The Legacy Challenge

This is the story of my sims and their many generations.

Here's Mark, he is a major jock. (atleast he looks like it in this picture)  Posted by Picasa


Bailey sent this pic that Mark took while she was eating. She says that everything is fine. She lives in the dorm with her brother Mark, her boyfriend Tevion, and his twin sister Regina. She hopes to save up some money, so that they can get a place a off campus. But we will see.  Posted by Picasa


Well I'm out of here. See ya in the neighborhood.  Posted by Picasa


Here's my dad with us, he can't wait til I come back home. My mom however is not looking forward to the extra laundry. ;) Posted by Picasa


Can you tell my mom is so proud of me? Either that or she wants to dirty dance with me. Posted by Picasa


That's right mom, I'm gonna be the next Chief of Staff. Even though that's not a want anymore. I rolled the dye and Amelia is now a family sim. Her Lifetime want is to marry off six children. Posted by Picasa


Here I am in my cap and gown. Graduating makes you hungry. Posted by Picasa

Monday, August 29, 2005


I graduate tomorrow. I can't sleep. Posted by Picasa


So anyway, I passed my finals. Yeah, I graduated with honors, Summa Cum Laude. WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!! Posted by Picasa


Here's one my dad took. He really adores her. Posted by Picasa


They are a cute couple though. Posted by Picasa


EEWWW! They didn't have to send me this. Posted by Picasa


Here's my mom, she didn't take aging well. Posted by Picasa


My dad sent me a couple of pictures of him and my mom. doesn't he look destinguished? Posted by Picasa


Of course my body guard will be going too. Posted by Picasa


I have the last of my finals in two hours. Wish me luck. Posted by Picasa


I'm getting so excited about graduation, I am singing in the shower! Posted by Picasa


All my friends have been watching over me to make sure he doesn't come back. I didn't tell my parents about the incident, because I didn't want to worry them. Posted by Picasa


A couple weeks later and I was only six days away from graduating. I wrote my mom and dad a quick note to remind them when to be here for the ceremony. I haven't seen Phillip since that night the police took him away. Although he has tried to call me. Posted by Picasa


When Shannon saw me, he wanted me to go see a doctor. I insisted I was fine though. Posted by Picasa


Well here I am the next day. My face is pretty swollen. Posted by Picasa


We have often had uncomfortable silence between us, but here lately, it has become even more strained. Small talk is usually about overcrowded schools. Posted by Picasa


I really like Shannon, I wonder what he looks like under that cow costume. I honestly think he secretly roots for our team. Posted by Picasa


That night Shannon tried to help me forget about what happened. He invited a couple o f my friends over and we hung out in the dorm. Posted by Picasa


The police were called and of course Phillip was arrested. I didn't like being called the victim though. But it was a valuable lesson I learned in life, and I will carry on to my future children. Posted by Picasa


Before I knew it, I was throwing punches as well. My mother raised me to not take nothing from noone. So I sure wasn't gonna take anything from Phillip without giving it back 100%. :) Posted by Picasa


I couldn't believe I was in this situation. Posted by Picasa


He then lunged at me. Posted by Picasa


I could not move fast enough, I hit him back.  Posted by Picasa


And then it happened. He struck me. Posted by Picasa


He began to clench his fists, and when I saw him do this, I clenched mine in anticipation. Posted by Picasa


He had this rage in his eyes. I knew I was in danger. Posted by Picasa


I then went to confront Phillip about all his lies. I was expecting him to deny it, but he didn't, then he called me a whore. Posted by Picasa


I went upstairs and talked to Shannon before I went to do my hair. He told me that he had heard rumors, that Phillip was dating some drama student and that he had proposed marriage to her. Posted by Picasa


I continued to eat at first, not taking him seriously. Well that infuriated him. He stared at me for the longest time. And then I mentioned the blond girl that had approached me the day before. I never seen him look so angry. He just walked away. Posted by Picasa


Low and behold, Phillip shows up and makes a scene. I didn't know what to think. He was always jealous, but this was beyond jealousy. He starts flailing his arms and accusing me of screwing everybody at campus. Posted by Picasa


