.
I said we're only missing the trash plant and the UFO plant.
What we're missing, in truth, is two Sixam plants, a lily, and a UFO plant. *sighs


Rhonda: I'm so excited!
Our emotional painting collection is complete except for the sad painting!
I don't have much time left, but I want to leave behind the sad painting as a memento.
I know, I'll summon a Tragic Clown! That should make me feel sad!

Sherilee: Oh no, you di'int! You are sassing the wrong sim, lady!
I'll have you know that I'm having an extremely bad day!
I don't care if you have bad hair, poor fashion taste, and the Evil trait.
You, Masami Nakamura, are going down! *points finger and does the head bob


Rhonda: Hey, Sherilee. I summoned a Tragic Clown but it never arrived. Have you seen it?
Sherilee: Who me? Um, no…

Masami: Mwahahahaha! I love riling  up the tourists!


Week 2/Sunday

Sherilee: Angelic Alejandro is such a treasure.
I've been busy with Jose's postcard collection and our garden.
Luckily for me, neither twin seems to care that much.


Jose:  This is our lively second-born son, inquisitive Benicio.
Just think! Five days ago, I'd never stepped foot outside of Selvadorada.
And now, instead of a cantina bartender, I'm a mixologist with a lovely family!

Life moves in mysterious ways.
(whispers: I must confess that I do miss Selvadoradan cuisine at times…)


Rhonda: I knew Sherilee was feeling beyond frustrated last night.
And then she met the Tragic Clown who pushed all the wrong buttons.
So now she's trying to drown that evil sim.

My new plan is witness the clown's death then paint the final sad painting.
Over 12 hours have passed already, but the clown seems oddly chipper.


Monday

Rhonda: My age bar began bubbling this morning and I can no longer wait on the clown.
My days in this household have been delightful.
Sherilee took me in even though my own children had turned their backs on me.
As a parting gift, I am offering Sherilee my life.


Jose: The mailperson delivers our 14th postcard, which completes our postcard collection.
Sherilee: I'm glad spamming all those penpals paid off! What's next after The Curator?
Jose: I'm switching, of course, to the Master Mixologist aspiration.


Guadalupe: Once Colt, Sherilee, and Jose leave for work, I panic.
After I go to work, would the toddlers be okay at home with the Tragic Clown?

I hire a butler (who turns out to be rather handsome, by the way).
Then, just in case, I take the day off from work, too.


Rhonda: This is how I have chosen to leave this simverse.
All my life, I have never achieved anything worthwhile.
Today, in death, I have a chance to become part of something bigger than myself.
*shouts: Guadalupe, I know you're home. Get up here and witness my passing! NOW!


Guadalupe: The portraits of Sherilee and Jose were painted by Rhonda.
Sherilee painted two emotional paintings; Jose, Rhonda, and Colt painted one each.
And I'm the one who contributed the sad painting, completing the collection.


Guadalupe: That's me chatting up--I mean, chatting with--the butler, Tetsu.
He's a goofball so he cheers me up a lot.

Did you hear I'm a childhood friend of Jose from Selvadorada? Just good friends.
My aspiration is Friend of the World and I work as a chef.
Since this household never leaves the house, though, I'll never finish my aspiration. *shrugs


Sherilee: No, that's not an inset showing my needs!
Those are the needs of our Tragic Clown, Masami Nakamura.
After nearly three days, I finally realize my miscalculation!
Tragic Clowns cannot die by drowning, hence I'm inventing a SimRay, hehehe.


Tuesday

Sherilee: Sweetheart, it's been 8 hours now and the Tragic Clown's running out of objects to transform.
Jose: Are you asking me to give up my MySims Trophies? Seriously?
Sherilee: You're a lifesaver, dear!

Jose: Why don't you just buy the cheap gnomes?
Sherilee: Because I didn't think of that until later. But I have some good news, darling!
After roughly 12 hours on that little podium, the evil clown finally burned to ash.

Grim: Wait, don't tell me! You Sharebears must be one of those Legacy families…


Sherilee: You're probably wondering why an upstart legacy like mine would have a butler.
Guadalupe hired Tetsu the butler in a state of panic but now our watcher insists we keep him..
Why? Because he shares the name of her deceased father. That works for us.


Sherilee: Speaking of parents, I might be the worst mother in the simverse!
With their angelic and inquisitive traits, the boys practically teach themselves!
Even so, can you believe they'll be children soon and I can't even "give a second wind"?


