Sims 3 Legacy challenge week 7

Trying to take their minds off the inevitable future, the Owens family kept them selves busy as can be.


Zinnia began practicing guitar in public, and found it brought in a few pennies at the same time. Zea'a hacking was bringing in quite abit of money and Zinnia wanted to prove you could bring in money without having to hack it out of peoples bank accounts.
Maria painted a self portrait, but she wasn't pleased with. No matter how she played with the canvas it looked like she had a tash.


and Zebrina Pendula was taught to walk and use her potty.




But the future caught up with them no matter how busy they kept. That much feared day was upon Maria and Torgo. That marker of a birthday that allowed them to retire.
It was almost spoiled by Zebrina, who didn't want to be left out. Once she had joined them all, Torgo blew out his candles for the last time.



Followed closely by his wife.



Zebrina didn't think much of the change and began crying again.


Still a good looking pair even as elders.


Time really was moving too fast, she jumped straight into making sure Zebrina Pendula could talk, making sure she new she was mummies little diamond sparkle.



"you are my sunshine, my little sunshine"


She managed to complete a much better painting of herself and hung it with the others in the family room.



Maria took retirement straight away, worrying day and night of the time left with her children, and wishing she had not had Zebrina Pendula so late.


Her worry was manifesting in her painting and she spent almost every hour the other children where in school playing with Zebrina. This child would grow up smart and happy no matter what Maria's age was.


Their baby twin girls where to become adults, and ready to face the world, how would those eyebrows and chins turn out. Both girls thought hard about their wish before blowing out the candles.




Zinnia become quite the looker.




And despite the eyebrowage Zea was a pretty young thing too.
They both rushed out to find jobs, leaving their brothers alone to deal with school work.


Zea walked round and round town, but couldn't find a good out doors job, specially not one that left her with enough time for her fishing. So instead went to the graveyard to sit and read.
She noticed they had a part time position there, and though it was night time grave digging, it would be just perfect for her.


She didn't even mind the ghosts. She decided not to tell the family she only found a part time place, specially with her father worrying more and more with each day about the bank account. Would he ever reach his dream of filling it with simoleans or had the family way drained him of even his dreams.
Zinnia had no need to look for work, she ran straight to the theater. Being only a school leaver they said she could practice her drama for a while and be a rabid fan to hype up the place. But she could work her way up, she knew that.


After getting a job she decided to busk for a few simoleans when that fit muscular guy she used to see at school tipped her.


They got talking and it turns out they are going to be working together. They could even one day be big together. Rich famous musicians. It also turns out that Sam new Maria a bit, his dad Leighton and Maria know eachother quite well.



Sparks flew quick between the pair, and before they new it their lips touched, then touched some more, infact they barely stopped touching all night.


With both girls working in the evening, Maira was pleased to be able to make them pancakes for breakfast. Zinnia told them about her new love.


Zea rolled her eyes, and Maria commented how pleased she was with her girls.


She began painting them straight away.
Zinnia finished her childhood relationship with Rasheed, She loved him to bits, but really it was just the progression of childhood romance, what her and Sam had was special.



Sam happened to turn up at the park the same time, so she asked him if he wanted to go steady.



Zebrina Pendula and Arctotis played together while Maria continued painting her beloved girls. Nobody liked the fact Zebrina tried to bite the heads of all her toys, but they said nothing in hope it was just a toddler phase. Her and her brother where about to have a joint birthday, and toy chewing (or head biting would end)


A mini Zea she has become




Looks like Arctotis is growing to be a hansom chap.
After the birthday celebrations the girls go back to hacking and practice. As Zea has not been caught yet, Zinnia is going to keep quiet about her hacking just a little longer. Hopefully she will find another way to make simoleans.



Everybody is pleased with Maria's portraits of the girls and they are hung together in the family room.


Zebrina Pendula is showing some worrying traits.
Surely little girls her age should not be thinking of bio hazard so often



Hopefully her evil tendencies will pass with age, she is a happy little girl after all, and great at art.



Maria began and finished one last portrait of herself. An old to go with the new.


So with generation 2 becoming adults what does the Owens family future hold for them, success or failure?



But whatever it brings at least Zea took it upon herself to short out those eyebrows
