the bakelite legacy 5.4

[furbyq]

opal: there's so many EVIL things i want to do to you

jasreen: hold on, i got broccoli stuck in my gaping maw

jasreen: there we go



rondie: i DEFINITELY don't want to be best friends with skylar specifically.

harsh, but okay i guess?



rondie: come play with us, sapphire.

sapphire: terrifying.



i have to say, this bus driver really has a look going on.

and she's awfully happy despite amethyst taking forever to get on.





banjo 2 is still missing but i support your dreams



i keep having sapphire call about banjo 2 but nothing really... happens.



sapphire: my winged cat has gone missing.

pet detective agency: lol that sounds like a you problem bye.



moonstone strikes me as someone who has no difficulty reading small text



this is one of the first pics taken more recently and honestly, the way i'm storing my hacked objects is very confusing when i spend time not playing.



sapphire: BANJO 2

pet detective agency: MA'AM YOUR CAT IS GONE



for some reason, professor kari's zombie skin overlay broke and it took me a while to figure out how to fix it. so she has a neck seam in some pictures.



i gave her some extra makeup to detract from the neck seam. i think it helps.



jasper: i should start knitting.

druzy: i require assistance

jasper: then i could give my unsolicited opinions on this knitting forum and no one could stop me.

druzy: I AM STARVING



druzy: SOMEBODY CHANGE ME

skylar: stop distracting me, this is a very important self chess game.



well, damn. it was a fun ride, but rondie's time finally came.



moonstone: GRANDPA IS DYING NO *gross sobbing*

opal: lol bye dad



rondie: what the fuck? i'm dying?

jasper: get wrecked, mortal.

skylar and jasreen, who aren't related to rondie at all: *actually give a shit that he's dying, unlike his kids and jasper*



peridot: I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIED WHILE I WAS DOING SOMETHING ELSE AND I MISSED IT

quartz: what a great early memory.



i see the tradition of teaching toddlers to walk in front of the stairs is still going strong.



i went ahead and changed amethyst's hair to this because he needs to be more exciting. i kind of love him now.



who just filled the bathtub and wandered off

rondie hasn't even come back as a ghost yet

what are y'all doing





i may have mentioned it before, but jasreen is a surprisingly competent parent. especially now that rondie isn't here to help.



peridot's still going strong, though! ...for now.



impromptu smustle party in the smallest room in the house? sign me up





skylar: i seem to have smustled my way into this wall

sapphire: are you okay?

skylar: no i am not



moonstone: so like, fuck burglars?

jasreen: absolutely. if you ever meet a burglar, fight it to the death.



aw shit, that was fast.

bye peridot. you were one of my faves.



skylar: hey this is a bad time, my mother-in-law is dying.

skylar: WAIT WHAT, YOU FOUND BANJO 2??



would i like you to bring my pet back???

YES????????

why is no an option??



"take better care of your pet" banjo 2 ran away because of a fire, i didn't even do anything



i fixed professor kari! it turned out to be some sort of... problem? with the makeup defaults i downloaded and i fixed it using the supernatural transformer to turn the overlay on and off.

lookin sharp, zombie professor kari.



druzy: I NEED ATTENTION

jasper: i'm in the middle of deep cleaning the house

druzy: AAAAAAAA



amethyst is still very cute *___*



and moonstone... well. he tries. his face tries to be a face.



jasper: *loudly teaches druzy a nursery rhyme while opal and jasreen sleep*



during my reinstall, i forgot to replace the videos for my custom game cabinets. honestly, they're funnier this way, but i swear i will fix it. eventually.



moonstone: oh, yes, i am a fan of fine cinema.

amethyst: neither of us have watched a movie in our entire life.



i'm so glad banjo 2 is back. and so is everyone else!

honestly, banjo 2 is... a nicer cat than banjo was. banjo was mean as fuck.







skylar: i think my omelettes turned out well.

moonstone: what do you want? an award?

