Clear, the founder of the Arc-en-Ciel family, passes away at the age of 115 days. Her daughter Pom-Pom, a famous singer, and grandson Carrot, the new heir, are distraught by her death. With Clear gone, Pom-Pom, her husband Blair, and step-daughter Shea remain at the family home to care for the garden. The chapter ends with Carrot and his sisters Venus and Peach heading off to college, passing the family legacy to the new Orange generation. The next chapter will focus on the kids' time in college.

2. Last time we saw very little of the kids because my heiress is a Diva and wants all the
attention on her career as a singer. Anyway, my heir is Carrot for the Orange gen
since he’s the only boy and I wanted to alternate gender heirs…which is why Goji-kun
should have been my heir. I’ve played way too far ahead so now I need to write to catch
up to my in-game play. It’s addicting what can I say? Also Venus is the unofficial
second heir because I really want to do her LTW which she got last chapter but I didn’t
post it. She wants a Private Museum which means she needs to have $20 000 worth of
relics on display. So now this chapter title makes sense. I like tomb raiding as well. But
first we have some business to attend to before Orange gen hits college.

3. See my lovely skulls? I adore gem cutting because you get these beauties from it. Top
row has a Yellow Sapphire, Tanzanite, and two Smoky Quartz skulls. Lower row has
one Ruby, Diamond, Blue Topaz and a Bloodstone skull. Pom-Pom got her 100 carat
diamond after all. Her mommy loves her.

4. Moving did not spawn a new Future Portal so we had to buy one, it didn’t take long for Clear’s
old friend Emit Relevart to show up.
Emit: I was wondering if you were ever coming back to Oasis Landing.
Clear: I wish, but I have grandchildren now. See aren’t they cute?

5. Clear: I’m old now and traveling through time is too much for these old bones. I’d rather
spend my golden years here with my family.
Emit: I understand, your priorities changed. Are any of your kids interested in taking up
your adventures in time and space?
Clear: My daughter isn’t and my sons moved out; but maybe my alien step-daughter
might. She’s the adventurous one.

6. Clear did make a Plumbot though, however since the house is full there was no room for
her creation so it ended up taking over her thumbnail. I couldn’t see Clear to click on her
or anything so the Plumbot had to go. I didn’t take any pics since I was freaking out
over missing my founder but her name was Asha. Perhaps later I’ll have one, when the
house is not full.

7. Ah so this is Bot Mode, thanks Persy. I wanted to know what it was like.
Persimmon: Unknown designation; voice not recognized.
She’s really into the whole Bot thing isn’t she?

8. Then it was birthday time for the pseudo twins. I wish now I had taken more pics of them as kids it
all seems so lacking…*sigh* I blame Pom-Pom and her needy career. I am not doing one of those
open work hour jobs again for future reference…too much gets missed while I make sure they
actually do the jobs.

9. Persy: Yay!! Go Pseudo Twin!! Woo!!
Peach: This is why I hate being a twin, we don’t grow up in synch.

10. Pom-Pom: Oww…
Cherry: Again? Come on sis, you’re supposed to be good at this.
Pom-Pom: Want to help me up or would you rather continue to complain?

11. Pom-Pom: I’m out of here. Nice house brat.
Cherry: Is there a spell to make her not suck?
I don’t think so Cherry…sorry. You do look cute in that uniform though.

12. Venus: Almost there…
I can’t wait, once you complete that Timber Terminator challenge I get my space rock gems!
Venus: So will I actually get to travel sometime soon?
Getting to that. I promise. I’ve thought of a lovely place for you to go with your stepmother, China.
Venus: I can’t wait. I have wanted to get to spend time with my mom, the only one I’ve known.

13. Venus: So this is all you took of me in China? Running pictures?
The hill is eating your foot. That’s something right...okay I fail as a simmer.
Sorry. I will get better pictures after college since you can’t travel from there.

14. Clear: Don’t be so hard on her dear, be thankful that we were even played long
enough for me to get old. She’s not a Sims 3 player.
Venus: I know mom, but I wanted to raid some tombs, discover gems and
metals, maybe even fish…those koi are beautiful.

15. Venus: So tell me about the future mom, is it nice there?
Clear: I’m so happy that you want to carry on for me, and yes it is very beautiful
there.

