Legacy lot #2 - The life of Gunnel

I think most of you guys know Benjamin, and his abnormaly long nose, but I doubt that many of you know, that he's in fact a very rich im, living very humble in a little hut that fits perfectly for a single-sim, and maybe one to share it with. He had long lived this undesturbed life for himself unwilling to let anyone in on his privat life. That is why he never talks about his life. But one day, the day he met Gunnel it was all going to change. For many years he had just admired her from the distance an occationally talked to this wonderful lady, trying to figure out what to tell, and how to tell.
Gunnel had just moved out, and in with her adopted sister and 3 older brothers, to get a good start in adulthood, and he wasn't too sure, if she was ready for commitment of any kind, but he guessed, that if he didn't try he would loose his chance with her. Therefore he took the chance to "forget" his wallet by "accident" one day he visited them, and convenient enough he had "forgotten" it on Gunnels desk, so that the others living in that house wouldn't find it.
Sure enough, a few days later Gunnel showed up on his address, with the wallet. That way he was able to show her how he lived (and she had had the chance to see his well hidden welth, he wasn't stupid, he knew she was in for money)
Days fly by... well, not that many days actually, and one dy he couldn't surpress his feelings for her. He simply had to tell her, in a most direct way...

...with a kiss... The kiss felt good and made Gunnel realize she was actually in love with this strange man. If not for anything else, then for his money...

But in one or the other way, he was a great kisser, and when he fell on his knee, and found a small box. He was proposing to her. How could he mean for her to decide so soon? They were only getting to know each other. How was she supposed to decide?

But alas, the money was a little more important for her, than if she thought they would have a good life with a man that she loved truely. But maybe he was the one. How could she know for sure by now? She took the chance... Because of the money. And not risking to loose the money, and he, because he didn't want to change her mind they god married emediately. No party, and no witnesses, just them two making their wows in front of his house.

Eventhough it seemed as though it was nothing but money from Gunnels perspective, she was willing to go further than just kissing, though it was great. And well, their entire wedding day was spend in bed.

And it was soon obvious what they had been doing in the bed that day. Gunnel was pregnant.

A family portrait we close with. Doesn't they look happy? Don't you think they'll last even though it was a fast wedding?

Well, till next time :-)

Sattelite #1 changes - 3

And finally, after almost a moth (only a few hours from one month) I think it's time for the last part of "Changes" :-P Can't really do anything about RL taking up my time...

When we last saw the family there was a wedding party, and it's still going on (Wow, a party lasting that long, that has to be a great party) Now, let's see how it goes...

It wasn't the entire family, who were able to get to the party, but those who came were there on behalf of them all. The guests were(left to right): Rocko, Frode, Gunnel... (You should really think they were twins- the boys. The exact same posture on this pick)

Odd and Lauren(Odd resembles his mother more)


The rest of the party was a lot of toasting... and toasts... and toasts... and... Just until I got tired of them standing there all the time, banging on their glasses, making the happy couple kiss and deleted the bottle, so they could party, dance, and play, whatever they wanted...

"When is our drive coming? I ordered a black limo two hours ago. I want to go now... Oh, wait. The limo has just arrived. Thanks for the fast service"

And as you can see on the pretty blue-glowing balloons it was a good party, but not just any good party. It was the best of the best; A Roof Raiser. The first roof raiser I've had in a very long time. I think we have found the one who can take Victors place, when he' gone (well, he already is, but I haven't updated that blog yet)

Shortly after the honeymoon Klara started to show "Uhm honey, I have something to tell" "I think I can see what it is..."

Quick jump forward, as there wasn't any exiting events until the birth (except maybe Phenix had a small makeover - including a beard) "Ok, honey, Remember the breathing. I have to breath. Just take it easy. I'm still breathing..."

"Is a baby supposed to do this? Call a doctor. This one's not right. Quick get some help from somewhere. Anywhere"

Despite of some difficulties, they were able to save this little youngster. The newest child to the Ingenpenge family. Say hello to Jacqueline...

That's where I made it to the last time I played that part of the family. I hope you enjoyed it :-)

Sattelite #1 changes - 2

Well, what happens, when the reaper shows up, and an important person in ones life is getting picked up? Won't you plead with death to make it not happen? At least that was what Klara's date was thinking...

