Some of you might remember my undocumented Ycagel legacy. Well, I can now sadly announce that that legacy is no more. :( The neighbourhood where it was (Veronaville) is completely glitched, and I don't have the time or the patience to fix what's wrong with it (for now...). So I decided to start a new undocumented legacy, in a new neighbourhood (Little Miss Muffet's, the neighbourhood my sister created for her BC).

My founder was no less than the anti-Electra. "The anti-Electra?" you ask. Yes. Where Electra had brown hair, custom green eyes and Maxis skin #1, my founder had blonde hair, Maxis light blue eyes and a custom dark skin. Where Electra had a personality of 3/1/9/6/10, my founder had a personality of 7/9/1/4/0. Where Electra was a Knowledge sim, my founder was Romance. That's right...one was Electra Random, the other Artcele Modnar. As different as night and day.

I soon decided that I would name all the sims born into this new legacy after fictional characters that died young and tragically. Which soon proved ironic, as I'll tell you in a while.
But as I was saying, it all started with Artcele. After living in her lot for a couple of days, doing boring founder stuff, she met a downtownie guy who was interesting looking. I thought it was about time for her to start trying for a possible heir, so, thanks to the wonders of ACR, she soon became pregnant. By the time she popped into her third trimester, I decided she and her downtownie lover should get married. So Pedro Lagarto moved in and became Pedro Modnar.

Their son was born shortly after the wedding, and he was named L, after the Death Note character. He soon grew up into a toddler, and I realized he looked almost nothing like Artcele - he only got her skintone. He was cute, though.

While all this wastaking place, I had an idea that later proved to be fatal. To increase the genetic diversity in the gen 2 kids, Artcele had an affair with Joe Carr and got pregnant with his child - right in front of Pedro, who got furious with her. Poor guy, he really didn't do anything to deserve it.
But Artcele's sins didn't go unpunished. When she was on her third trimester and taking a shower, her little temperature bar got completely red. I made her stop taking a shower and go drink some water to cool down. But she never got there. She collapsed and died. Pedro pleaded for her, but he lost, as he was still furious due to the affair with Joe. So Artcele died along with her unborn child, leaving a toddler L alone with his father.
Pedro raised L the best he could, truth be said. He became a quiet child, that never brought anyone home from school with him, and later a quiet teen, whose main hobby was stargazing.

But Pedro wasn't still alone by now. He had found a new love in the person of a townie we all know, Jan Tellerman.

I felt that the house needed more people and made Pedro and Jan have a child of their own. The baby was a boy named Gage who was born on the night L became a teen. He had his father's brown eyes and his mother's brown hair (yes, Jan's not a natural blonde), and one of the glitchy custom skins I have in my game (the pale one).
A few uneventful days passed, and then one very special day (or should I say night?) came. L was stargazing as always, when he got abducted. I was really happy, seeing that I hadn't had a natural abduction in my game in years.

And to make that night even more exciting, Pedro and Jan decided to try for a baby less than an hour after L got abducted. I could had ended the pregnancy, but I didn't. After all, they had wanted a second child. :) So Jan got pregnant again. At this time, Gage was already a toddler, I think.
The surprises didn't end there, though. The night after that one, L got abducted a second time. Seriously, what are the odds of that happening? I was elated. He was so going to use the dance sphere until he came back pregnant as an adult.
Of course he didn't get pregnant any of those times, as he was still a teen. But I wanted him to be an adult as soon as possible. So, when his half-brother Gage became a child, L went to college, dropped out and returned home. At this time, Jan was still pregnant. Very close to giving birth, but still pregnant.

I had already chosen a spouse for L, someone who had just been made into a custom townie. Her name was Ashley, she was a Knowledge sim just like L, and she was the founder I created for the Round Robin founder poll. ;)

Ashley and L got along well. Very well. Soon, Ashley was pregnant, even before Jan gave birth. Of course that she did end up giving birth that night, to yet another boy who was named Spike. This one had the other glitchy custom skin, brown eyes and black hair. Shortly after his newest half-brother was born, L was abducted via dance sphere. Fast forward three sim days, during which nothing exciting happened, and Ashley went into labour. She had a boy with her (and Artcele's) blonde hair and her green eyes, but with Artcele/L's custom skin. I named him Romeo.
L gave birth 18 hours later, to a baby girl with the alien skin and eyes and brown hair, named Juliet.
And I haven't played much more than that. Sure, Spike is now a child...

Romeo is an absolutely adorable toddler...

And Juliet is an equally precious toddler. But not much more has happened. Gage is almost a teen and I'm waiting for him to grow up so that I can send him to college - I want L and Ashley to have another kid soon. ;)
