The Waveborn Legacy - Series Two, Episode Seven! (She's Beauty, She's Grace...She'll Punch You In The Face...)

Second episode of the day! (I'm trying to make up for my absence, guys!)

So, Mariana painted a portrait of Rudolph, and I've put it between the portraits of her and Issac. He looks so proud! He's officially in the portrait room now!

(I love starting traditions.)

Seeing as the garden is starting to tug in a lot of money, I decided to add a few touches. For example, enlarging the kitchen and a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table...

A marine-themed throw on the bed of the Dowager Bedroom...

And doors to the outside, because the next big step of my slow design-money-wasting hobby is getting us a pool! (Which, because he cannot be having with strenuous exercise, Oldtime Muscledad will not be using.)
The house really is starting to look classy, and proper! I love it! It just honestly looks so nice. I might as well get some kids' equipment too, at some point, but I just love this house.

And now for the titular character of our episode...
Meet Mackenzie!

She, Rudolph, and her blue eyebrows met at the park, and got along extremely well! They got to know each other first, before Rudolph's Loner trait kicked in and he needed to head back home...

And after he had calmed and relaxed, he invited her over to hang out!

After a bit of mutual flirting, their first kiss happened, and after some heavy flirting, she moved in! It's official - Rudolph has a Spouse for his era of the Legacy!

However, no Waveborn spouse is going to have mismatching eyebrows, so I decided to give our newest addition a makeover!

Here's her non coloured brows and new hair:

Her party outfit! It's custom content, and I just...
I love the lemon dress.

And her everyday outfit! I think she looks much better like this, but I have only changed clothes and hair. Her facial features remain the same <3

Seeing as the Master Bedroom is now in use, I've turned Rudolph's old room into a painting studio, with a chair for portraits. This should come in handy, as we now need to paint Mackenzie's portrait and put it on the wall next to Rudolph's, but also it's a nice little space for when he needs to calm down from the Tense moodlet Loner Sims get when they're too surrounded.

AND THE BIG NEWS...
Confetti, signalling one thing...

Yup, Mackenzie is pregnant! I'm wondering if she might be having twins because of how big the bump is, but I wondered the same thing with Mariana. Nevertheless, the third generation is on its way (and not a moment too soon, considering Issac's age!)

Oh, I forgot - I also splashed out for a less-breakable computer and television! Seeing as we're getting more money now, it's simply easier if our things break less.

Meeting the future in-laws. Seemed hilariously awkward, so I had to get a screenshot.

She seems to be getting on alright with Issac, though, despite her having (oh noes!) the Mean trait. Maybe they're discussing the baby?

And last but not least, the newest fish - also known as Juleka! Yup, I named the fish after the girl from Miraculous Ladybug. It was just all the purple!

Any name suggestions? Leave them in the comments!

The Waveborn Legacy - Series Two, Episode Six! (I'LL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU)

Hello, my lovelies!
I have not updated in FOREVER! I've been quite busy with other commitments, but hey, I alone can update this, right? So I've been playing today, and boy, do we have quite the little update!
First off, Tada has been asking to come visit quite a bit, and I finally let him over (he was asking at weird times before), so the brothers got to spend some time together!

However, he once more went to the computer in his old room, while Vino went to relieve some tension by doing Yoga. Tada, I'm sorry! Don't hate the Watcher!

In other news, my thirst for renovations crept up on me again, and I decided to make a cute little neutral toddler room for when Rudolph and his future spouse have children. I found a really cute wallpaper (CC) and based the room around that!

I really love the toddler update, especially the little fluffy cloud lights. They're adorable.

It's right next to the children's room, too! It would have been elsewhere, but corridors can be pernickety, and this was the best way to sort that. Also, it's close to the Master Bedroom in case the toddlers have nightmares!

I also completed my goal of having an enclosed and pretty garden where the gravestones can go! I couldn't resist getting a Weeping Cherry Tree (because what better tree to place gravestones under) but I was kind of surprised by the size of it!

Also the Ivy League fence and gate is officially my favourite. Such detail <3

But Lilypad! All of this, you say, is your normal stuff, and doesn't relate to the title! What makes this such a big update?

