I started playing a bit last night and I did some makeovers, which are always inspirational after long bouts of inactivity. For me anyway. So here you go, sneak peaks of everyone all grown up.
Not me--I already graduated--my sims! Finally! Generation two is in college! If you don't know why I'm so happy about this, just think, it's been fourteen chapters and I'm only on generation two. Also, it's been a long while since I've actually played the Specters. The last two chapters were mostly staged shoots, so any time I loaded up the Specter lot, it wasn't actually to play, but to take pictures. Same thing with the spares--Aerith, Zeph, Taz, etc., none of them actually get played, I just take the pictures I need for the current chapter. Normally I play ahead, so I play in between photo shoots (it just seems so weird to use that term for sims) but in this case, I needed everyone to stay the same age and still live at home. Now that I'm done with chapter fourteen, and have taken all the pictures I need of the gen 2 teens at home for chapter fifteen, I can move on and start playing them in Uni. So I'm a little excited. Not only do I get to play but I've taken pictures for at least a third of the chapter. Go me. I started playing a bit last night and I did some makeovers, which are always inspirational after long bouts of inactivity. For me anyway. So here you go, sneak peaks of everyone all grown up. Here's Rose, all grown up. I think she looks like a young rocker trying to become famous, don't you? I was playing around with her hairstyle and I thought it'd be fun to go back to red for a while, but went darker than her original hair color. In my mind Rose loves to dye her hair and experiment so while she might go back to red, she'd want something edgy too. Next up is Sydney. She surprises me all the time. Her and Rose have some exaggerated features but still manage to look pretty. I guess they get it from their mother. I kept the same hairstyle for her; it just seems to suit her. Sydney was the only one to actually grow up into a decent outfit, too. See? But since it's more like something I'd put Rose in, I changed her outfit. Sydney, I think, would prefer a touch less edgy and a bit more femininity in her clothes. Hence the dress and sneakers. And finally, Paige. She doesn't get a makeover just yet; hers will come in chapter fifteen or sixteen.I decided to make a plot point out of it; it'll give Syd and Paige a chance to do some sisterly bonding. I have to say though, her outfit isn't completely terrible. It's almost like she sensed I wanted to hold off on her makeover and so accordingly dressed in something decent. I had been thinking about the next chapter and what scenes I'd shoot, and I decided I wanted to show that Paige doesn't really care about makeup or fashion and sort of give the sense that she is too wrapped up in herself and her grief to be bothered with clothes. Then she grew up in this. I had to smile because it actually looks like something she pulled out of her closet and decided to throw on. And it's decent enough that I don't feel bad about taking pictures of her in it and not giving her some CC for a while. Finally, here are makeovers of some of my upcoming extras. First up is Houston. I wasn't sure how far I wanted Sydney's and Houston's relationship to go, so I figured I'd send Syd to college and see if she wanted him there, then proceed. Well, I moved Syd in and she promptly rolled wants for her boyfriend and sister to join her so, here he is. Houston's a cutie in my mind--and the only one of my sims who can manage to make that sweater look right--but maybe that's only cuz he's face one. I don't really have any big plans for him though, so we'll see how his and Syd's relationship turn out. If you don't recognize this next one, it's Ginger Newson. Ginger gets to grow up and get a makeover because one of her brothers is marrying the heir. Spoiler alert, if you didn't already guess, the heir is Paige. She is the only one without a boyfriend after all. I decided long ago that Ginger's brother would make the perfect spouse--it was as I was playing gen 2 as teens and everybody was going out on dates and stuff. You might have noticed while reading the chapters that Paige is the only one you don't see with a friend or hanging out with anyone outside her family. That's because Paige is meant to be a bit more introverted and because her only friend outside the family is her future spouse. When he grew up with Paige and I realized they had three bolts, I knew it was fate. So, Ginger here gets a minor role and a makeover because her brother will need some kind of family or friend to talk to and I like her best out the Newsons. I won't say which brother is marrying in though--I'll leave that surprise for the next chapter or two.

Sigh. This has been one of the those chapters that take a while. I'd write a little, then stop. Write a bit more, then stop. You get the idea. Well, I've finished and I'd rather just post it then sit on it for another week or two, so here ya go, A Specter Legacy Ch 14 is up and boy is there a lot of drama. That's all for now; I'm a little worn out. Hopefully I'll get something else out this month, but with my record who knows.
