Second generation!

I've reached the second generation in just a few days! At this rate the McKenzie legacy will be finished within the month. If only I didn't have things like work and writing and friends and family and a relationship, I could probably finish it sooner. My life would be awful boring though.

Anyway. Meet Mike and Alice's son, Beckett McKenzie.

He is a boy baby.

The way I'm naming Sims in this legacy is a little different to my other legacies, where I would just yell to Tim 'pick a letter!' and then name the generation names beginning with this letter. This time I'm naming the babies according to the next sequential letter in the alphabet after the letter that the name of their opposite sex parent begins with. For instance, if Beckett had been a girl, I would have picked a name starting with N. If Beckett has a daughter, her name will begin with C. I think it makes sense. It'll also make it easier, once there's lots of generations, to remember with order they were in. 

I named him after a character in one of my books, who is a murderer, because I'm nice like that

I think Beckett will probably be an only child, because I don't think Alice can have another baby before she becomes an elder. That's okay. Having a lot of kids just makes legacies messy, and you have to move them out because the house gets too full and I get so attached to them all that it's hard to choose who leaves.

All Mike and Alice's wishes are about getting married now, probably because soon they will be publicly disgraced for having a child out of wedlock. I can't believe that's a thing in Sims. I mean, they're in a relationship. They're engaged. Who looks down on someone for having a child in those circumstances? It's not the 1920s. Still, I want them to get married too, and have bachelor/bachelorette parties, so I'll get onto that soon. Right now I have A LOT of housework to do, and I want to get at least some of it done before Tim gets home from uni. I wish I had a Bonehilda.