"Please, don't take her away from me. She's my life, my everything... And I thing she has some plans for us, so please don't take my Klara away from me!"

".o0OHow I hate those darn death after wohoo-thingies. If they could only keep an eye on the meters before entering the bed!O0o. ... Oh, all right then. Get up..."

"If you pick the hand, where your beloved's soul is hiding, then she can live. If not, she's mine... I think she could make a great hula girl of mine"

"Oh, uhm, what han to pick? It could be the left, but then again, that might be wrong. But if left is wrong, then it must be right. On the other hand. I havn't been so lucky with the right hand lately. And who's left or right will it be... Mine or death's... Ooooh so confusing... now, I'm just going to pick with my eyes closed... Maybe I could even feel her... I'll have to try now... I pick.... THAT hand."

"Are you sure? It could be the wrong one!"

"yes, I'm sure!"

"If it's the wrong answer you'll loose everything. If it's the right you might win love for life, so if you'r the least in doubt, it's now or never!"

"Do you have to do that "who wants to be a milionaire" now? But yes. I think I can feel her. Heck no. I KNOW I can feel her!"

"As you wish. She's yours"

"I knew it, I knew it! She was in the right hand. I knew I could feel her. I just new! Go Phenix! Go Phenix! You're a real looser, death... Lo-hoo se-herr... Now get you of my way, so I can enjoy my sweetheart getting to life again!"

"As you wish. I'll just look at my list to know when and where I'll have to turn up again."

"Woah, what an exiting experience, and I had a vision, where it became clear, that I have to get new underwear!" (simmers note: Don't worry, the first thing I did afterward was going out buying new clothes...)

(simmers notes:

1) This is the first time ever, I was trying this thing out... and it's my first un-planned death ever, well exept maybe "death by old age", that you don't really know when comes, and always crawl up behind you, like a thief in the night. I knew, that her bars was low in hunger, but I didn't know that a little wohoo would make it drop below zero, leaving her to die afterwords.
2)Klaras date, Phenix wasn't controlable but I didn't want to loose Klara, as I have plans for these two, or at least for Klara, to bring Laureen some grandbabies, so I used testing cheats, and made him selectable. Unfortunately some error orrured, and Klara disappeared after the rescue, so next part of the story takes part in "take 2", but will be continued from "take 1"

Simmers notes, End)

Next day

What an experimence, I'm sorry, that I didn't pay too much attention to your needs, Klara. It won't happen again. (at least not the next couple of days)

"You could say so. I don't want to experience that again in the nearer future... Hey what was that thing you mumbled about in the end?"

Oh, Uhm, nothing, really. Honestly. I didn't mumble anything(exept, perhaps*mumblemumble*)

"There you did it again. Would you please stop that?"

I can't promise, but let's get on with the story...

"Well, next day, as you might imagine I was so thankful to Phenix, that I wanted to make up for it with another date, witch was great. I even asked him to marry me... well after a little wohoo in the car, that in mysterious ways disapeared afterwards"

*mumbleIwonderwhymumble*

"Could you stop that!"

"I was so exited to hear his answer, that I ignored that phonecall. It could have been important. It could have been my work calling that I had been promoted, which would have brought some more money into my pocket!"

"He accepted. Imagine how happy I was. My saviour would marry me."

"Hell yeah I would. Could you imagine how it would be, to loose someone you have done so much for?!"

"Anyway... soon after I started to feel some noisia. I thought that it was because of the changes. That I was going to marry in short time. We decided, that the wedding should be as fast as possible, because of what happened earlier... the incident with death and stuff..."

*mumbleyouwishmumble*

"Quit it!"

"Well. I called to invite my family for this special wedding party, but with such a short notice it wasn't everyone who could come..."

"We made sure that the weddind was placed with the view to my happy childhood home... The home where I finally found, that I could trust adults... and uhm, don't mind the girl in the flowered dress. She just happened to pass by, at the moment we were making our vows."

... to be continued...

Sattelite #1 changes - 1

Welcome back, it has been a long wait for this episode, but it's here now. Enjoy :-D

Well this one will be about changes. Not only the boys are going to the university, but there will be changes in other ways too.