Well, mon chers, guess what this little object is?

That's right, Rudolph's birthday rolled around! And the birthday magic to turn him into a proper legacy-continuing Young Adult is just visible!

Make a wish!

And here he is! The current heir of the Waveborn Legacy, ready to get a job and carry it on, Rudolph Waveborn!

Guys, I'm so proud of him. We've seen him grow from a fussy little kid to the HEIR of the ENTIRE LEGACY. His paintings have brought in enough money to turn it from a boxy little bare essentials house into a reasonable little place, and I'm sure that he will continue to make our family tree grow strong!

As we will no doubt be hearing the pitter patter of little feet soon enough, please leave any name suggestions below!

See you next time, my dears!

The Waveborn Legacy - Series Two, Episode Five! (Laurel and Hardy)

Greetings, my lovelies!
So, I've recently set up another Legacy Challenge blog, which you can go and read here ! That being said, I've been focusing on it for the past day or so, so I felt it was time to get back to the Waveborns.

The house is coming together quite nicely now. Hopefully, I can soon sort out the garden to a more aesthetically pleasing little place, but my money had to be spent...on bills. Yes, those dreadful things came around again! This time, they were about §1,300, so I guess that our expenses have gone up.

The living room has been moved around, and I've bought a fishtank and two fancy goldfish.

In this photo, you can see the fish! There's such a lot of detail in this game that it astounds me. I've called the fish Laurel and Hardy.

I also found Malcolm Landgraab had at some point wandered into the house. Immediately, he was asked to leave.

(I just don't like the dude.)

Our current heir, although he is close to aging up, has been coming home from school extremely tense. Seeing as he needs to relax, I had him take a nice soothing mud bath, which seemed to do the trick.

And in order not to upset tradition, as there was stress in the house, the shower broke. :(

As did the toilet.
Luckily, Mariana was on hand to fix both, but I'm a little concerned that this keeps happening. Still, they're the cheapest in plumbing, so this can pretty much be expected.

Vino has recently just been leaving plates all over the shop, so I'm definitely going to have him fall in love and move out, although not in the style of Tada. He literally just makes EVERYTHING dirty! Seriously, I can't even with that boy. Rudolph's having to clean up after his brother all the time!

Evidence - the amount of bowls he's left on this table.

Even with Laurel and Hardy, the living room was still looking quite bare, so I decided it was time to PUT DOWN SOME RUGS! These are custom content, and they're so nice and marine-themed. Nautical!

And yes, Rudolph got one for his room. His toes need to be cosy.

Speaking of our heir, he's been painting away. Laurel and Hardy look very happy next to this...actually beautiful painting. This one I actually nearly kept, but it was a Masterpiece, so I had to sell it. Boo.

And...I completed the (plain but pretty nice) Master Bedroom! The door is locked, but it's waiting for the day he brings home his One True Love, which should actually be pretty soon! Hopefully, the glitch I've been having at the moment where they have just been taking a piece of the cake as soon as they bake it should clear up by then. Even when I cancel the action of taking a piece, it still happens!


But even if Rudolph does end up aging automatically, this cosy little Master Bedroom will await him and his future bride. Seeing as I don't actually know the young adults around here, it should be...fun trying to find a lady love for him, because I haven't scouted like I did with Tada.

I wonder what the next spouse will look like?

During the time where I was trying to host a birthday party, I invited Johanna and Tada over. Vino clearly wasn't happy to see Johanna...

"DAD. WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?"

While Tada didn't speak to anyone and just headed for the computer in his old room. I think...I think he might still be mad at me.
Please don't hate me, Tada!

However, Issac ended up aging automatically!
I'm probably going to have to change his pjs. Vocaloid T-Shirts just...aren't Oldtime Muscleman's thing anymore.

He's still handy with that Upgrade skill, though!

I also wanted to share this pretty peaceful picture of Rudolph, which I'm tempted to put at the top of the page. Heck, I might even do so after I've posted this episode! It's just a nice, calm screenshot.

