2. Welcome back! Are you ready for the last chapter and the race to the
final birth? After that we’ll have a short catch-up session. In the
meantime, let’s see where we left off. Heir Yuri had graduated college –
the last sim in the legacy to do so – and we saw all 10 of the spares get
married and produce kids. Now Yuri is back at the main house with his
beloved, Chris the streaker.
3. Yuri, you’ve seen the goods plenty of times. Don’t go getting surprised
now! Chris and Yuri do a little catching up outside.
4. Ericka was at work when Yuri moved home, and she won’t get back
until 6, so the wedding will wait till tomorrow. Still, Yuri and Chris get
a headstart on trying for baby since that’s really all that’s left to do in
this legacy. The wedding is just a formality, really.
5. Yuri and Veronica work on producing the last pair of paintings in the
legacy.
6. “What do you mean you’re pregnant already? You kids haven’t even
gotten married.”
“That’s happening tomorrow. We have plenty of time. Aren’t you
excited for another grandchild?”
“Well, yeah, this will be my 20th. I’ve had that want locked forever.”
7. Here’s the finished portraits. I think Yuri and Chris make a lovely
couple. It’s hard for me to believe this legacy is almost over,
considering I started it in 2005 (I think?) and am just now finishing it!
This family has always been there, even when I wasn’t playing, and
they were waiting when I got back. I’m really happy to be finishing,
but I’m going to miss them, too.
8. Ericka and Veronica help Chris get
ready on the day of the wedding.
She makes a beautiful bride, don’t
you think? She likes to dress
conservatively when she’s not
streaking, and this was the most
covered-up wedding dress I have.
It’s based on an “elven” dress
mesh, hence the long sleeves.
9. The guests arrive for the party. Breaking the dress code are
my simself in blue and Carrie the former placeholder in
black. The rest of the kids – Yves, Yasmine, Yuliana, Yvette,
Yvonne, Yantse, Yanichel, Yumi, Yates, and Yews – show up in
green to match the wedding’s colors. We didn’t need many
non-family guests since the kids are pretty much a party in
themselves.
10. The guests proceeded to act like . . . well, sims. It took quite a while
for them to settle down, and Veronica got distracted and started
doing hang loose at various people, which didn’t help matters. Once I
directed her back towards the wedding, the seating process
progressed more quickly.
11. Finally everyone is sitting down and not popping up distracting
thought bubbles, just long enough for one picture of Chris
walking down the aisle.
12. Chris and Yuri look so happy
getting married, but Chris’s
sleeves clipping through
everything detracted from the
beauty a little.
13. Even Alison the dog came out to wish the happy couple well. It was a
very nice wedding.
14. Veronica, Ericka, and Chris all got points for the wedding, but Yuri
was just thinking about where his next sandwich was coming from.
15. This picture is here to show you Alison’s queue. She was a little low
on social since everyone had been busy getting ready for the
wedding, but boy did she come to the right place to fill it up!
Everyone wants to pet or play with her.
16. Welcome to the family, Chris, and may I present the generation
nine couple: Yuri and Chris Vermachtnis!
17. This is one of the few sim parties I’ve seen that actually
looked like a party. Instead of scattering to the wind to
play with instruments and video games, the guests danced
and drank together and actually socialized with each
other. I guess it helps that the vast majority of them are
related. On that note, this qualified as a family reunion,
but Veronica unfortunately did not have that want at the
time. Meanwhile, the new couple snuck off for a rousing
round of . . .
18. . . . chess! You knew I was going to say chess, right? Since Chris is
already pregnant, I let them roam free during most of the party
and this is where they ended up.
19. Chris did her thing and Yuri did his thing at the party.
21. The party wound down and things went back to normal . . .
or whatever normal is for this family.
22. This is what a naked sim getting her first bump looks like.
Congrats, you two, generation 10 is on the way!
23. Yuri! Watch where you’re putting your hands! This isn’t that kind of
story!
“I’m just rubbing her belly . . .”
Sure you are.
24. That’s better. Chris had to change clothes because her previous outfit
doesn’t have a pregnancy mesh. With clothes on, their interactions
look much more innocent.
