Welcome back to the Vermachtnis Legacy, the hang-loosin’, alien-infested, baby-crazy family you know and love. Sasha here is pregnant with twins, the final sims of the generation. Her older children, Vincent, Vance, and Vanessa, are still growing, too. Let’s get started.

“Here, baby, let me give you a backrub. I know how rough pregnancy is on you, especially with twins. Must be hard. Must make one long for a backrub.”“Oh, Sasha, you’re so thoughtful.”“And you’re so dense, Hayden. It’s a good thing I love you.”

This didn’t die off since the last chapter, unfortunately.

Sasha went to work pregnant and came home a Rock God, fulfilling her second LTW. Once again, I got a picture of the influence points. Sigh.

Her new lifetime want is to have 6 grandchildren, which will definitely happen.

Vincent is busy with schoolwork and learning his skills. When he rolls wants for it, I let him max some of them. He grew up right before fall so he’s in good shape.

The twins, Vance and Vanessa, are also learning new things. They tend to learn things as a pair. More so than any other twins I’ve had, they’re very synchronized on their schedule and always wake up and go to sleep at the same time, so they learn at the same time too.

Vincent, Vance, and Vanessa make friends at the play table. I love that kids don’t have to wait until they’re all children to start forming relationships. I know I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it many more times, but I love this table.

Sasha goes into labor while Lexie and Hayden are hang-loosing at each other. Lexie and Vincent – who ran in from studying – manage to pay attention, but Hayden thinks this is a perfect time to stare at the poster on the wall. Don’t pay attention to your own baby or anything, Hayden! Now let’s see those twins.

Hey! What the heck? That is clearly not twins. That is a single baby. What is going on?

Her name is Veronica, by the way. She has Hayden’s eyes and hair and Sasha’s recessive skin.

Here’s what I think happened. I use the trips and quads hack, and when the birth happens, it gives you the option to pick the number of babies, randomize it, or have the original number. I chose original because, hey, cheesecake, it’ll be twins. Except I think it defaulted to the original original, i.e. one baby. This is my theory anyway. So the Vermachtnises have only four children. This does not make me happy but there isn’t much I can do about it at this point.

Hayden never rolls any wants for his children, but he is a great dad nonetheless. He likes to sneak off to the nurseries to play with or cuddle his little ones.

Ugh, Lexie. She is really ticking me off. She just follows Hayden around the house and finds things to do that are near him. If they were married, it would be adorable. Since they’re mother-in-law and son-in-law, it’s just gross.

Sasha is job-hopping, looking for something interesting to do now that her LTW is no longer job-oriented. She tries Paranormal here along with a few others, but eventually settles in as head of the SCIA since they keep nice, regular hours.

Vincent grew up right before the weekend so it’s several days before he actually has his first day at school. When he gets home, Hayden helps him with his homework.

The child stage brings out the parent – or rather the knowledge/fortune sim – in Hayden, and he now rolls wants for Vincent to get A’s and get into private school. We’ll wait on the private school until more of the kiddies are school age.

Here’s a weirdo barging into my house to talk to my toddler again.

Birthday time has come for Vance, Vanessa, and Veronica. Let’s see what we come up with.

Vance and Vanessa still look a lot like each other and Vincent, but look at Veronica! She got Sasha’s big eyes and is just adorable! She looks like a cartoon character with those eyes. Her personality is 7/2/10/6/10. She’s our only nice sim of the generation, and, like her uncle Sid, she tops the scale.

Like her siblings before her, Veronica learns to walk right there in the kitchen after her birthday. Lexie and Vanessa were close to friends and Vanessa wanted to make a friend, so they hang out to get that relationship up high enough.

Now that’s she old enough, Veronica gets to play with her older siblings to make friends. She also becomes best friends with Sasha from kisses and tickles.

While Vincent trudges up the stairs, Vance and Vanessa race to their first day of school.

Now that they’re children, Vance and Vanessa can start the really hard skilling. They learn how to do their homework from Hayden and Palmer, and then retire to the Couch of Skilling to study up.

I am kind of in love with Veronica. She is just so cute with those big eyes. They do look really different on a sim without green skin, though. It’s a pity we didn’t have anyone carrying on Sasha’s green skin.

When she reached head of the SCIA, Sasha also met a major financial milestone. Meanwhile, Hayden has become a space pirate, fulfilling his second LTW. He now wants to be a mad scientist again.

While her older siblings are studying grown-up skills, Veronica has some skilling of her own to do. Her family also finds plenty of time to spend with her, whether that’s playing with the Wabbit head or tickling her.

Vincent’s aspiration was getting low and he rolled a want for this, so I went for it. Considering his baby and toddler years, I was really surprised that he didn’t throw up afterwards. Maybe he’s finally over that stage. Thank goodness.