Sherilee: Look at my beautiful Alejandro. We gave him Jose's middle name, you know.
Sadly, I can never get back all the hours I chose to not spend with my toddlers!


Jose: Why is the cowplant drooling when I'm the one who will be eating the cake?
Just kidding. I know exactly what I'm doing.
I want to give Sherilee an Essence of Focused to help with her career.


Wednesday

Sherilee: Jose darling, thanks to you, I brought home a promotion today!
Jose: We all knew you could do it!
Sherilee: How was your day off? How are the boys?
Jose: I received the twin's second birthday notice in the afternoon.
Let's give Benicio a little more time. He's almost done!

Aljejandro: It's quite late when we finally age up!
I love the outdoors and I'm both a Happy Toddler and a Whiz Kid.
Benicio: I'm a genius, a Top-Notch Toddler, and a Whiz Kid.

Sherilee: Sweetheart, where did our boys get those rosebud lips?


Jose: Why don't we all go out and celebrate your promotion, Sherilee?
I hear Club Calico was torn down and replaced with a new lounge!

Sherilee: What a perfect idea! We've been stuck at home for days due to the Tragic Clown!


Jose: Sherilee, we couldn't have a real wedding but I brought you here so we could renew our vows.
Sherilee: Jose! When did you have time to buy me this wedding ring?
   

Jose: What do you think I'm doing all day when you're at work and I'm off? Hmmm?


Jose: Look at our sons, my love. Aren't they wonderful?
Sherilee: Yes, they are heartbreakingly handsome, just like their father!


Sherilee: Our nanny, on the other hand, is shamefully underdressed.
It's the last time we ever invite her out anywhere!


Sherilee: This has been a hard several days, but this moment makes it all worthwhile.
Even though we lost Rhonda, the Clown was a pain, and my garden isn't evolving...
Even though our nanny is a public embarrassment and my gown clashes with this lounge's décor...
Even though I'm worried sick that I will never reach the pinnacle of the Scientist career...

My beloved Jose, our gorgeous boys, my diligent housemates, our little spot of beachfront heaven.
I embrace these choices I have made. I would trade this life of mine with no other.

@LenaLJ
Yes, I'm on Short lifespan. It's nice that the toddler phase only lasts 4 days, but the career-related points will be harder--if not impossible--to earn.
Every sim is allowed one anti-aging consumable, though, so that will be crucial for maxing careers.
In the legacy I finished in January 2017, PoYs were more of a vanity item to keep the sims looking young.
Essentially, though, I'm fine with a low score--just an not abysmally low score.

@PeregrineTook
Haha, I was just thinking about Tetsu earlier. Aren't butlers immortal?
The only children I plan to have in the legacy home are directly (but no always biologically) linked to the founder or heirs, but may include cadet kids.
Children born between Guadalupe and Tetsu would fall under neither of these categories.
I've had female sims move out pregnant in the past. Anything could happen. :D
Um, did you make a typo? You wanted to refer to Alejandro and Benicio as "baes," right?

It was a beautiful ceremony even if it wasn't a wedding. Vow renewals are very important and I think they're well worth celebrating in style. Especially with such handsome young groomsmen! The boys are adorable!
I don't know where those sweet puckered lips came from, but they're darling!
Very nice score on the butler, too! He's quite handsome and no doubt useful to have around!
Your evil clown in the swimming pool shot is horrifically wonderful. I'm going to have nightmares. Good to know about clowns being drowning-proof, though. I wonder why?
Grats on the complete collection! Your Sharebears are really rocketing along!

A Sharebear Legacy: A Full House
« Reply #24 on: March 09, 2018, 06:38:57 PM »
@FrancescaFiori
We initially hired a butler rather carelessly but now we can't live without him!
I stupidly watched as that clown didn't drown for three sim-days, hahaha. Then I remembered that the tragic clown in my Mori Legacy died by fire. Do you think they're semi-immortal?
Fire seems to be the great equalizer.
The twins will be teens very soon. I can't wait to see what happens to their little rosebud mouths.

@PeregrineTook
I'll have you know that both Alejandro and Benicio wept bitterly when they learned that they were no longer "your baes." Tsk, tsk, tsk.

@Shewolf13
Haha, I'm not sure why I even bother thinking up titles for each update. Probably because I enjoy it…
I ran into a new problem when I tried to throw a party at that venue.
It was Ghost's Night so, after changing the lot type a gazillion times, I couldn't throw anything but a failed birthday party there. (I used the Lounge category)




A Sharebear Legacy 1.3: A Full House


Week 2/Thursday

Jose: It's past midnight when we arrive home from the new Club Calico.
Alejandro and Benicio get right to work on Whiz Kid.