25. Yuri and Chris posed for a nice little couple picture up in their
cheese-colored bedroom. I hope their kid’s cute, but these
two are both pretty good-looking so it’s likely.
26. While we all wait impatiently for Chris to give birth, typical
legacy life proceeds. But where is the mommy-to-be?
27. Well, she’s in bed most of the time. She was really
exhausted throughout the pregnancy and only got up to
pop again before going back to bed.
28. In a brief window of wakefulness, Chris spends more time with
Yuri. Despite having romance as his secondary, Yuri is really
excited about his baby.
29. “Someone has to wear the pants in this family!”
“That’s really sexist, Yuri.”
“No, you’re misunderstanding me. I just meant, between the
two of us, at least one of us should wear pants at all times.”
“Oh, well in that case, not it!”
30. These two are really into chess for some reason. They just kind of
randomly started playing together during the wedding party, and
now they do it all the time. This is also the only time Chris will talk
about grilled cheese with Yuri, so he sneaks it into conversation
every now and then.
31. Just a picture of Chris, taking a naked nap. She is so sleepy with
this pregnancy!
32. When Chris wakes up from her nap,
she alerts me that she is ready to give
birth. Her comes generation 10!
Ericka, Yuri, and Veronica were all
on hand for the birth, plus some
random townie teen that ran in off
the street. You can just see him
peeking through between Yuri and
Veronica.
33. Ericka and Veronica got a cool 30,000 points each for having 20
grandchildren. Yuri got his first (and only) child, and the townie
got a free show.
34. Welcome baby Zayne, the last Vermachtnis to be born.
Unsurprisingly, he is S4 like both his parents, but he also has his
daddy’s pretty green eyes. He has brown hair, which means
that Yuri was never carrying red hair at all. Oh well.
35. I think Yuri and Chris would have made great parents if I were
sticking around to play them, but I’m not. You know why? Because
this legacy is finished, baby! Generation 10 is here, and I finally
finished a sim challenge 9 years after I started playing. That’s . . .
kind of pitiful, but let’s ignore that for now. Instead, let’s check out
what Zayne would have looked like and then do a final farewell to
the family.
36. Using cheats (which I can now use
because the legacy is over!!!), I
grew Zayne up stage by stage to
see what he would have looked
like. As a toddler he is very cute!
He has his daddy’s big eyes, but
he definitely has his mom’s nose.
As a child, still cute! Then, when
he grows into a teen . . .
37. BOOM! Chin! Chris is another one of those female sims that are
hiding an extreme male face behind their pretty female faces. That
kind of bothers me, but Zayne still has quite a bit of charm about him.
38. Here’s Zayne as an adult. As you can see from the side view,
Chris is the female version of Kennedy Cox or maybe Ben Long.
Anyway, as long as I look at him from the front, I think Zayne is
pretty cute. Now that that’s finished, let’s check in with
generations past.
39. The first step in my plan to celebrate the Vermachtnis clan was to
resurrect all of the dead ones. They took turns resurrecting the sims
they knew, all the way back to the founder, Asher.
40. The second step was to age them all down into adults, and the third
step was to dress them so they didn’t look ridiculous. Like Max here,
the aging down process left most of them with grey hair and random
outfits. Not everyone gets to be a white-haired club kid, but Max is
just lucky, I guess. I didn’t have CC at all for the original generation
and only limited CC for a few generations afterwards, so I got to pick
all new CC outfits for the earlier sims.
41. This is what 10 generations of Vermachtnis heirs and spouses on
one lot looks like. Now we’re going to do a quick recap and take a
look at all of the above sims, and then we’re through. You’re almost
done reading! Hang in there!
42. Asher Vermachtnis was the first
sim who I didn’t abandon after a
few days. He founded a great
legacy and lured in Christy, a
townie, by talking about video
games. Together they started
building the legacy before even
University was out! They had
four natural children – named
Daisy, Darcy, Devon, and Dallas –
and two adopted sons named
Clay and Lee. Asher was a
knowledge sim who frequently
missed out on momentous
occasions by doing things like
making the bed, and Christy was
a family sim who ended up being
crazy about grandchildren.
