2. Welcome back to the Hues Legacy, a joint legacy between
Haleigh/meadowthayer and me (Roxanne)/Taube. In chapter
1, we saw the founder, Neon, go through college and settle
down with her husband, Sinjin (pictured above). Together they
had two single sons, Cerulean and Cobalt, and then a set of
triplets – two boys and a girl
named, respectively, Sky, Indigo, and Azure. Between the last
chapter and this one, their ugly house had a new addition
added on purely for the nursery for the triplets, which you can
see part of above right. Now let’s see where everyone is.

3. Ceru has been bringing
some friends home from
school recently, but they’re
both girls with braids.
Hmm, looks like someone
already has a type. He’s
pretty good at making
friends, so he gets hugs
from his lovely ladies with
braids before too long.

4. Neon continues to work as the Minister of Education, and it
isn’t long before she hits some major financial milestones.
She’s done fairly well for herself money-wise, both in college
and out, and except for a day or two of that first week, she and
her family have always been well provided for.

5. I should have taken a better, bigger screenshot of it, but I had to share this
because it cracked me up. The memory for having 50 dream dates just says
“Dates, Yay” without even an exclamation mark. My sentiments exactly!

6. It’s soon little Cobalt’s birthday, and while Sinjin is off working
and the babies are sleeping or doing whatever it is babies do
all day, his mom and big brother are there to celebrate
Cobalt’s big day.

7. This picture is actually much later, in the new house, but I
completely forgot to take a picture of Cobalt until just before
he turned teen. Anyway, here he is as a child. He still has
that big, wide nose.

8. Now Cobalt can study with his big brother! I decided to dress
the kids in similar colors and I considered blue but that
seemed too obvious, so I settled for orange/yellow. I don’t
know why I chose that, especially since they’re all blonds, so
there’s plenty of yellow on them already, but I did.

9. The boys don’t have to study all the
time, though. They are great friends
and spend a fair amount of their
free time playing together. Ceru
prefers toys when he’s on his
own, while Cobalt’s preferred hobby
is games, and he gravitates toward
the game system anyway.

10. Neon unlocked the ability to write restaurant guides. She got a good
payment for each of them – usually over $3000 – and they didn’t take a
huge amount of time. In the interest of building a bigger, non-ugly
house, she wrote quite a few to bring up the family’s net worth.

11. The triplets’ birthday comes and
Sinjin is once again at work. He
usually works nights since he’s
working his way up the Slacker track.
The rest of the family gathers around
for each of the triplets in
turn, though.

12. And here they are. I had high hopes that
maybe Azure would turn out pretty like
her mother, but she’s actually the worst of
the bunch. They all got a lot of
characteristics from their father, and once
again the genes mix weirdly on their faces.
Azure is our only nice sim of the
generation, with a personality of
4/10/8/3/10. Sky, top right, is 10/5/10/0/3
and Indigo is 7/8/10/0/3.

13. With one kid newly turned child and
three of them in their toddler
years, there’s a lot of learning that
needs to go on in Neon and Sinjin’s
house. Amazingly, the triplets
eventually learned all their skills, and
Neon still has time to teach Cobalt to do
his homework.

14. This frees the triplets up to get to know each other and build a few
skill points at the play table. They’re so cute in their matching
onesies even if they do have weird faces.

15. There’s only one free spot at the table, so Cobalt and Ceru
have to take turns getting to know their younger siblings.
Before long, everyone is best friends, though.

16. After many nights away from home, Sinjin finally reaches Professional
Party Guest and fulfills his lifetime want. He didn’t find the career for so
long that I had started to get worried about whether he would find it in
time for me to pass them off to Haleigh, but it turned out that he did so
with plenty of time left and there was nothing to worry about after all.
His next lifetime want is to be the Mayor.

17. Even though they’re no longer dating (sooooo sick of
dates), Sinjin and Neon still spend a lot of time loving up on each
other, no matter who’s there to witness. They’re a very sweet
couple.

18. Ceru’s teen birthday comes around and we are that much closer to the
end of the generation. His parents attended his birthday too, but I just
loved this pic of Cobalt absolutely screaming in support of his big
brother.

19. Immediately after Ceru’s birthday (so soon he’s still in his ugly
grow up clothes) it’s also the triplets’ birthday. Now that we have
a teen in the house, all three can grow up at the same time.

20. First, here’s Cerulean as a teen, all cleaned up. He rolled
popularity/knowledge. This seems a good time to point out
that we decided to choose our own heirs, so there’s not going
to be an heir poll, but you still get to admire them as teens, I
guess. You’re welcome, lol. I know he’s so pleasant to look at.

21. And here’s the triplets, dressed in
the mandatory yellow/orange color
scheme. Obviously Azure is top
right, but that’s Indigo above and
Sky below. They’re the two best of
the generation, I think, though
Indigo is my favorite. Still not the
kind of faces I was hoping
for, though.

22. Neon and Sinjin are such a good
influence on their children. They’re
always running about in their undies
and making out with each
other, whether the children are there
or not. They celebrate the triplets’
first day of school by cuddling in
their underwear in full view of all
their children’s classmates. I’m sure
the kids appreciated that, lol.

23. With everyone but Sinjin out of the house
(he’s out front catching butterflies in his
undies as seen on the cover), it’s time to build
the new house. Here’s the tour. Top
floor, clockwise from bottom right: adult
bedroom, bathroom, hallway, older boys’
bedroom, triplets’ bedroom, playroom.
Bottom floor, same orientation: living
room, hallway, kitchen/dining, second
bathroom and study. It’s just big enough for
the family, but still pretty good for the first
gen. And I didn’t even mess around with

24. Once again having Ceru be a teenager really comes in handy
when it’s time to teach the triplets how to do homework. Now
that they have their nice new house, there’s even room
enough for them to all three do it in the same room.

