Chapter 4.4 - Three Babies, Two Birthdays, and a Death

Hello again!

First of all, holy shit. I'm still in awe that I'm on Generation Four of this dysfunctional family. I go back and re-read the old chapters of Peony and Martha being, well, themselves, and back then I never imagined that I would have gotten this far. It blow my mind.

Secondly, this may be the longest title of any chapter of this legacy. If it were any longer it would be a Fall Out Boy song.

Anyways, last time, Chloe aged up in a toddler and Robin continued to be cute AF.

Seeing as the last chapter started with a birthday, here's another one.

The joys of having just one child to deal with.

But just because Robin can only have one child, it doesn't mean that his siblings have to follow the same rule.

More McKracken babies!

"Toolsie, do you wait with the camera to capture the exact moment that turn into Slender!creatures?"

No, of course not >_>

Un-noodleified, Chloe is incredibly cute. She's definitely got Malinda's skin tone, as Robin is slightly darker and less "corpse like". I won't show a photo of Malinda due yet, as the Sims don't start showing off genetics until they reach their teenage years.

I wanted to show off some green in Chloe's room, but not have the lime green everywhere as it can be assaulting on the eyes. In the end, I settled with the same wallpaper that I used for Peony's and Martha's nursery was back in Generation One.

I also want that pirate bed. I NEED that pirate bed.

Robin clearly loves his only child, even if it means smooshing his face into her head.

Yes, Chloe is wearing flip flops in winter.

Who doesn't?

On the same day Chloe aged up, Robin went to work and this little beauty popped up.

Hell yes!

Special Agent branch, biatches!

As a treat, I sent the family out to the park to enjoy the Winter Festival. I've said this before many times, but winter in the Sims 3 is my favourite season purely because of how pretty everything looks.

I mean, LOOK AT IT.

Much fog. Such atmospheric. Wow.

That is the face of an old man who fears that he has slipped a disc in his spine. He's not the young man he once was. 

Candace tried out some ice skating, send out every prayer she can think off that she doesn't slip and end up in A&E.

Robin, being much younger (and also a martial arts champion), had no problems spinning around the ice with ease.

He tried to help Chloe out with her ice skating.

Tried is the key word here.

The Top Ten Anime Betrayals of 2019.

Future A&E casualties, or the next father/daughter interpretative breakdancing duo?

You decide.

Whilst they were breaking it down on the ice (or possibly just breaking bones), Judith had a baby.

Yeah, yet more McKracken babies.

This brings the total of Generation Five babies to four: Chloe, Ricardo, Kelley, and Curt.

Chloe: Father, are you allowed to drive your police car outside of work? Isn't that breaking the law?

Robin: I am the law now.

Indeed.

In reality, they had been invited to a party at the Goth Manor, now in the possession of Vincent and Mortimer.

Sammy is pregnant. Was this taken when she was pregnant with Kelley?

Nope.

This is her third child.

Sammy: Lucas! Lucas, it's happening again!

Sammy: Dafuq?

Damien, being the good father-in-law he is, escorted Sammy to the hospital.

And by that I mean he sat in the passenger seat and let the pregnant lady currently in labour do the driving.

There's no shortage of McKracken babies going round, it seems.

Soon the whole town will be overrun with the McKracken hoard.

Here's the family tree as it stands right now. Lucas and Sammy (still second cousins) have three children together, Judith has one with her much-older boyfriend, and Robin has a child with his now-deceased burglar sort-of girlfriend.

Damien: Can you believe it, sweetheart? Five grandchildren, and counting!

Candace: I wonder is they'll all turn out like Chloe is.

Damien: You mean who she is slowly morphing into my Aunt Martha with her random freak outs?

Candace: Not exactly... But sure.

Damien and Candace were still in love after all this time, but where now both past 90 days old. They were both literally on Death's Door.

Candace: Death's Door, you say? Well, I guess it's time for me to leave.

Candace: Huh, well that was less painful that I imagined.

Candace, no! D:

Candace McKracken, nee Barker, left this moral coil at the ripe age of 90. In her time in the McKracken household, she achieved her Lifetime Wish to become a Creature/Robot Cross Breeder, had accidental triplets, grew a lot of vegetables, and managed to change the front doorbell so it sounds like the entrance to Hell.

She leaves behind her long-time husband Damien, her three children, and her five grandchildren. Not bad for a random townie I rescued from the streets. 

Candace didn't fight her demise. Instead, she just shook hands of with Grim Reaper and dove into her urn, leaving the three remaining members of the family to mourn the loss.

At the exact same time as Candace died, Cayleigh also kicked the bucket.

She got hitched to Parker Langerak before she died, who is much younger than she is.

Now all that is left of Generation Three is Damien, Vincent, and Mortimer.

But life goes on, and soon it was time for Robin's birthday.

Look at the smug bastard. He knows he's going to age up well.

Yep, there you go. He doesn't look any older, even with the beard. It's a shame he's only allowed one child, as those genetics are too good to go to waste.

He also didn't have a midlife crisis, which is unsurprising. He completed his Lifetime Wish a long time ago, and has managed to to produce an heiress for the legacy. His work here is done, even though Chloe isn't due to take over for some time.

And I will leave this chapter with this:

More McKracken babies are on the way!

Another chapter comes to a close, and I have found my stride again. During my much needed break, I've done a lot of writing outside this blog, and played some old video games that I haven't played in a while. A little nostalgia trip, as it were.

See you next time!
