This document provides an update on the color-themed "Hues Legacy" Sims family. It summarizes that the family experienced more deaths as Sky passed away at Lime's teenage birthday party. Lime and Emerald are presented as potential heirs to continue the legacy. The document recaps activities of the family members, such as skill-building, jobs, romance, and dancing. It previews that Haleigh will decide the next heir and direction of the legacy during her turn.

2. Welcome back to another chapter of the color-themed Hues Legacy, a
joint legacy between Haleigh/meadowthayer and me, Roxanne/Taube.
When we left off, little Lime had been sent into aspiration failure by the
death of his grandmother and best friend, Lilly Hues. Luckily, he had a
whole bunch of wants for his daddy so he gets his aspiration raised while
making best friends with Jim, and they both get their inheritance at the
same time.

3. Despite Lilly’s death, the usual legacy
business continues apace. For the
kids, this means
skilling, skilling, skilling. Forest and
Emerald max their skills as kids. Forest
finished just seconds before he ran out
to greet his dad coming home from
work, resulting in this funny picture
where he’s spinning to put on
outerwear while celebrating maxing
cleaning.

4. Now that they’re free from skilling, the twins take turns getting to
know their youngest brother in the playroom. It isn’t long before
everyone is best friends with Lime.

5. Sky used to spend pretty much all day every day with Lilly, so he has
a lot more time on his hands. Instead of relaxing on the bed with
her for most of the day, he starts trying other activities. His
apparent favorite to hang out with is Forest, who plays chess and
horses around outside with him.

6. Sky is still down, though. He keeps rolling generic wants to fall in love or get
married, which break my heart. When he finally rolls a want to get a
puppy, a want that several of the kids have also, I feel like I need to indulge
him. Thus, their puppy was adopted. Her name is Peach and so far she’s just
a white puppy with yellow eyes. I picked her mostly because she had the
best personality without being finicky.

7. Peach is adorable. To eat, she stuffs her whole face in the bowl.

8. Speaking of adorable, young master Lime has maxed his mechanical skill!

9. Oh, hey Lilly. You’re upset. We were pretty upset about your death
too, especially your husband and Lime. Just, y’know, go easy on
them, okay?
“Oh, I wouldn’t count on that.”

10. We’ve got a triple birthday tonight. Lime is turning into a child
and Forest and Emerald are aging into teens. Lime goes first
and then the twins follow.

11. Here’s Lime. He’s definitely got a touch of the family nose, more so
than either of the twins especially, but it’s not nearly as bad as Sky’s
was at this age, so I think Lilly and Jim are having some good
influence on the nose genes. He’s actually quite cute. This will make
it tough for Haleigh and I to decide who should be heir.

12. And here’s the twins.
Emerald, who looked a little funky
as a child, is quite pretty as a
teenager, in my opinion. She
rolled Popularity/Fortune as her
aspiration.
Forest is Pleasure/Knowledge, an
interesting combo and the one
that the founder, Neon, had.

13. I sent Lime to bed immediately after his birthday because he
was exhausted, but I later found him sleeping in his parent’s
bed, thinking x’ed out thoughts of Lilly. Apparently she had
scared him in his bed and he came in here for safety.
Unfortunately, that didn’t work, and even as I watched him, Lilly
scared him again. Rough birthday for the little guy.

14. Later that night. This bodes ill.

15. Sure enough, Lilly starts scaring
the adults too. Rose isn’t in the
pictures because she was too
awake to go back to bed after she
got scared, but when Jim tried to
go back to sleep, he got scared
again. Interestingly, Lilly followed
Sky around for a little bit but never
scared him.

16. And poor, poor Lime. I was a little
worried he might pass out if this kept
up. He couldn’t get five minutes of
sleep at a time without Lilly scaring
him. These pictures all look pretty
similar because it’s the same bed that
he kept going back to. The poor kid is
one day into childhood and has
already seen his grandmother’s ghost
five times.

17. “Oh my god. It’s your mother again. She got me.”
“What’s that sweetie? I’ve got my earbuds in. Can’t hear you.”
Strangely, after this night of terror, Lilly never appeared again
for the rest of the time she was on my computer. I guess she
got it all out of her system in one night.

18. Peach is a good girl. After only one
accident, she quickly picks up that
she’s supposed to pee outside.
She also gets plenty of
interaction from the
family, even if that does mean
being shoved through Emerald’s
face.

