2. Welcome back to Falling to Masterpieces, an artistic alphabet legacy. The
current heiress is Anjolie (above) named for Anjolie Ela Menon, the artist
that created the art in the background of the cover page. The title (of the
chapter and of the art piece) is Mahatejasvi, which is Hindu for “very bright
person”, which I thought appropriate for a chapter in which we’ll see the
kids grow up and enter college. Now away we go!
(Erratum: last chapter I said Bazille was Romance/Knowledge. She is
actually Romance/Fortune. Now you know.)

3. A birthday in the Masterpiece house is once again preceded by
thoughts of Corwin.

4. I forgot to take a good face pic of Bassano as a teen. Sorry. Bassano here is
a very good big brother, though. He and Botti are besties who share a
room. When they were the same age, they would play together every
morning when they woke up, before the school bus came. Now they dance
and chat together. He’s a very sweet teen. His aspiration is
Fortune/Popularity with the LTW to be a Cult Leader.

5. Oil grew up and also acted like a
good big brother, even though he
and Acrylic aren’t related. It’s hard
to tell in these pics, but Oil has a
very angular face. He’s an
interesting looking cat. Acrylic and
Oil have a great relationship thanks
to all the interaction they had as
kittens and now that Oil likes to look
after Acrylic.

6. Bellini continues to be a one-woman noogie show, although she’s
branched out from just annoying her sister to picking on customers.
This teen was a friend that Bellini brought home from school, but
that didn’t stop her from ending up face down in Bellini’s arms.

7. With three kids as teenagers, I
decided it was time to start shipping
them off to college. Botti will catch
up soon enough, but this will allow
me to focus on her a bit.

8. Acrylic grew up just a day after Oil and, no surprise, he’s the same dark
brown color that Pastel was. In fact, they look almost exactly alike
except for different eye colors.

9. We got a genie lamp. I’ll confess . . . I was kind of nonplussed by the
genie. Anjolie and Corwin both wished for a few extra days in
adulthood, and we left the lamp on the porch with the third wish
unused. Maybe the beauty wish could have helped Anjolie when she
was younger, but she’s stayed faithful to Corwin since their marriage.

10. Botti always spent a lot of time with
her siblings, so now that they’re out
of the house she has to amuse
herself more often. Her studying
pays off and she reaches
scholarship-level in all her skills, so
all that’s left is going to school and
playing.

11. Finally her birthday comes around too, and for once, the
party is just a small affair with no customers around to think
of Corwin. Happy birthday, Botti!

12. Botti grew up very beautiful, in my opinion.
She rolled Romance/Popularity with the LTW to
be Captain Hero. Huh? I didn’t know romance
sims could get that want. Weird. And yes, that
makes two romance sims in this generation.
Anjolie must have really rubbed off on the kids.
Botti had just enough time
to change clothes and hair
and whine about being
tired before she too was
on her way to college.
Baby Botti no longer, she’s
now ready to join her
older siblings.

13. The four Masterpiece children moved into a dorm together. I think they all
made the transition to adulthood very nicely and are lookin’ good.

14. Bassano befriended the Greek house placeholder (a former
cheerleader) and it wasn’t long before he was moving in his siblings,
too. Now all four of them are part of the house and we can move on
with college.

15. There’s a jukebox in the entry hall of the house and it provides for much
hilarity. None of the kids have danced much before now and so are
extremely goofy rocking out to the jukebox. Bellini is especially funny
considering the faces she pulls. So serious!

16. While pledging, Botti and Bazille completed a good amount of research
and so came into the house with nearly full study bars. Bassano and Bellini
have to catch up, but soon everyone is passing.

17. The four of them all go to their first class together, and then start
rolling wants for majors. Bassano is in economics – no surprise for a
fortune sim. Bellini is taking history and both of the romance girls are
in psychology. They may change later for more appropriate ones for
their LTWs, but for now I let them stick with what they rolled wants
for.

18. While they were out at class, I redid the
Greek House. I was in a pretty flippant
mood at the time so it’s not one of the
greatest houses I’ve ever built. Besides
bedrooms, there’s a study, an activity
room, and a whole music room for all
the instruments and the karaoke
machine. Upstairs is a room for
random items and the kitchen/dining
area. I ran out of money so it’s still
kind of sparsely decorated.

19. Botti is very musically-inclined. She’s the first one to get good at dancing
and she spends a lot of time on the karaoke machine.

20. Bellini, however, is all about painting. We’ve got two easels and she
has paintings started on both of them that she autonomously works
on from time to time.

21. Bassano has his fortune roots come out when he plays instruments.
He’s always looking for tips.

22. Bazille isn’t into any of the creative toys they have. She’s more
interested in socializing with her siblings and with the various students
that visit the house.

23. One of the kids picked up bowing from their parents and it’s spread
throughout the house. For some reason, while ‘hang loose’ fills me with
rage, I find bowing mildly amusing. It’s just less stupid, I guess.

