Rocca Legacy 4.4
Before I start this update, I want to put a little note here, because things are a little different this chapter. Usually I try to keep everyone happy and give them what they want and take good care of them, but not this time.
So here's what happened. I was really put off by how Irene grew up. I just don't think she's very pretty. I adore Miko and think she's gorgeous, and Elias isn't that bad looking either, but their genetics just didn't combine very well. It's mainly her lips that I dislike.
Anyway, I took a brief break from this family and played other saves for awhile, and to be completely honest, I did this partially because of how Irene looks. When I came back to the family, I was impatient and annoyed with everyone except Irene. Each and every one of these guys was getting on my nerves, even Miko, who was a favorite Sim (and I liked her more than I liked Elias, even though she is a premade instead of one born into the family).
I was sick of everyone getting bored moodlets for not having club gatherings, so the family club is no more. I took away the quake zone trait, because I was sick of them being woken at night. I sold all of the objects that they obsessed over or that I didn't like. But that wasn't all. I was just annoyed with having so many Sims in the house.
And that meant it was time for some changes. And changes we got. So things may get a little uglier here, but I promise, the legacy itself survives, and I got over my annoyance and started to have fun again.
So here goes.
We open with an image of Irene being dramatic from a teenage angst mood swing.
Irene: It's not teenage angst! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
Case in point.
Irene: AARRRGGGGHHHH
Irene: This homework is so terrible, could this BE any WORSE?!
Sheesh. I feel bad for the rest of her family having to deal with that.
After she finishes her homework, Irene goes to eat and watch some TV to unwind.
And she watches it like this.
Elias: So, I'm pretty sure I'm the cause of that mood swing.
Sure looks that way buddy.
I have to admit, I have been loving his expressions lately.
Glitch #1 of the update here, with Miko and Clyde attempting to take a picture together.
Lol?
Oh no, Miko! Are you feeling sick? Do you think you had some bad food? Ha ha, of course not, this is a legacy! We all know what this means.
Miko: Just hanging out in the nursey, for no particular reason.
Miko: Completely unrelated, but I'm having another baby!
Cosmos: Another child I'll only be marginally related to!
Let's follow Miko out and watch how this little annoucement goes. As you can possibly tell from the side of Elias's face, he's already in a sour mood.
Miko: Hey, Elias, guess what!
Elias: Miko, my garden is infested with bugs, this really isn't a good time to try and play guessing --
Miko: I'm pregnant!!!
Elias: Miko.
Elias: Miko, darling, you know I love you, but please no jokes right now. We're too old to conceive anyway, so just stop.
Miko: Um, no, are you living in 2004? I can get pregnant right up until I turn old!
Elias: What? Another baby? For real?!
Elias: Maybe this one will be better looking.
Elias! So mean.
Elias: Like you don't agree.
I mean... you're not wrong. You're not wrong.
Everyone gets together to help Irene work on her school projects. I have to say, I really like the stuff that was added in Parenthood.
And... and... I missed another birthday. I am so sorry, Clyde.
Clyde: It's fine... I'm a spare, I know how this works.
I'm so sorry :(
Miko: Irene, honey, you're going to be a big sister!
Irene: What!
Irene: I thought I was going to be an only child! Besides, aren't you too old to have a kid?!
Miko: Why does everyone think this? No, I'm not too old. And you were supposed to be an only child, but things happen.
-shifty eyes-
Glitch #2: Miko was so attached to these plates that she climbed into bed with them.
Her arm kept flicking back and forth between these two positions. I don't even know.
Parental panic, so this can only mean one thing.
Miko: I didn't even get to finish my lunch.
And here we are with cousin Pauline, now a GHOST, to deliver the baby.
Elias: We will be just fine.
This isn't any too comforting, honestly. Is this entire place staffed by ghosts?
Miko: Why can they even come out during the day? Why are they working here? Do they need paychecks? Where do they live? I don't understand anything.
You're not alone there, Miko.
But here goes. Not like we have a choice!
Elias: A distant cousin is delivering my child! This place needs to lose joint commission certification!
But in the end, a healthy baby boy is born!
His name is Keenan.
Wow, Miko, time to get old already?
Miko: Shut up.
I guess this is why everyone thought you were too old to have a baby.
Miko: Stop talking!
Miko: Okay, everyone, NOW I'm too old to have a baby. Also? My back hurts.
Everyone: Yay, no more babies!
Miko: You're all terrible.
Elias looks awfully happy there, considering the fact he's next.
And by next, I mean he gets to blow the candles out immediately after Miko.

Elias: Here I am in my old age... time to watch the children grow up!
So, it's time for another brief little note. As I mentioned before, I was getting really annoyed with everyone, I felt like there were just too many Sims in the household, so it was time to thin the ranks a little bit. Elias and Miko, being the oldest, seemed like the ones to start with. The plan was for them to woohoo one another to death.
But death is cruel, and so...
...my beautiful Miko...
...didn't...
...make it...
...but Elias did. Elias did.
See that look on his face? That's because HE KNOWS! He knows how narrowly he escaped death. He. Freaking. Knows.
Elias: You'll have to try harder than that to kill me.
But some deaths aren't too hard at all.
Elias: Here we are, a plate of delicious pufferfish nigiri. Well, maybe it's not so delicious, I'm not sure. I'm not about to try this.
Cosmos: I have to eat this?
...
Cosmos: Really? You're going to do this to me?
...
Cosmos: You're going to kill me. Wow.
This was hard to do, because I like Cosmos. But I had to do something to this household, because all of these Sims were driving me insane.
Elias: Oh no!
Oh, like you don't know what happened here.
And... that's the end for Cosmos. My first alien in this game. I'm sorry buddy, you truly did deserve better. Rest in peace :(
And that's all for this update! See you in the next one!
