we start this update with jasper's six pack



since jasper is immortal and still in the house, i added a picture of all his kids to his and professor kari's floor so he could see it all the time (if sims could see things)





i also updated the heir portraits because i would rather have nicely posed pictures! and this way i can put their portraits over their urns in the cemetery.



peter williams gets electrocuted. zircon does not care.



agate: zombie grandmother passed out. this is so sad, alexa play re: your brains by jonathan coulton.



primadonna: i'll have you know i graduated with honors!

random townie: i don't care.



prima had a want to fall in love with someone new so i tried the matchmaker. the date was so lame i have no evidence of it.





sean: you dare flirt with me? SHAME

quartz: goddamn it asexual bigfoot!



everyone clusters together, forming a fire hazard.



zirc and bizzy are still fighting, but zircon usually kicks bismuth's ass in these fights.

zircon: and take that, bitch!

obsidian: right in front of my craigslist search??



and then we had Young Adults! here's obsidian

zircon: hey guys, can i blow bubbles with you? please? come on!

diamond: get rekt batnerd



knock knock

who's there?

charles lee

charles lee who?

charles lee would like the fighting to stop



wouldn't be a university gen without purple streaking alien man



zircon: i am adept, at the ARTS

agate: i've seen your art and it isn't that good

cafeteria worker: i hate my job



agate is a very sincere-looking sim to me for some reason. and he's very nice to his siblings too.





everyone succeeds, except zircon who is fail city. he seriously flunked his first semester and man was i mad.



jet: talking about charisma can raise your charisma skill! it's like charisma-ception!



zirc has 9 neat points so he's a bundle of fun in the same way jasper was. even jet and bismuth, who have 10 neat points, do not clean as much as he does.



jet: but then sometimes charisma gets SCARY. and WILD. and F E R O C I O U S . some serious cult of personality bullshit.



pearl, who has never done anything wrong in his life, gets intimidated by mr. cow man



diamond shoots his shot with aki, whom his mother also tried to woo. it goes about as well for him as it did for quartz.



jet: WOO! YEAH!! HYPE! YOU GO CAFETERIA LADY

cafeteria worker:
i hate my job



agate shows his fondness for the high femme aesthetic



term paper time. i swear to god this generation has the focusing power of a small mouse.





angory smustle



bismuth builds a snowman since the university is in a snowy climate. pearl provides moral support with his ass



agate dreams of making friends. does he follow his dreams? no, not really



quartz and jasreen visit for graduation!! everyone graduated except zircon, who i had to play another semester of.

evil snowman: yeah get rekt green-haired nerd.



did you think the fighting stopped? i assure you it didn't.



post-graduation brawl!! yaaaaay



i like taking pics of zirc for some reason. my baby boy



bigfoot smustle party!!



professor kari steals some brain-flavored chips from the university fridge. why did they have brain-flavored chips? because it's an inclusive university obviously!



sean is just here for the food.



anyways, we have our heir, who is zircon!



zircon christens the family home with his rad jumping skills and impeccable fashion.



aaaand here's his room made over!! i really like how it turned out.



immediately we go spouse hunting. we meet alex voelkner and pango palantine-gladwater, neither of whom fit the criteria of actually having chemistry.

alex: hey, nice batwings my brother

zircon: i know i look good



we of course rely on the matchmaker for helping us to find a mate for this hopeless fucker.



whatever date he had was awful. like truly terrible if i didn't take pictures of it.



zircon finds malloria at the aquarium, but she and he don't have any chemisty. who does he have chemistry with apparently? his second cousin, amethyst.



that's when zircon met tiffany thistle. they IMMEDIATELY hit it off.

zircon: let me show you what these hands do

tiffany: i'm more interested in what that mouth do



first kiss time!



needless to say, the date went EXTREMELY well and tiffany is cute, which is a plus.



on their date they ate in jasreen's room for some weird reason. idgi



the bakelites decided to adopt a stray cat named rufus. he's very plain compared to banjo 2 but he's alright.



tiffany: oh.... do that's what that mouth do



tiffany moves in!! i don't think he had very much money but it's alright, as long as he's here.



they immediately do this, which seems appropriate.



you guys already

you already made out

what



zircon: hi skylar!!

tiffany: A G-G-G-GHOST



yeah that's an appropriate outfit to wear around your grandmother



quartz: ow my hand

tiffany: ow her hand



it's time to try for baby, baby!!







did you think jasper ever stops cleaning? he does not



tiffany:
yay i got fired! BOW DOWN TO MY VOCATIONAL SUPERIORITY



endica: what the fuck are you wearing

zircon: WHAT I WANT, MOM





rufus REALLY like professor kari. it's kind of cute



why the fuck are you two relaxing together???

