Jade gives birth to a baby girl named Brass who does not have the rainbow eyes. Jade and Benedict later have a boy named Silver who does have the eyes, making him a potential heir. Jade gets pregnant again while trying for another heir but ultimately gives birth to twin girls Copper and Chrome, neither of whom have the eyes. Silver is now fated to carry on the legacy as the only child with the rainbow eyes.

2. Well, I certainly kept you waiting
long enough, so let me lead with
this: Jade gave birth to a baby girl
named Brass, but she unfortunately
does not have the eyes. She does
have Jade’s brown hair, however,
making her a little different from her
brothers, Gold and Platinum.
That said, welcome back to The Hues
Legacy, a color-themed joint legacy
written by Haleigh/meadowthayer
and me, Roxanne/Taube. We are
here at the third baby of generation
eight with nary a potential heir to be
found. Will the rainbow eyes die out
with Jade?

3. Not if Jade and Benedict have anything to say about it! They pass
Brass off to her loving grandparents and get back to work on making
an heir.

4. Later, still in her woohoo undies, Jade works on her garden. I was
tired of the fruit trees on the lot being sickly (as you can see by those
lovely beige apples) so I wanted someone with some gardening skill
that can talk to them to get their quality up quickly, and Jade drew
the short straw. Between the weeds and the poor-quality fruit
though, it’s slow going.

5. Jade is also working on her third LTW, this one to be game designer.
Benedict is trying to become a mad scientist for his LTW, and they
happen to have the same starting hours at the moment.

6. While their parents are away, Brass and the twins get a lot of
attention from Hobart and Violet, but Brass gets an extra helping
of it. Newborns are just that cute, you know.

7. Jade arrives home from work and runs straight to the upstairs
bathroom (why upstairs? There’s a perfectly good toilet downstairs,
too!) to be sick. It looks like the woohoo worked, and the fourth
baby of generation 8 is on the way.

8. It’s also Gold and Platinum’s birthday. Unfortunately, Gold had a
fear of having a party, the shy little thing, so he had to get some
extra snuggles to get his aspiration meter back in tip-top shape.
After that, the family, including the boys’ aunt and uncles and
Jade’s coworker (who happens to be Red), all celebrate the
birthday.

9. The boys are very handsome, and
despite having the same mouth,
look a little different from each
other. They start in on their
studying that very evening.

10. Any entrance to childhood in this household is greeted with
ghostly visitations, and this is no exception. Rose, Lime, and
Chris all head up the stairs to terrorize their descendants.
Gold got the first scaring, but not the last. It would help if
Chris didn’t look so darn proud of himself!

11. The next morning, Jade gets her
first bump of this pregnancy. Let’s
hope for the eyes!
Also, the boys had themselves a little
smustle session that was also
attended by Viridian and Jonquil,
and it was too cute not to include.

12. Speaking of Jonquil, he finally grew
up, and he is very interesting and
cute! He’s got Dalmatian spots on
both sides of his head over the
brown patches, but not on his back
patch. The inheriting of fur layers is
so weird sometimes.
Jonquil and his daddy Bronze look
fairly similar, except for the back
patch, the bobbed tail, different
eye colors, and the extra head
spots. Okay, that’s actually quite a
few differences, but they still
basically have the same shape and
form. They get along great since
they nuzzled so much when Jonquil
was a puppy.

13. Benedict is now a mad scientist! I don’t like night jobs, so he quit and
is going to be a stay-at-home dad for a bit while he looks for the job
required for his next LTW, which is Chief of Staff. Now all the adults
are platinum.

14. After their first day of school, Gold and Platinum are tutored
by their parents in the ways of homework. That evening, the
headmaster is over and he likes what he sees, so the boys will
be heading off to private school the next day.

15. Don’t the boys look smart in their uniforms?

16. While elderly Bronze tries to nap in the corner, the family makes a racket
for Brass’s birthday. I hope she’s cute!

17. Of course she is! But really, was that ever in doubt with these parents?
Brass’s personality is more alike to Gold’s, but she’s meaner than either
of her brothers. Her stats are 8/3/5/6/3.

18. We have another tough night with the
ghosts, but this time it’s almost all
Coral’s fault. She wakes everyone up
at least once, and she’s hating on
Brass, probably because she can’t
scare her yet. I don’t know why the
ghosts are so awful on my computer
but act more normal for Haleigh. I’m
starting to get a little fed up, though.

19. After being woken up in the early
morning by the ghosts, the
grandparents and the boys can’t go
back to sleep, so Violet entertains
the twins with Don’t Wake the
Llama while Hobart trains up Brass.
Later, Benedict enjoys his jobless
status by teaching Brass to talk.
She learned all her skills in her first
full day as a toddler!

20. Coral is still a floating terror, this time picking on her pregnant
granddaughter. Also, I feel like Jade has been pregnant forever,
so maybe I got some of these pictures out of order. Anyway,
back to Coral: I am really hating the ghosts, though I loved
these sims when they were alive. No one can get a full night’s
sleep, and they’re out every night.

21. Jade has the next day off and she
spends the early part of it in the
garden, getting her second bump in
the process. She does get her gold
badge, though, and can finally start
encouraging the trees to stop
producing horrible fruit. She also
spends some quality time with Brass,
who she hasn’t seen much up to this
point.

