At long last, it's time for another update! (This is what I do instead of making their new house.)



Buck came home and got right to working on his Life Time Want: Max out all skill levels. All he did was study, study, study. He was boring as hell, thus there's not a lot of pictures of him in this update. Seeing as how the family has a truckload of money, I didn't bother getting him a job right away so that he could get the LTW out of the way.



He did take a break long enough the next day to invite Viv over. He seems quite pleased to see her.



He asks if she'd like to shack up with him in his parents' house, and she agrees. Cause, you know, it's every girl's dream to live in sin with the man she loves while under his parents' roof.



I decided it was time to lose the braids and look a bit more grown up. I'm not sure I dig the new hair though. I've downloaded a ton recently and just need to take the time to add it to the game.



::cue porn music::

OK, so I take it back. All Buck has done thus far is study and have sex. Buck is having a very cushy life.



Family tradition dictates that they must get married in the bathroom, so they do. No one took a massive dump this time though, so I guess that's an improvement.



Oh look! Aspen came for a visit!

Aspen: I was having lots and lots of sex in college, Mom. All the girls wanted me. So you see, I'm not gay.
Erin: Sure, son. I believe you. Honestly I do.

Aspen didn't even have one girlfriend in college, and the only sex he may have had was with his hand. That totally doesn't count, Aspen.



Viv: Gee, could I be pregnant?

Well, you are the brood mare for this generation, so I'm guessing that's a yes.

By the way, Viv's LTW is to reach the top of the gamer career. They already have the reward that comes with that career, so I guess the spare will just have to go to college with the kids. That should be a pain in the ass. All the college kids will either be hitting the bubble bong or the pinball machine.  *sigh*



Viv: Holy crap! I've suddenly gained some weight!
Me: No, you're pregnant.
Viv: I am? Oh my!

College graduate, folks. Probably a community college...

Um, Kelli? Aren't  you attending a community college?

I'm sorry, reader comments are no longer allowed.



Erin, the family artist, painted Buck's legacy portrait. It joined hers in the upstairs hall.



Erin: Again?
Me: That's usually the way it works, yes.
Erin: Why does this always happen when I've been sleeping?I'm so tired!
Me. Welcome to parenthood. I've not slept properly since 1996.

Holy shit! I've not had a decent night's sleep since 1996!!! Suddenly that joke isn't so funny! :(



Somewhere along the line they were given a genie lamp.



I'm boring though and don't do a whole lot when my Sims are given a genie lamp. I think they've made one wish. I want a wish where they can make friends because they're in desperate need of some. Alas, this is not an option.



"Um, yoo-hoo!"
Now what?
"Might someone pay attention to me for a minute instead of that damn genie?"




"My cooking seems to have given me stomach cramps!"
Well, you do need more cooking skill, but I really think you're just in labor.
"Which means...?"
What was your major again?
"Undecided. Why?"
Why am I not surprised?



It's a boy! Dad's skin tone, Mom's eyes. They named him Birch.

Don't let that loving look on Viv's face fool you. She placed Birch on the floor as soon as she had him. She's a Knowledge Sim, she should know better.

Buck, also a Knowledge Sim, has been the one to do most of the training, and he's forever picking the newborn children up off the floor once Viv has them.



Nothing exciting happens for a long while. Buck studies his fool head off, Viv goes to work and doesn't get promoted because I keep forgetting to work on her skills. Therefore, let's go ahead and transition Birch to toddlerhood, shall we?



He's cute! I love that outfit he's wearing!



Viv kisses the toilet again.



Here we go again.

You know, I'm not sure what it is about Vivian, but I really don't like her now. I loved her when she was in college, but things have been different ever since she changed hairstyles. I don't know why, but that's just how it is. Maybe I really should change her again.



Tom Cruise in his farewell performance: Hula Zombies Gone Bad

I was giggling so much over the hula zombies that it really didn't phase me Allem died.



Immediately afterward, Birch had a birthday. How unfortunate is that? Your grandpa dies on your birthday. That can't be a good omen.



Awww....he's so cute!