He was a good friend, but he didn't really have any advice for me. He didn't understand men anymore than I did. So we just went to breakfast together. Posted by Picasa


Then I went to another friend, and asked him what did he think I should do.  Posted by Picasa


My friend (his name escapes me) told me to just forget about her. She is acting so highschool. Posted by Picasa


I immediately go online to see if I could locate Phillip. But of course, I can't find him, so I e-mail him. Posted by Picasa


So she just smiles and says, "Do you go out with Phillip?" A little stunned, I respond, "Yes, how do you know Phillip?" And then she smiles yet again, and walks away. Now I don't know what to think. Posted by Picasa


Then my friend told me she was still looking at me. So I turned and said, "Can I help you?" Posted by Picasa


One day, I was hanging out talking to a friend of mine. And this girl came up to me and just stared at me. I didn't quite know how to approach her. Posted by Picasa


I still talk to my mom and dad. They are doing great, they just want grandchildren. Posted by Picasa


I am doing good in school. Soon I will be graduating. I am very nervous about going in the real world. I sometimes wonder if Phillip is the one I will marry. I love him, but I don't really know how he feels about me. I'm afraid to bring it up, and scare him away. Posted by Picasa


I also hang out with Shannon the cow mascot. Even though he is for the opposing team, he is pretty cool to hang out with. Phillip of course doesn't want me hanging out with him. He said it makes me look like a traitor to my school.  Posted by Picasa


I think about him nonstop. He is majoring in philosophy, but don't quite know what he wants to do yet. Posted by Picasa


I know I don't write in this enough to make my mother happy. But I got alot going on right now. Lately I'm exhausted, with studies and my new boyfriend and all. Yes, I said it!! I have a boyfriend!!! His name is Phillip, and he is dreamy. Posted by Picasa


I often wonder what my future holds for me. Will I get married? Will I have children? Posted by Picasa


I have kept up my grades so far. And I do go out occasionally. Posted by Picasa


I've been in college for a year, and I've grown alot. I think I made a great decision going in the medical field. Maybe I'll meet a lawyer and we'll be like the Cosby's. Posted by Picasa


I just talked to her and my dad the other day, and they told me that Bailey and Mark went off to college. It kind of made me sad. I lost touch with my siblings since I been here. My dad said William is doing fine and he just started first grade. He's growing up so fast. I guess he's not a baby anymore. Sniff, Sniff. Posted by Picasa


Of course, I can't change my major, my mother would have a coniption fit. She is so proud. So I'm kind of stuck.  Posted by Picasa


Well let me think, It started with my major. I don't know what I was thinking going Premed. It's too much work. I have no time for a social life. Posted by Picasa


This is a pic of me my first few weeks in school. I hated it. Posted by Picasa

Wednesday, August 24, 2005


So my mother has told you her version of my college years. Let me tell you mine. Posted by Picasa

Tuesday, August 23, 2005


He is a good cook as well. I just love him in this shirt. Posted by Picasa


He's muscular!! :) Posted by Picasa


Wow!! Posted by Picasa


Then one day Mark turned to teenager..... Posted by Picasa


Uh Oh, I need to get Mark and William different hairdos. Posted by Picasa


I know I accidently showed these pics out of order, but here is one of my little William, growing from toddler to child. Thank God He doesn't have to wear the pink pjs. Posted by Picasa


I feel that as long as she has Amelia to go to for advice, she has a good role model. They talk all the time. Posted by Picasa


We had a talk with Bailey, and we think tuff love is working. We let her see Tevion once a week for an hour, supervised. She understands that with good behavior, she will eventually be able to see him more. Posted by Picasa


Here is another picture of Amelia. She is doing great in college. She is a junior now. She's not dating anyone at the moment, but she's thinking of Med school, so she is too busy for guys right now. I guess I can wait for grandchildren. Posted by Picasa


Here is a picture of Tevion. Even though he is trouble, he is awfully cute.  Posted by Picasa