16. Venus: Maybe if I suck his mind dry he’ll forget where we live…
Yes, we’re home I didn’t take many pictures in China…I forgot. >_< But next time I’ll give Venus
a whole chapter’s worth of travel pics. So what about my official heir Carrot? Well he’s growing up
too and then I can wait for college.

17. Ughh, not there, in the dark with a crappy camera angle! Bad heir!
Peach: Yeah way to stick it to the Camera Lady for ignoring us for mom!
Hey…this is still Red generation, she’s my heiress still.

18. I told you my Red gen heiress demanded all the attention, I am sadly lacking any teen
pics of my next HEIR because of her. But she FINALLY reached level 8 so close…so
very, very close…Pom-Pom is a Star now.

19. Oh look a full moon zombie came out to see Pom-Pom perform for tips. It’s a long road
because she mainly advances through sing-a-grams and gigs the third option of
performing for tips gets badly neglected since I never get a moment’s peace from the pop
ups for sing-a-grams.

20. Blair: Is it finally my turn?
Yes honey…*sniff* My founding couple is finally getting old.
Blair: I still have time left, no worries.

21. Good for you, I don’t even have to change your clothes, you got the grey going on still,
but your hair…that we must fix.
Blair: I can see that, I can still fish right?
Hopefully. Though I don’t know if you can make level 10 before…the end.

22. See that? She’s finally level 9. Pom-Pom is a Superstar now. And I took video of her singing, it’s
huge though. I have it set to record with sound for 75 seconds and after watching them it’s still
blurry even on High Quality, WTF game? Also I don’t know why she suddenly stops near the end,
not my fault. And I suck as a Camera Lady with the jerky moving and shutter click sounds. I was
taking pictures during the recording.

23. Click the pic to play.

24. Way to upstage my heiress’s concert Townie chick with your labour. You
didn’t even boost the concert reviews.
Egyptian Tourist: This is not why I came to Hollywood…

25. Apparently it was a boy, I saw him later when I got another pop up for a sing-a-gram
for her to celebrate his birth. I forget his name, he’s not important.

26. Oh…I knew this was coming, I was watching you like a hawk Clear. At least you got
to see your daughter sing. And those lovely holographic masterpiece paintings will be
forever immortalized.
Clear: I’m ready, I got to see my little girl sing live so I’m happy.

27. Pom-Pom: I was in the middle of a job, what’s so…oh. Mommy!! No!
Clear: Sorry dear, I just couldn’t wait. It was time.

28. Carrot: Grandma no! What will I do without you? I don’t know how to be an heir.
Clear: You’ll be alright Carrot-Top, I have faith in you.
Pom-Pom: Mommy….I wish I had time to call the boys.

29. Blair: Oh Clear!! Don’t leave me!!
Carrot: Personal space has been violated!! He’s so cold and creepy!
Yes, I would move you but you’re kinda stuck half inside Death…and that music my
God, it scared me. I have never had a playable die in Sims 3 before.

30. Shea: Mother-in-law…I’ll take good care of your garden, I promise.
Clear: I know you will Shea. It’s in good hands.

31. Clear Arcenciel, Founder, Time Traveler, wife, mother, grandmother.
Lived: 115 days (five days longer than my set span)
Spouse: Blair Churchill
Children: Pomegranate, Cherry, Goji, Venus
Grandchildren: Persimmon, Peach, Carrot
LTW: Master of the Arts (completed)

32. With that, it’s time for the Orange gen kids to head off to college. Leaving the house in
the care of Pom-Pom, Shea, and Blair. Next chapter is all about college, short and sweet.

33. But first, we need the heir to hurry up since his sisters and Venus are already YA’s. So I
caked him at the one day pop up for his birthday.
Carrot: I miss grandma. She loved birthdays.

34. Carrot: Thanks sis, now I’m deaf.
Peach: No problem little brother. Just doing my sisterly duties.
Venus: Yay nephew!! Woo!!

35. And of course my heir has to get his limo driver to take him all over campus. The perks
of being a four star celebrity. Anyway, see you next time for a short college chapter.

36. Next time on the Arc-en-Ciel Rainbowcy:
I do hope the video worked for you guys, I have never inserted one into a PowerPoint
before so I don’t even know if Slide Share will convert it right. The video is huge so
don’t expect to see a You Tube link, if I am lucky it won’t matter since uploading takes
FOR-FREAKIN-EVER to You Tube if it’s huge like this one. Okay it’s about 8.42
MEGS, if you call that huge.
