Chapter 8 of my Sims 2 Royal Kingdom Challenge. A long overdue next chapter, which will serve as a sort of recap. I hope no one gets too lost.

1. The Kingdom of
Celestia
Chapter 8

2. Michelle so I saw a note in your signature today and it said
you thought your himself might be a YA. Guess what you
were. Nice try getting out of hanging out in my game.
Should I be worried?

3. Um? I have no idea. So here’s the thing. I saw you commented
on Celestia the other day and then I realized I wanted to try to get
back into the hood. Problem is I haven’t loaded up the hood in
over a year so I’ve got a crap ton of pics and I don’t remember at
all what happened.

4. “I hate playing ahead and not writing as I go too.”
“Yeah I know. Hey I actually recognize this pic. That’s Luke
McCarthy…the toddler I mean. What’s his mother’s name
again…uh…you don’t know do you?”
“Seriously? Of course not.”

5. Oh yeah it’s Lyanna, yeah she was a Peters..she’s
Vanessa’s daughter. Thanks for reminding me.”
Michelle’s simself: “….”

6. This is Luke as a baby I do believe. Sorry this is going to be
all out of order, but that’s not going to be a problem for you
I’m sure.”
Michelle: “Wait what’s going on?”

7. From what I do remember Lyanna and
George are a lovely couple. A nice quiet
little family.

8. Okay so this is one of the Hashmi noblewomen I know that
much. She’s part of the whole scandal that family’s got going
on right now. The heir doesn’t have a son, and isn’t the best
liked. His younger brother has a son and is way more popular
with the people. Hopefully that’s gonna pan itself out.

9. I do know the red headed one is the one with the son,
married to the younger brother. Mary there is married to the
current heir and has no son, just popped out daughters…but
she’s pregnant again right now.

10. Michelle: “You really need to work on remembering names or
at least take notes.”
“I did take notes, but honestly it was over a year ago and I
have no idea where I’ve put them.”

11. “No idea some random boy…probably an heir to someone’s
house. Moving on.”
Michelle: “You’re moving me in to this hood aren’t you?”
Of course. Wasn’t that obvious right away?

12. “That’s Lord Hashmi the dude with no son yet. I think. Or is
he the younger brother with the son. I honestly don’t
remember.”
Michelle: “I am in so much trouble.”

13. Oh wait I know this one. That’s Isabella Shahan, she’s
a teenager now. Actually all of Catherine’s girls are
teens currently.
Michelle: “You don’t play favorites at all do you?”
Shut-up.

14. Mistress Sims here is doing just peachy
transplanted all the way from Avonlea. I
really miss all my old simmies.

15. Oh this was before Fanny had aged up and that’s her brother
crap what the hell did I name him again? Man I really wish I
had my notes. Oh well you’ll figure it out.
No wait that’s right that’s Prince Ryker and heir to the throne.
Silly me.

16. Oh yeah I do think the long haired Hashmi is the spare and
it’s Pranshu there that’s the heir and he doesn’t have a son
yet. The boy’s name is Manomay, yeah that was it.

17. Michelle: I am so confused.

18. See here’s proof the triplet girls did grow up into
teens. I think one of those is Fanny and the
other is Anne. Don’t quote me on that though.

19. Is that Manomay? I don’t know. Anyway
that’s the son of Catherine and Peter and
heir to this whole place. The green one.

20. What else is going on in the kingdom right
now. Oh yeah Vanessa here is still in a
crummy marriage, poor thing.

21. Isabella took up basket
weaving apparently.

22. Okay, I have a lot of pictures of the Shahan/Sims house.
Yeah yeah I know I play favorites, as well as having
many other faults as a simmer. Let’s just move on.

23. Oh yes this little scandal. So you remember Marcus Nugen? The spare to the Nugen
peasant family? The one that didn’t get married. Turns out he had a little fling with a
city guard Agnes and well she had a kid. It’s a boy. His name is James Glenham.
Michelle: “It’s a miracle you actually remembered something!”
Michelle your himself is a bit rude. :)

24. Agnes just got her own place, and is gonna
rough it on her own. Marcus isn’t exactly
the helping a girl out type.

25. Ah yes Princess Kaya got married to Lord Eglisfielde one of
your underlings in the Moon Islands.
“My underlings?”
Yeah I’m making you Duchess of the Moon Islands. What
you didn’t think I wouldn’t give you privileges did you?