22. Ugh. Sky and Ericka are terrorizing the house when they too start thinking
x-ed out thoughts of Brass. I finally decided to stow the tombstones in
inventory until my turn is over, because they’re making playing not all that
fun. This is a legacy and not an apocalypse, after all. It shouldn’t be this
fraught at night. This way we still have the ghosts and if I change my mind
they can start haunting again, but I can get some peace and quiet and my
sims can sleep through the night. I stashed the tombstones as soon as the
ghosts had returned to them the next morning.

23. The adults of the house are so happy with my decision they have
an impromptu dance party! Just kidding; this is just how these
nuts choose to spend their early morning hours.

24. The exertion is a little much for Jade, though, and she goes into labor.
Come on, rainbow eyes!

25. And we have a little boy! But what about the eyes? Come on,
everyone! Move! I need to see his eyes!

26. Ah! What beautiful rainbow eyes! Finally a potential heir. He is
named Silver, and he is our little silver lining, that the legacy will be
able to continue.

27. “So, we have another son, and he has the
eyes. Guess that’s that.”
“I guess so.”
Later: “Babies are fun, right? It’s fun to have
babies.”
“Totally.”
Even later: “Wanna make another one?”
“Heck yeah! Now you’re speaking my
language!”
We’re going to try one more time for the
eyes, since Haleigh and I like to have a choice.

28. The boys are studying faithfully on a Saturday, and Jade returns that
night with a promotion to game designer. Now, like her husband,
she wants to be Chief of Staff, so we really need medical to come up
on the computer, but it’s been pretty stubborn.

29. Early the next morning, the twins wake up a little confused, having
slept through the night for the first time since they became
children. Having no ghosts haunting is kinda nice, actually!

30. Little sim cuteness alert! I love this picture of Brass fishing for a
toy, and of course I have to take pictures of our potential
(probable) heir!

31. Soon it’s a double birthday for Brass and Silver. Sorry for the top of the
wall in the picture: my in-game camera and monitor don’t match up,
and I tend to forget that. Anyway, happy birthday, little ones!

32. Brass is a lovely young lady.

33. And Silver is adorable too, if a little
serious-looking. That matches his
personality, which is 8/7/9/1/1. My
goodness! Both of his parents have 3
nice points, so I don’t know where
Silver’s attitude comes from. Should
be interesting!
He is nice to the dogs, however.
He immediately crawled off once
released from the high chair to
cuddle Viridian, and Bronze is
sulking in the background
because it’s not him getting
toddler hugs. Too cute!

34. Brass joins her brothers on the skilling couch after her birthday.
Exciting stuff.

35. The next day sees Brass learning her
homework and Silver learning all of
his skills.

36. Weirdly, Jade hasn’t popped yet, but I happen to know from her
bathroom visits that she is pregnant, so she whips up a cheesecake. If
we’re trying one last time to get the eyes, might as well increase the
odds. Also, as Haleigh pointed out, since Benedict is secondary family, it’s
a good thing to have six kids in case he rolls a related LTW when he
travels to her computer.

37. Aww, I just barely missed Bronze’s passing. He was a good dog, and
left us a wonderful son to continue the line. Goodbye, Bronze.

38. The current four kids get to know each other and work on their
mechanical skill frequently. Soon they’re all friendly.

39. Judging from when they woohooed last, Jade is well into her second
trimester, and yet her belly is as flat as ever and she hasn’t popped.
This was very concerning to me. I hoped her pregnancy wasn’t glitched.
We’ve had very good luck avoiding serious glitches, and I didn’t want
that to change now.

40. Um, guys, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
“But it’s Hues tradition to cuddle outside with your spouse!”
Right, and that’s great. Admirable even, but the spot you picked . . .

41. . . . happens to be the dogs’ pee spot. Yuck.
“Suddenly I want a bath.”
“Not as badly as I do. My poor, unclean feet.”

42. Oh thank goodness. Jade’s second pop showed up on schedule. It was a
little weird to see her go from flat stomach to full-on pregnant, but I’m
just relieved that the pregnancy isn’t seriously glitched. We’ll be seeing
two more Hues soon. Let’s hope for the eyes.

43. Just a typical day at the Hues household. There are always
coworkers and family members visiting, and I let the adults run free
a lot of the time unless the kids need something, so they like to
congregate around the piano and pool table.

44. Here’s Silver being adorable with his block toy. Yup, that’s
the entire reason for this slide. I love his thinking face!
This is one serious kid.

45. Way ahead of his brother, Platinum
has maxed all his skills. Well done!
Meanwhile, Jade and Benedict
are awaiting the arrival of their
last babies. We do have a
potential heir, so even if these
two don’t have the eyes, this will
be Jade’s last pregnancy.

46. They don’t have to wait too long, though, as Jade gives birth that
very morning while the older kids are at school and Hobart is at
work.

47. As expected, there is a handoff.

48. And, disappointingly, neither twin has the eyes! Too bad. Looks
like Silver is truly our silver lining, as he is now fated to carry on
the legacy. Still, let’s welcome twin girls Copper and Chrome.

49. “Well, at least they’re cute.”
“Yeah, that caring about eyes is a controller thing, anyway. We love
our little ones no matter the color of their eyes.”
Well, that’s good to hear, especially since you now have six of them!

50. With that, we’ve reached the end of the chapter. There isn’t much
suspense in who will become the heir, but we still have to see all six
kids grow into teens before I can pass them on to Haleigh. Thanks for
reading, and be sure to check in at SiMania and look for more updates
