Noelle: so scary, even stone busts can't help screaming
 
Nehru Legacy 5.1
---------------------------
Introducing......
mlegacy1.jpg


I haven't been able to find this used as a name outside of video games. :P


mlegacy2.jpg

..um. 'What up, dog?'

mlegacy3.jpg

My first pan-handling Sim. As a Fortune Sim, Marie wants me to keep buying stuff, and I don't like frequently going into Buy mode.

mlegacy4.jpg

I give her a car or two to cheer her up, though.

mlegacy5.jpg

G'bye, Debbie.

mlegacy6.jpg

Erin is House Mom regardless of whose babies she's looking after.

mlegacy7.jpg

I see the Nehrus as do-gooders, so....blowing the whistle it is.

mlegacy8.jpg

Oh.

mlegacy9.jpg

Yeah! Promote her! That'll show her!


mlegacy10.jpg

Kaiser and Tatiana spent all night merged together like this.

mlegacy11.jpg

I'll let him stick with this until he's about to elder up.

mlegacy12.jpg

Alexandros and Gaius Octavius come to dinner!

mlegacy13.jpg

Vaermina grows up!

mlegacy14.jpg

These two...aren't getting along terribly well.

mlegacy15.jpg

Tiberius, keen on becoming The Law, is now working in a legal office.

mlegacy16.jpg

ABC order seems more sensible, but I'll try out color.

mlegacy17.jpg

All-righty then.

mlegacy18.jpg

These guys are both...animated hall-of-famers.

mlegacy19.jpg

This was actually the first time I paid attention to Gus in DAYS.

mlegacy20.jpg

Our Vault of Honor is now three generations rich.

More to come..!

The master bedroom now has an additional perk, though that thin black divider on the floor keeps the noise out. ;)

mlegacy22.jpg

Gumbo!

mlegacy23.jpg

Oh. Well, don't worry. Noelle was fired twice before she made a career out of cooking.

mlegacy24.jpg

Thunderstorms can be a bit annoying..

mlegacy25.jpg

"Oh, god...responsibilities."

mlegacy26.jpg

Edele is off to college!

mlegacy27.jpg

...and is a total nerd. As soon as the semester starts, she wanted to write her term paper. She got through really quickly, though Romulus also graduated in the meantime.

mlegacy28.jpg

Literature major, like everyone in this family since Tatiana..

mlegacy30.jpg

Erin and Marie's fighting is now catching the attention of everyone nearby.

mlegacy31.jpg

OK, you two -- time out. I'm locking you in here until you resolve your differences like adults.

mlegacy32.jpg

Exactly.

mlegacy33.jpg

Erin is determined that her progeny should prevail over Marie's.

mlegacy34.jpg

Fortunately the kids aren't as divided.

mlegacy35.jpg

...sigh. I tell Sims to water plants every two days, they die. I hire a gardener, they die. I buy WATER SPRINKLERS, and they die.

In 6 years, I've never managed to keep a garden living.

mlegacy36.jpg

Oh, hey, we have a baby. (SURPRISE!)

...and his name is Napoleon.

mlegacy29.jpg

Now that the pregnancy is over with, I decide to get Marie another job -- building off of her interests.

mlegacy37.jpg

She takes to it like a duck to water.

mlegacy38.jpg

Erm, timeshare?

mlegacy39.jpg

..grand. (Should I feel good about successful cards in this career? :lol: )

mlegacy40.jpg

Vaermina...is now a teen! Popularity/Knowledge.


mlegacy401asterisk.jpg

..and Tiberius is off to college.
 
Vaermina only appears in video games because she's the Daedroth Princess of Dreams & Nightmares in The Elder Scrolls series. :D
 
Nehru Challenge 5.2
-----------------------------------------
edie1.jpg

Tiberius is off to college, though since I don't know who the heir will be I don't invest a lot of time in him. He makes a few contacts, of course.

edie2.jpg

His roommate is Alexandros, whom some of you may remember...

edie3.jpg

Who's the brunette in his bed? ... Marie. Yeah. His dad's wife, though not his mom, since Tiberius' mother was...Erin, I think. When I use the magic ball to look at the top five sims he was attracted to, she was #2 or #3. But that's OK.