19. “Hi! Just a reminder: we’re adorable!”
Yes, yes you two are.

20. Shamrock keeps his little brother company while Lime learns to do
homework. I have the mod where they only get homework
sometimes, but poor Shamrock gets it almost every day. He must goof
off in school a lot.

21. Ooh la la, Forest brought a girl home and wants to make friend with her.
Unfortunately for her, that means taking her to the graveyard and pelting
her with a baseball. Not the friendliest move, Forest, but then you are
quite the meanie. I’m also confused on why they went to the graveyard to
play catch when there’s plenty of space in the front yard. Sims.

22. Forest and Emerald have about six
or seven days to wait around until
Lime grows up at this point, and
they’re all done skilling, so they
have a lot of free time. Emerald
takes to watching movies while
Forest becomes a bit of a pool
shark and Shamrock and Lime
study hard in the background.

23. Idle hands are the sim devil’s
playground or something like
that, so the twins get jobs. Plus
their parents and Sky want them
to be overachievers. Both Forest
and Emerald go into the law
field, starting at the very bottom
as they’re still public school
students. Oh, and nice tie, Forest.
Very stylish. *snicker*

24. When they have time at
home, Forest likes to smustle.
He’s got quite the smustle face.
He’s also got a nasty habit of
glitching through things while
smustling. That cannot be
comfortable. Talk about barking
your shins on the coffee table.

25. Emerald joins in the dancing too. Naturally, they’re both really bad
at first. The stereo is almost always on because I like a little
background music, so there is often someone dancing in front of
it. Meanwhile, despite the distraction, Lime and Shamrock
continue to study hard at the other end of the room. Neither one
of them is particularly fast, and it especially looks like Shamrock is
not poised to finish his skills as a child like the twins did.

26. Emerald takes a shine to their very
cute redheaded paperboy. If this
were a regular legacy and she
stayed on my computer, I would
marry him in in a snap.
Instead, he’s just flirtation
material to keep Emerald’s
aspiration up while we all wait for
Shamrock and Lime to grow up.

27. Um, that’s not good. Rose came home from work invisible. This
happened once to Hieronymus Masterpiece, who was also Captain
Hero at the time. I wonder if it’s a coincidence or related.

28. With Hiery, I forced errors on the entire lot with the batbox until he
reset and reappeared. With Rose, I discovered that there’s actually a
setting on the batbox for restoring invisible sims. Much easier than
pressing ‘reset’ hundreds of times.

29. Rose tries to teach her still-clumsy twins how to dance more
gracefully, but they prefer to dance around spastically still.

30. “Oh my god, please tell me this man is wearing pants. I don’t want to
look down. Don’t look down. Just . . . he must be wearing
pants, right?”
“And that’s why I think you should let my kids into your school.
Uh, Headmaster, are you okay? You look strained.”

31. “Your grandchildren are accepted into our school, but I would like to
advise you that pants AND shirts are required at all school functions.”

32. Poor Emerald. Her meanie
brother gives her constant
noogies, and then as soon as
he’s done, she gets scared
through him by Sinjin.

33. And he cheats at chess! It’s a good thing they’re on good terms
with each other generally, because Forest gives Emerald a lot of
reasons to be mad with him.

34. Gee, guys. Why so glum?
“It’s Saturday and we’re heading downstairs to study. We wanted to
play instead.”
Shouldn’t have been born into a legacy, then.

35. Sky has started a new hobby of smustling in the downstairs
bathroom. Do you know why? Cause I don’t.

36. Shamrock maxes another skill, but he’s definitely not going to
finish by his birthday. Lime isn’t much faster, so they’re both
spending a lot of time on the couch.

37. Forest continues to be Sky’s buddy and
they play a lot of pool. They also find
plenty of time to gossip about such
scintillating topics as Rose getting
married and Lime getting into private
school. Shh! Don’t tell!

38. Peach grew up, and, to my
delight, is actually peach. She
also looks like a Basenji to
me, which I find ridiculously
adorable. Just look at that tail!
Emerald rolls the want for
Peach to learn to come, so she
teaches her the command.

39. Shamrock’s birthday has
come. He still has one and a
half skills to max, but it’s time
to turn teen.

40. Well, like Lime, Shamrock has more of the family nose than the
twins do, but I still find him rather charming. His aspiration is
Family/Popularity. This is a guy that wants close friends and family.

41. Forest is a noogie machine.
Emerald is his usual victim, but he
finds a little time to work
Shamrock in there too. He’s
probably counting down the days
until he can give Lime noogies too.

