First off, we have sightings from Mao's Black Widow Challege. (Click on photos to see them full size in another window.)

For those not familiar with the story, this is Lillith. She's one of Aurora Black's children.

This is the oh-so-hot-and-broody Vlad *swoon* Black.

Next we have some sim-me sightings. These are all ladies who hang out in LegacyLand.

Cameron's Crew

2006-07-06T16:43:00.000-04:00

Cameron was fairly unhappy while living with his brother and sister-in-law. Who could blame him? Caleb and Jasmyn were always running around acting like teenagers, making out, and woo-hooing all the time. He wanted to get married too. Preferably to a rich woman, but he wasn't getting any younger, so he figured he'd take what he could get.

He still had some of his inheritance money from Grandpa Aaron and Grandma Andrea, so he paid that crazy gypsy lady to help him find a date. At §5,000 a pop, one would think that the woman could find him someone spectacular, but all she could find for him were women way past their child-bearing primes. Three times he paid for a date and each time he received an elder. He was disgusted with this waste of money and vowed he could find someone better on his own.

One day, while shopping, he ran into this stunning woman named Chris. She had long black hair, and was wearing a long black evening ensemble complete with gloves and a scarf. She was something!! She even agreed because she periodically would stop whatever she was doing and check herself out in her hand mirror! Cam knew this woman had to become his so he introduced himself and offered to take her out to dinner. They had a fabulous date and she agreed that she and Cam belonged together.

They were quickly married and found a large house across the street from Jasmyn and Caleb. Cam was very close to his nieces and nephews and wanted to remain nearby.

Cam knew he would die before his brothers and sister. So many disappointments had prematurely aged him. He and Chris decided to start their family right away. Before long the children started arriving: Derek, Destiny, Donatella, and finally Douglas. Chris graciously consented to stay home after each child's birth so that Cam could make as much money as possible. ***IW §100,000*** After Douglas' birth, Chris was finally able to work on making her dream come true. She wanted to be a Criminal Mastermind.

Cam passed away before he could see all his children grown up, but he died a very happy and wealthy man.

Caleb and Jasmyn

2006-07-06T15:54:00.000-04:00

***Caleb Callihan - second son of Baxter and Prof. Cara Callihan - Knowledge - LTW: Max out 7 skills - Cancer: 7, 1, 6, 4, 9. Jasmyn Callihan - uni townie - Knowledge - LTW: Become Criminal Mastermind - Pisces: 5, 3, 7, 3, 7 ***

Caleb met Jasmyn in college. They quickly fell in love, found a small house to move into together, and became engaged. They both had the same long term goals; to know as much as possible about the sim universe. Caleb graduated a year ahead of Jasmyn, went back to Legacy, and found them a modest home. He then found himself a job and waited until Jasmyn graduated.

Jasmyn moved in with Caleb immediately after graduation and Caleb's brother, Cameron, moved in with them when he graduated to help with the bills. After Cameron moved in with them, they moved to a larger house.

Caleb and Jasmyn remained deeply in love and constantly wanted to be together. ***Simmer's note: I'm not sure how many bolts they had as adults, but as elders, they still have two for each other. This couple was the first group of knowledge sims I had ever seen that almost always had a want to woo-hoo in bed or have a baby. Because I was working for Baxter's IW of 20 grandkids, I indulged them! Tee Hee ***Danielle was born first, then Delaney, Delilah, Dmitri, and finally Donovan. All of their children are currently at uni except Donovan. He's the last of the fourth generation Callihans to leave for college.

In the meantime, Cameron was feeling like a third wheel. His brother and sister-in-law were constantly making goo-goo eyes at each other and making out like teens. He seriously wanted to marry a rich woman (or any woman for that matter), so he called up the strange gypsy woman who promised "true love." Three times he called on her to help him find a date and paid her as much as possible. Three times she sent him a different old lady. How on sim earth was he to have his own family if he didn't have a young woman to be his wife? He finally managed to run into a striking woman dressed in a long black evening gown, complete with gloves and a scarf. He wined her and dined her until she agreed to become his wife. But that's a different story.

After Cameron found his lady love, he moved out so that Caleb and Jasmyn could raise their children without him in the way.

Jasmyn in hers. She is still very striking, I think.

Caleb managed to learn everything he could ***with some help from the sim-vac and their maid*** and Jasmyn reached the pinnacle of her chosen field. Jasmyn also had help getting her required skills in the same manner. One by one the children grew and left home for college. They did have to find a new house because many strange things were happening where they lived.

Cade's Crowd

2006-07-05T12:36:00.000-04:00

Cade Callihan was a romance sim. His major goal in life was to become a Hall of Famer. He went to college to make achieving his goal easier and while there began romancing anyone who was open to his advances. He also joined Delta Gamma Pi, the Greek house his grandfather had founded.