zircon: help i am trapped by the peter williams

peter williams: i am an inconvenience!! my life's dream



and then jasreen died and jasper was SUPER sad about it. poor jasper.



i'll miss you, mawreen spawn T_T



the bakelites bought a new business! the bakelite shop



primadonna: what if we buried the hatchet

peter williams: i don't forget and i don't forgive



peter williams: did you hear about jasper? his daughter died

primadonna: how amusing



here's a good view of the shop! it's no SHOPE but it will do for the purposes i need it for.



this random townie compliments zircon and his batwings



for some odd reason, zircon has a romance with this employee. which i'm pretty sure is illegal? also he is an old man



zircon: i'm gonna get that old man dick

please don't



onyx's father, professor dawson dallas, visits bakelite shop and actually buys something. you're a real one, DD.



jasper: yo what the fuck

you fucked mawreen

jasper: YES BUT I WAS NOT EMPLOYING HER. also we bonded in the pit





of course after romancing that old man, zircon rolls the want to get engaged to tiffany. tiff accepts!





they make a cute ass couple!!



sean: i heard about these things called pranks. what do you think?

tiffany:
WHERE WERE YOU KEEPING THAT





i have zircon and tiffany get married in a quiet ceremony on the front lawn.



lots of people were in attendance, including the old man and charles lee.



of course primadonna absolutely hates charles lee and beats his ass



quilk also showed up and endica dolphin flipped onto his back



endica gets old! quartz isn't sure what to think



zircon: that primadonna is HOT

that is your mother's girlfriend and the mother of one of your siblings

why is zircon like this, he's a FORTUNE sim



i don't even know who was fighting this time, but a fight definitely happened.





sean: sean love jasper bakelite

jasper: you're really strong, almost like a bigfoot if those existed.



they wanted to try for baby again but the stairs and apparently primadonna got in their way





prima gets a new 'fit!! i think she looks great





ofc bismuth visits to steal the newspaper. can't let zircon read the comics ever



primadonna is STILL in the WAY



endica takes a nap on the probably pretty cool desert sand. sounds uncomfortable



peter williams: did you know that um. that beryl bakelite died? like get rekt jasper

sean: aha, this is humorous because everyone he knows is dead



finally we manage to try for baby again. i can't remember if either of them was pregnant at this point but we're certainly working on gen 8.



W H A T

W H Y



peter williams: wish i could use this telescope to look at dat furry silver ass





we have risky woohoo on. let's see how that goes



zircon is obviously the more adventurous of the two.








tiffany takes a turn at running the family business. is he good? no. is he trying? also no



sean is definitely working hard



sean: you would look great in heels

not charles lee: excuse me?





tiffany: congrats on getting your hobby card!

zircon: thanks, i'm pretty good at hobby





professor kari JUST notices that jasreen died. she has mixed emotions.

professor kari:
did i like that my husband had an affair? no. do i know it happened? also no.



peter williams:
jasper lost his sparklies

endica: what a basic bitch witch



sean: this seems normal and not like something i should intervene in.






some pretty townies come by the shop. and charles lee






for some reason, peter williams and endica started autonomously flirting. which i think is cute. i think endica is family secondary so she wants to get married, but quartz doesn't so her liking peter williams is perfect.



speaking of peter williams, he fails at making grilled cheese



POP! gen 8 is on the way!!



tiffany: hi

zircon:
hi

me: pans away



sean: and then crazy man peter williams put his face in a cactus!

amarcis: what a wild dude!



ok so... i'm pretty sure peter williams is pregnant. actually, i'm 100% sure. and you know what that means...

bigfoot child



zircon chills with scarlet ramsey, who has lost her wig.



i don't know if quartz approves but i certainly do. what would their ship name be? endeter? petica? i like petica.



rufus and banjo 2 don't really get along. this is unfortunate.



sean: spaghetti good...

peter: don't get spaghetti in my spaghetti



we've got a proposal since endica rolled it! peter williams is SHOOK



endica calls her family and friends over for a shotgun wedding.



even charles lee showed up! and bismuth, moonstone, and not charles lee. has charles lee ever interacted with not charles lee? no because they would cancel each other out



endica:
dear love of my life, peter williams.

peter williams: yeah say my name bitch



tiffany: in your eyes, give me a sign, darling. i watch you when you are sleeeeeeeping



oh jet and obsidian also showed up! and everyone stood in or across the street from the wedding because sims don't understand the edge of the lot.







it's official. i present mrs. and mr. endica vasquerelle



all in all it was a pretty good wedding!





someone is looking RIFE with babies. never go grocery shopping when you have pregnancy cravings.







jasper hasn't painted in FOREVER autonomously. i'm proud of him for putting those maxed out skills to use for the family income.



