This chapter follows the Collins family's fifth generation. Lincoln and Carmen have four children - quads Charlotte, Emerson, Vivian, and Ned. They later have a daughter named Penny. The quads and Penny all age and develop their skills. Family members pass away over time. The chapter provides backstories and details on each new generation sim based on the TV show Pushing Daisies. It sets up a poll to choose the next heir to continue the legacy.

1. The Collins Legacy Chapter 9

2. Welcome back to the Collins legacy! I hope you enjoy this chapter! This is my favorite generation so far, because they were tons of fun to play. So with that said – lets go to it!

3. As you should remember from the previous chapter, our heir was Lincoln Collins and during college he met Carmen Dai who became one of the first sims I’ve ever allowed to join my sims at college. Anyway, they’ve moved back in with Lily and Trevor – Lincoln’s parents – and are now settled in and ready to give birth to the fifth generation!

4. Lincoln and Carmen were married very soon after they moved back in and after Lily and Trevor congratulated their son on his new wife. *Lilly has now completed a second LTW since all six of her children have been married off.

5. I now introduce to you the newest Collins’ couple! And the future parents of generation five!

6. Linc and Carmen wasted no time in conceiving their first child – generation five is officially on the way! I can’t believe I’m half way done with this legacy! As a reminder, this generation is going to be named after Pushing Daisies.

7. Linc and Carmen are still just as cute Together as they were in college. I love these guys so much, I’ll be really sad when they die.

8. It doesn’t take very long before Carmen soon begins showing.

9. Carmen’s belly keeps getting bigger by the day, soon there will be a new little one running around the house.

10. I can’t believe Carmen’s going into labor already!

11. Meet baby girl Olive* with red hair, skintone two, and blue eyes. *In Pushing Daisies, Olive Snook is an employee at the Pie Hole and she lives in an apartment above the Pie Hole next door to her boss, Ned, whom she has very strong feelings for.

12. I missed it happen, but unfortunately Corona has died. She’ll definitely be missed!

13. Since everyone was so upset about Corona dying, I allowed them to adopt a kitten. This is Sugar, she’s a sweetie.

14. Sugar’s such a cute little kitten! I love her!

15. Apparently when Lincoln adopted Sugar, she was only a day away from becoming an adult cat so as soon as eleven came around, Sugar aged up.

16. Time flies by and soon it’s time for Olive to become a toddler!

17. She aged into a pretty cute toddler. Her nose looks a little weird on her at the moment, but I’m sure she’ll grow into it. Personality: 10/9/3/7/3

18. As a toddler, Olive learned all of her toddlers skills and was taught a nursery rhyme. I thought I had more pictures of her as a toddler, but I guess not. Sorry about that.

19. She aged into a super cute little girl, and her nose definitely does look better on her now.

20. Lincoln and Carmen decided that they wanted one more child so they immediately began trying to conceive – twelve hours later they were pregnant! *Seriously, I had them trying for a baby over and over for twelve sim hours before the lullaby finally played!

21. It doesn’t take very long before Carmen begins to show. Lincoln is very excited for this baby, and he’s hoping for a little boy this time since he has so many nieces and only one nephew.

22. It took ages, but Lincoln has finally found a job in the Politics career. Due to his college degree, he started at level nine which means he only needs to get one promotion to become the mayor and be permaplatinum.

23. I always send my pregnant sims to work, and Carmen comes home with a promotion to City Planner and permaplatinum status. Her new lifetime want is to own five top level businesses – which will not be happening.

24. Lincoln comes home a few short hours later with a promotion and permaplatinum status as well. His new lifetime want is to raise twenty puppies or kittens – not happening.

25. Carmen has gotten her second bump! Just one more day until the baby is born!

26. One evening while she was relaxing, she began to have labor pains and sure enough it was time for her to give birth!

27. Meet baby girl Charlotte* with red hair, blue eyes, and skintone two. *In Pushing Daisies, Charlotte “Chuck” Charles is the love interest of Ned and she’s murdered, and Ned is able to bring her back to life by touching her. Only they can NEVER touch, otherwise Chuck will die again – forever.

28. Meet baby girl Emerson* with skintone three, grey eyes, and brown hair. *In Pushing Daisies, Emerson Cod is a P.I. that solves murders with the help of Ned since Ned can bring dead people back to life for 60 secs (if alive again for more than 60 secs, someone in the vicinity will die as a result.) Emerson has a daughter, Penny, whom he hasn’t seen in 7 yrs ‘cause his ex wife ran off with her. [There weren’t enough girl names which is why I gave her this name.]