42. For some reason I really like pictures of all the kids in a family in
their uniforms. I almost always take a shot like this, but this is
definitely one of the better ones I’ve captured. Don’t they look
nice?

43. Forest is ready for his second day of work and is still wearing that
stupid tie. Shamrock got a job in Law too, as it came up on the
computer and I thought it would be cute for all three of them to work
the same job. Because they’re now private school students, Shamrock
starts at the same level as where his older brother and sister currently
are. This makes all three poised to become overachievers tonight.

44. “I got an A+ finally.”
Good job.
“So why’d you take a picture? We all get A+’s. Big deal.”
I usually miss the star but I captured it this time, so I just thought I’d share.
Plus I like taking pictures of Lime, although not as much as Shamrock.

45. Emerald got a chance card and I chose poorly, resulting in her coming
home early with a demotion. So much for being an overachiever tonight.

46. And then she does this, getting cataract-looking, apparently
blood-tinged eyes. I’ve seen lots of eye glitches but not this
particular one before. In my notes for this chapter, this slide
simply says “wtf.”

47. Rose comes out to comfort her
only daughter. They hang out until
the boys come home from work.
Both Shamrock and Forest
return home
overachievers, making their
relatives quite happy. Hopefully
Emerald will join them
eventually.

48. Shamrock and Lime continue to hammer away at their skills.

49. Meanwhile, Sky has single-handedly earned himself 8,000
points by smustling and warming up. Forest keeps rolling
stupid pleasure sim wants so I bought him a bubble blower
which I later sold back because it just doesn’t suit the
wholesome family house. Bubble blowers belong on
campus, but it was the easiest way to get Forest back into gold
aspiration.

50. Forest loves to dance and has gotten
considerably better at it. He also
hulas a lot. Sinjin momentarily deters
him but can’t stop the dancing. Forest
gets up close and personal with an
adult coworker he brought home with
him, although . . . you do know that’s
your aunt, right Forest?
“Oh, ew!”

51. With Forest busy, Sky returns to his bedroom to relax, trying not to
mind the empty space next to him. It’s so sad when one elder dies
long before the other one.

52. After some more work, Emerald is finally an overachiever!

53. Forest brought home a different girl today, and he actually has
great chemistry with her. Unfortunately for them, their date
takes place in the incredibly public living room, in plain sight of
Forest’s parents and younger brothers.

54. With the aid of the thinking cap, Shamrock finally maxes his skills.

55. I was trying to save Forest’s first kiss, but when they
ended the date, they leaned in for a kiss
anyway, negating my efforts. Oh well. At least it was a
dream date and made Forest extremely happy.

56. Sinjin! What the heck are you doing out? It’s like 3 in the
afternoon, even if it is an overcast day. Get back to your tombstone
right now!

57. Rose’s Dance Studio is now accepting townie kids.

58. The final birthday of this generation has come. Lime is ready to
turn teen.

59. However, there’s an unexpected
visitor at the party.
Sky is dying literally at the same
time that Lime is growing up.
This kid cannot catch a break
with his grandparents dying, can
he? Poor guy.

60. “C’mon Sky, it’s time to go.”
“Do I have to? There’s cake!”
“There’s cake in the afterlife too, and Lilly’s waiting to share it with you.”
“Oh, alright. Sorry, Lime.”

61. Here’s Lime after I got him out of that lime-colored vest. He’s quite
cute, actually. He rolls pleasure/romance, making him the second
pleasure sim this generation.

62. Emerald tries to get away from
her grief by inviting her boy toy
over for a date, but she can’t
escape it and breaks down
sobbing after a romantic hug.
Awkward and sad.

63. Since Forest technically had his first kiss, I let Emerald catch up the
proper way. She is able to go on with the date without too much crying.

64. The next day, Shamrock of course
has homework, but so does Forest.
Lime is finishing up his last skill
before I ship him off to Haleigh. Jim
is working. That leaves Emerald and
Rose free for a game of pool.

65. And Lime has finally maxed his last skill, ending my turn.

66. Here’s a family portrait for you. Although they had a rough
start, this family has gotten back to being good-looking again
but can still improve from here.

67. Here’s our two potential heirs, Lime and Emerald. Who will be
chosen? What direction will Haleigh take them on her turn? Will the
eyes continue? Check back next time for more Hues!
As always, thanks for reading and catch up with us at SiMania!