Jose: And I'm back practicing bar flair.
One more level and I'll be done with Master Mixologist!
Life outside Selvadorada isn't as tough as I'd expected!

I guess nobody's noticed that I'm now a clean-shaven sim with longer hair.


Guadalupe: The only thing I don't like about the Hound's Head is its isolation.
In Selvadorada, I just visit the marketplace and I'm surrounded by people!

Here, only a few sims visit the nearby Cavalier Cove each day.
Not the greatest place to try and become Friend of the World.


Guadalupe: You're probably thinking I'm like a servant in this household.
That's so far from the truth! Well, yes, I work in the garden but so does Sherilee!

I begged her to let me move in with her and Jose. I was dying to get out of Selvadorada.
She not only said yes, she also made me a promise that's coming true very soon!


Colt: Only one more masterpiece and I'm…oh the fire alarms!

Move away from the fire, Benicio! We're on full autonomy here!
Pretend like you're supposed to be experimenting and go talk to your plushie animal!


Colt: After putting out the fire, showering, and checking on Filly, I'm back at my easel.
And that small classic masterpiece signals my completion of Painter Extraordinaire.
I'm not a fan of sitting for hours at a time, so I switch to Musical Genius.


Alejandro: I love the outdoors so I prefer fishing to staying indoors. You like fishing?
Benicio: It's okay. It's nice doing something different for a change. I'm sick of the science table!


Friday

Jose: As soon as I get home, we all head for the Casbah Gallery, where I max mixology. Tada!
Sherilee: What next, Senhor Master Mixologist? Master Chef will be a piece of cake for you.
Jose: Good, because I'm trying to earn as many food-related points as I can!


Sherilee: Thanks to Colt's new aspiration, we are forced to be seen in public with our nanny again.
Colt, don't we know anyone else who can mentor violin?


Guadalupe: That's odd. He doesn't look Irish to me!


Jose: Has anyone mentioned lately how much we love our butler Tetsu?
He's a quiet gentleman but he's always there to take care of business.
He inconspicuously and autonomously cleans, gardens, and looks after small children. He is, literally, a godsend!


Colt: Did you hear that I adopted a little girl two days ago?
I shamelessly renamed her Filly, daughter of Colt.
She aged up to an inquisitive toddler this afternoon while I was at work.
Filly's buggy. We got the "Filly ages up!" toddler message four times. *sighs


Sherilee: I've heard from Colt that my darling Jose's left for work shirtless two days in a row.
Jose claims that he works as a mixologist at Make a Dish.
Do you think I should hire a private investigator? At least he's not wearing low-slung jeans, I guess.


Saturday

Jose: After finishing work at 1 am, I earn a promotion and Lupe completes the frog collection!
I throw a dinner party for my Master Chef aspiration, which requires a silver medal.

Our party goals don't register so a gold medal eludes me, I'm sad to say.
But I can count 5 sims eating and dancing at the same time, can't you?


Jose: I'm giving up and ending this party early, folks. It's hopeless!
Sherilee: It's almost 6:30 am, anyway, dear. Time for you to buy three Potions of Youth.
Jose and Lupe: *drink and restart their young adult stages
Colt: *drinks and restarts his adult stage


Sherilee: I don't like myself much lately. Sure, I finished Soulmate but since then?
Unable to coax any excellent plants from the garden, I can't finish Freelance Botanist.
While I've only maxed Gardening, my dear Jose has whizzed through Cooking, Mixology, and Gourmet Cooking.
One more level in his Chef career and he'll max his third aspiration, too.

And it's not due to our lot traits! Our watcher forgot to set any lot traits until yesterday.
Let's change the subject, shall we? *cough
You need to set priorities, Sherilee: Freelance Botanist, handiness, and a full set of tested serums. Whaddya say?



Lupe:  You know, I was worried that Sherilee might not give me a Potion of Youth.
My charisma is only Level 2 so I may never finish Friend of the World. And I'm still only a Level 5 cook.
But I've contributed three cowplant essences so far plus, lately, I garden more than anyone else!

And today we're here at the park just so I can hit another milestone for my aspiration. Life is good!


Benicio: First Officer Jacob, look sharp! An alien flying saucer looms closer from the starboard!
Jacob: Uh huh, whatevs.
Benicio: Hey, play serious or go home! I hardly get out of the house except for school!


