Legacy Home Photos

Alright, as I know that Gemma is going to be Dying to know what's behind each and every door so she can better visualize where my sims are in story (and because this took me a lot of work. I know it's not luxury like I'd envision luxury (sleek and modern) but that's not Layla's style. She kind of likes all the curley cues and spirals and scrolls and the details. Though we did find a compromise in the bold colors I chose to make the photo backgrounds pop. I do like those. There are not before shots. If you want before shots, open up AP and go peek at the house and barn yourself. It's a two bedroom two bathroom affair and the barn isn't attached, or two story on Pomona Promenade. The Rancheroo I think it's called? Maybe? Anyway, screw it. It's the Sixkiller family abode for now!

Let's start with the North wing and work our way around the L shaped house that way. So our first stop is the Master Suite:

Yeah. That just has to be what they're doing while I'm trying to get early morning lighting in the pics. Of course.

Anyhow, the Master Bedroom misses out on the Luxury goal because of the desk. But the desk with the most +s was incredibly modern and fit nothing else. And I really need that desk right there for alter on. And the drawers. Need them.

From the wall we just looked at. The door on the left leads to the Great Room. And if anyone out there knows of an override to get rid of the stencil on that wardrobe please let me know. Those roses drive me kind of nuts. Actually, that entire Rococo wanna be mess drives me nuts. Blah.

Anyway, let's take the door on the right, shall we?

Barrell Roll! Let's try again

Okay, it's a lavatory. The lighting has since been fixed so the makeup case isn't glowing like that. Oh look! Another door! (On the right) We'll take that to go into my favorite room:

The Master Bath. Creepy bathtime watcher not included. And the height of the blue painting has been fixed *facepalm. I thought I did all that before the picture taking. Sorry.

Oh! When Aunt Estella discovers there is a room in this house where nudity is not just might happen, but is encouraged and there's a window with no curtains or frosted glass!!! Oh my! Oh well. Pretend it's frosted like I am. lol

If you were to go out of the door on the left in the Master Bedroom, this is what you'd find on the RIGHT when you left it. (Layout shot later so it won't be so confusing.) Ignore the jubilant gnome doing cartwheels for the gratification of the insects buzzing around in that thingy over in the corner.

But to straighten our barings out a little, lets pretend we came in the front door (as we still work our way around the L)

Then that's your first view. A nice little pile of gems that mean I get a burglar like every other night. Really. Eventually I'm going to do a montage. When the time is right. It'll happen.
Oh look! Archways. Lets go look at the redone kitchen.

Nothing special. It's just really nice on routing is all. Back out the archways!

I know there is a fix for Mag's door out there (it's the door that came with it and I was lazy and didn't want to change it.) and I need to get it. So ignore the blue line at the top of the door where the  wall clips through.

Right Face! Forward March!

There is nothing out that door right now. Eventually I'll stick a grill out there or something, but again. Another unfixed Mag's door. The little bump on the left is the housebath.

Barrell Roll! And we're standing in the wall somehow too. Ha! Out the door and to the left now!

A sitting room and a place to display all of Layla's tchotchkes. There are a few prom photos up on a table as well. The door on the left goes to what is the garage. Though they have no cars. So really it's a big empty room that has the laundry stuffs in it. lol

Standing at the stairway looking around. The cabinet is really empty looking. As soon as Layla gets a break from being my story bitch she's got to go pick up some more clutter to fill this room.

The prom photos are on that table in no particular order. The one on the right is Helen's prom photo, on the left is Galen and Arden. The one on the wall is Phedra. The lighting has been fixed in that room too so the fake topiary isn't glowing. And yes it's night in this pic. This room was done and I forgot to get a photo with the morning light.

Up the stairs! Up the stairs! Don't worry. We're almost through. I lost imagination about here.

See? Lost imagination. Completely blank slate for when I finally get an idea. Though we'll peek in two of these doors. The one on the far right first.

That bathroom looks like it's been hosed down in Pepto Bismol. Sorry for all the differing shades of pink. As I said, at this point I just couldn't be bothered anymore. lol

Though I made an attempt on Tibi's room at least. I couldn't resist. There are no toys because there is a part of the upstairs where they hang out. You'll see it in the layout shots if you're still brave and sticking around.



Upstairs Layout shot first, just because we've been there done that most recently:

See? Tibi has toys and a place to play with them. On the farthest point from Layla's room as possible.

 

In the grand scheme of things, where the upstairs is.

 

 

 

 

The house laid out. And there those two are at it again in the kitchen. Geez. And yet these two have nothing, Nothing, on Buck and Helen. Really.

2.24 Bloopers and Outtakes

Ignacio's morning routine the first morning I have him living in the house went something like this. So, what exactly came first? The chicken or the egg?

The Chicken???

Or the Egg??? This took up almost 2 sim hours of his time. O_O. Time to pump up those LTR points and get a trait taken off of that list I see. Oh yeah, he has the brooding trait right now. That will change. I don't know if I can handle two brooding sims in the same house. It also doesn't fit his personality at all. So random.

 

 

Teaching Tibi to talk was a lot of fun to watch. She's all about drama!