Just before the boys whent to college they had the chance to talk it over with the friends, and make the last homeworks for their last day at school. Don't ask me who's talking about the inheritence, but I think it's Rocko...

"You know, we had a great inheritance from our fathers death. I know what I'm going to spend it on, as soon I get to college... Some of the plans include you, if you go with us. Would you come?"

Yap! That's him... never letting a chance pass does he ;-)

Then there's Gunnel, the "in theory" youngest one of them. She seems to have found her happiness with this person... Benjamin Long... Looks like Klara might be a little jealoux...

"To think, that Gunnel should find her very true love even before I did. I'm the oldes, It should have been me who had found my true love first"

Sorry, but it couldn't be that way. Don't worry, we'll find yours, he just hasn't shown up yet, that's all...

Before changing too much we have a pick of the household, after everyone had gone, except for Klara, that decided, that this was her home now. She wouldn't leave it after the changes she had done. Besides, it was the house next door to her parents, so a visit wouldn't be that far away.

Then one day, after she had become alone in the house and it all seemed so quiet, he came by. The new townie. He had moved there from a whole different part of world and didn't know any. Klara agreed, that he could call her, if he had any troubles, or if he wanted someone to talk to. Well, if he needed a friend.

"Kickybag is a fun game. Couldn't we do it more often?""Well, only if she let us. But I think it's a great way to make us friends fast, so yes, I hope she'll let us"

I don' know about that... But since you don't have a chessboard yet, then it'll be ok... As long as you don't leave any invisible bags lying around! As you can see, they get along pretty well.

"You know, money are great. They can do lots of things. Really, they can make you friends, and they can get things, that can make you get friends. I love money. Can't you find a way for me to make money to get me friends?" "Uhm, I don't know. I do love moey myself, but I don't really want to spend them. It's enough to have them, and the bare necessities, like paintings, sculptures, 2 bathrooms..."

Uhm, I don't think that's all that nesecary, that's why you don't have any culptures, and only very few paintings..

"Mind your own business, they are improtant!"

Well, If you say so, but you're still not getting them! But what is happening here... It looks like there's happened something...

"It's a pleasure to know this friend. He really is something, and he sais he loves money. Can I keep him?"

Well we'll see. But you have to let him go now. I think he has something important to do at home

"I didn't think townies had any homes?!? So how could he have something importaint to do at home?"

You got me. You have omething important to do... You have to get ready for your job, and to get the next promotion

"Ok then, but promis me, that I'll get him later!"

If it couldn't be any diferent

"Thanks"

_________

Time passes(And a transfer to a new computer) and other changes has to be done. After the transfer I no longer had the glases(blinked blue all the time, just to get mad looking at) or the makeup she was wearing. Klara chose, that she wanted to start wearing contakts, as she thought that would help her even further. Not just with the promotions, but also getting her man

"You know, I realy think he's the man of my life. I can feel it with my bones. Do you think he will be able to resist me now?"

No you look just adorable. You don't have to be nervous

"I can't help but be. This is my first date ever"

Dont' worry. Just let me control, and nothing will go wrong. Trust me

Well, uhm... things didn't go as planned... I forgot to take control... and uhm... Klara forgot to eat, as wohooing was more fun...

............................... what happens next..............

Satelite #1 - 5 moving out

Oh you here for the next one, then I'll better tell a bit.

As you see on the pic below there's 5 inhabitants in the household when we last left the family, and that haven't changed, but will. Soon the boys will head off to college, and be gone from this house for good, and Gunnel will find a mate she just can't live without and so on, but I won't tell too much for now. Just enjoy the pics and what story may belong to them.

Well the family that's moved out this far. The satelite home, the primare one I have. It's quite crowded in that small house, so let's see what happens now.

Well we can tell so much, that Frode really loves to dance to his bigger sisters pianoplay, and that he's great at dancing. That's a cha cha schoolarship for him to bring to college, including all the others he's gained juring the time he's been training for them.

