The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 56

 

Hello, hello, hello! Believe it or not, as I write this, the legacy is over: I have played all the way to the end. But we have quite a few chapters before we get there because we still have all of Simon's adult life to go plus the rather eventful time of the gen. 9 heir. We ended at Simon's college graduation after four years of "Juiced Community"-influenced dormies, Simon's pursuits both musical and nerdy, wooing of and proposal to Chloe (formerly Chloe Hayden), and some misunderstandings between the couple involving the generally rowdy social life of being a Gregory spouse that culminated in them eloping while Simon was still in college. Now we are all ready to return home with Simon to Gregory Manor, so let's jump in . . .

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 55

 

Well, it's been a little while, but I've played Simon's college years and I'm here to catch you up on them! When we left off, the various spares and extras were situated in their new lives, and Simon had left for college. After an awkward encounter at Simon's birthday, he's now looking forward to picking up with Chloe again and getting the relationship off to a better start. He's got four years of uni to go to become an esteemed judge, making the world a fairer place, and he's also working on Musical Genius. Celeste and Eleanor are aging-off at the ancestral home until he gets back. That's pretty much that, and this chapter is a bit longer so we can get through college, so let's dive in...

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 54

We've got a very special chapter today: one dedicated almost entirely to all the spares! Lord knows I have enough of them. We need to wrap up loose ends before we can follow Simon to college. Want to know who's on the cover? Want to know what I do with two bonus aliens and who ends up with whom? We're going to jump around quite a bit, so keep up! Read on . . .

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 53

 

Okay. We are doing this! Multiple updates back to back! It's happening. I'm trying to get all caught up so I can move on with a joint legacy turn without forgetting everything that happened in this massive backlog of pics. So we left off with the kids and Eleanor just arriving home from Selvadorada. Mostly we are just waiting for everyone to age up. Jump in . . .

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 52

Hello, hello! Guess who opened up her screenshots folder to find 500+ pics waiting to be turned into chapters? This procrastinator right here, of course. So let's dive in. We left the Gregorys off having recently celebrated Harvestfest. Shrimpy heir Simon (seen above) is the oldest of five - also including rainbow sherbet vampire Rowan and the triplets (not a band name btw), plus there's their two much younger accidental alien aunts. We've also still got Celeste and Eleanor (gen. 6 and 7 matriarchs, respectively), family friend Kenzie, and, inexplicably, spouse Andres from gen. 5, who refuses to die. Okay, all caught up? Let's see what's going on . . .

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 51

Hello, hello! Welcome back to this episodic saga of madness that I call The Gregory Legacy. I've been trying to power through the special difficulty of this generation (generations? I mean, the aliens are technically gen. 7 but the kiddos are gen. 8. Oh, my head...) and get to my next plans for Simon to start his life with (yes, I finally figured out what to do with him besides the usual). Let's jump right in...

The Gregory Legacy, Chapter 50 (!!!)

 Hey there! For once, I actually have mostly fairly recent gameplay to share. The very beginning is old, but the rest I've played recently. The reason? Haleigh (MeadowThayer) is playing her butt off in quarantine and reading all her stories is putting me in a sims frame of mind. :)

I wish I could say I did something fun for our 50th chapter of this legacy, but I did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Still, congrats to me for making it this far and to you for sticking with me through all of the long pauses and unintentional hiatuses. We're going to see this legacy through! And on that note, objectively we don't have super long as the last of the gen. 8 spawn became kids at the end of the last chapter and eldest Simon (above) is the heir. However, we know my pace of writing and playing. Oh, we know... Anyway! Things were kind of crazy with the addition of Raf's alien daughter Stella bringing us up to 11, so let's check in and see what's up at Gregory Manor...