25. Now that all the children are school-aged, it’s time for a visit
from the headmaster. Turns out Sinjin is an excellent
schmoozer. I didn’t take more pictures of the visit because it
went pretty much how you’d expect, and all five of the kids
are in private school afterwards.

26. Ceru’s all done with his skilling and it isn’t long before Cobalt
follows him. While their three younger siblings take time to
continue learning, that leaves Ceru free to play video games
and Cobalt to take a nap while Samantha Ottomas plays
obnoxious beginner music in the background. Kind of amazing
that Cobalt can sleep through that.

27. The kids are all great friends, and, like
most of my sims, they spend all
morning before school goofing around
with each other.

28. In what I suppose is their middle age, now that they’re no longer dating
constantly, Neon and Sinjin have picked up the habit of constantly
heading outside to cuddle and talk about bathtubs and grills or whatever.

29. The older boys are definitely lady magnets. They both consistently bring
girls home from school, and even ones that didn’t come home with them
will forsake their supposed friend to play/watch video games with Cobalt.

30. Cobalt’s birthday has come around again! Time for the second teen.
Please grow into your nose, please grow into your nose, please grow
into your nose!

31. He’s better than Ceru, in my opinion, but that’s still one big nose. I
realized at this point that I don’t really have that much yellow or
orange teen stuff, so I decided to stop color-coding the kids when
they become teens, so Cobalt gets a green and white tee.
Cobalt’s aspiration is knowledge/grilled cheese.

32. Both Ceru and Cobalt really show
their secondary aspirations more
strongly. Ceru’s is knowledge and
he constantly wants to skill, while
Cobalt is all about the grilled
cheese.

33. Indigo managed to get around
my carefully-planned structure
and get older sims to read to
him often enough to develop
enthusiasm in literature. I can’t
be mad when he walks around
with a book, though. It’s just
too cute!

34. Ugh, teenagers. Leave these two alone for a minute and
it’s an instant battle of noogies.

35. So, Sky is an interesting little fellow. While his siblings play, talk, and
give each other noogies (as has just finished happening in the top left
picture), he likes to go around and make all the beds. Doesn’t matter
what else is going on – every bed must be made before Sky is happy.

36. Sinjin and Neon continue to be
wildly in love, and they continue
to cuddle on the porch, talking
about barbequing teddy bears or
whatever. They’re really pretty
sweet when they’re not being
weird.

37. Like so. Lying on the cold ground in the middle of winter, while your
children stand back and wonder what’s wrong with you: it may be time
to reconsider your priorities.

38. Sinjin gets an eensy-weensy 15,000 points for making ten best
friends. Oh yeah, I forget that his secondary is popularity.
Most of the time he just wants to woohoo with Neon, have
public woohoo with three different sims, make out with three
different sims, those kinds of wants.

39. Oh, look whose birthday it is now! Time for Neon to become an
elder. Make a wish, Neon!

40. Haleigh pointed out to me that Neon’s nose got a good bit bigger when
she aged and now I can’t unsee it. I never thought it was out of
proportion with her face, but maybe Sinjin isn’t the only one to blame. :/
I could still have let her keep her pink hair, but it didn’t seem right for the
aging mother of five, so I gave her a pink dress instead.

41. Old age has not reduced the urge to cuddle out in the cold.

42. Mornings are so crazy with these five!
Because there’s an odd number of
them, someone is always left out and
ends up standing around, waiting to
interact. There’s lots of
playing, showing off, and yes, noogies.

43. Sinjin became Mayor! Besides it being his current LTW, he also
wanted to top the career which is why he’s only showing 15,000
instead of 25,000 points. His next lifetime want is 20 simultaneous
lovers. Ha ha, NO.

44. Sinjin spends some quality guy time with his oldest sons when
he gets home from being the Mayor. You can see that Cobalt
has reached the zone in gaming from playing so often. It’s a
weekend day so the boys never even managed to change out
of PJs.

45. The three youngest are still working on getting their skills to
where they need to be for scholarships. Sky seems to be having
some trouble with basic book holding techniques, though.

46. It’s the day of the triplets’
birthday! I just had to take some
cute pictures of them before they
aged up. They’re not the kind of
faces I was hoping for, but they’re
still cute in their own way.

47. Oh good job, Neon. She had a bad chance card and got
demoted, and since it’s the triplets’ birthday I’ll be handing
them off to Haleigh soon, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
At least she didn’t get fired, I guess. Sigh. This happened with
Katherine McMania too, but she got busted all the way back to
level one. Neon just lost one level, thankfully.

48. Once she gets over the shame of being demoted, Neon joins the rest
of the family in celebrating the triplets’ birthday. Nice to have the
larger kitchen in the new house. There never would have been room
enough in the old house.

49. And, yup, they got older. That’s all
I’ll say about that. They definitely
have faces that are older than child
faces. Yeah.
Anyway, Sky up top there is
family/popularity, Indigo is
popularity/romance (the inverse of
his dad), and Azure is
romance/fortune.

50. And that’s the end of the first generation of the Hues Legacy.
Neon, Sinjin, Cerulean, Cobalt, Azure, Indigo, and Sky join me in thanking
you for reading. Next we’ll see where Haleigh takes the family, and
hopefully she can breed out the noses. Good luck, Haleigh!
Please stop by SiMania to read future chapters of this legacy and to chat
with us. See you there!