We told her she couldn't see Tevion for a month. She was upset, but that seemed to end the sneaking out. Then about two weeks later, I woke up and found Bailey getting out of Tevion's car. Who knows how long she was doing this behind our back. I have had it with her disobeying us over and over again. Rem and I have discussed boarding school, and while I don't want to send her there, I am at my wit's end with her. I never went through this with Amelia.  Posted by Picasa


We grounded her, and the next night Tevion's car was parked outside our house, like he was waiting for her. We told her that if he loved her, he wouldn't help her get in trouble. Of course, she didn't see it that way. Posted by Picasa


Rem and I sat down with her and told her she needed to take a little break from Tevion. I thought we got through to her. But then two days later, I catch her sneaking out to be with him. Posted by Picasa


She is also showing interest in a young boy from her school. His name is Tevion, and he is a dreamboat. He has a twin sister, that is also good friends with Bailey. She has been going steady with Tevion for awhile now, but I have yet to meet his parents. Bailey has also become a little rebellious. So I don't know if she is hiding something or she has just not found the time. Posted by Picasa


Bailey is beginning to show great talent. She is our little artist. Posted by Picasa


She said that she is majoring in physics. Her dream is to become Chief of Staff at Sim Valley Hospital. Posted by Picasa


Here are a couple pictures of Amelia in college. She just e-mailed them to me. She told me she is thinking of growing out her hair. I think she is beautiful, no matter what. Posted by Picasa


Or we could go on our second honeymoon. I even suggested some redecorating. Posted by Picasa


Remington got a promotion. So maybe we can start planning our vacation. It will be our first. Posted by Picasa


Bailey wasn't the only one to try a new look. Check Tatyana's new hairdo out. Posted by Picasa


I think she likes this look. Posted by Picasa


After the party, Bailey needed to soak. She was trying to figure out what her new look would be. Posted by Picasa


Oh how my babies are growing so fast. Posted by Picasa


Here is Bailey. She just turned into a teenager. She looks a little obnoxious. But she is cute. Posted by Picasa


Here is Bailey and Mark pillowfighting. It's one of the only pictures I have where they're not really fighting. Posted by Picasa


No here is the right pic. sorry. Posted by Picasa


Here we are smooching yet again> Posted by Picasa


Here is a picture of William in pink pajamas that Remington's mother got him. I swear she does that just to irritate me.  Posted by Picasa


Remington gave me the wrong picture to put in my blog, so I was talking about Mark, and here is his picture, and the other picture is of baby William. Posted by Picasa


Well Amelia is in college now, she's doing great and she's came home on occasion to do her laundry. She is blown away by how big her siblings have gotten. Mark is a seven year old genius. He has asked could he go to college with Amelia. Of course we explained to him he needs more life experiences first.  Posted by Picasa

Monday, August 22, 2005


Amelia took this of Rem. I just slammed him with the pillow, and he was plotting his revenge. Posted by Picasa


Hurry up!! Our five minutes are almost up. Posted by Picasa


Our friends often ask how we manage with four children so young. Well we are children at heart. Posted by Picasa


Here's Bailey giving her little brother Mark a kiss goodnight. Posted by Picasa


Of course Remington and I still have our hands full with Bailey and the boys. We can't get five minutes alone. Posted by Picasa


Amelia was trying to stay composed, but it was hard to do with her father watching her every move. She couldn't even imagine what was in store for her at college, but she knew she was gonna miss her family and that made her want to stay home. Posted by Picasa


First she needed to go shopping for a new wardrobe. Posted by Picasa


The day has come for Amelia to leave for college. Remington has decided to take her up to campus, because he knows I will bawl like a baby. Posted by Picasa

Thursday, August 18, 2005


Isn't she beautiful? Her dad is a little crazy with the camera. I'm gonna kill him if he posts this on our blog. Posted by Picasa


Amelia is very close with Mark. I think she realizes she will be leaving for college soon, and will be missing us. Posted by Picasa


This is Rem with little Mark, he just turned two. We had a small party, with just a few friends.  Posted by Picasa


