So, Henry has grown into a teenager. Despite his lousy upbringing, he's actually a pretty cool guy. Maybe the Evil, Insane, Friendly, and Neat-Freak traits canceled each other out. ;-)
As of yesterday evening, the people still in my Legacy Household were: Faye, Fiona (husband Demetrius), their son Frederick, and Frederick's cousin, Henry Hawkins.
Frederick and Henry are the 5th Generation children. Their family trees look like this:
[Eliza Steel > Ivy Steel > Faye Steel > Fiona Feliciano> Frederick Feliciano]
[Eliza Steel > Ivy Steel > Faye Steel > Fenton Feliciano > Henry Hawkins]
Fiona & Demetrius finally decided that they would move out on their own. They really wanted their own home and found a little cottage north of my legacy home. (Truth be told, I was bored with them... and I wanted to focus on the lives of Henry and his grandmother Faye). But Faye missed Fiona's family terribly, especially her grandson, Frederick. She decided to drop by and visit them the next afternoon... and unfortunately died on their front porch. :-( Obviously, this was very upsetting to the entire family.
So, as it is now, Henry is the only person left in my legacy household... My entire legacy is riding on Henry Hawkins - an Evil, Insane, Friendly teenager, who loves cleaning, and is now suffering from severe depression due to the death of his grandmother. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Generation 5 - Henry & Frederick (born 1920)
Fenton Feliciano's son, Henry Hawkins, was having a difficult childhood. Surprised? He'd already inherited the "insane" and "friendly" traits. Fenton's sister, Fiona, and mother, Faye, were concerned about little Henry's upbringing. They convinced Fenton to let Henry move back in with them.
It wasn't the best timing. Fiona was about to have a child of her own, but they all did their best to help raise Henry. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. I wasn't able to choose traits for him when he became a child, so the "evil" trait was automatically added to his ever-failing personality.
Fiona and her husband, Demetrius, gave birth to a little boy, Frederick Feliciano. Hopefully he will be the shining star of the Feliciano legacy!

Generation 4 - Flora & Fiona (born 1900)
This is my current generation - Flora and Fiona were little angels, especially compared to Fenton.
They did well in school and wanted nothing more than to have a happy, healthy family and continue the Gardner/Steel/Feliciano legacy.
Fiona married Demetrius Begay. (He took the name Feliciano)
They're due to have their first child.
Flora has moved into the house of her childhood sweetheart, Donald Steward. They're a well-to-do-family, and we all hope she'll marry into it!
As mentioned in the previous post, Flora's and Fiona's brother, Fenton, has the first 5th generation child not in the household - who I lovingly call Crazy Henry Hawkins.

Generation 3 - Elise & Faye (born 1880)
What a difficult week in the Steel household...
As Elise and Faye grew into teenagers, the older members of the household were really feeling their age... and consequently died because of it.
Eliza Gardner passed away. [This family is in the habit of marrying repairmen and other NPCs who arrive to the household. As a result, they tend to be much older than my household Sims.] Kristopher, Ivy's husband, died. Then surprisingly, the much-older Christopher Steel (Gen 1 - Eliza's husband) must have been eating his Wheaties, because he stuck around for awhile.
Christopher remarried an elder Sim who passed away soon after their wedding. Christopher followed. In total, we lost 4 people in a few days.
Depression and chaos ensued!
A few Sim days later, things returned to normal...
Elise met a man named Dan (I can't remember his last name). She left the Steel household to move in with him, and they later had 2 children: Grayson and Sommer.
Faye fell in love with a portly man named Nelson Feliciano. I don't know if it was because Nelson was an NPC, but no matter how much I had him work out, run, swim, he never lost any weight. He's still as fat as the day Faye met him. They married, and she got pregnant.
A few Sim days later, she gave birth to a boy - Fenton Feliciano. Poor Fenton inherited the worst of the Steel/Feliciano traits. His father, Nelson, was a criminal. Faye feared that he was a bad influence on her children, and she moved out, bringing her mother, Ivy, and son, Fenton with her.
All she could afford was a small cottage on the south side of Riverview. There she found out she was pregnant again with Nelson's second child. She raised Fenton the best she could, but he still became "evil" and loved harassing the many babysitters and maids that they went through.
Much to the family's surprise, Faye had twin girls - Flora & Fiona Feliciano.
On the same night the twins were born, Fenton (inadvertently or "advertently") almost burned the house to the ground by playing with the fireplace. He planned evil mastermind plots with the maid, Caren Hawkins, and eventually convinced her to do the "woohoo" with him while his mother was in labor with the twins. Caren got pregnant, and Faye insisted they marry and move out.
They did and soon after, Caren gave birth to an "insane" baby boy named Henry Hawkins.

Generation 2 - Ivy & Adrian (born 1860)
Ivy Steel grew into a beautiful young woman. Unlike her fair-haired parents, Ivy had jet black hair and her mother's gorgeous smile.
As was custom, Ivy kept to the house. She married a young man named Kristopher Sanders. As was not custom (but seemingly more common in Sims 3), he took her last name - Steel.
Ivy and Kristopher had 2 daughters: Elise and Faye.
Adrian looked just like his father - very average, but handsome.
Adrian married his childhood sweetheart, Dina Andrews. He made quite a name for himself as a businessman, and he and Dina moved into a fancy house on the other side of Riverview.
Adrian and Dina had 2 daughters: Jo and Lindy, and one son: John.

Generation 1 - Eliza (born 1840)
Much like my first legacy starter, Eliza Gardner was a typical 1840s lady. She stayed at home to help with the daily chores and soon found herself in need of some extra help around the house.
Christopher Steel moved in to help her out. Soon they were married and expecting their first child.
In hopes of having a girl, Eliza ate lots of watermelon! It worked!
Ivy Steel was born in 1860.
About a year later, a son, Adrian Steel came along.

Intro!
I've been playing Sims for years now - since the very first Mortimer and Bella were happily married and having happy, little, generic Sim babies. I love this game and still play any chance I get!
With Sims 2, I had started a Legacy Challenge and blog (here) with the same basic principle. I had decided to start my family in the late 1800s, each generation being born 20 yrs after the first - bringing my 10th generation into the year 2000. As you'll see, I only got to about Generation 5. Of course, I was trying to play all of the families individually (without the luxury of Sims aging on their own in other households, like in Sims 3).
Playing a legacy in the Sims 3 has proven much easier, though in some ways, it's too easy. Hopefully with this blog, I will focus more on the story of my Legacy family, and less about just getting to the next generation.
Like my Sims 2 Legacy, I'm not following any specific legacy rules. I'm just going through 10 generations of my family, starting in the year 1840. I'm not using any money cheats or any others unless there's an "emergency", like for instance, when my Sim got 'stuck' on the neighbor's side porch for 24 hours. ;-)
Also, with Sims 3, I've been playing per the Legacy rule that says you have to keep at least 1 heir in your main house from each generation. I've been moving the others out but still keeping them in my family tree (in gray type in the blog).
Thanks for reading!
