I know I haven't been posting lately, but I've been busy with other things- like saving up money and prepping for Seasons.

I'm losing sleep over Seasons. You see, one page said it would require a 2GHz processor. See, I have a 2.16GHz one. My dad just spend 2,000 on a laptop and I don't think he'd want to spend another 700 on a new 2.33GHz processor... but I'm worried it won't play. :(

It's been only, like, what? two minutes, and here's another update. I just had to post news of Minnie's death, lol!


Gena is a toddler, and she's precious, only her teeth stick out of her chin. I HATE that bug!


Waylon reached the top of the career he's in! Yay! He's helping pay the bills, because he DID marry into the family after all.


Gena became a child. She's so cute.


I caught this picture of Gena being furious at something. I didn't even know children could get furious. X.X


Another pic of her... she resembles her daddy, don't you think?


Gena in her off-to-the-bus-and-first-day-of-school pic.


Meanwhile, Xena has delivered twins. Fabulous... two mouths to feed! I think this is Genie...


And this is Will. I think. He/she didn't throw up on Xena, it's just that she's looking at Waylon.

End of update. I PROMISE there will be more next time and not so many pics of Gena. Later!

The G2 heiress to the Cotta Legacy, Minnie, has passed away of an accident. She was 61.

Minnie was the daughter of the founder, Candy, and her husband, Goopy. She had one brother, Giovanno, who is still very alive and healthy and is expecting his first child with his wife, Beverly.

Minnie soon dropped out of college [College is so boring!] and married Christopher Custer, a man whom she met through their mutual friend, Cherry Roennigke. She had two children, Colin and Xena.

Xena became the heiress, taking after her mother, while Colin became engaged to the family maid, Kaylynn. Minnie was a grandmother to only one child, Gena, before passing away. Had she lived, she would have seen the births of two more grandchildren, Will and Genie.

Minnie was buried next to her father, Goopy. The family is still mourning their loss.



Yep, Minnie's dead. She's in a pic in a previous post of mine... She's the lady in the red dress. :D That's all for now. Toodles.

Well, it's kinda early for an update, but oh well.


Chris is a good grandpa, except he never sees Gena in the daytime.


Yes! Woohoo! Potty trained and taught to walk & talk night she became a toddler! I LOVE SMART MILK! [I just read that wrong, and I thought it said 'taught to WooHoo night she became a toddler'. XXXDDD]


Gena and her daddy... Isn't she cute??


Waylon going back to the old'n days of being a repairman... before his bundle of joy came along


Erm, you're a bad grandpa if you can't cook, right?

This update is going to be a short one, since I have to go to bed soon. Well, I could stay up all night, but I don't want to since my house gets kinda creepy at night, even though it's not very old :( But this is my second update today! YAY!


Candy's ghost finally makes an appearance after all these days... I wonder what she'll do.


She cheers for her bed and she's happy it's still there. I don't blame her. I'd want my stuff where it was.


Hey! What's she laughing about? The fact she hasn't been featured in this livejournal yet?


More mommy-daughter love. If only I would take pics of Waylon and Gena...


Kaylynn reading the newspaper. Hopefully she found a place to live with her fiance.


And she did! Hmm, where'd he go?

That's all for now, folks. I like the style of pics you see in the last two images. I might keep doing that, I don't know.

My G3 heiress, Xena, had a baby girl named Gena. Woo! The Cotta naming pattern for females is the name starts with the 9th letter after her mother's name(i.e. Candy > Minnie, which explains the X and G. Gena's daddy is Waylon Fairchild, the now-ex-family-repairman.

Waylon got promoted! Yay! He's a locker room attendant now. I'm managing 7 Sims, which I'm not very fond of since it means working extra hard, but I think I'll move Xena's brother Colin and his fiance Kaylynn the maid out. Kaylynn has awesome genetics even though it won't contribute to the bloodline, since my G10 children will have to be descended from Xena and Gena :( But they'll have Waylon's awesome genetics. I just can't get over that!

Waylon recently went into aspirational failure. :( Poor guy. He ate a burned grilled cheese sandwich he cooked, so that's 5,000 aspiration points down the drain that could be used for a really handy energizer that the family vampire-and-money-making-person could use, since I'm keeping Chris, the said family vampire-and-money-making-person alive since they need to build up a fortune... at this writing, they have $39,674, but 3 Sims in the family have jobs, including Chris(who makes $3,033 as a Hall of Famer, which is why he's a vampire) so it'll build up if I don't buy any more objects. :D

If you're confused about this entire thing and don't know what I'm talking about:

Candy(Family) is the founder of this legacy. She married Goopy GilsCarbo(originally romance, became grilled cheese after) and had two children, Giovanno(romance) and Minnie(fortune). Both dropped out of college eventually and Minnie became heir, marrying Christopher Custer(originally fortune, now grilled cheese). Giovanno moved out and married his girlfriend Beverly Wood(knowledge), even though he was romance. Minnie herself had two children, Colin(family) and Xena(fortune- gaaargh!). (Beverly is pregnant, but I don't play her and her husband anymore so she's stuck in pregnancy for all eternity.) Colin became engaged to the maid, Kaylynn Langerak(family), and Xena got married to Waylon Fairchild(popularity- now grilled cheese), the repairman who worked for the family for ages since Xena was a child. Then, Xena had Gena. The end.

Ok, that's only up to generation four but so what. :P

There's a family tradition as well, and that would be every heiress's husband becomes grilled cheese no matter his/her aspiration unless it's already grilled cheese. It started with Goopy. :D


Waylon returning home from work- and getting a promotion as well


Mother-daughter love. You can see Daddy in the background making grilled cheese


Same ol' same ol' grandpa Chris waking up from a nice long slumber


I really should expand the kitchen... the old kitchen became bugged and I moved it upstairs


I'm really, really sorry, Waylon!