BABY TIME



we have gen 8! this is gold and silver bakelite!



the shop was popular today! and zircon is doing good earning his talent badges, so it doesn't take him 50 years to ring people up.



tiffany gets abducted by aliens! haven't had that happen since jasper's generation.



jasper: go aliens! probe that ass

tiffany: um OUCH???



rufus and banjo 2 have fought so much that rufus ran away. zircon called to let the animal services know.



look, i love gold and silver but we need a slightly more diverse gene pool if we have a chance of breeding out mawreen's eyebrow bones.




peter williams gives birth! this is sabrina bigfoot!



i missed actual shots of the baby but zircon gives birth to a baby named iron.



is this baby related to quartz? no, but she still does this.



agate visits just to paint high femme pictures again



rufus comes back but then he ran away AGAIN immediately.



haha

no



oh my fucking god stop stomping the bugs. jasper is slacking on his one job.



quartz ages up but man she still looks good for an elder.





more babies? why not







there's more places to sleep than in the living room guys





endica: oh sweet mysteries of life, at last i've found yooooooou



sean is a great addition to the family. he's more helpful than jasper because his personality is nice.



he also keeps jasreen's garden going. i'm pretty sure he has all gold talent badges so he's useful here and at bakelite shop.



rufus visits, but he's still technically run away, which i don't understand. he just kind of lingered and then stayed on the lot but the game still counts him as run away.



primadonna: what a lovely painting and not the naked body of my lover




pregnant woohoo is best woohoo. especially when i'm feeling content with four to six babies at a time



the bugs came back and got so bad we had to hire an exterminator. luckily they were able to fix the problems before EVERYONE got the flu.





i just love the toddlers use stairs mod. it's so funny looking at them walk down the stairs when they can't walk at all yet.



sabrina is a fussy baby who cries for no reason. bigfoot children be wild.



second pop! baby number four is on the way



baby grow up time! this is gold and silver, i believe gold is the one with the headband.



sabrina also has a birthday!



as does iron! we got some REALLY cute kids this time around.



sean is a good dad. god knows where peter williams is or what the fuck he's doing



jasreen:
OOGA BOOGA BOOGA

sean: you scare sean. sean punch ghost woman



silver: i am getting a good mark in bigfoot love, a want that is normal and capable of being achieved.



POP POP

i'm worried about this fucker having quads or some shit



what a great sight for a child to see

gold: i want to play under the covers too!



even primadonna is helping out and she isn't related to any of these children. i guess she's like a step parent to zircon? i would imagine it differs from polycule to polycule



everyone neglects iron so she passed out in the hot desert sun



potty training face!! i haven't caught one of these in a while.



gold: woman i must go hastily to the potty!

quartz: learning to walk is more important

quartz:

quartz:
also how are you talking



we end with quartz putting silver down for a nap. this gen has been pretty smooth sailing, at least it will be like that until zircon's next baby comes.

kind of sad none of the kids got red hair? like they all got endica's brown hair for some weird reason. and sabrina got peter williams's hair color.

that;s it for now! this update is very old pictures-wise, so it was more difficult to caption than usual. i probably took these pictures in early 2023 so they've been waiting a while. i may end up doing a poll for heir this gen since everyone looks very similar, unless someone starts to stand out to me.

I am SO hyped to see the Bakelites back! I had to reread the whole thing again even though I did a few months ago because my short term memory is balls and it just keeps spiraling deeper and deeper into insanity and it's fantastic. Sean is the real MVP here, picking up the slack when everyone else is busy fighting or making more babies lol. How the heck did Sabrina end up teal? although I have no idea what kind of genetics Bigfeet pass down, now that I think about it. I need to get Bigfoot Romance too once I set up a vacation hood. Also, I love that the penguin made an appearance mid-fight and just noped right out of there 😂

eeek i was reading the bakelite legacy when you posted this update!!

i miss jasreen already :c i love how her forbidden romance with opal kept her around for generations though, and how potent her genes are! i also laugh at peter williams everytime he pops up cause he's just. there. randomly resurrected into the house. sabrina is so pretty though, but i am definitely alien-biased.

I am sad I missed this when you first posted it.
I love Zircon's cute fourth wall breaking face (honestly he does it so often it's slightly concerning)
Quartz is still my favorite but also Sean! if only we all had a Sean.
You're getting so far. 8 gens down! I'm glad to see you still posting them but agree it devolves further into insanity everytime and I love it.

edit to add I just read the last entry and I enjoyed it too! did you ever share Quartz's adult hair? I still love it. so probably stupid question because I am a turnip who has never sent my sims on vacation, if you use clean neighborhood templates for the Bon Voyage hoods you won't be able to meet Bigfoot? :(

thanks for checking! I did find the mesh (leahlilith kei) but your colors always make me happy. no worries either way.

damn I guess my sims need to head out on a basic maxis hood vacation so I can try to meet bigfoot too.