Lupe: I adopted a boy immediately after Filly's toddler birthday and he aged up to a toddler today.
I've renamed him Gregorio Sharebear, but don't you think life is strange?
Colt's Filly has black hair and dark skin like me, but my Gregorio has red hair and pale skin like Colt.


Week 3/Sunday

Jose: Max quality Baked Alaska, my second point in the Food category.
Sherilee: I must have some amazing karma from a past life, because Jose has been such a gift!
So very handsome and affectionate plus he's skilled to the hilt!
*whispers: I'm so relieved he's wearing a shirt to work again. He's mine, you hear! Miiiiiine!!!


Sherilee: Yep, I'm doing exactly what you think I'm doing.
It's taken me two full weeks to reach this point, but it's never too late, right?


Benicio (left): Why are we even bothering to level our Social skill?
Alejandro (right): I know, right? We'll be teens in two days and we still need an A for Whiz Kid!

Benicio: Well, I say we go back to playing Keyboard Commander. We can max that skill today!
Alejandro: So true! No way, we'll finish Whiz Kid and the other three aspirations in two days anyway.
Sherilee: No worries, boys. Filly and Gregorio can pick up the slack (we hope).


Monday

How is everything going these days? You seem happier now than the other day…
Sherilee: Jose has been incredible! He even completed the Master Chef aspiration today.
Colt's halfway through his second Creative aspiration and Lupe's been a great help, too.

What about the kids?
Alejandro and Benicio are doing great on their own.
Filly is in line to be a Happy Toddler so we just let her do what she wants.
As for wild Gregorio, we each spend a little time with him but rely heavily on our nanny.

Are you ready to age up? You'll get your birthday notice at 8 a.m. today.
No, of course not. I plan to wait 11 hours after the notice, then drink a Potion of Youth.


Sounds like Sherilee Sharebear and her crew will do fine.
Are you wondering about what role Filly and Gregorio will play in the Sharebear household?
As children, they'll each complete any unfinished aspiration and earn an A in grade school.
As teens, they'll move out soon after maxing a teen career not completed by Alejandro or Benicio.

Up next: Alejandro and Benicio as teenagers

Wheeeee, this family is just rapid fire bam bam bam with those point goals! I love it! It feels like a race again, just like a rival dynasty, hehehe. Sherilee is amazing, I love her and her personality so very much, her comments are just so entertaining and on point. I feel bad for the twins that they won't be able to complete all four aspirations--for some reason, it's become a thing of mine to always have my kids do all four, on top of being top-notch toddlers, just so they're skilling machines. But I have the time to do that, since I play on normal age span.

By the way, I don't know if you've noticed, but building social is much faster by just chatting with another sim compared to practicing speech. I can max social in a little over five-ish sim hours that way, and the same goes for Charisma. Obviously not five sim hours, but if you spam 'brighten day' seven times, then 'heartfelt compliment' seven times, then go on several rounds of 'compliment appearance, flatter, tell engaging story, compliment appearance, flatter, tell engaging story, etc etc' over and over again, it's just so much faster than a mirror!

I wonder if young Filly will grow up to be a spouse option? 
It's nice how everyone in the household seems to have a nice presence and role.  Of course, unlike your TGTD, no one has the role of deadweight  ;=)
I really enjoy Guadalupe's presence in the house.  She's just so pleasant and delighted to be in the house.  It's sweet  :=)

@rika1431
Haha, it's not supposed to feel like a race but I'm trying to gauge how much a single generation can accomplish on short lifespan.
The only household members who are earning points like crazy are primary spouse Jose and secondary spouse Colt. They both lucked out with easy first aspirations.
Sherilee's been doing Freelance Botanist since Day 2 or 3, while Lupe will probably never finish Friend of the World.
I'm fine with Happy Toddlers and with children not completing all their aspirations. There's only seven days, after all.
In my RDC, I started out skilling toddlers to Top-Notch Toddlers in four days. It can be done but it sucks all the fun out of simming, for me anyway.
If a toddler gets close to maxing all skills, fine, I'll give them the needed  boost. Otherwise, I'm going with Happy Toddlers on short lifespan.

As for Social/Charisma, I tend to play big households so what I prefer about the mirror, even though it takes longer, is that I can just leave a sim using the mirror and forget about them.
All I need to remember is to rally the troops and let them shower as needed. Thanks to the mirror, I can work with the other members of the house.
Priorities! Thanks for sharing your tips, though! There's always something new to learn about simming!