26. So here’s Adam and their little girl.
I’m sure you’ll see them around a lot.

27. They’ve got a lovely pool which I’m sure
they will love to let you hang out in.
Michelle: “..”

28. Don’t worry Adam is an excellent fighter so I’m sure he can
help you keep order in the Islands if you need too.
Michelle: “If he doesn’t can I smite him?”
Uh I’ll get back to you on that.

29. Isn’t their house lovely? I think
I downloaded it from MTS.

30. The Princess holds regular
galas for nobles to party at.

31. Ah yes this lovely Noble family. I can’t stop
breeding this family, but these kids have such
interesting/adorable genetics in my opinion.

32. Plus, what is this townies name again? I rarely
marry her in or play her. I’m drawing such a blank.
Anyway, her pregnancies have been a breeze.

33. They currently have 3 daughters, but they are expecting
again. There are a lot of Noble girls this generation. Not
helping with the population control guys.

34. This family is just so gosh dang adorable! If
you’re ever in Celestia properly you should stop
by this house. Peasant or not they’re great.

35. See how cute this kid is? Just look at her!

36. Oh and I caught Ruth swinging on an ice box door. What
would your Grandmother Ruby say? Heee. And see, see the
Noble girls are soooooooooo cute.
Michelle: Breathe Mystery. Just breathe.

38. Gilbert Nugen the heir to my other peasant family is a teen
now too. He’s currently hanging around with a shopkeeper’s
daughter. We’ll see where that leads soon enough I guess.

39. Wishing well matched them up, with Amy Jones though as
they can’t afford the matchmaker services directly, but
Gilbert seems to be keeping his options open as I also
think he has a crush on Isabella too..

40. Kimmie’s still around and runs her flower
shop. If you need snapdragons her shop’s
the place to stop.

41. Catherine gets around the kingdom a lot. You’ll
probably see her in your welcome wagon even
though you live in another land. She’s magic.

42. Oh yes these guys had a bit of a late
addition. A little girl named Alexandria
Stupid ACR and surprise pregnancies.

43. Michelle: Hey at least it was just one.
True

44. Over at the Lampright Estate things are going pretty
well. These poor kids have smashed up faces, Story’s
is particularly rough but I still love them.

45. They still invite over their neighbor’s tenant David
Gordon for Mahjong every now and then. He and
Lord Thomas actually get along really well.

46. I belive that’s Manomay and Ruth again.
Ruth is my resident gossip Ruby’s grand
daughter.

47. This Ruby Coldwell. Not Ruby that’s the
daughter of the peasant fisherman that
runs the fisher’s market David.

48. Her son Noah is a nice enough fellow, it’s
just you gotta watch out for his mom. She’s
a little nuts. (as in a lot crazy)

49. Here’s a front view of Ruth. She’s quite
pretty. She has a little sister too Esther. Or
is she Esther and the toddler is Ruth…I
forget.

50. Either way, the heir to the Coldwell
family is definitely named Paul.

51. Leo and his daughter-in-law get along.
She’s a brave woman to live in a house
with Ruby…I love her.

52. Wait no the shopkeeper’s daughter Gilbert is seeing is Ruby Gordon.
Duh the wishing well matched them. Well it tossed him out when Ruby
used it I mean. Obviously tossed out Amy in Gilbert’s case.
Michelle: Couldn’t you go back and change the earlier slide.
Yeah, but I’m too lazy.

53. Gordon’s little fish shop is still not doing
very well. I’ve even expanded it to a full
market, but yeah it’s still like rank 3.

54. David’s heir Archie is now a
child.

55. I think Armando Nugen is trying to win
favors to get his grandson married off to
the Gordon spare.

56. Ruby certainly is a nice
catch I’ll admit.

57. Do you remember how I said genetics were
not kind to the Lampright ladies….well look
at this one. Yeah…

58. Spare lord Lampright now oversees a small set
of lands for his older brother. One of the Noble
spares moved in here and help work the lands.

59. The little Noble lass isn’t doing much better
than the proper lady living in residence
though.

60. I think it’s quite a nice little place
for them to live don’t you?

61. Finally here’s the crown
Princess Beatrice.

62. The heir to the throne’s just turned into a
teen, but I don’t have a teen pic of him
apparently.

63. Oh and Lord Yasutora is a child now too.
He’s Lord apparent of the third noble house
of Celestia the Chen’s.

64. I think that about catches you up on everything. Hopefully
you’re not too too lost. *puppy eyes*
Michelle: “Yeah, no of course I’m not.”
Great!

65. See everyone next time!
Huge thank-you to Michelle for letting me borrow your simself
and abuse her for a recap, and for your support of my stories.