Erin: Can you suck it up a little? My kid just had a birthday! You can cry over your ugly dead husband once we've had cake, ok?

Suddenly it just occurred to me why I don't like Viv anymore.



She looks like Barbra Streisand! What is it with this legacy? Everyone has to marry creepy celebrity look-alikes? Even the eye make-up is the same. Good grief!



Yep, pop #2. Yay rah. The family is very boring in this update.



Death and the Hula Zombies came to take Erin the next evening. She was happy to go.

See the guy standing there acting like a twit? He's the food delivery guy, but apparently he works two jobs because Erin was always bringing him home from work. Like every single frickin' day. He's not been back since she died, and I'm not really sorry.



"Lamaz classes did not help one bit!"

I personally am convinced women are taught Lamaz breathing just because it amuses the doctors and nurses.



Meet Poplar Asherwood. I get the feeling she's going to look a lot like Viv.



It didn't take long for Erin to make her ghostly appearance, but her hair is too bright to see her face properly.



Awwww....they grow so fast!



She's adorable!!! I still think she's going to look just like Viv though. That's all this legacy needs, Babs Jr.





Baby #3 is now developing.



You know, I'm not an expert, but perhaps it's time to take this child to a dentist. Stat.



Ka-pow!
Pop #2!



Buck finally managed to get his LTW and is now perma-plat! That makes things a lot easier.



Home birth is not the way to go.



It's a boy! His name is Pine.




Birthday time!



I used to give the same phony smiles as a kid whenever wanted to take my picture. Seriously, I have proof. However, no one will ever see the photos. Bwahahahaha!!!!



Um, hello? Why are you two playing catch in the family cemetery? Have you  no respect for the dead?



This is Tina Traveller. She's from a pre-made Maxis family, but I fell in love with her as soon as she stepped off the bus! She's way cool!



Pine's turn to toddler up.



Yeah, I think he's going to be a clone of Birch.



You're kidding, right?



She's not kidding.

She looks rather distressed, doesn't she?



Pine had to toddle out to the family cemetery to ask for a bottle. What is it with this family wanting to hang out with dead people? That can't be a healthy way for the kids to grow up.



Birch lights the candles on his own birthday cake.

That's just pathetic.



He's pretty darn cute!



Hee hee hee! After eating a slice of cake, Birch realized he's overweight. So what does he change in to? A ballet outfit. And now we know, Birch is just as gay as Uncle Aspen.

"I am not gay!" 

That's what your Auntie Aspen always said too. hee hee hee!

"Grrr..."



Ghostly Erin came to visit again, and this time she was a major pain in the ass! First she scared the crap out of Viv.



Then she scared Birch.



Then she scared Viv again! Erin, if you scare her into premature labor, I'm going to put a moat around the graveyard! Do you hear me? Knock it off!



She then took to possessing items such as her old lamp. I have no clue why Erin was so crabby. I didn't delete her bed or any of the other stuff that ticks a ghost off.



Allem showed up the next night. It was his first appearance since his death. Hey, Allem! Learn to control that cranky wife of yours, will ya?




Pine's birthday!

Buck's new LTW was to become a writer, so he got a career in that field. Now he's walking around with a camera hanging about his neck.



Yep, total Birch clone.



See? Right down to the same hairstyle.





What's your problem? Don't like that your sons are identical?

"I feel funny."


Great. If you gotta hurl, go to the bathroom, ok?




Oh, you're in labor. You'd think with this being her fourth pregnancy, she'd learn to tell the signs of labor by now, you know? Allem sure seems interested in the impending birth.



Another girl, and she has her daddy's eyes! They named her Tulip. As in a tulip tree, not the flower. (Hey, you try picking the right tree name for a girl! Or a boy for that matter!)

That was supposed to be it for this update, but Birch insisted I post one last picture.



He and Tina have fallen in love. Awwwwww.....

"Told you I'm not gay!"

Well, I will say you've gotten further with a girl than your uncle Aspen, but I'll believe you're not gay when I see you have sex with a girl.

"You're a total perv!"

No, wait! That's not what I meant! I mean...aw, hell!

Birch may have to die in the next episode.
