Chapter 2.3 Save Me

Welcome back to the Avani Legacy! Last time the boy twins became toddlers AND kids, the girl twins became teenagers and the young adults became full fledged adults! Also, a fifth baby was born - a little girl named Aster!

I named this chapter Save Me because it rhymes with 3 and also because I have been considering murdering sims lately. I don't do well with a full house as you will see mentioned a few times in this chapter. Forgive me.

Aster is a really laid back baby. She requires very little time. I suppose any baby would be easy after 2 sets of twins though, right?

 Thanks to Aster's relaxed ways Abra is finally getting some time to herself. She's no artist but painting helps keep her happy.

She also spends lots of time cooking family meals and freezing them for later. So, she's building her cooking skills for when she goes back to work AND she's feeding the family. Pancakes are always better than dried out birthday cake!

Family homework time! Wait, where are Aspen and Apple?

Aspen: "I have to do my homework by myself because when I'm with people I just want to socialize and then I don't get my homework done and if I don't get my homework done the sink monsters will come out of the sink and eat me!"

Oh, and Apple is passed out at the park. So... that's good.

Ash: "Thanks for working hard to bring home some money Dad. It makes me want to hug you and I don't hug ANYONE!"

Oh hey... you must be Aster. Sorry I kind of forgot about you.

Aster: "It okay. I is used to it"

She's the only one of the kids to get Abra's dark green eyes!Also, I totally suck at running an 8 Sim household. Totally.

Yay! Sam grew up to a Young Adult! Now he can move out!!!!

Sorry Sam, you seem like a good guy, I'm just no good at taking care of lots of Sims.

Sam: "No worries. I'm excited about moving out, being homeless and making my own decisions!  Maybe you'll see me in the paper sometime!"


I hope so Sam, I do hope so! Goodbye Leighton clone.

Apple is a very busy girl between working out, fishing and rock collecting. She certainly is ambitious and hard to keep up with!

Apple: "I'm on top of the world!"

Apricot is much more mellow which I appreciate even though it means she doesn't get as many pictures. She looks completely mellowed in this shot.

Apricot: "The therapist was right, painting helps calm me."

Meanwhile, Aspen gets busy making friends at school which excites me because there weren't any other kids at the school when Apple and Apricot were kids!

Ash is not as social as his twin brother.

Ash: "Aspen claims to be neurotic but I think it's a lie to cover up some sort of conspiracy... I haven't figured it out yet but I will!"

Abra and Apple enjoy fishing together when they have time. Being outdoors, bonding and skilling pleases them both greatly

Meanwhile, Apricot is busy stealing food from her friend's fridge and generally acting inappropriate.

Her friends Frank and Steve are astounded by her tale of flies taking over the world. It's okay though, they'll regret saying anything against her when her fly story becomes a best selling Science Fiction novel.

Our buddy Aspen loves spending time with his little friend Susan.

Aspen: "You're going to break my heart, aren't you?"

Susan: "You better believe it."

Aster: "Don't I get any pictures? I is cute toddler!"

Yeah, but we've already had 6 cute toddlers come before you. You haven't done anything new.

Aster: "I is cute now?"

Yeah, well you're the first to climb in the toy box because we didn't have one before. So, you can have another picture.

Abra: "I now we don't get much time together anymore because we're both so busy but I wanted to tell you I love you."

Apricot: "Photo Bomb! Ha ha ha! I guess I was wrong, their romance isn't going down the toilet!"

Abra and Leighton: "mmmmum slurp"

Gross.

Apricot: "Homework sucks. Can I go paint now?"

Nope, it's your brothers' turn to use the easels. The family had to buy a second easel because Apricot is usually glued to one of them at all times. I wish sims were social when they painted together.

 Aspen: "Why are you basically ignoring me and my brother?"

I'm sorry but you guys bore me and I have already decided neither of you will be heir so I'm basically waiting for you to grow up and move out.

Aspen: "All righty then"

Off to work again Abra?

Abra: "Yep. It's my 5th day of work. Ever."

Apricot may seem standoffish and cold but she's a good sim at heart. She's a better babysitter than Sam was anyway.

Apricot: "I am AWESOME! And don't you forget it!"

I know it's a horrible picture but here's the house right now. It's cramped and small and poorly built because this family is still super poor. I'm saving up to do a big rebuild when Gen. 2 takes over. But, right now it is time for a birthday!

Aspen: "Hey, did you see those cakes over there? I think they're for us!"

Ash: "Are you sure those things are safe? I mean, they just appeared out of nowhere! I don't like eating anything unless I know where it came from"

Aspen: "Of course they're safe bro! Let me show you!"

Aspen: "Gosh... I hope it really is safe..."

Ash is laughing at him. Nice.

Abra: "OMG Yay! My son is growing up and my daughter is trying to reach a fetal state again by fusing with my body! YAY!"

Aspen: "See, I told ya it's safe brother! Try it, I think you'll like it!" 

Aspen rolled childish making him neurotic, friendly, excited and childish. Wow.

Ash: "I wish for safety and knowledge and to retain my cute appearance"

Ha ha ha...wish NOT granted. Before he was a cute little creep. Now he's a scrawny, weird looking creep who is musically talented. Ash added Virtuoso to Neurotic, Clumsy and Inappropriate.

Here are the boys together. It's funny how different they are. Aspen is basically a male version of his mom. I don't know where Ash got his looks.

Aspen: "He got them at the funny farm! Ha ha ha ha ha...."

Oh hey, Aster? You grew up too, huh? You're cute. Still, you're not the heir.

Aster: "Yeah, because obviously I'm too good for your stupid legacy."

She rolled the snob trait which makes her a neurotic snob who is brave. I love her eyes but I think she's going to end up looking a lot like her mom and I really want genetic variety!

I'm going to end this chapter here because I'm actually boring myself. I don't know what I was thinking having 5 babies and one step kid in the first generation. Ah well, I see the end in site and I'm so excited for the new generation which will be coming soon!
