S2S Legacy Challenge: The Fennell Legacy: Gen. 1k

[sims_by_izza]

In our last episode: Helena was epic fail as a nanny, Bryn and Josie tried for another baby, but failed and Carrie grew in to an adorable child.


Carrie: *strikes a pose*
Carrie has a cuter geeky child dance than Natasha did.  It's not so much geeky as adorable...


Bryn: "Look at me!  I'm finally walking against the wind!"
Yeah.  Tooo bad you haven't been a mime for years... it doesn't quite work if you're not a mime...
Bryn: *ignores*


What's wrong, Carrie?
Carrie: "I got a bad report card.  It's only my first day of school!  Why is she grading me already?  I don't think the teacher likes me..."
Bus Driver: *is amused*


At least most of the townies are kind to Carrie.  She enjoyed a pleasant game of catch to blow off steam after enduring a mean teacher on her first day of school.


Playing catch couldn't have been further from Natasha's mind, however.  She desperately wanted to stop being so dateless, so she drove to town to scope for hotties.  She immediately spotted Virgil, whom she has three bolts for!  I'm not even going to comment on her finding him so hot because he reminds her of her daddy... okay, I lied!  She has issues!  Commence first date!


Virgil: "You are gorgeous!!"
Natasha: "Really?  You think I'm gorgeous?  Awww... you're sweet..."
Edmund: *enjoys open mic inside with no audience*
Virgil expressed a wish to grab a bite to eat, so Natasha drove them over to The Little Green Diner to indulge the whim.


Virgil: "You remind me of somebody... didn't I see you win the award for best adult movie actress?  What are you doing waiting tables?"
Waitress: *glares*
Natasha: "Teehee.  You're so bad!"


Natasha: He eats with the same enthusiasm as my daddy, too...
Faerie Townie: *stalks Natasha* "What does that guy have that I don't?"


After dinner, they had their picture taken together.  However, immediately afterwards, Virgil jumped back in the booth to get a picture by himself while Natasha fired up the jukebox.  Can you hear that?  That's "You're So Vain" playing in the background...
Virgil has tiny eyebrows!  It can't go unsaid.  He also has untucked jeans with a base game top, causing a nightmare of buttcrack exposure.  He was hard to get pictures of due to the buttcrack issue, and I hope you appreciate the efforts I went to in subtly not exposing it to you.  Virgil's buttcrack = not subtle at all!


A little dance and a first kiss later, and Natasha's first date was over.  It went quite well and she and Virgil are crushing on each other pretty hard now.


Carrie has developed a keen enthusiasm for playing her mother's new piano these last few days.
Tactless Townie: "Oh god!  Make her stop!  My ears!"
It's called practice.  Tactless Townie is tactless and mean.


She's not too bright though... lightning + jumping in puddles = very badly thought out....


Helena: "Well, if there's bad food on the counter I can't cook."
So... you're just gonna leave the food you just got out of the refrigerator on the floor?  Along with that baby bottle that is still there?  You know, doing dishes is not impossible.  I know I've seen other nannies do it!
Helena earns around $160 a day to abuse bubbles and neglect children.  She is fail!  Well, actually, considering the family continues to employ her, she's kind of win.  In her mind, it must be a pretty sweet job - plenty of simoleons and no consequences for her actions.


Virgil enjoyed his date with Natasha.  The first love letter is an important milestone in every young girl's life.


Carrie: "I'm hungry, Nanny Helena.  When's dinner ready?"
Helena: *ignores*


Natasha has made another bestie.  This is Bindi, who comes from the islands.  After coming home with Natasha from school one day, presumably the last day before she returned to the islands, Natasha was keen to invite Bindi back.  She has spent the last few days staying with the Fennell family as an exchange student.  All this time spent together has assured that Natasha and Bindi are BFFs.
She frighteningly looks like Bindi Irwin might look in a few years (this pic isn't a great shot of that resemblance).  The coincidence in her name and looks amuses me more than it probably should...


Stray kitty doesn't believe the Fennells should enjoy clean laundry.


Carrie: "I love my daddy so much.  He makes me ice cream sundaes and never judges me.  Sure, he believes ice cream should be eaten with a fork, but that just makes him more wonderful."


Carrie's daddy loves her too.  As soon as he realized his youngest was keen to go fishing, he had a pond installed in the backyard and stocked with fish.  Carrie hasn't caught anything yet, but it's only a matter of time...


It's Kor'a Lys by boolpropbea !  She didn't stay long, though.  She exhausted herself on the family's obstacle course.  I hope to see her come by more often in future.


Lissa Pearce: "What are you drawing?"
Josie: "I'm working on Natasha's portrait.  I just finished Carrie's, and Natasha would be very hurt if both portraits weren't side by side in the living room."
Lissa is one of my own sims.  I plan to release her someday...


I thought this day might never come!  Hooray for Bryn!


He still updates his cuisine blog every day.  Usually in the middle of the night when he gets up.  Being elderly means he has a lot of night hours to fill before anybody else gets up.  He cooks more now too - breakfast is usually on the table when the rest of the family awakens.
Josie's portraits of the girls = hideous!

Cameos:
All Faerie Townies are made-over clones of Almighty Hat's "Stolen By Fairies" PTs.
Ticky Telling belongs to Pooklet.
Kor'a Lys belongs to boolpropbea .

Aww, Carrie is so sweet and funny. And she is an awesome fisher too!
Natasha and Virgil are such a cute couple, even though their first date was a bit awkward (creepy Faerie stalker is creepy!), I hope you will let them stay togheter!