And uhm, Gunnel thinks she has found the love of her life. Unfortunately hes destined for another sim, and he's a romance on top of it. But she did find her true love, and has now moved in with him on another lot (Controlers note: sorry all the interaction was taking place by phone/on anoter lot, where I moved her in by letting her marry him, so no moving out pic)

A rare sight. All three of the boys are doing their homework at the same time, and I think maybe, that Gunnel is saying goodbye to them, or so, as she moves onto Benjamin Longs place, and taking his surname. (Controllers note: well, it must be hello, actually, while she didn't "find own place", but for the story)

After making homework Rocko meets "miss Paperdelivery" and makes a good friend with her, plus she's falling madly in love with him. But no new mate for him before college. No time for it, now you go study one of your skills for another schoolarship!

Getting home from school one day Odd realize that his father's dead. "Why didn't they tell me before, that it was his time. He was one of my best friends. Why didn't he tell that he wasn't ok!?" I'm sorry Odd, but look at the bright side of it. He died of old age, and you got an inheritance.

"An inharitance, I guess that's ok, But I still miss him though. Can't we bring him back to live?" No we can't, cause then I'll miss the platinum urn he left me. "You evil, selfish ***! I WANT MY DAD BACK!" Sorry, but no. Sooner or later you had to let him go. "Better later than sooner" Sorry, but that wasn't ment to be. And now, just let us leave it (Controllers note: he really couldn't take the death Victor. On the way into the house after getting home from school he broke down 2! tomes in that short walk. Quite annoying, If I should say so...)

"Is that the new Heir in there?" "How should I know. I really hope so. I hope it's a boy, so he can carry on the line. I'm really looking forward to finally know. Maybe it will even be twins." "Yeah, that would be great"

"He did it, he did it" "Wha.. What? No I did do nothing. Oh you tricker! you got me this time. Just waittil I can et you back again!" "What? It's me hwo pay back now, you always noodged(sp?) me, when I was child" "If you say so."

That's it for this time. I hope to see you all again next time I find time to post new pics (Drats, I can only post 9 pics this way, I had hoped it was 10, oh well, then it's not untill next update we'll "see"(hear about it, don't have any pics of it) the boys going off for college)

Sattelite #1 - 4

Welcome back to a new little episode of Klara and the boys

What have been going on in the house since they moved away from home. Well mostly time has been standing still, and they haven't grown older since the day they moved out. They (Klara) have been working on the money issue, and of cause (especially) Odd has painted a lot of paintings in order to sell them. That was until he and the two others heard about the different possibilities to get scholarships. From that day they spend making homework for that A+ scholarship, and of cause when they had made them it was all of the other skills. (controllers note: Why do I keep switching around on a and e, it makes no sense, most often I notice before I send it, and corrects it, but it's so annoying, don't mind the misspells...) Off cause when I let them have spare time they tried everything to make their aspirationmeter go up, especially Rocko, as you see.

Meadow, who played hard to get the first time Rocko tried to kiss/flirt with her couldn't resist him talking about the romantic moonlight it was, and he got her hooked. His 2nd make out victim (If I remember correctly).

It didn't last long before Odd made her his best friend. That was all he aspired. That was all he wanted, a good friend. He had never really had any friends outside the family, but was starting to realize, that he had to have lots of friends, if he wanted to be able to throw a lot of wild parties when at university. But most important he didn't just want to be popular with his friends. He wanted to contiue painting and writing, he felt that that was the most important goal of his life.

Even though she had worked very hard, and Odd's paintings were masterpieces there was still no extra money for a repairman to come and fix the tub, so Klara had to try and fix it herself, even if it meant that her nightgown would get wet.

Then came the day when Gunnel decided to move in with the family, and brought an extra 20k really neat, but now as there was an extra person there had to be an expansion of the house. An extra bathroom and bedroom was added, ad the livingroom was expanded, and at the same time the boys were so happy, because after the adding rooms they could still afford some fancy instruments they could play.

Gunnel however still felt that something was missing, and she started her training for the next promotions. She really wanted to earn money. Lots of them, and maybe she would meet her future husband at work (if she hadn't already met him, but didn't know).

Nothing could really stop Rocko as he continued concuring(sp?) his next "victim" the papergirl(forgot her name). He had a crush on her...

... And with a little help from a pillowfight he let her win....

He tried his luck, and was lucky in try one. Now who would be next, we'll see, but I think he will bee too busy from now on to find a new one before he's going to the university.

Ok this was all for this update, hope to see you in next episode of the satelite houses.
