Nimue Windling Dies by Old Age
With Achilles second pregnancy under way the house was now too crowded, so it was time for Ajax to leave. This left Mercury, the family zombie, Nimue and Martin my heir and her husband, Kennedy, who was rooming with the family until he earned §100,000, Achilles who was working on making 30 Best Friends, and his son Vishnu.
"Finally, safe from abduction!"
Not long after that Achilles gave birth to his second child, a daughter that I named Valkyrie.
"Whoa, she doesn't look anything like me at all."
Stuff quieted down after that and time passed more quickly. Before I knew it Valkyrie was a toddler.
"I can has more glowing bottles?"
Vishnu had managed to earn all his skill based scholarships (save for logic) and so spent the rest of his childhood painting masterpieces.
"And, I'll paint a happy little tree right over there!"
Soon Valkyrie joined him in childhood.
"Can't chat, gotta pee!"
But, not for long. Vishnu became a teen and I rolled Knowledge, with my absolute favorite Lifetime Want.
"What can I say? I'm easy to please. Look! Maxed another skill!"
Another Saturday rolls around.
First bloodline, fifth generation: from left to right across the back are Achilles, Mercury and Kennedy, across the front are Vishnu, Martin, Nimue and Valkyrie.
With so little going on in the house, really, it wasn't long before Vishnu was an overacheiver.
"It's easier then it looks."
And, was sent off to college, one less Sim to worry about.
"So, you can't have a double major? Are you sure?"
Also, while I was off playing college I moved in another townie, Randy London.
"I'm not sleepy, I just always look this way."
Finally! Kennedy managed to earn §100,000. That took long enough. I used my standard pre-OFB method and getting them into their LTW career and then getting them into Show Business which makes the most money. Then I had him personally sell all the paintings the household churned out.
"Totally awesome."
So, since he had just become too old to have any alien babies I kicked him out.
"Alright, alright, you can have the computer back. Jeez, you're intense."
It wasn't long after that when Martin managed to earn his 30th Best Friend, which of course left him feeling estatic and me with another legacy point.
"Can you hear me now? What do you mean this is a land line, what's that got to do with it?"
Time passed and soon Valkyrie became a teen. I rolled Fortune.
"I have no idea why I look so bummed about this."
Another Saturday rolls around.
First bloodline, fifth generation: in back is Mercury, from left to right across the middle are Nimue and Martin and across the front are Valkyrie and Achilles.
By then Valkyrie's teenhood was coming to an end, soon she was an overachiever.
"Pumping gas is so not overachieving."
And, being sent off to college.
"Maybe I'll finally start making some decent money afterwards."
Nimue was also drawing to her close. Soon it was time for her to leave for the great luau in the sky.
"What, Twikkii Island? Oh, wait..."
Achilles meanwhile had passed into elderhood and was finishing up working on his friend base.
"Vooo Gerbits!"
"Thanks for being my 30th Best Friend! Have a hug, eh?"
Wow, I was getting sloppy at this point, walls down and everything! But, this picture means that Achilles had made his 30 Best Friends and was now off to live at the little retirement home I had set up for my old alien baby's daddies.
"Well... as long as they have cable."
The last Saturday of first bloodline's fifth generation.
First bloodline, fifth generation: from left to right are Martin and Mercury. But, I bet you knew that.
At this point I dropped into triple time, with Mercury going back and forth between the energizer and the computer as usual to work on his novels while I had Martin take care of his needs and chat with his children to keep his social up while selling paintings in between. In fact with things going so fast I completely missed the death of Martin so the only picture I have to show for it is this:
So ends first bloodline's fifth generation.

Oh man, poor Martin he got no respect! I actually liked Nimue the best of all your heirs even though she got the least "screen time"- she was awesome! (She'll always stand out to me as the Heir that lost her mind during her cousin's wedding, that's priceless!) I see from your pop-up that you downloaded some default skins for your aliens, I thought that the ones that are on now were custom...? I also love the name Valkyrie, its transmits so much "power", LOL.

Yeah, Nimue is by far the prettiest heir I have ever had. I liked her a lot too. I wish I had gotten her a better looking husband, but alas I'm in this for points not looks.
Nope the current alien skins, well current in the blog anway, aren't custom, but I do have the females use special alien eyeshadow and lipstick that enhance the default skin and make it look loads better.
Currently in game I'm using Enyala's alien skins and I love them to bits.