@PeregrineTook
The game doesn't regard Filly as anything but Colt's daughter. But since Colt is Sherilee's secondary spouse, my legacy and I consider Filly a half-sister to the twins and Lupe's son.
So Filly will never be a spouse option for anyone in the legacy house.  I'm confused now. I've PMed you about this oh-so-important subject.

Oh yeah, it's such a treat being able to control the entire household, except our perfect butler who always does the right thing anyway. Tetsu is so perfect it's practically obscene!
Hound's Head gets no walk-bys at all, so Lupe's Friend of the World is quite difficult to advance without travelling...with toddlers, so no thanks.
Lupe's biggest contribution is freeing Sherilee to do non-gardening things. She's a relaxing presence (for me) because she can't accomplish much...

A Sharebear Legacy 1.4: Gen2 Heir Vote!

Week 3/Monday

Alejandro: Thanks to those Focused potions, we get A's and finish Whiz Kids. Yay!
Benicio: Eh, we start Artistic Prodigy without even getting a break!

Alejandro: Not a fan of short lifespan, I take it?
Benicio: It's not that! We're working hard so that later generations can coast, y'know.
Alejandro: Yep, go us!


Sherilee: I drank my Potion of Youth this morning just in time!
And when I come home, I finally complete Freelance Botanist!
Lesson learned: Don't choose Freelance Botanist too early in a legacy.


Sherilee: I didn't get my Level 8 promotion today, so Jose's still ahead of me.
But he doesn't work again until Thursday, which gives me a window of opportunity.
I'm going to try to catch up and pass him, hehe.


Tuesday

Jose: Early that morning, we receive Filly's birthday notice.
In a bid to escape the darn cupcake factory, I volunteer to do the honors.

Filly: I'm a perfectionist (like Papa) with the Artistic Prodigy aspiration.


Sherilee: Gregorio is in line to receive the Happy Toddler trait. You know what that means?
He's free to do whatever he wants until his birthday tomorrow.
No more toddler training for my generation!
Tetsu (whispers): She says that as if she actually engaged in toddler training. *stifles a laugh


Jose: Would you like to sample my crème brulée? This might be your only chance!
I sold the cupcake factory as soon as I maxed the Baking skill.

Also, I don't quite know how to tell Sherilee, but I've switched to the Big Happy Family aspiration.
I really want the Patriarch trait!


Alejandro: Where has this space gym been hiding all this time?
I love the outdoors! I'd much rather be playing on this than typing or gaming.


Benicio: Okay, I'm done with the Scamp thingarino.
I really hope we're not expected to finish Social Butterfly.
Alejandro and I need some free time. I only have one friend my own age!


Sherilee: Things have vastly improved for me after Freelance Botanist!
I'm done with Fabulously Wealthy which, as we all know, goes well with painting and camping mascots.
Colt's really helped me out in that respect.
And I can finally fully upgrade our Snapple stove and fridge!


Lupe: An almost perfect shot of Gregorio and me on a perilous space adventure.
Too bad Tetsu decided to photobomb it!
Tetsu: Hey! When Gregorio was a nooboo, I was the one who looked after him!


Alejandro: Mama and Papa say we don't need to finish Social Butterfly.
Benicio: We're just here to earn some easy satisfaction points, that's all.

Sofia: These must be the new legacy kids living in Brindleton Bay.


Alejandro: Papa says it's impolite to ask a lady her age, but are you too old for me?
I may look like a little punk kid, but I'll be a teenager either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Sofia: I'm already a young adult, kiddo. Maybe you should meet my younger sister, Elsa.

Alejandro: Thanks, but no thanks. We're not allowed to move in premade townies like you and your sister.


Benicio: But you're the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life!
Yuki: You won't think so when you hear my third trait. Besides, you're too young for me.
Benicio: What is your third trait, Yuki?
Yuki (sighs): I'm evil.

Benicio: Oh, that's perfect! I'm a genius so we could be evil geniuses together!


Filly: Would you like to hear my haiku commemorating my first visit to Casbah Gallery?
I'm merely a spare.
When you're just a spare, who cares?
Our butler, that's who!


Gregorio: Tell me about it, sister!
Sherilee: Hey, you two! Stop playing the pity card!


Wednesday

Alejandro: Luckily for us, our watcher miscalculated our birthdays, hehe.
We've had a whole extra day to hang out and take it easy.

Benicio: Alejandro gets to go fishing but I'm learning to play piano? How's that fair?
I know, I know. It's my burden as a Top-Notch Toddler.
Anyway, I'm just glad Alejandro and I can skip Social Butterfly!


