Sharebears 9.94: The End of This Journey (Completed 13 Mar 2020)

[reggikko]

Ugh. All of this sounds nightmarish to me. It's a shame that finishing up your Legacy is proving to be an exercise in frustration. You're almost there, though!

Ugh. All of this sounds nightmarish to me. It's a shame that finishing up your Legacy is proving to be an exercise in frustration. You're almost there, though!

My return to this Sharebears Legacy has been mostly agonizing.
From now on, I'll play on triple speed to complete the last two careers, have the last heir, and call it a wrap.

9.93: Buckling Down

Week 29/Wednesday (Spring, Day 4)

Urchin: My sister, Ume, is a Level 8 Stylist now.
She successfully negotiates a bonus, but her performance bar barely budges.


Thursday

With her dark hair and green eyes, Ume is a gorgeous sim.
I feel bad she's stuck helping me with the Stylist career.
I'm sure there are other things she'd rather be doing with her life.

This morning, I give her a pre-work aromatherapy massage for good luck.
She doesn't earn a promotion today but she's incredibly close.


Friday

Ume easily earns her Level 9 promotion this evening.
Since I work tomorrow from 9 a.m., Ume hopes the Well will guarantee her last promotion.
But the Well goes one better and grants her a full promotion.
Even the Well looks happy for my sister!


Today's Love Day but Ume's the only one who hasn't enjoyed this holiday.
I invite one of Noel's former roommates over. Do you remember Andy?
I'm hoping the two of them will hit it off for Love Day.
Wow, do they ever!


When Andy agrees to be her boyfriend, Ume jumps at least a foot off the ground.
And Andy also looks really happy. He lets out a manly squee, even.
She quits her job and decides she wants to embark on a new life with Andy.


As the spare, Ume's done more than enough to support me already.
She's always wanted to have a family.
Now that she's maxed her career, there's nothing keeping her here anymore.
I just hope that, when she moves out, she'll be living nearby.


I cannot wait to be finished with my Acting career.
All the fans and paparazzi constantly invade our privacy.
Papa shoos away an unknown fan watching Ume and Andy outside their bedroom.
So creepy!


Saturday

We'd all thought that Ume would want a big wedding.
But she and Andy get married quietly this morning at our home wedding arch.
Awww, look at her little baby bump!
Oh, I need to finish getting ready for today's gig!


Apparently, I have a guest appearance in a TV medical series.
I'm a highly professional doctor who yells at her patients and hits on an intern.
Since I can't rehearse the flirty emotion at the Studio, the Flirt and Kiss scenes worry me.


Luckily, the director seems to love my smooch scenes.
I earn a gold rating and the most money I've ever earned in one gig.
And what's matters most of all, I get a promotion to Level 8!


 Back home, I'm feeling lucky about using my once-in--a-lifetime wish.
I visit our Wishing Well, who looks pleased with my generous offering.
So far, so goo!


I am beyond ecstatic!
The well grants me a full promotion to Level 9 Superstar!


Teagan: How's everything going with your career, Urchin?
Urchin: Thanks to today's gig and the Wishing Well, I only need one more promotion!
My next gig's on Tuesday, Papa.

Teagan: Does that mean you'll be done with Acting on Tuesday?
Urchin: I doubt it. I'll probably need two more gigs to earn my last promotion.
I'm thinking that I'll be done by next Friday, with luck.


Teagan: Well, don't forget we're all going to the Starlight Accolades tomorrow.
Urchin: Oh no, we are not!  I have to go alone, Papa!
I can't even take Noel along for fear he'll win the Best Video award!

Teagan: It's no big deal, Urchin. If you get an award, that's great.
If you don't, that's not the end of the world.
Urchin: I agree! I'll be happy just to max the Acting career!



Week 30/Sunday (Summer, Day 1)

Our Watcher completely panics to see me looking very pregnant today.
How? I'm certain Noel and I didn't try for baby on Love Day!
Luckily, Watcher resets me and I'm back to my slender self again.
Whew!


At the Starlight Accolades, I'm the first award recipient of the evening.
I'm so busy reacting in disgust to the presenter, I almost don't get to accept my award.
Ahem, thank you, one and all. I'm very grateful for this recognition of my work!

Watcher has been a nervous wreck all day, after reading a Watcher's post on reddit.
Apparently, that Watcher's sim has yet to receive an award after 2 sim-years!