29. Shortly after Emerson was born another little girl named Vivian* was born with brown hair, brown eyes, and skintone three. *In Pushing Daisies, Vivian Charles is Charlotte’s Aunt, however not by blood. She’s Charlotte’s father’s step-sister and ex-fiance.

30. And finally baby boy Ned* with red hair, grey eyes, and skintone three. *In Pushing Daisies, Ned is a pie maker with the ability to bring dead people back to life. However, if he touches them again they’ll die again – forever. He also can’t bring them back to life for more than a minute otherwise someone else in the near vicinity will die.

31. Lincoln keeps sneaking off to stargaze, and soon he gets abducted. Which means that my generation that I wanted to only have two or three kids in will now have at least six.

32. Unlike most sims, Lincoln decided to use his being thrown out of a spaceship as a chance to practice his back flips.

33. When Carmen saw her husband was home, she immediately came up to him and gave him a back massage.

34. Olive has maxed out all of her skills!

35. It’s time for the quads to become Toddlers!

36. CHARLOTTE 10/9/3/7/3 (she’s a clone of Olive)

37. EMERSON 10/10/3/8/1

38. VIVIAN 6/5/10/7/3

39. NED 10/10/3/7/2

40. While teaching Em her toddler skills, Lincoln ran into the restroom to throw up, and then almost immediately after he got his first belly bump.

41. It’s time for Olive to become a teenager! I’m glad though because she’ll be a big help with the quads.

42. OLIVE Pleasure: Become Celebrity Chef

43. Lincoln soon has received his second baby bump – I hope he only has one baby.

44. I love these guys – favorite generation yet! These quads are also a lot easier to take care of compared to Lincoln and his siblings. Also, Viv is such a sweet heart, I can’t believe she only has 3 mean/nice points. She made best friends with Charlotte, Em, and Ned really quickly.

45. Finally the time comes for Lincoln to go into labor.

46. Meet baby girl Penny* with black hair, green skin, and black eyes. She luckily got Lincoln’s nose. *In Pushing Daisies, Penny Cod is Emerson’s long lost daughter.

47. That night it was time for the quads to become children.

48. Charlotte and Emerson.

49. Vivian and Ned.

50. I let these guys skill with the table first since they’re all best friends. Seriously, I love these guys. Charlotte’s my favorite though.

51. Time flies by and soon it’s little Penny’s birthday.

52. Penny aged into a cute toddler with an awful cheek and jaw structure. Hopefully she’ll grow into it. Personality: 1/6/10/10/8

53. Olive is now an overachiever since Lily, Trevor, Lincoln, and Carmen all rolled the want for her to become one. And now that the quads are children, I’m sending Olive off to college.

54. Emerson is the first of the quads to max out all of her skills.

55. Trevor’s time has finally come, and so one evening the grim reaper comes to take him off to Sim Heaven to join his wife.

56. Vivian is the second quad to max out all of her skills.

57. Charlotte soon follows in her younger sisters’ footsteps and maxes out her skills as well.

58. And finally Ned catches up to his sisters and maxes out all of his too.

59. Penny loves to draw. She’s always drawing, but that doesn’t mean she can’t eat her crayons at the same time too.

60. The entire family, except Carmen and Penny, rolled up a want to adopt a puppy or adopt a puppy/kitten – I caved. Meet male puppy Digby* *In Pushing Daisies, Digby is Ned’s dog whom he’s brought back to life as a child when he got hit by a car. As a result, a squirrel died and Ned must pet Digby with a stick.

61. Time really seems to fly by, and it’s already time for Penny to become a child.

62. She’s really cute, don’t you think? She really aged into her cheek/jaw structure.

63. Twenty-five more elixirs.

64. Time for the quads to become teenagers!

70. Lincoln loves his alien daughter Penny, and she’s a major Daddy’s girl as you can tell.

71. Digby has aged into an adult dog – and I looked at his relationships panel, Vivian is his master so if she isn’t heir, I’m going to let her adopt him from the family.

72. Aw, Lily has just passed away. I’m going to miss her tons.

73. It’s time for Carmen, Penny, and Lincoln to grow up!
