Welcome back :D Previously, Jacqui seduced Locke the repairman. Locke continually fled for his life. Dove grew into a young adult. Bon got old, and a baby boy was finally welcomed to the legacy.

Jacqueline would not actually pick Kavalee up but would just stand by his crib and cackle non-stop. I guess that’s showing affection in her own way...

Since there were so many sims in the house vying for Kavalee’s affection Jacqueline hardly needed to pay attention to her child at all. So she and her steroid filled legs would traipse the town at night committing misdeeds. Jacqueline: “The baby’s crying. I’m out to traipse the town and commit misdeeds.”

Tracey: “Who’s my precious grandchild? Let’s not let you get corrupted by you evil mother.” Umm, since Jacqueline isn’t your child, you do realize that Kavalee isn’t actually your grandson right? Tracey: “Don’t ruin this for me.”

Dove had also become creepily attached to Kavalee and her family-orientated trait sent her into overdrive. Ugh, we need to get you a husband and fast.

Enter Mason Parvenu (ohsims). What should have been an easy hook-up became an apparent headache. In my head they were just so cute for each other...

...however if left to there own devices they would just constantly argue about everything and nothing. Mason: “And I still stay that grilled steak is the far superior meat!”

Mason then proceeded to dwindle Dove’s poor self esteem even further. Mason: “Have you seen that Jacqueline chick around the town, she is so fine!” Dove: “She’s my sister.” Mason: “Or those twins, Shannon and Hannah. I’d like to start something with those two if you know what I mean.”

Dove: “Oh next you’re gonna say that you think that Bran Muffin is hot.” Mason: “....why would I be attracted to a pastry?”

Dove: “Don’t you think that art sucks and blonde hair girls with big golden eyes are pretty and available?” Mason: “Who are we talking about? I haven't seen any hot chicks that look like that!” Clearly this is a work in progress.

Today it’s Kavalee’s birthday! Bon was next in the queue to smother him and even wanted to throw him a birthday party despite being a loner.

Martin, being rejected by Jacqueline, moves on to staring a little too hard at her sisters. Martin: “Man, evil chicks are so hot! I don’t know which one I want.”

Cockney Chase came to the party as well, still being unfavourably attracted to members of his own extended family. Chase: “Lawd above! Jacqueline is a looker, know what I mean.”

What did I say last time? Chase: “Caw Blimey! I daan't know! Ya fin' I spend me day listenin' ter ya?” Chase you are very handsome and I really wish that you weren’t Bon’s cousin. But knowing that I can’t let it happen.

For some reason when the phone rang, Chase answered it. Bran: Umm, why did he pick up our phone?

Chase: “Lawd above! You want to know who’s ‘ere? I don’t live 'ere! So tell me 'ow I would know if someone is 'ere or not. Are you an idiot or somethin’?, innit.” Hannah: “Oooh I like him.” Forget it, too related!

Bon wore his best white tux in order to age up Kavalee.

Locke even managed to be excited for Kavalee.

Look at those overalls. And those shoes!

He’s pretty cute alright. Though I have absolutely no idea where those blue eyes came from......his great, great grandad?

Locke: “Well, that was a great birthday and all but I have to flee now and...fix...something...that’s not in this house!”

Kavalee: “Wait, daddy leave?” Yes, I’m afraid Daddy’s left. Well fled would be more accurate.

Jacqui: “Don’t worry my son, I have a special plot in the garden reserved for Daddy.”

Shannon and Hannah were close enough to their birthday so I had them age up as well.

If you look out the window you can see a little thought bubble and Locke running for his life.

Hannah grew up looking exactly the same and now hates children.

If Shannon grew up childish does that mean that Hannah hates her? Best. Evil Smile. Ever.

Wanting to try out ambitions Dove began the detective career. It was time for her very first stakeout. Dove: “What’s the place that Jacqueline likes to do her evil deeds? Of course!”

Dove: “The cemetery!”

Dove: “Two young boys talking about the stock market in the middle of the night? That’s suspicious!”

Dove: “A frail old lady complaining to said child about lack of nourishment? Very suspicious!”

Dove: “A ghost! Looking for his plot? So very, very suspicious!”

Dove: “This detective gig is way more easy than people make it out to be. Everyone is practically guilty of something when they think you’re a tree.”