 

 

 



She wants a cell phone!

It's like she's all ready to become a teenager. Ignacio was not impressed by this. However, he wasn't impressed with the next one either and I laughed so hard at it.

Wanna know why this was so funny?

That's why. It was so fitting. Layla's on the phone with Ned Nickerson Hale, Ignacio's filthy rich enemy in game, while his daughter expounds on the subject of money. lol Love my pixel babies. (Oh yeah, I based Ned off of Nancy Drew's goody goody boyfriend.)

Or course Tibi was at the party.

Baby Book ends! All the rage now in game.

 



Oh look! We can see Nalleli's face!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Father and son dressed alike. If only the game hadn't been acting so meanly to me That could have been fixed. Oh well.

 

 

 

 

No Layla! No! That's Ignacio's dad! Stop that!

 

 

 

 

So I direct Ignacio over there, where he throws a routing tantrum, and Layla takes matters into her own hands while I try to get Iggy back on track. No.Layla.No. Nalleli is not impressed by their behavior. And why is it Layla autonomously does a flirty interaction to the person I don't want her doing it to? Crazy sim.

 

 

 

Sabria thinks they're just making themselves look like clowns.

 

 

 

 

 

When it doesn't look like her son is going to intervene she attempts using telepathy to get Layla to back away from her husband.

 

 

 

 

Discovering that it's not working and Ignacio is powerless to intervene with something off with the routing:

 

 

 

 

She switches to attempting to make Santiago behave through her Mind Tricks. lol

 

 

 

 

Why Ignacio was really shaking Raul's hand. Mind Meld. lol. Love the look on Raul's face.

 

 

 

 

This is Layla's actual reaction to when Nalleli asked her if they were going to get married. "Only after I get a pool. Priorities you know."

 

 

 

 

It seems that was the right answer.

 

 

 

 

Benni Bedlington is not impressed with the party. Layla asks Nalleli when she's going to die.

 

 

 

 

And meanwhile Raul is worried about Iggy dying. Lots of death talk this party.

 

 

 

 

In the overcrowded bathroom Santiago thinks he's such a fly on the wall. You don't blend in, sir.

 

 

 

 

Silas' formal outfit. I so wish my game would have behaved so I could have opened CAS the million times it needed to be opened.

 

 

 

 

He just stood there doing his creepy stare at Layla. Creepy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah. That's the face you want memories of Layla. Awesome. Get a pic of that honey.

 

 

 

 

And Sally as a YA. It's still very much Sally. I'd offer her up for download, but I'm kind of scared I might have saved her while she is preggers. So I'll save her again when I know for sure she's not.



Gardening argument

I wish I could have found a way to work these in somehow, but there just wasn't a way. It looks like Layla and Sabria are arguing about gardening, and for whatever reason Ignacio is convinced that they need to be gardening by the light of the moon. Of course. Take a look:

 

 

 

 

 

They all started right at the same time. Synchronized arguing sims style.

Look at all the angry eyes up there! Wow. And let me tell you something, Sabria is scary looking when she's pulling angry face.

Then they all suddenly got all whiney about their topic. "No-Listen to me!"

And as quickly as it started, it stopped. Poor Layla wouldn't look at the other two. I laughed like anything. Every one of them playing to type exactly like I want. Love them all.

Chapter 2.18 outtakes

 

Sally is So Exited! She thinks she hears Wedding bells!

 

 

 

So just who does she think those Wedding bells are for?

 

 

 

 

Who else? And Layla is totally oblivious. Lol. I figured it was just the animation for 'excited engaged' but she kept staring at Layla while she did it. And no, Layla is not engaged to anyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now then, for the real makeover Sally gave Layla:

 

 

Sally made Layla cry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be fair, I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to look like I got my clothes from a 70's circus cast off bin either.

Even after her regular clothes had been restored she still couldn't quite meet Sally's eye. Poor thing.

Ignacio's brother Raul totally decided to get in on the action. I've got to fix his hair and I forget every time I'm in game. Oh well. But anyhow, there is one of his siblings walking around town. His sister refuses to show up when I want her to. Maybe we'll see her another time. She's really striking looking.

Barefoot at the Pool

So, wanna guess who that is? I was completely floored by this shot. In fact, I had to go into build/buy and make it daylight in an attempt to see just who it was. Still not able to figure it out I went up to the maptags.

It's NED. I have no idea where that outfit or hair came from. I'd sent Layla to the pool to ask Ned to 'Just be Friends' since I'd found him skinny dipping there using maptags. When I went to take a look I honestly thought Layla had flouted my directions and had found someone else to socialize with. He looks better that way imho.

And for anyone who didn't know, in game, Ned and Ignacio are enemies. Their fight over Layla went nuclear not long after Layla's date with Ned.

Cruz Martingale is now an elder who rocks pigtails. It made me lol.

Fishin' and politics. I've gotten it into Layla's head at last, you Will do what I say!

WTF Cyrus?

I want to know what Cyrus said to get that look from Phedra SO bad! That is the best WTF? look I've ever had from a sim. You go Phedra! You rock that "Stupid Older Brother Ruining My Life" look girl! Snaps Up!