skylar: harsh



sometimes the bakelites just... go outside and lounge on the wedding benches. not sure what that's about.



i keep forgetting that they own the shittiest car possible in this game.

i really want to make more recolors of this car with the flames decal, it's what the bakelites and all of my other sims deserve.



sapphire: man, i'm glad we're friends with benefits.

skylar:  sapphire, we've been married for like 15 years.



for a while, amethyst and moonstone were sharing a room, but i finally decided to split peridot and rondie's old room into two new rooms for them.

this is amethyst's room.



and this is moonstone's! i was low on decorating energy at the time but i think they turned out okay.





jasreen really had nothing better to do other than stalk opal ALL DAY, so i decided to have her build a garden that she almost immediately lost interest in.

also cavan is here. hi, cavan!



i had jasper work on alt portraits for sapphire and opal, because i wasn't the biggest fan of the originals. i ended up replacing sapphire's, but i kept opal's original one in the end.



banjo 2: pet me, fool. TOUCH MY WINGS.

jasper: *aggressively painting*



opal and jasreen both rolled wants to go on a date, so i figured i'd indulge them for once.

unfortunately, new xanadu only has one date-worthy community lot so far, but eventually i'll fix that.



for some reason, when i sent them to the strip mall for a date, this immediately popped up and i've honestly never been so confused.

they haven't been on vacation in ages and jasper and kari aren't even here.



waiter: yes, what can i get for you today?

opal: chef's choice, please.

jasreen: the souls of the innocent.

waiter: pardon?

jasreen: chef's choice.



helenine, why are you making macaroni and cheese. this is a restaurant.



opal: it's honestly such a relief that banjo 2 came back.

jasreen: we should send ocean a card!

goth townie: yo... what the fuck is going on with that chick's face?



this date had a lot of potential to be cute. like, legitimately.



but other sims kept coming up and staring at jasreen and i'm unsure why.

petra: i want to paint you



goth townie: what ARE you?

opal: DRESSES



opal and jasreen decided to slow dance RIGHT next to the podium after dinner.

maitre'd: 911? send help



opal and jasreen: *smooch*

maitre'd: SEND HELP FASTER





the date was finished with a woohoo in the bakelite ancestral vehicle.

it might not be the same one mythril owned since i switched games, but in lore, it is.



jasreen: oh shit, yeah, i have a garden to take care of.

opal: *aggressively acr queues*



after what seems like forever, quartz finally had a birthday! she's oddly adorable.



especially after a little makeover.

the only thing that worries me is those cheekbones.



i made over the nursery and moonstone and amethyst's old room for druzy and quartz, although i seem to have lost the pic of druzy's room. it's similar to this, just with purple tones.



speaking of druzy! i think she's basically a clone of skylar, but i like her nonetheless.



ts2 cat tails look so delightfully fluffy



opal: who's a good baby? is it you?

banjo 2: :3



moonstone also had a birthday! and he certainly. has a face

i accidentally put him in the same hoodie skylar is wearing and never changed it. awkward.



literally everyone was rolling wants about private school, so i had skylar invite the headmaster up.

although the house was kind of a shambles, so i got jasper on the case.



he did like, three things, and then his arm got stuck like this.



unfortunately, that was his plunger arm, so it just. led to this scenario where he unclogged a toilet by punching it with his good arm.



i think this is the first picture where the garden officially became sapphire's garden.

she's the only one who rolled any wants related to it.



jasreen was busy doing this.



and petting cats.



banjo 2 had to suddenly run outside and hiss at a sim, and what do you know, it's scarlet ramsey.

banjo 2 isn't going to let her into this legacy, since hers failed.



scarlet: hey, how's it--

jasper: pfft i don't talk to legacy failures. come back when you have something IMPRESSIVE to show me.



look ok. do i take too many pictures of banjo 2? yes. do i have regrets? no.



the headmaster showed up after forever. i wonder if he's related to the bus driver.



headmaster: this lobster thermidor is to die for.