This is a picture I took of Rem holding our new little boy, William. I was kept on bed rest for a couple of days. Remington took care of the baby, while the girls looked after Mark. I am a very lucky woman. Posted by Picasa

Wednesday, August 10, 2005


Remington caught me off guard and took this picture. I was so mad at him. I just had the baby. Sorry I look so awful. But of course Amelia looks beautiful as usual. Posted by Picasa


Here is a picture of my two girls, Amelia and Bailey. They are getting so big, I don't want them to leave me, but I look forward to them going to college. Posted by Picasa


This is a picture of Amelia with her brand new baby brother. Amelia finally let me cut her hair. I think it makes her look angelic. We decided to name him Mark. I think he is gonna have my great grandfather's red hair. But it might turn darker when he gets older. Posted by Picasa


Bailey is very different from her older sister. She has latched on to me, and wont let go. This recent pregnancy has been really hard on me. I hope it's my last. Posted by Picasa


Remington is a wonderful father, here is a picture of him with our second child, Bailey. She is getting so big. It saddens me to see them grow up so fast. I also realize that Remington and I aren't getting any younger either. Or are we? Posted by Picasa


Here lately, Amelia has started to become emotional. Everyone has noticed a change in her behavior, and hope it's just puberty. And that's exactly what it is. She is starting to notice changes in her body, that she finds very embarrassing. Her mother gave her permission to wear a little make-up, as long as she did not look like a clown. Tatyana has also started to give Amelia a little responsibility, by babysitting Bailey.  Posted by Picasa


And of course Bailey has grown into quite a handful. She is cutting molars, so no one is getting any sleep.  Posted by Picasa


Amelia is very close with her daddy. He works very long hours, so their time together is precious.  Posted by Picasa

Amelia grew into a beautiful little girl. Sorry this pic didn't turn out. Posted by Picasa


Amelia is getting so big. Her mom took her to get a haircut. Posted by Picasa


Here she is, Bailey is gonna live here too unless I run out of room. Posted by Picasa


I know I need to take more pics, but I get all engrossed in the playing part, that I forget to take pics. I will work on that more following the generations to come. But Tatyana and Remington have been busy. They had another little girl, they named her Bailey. And she's pregnant again.  Posted by Picasa


Isn't she beautiful?  Posted by Picasa


Well the blessed event happened. I have decided firstborn will automatically be the heir of the legacy. In this case, our heiress has been born. They named her Amelia, after Reminton's great grandmother. She looks just like her father. Posted by Picasa


This is the house before the wedding, I still have a lot a work to do. Posted by Picasa


Remington was excited about the new job, but he was also very nervous. He would be supervising many people, and he wanted to do a great job. With a new job and a baby on the way, he was under a lot of pressure. He had nightmares almost every night. Posted by Picasa


Sure enough, she was pregnant. The first few months were really hard on Tatyana, but she knew it was all worth it. Remington was wonderful, he even did the laundry, because it was too hard on Tatyana's back. Tatyana had a friend in the restaurant business that owed her one, so she got Remington a job.  Posted by Picasa


They felt magic between each other, and that first night together, they knew they had created a child to carry on the family name. Aren't they a cute couple. Posted by Picasa


After a short courtship, Remington and Tatyana married. It was a small wedding, being that neither really didn't know anyone. Posted by Picasa


Tatyana loved her job, but knew one day, she would have a family, that would come first.  Posted by Picasa


So Tatyana met Remington. They hit it off right away, being family sims. He was a butler, but he wanted to one day own his own restaurant.  Posted by Picasa


I love all these cool downloads you can get off the web. Thanks to all who make them. Tatyana had two friends, Darren Dreamer and Amin, but no romantic interests. Posted by Picasa


Tatyana lives in this small apartment, and is very lonely.  Posted by Picasa


This is my second attempt at a Legacy Challenge, so wish me luck. This here is Tatyana Legacy, (my daughter's name choice) she is a family sim, and she has blue eyes and blond hair. Posted by Picasa
