It’s been a while since my last update. I injured my hand and couldn’t type for a while. Pro Tip: when chopping vegetables DO NOT LOOK AWAY! Maybe that should be called a Noob Tip, it was certainly a noob move. I did manage to play and take pictures so I have pictures for a few chapters. BUUUUUUUUUT I noticed that sims really weren’t repopulating and my world started to die. So I bit the bullet and downloaded MCCC which we will see later worked like a charm!
Last chapter in no particular order: Gnocchi was born, Cannoli graduated from university, the family moved, and Daiquiri died.
Edamame: How could you leave for this long? I felt like I was shoved into a box and forgotten.
Are you Shrodinger’s cat?
Edamame: I don’t know what that is, but I’m not an animal.
I have missed our conversations, Edamame. Let’s get on with this update.
Whatcha got there, Edamame? Is that a dessert?
Edamame: Shut up! Everyone is in bed; this is my time.
She snarfed it down and was gone like a fart in the wind.
Edamame: Wooo! Way to go. This is going to be the best cake ever! Then we’re going to throw it in the trash! Yaaaay!
Later that day Cannoli was making a cake for Adzuki’s birthday.
Edamame: I was cheering her on. I could be a motivational speaker.
Umm, ok…
As Cannoli was making a cake Adzuki thought the cake was for him and threw a fit because he aged up before it was ready.
Then he was upset because everyone forgot his birthday.
Adzuki: I see how it is!
Edamame: *speaking loudly* No, you had your birthday at the old house. You just want a reason to be grumpy.
Cannoli discovered that she is a foodie. This means Cannoli becomes the heir for Generation 2 unless Egg, Frosting, or Gnocchi also roll foodie. Then it’s a fight to the DEATH! Just kidding, there will be a vote.
Cannoli invited her young man over.
Edamame: Her “young man,” how old are you?
Not as old as I feel when we have these conversations.
Cannoli asked Pierce to marry her right there in the entryway.
Cannoli: Pierce, I might be heir to this legacy and I will need to name my children food names because it tickles the creator. Will you marry me?
Pierce Delgato: Whaaaa?
Edamame: Phew! You guys don’t want to go in there for a while.
Edamame: We call it the foyer because it’s French.
Wow, you completely ruined Cannoli and Pierce’s moment.
Edamame: Really? I thought I added a bit of a juxtaposition which made it more poignant.
No. Not at all.
Pierce said yes, then he went home for the night to tell his mother and sister the good news.
Edamame: What a Mama’s Boy.
Frosting: It’s a madhouse in there, I need some peace and quiet.
Frosting decided to do her school project by herself outside in the cold.
Gnocchi aged up completely forgotten with everything else going on.
Gnocchi: You forgot about me…
Edamame: You had a cake, it’s not my fault you couldn’t wait. Eh, you’ll get over it.
Edamame: What a crybaby.
Adzuki got to work on converting the crib into a toddler bed.
In the kitchen, Egg wanted to ask Cannoli her opinion about him asking Amie to marry him.
Egg: Once I graduate, I want to ask Amie to marry me.
Cannoli: Oh, Mom doesn’t really like her that much.
Egg: Yeah, she doesn’t like Mom either. How bad could it be?
How bad could it be, indeed.
Edamame: Whose Amie?
On the other hand, maybe it will be fine.
Money needs to keep flowing so I put Edamame to work.
Gnocchi: Wha i’ dat?
Edamame: That is our destruction.
Gnocchi: *cries*
Now Gnocchi is going to have nightmares and it’s your fault.
Edamame: And you think I am unmarked by her infant stage?
After she sold her painting, Edamame made B-Lister.
Edamame: I don’t understand why anyone would want to disguise themselves. I love attention.
You guys, seriously, I am the BEST sims player ever! I forgot another birthday. Where’s my Dundee?
Then it was Frosting’s turn. She actually made it to the cake!
She’s a cheerful freegan.
This will not do at all. Makeover time!
That’s much better.
Edamame: She’s so cute. It’s like looking in a mirror. I think she should be the heir. Not because she looks like me, but because she’s the best choice.
But Cannoli is a Foodie, we will see if Frosting gets Foodie as well.
Edamame: Aaand I’ll just put this in the trash.
No one ever gets cake.
Edamame: It happened once and you see what it did to Bacon’s face. She is scarred forever and will never be able to find herself a man because of it.
I’m sure her poopy fingers have nothing to do with that.
The girls started plotting a cake rescue.