jasreen: I AM A GREAT COOK

skylar: didn't jasper--

jasreen: SHSHSHHHHSHHHH



jasper and kari were the best candidates for giving the tour, so i had jasper do it.

jasper: allow me to show you my house, in my pjs.

headmaster: is your wife okay

jasper: NO SHE'S DEAD



the ghost of peridot: OOOO I'M A GHOST

sapphire, a knowledge sim: :DDDD



you ever just. phase though your blankets?



although more friendly, banjo 2 is super destructive and tries to tear everything up. despite me buying scratching posts.



hooray, a lamp i don't need! also i accidentally took my matchmaker default out and internally cringed. me @ me put that back in.



druzy: if i have 59 pies and my friend asks for 12, how many pies do i have left?

skylar: jesus christ who has that many pies



amethyst is extra and REALLY wanted a birthday party, so i gave in and had jasreen arrange one. i would've had sapphire or skylar do it, but they didn't know everyone for some reason.



i immediately regret everything



I REGRET EVERYTHING

WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS



why can't you be like turquoise and just keep to yourself

i don't need another opal/jasreen situation



amethyst: i guess i'll blow out the candles now

garnet: hold up, gotta werewolf

amethyst: :/

garnet: AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



mawreen: oh my god! garnet's a werewolf!

turquoise: it's chill

topaz: how could you possibly not know he's a werewolf? that's like someone not knowing i'm a medieval enthusiast.



garnet: this party sucks. nothing's happening

have you tried. turning around



amethyst: i wish for my next birthday to suck less!



this is just the outfit he aged up into but i gotta say. lookin good, ammy.



sapphire: what if we tried for another kid?

skylar: i'm listening

sapphire: on opal and jasreen's bed?

skylar: YEAH

have fun, fuckers. birth control is still on.



garnet: what if you DIED?

jasper: never going to happen

*F O R E S H A D O W I N G ?*



amethyst, post-makeover! the hair makes more sense now.



sapphire: you're cute!

skylar: no, you're cute! :>

jasreen: *primping intensifies*



hey, it's ocean! thanks again, ocean, for bringing banjo 2 back but being cryptic about it.



amethyst wanted a job but got fired literally on the first day. good job, bro.



skylar: oh... what a clutch move.

moonstone: well, i'll move my rook here.

opal: i'll just take it with my queen.

skylar: OH SHIT



opal finally mastered the logic skill! congrats, opal.



i can't remember if i've posted pictures of kari in her underwear before. but it's a LOOK.



amethyst: hey! i got an A+! be proud of me!

sapphire: not now, mommy and daddy are very busy.

opal: i'm proud!



moonstone has VERY few nice points and it shows. constantly.



amethyst: maybe i should look for another job.

moonstone: *gross sobbing* i can't believe i got a D on my report card. that's my least favorite letter.



too many sims are at the house all the time, so i decided to let sapphire get a job to try to fulfill her LTW. unfortunately, it took forever for the right job to show up in the random career rotation.



why are you guys doing this outside in the dark



oh shit! i thought these plants were going to die before they ever produced anything. good job, plants.



i gave moonstone and amethyst cellphones when they became teens, but neither of them knew ANYONE to call somehow. so i sent them to the park to meet some potential friends.

moonstone decided to come in his pjs. what a legend.



this is officially my favorite randomly generated townie. all other townies can go home.



amethyst: put 'er there!

moonstone: *screaming*

amazing townie: y'all seem like a lot of fun.



alex: damn... chess is hard.

amazing townie: i love soup. soup is simple.

melchior: fuck your soup.



moonstone: who's that hot jug of molasses? why, it's me. ;D



quartz and druzy came along for the ride, but didn't do much. quartz caught a fish, at least.



lucien: VOOOOOOOOOO GERBITS

melchior: yes. vo gerbits and such.

i didn't send either of you to uni and you're playables so what the fuck



opal: *smooches jasreen*

moonstone: can you do that like... anywhere else



opal: COME ON BABY LET'S BUST A MOVE

moonstone: windex is used to clean windows! who knew?