Dove: “I bet I would see even more suspicious happenings if I could see over this wall.”

Dove: “Yes, suspicious old lady. Run faster. It only confirms your guilt” Needless to say, Dove didn’t find anything.

Jacqui: “You have something on your face. Oh wait, that IS your face!”

Bran: “Heh. That is your face. Brilliant.” Is that a SMIRK I see on Bran Muffin? Do I see some personality leaking through?

In case you were wondering, yes Kavalee is very much alive. Okay so he’s not mentioned, much. I mean, he’s cute but he’s not really doing anything is he. Apart from being a toddler. Maybe that is enough.

It’s enough for Dove, at least.

Some kid called Alexis Johnson had a very serious problem. Someone had stolen her toothpaste! Dove went to investigate. ....Johnson....that name sure is familiar....

AhhH! It’s Gladys Creepers daughter!!!! So she managed to not be eaten.

I don’t see the resemblance between the two. You have no idea who lucky you are girly.

Dove hikes across town to a pregnant (really? Again?) Gladys who hanging about in the middle of the woods at midnight for some reason. Dove: “Come on. I just hiked for miles. Just tell me who took the toothpaste so I can get 500 bucks from your kid.” Gladys: I’m way too pregnant to put up with this Blondie's chatter. “Leaving now.”

Dove: “Would some money out my wallet help change your mind?” Gladys: “I’m listening...”

Gladys: “Oh wait, look at this. I’ve changed my mind again. Bye.” Dove: “Can I beat her up now?”

Dove then had a bright idea that she should offer Gladys a more expensive bribe and Gladys admitted to stealing her kid’s toothpaste.

Alexis: “So you think you can just take my stuff without asking mother?! I’ll burn your house to the ground.” Hmmm, maybe she does take after Gladys a bit more than I thought.

Gladys: “So you think you can out-evil your own mother! Maybe I should just eat you instead of this soon to be newborn.” Alexis: “Please no!” Dove is so used to evil threats that she doesn’t even flinch.

Spam: Bon and Kavalee moment <3

Spam: Cute poopy time.

Jacqui: “I’m getting pretty sick of Locke and his evasiveness. I should just kill him and bury him under your garden. Then he can never leave me again.”

Tracey: “I often think that’s what I would have liked to have done to you all those years ago.”

Jacqui: “Hey doofus. I’m pregnant again! It’s yours by the way.”

Locke: “Why do you have to break it to me like that? It’s bad enough news hearing that I helped father another spawn of Satan, but you have to give me a heart attack at the same time?!”

Jacqui: “Just for talking to me like that, you have to move in with me now.” Locke: “Eep! Wait, I didn’t agree to that!” Jacqui: “Since when have I cared what you agree to or not?!”

Locke looks smokin’ ;D Maybe being a controllable sim will make him more controllable.

Mason was in trouble. Some hacker had the nerve to break into his computer (or something). In his short amount of time in this town Mason has managed to accumulate 4 different girlfriends at the same time! None of them Dove! Mason: “Thanks for helping Dove. I was looking into upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Somehow someone has hacked into it before I could upgrade! Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration and ensure he is brought to justice?“

Dove: “Urrrr, what did you want from me again?”

Mason: “Just go to the library and spy on the Yellowpants jerk for me! I can’t very well chat to my 4 girlfriends and download all episodes of battle star: galactica with someone stealing my bandwidth!”

Dove, wanting to be one of those 4 girlfriends rushes to the library and picks the worst spot to stage a stakeout. Actually no, I can’t be any worse of a position that what my simself chose when doing her stakeout at the library.

That’s right. I chose the wall. Needless to say I never saw anything.

Dove managed to pick the right spot and Maloney Yellowpants conveniently voiced out his confession right in front of her.

Dove: “Hey Locke, it’s your birthday? Sorry can’t stop. I’m solving a case for Mason and hopefully I’ll be his girlfriend and the mother of his children shortly.”

Wait, it’s your birthday! You’ve only been in the house since this morning. Hold on, when I was sorting out your beard I noticed that your face had some lines.....NOOOOO PLEASE DON’T BE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

...and then the game crashed....AGAIN. The save had become to unwieldy and either crashed every half hour or refused to save with error 12 if I went for more than 10 minutes without saving.