Gregorio: Today's my birthday, folks!
With my red hair and green eyes, I look like I share DNA with the twins, don't I?
I'm the fifth redhead in this house, but Uncle Colt's the only redhead with brown eyes.
By the way, I'm a Genius aspiring to become a Rambunctious Scamp.


Jose: I'm glad I've the day off today so I can celebrate the twins' birthday with them.
Alejandro: No, Papa! No photos! I'm wearing a hideous outfit!
Benicio: And what is this hairstyle I'm wearing?

Jose: You boys look quite handsome even before your makeovers.
Anyway, your mother won't be home for eight more hours, so…


Sherilee: Well, I guess that clears up the mystery about those rosebud lips!
Jose: The twins have the color of your hair and eyes. Their eyes resemble yours, too.
Sherilee: Yes, but their lips and jawline are all yours, sweetness.


Thursday

Sherilee: What luck that a single father with grade-school children moved in nearby yesterday!
Filly: I made friends with Rae last night. This is her brother Robert.
Once I'm friends with him, I'll be done with Social Butterfly! Yay!


Friday

Sherilee: I'm a little upset that I missed my Level 9 promotion today, but it couldn't be helped.
I spent my workday kissing hands and becoming the girlfriend of all my coworkers at The Lab.
Every.single.one. Well, that's why it's called an active career, right?
I also encountered a few strays to add to my count.

I'm just waiting for Jose to come home so we can go on those gold-medal dates.


Waiting for four songs to be written for Musical Genius on Short lifespan, ugh.
This is the moment just before Colt completes his fourth song!



Sherilee: In case you're wondering, Jose and I are as close as ever.
I'd told him a few days ago that I would be starting Serial Romantic.
Jose: And I told Sherilee about needing a third child for Big Happy Family last week.
Too bad you'd promised Lupe that she could adopt a child, Sherilee.

Sherilee: Yeah, I had the stupid notion that my secondary spouses should do something spouse-y. But that's just spilt milk now, darling Jose.
The question for today is: Are you ready for three sizzling-hot dates?

Jose and I have made "sacrifices" for our legacy--from now on, it's all uphill for the two of us!


Total Score: 29/103

A/N:
In this legacy, I may do some pollinating for spousal options but never to provide children for Social Butterfly.
Pinstar says: "You MAY move in new families into the neighborhood during your challenge (keeping in mind that they can be used for friends, but not spouses) but you may not play them."
Dario Thomson and his kids Rae and Robert are clarabarke382's "Single Dad," a #legacyloves household.



Please help choose the Gen2 Heir

Short lifespan sure moves quickly!
In four more sim-days, Alejandro and Benicio become young adults!
The candidate with the most votes becomes heir; the other remains in the legacy house as cadet.
In the absence of votes, I'll choose the next heir on the basis of merit.

I'm trying something new for this heir vote. If it ends up being a hassle for you and me, I'll try something different next time!

Alejandro Sharebear

Traits: Angelic/Happy Toddler; Loves the Outdoors, Unflirty (YA trait: Foodie)
Aspirations: W. Kid/A. Prodigy/R. Scamp; Computer Whiz (Tier III)
Career: Retail 2 (future Tech Guru)
Skills: L7 Violin, L4 Fishing/Programming/V. Gaming, L2 Charisma
Favorite color: All shades of blue
Hobbies: Fishing, programming, FF XV, scoffing at PDAs

Alejandro: I have to say that fate was much kinder to my brother when we rolled for traits and our first aspiration.
Once I'm a young adult, though, you know I'll be killing that Tech Guru career!
And just because I'm unflirty, that doesn't mean I'd make a bad heir!
Anyway, my parents have held onto four VIP buckets which trivialize my Unflirty trait!
What oomph I lack as a Happy Toddler, I make up for by dedicated efforts.

Benicio Sharebear

Aspirations: W. Kid/A. Prodigy/R. Scamp; Fab Wealthy, Nerd Brain (Tier II)

Benicio: You're probably thinking: "Oh, Nerd Brain…yawn!"
Can I just say that, after maxing Fab Wealthy, I deeply longed to be an  Archeology Scholar.
But I came to my senses and picked Nerd Brain. Someone has to get that UFO plant!
Definitely after Nerd Brain, though, I'm picking Archeology Scholar…
If you're a fan of versatility, vote for me! I'm a creative genius!
P.S. Did you notice I was a Top-Notch Toddler, too?

I went with Benicio on the deep and meaningful basis of his looks and the fact that I like orange better than blue :)