rondie scared professor kari and she peed herself. that's so rude, she's an elder and a zombie, she never had a chance.



that's kind of harsh. all he did was turn into a werewolf at your birthday party, dude.



more birthdays! neither with a party, sadly. they didn't roll the wants.



i sometimes send everyone off to uni as soon as the last kid becomes a teen, but i did play a few days after this because druzy had the overachiever want.



sapphire finally got into the architecture career to hopefully accomplish her LTW! she doesn't have a ton of time left, but we'll see what we can do.

looking fierce, saph.



she got promoted on the first day and had to tell the mailbox all about it.



just so you know, quartz rolled grilled cheese as her secondary aspiration.

SO IT BEGINS



druzy: DAD I GOT AN A!!

amethyst: FUCK YEAH I GOT AN A+

skylar: i am busy begrudgingly tending the garden.



quartz turned that one fish she caught into some sparkly food. i'm proud of her.



after accomplishing a couple of things i wanted to do, i went ahead and sent everyone to uni to finish up this update!

now onto the adult makeovers...



moonstone!! who i actually like more than i thought i would.

popularity/knowledge
taurus 3 9 2 10 2

i generally also post turn ons/turn offs but i forgot to record them before closing the game and don't think they're that important anyways.



quartz!

romance/grilled cheese
capricorn 10 2 3 10 10



druzy! *___*

fortune/knowledge
pisces 3 3 9 4 6




aaaaand amethyst! who got some cool little glasses.

romance/knowledge
cancer 6 3 6 4 6

i've decided to do an heir poll this generation, since i don't really have a strong preference for heir out of the four. this should give me a good excuse to not play the bakelites for a few days and actually work on adding things to my neighborhood. if it results in a tie, i may consider double heirs again, but most likely i'll use a coin flip or something to decide a single heir.

vote for the generation 6 heir here!

Moonstone and Quartz certainly grew into their face situations. Quartz is cute; she kind of looks like a Gray.

[furbyq]

yeah! they definitely did-- especially quartz. i was really worried about her cheekbones for a while. and you're right, she does kind of look like a gray. XD

[azaya]

i laughed a lot throughout but this

>headmaster: is your wife okay

>jasper: NO SHE'S DEAD

really fuckin got me.

[furbyq]

askjsakdjls same tbh

i had a lot of trouble with captioning this update so i'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)

[hotaruthodt]

Whoops I accidentally replied to Azaya's comment. Anyway...

Man, this Bakelites update was worth the wait (that rhymed! XD). Also, seeing Melchior and Lucien make and appearance made me happy even though they're not my OCs. Now I can't help but imagine Mordecai knocking up a future Bakelite heir to father some unspoken evil. LOL

I gotta ask: Is there any way you could upload Goth Townie? I like her...not at much as Jasreen, but still. XD

[furbyq]

thanks for saying so! <3 tbh adding them to this neighborhood was sort of an accident, but honestly just having them in the background of the legacy is kind of hilarious to me. and oh god... some part of me doesn't want that to happen but it'd be very on-brand for the bakelites AND mordecai.

yeah! you can download her here. she was randomly generated in my game so i believe her face is one of pooklet's templates.

[hotaruthodt]

To be honest when I saw Melchoir hating on soup I was surprised...and then amused. Did you upgrade them to Pre-Uni? That could explain the Vo Gerbitzing.

Also thank you for uploading goth townie. It took me awhile to find her given my SavedSims folder is pretty full. I'll likely add her to my hood next time I load the game. I gotta ask though: What's her eye colour?

[furbyq]

i probably did do that, lol. with non-challenge sims i used to use the batbox to give them fake degrees, although now i just add want slots with insim so my non-uni sims don't have uni interactions spammed on them, like the "congrats you graduated" one. i added them to the game a few months ago so that would make sense.

if i remember correctly her eyes in my game are orange or light brown. :)