24. Botti is very popular in the house. All of the older kids love their baby sister
and seek her out to spend time with her. Like when they were younger,
Bassano and Botti are still very close.

25. Although they socialize with her pretty often, Bazille and Bellini’s
relationships with Botti are not as high as they could be due to the age
difference. A long house meeting takes care of that, however, and
everyone is close friends with everyone else.

26. Amusing bathroom time! As the only playful sim of the generation,
Bassano spends plenty of his freetime playing in the tub. Botti on
the other hand has become rather enamored of the medicine
cabinet and just loves to brush her teeth. I guess having minty fresh
breath is a good idea for a romance sim.

27. Bellini has terrible taste in men! Although you can’t tell from her meanie-
pants expression, she has three bolts for this mascot, who is terribly ugly
but is also a blond - her favorite. Just like with her highschool boyfriend
Steven, Bellini falls for another ugly sim. I didn’t let her pursue the
relationship, though. We’ll set her up with a better-looking blond.

28. What are you playing there, Bassano?
“Oh, it’s my favorite game: Black Screen!”

29. “I wish . . . for a boy. Yeah. That would be great. I’d like for some
hot guy to just stroll up behind me.”
Good thinking, Botti. It’s time to get the kids paired off and Botti
is the first to start due to never rolling any wants except romantic
ones and consequently constantly having low green aspiration.

30. Botti’s wish came true and she got Edwin, an
elf-eared redhead. He didn’t originally wear
glasses but with them they have a three-bolt
attraction. It isn’t long before they’re sharing
their first kiss.
All of the romantic
interests this generation
are college townies that I
created. I realize that
Edwin and Corwin sound
a lot alike but I just
wasn’t being very
creative when I named
the first batch of townies.
I rolled their aspirations
for some variety and
Edwin here is a pleasure
sim (ugh!).

31. Shortly after sharing their first
woohoo, Botti decides to
propose to Edwin since she
desired it but didn’t also fear it.
Amazingly, it’s a positive
experience for her! Just like
with her LTW, Botti is not your
typical romance sim.

32. Right after the proposal, Edwin decides to blab all about their woohoo.
Bellini and the game club guy seem to be wondering if Edwin knows
Botti is standing right behind him while he divulges all their secrets.

33. Bazille is the next to find love. Her
boyfriend’s name is Alan and they have a
two-bolt attraction. Alan is also a pleasure
sim (ugh!).
Alan finds Bazille
super hot and they
soon have their first
kiss as well. The
romance sims are now
taken care of.

34. Another woohoo-undies proposal cements Alan’s place as
officially eligible for creating the next generation.

35. Found a better-looking blond for Bellini. Just what is that combo
of thought bubbles supposed to mean, though?
“I love playing games with Sebastian’s heart!”
Hmph. I thought you were a family sim. No game playing here.

36. “Oh alright then. In that case, I’ll just propose!”
Bellini is the first one to propose while fully-clothed and before
woohooing her intended. Sebastian is another family sim so
they’re both over the moon about being engaged. They have a
three bolt attraction.

37. Bassano soon follows his sisters’ example by having his first kiss
with and then proposing to a knowledge sim named Angeline.
They have a two bolt attraction.
Weirdly, Angeline has the same outfit as Bazille and the same pjs as
the ones Bazille wore as a teen even though she was created long
before Bazille was a twinkle in her parents’ eyes. Strange
coincidence or worrying behavior from a deranged Masterpiece
admirer: you decide!

38. Like most sims, all of the future spouses eventually end up in the music
room, this time with Bazille and Botti. It’s not unusual to see partially
clothed fiancés rocking out on an instrument.

39. Well this was interesting. Bazille and Alan woohooed in the photo
booth, but Alan didn’t get out afterwards. He stayed in there long
enough that I was worried he had glitched, but then several flashes
informed me that he was just taking pictures. By himself. Yeah.

40. We need a few more snapdragons for the new larger Greek house, so
Bellini draws the short straw and sets to work earning her badges.

41. Bassano has become quite the little
bookworm. It started with him
reading while relaxing a few times
when he woke up before everyone
else, but soon he’s picked up some
enthusiasm for literature and he
walks around the house reading. I
think it’s so cute! Just don’t walk
into any walls, Bassano.

42. Hey Edwin! It’s ok for Sebastian to check out his fiancée but you
better behave yourself. You’ve got a very beautiful romance sim to
keep you occupied. Now knock it off!

43. Having the fiancés running around the house pretty often provides time for
plenty of socialization. Sebastian makes friends with the other sims, but
Edwin is all about Botti (when he isn’t checking out her sister). Botti and
Edwin are head over heels in love and spend all their free time kissing and
goosing each other.

44. I think we have a few too many people sneaking around at night.
Sebastian was here to drop off a rose, but the matchmaker gave us
another lamp. Great.

45. And a little more random dancing. At least now they’re good at it. The
kids are being very successful in college. They all have their future
spouses lined up and they’ve finished their first year with A+ grades.
That means it’s time for an heir poll. Scroll through the next few pages
for the details.
