More aging

The McKenzie/Driver household recovered from their heartbreak and tragedy in time to throw a party for Felix's birthday.

Is it just me or does Fletcher look kind of like that pretty mugshot guy?
He is now a child. A child without a big nose!

FINALLY
He will be a ladykiller. Figuratively, of course.

Daisy also aged up, but I might have sort of forgotten to throw a party for her.

Sorry, kid.
I compensated by giving her a wicked formal outfit. This one is my favourite so far.

Coolest ever.
She's also still close with Emilie. In fact, Emilie is teaching her to drive.

In Clementine and Cale's car, which is kind of weird.
But it's okay, because Clementine and Cale seem to have repaired their marriage (or maybe she just doesn't care) and they're back to being all loving and romantic. That's nice.

"I honestly couldn't give a shit about you. Or anyone."

Life goes on

More tragedy ensues.



Farewell, Eveline. At least you're with Beckett now.

Sniff.
Can I just say, Clementine's emotional reactions seem a little...I don't know. Check this out.

Not too worried

Not even looking

Clapping?

Laughing?

That's not a sad face
Perhaps she's had secret Botox or something and she can't make sad faces anymore. Or perhaps she has no emotions, which would explain why she's still not concerned about Cale sleeping with her brother's fiance. They've just gone on like nothing's happened. Cale even still has his Eternally Faithful buff, which is strange.

Fletcher has not been coping quite so well; as in he's reacted like a normal person would. He's had a midlife crisis and shaved his head.

Not bad.
He's now focusing most of his time on working out in an effort to become massively built and attract a new lady before he becomes an elder. Because he's an Adult now. So is Cale. No parties were thrown, due to the general low mood of the household.

Woo. Birthday.

Yahoo.
No party was thrown for Daisy becoming a child either. She rolled the Supernatural Fan trait and desperately wants to become a witch.

She also looks EXACTLY like me as a child. Large nose, black hair and glasses. And a fringe.
Daisy still had an okay birthday. Clementine handed her down the camera from Mike and Beckett, and she got an elixir from Cale. She's also inherited the toy oven, rocking horse and doll house. She's doing okay.

First day of school. Rocking those boots.
But she still misses Emilie a lot. After her first day of school, she went around to her house.

Still best friends

Playing paper scissors rock

Doing homework
Emilie's new house is a far cry from her old life, but she has a dog so at least she's not lonely. She seemed happy enough. I'm sure Daisy will go back for visits quite a lot.

Fletcher has been a bit lonely, but Beckett is still there for him in spirit.

Ghost dad!

What's it like in the underworld? Constant parties, son.

Fletcher has also started a blog about being a single dad. We'll see how that goes.

Perhaps it will bring in more money than gardening
Daisy and Felix are best friends now, thanks to a few games of peek a boo. I love that interaction. Felix will age up soon, so they can hang out together and have slumber parties. Speaking of slumber parties, Daisy is throwing her first one tonight. She has two classmates, Marisa and Jarrod. The boy looks like a girl and the girl looks like a boy.

The one with long hair is the dude.





My home, it is broken.

Before I begin, I would just like to clarify that I had NOTHING to do with the events that unfolded tonight. My Sims have high free will and I have a lot of Nraas mods and sometimes things go a bit screwy. Sometimes I even don't save, and just pretend things never happened if they are particularly bad. But life doesn't work that way, and I am playing a legacy, so I'm just going to have to deal with it.

Emilie and Fletcher have just had their first child and are planning their wedding, and I THOUGHT things were going really well with them. Yes, it's a little weird seeing as Emilie slept with Mike ages ago, and there must be a considerable age difference, but love conquers all, right? At least they look the same age.

Aging gracefully at 212 years old
And Emilie used to be a vampire and everything, and she was kind of cold when she and Fletcher were dating, but I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Until this happened.

Um...guys?
 Yeah, Emilie and Cale made out. Right in front of Clementine. I was like, what? They're not even Romantic Interests!! And really? Right in front of his WIFE?? That's some bold cheating.

Clementine closed her eyes and thought of tanks. Smart girl/
 It didn't end there. While Clementine and I were still reeling from the shock, Cale and Emilie went off to the bathroom to Woohoo. It all happened so fast I didn't even manage to get a screenshot (snigger) but I got some of the aftermath. Which was Fletcher coming in and realising what was going on. He was NOT happy.