Mariana's also been using the easel to paint, and although her paintings aren't on Rudy's level, they are pretty nice, and bring in money. So at the moment, we're back to §2,000 and counting!

The Waveborn Legacy - Series Two, Episode Four! (WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION...)

Welcome back!

So today, the 19th, is my birthday, and a member of my family bought me the Romantic Garden Stuff pack! Inspired by that, though kind of unable to do anything like use the statues to create a proper garden, I've upgraded the garden, as it were, to raised beds!

The two plants in pots are hybrid plants, and I have since moved them to allow more room for watering. I'm really pleased, though, as the next step is a proper garden, with railings! I'm undecided as to whether or not I should keep it at the side of the house  or not, because it might be better to move it to the back.

Either way, I'm very happy with it, as it's more of a solid looking garden, and if I do move it to the back, I can create an area with statues and maybe even a fountain or two in the future, which would be really nice.

Mariana's painting skill is still being honed, and I also want to get back to her wellness skill. I think I've given up slightly on getting her and Issac married properly, so I'm planning to have them elope. However, money is in the bank to make sure that Rudolph is married in the proper way.

Also, the giant bunny that keeps appearing in paintings is just creepy.

But while money may be in the bank, we all know what happens when money is in the bank. It's like I just look at this house and think 'Now, how to burn my Simoleons?'

Well, we did need a dining room! So, as planned, I extended and moved back the kitchen.

Which left room to create this pretty little room! Lighting isn't much, but that can be dealt with later. The brocade is actually a pretty simple one, rather than one from the Vintage Stuff pack. It's actually very nice, and to be honest I didn't want something that matched the portrait room, as I want that to be the most elegant of all the rooms, and not match any other room wallpaper-wise.

For the dining table and chairs, I went with just four chairs and a small table, for now. It looks quite nice, if plain, and soon enough I'll make sure that it's got a bit more decoration. At the moment, however, it'll do, and it's very nice, really! I should probably sell on the placeholder table and chair, actually - I've just realised while typing that I didn't.

All in all, it's very nice!

Nice enough that our current heir is deigning to eat within its walls, anyway. 

I also moved, extended, and tiled the bathroom that was previously next to the study and the dining room, as I thought the dining room was a little small, and could use some breathing space. This gave me room to add a bath, which gives us a few more options, like mud baths and so on! It looks pretty nice, huh?

I'll probably be adding an en suite bathroom to this room...The master bedroom! This will probably be my more immediate project, the door to which will stay locked until Rudolph brings home his spouse. Doesn't look too big at the moment, but I'll make it larger and also quite fancy, if I can. Rudolph will keep on painting, and Vino is definitely getting a job as soon as he hits Young Adult. 

It's odd to think that this is really becoming a Legacy house - and more to the point, that Rudolph will be passing on the Legacy along with this house, someday. And this will be the Master Bedroom - The Master Bedroom? For ages, the main bedroom doubled as a kitchen and living room! Talk about progress.

And as time is moving on, I finally did it. I finally changed Mariana's pyjamas from the kitty cat nightgown. Why? Because pretty soon, she and Issac will both become old. So here's something more suited to her age, and very elegant to boot.

And yes, that is from the Vintage Stuff pack. I can't get enough of the Vintage Stuff. It's awesome.

While I was at it, I also changed her party dress into something classy and simple, as she still had Sailor Uranus' dress for parties.

I know that Rudolph is the heir, but I need to make sure that she's comfortable! She is our founder, after all, and Rudolph is currently a Teen.

I have got to work on his Aspiration, however, and he's completed the first milestone! Now to evolve five different plants and get him to Level 4 of the Gardening skill....

To be honest, he's getting very good at painting. I mean, he's making a lot of money that I'm attempting to stockpile rather than spend, and he'd probably do very good portraits now. The next portrait he does, however, will be that of his spouse. Still, he still is very good at what he does, and I'm proud of the boy.

 And finally, a nice picture of Mariana in her new nightclothes! She really looks so elegant...I hope that we get a descendant who looks the spitting image of her someday.

That's all for today! See you another time!