Also, he's being burgled.

edie4.jpg

:lol:

edie5.jpg

...and they're out!

edie6.jpg

Back at Nehru manor, Napoleon becomes a toddler.

edie7.jpg

He's very much doted on, here by Romulus.

edie10.jpg

...and here by Gaius Octavius.

edie8.jpg

Augustus has taken a page from his father's book and tends to take to bed the women he brings home from work. :rolleyes: This is with the autonomous romance mod.

edie9.jpg

You know, it occurs to me...what if Marie "kept Tiberius' attention", so to speak, while her coworker did the job?

edie11.jpg

The only experience I have with this is playing GTA games, and I always botch up the part of the mission in San Andreas where CJ is on crowd control. The vault it is!


edie12.jpg

Of course, the Nehrus have over a million simoleons now, so it doesn't really matter, but it's always nice to get a big bonus.

edie13.jpg

Napoleon is growing up, and Gaius Octavius -- who isn't keen on leaving -- is apparantly angry at Augustus for something. (Possibly for stealing his name.)

edie14.jpg

The little corporal takes to music-making straightaway.

edie15.jpg

Mildly creepy. For some reason, he keeps following Vaermina home from school, and he tends to invite himself to spend the night..

edie16.jpg

Started off as a Assistant Coach, rose to Hall of Famer in a few days.


edie17.jpg

"Rock it out" is ALWAYS my answer to this hobby chance card -- ALWAYS.

edie18.jpg

Even if it's not the right answer, better to rock hard and be wrong than to not rock at all.

edie19.jpg

These two are still getting along swimmingly, as you can see...following each other into the bathroom and then getting into shoving matches.

And in honor of Napoleon, Erin creates a painting for Napoleon.

edie21.jpg



More to come!
 
Nehru Challenge -- 5.2, Continued

edie22.jpg


That painting for Napoleon proved to be the last thing Erin did, alas...
..I'd grown rather fond of her.

edie23.jpg

Here she'll lie, nestled between Gustavus and Augustus.

edie24.jpg

Marie has body odor, as she'll be quick to tell you..


edie25.jpg

:-/ How did you get past the Styx?

edie26.jpg

How did BOTH of you get past the Styx?
...well, it is frozen over.

edie27.jpg

Because he and Vaermina had 4+ snow days, little Napoleon had a lot of time to skill. I think he's the first Nehru to skill out while still a child.

edie28.jpg

Edele's first masterpiece...what could it mean? ;)

edie29.jpg

Vaermina hasn't been in the camera much this update, but she wants to be a Mad Scientist.

edie30.jpg

Augustus and Marie don't believe in slowing down, even if they ARE about to become elders.

edie31.jpg

It's called gravity, Augustus. Happens to ALL women as they get older..

edie32.jpg

Napoleon is now a full-fledged teenager, one interested in politics. :) Popularity/Family.


edie33.jpg

Meanwhile, Edele gives birth.. (did I forget to tell you she was pregnant? :P)

edie34.jpg

...to a green-eyed red-haired wunderkind! Jackpot! Interesting genes for a change.

edie35.jpg

Parting shot of Edele and Horatio, just because. :)



Seeing as Vaermina is old enough for college, and Napoleon is about to start his teen years, I think it's time we decide who the Generation 6 heir shall be! Your choices:

1. Edele, Augustus' oldest, and who has so thoughtfully already provided a potential Gen. 7 heir...

2. Tiberius, the second-born..

3. Vaermina, Augustus' first legitimate child...

or 4. Napoleon, the promising youth?
 
Napoleon!
 
Napoleon - legitimate sons only! :D (Vaermina would be a great standby though.)
 
Nothing but a Bonaparte! It must be Napoleon.
 
Edele! Any royal family line must be twisted enough that future generations can't figure it out without diagrams!

Interesting story. I used to play The Sims, but haven't played The Sims 2. I never got a family that rich though - for me it got a bit boring when they could easily afford everything, and thus the 1-million simoleon house I built never has been inhabited.

Any plans for activating the Giant Death Robot?