It was like a soap opera

Such tension.
As you can see from Cale's face above, he had no remorse. Neither did Emilie. It must have been a mod gone screwy, because they're still not Romantic Interests. Emilie got the Adultery moodlet (which I had never seen before, so that was exciting) and Cale got the Miscalculation moodlet (which I had seen before, it says 'maybe you shouldn't have slept with your best friend'. Yeah, maybe not when you have a WIFE, you slut.)

Clementine dealt with it surprisingly well. She wasn't even mad.

Perhaps she doesn't love Cale as much as it seems? Or maybe she's in shock.
Fletcher was VERY mad. He and Emilie fought for quite a while in the bathroom.

Her heart is being broken? Well maybe she shouldn't have slept with her brother in law
They eventually broke up in the kitchen. Again, not my doing. He was just that pissed off.

Her action was 'Be Rejected'. Harsh. 


He isn't going to slap her. It's a Mean High Five.
Eveline was angry enough with Cale for both her and Clementine.

Now that is a slap
Safe to say they're not best friends anymore.

Oh my, starry eyed surprise.
She really gave him what for.

Yeah I'll make you cry like that cloud in your mind, bitch.
Emilie went to work afterwards, and Fletcher went to the Fouchier's to hang out with Isla. Clementine went to a party, but spent most of the time staring into space.

Those feels. It's like a Lana Del Rey song.
When he got home, Fletcher just stood here for ages, not doing anything. No actions. It was sad.

All he would do is stare at the mail box.
When Emilie got home, she went straight to Eveline's alchemy room and found the Vampire's Bite potion.

She will live another 200 years.
Then she went and gave Daisy one last cuddle. Since they are Best Friends.

It was cute. It's just sad now.
She gave her son a hug too.

:(
As a last ditch attempt to save the situation, she tried a Hypnotic Gaze on Fletcher.

That's one way to get your fiance back...?
It didn't work. 

Regretting that shower bang now?

She put Daisy to bed for the last time, packed her bags and left.


Ignore the half naked lady by the door. Just a journalist.
This is a sad moment.
Now Emilie has left, and Fletcher is a single dad. Not sure what will happen to Clementine and Cale yet. They haven't really spoken, but they don't hate each other either. I think Clementine is trying to work out how she feels about it. Eveline hates Cale's guts though, so I don't see them living together too much longer.

This isn't really how I wanted my third gen to go. I normally play happy families. I am not a fan of broken homes and conflict. I guess ten gens of happiness would have been too boring though.

Hello Felix McKenzie

As one leaves, another arrives. Say hello to Fletcher and Emilie's new son, Felix.

Felix my tit again I'm giving him back to his mother
He is already a toddler.

The nose! It is small! Praise be to the Watcher
Apparently nothing else of note happened in those three days. I should probably pay more attention to the game instead of turning around in my seat to see whats on the telly.

Goodbye, Beckett McKenzie

Alas, the sole heir of the great Mike McKenzie has passed away.

He died peacefully in front of the TV, with all his loved ones around.
Beckett was the first McKenzie to be born in game and have his life documented from birth til death, which is nice. In fact, I have a screenshot of the moment his mother discovered she was pregnant with him.

Just in time, she was four days off becoming an elder

Beckett as a baby, with Mike
Reading with Dad
Doing homework with Dad
Doing high school homework with Dad
He slept in the same bedroom all his life, though it looks a little different now than it did when he was a baby.


I was going to write a little story about him with pictures, but that would take forever, so instead here are some of the highlights of his life.

First Snowflake Day!

Meeting his future wife (she was already planning her ring)

Becoming a Panic at the Disco fan

The time he went to prom with a guy and I thought he was gay

But then Eveline came back

And he decided he was straight (or perhaps bi)

Proposing to Eveline (I hope it was an emerald ring)
Getting ready to be a dad

Clementine being born

Getting married
Reading with the kids
Living with a werewolf

Taking the family to France 
Being ridiculously handsome at his niece's birthday party

Wedding anniversary

Eveline is going to miss him A LOT. I kind of hope she goes soon too, so they won't be apart for too long. I honestly thought he had a few more days left. I didn't check how old he was, but I'm pretty sure he couldn't have been more than 92 or 93. I've had Sims live more than ten days longer.

Still. He had a lovely life. He married his childhood sweetheart, went travelling, had two kids, became a 5 Star Chef, and was a fantastic gardener. Everyone in his family considered him a Best Friend, and he had about a billion more friends who loved him too. Mike would have been proud of him. I hope they're in Sim Heaven together (hey, that's an idea, I could make Sim Heaven. I could totally do that.)

He will be missed in Moonlight Falls. RIP Beckett.