Sick of the computer making sly comments towards me, I gave up on Sunset Valley and moved the necessary people to a cool new town, Elba Village.

I moved Locke in a few days earlier this time before the move and for some reason he was only a quarter way through adulthood this time.....The sims universe sure is strange.

After settling into the new town I went and checked on the spares love life. Dove was still having no luck with Mason. Dove: “But I solved that case for you...doesn’t that mean we are going out now?”

Mason: “Sorry Dove, but I already have enough girlfriends at the moment.”

Shannon had started a relationship with this ugly guy, Cullen McIrish before the move. I was thinking about breaking them up and finding someone else for Shannon...

...Until this came up about Cullen attacking an old man reciting poetry and then I realized “OF COURSE SHANNON WOULD LIKE HIM!” Cullen is officially the town thug.

Martin had clearly stolen Noel Crowder’s loud shirts in the move. I hooked him up with Hannah :D

In a small world Martin happens to be Isaac Deen’s work partner. Isaac is married to Monique and apparently there is trouble in paradise because when I checked on them their relationship was about negative 50! Girls in this generation are having no luck at all with relationships.

Martin: “Howdy partner. How’s the marriage?” Isaac: “Shaddap.”

In a smaller world Monique is also Martin’s and Isaac’s boss, and Martin took it upon himself to set Monique straight. Martin: “What are you doing to my partner! Stretched relationships is no place for a policeman to live! He’ll die of a heart attack one day to retirement. It should be a punishable offense!” I may have cheated and made it positive again.... ಠ_ಠ now stay that way!

I got sick of Bran Muffin just hanging around so I aged and booted her out good. Dove was the only one who bothered to turn up.

Bran: “So none of you could come to see me grow up yet you can make it for cake?” Jacqui: “Are you still here!?”

Dove received a mission to investigate someone’s car or books or something being stolen and creepy Gladys was the suspected thief. Is it creepy that I also moved her to the new neighbourhood?

Dove: “I’m just here to check for bin termites and....wait a minute, did I just hear a baby murmur in this house!?!?!? Can I hold it?!”

Gladys: “No sorry, she’s just marinating-I MEAN ASLEEP, and I don’t want to disturb her until she’s ready to go into the oven – I MEAN, READY TO FEED!”

I might not be control Dove to pick up the kid as she is not friends with Gladys but it didn’t stop Dove from ignoring the sleuth commands and autonomously picking the baby up and hugging it for all she’s worth on three separate occasions. The family was not amused. Gladys: “Do you mind? We’re about to sit down for dinner and I recall you saying something about termites.”

Oh man, look at them. They are wearing the same thing!

Bon seems to have electrocuted himself fixing the stereo. Bon: “Probably should put that out I guess.”

Tracey: “Bon, I want that stereo fixed. I can’t get through this meaningless day unless I can listen to my Gardening Program.” Bon: “Don’t worry. Locke’s not the only man around here who can fix things.”

Gah! Bon! Not again! Maybe we can just get Locke to fix it instead?

Hello? Bonny?

Bonbon! Speak to me!

Grim: “So is it time to collect Tracey yet? She died a bit earlier than you said she would.”

Tracey: “Dead? What? Grim I’m right over here. It’s my husband that's dead you tactless man.”

Grim: “Sorry, but your step-daughter had rigged this stereo to kill you when your tuned into the gardening channel. How unfortunate she killed her father instead.”

Jacqui: “Oh it’s true! I wanted to kill Tracey in the most painful experience, but my heinous crimes have caused a cruel irony. Old man! I’m sorry I accidently killed you!”

Bon: “Grim, you cannot do this to me. I finally nearly had the house to myself again and I’m about to meet my second grandchild! Can’t you feel my pain!”

Grim: “Pain?! You don’t know what pain is. Try getting laughed off stage in your comedy debut. Then we can talk about pain!”

Bon Pause: 82 Days Old In the most unfair act of all, Bon is the youngest Pause to die so far. BON! Didn’t we promised each other that you would live forever! It seems like only sim-yesterday you melted my heart with your shaggy toddler haircut and onesie. I’m very sorry I made you have 6 kids despite being a loner, but your looks were too good to keep to yourself. My baby Bonbon is gone *Cries*

I don’t like this game anymore.
