Uglacy Week 3



So Last Week: The twins grew up, and the family got dogs. Percy was born, and so were some puppies.

Well, what with Abigail's new Silver Gardening Badge, and a growing garden underway, it was time to call the Garden Club.

Unfortunately, Armando was a little biased so there was no Wishing Well, but at least Abigail now gets a discount on seeds and whatnot.

Later that night, it was time for Percy to age up. He seems to have gotten an interesting combination of his parent's genetics.

Well, for the sake of space, we had to sell off 2 of the puppies.

Ingo took it pretty hard. This picture made me sad. D=

Abigail was immediately swarmed by a horde of angry dogs.
Ye Gods!

Once Andrew got home from work it was time for celebration!
So anyway, he's officially the first in the Legacy to reach their LTW.

Not that I really need to worry about fulfilling his wants anymore, but Andrew wanted to get the kids into Private School. Why not?

This is really all you need to see. I found that the Cool Shades are really helpful with the schmoozing!
I'm starting to really love these things.

How they got in, I'm not sure. A
lot of homework seemed to be piling up. Poor Ingo almost passed out from exhaustion, since Dolores was too busy fishing.

Time for the two remaining puppies, Lucy and Loki, to grow up!
They both got a weird-ish mix of dad's spots and mom's big brown patch.

Aww, goodbye Loki. Lucy had a higher relationship with Abigail, so I think that warrants her staying.

By sheer coincidence, the 3 kids grew up all at the same time. Percy went first. He turned out, unfortunately enough, to be a fairly cute kid. He kept his little emo hair and inherited Ingo's outfit.

The twins didn't dress up in the greatest of clothes, but you can't have everything.
I'm not a believer in rolling for aspirations; I prefer to follow the clues given by the wants they have.
Dolores had a lot of buy wants, so I chose Fortune.
Ingo, wanted lots of friends, especially with pets, so it's Popularity for him.

Ingo's first motion as slightly older twin; he was born first; is to give his sister a noogie.

Again, Makeover time. Maxis for Dolores, nice custom for Ingo. The Hollister shirt from my simself is my best custom content I've made. Hmm that reminds me to work my simself in here somehow...

Now that these two are teen, I think I can get a better measure on their facial features...
Ingo's nose is awful, but I think otherwise he looks O.K.

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4b4daa2.jpg

Dolores however...
No, I don't really think that she's ugly per se but I think she has characteristics that won't play nicely with other faces ;) The tiny nose, high eyes and cheekbones, and thin lips in particular. New hair for both by the way.

Ok, I've found that unnecessary gardening shots get really boring sometimes, so I put all the harvest pictures together, because I was really impressed with the quality and quantity of the garden, all mouthwatering.

I use the hacked fruit bowl, and I found that with only two harvests, Ingo and Abigail amassed over 10k worth of fruit and vegetables. I find that really impressive =D

Speaking of gardening, not it was Ingo's turn to call up the garden club.
Well, with some new decorations and Abigail's wonderful Gold Badge, it was a piece of cake.
In case you can't read it, they got 1,002 simoleans as well as the wishing well. Hurrah!

To "ensure her family's safety" Dolores decided to test out the new well, much to her Aspirational Delight.

We got one of the adoption pets, Otis, for breeding with Lucy. This'll be an interesting mix.

Along with gardening pics, I find that the badge pics can get sort of boring after a while. This was a good week for badges, all around. There were more that I missed as well.

I think that wraps it up for this week, this time I'll actually put in review pics.

The house at night, all lovely and gardened.

And, the happy family. Ooh, next week, look forward to Abigail aging up. Wootage!