Before leaving BPB Studio, I become good friends with Brytani Cho.
She is a stunning sim, don't you think?
If I hadn't already met Noel….


Tuesday

Today, I'm starring in the film Treasures of Aarbyville.
As usual, I spend half my time on the prep tasks but manage to squeeze in costume.
I wonder what my hair should have looked like.


I finish the shoot a little early so I flatter the the Director a bit.
Does that even help?

Regardless, I earn gold for this movie gig and earn $9,985.
And that means I have completed my Master Actress aspiration.


Arriving home, I receive another wonderful surprise.
I've maxed the Actress career!

Ume's already packed up and ready to move in with Andy.
Where is Noel? I need to tell him we can try for baby tonight.


Up next: Come and meet the last Sharebear heir!

[reggikko]

Wow, awesome job! Congrats on finally finishing.

[oshizu]

Thank you, reggikko. But one more thing needs to happen to complete a Pinstar Legacy: the birth of the 10th-generation heir.
We're almost there!

9.94: The End of This Journey

Week 30/Tuesday (Summer/Day 3)

As soon as I've quit my Acting career, I head inside to share today's plans with Noel.
Then, I help my sister Ume age up her twins.
Here they are, fresh out of their bassinets.


Isn't black hair genetically dominant over red hair?
Not for Ume's twins!


And then Ume and her toddlers are ready to move in with Andy.
She doesn't even wait to give them makeovers first.
They're living in that little beach house between here and Chateau Frise.


Noel can't wait for us to start our own family!
Among his former roomies at the Orphanage, he was the first to move out and get married.
But then he's been watching with envy as they all became fathers first, even Andy!




Perhaps a sim discovering that they're eating for two is nothing special to you.
But for our household, it means everything!
Nine generations of Sharebears have been working hard toward this moment!


What a long, long day this had been.
It started with Ume and Andy getting married followed by my last acting gig.
And it ends with the four of us celebrating the Summer Solstice.


Wednesday

Papa completed Big Happy Family after th birth of my sister's twins.
Yes, due to some youthful indiscretions, Papa has two other grandkids out there somewhere.
I read a Parenting book, thinking to benefit from his Patriarch trait.

But then I realize that Noel and I will not be raising our offspring.
Extremely sad, really, so we shall try not to dwell on it.


Noel and I consider the various ways we might enjoy our last day together.
Noel suggests skinny dipping in the hot tub.
Ironically, now that we have the free time, my pregnancy prevents me from all of the fun stuff.
Just one more day!


Thursday

The time has come!
Noel shows his support by running around in pre-natal panic.
We have optimistically placed two bassinets.


And I give birth to triplets instead!


You can't see him at all, but our firstborn is a boy, Sunny, our 10th-generation Sharebear heir!
We name his two sisters Care and Cher.

And this marks the official end of the journey for this Sharegears legacy.


For your viewing pleasure, however, we have illegally aged up the triplets.
That's the heir Sunny in the center.
Care (left) is the middle child and Cher (right) is the youngest.
Both Sunny and Care have my red hair and green eyes.
Cher, on the other hand, has Noel's blond hair and grey eyes.


And….that's all, folks!



Final Legacy Score: 106 points

Some Last Remarks
*A big thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey: those who started their own Sharebear Legacy, those who generously shared their sims,
and those who have occasionally stopped by to see what's going on with these Sharebears.
*These Sharebears' legacy is over, but these triplets will no doubt reappear in a future Sims 4 next project.

:::Throws confetti:::   YAY!

[Teresa]

Congratulations!

[sdhoey]

Congrats. Well, not all Sharebear's are over, just on hold. I have to finish mine. Your tenth gen is so cute.

[oshizu]

@reggikko and @Teresa
Thanks! Playing Pinstar's Legacy on Short Lifespan worked wonderfully for eight generations, until the Acting career!

Congrats. Well, not all Sharebear's are over, just on hold. I have to finish mine. Your tenth gen is so cute.

Thanks for catching that. I mean to say the legacy of these Sharebears, not all Sharebears, is over.

[LenaLJ]

A big congratulations on finishing

A big congratulations on finishing

Thank you, @LenaLJ !
I was so close to finishing when I stopped in 2018. It feels great to have actually finished it!

[PeregrineTook]

Congratulations!!!  It's tough to come back to a dynasty/legacy/challenge/etc. after a hiatus, but you finished it in grand style! Thanks for starting this wonderful Sharebear fun in motion and congratulations again on seeing it through to the end!
