Gustavsson Legacy IV - Generation 2

Marja had already aged up before Ingolf. They were still all over each other, though. I have never seen this before. Ok, they are both Knowledge sims, but still, the wants windows are both filled with wants to talk, play, flirt, wohoo with the other - constantly. It is not even spring! And they only share two bolts. Nevertheless, this couple is definitely in love.

While the kids were still in college, Ingolf became elder.

 

He looks goregous, doesn´t he?

They threw a party for the occasion, and the kids came over. Marja is so proud of her sons! (Ok, I admit, the look in her face is rather blank, just pretend she is looking proudly :-))

I don´t know where Anders went, but I have grown more and more attached to Flynn and Arkadij.



The two elders are having a good time. When they are not kissing or hugging, Ingold loves to smustle, and Marja is the bathtub pirate. They both retired and enjoy they quiet time with each other.





Or they smustle together and make me feel like I play an asylum challenge again.


Marja still has that secret, never-expressed crush on John Hunter. They have been best friends forever, and he is so dear to her heart. If the rules (which I broke quickly in generation 2) did not state that the founder had to marry a townie, she would have been together with John. Well, some things are not meant to be, but I always get a little melancholic when I see these two together.



Basic finished University a semester earlier than Anders and already moved in with the Gustavssons.



 
Then I went and played Cissy´s Beauty Palace, and darn ACR kicked in when Flynn and Basic were there at the same time.



I could not believe my eyes. Flynn, would you please stop kissing your brother´s fiance and soon to be the heir´s spouse??? Aargh. Sometimes I hate ACR. Basic and Anders were already engaged, but not married. Interesting enough, Anders refused flirt attempts when he moved into the Greek House:

He was upset when Nikolai tried kissing his arm, and Nikolai kissing thin air instead is hilarious! Well, I guess Sims are just different when it comes to flirt attempts ... despite how ACR is set up.

Nevertheless, when Anders finally finished Uni and moved back in with his parents, Basic dropped everything and went outside to greet his partner passionately and lovingly:



And they hugged. And kissed. And flirted. And kissed some more ... it was cute.

 And since Anders as a family Sim wants to celebrate the Golden Wedding, I let them marry right away. (Basic is a fortune Sim, btw.)



During the ceremony, a stray random Sim came by and joined the festivities. There is no greater way to photobomb the wedding picture by hopping into the front of all friends with a tacky pink suit!! (Not to mention the haircut. And the face. Note to self: Grab random townies more often and give them a makeover.)

Ingolf joined the ceremony a little late, but as an elder gets excused. I love his Indian style formal suit!

I am not sure though why Marja did not care at all about her firstborn´s wedding and decided to eat some hotdogs with Flynn, who did not care either. Arkadij had to work and could not join.

I have grown fonder and fonder of the twins, and was slightly regretting making Anders the heir, but, what the heck. They will get a little update on their own.

Just some random shots of the guests.

Eldred is too damn cute when he is flirting, because he has only one or two outgoing points. He always gets embarrassed completely, but could not stop flirting with his partner Aeon.

Flux on the right. I have to sneak in one of my favorite shots of Flux that is totally unrelated to the party:

Elaine and Ziggy who just married and are expecting offspring soon.

Basic had to leave for work. The party was a great success.

Aeon and Flynn:

Yeah, and then it was baby-making time :-) Stay tuned to find out when generation 3 of the Gustavsson Legacy will be born!

Gustavsson Legacy II

If there had been any doubt whether Ingolf Peterson was the right man, I was fully convinced after seeing his PJ.

It is amazing how well his pyjamas fit Marja´s favorite color scheme!

Marja learned to life with his criminal tendencies.

Since time is really an issue in a Legacy, she became pregnant quickly. She never had much time to gain many body points, so the pregnancy was really tough. She basically spent it in the Bermuda Triangle of bed, fridge and toilet, either throwing up or needing to pee. This was the worst pregnancy I ever had in game.



Warning: Gore below.

Short before birth, Marja and Ingolf had a quiet marriage. There was neither time nor energy for a fancier party.

And then Anders Gustavsson was born.

Ingolf is a very loving father. Ah, cute men and babies :-)

Then Marja got pregnant again. With twins!! The first twins in my game. I was delighted.

The twin boys were born. And all hell broke loose.

I don´t know exactly when it happened, but Marja got ill. Really ill. Just a day before, I had put a mod in the game which caused the illnesses to be more severe. Looking back, it was not a good idea.

She coughed ... and coughed ... and coughed. She did not get better for days. Ah, and Ingolf was ill, too. There they were, one toddler and two babies, and both parents ill. Marja was so sick she thought of death.

And I was really worried my Legacy would come to a sudden end. Panic!!

For some reason, I either forgot to take screenshots, or the internal screenshot program was acting up. So I do not have many pictures.

Just one of the twins getting really scared by an evil toy:

I used one moment when Ingolf was not close to fainting to rush him to Robertson´s Robot Manufacture to get another Servo. She is responsible for the survival of my Legacy. Both parents were tied to the bed, Ingolf improved rather quickly, but most of the twins childhood Marja was really ill. Sad!

Anders is an interesting little guy. Playing chess and fishing with his father at the local Fish & Swim Community Park. Marja is still in bed coughing.

Anders with his younger brother, Flynn.

Flynn, Arkadij, Anders

Finally, Marja and Ingolf make it to the top of their careers.

During the party of Anders growing up into a teenager. Subtitle: Things with wings :-)

Doing the Smustle.

Last shot of Anders before he goes to college. Totally love the outfit!

The twins wave Anders goodbye, and the family enjoys some winter fun.

Marja and Ingolf are still madly in love with each other, while the twins serioulsy lack table manners.

Then Marja´s big day comes. Sniff! She is the first Sim I ever let age. An interesting experience. Of course, they throw a big party. It is also the day the twins grow up. A triple birthday.

Smustling in the shower is always the best! To the left is Loic Inward, son of Ontario and Alice Reeves. Watch out for him, he becomes a real cutie!

Marja ages up quite beautifully.

Again no pictures of the teenage twins. Don´t ask me why. You will meet them again in college.

Next: Anders Gustavsson goes to college!
