Guess what! This post, Sims-Post Number Five, is officially the last post for Generation ONE! 😂 Finally, in upcoming episodes, we visit the future of this legacy - farewell Alexandria, may your Legacy live long and prosper.
This time I brightened the pictures a little bit... I think previous screenshots were a little bit too dark. Hopefully this helps. It also made the filesizes slightly larger. Apologies to those who have internet as slow and crappy as mine.
Okay. Time for Generation One to meet its end.
Onward!
All screenshots in this post were taken by me, 
At the end of last episode, Christopher had just cured Firstborn Heir Melanie of her lycanthropy! Turns out he cured it just in time for the young lady to attend prom as a normal, lovely little teenager.
Twins, Acacia and Melanie, eschew the boys and decide to go to the prom together, and they don't even dress up for the occasion. To be fair, they've only been teenagers for three days and already it's prom time. They didn't exactly have much time to prepare. Despite the lack of fancy dresses, they enjoy themselves and Melanie is even crowned Prom Queen!
That's all that matters.
While the girls are at prom, an alien whizzes down in his galactic vehicle and seems fascinated by Alexandria's garden.
Perhaps making the biggest mistake of his life, Christopher decides to greet the alien! And ignores all rumours of men being abducted, probed, inserted with alien embryos, and giving birth to a new breed of human-alien hybrids.
"That only happens in stories," he scoffs while opening his home up to the intergalactic guest.
Basking in her fresh, Prom Queen glow, Melanie takes some time to enjoy her weekend at the park, and breathes a sigh of relief after purchasing some food from a food-stall-werewolf.
She was saved a fate worse than deletion. Bless her father and his alchemy skills.
Alexandria, current Legacy Character, has at last achieved her dream of becoming a five-star Michelin worthy chef. She has a badge on her chef outfit to prove it!
Part of her wonders, though, if there is more to life than food. To cooking. To serving the unsophisticated plebs in Sunset Valley. She has been to their parties, she has sampled their food, and she has found them all lacking. Do they deserve her wondrous creations?
Perhaps something new is on the horizon, she thinks to herself as she hops into the company car and heads off to work.
While her two red-haired siblings are at boarding school, and perhaps insulted that neither of the brunettes got sent away, Isla has decided to become the Kael Legacy Menace. She argues with everyone, traps every item in the house, and causes mayhem wherever she goes.
"I deserve to be the heir, not you!" she shouts in Melanie's face.
Melanie would form a comeback but she is suffering from allergies, instead, she sneezes, sniffs, and walks away.
Acacia preens herself in the background, not particularly caring, resigned to her fate of being a Spare to the Heir.
Another day of work has come to an end and Alexandria is still at a loss.
Dazed, trapped in her own thoughts, she spins circles around the skating rink and tries to work out her future.
Perhaps from a lack of attention when she was younger, as Christopher ignored all of his children in pursuit of a Lycanthropy Removal Potion, Isla decides to take most of her malice out on her father.
"Next, the bathtub needs a cherry bomb," she giggles to herself as she sneaks up behind him.
"Boo!"
While Isla is tormenting her father, Alexandria grumbles as she repairs the computer for the sixth time that week alone. Isla's explosives are becoming a daily nuisance.
Dedicated to fixing this problem once and for all, Alexandria brings forth her powers of Handiness and transforms the machine into a beast impervious to disrepair.
With the computer repaired and upgraded, a sudden idea comes over Alexandria! She is a five-star Michelin Chef - she is a celebrity, albeit a minor one - she could write celebrity cookbooks!
Excited for the first time in a long time, she spreads her fingers over the keyboard and learns how to write.
Her first book, dedicated to the almighty ONION.
The next day, she checks her watch as she potters around in her garden.
"Oh, crap!" her eyes widen in shock as the time warns her that in an hour her company car will be coming to pick her up.
Whipping out her phone, she quickly dials the Bistro and yells, "I quit!" at ear-piercing decibels, a crazed grin spreading across her face.
They blubber and bluster and tell her that it's such short notice, they have no staff, they will have to close for the day without her. But she doesn't care. This Chef is now writing cookbooks for the masses instead of feeding them. They can learn to cook themselves!
Believing his wife to be at work, unaware that she just quit her job, Christopher runs to the park and partakes in all the hotdogs he can stuff into his face.
Alexandria would be horrified if she found out. She can never know.
The house is empty. Perfect. While no-one is home, Isla fits whoopee cushions under the seats of every couch. She fits explosives to every sink, shower, and toilet. Another explosive goes on the computer! Unaware that her mother has permanently fixed that particular location.
Muahahaha! she cackles.
Taking a quick shower in the one un-altered bathroom, an idea forms within the intricacies of Isla's Sim-Mind. Her father's neglect cannot stand. She will not be happy until...