43. Darcy was our first heiress. She
was a fortune-minded sim that
enjoyed buying things much
more than she enjoyed making
money. She was originally slated
to marry Pao the mailman, but I
wised up with the addition of
Nightlife, and she married Leo
the bartender instead, who was
my favorite spouse in the whole
legacy. Leo was another family
sim, and he was a great dad
who loved to make funny faces.
Their children were Gabriella,
Gordon, and Gage. That was the
smallest generation in the
whole legacy.
44. Gabriella, or Gabi for short, was
the third generation heiress. She
married her college sweetheart,
Jessie the former newspaper
boy. Gabi was pleasure and
Jessie was romance, and both of
them fooled around on each
other quite a lot in college,
despite the fact that they lived
together. They each juggled
several lovers then, but once
married, they remained faithful
and truly in love. They had five
children: Jay, Joy, Jordan, June,
and Julian.
45. June was the fourth generation
heiress and the first one to make
use of the same sex-pregnancy
hack. She first married Edith the
DJ. June was popularity and made
20 best friends in college, while
Edith was knowledge.
Unfortunately, Edith was scared
to death by ghosts, leading to the
relegation of all Vermachtnis
graves to an off-lot cemetery.
June, left with three little boys,
later married Mary the gardener,
who is a little displeased that she
didn’t get to snuggle with June in
these pictures. Edith and June
had three sons: Mathias,
Maxwell, and Morris. June and
Mary had five children: Madison,
Maria, Macy, Mickey, and Marc.
46. Maxwell, better known as Max,
was a pleasure sim and quite an
annoying one as well. He married
former shop girl Madeleine, who
was also pleasure after a reroll in
college. They loved each other
very much and wanted very stupid
stuff. Together they had three
children: Prescott, Penelope, and
Paul. In addition, Max was
abducted and had twin alien
babies: Palmer and Parker.
47. Palmer was the sixth generation
heir, meaning that Madeleine
didn’t actually contribute to the
gene pool. Anyway, Palmer is
notable for collecting visitors in
a backyard sim zoo including
Malcolm Landgraab, who
became his mortal enemy after
his escape. Palmer was a
dastardly soul who rolled saintly
wants and LTWs, bravely defying
my attempts to write his
personality a certain way. He
married the equally mean maid,
Lexie. Lexie is notable for lusting
after her son-in-law in her old
age. Lexie and Palmer had five
children together: Samwise,
Sebastian, Sean, Sid, and Sasha.
48. The rise of the house of mean
continued with seventh
generation Sasha, who had no
nice points at all like her father.
She was a popularity sim and, in
my opinion, the most beautiful
sim in the legacy. She was at first
going to marry her professor,
Blake, but they had terrible
chemistry so she married Prof.
Hayden instead, and this actually
worked out great because they
made a really sweet couple. Like a
good professor, Hayden was
knowledge. They had six children:
Vincent, Vance, Vanessa,
Veronica, Valerie, and Victoria.
49. Eighth generation Veronica
finally broke the streak with 10
nice points. She was a sweet
sim who truly loved everyone.
She was family, but wanted 20
best friends as her first LTW. She
married Ericka the firefighter,
who was my second favorite
spouse of the legacy beside Leo.
Ericka was fortune but
secondary family, and together
the two had 11 children! The
names of the children were
Yasmine, Yves, Yuliana, Yvette,
Yvonne, Yantse, Yanichel, Yuri,
Yumi, Yew, and Yates.
50. Lastly, we have the final couple,
generation nine Yuri and his wife
Chris the streaker. We didn’t get to
see as much of them due to the
nature of the legacy, but Yuri
managed to finish a grilled cheese
LTW in college, and Chris managed
to run around naked most of the
time. Together, they of course had
only one child, and his name is
Zayne, as I’m sure you remember
from several slides back.
51. Speaking of Zayne, here he is with his portrait. While I don’t love his
nose, he grew on me the more I looked at him, and I think he’s a fine
finish to this legacy. That ends the wrap-up, and that ends the legacy,
and that ends the chapter! Check the next slide for a final farewell,
then come visit me at SiMania. http://z12.invisionfree.com/sim_mania
Thank you so much for reading! I really love this family and I’m grateful
that there are people out there that enjoy them too. Farewell!