Vincent has gotten all of his skills up to scholarship levels or above, so he’s free to goof off while the other two keep studying. He dances with Hayden long enough to get invited to the music and dance hobby club. That’s a lot of dancing.

Veronica, the youngest of the generation, has another birthday.

She’s still lovely. She takes to dressing a little bit punk-lite to try to fit in with her mean siblings, but it’s not fooling anyone.

Sammy was present for the birthday and they start gossiping about Palmer’s sister-in-law, their aunt. Palmer! Didn’t you raise your daughter better than that?

“No, that’s pretty much exactly how I raised her.”

Veronica now gets to join Vance and Vanessa on the Couch of Skilling while Vincent plays pinball for hours at a time. Growing up in the fall was a good idea, Vincent.

Vance has picked up on one of the household hobbies and starts writing in his diary, only to worry about Veronica reading it.

Lexie and Hayden perform the famous and stirring “Pajama Sonata.”

I missed Veronica heading off to school, but here she is coming home, unimpressed with her C+.

The kids continue to bring home relatives. Peter and Morris Jr., top right and bottom right respectively, are frequent visitors like all of Lydia and Morris’ children. Madison also came over a lot but I missed taking a picture of her. Just for something different, Emilio, another generation 6-er and son of the other Madison Vermachtnis, stops by too.

Once Veronica has learned her homework and gotten her grade up, we invite the headmaster over. It’s just in time, too, because Vincent is set to grow up tonight.

However, there’s a problem. The headmaster glitched and refused to come in off the porch, come to dinner, or even to talk to Hayden. I forced an error on him and he disappeared, and by then it was too late to invite him back over. At least the scenario disappeared too, so we didn’t fail it. Guess Vincent won’t be getting in to private school before his birthday.

But first! Time for a drink! There’s always time for a drink in the Vermachtnis house!

Everyone is in attendance for Vincent’s birthday. He grows up well, of course.

Vincent is Romance/Fortune with the LTW to be a Criminal Mastermind. Finally one of my mean sims wants a mean job! Vincent gets one piece of cake and no makeover before being shipped off to college.

First, though, the girls have to stop playing catch in the street right in front of the van. Vincent had to leave for college right away because I had a plan.

A plan to get at least five Vermachtnises in this generation, that is. Sasha got pregnant immediately after Vincent left and whipped up a batch of cheesecake. If we’re going for one more, why not make it two? Veronica is still quite a young child so the new babies won’t be that far behind.

The soothing sounds of the “Pajama Sonata” are once again heard throughout the house, though this time it’s the twins playing it. Vance even maxes his creativity!

Okay, this? This is enough to make a girl turn her speakers off.

Headmaster take two the next day. This time everything goes as planned: he eats salmon by himself, tours the bathrooms, and chats with Hayden and the kids get in with points to spare.

And don’t they look darling in their new uniforms?

Sasha has had some particularly bad morning sickness with this pregnancy. In fact, as you can see by the drab purple pajamas she’s wearing, she was still puking even after she’d had the first bump. I’ve never seen that before.

Everyone is delighted that there’ll be two more additions to the Vermachtnis family.

“Hayden – last chance – how about that backrub now?”“Sure, sweetie, I’d love one.”“Sigh.”

“Oh hee hee, stop tickling me, Palmer. Tee hee. Just kidding. Don’t stop.”

Hayden has the weirdest autonomous relationships with his in-laws.

Time for two more teens in the family!

Vance grew up to look just like Vincent, which is to be expected since they’re clones. The real surprise is Vanessa, who grew up extremely pretty. She’s a great mix of her parents.

Vance is Pleasure/Family with the want to have 50 first dates.Vanessa is Romance/Popularity, and she wants to be a Visionary. You can probably guess which one of these I like better.

I was going to keep the teens around for a little while to become overachievers since all the adults want that, but they both set about being extremely useless, and pleasure aspirations drive me crazy. That was actually a want of his – to juggle bottles. Argh. Time for college, you two.

Vance and Vanessa head off to college, leaving only Veronica and the growing fetuses behind.

Sasha once again goes into labor in an awkward corner, and while she’s preparing the first baby for the handoff, Lexie and Hayden start goofing off again.

This time I clicked on Choose … Twins, since I knew with the cheesecake she was supposed to have twins, and I got what I wanted. Plus, this time we finally got a baby with green skin! Both little girls have brown hair and eyes, though. On the left is Valerie and on the right is Victoria.

I totally keep forgetting that I downloaded this stuff. The babies are adorable using it, though. I took an embarrassingly large number of pictures of them chewing on their toes and batting at the mobile, but I’ll only subject you to these two.

That is a big no-no, missy. You get down this instant!

And that’s where I’ll leave you for now, though another chapter will be out soon. Will Sasha and Hayden be able to raise their newest babies even though they’re almost elders? How will sweet little Veronica grow up? What will Valerie and Victoria look like when they age? For these questions and more, check back next time and don’t forget to visit at SiMania!