...she see's his ghost.
There's only one way that can happen. She rubs her hands together gleefully and begins to plot her father's demise. Maybe she'll even get some money!
An uneasy feeling washes over Christopher. The evil red-head is behind him at every twist and turn, she constantly torments him with whoopee cushions and broken plumbing, she yells at him every day!
He's always looking over his shoulder. Walking on eggshells. Walking on razor-blades. Expecting an explosion to the face. He can't handle it anymore.
He calls Smuggsworth Prep and demands they take his evil daughter. He'll even pay extra to get rid of her. Just. Take her. Now.
And away she goes! The Kael family can breathe a little easier now. 😊 Everyone relaxes their shoulders and release relieved sighs.
With no cares in the world now that The Kael Menace has gone to boarding school, Melanie can focus on her own future. She is the heir. There is no longer any doubt. And she must start scouting the gene pool for the man who will one day be her husband and Heir-Bearer.
She latches onto the first male teenager she see's and crazily foams at the mouth about weddings this and bridegrooms that.
He slowly backs away.
After exhausting all of her teenage options, she starts chatting to random men. Hey, she'll be a young adult any day now! It'll be fine.
Chatting up a random mer-man, she quickly denies that her favourite food is his prawny brethren.
Perhaps not a good match, she concedes.
After failing to find a prospective match for her future endeavours, Melanie stumbles home and right into one of Isla's traps.
"God damn it!" she cries.
Somehow, in the distant, faraway Smuggsworth Prep School, Isla knows her last bomb has wreaked havoc and falls into a fit of giggles.
On the day of her birthday, Melanie thought she'd complete her last objective as a teenager. That is, fish up a fish for the science centre to dissect. Unfortunately, teenagers fishing at 6am is illegal! Even in ponds directly across from their homes.
"I'm going to be a police officer one day," she cries as the officer drags her back home. "I'm going to change these stupid curfew laws! This fish is for SCIENCE!"
Melanie doesn't let that incident put a damper on her day and starts planning her and Acacia's shared birthday party!
She invites everyone she knows! EVERYONE!
Unfortunately, it turns out that that many people can't fit into the house and the matrix almost meets reality. Sims-God-Kaelci promptly resets every Sim in town.
Though there are less people than she thought there'd be at her party, both Melanie and Acacia are ecstatic to soon meet the ranks of the Adult.
"Maybe now I can fish at 6 in the damned morning!" Melanie mutters to herself beneath gleaming grin.
"Maybe now I can do what I want, when I want, without feeling like a puppet!" Alexandria murmurs to herself, her voice masked by her own uproarious laughter as she cheers her Heir onward to take her place in this crazy Sim world.
Melanie Kael shall be DRAMATIC! So sayeth the random trait generator! 😀
Freshly adulted Melanie boogies a little this way, side-stepping towards the bathroom...
...freshly adulted Melanie boogies a little thattaway, after a quick makeover.
Freshly adulted Acacia informs an honoured guest that the thing lurking in his pants is improper and to keep it away from her. She's not interested.
The twins have officially graduated! They are both prepared with the knowledge they need to excel in life. Melanie was voted most likely to become a millionaire whilst Acacia was Valedictorian, whatever the heck that means. Probably some American thing.
Christopher's wavering hand paints his final painting.
As he paints, he remembers the effort and willpower it took to raise this child. He didn't actually raise her, or help with her upbringing, but he performed the most important role in her life - painstakingly created a potion that would remove her curse and allow her to be treasured by Alexandria.
While he does not know his daughter at all, he is proud that he managed to accomplish this one thing. Perhaps, one day, she'd realise his effort and thank him.
Now there are two. Generation Two is all set to begin.
Sims-God-Kaelci's partner, 
With a sigh, Sims-God-Kaelci plopped a house down next to the Kael Legacy Plot and spent $57,000 moving the old family-members into it.
Probably for the best. It's not much of a challenge when they're millionaires by Generation Two/Three.
"Ta-ta!" Melanie grins and waves as her family move out, leaving her with this wondrous homestead to call her own.
Following them out the door, to make sure they actually leave and don't just shack up in her backyard, or in that strange Man-Shed her father once lived in, Melanie watches as they head to their new home and buys a celebratory ice cream.
Mmm-MMM!
With her family gone and her stomach full of delicious ice-cream, Melanie waltzes back to her new family-less home and tries to open the door. She tries again. Again.
It's locked!
Her parents took the key with them, and now she can't bask in the glory of her new home.
"Call a locksmith!" she shrieks into the wild winds.
(Sims-God-Kaelci realises the door was bugged - quickly removed it, placed a new door. Hallelujah.)
Until next time! 😀