Frosting: When Mom goes to sleep tonight we should totally get the cake out of the trash and eat some of it.
Cannoli: That’s disgusting, Frosting.
Frosting: Come on, aren’t you curious?
Cannoli: Hmmn, let me think about it.
Adzuki: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Edamame: *speaking loudly* You’re late, she’s already a teenager and planning to sneak cake when we are asleep. Nice try, girls. I’m putting the eggshells on it.
Cannoli and Frosting: Awe, Mom.
Adzuki: Give me a break. I’m old, it took me five minutes to walk over here.
Edamame: *speaking loudly* We are already talking about something else.
Edamame: I love disappointing my family. It makes me feel powerful.
That is a really weird thing to say.
Frosting: Did you see the pants Egg is wearing? The waist is hiked up all the way to his neck!
Cannoli: Uh, yeah! Hilarious!
Frosting: Shhh. Shhhh. *mouths* He’s right there!
Cannoli: *giggles*
Egg: *pauses*
Egg: Are you talking about me?
Frosting: Uh, no. I was just showing Cannoli a post on Social Bunny. Do you want to see it?
Frosting: Hold on, I gotta post a selfie.
Egg: No, I hate Social Bunny.
Frosting: *whispers* That’s because you’re an old man.
Later that night Frosting did indeed get a piece of cake.
The next day Cannoli and Pierce couldn’t wait any longer and they wed right in the middle of the living room.
Then Pierce moved into the Legacy House, changed his name to Ham, and got a job.
Cannoli also started her career.
It immediately became clear that Ham (Pierce) doesn’t understand the whole concept of cooking.
Cannoli: Put down the clay, Ham. We are cooking.
Frosting: I have a friend coming, is that okay?
Cannoli: The more there merrier.
Cannoli decided to hold cooking classes at home because she doesn’t want her husband anyone to burn down the house.
Frosting’s friend, McKenna Scott, came but had no interest in cooking.
But hey, Frosting now had a date for Prom.
Gnocchi was playing near an electrified puddle.
Bacon took her time deciding whether or not she should save her from danger. In the end, she did.
Edamame: This could have destroyed my legacy!
And Gnocchi could have died.
Edmaamem: Yeah, that too.
Winterfest came and everyone was invited to the Legacy House for dinner.
Supriya Delgato: Dang! My daughter-in-law can cook!
Supriya Delgato: Honey, I have got to have this recipe.
Cannoli: *smiles with pride*
Edamame: That was my recipe. I gave her that recipe.
Of course, you did. How could Cannoli have come up with something on her own?
Gnocchi: I can haz present?
Father Winter: Of course, you can little girl.
Dang, Father Winter, look at those teeth!
Edamame: That man gives me the creeps.
Didn’t you want Bacon to marry him?
Edamame: What are you, an elephant? How do you remember all of these things?
During the season premiere of Edamame’s favorite show, she demanded that everyone at home sit and watch with her.
Frosting: But I’m starving, can I at least make popcorn?
Edamame: Do not move from your seat. Ham get off that phone.
Frosting: I’m so hungry!
Ham: I really gotta use the toilet.
Gnocchi: *supersonic fart*
Edamame: NO ONE IS LEAVING! You all knew this was coming. Now sit and enjoy.
Frosting: Cheese Louise, Ham. Did you fudge your pants with that fart?
Ham: No. That wasn’t me.
Frosting: Sure, Ham, sure. It certainly smells like it came from you.
Ham: It was Gnocci, not me.
Frosting: Blaming it on a toddler is a new low, Ham.
Edamame: I should have just watched it by myself, I would have enjoyed it more.
Cannoli came home from work with pepperoni pox. She had to quarantine from the rest of the family.
She also discovered a new trait: overachiever. Cannoli is the workhorse of the house.
Edamame: How dare you. I give everything to this legacy.
Not everything is about you, Edamame.
Edamame: But it should be.
Oh no!
Adzuki NO!
Edamame: Such a dramatic way to die.
Edamame begged for his life, but in the end, the Reaper was unmoved.
That’s when Edamame discovered her final trait. I think I speak for all of us when I say no one is surprised.
Let’s check out the points earned in this chapter:
Ham’s unique spouse traits are: Adventurous and Goofball
Cannoli maxed the handiness skill
Adzuki maxed programming.
Adzuki also completed his aspiration. He didn’t even get to retire and enjoy his last days.
Edamame maxed her career.
According to my spreadsheet, I now have a total of 8 points. I don’t know if this is accurate; I have not done a great job of keeping track.