After graduation he found his own little place on Spare Lane where he continued his romancing ways. He met a lovely lady named Lauren Reeves, one of the local pizza delivery people, through this strange gypsy lady who came to his door offering to find his "true love" for a price. Cade wasn't really looking for "true love," but if a blind date would score him some woo-hoo, then he was all for it. His funds were limited since he had just bought his house so he wasn't able to pay the gypsy lady as much as she wanted, but Lauren came hurtling from the sky anyway.

Cade and Lauren went on their date and even though the gypsy wouldn't promise it could be successful since he had cheaped out on her, the date was just dreamy. Cade and Lauren managed to score a woo-hoo in a photo booth, and then she came home with him and woo-hooed him at home.

Soon Cade asked Lauren to move in with him. He knew he wasn't cut out to be a family guy, but he wasn't ready to give her up yet. Lauren soon became pregnant and shortly afterward gave birth to David.

Even though Lauren had given Cade a son, she knew that he was not the kind of man to stay faithful to her forever and she wanted to get married and have more children. She had a friend named Pierce Go to whom she became very close. Soon she had fallen in love with Pierce and she left Cade to marry him.

Cade felt that Lauren had only married Pierce, who was quite a bit older than she, solely for security and he continued his affair with her even after she had a little girl named Pricilla with Pierce. Cade and Lauren had three more children together, Davis, Dennis and Duncan.

Cade continued to seek out as many lovers as he could, but little David didn't like him much and needed a mother figure, so he convinced Ivy Copur to move in with him. Cade was quite a manly man and manage to impregnate Ivy as well and Ivy gave birth to twins, ? and Dominique.

After the birth of the twins, Cade took care to only seek out new lovers when Ivy was at work and the children at school, but that didn't leave him many windows of opportunity. As he grew older, he started focusing more on his children's future.

He started a home-based business selling toys and flowers and even charged people for the privilege of visiting his store and hanging out with his family. The business was quite successful and he passed it along to Dominique upon his death. Dominique was still a teen though and she really wanted to attend college, so Ivy watched after the store until Dominique could graduate and run it herself.

Bailey's Bunch

2006-07-02T17:18:00.000-04:00

***Simmer's note: All houses in the Legacy neighborhood are played by NL legacy rules with the exception of having the InTeenimator installed and the use of OFB items in the satellite houses. InTeenimator is only used for the option of teens being able to woo-hoo since I feel it's more true to life. (Extra note: It will not be used to get a teen pregnant if it would give an advantage to the main family.)***

Bailey and Stephan on their first date.

Bailey Callihan married Stephan the Delivery Man. Bailey was a driven career woman who wanted very much to become a Hall of Famer. Stephan was also driven, but he wanted to become Chief of Staff of Legacy Memorial Hospital. They decided to keep their family small so that they could focus on their chosen careers.

Before long, little Carly came along. Stephan thought knowledge was extremely important so he was the one to teach Carly how to walk, talk, and use the potty. Bailey thought connections were important so she was the one who insisted that Carly be admitted to private school. Shortly after Carly became a student at Legacy Preparatory, Bailey was eaten by her brother's cowplant. ***Simmers note: No one (That's right not one sim) grieved for Bailey when she was eaten by the cowplant. Carly has no memory of Bailey's death, so I'm not really too sure when it actually happened. For story purposes, I have Carly still being a little girl and the death of her mother causing her to turn to men for comfort.***

Stephan was so focused on reaching the top of the hospital food chain, that little Carly was closer to her nanny than she was to her own father. When Carly became a teenager, she was missing both her mother's love and her father's attention, so she sought love the only way she could think of: from other men.

She met a cute young man at school named Ricky Cormier and she knew that she and Ricky were destined to become lovers. They dated all through high school and continue their love affair through college as well. Make no mistake though, Ricky was not a one woman (or man for that matter) man. Carly didn't care that Ricky wasn't entirely faithful to her as long as she didn't know about it. In all honesty, she didn't have the right to be jealous, because she was also out romancing anyone who would succumb to her charms.

After graduation, Carly moved back to her family home and Ricky found his own place on Satellite Avenue. Although they lived in separate houses, Carly and Ricky spent a lot of time together. Carly continued to seek companionship from other people, but Ricky was her one true love.

Stephan was still totally focused on reaching the top of his career and he had added a new obsession. He wanted to be an inventor. After he had absorbed as much knowledge as possible, he started working on building robots. He started off building a robot that would help clean up the house. Then he built one that would water the plants. Next he discovered he could build a robot that would guard the house from intruders and those pesky people who would not stop knocking over the trash and stealing the newspaper. After he invented the sentry-bot, he built a robot that could sense when someone in the family was close to starvation and would go for pizza or Chinese food. His masterpiece, however, was a robot that functioned just like a human. Except for having babies. He named his latest creation ServoSteve. Stephan built ServoSteve to be just like him, a seeker of knowledge.

This is the sentry-bot zapping someone who was trying to steal the newspaper.

While Stephan was puttering around in his workshop building his robots, Carly became more and more distant with him. She was always mad at him about something. ***I have no idea why, but they ended up shoving each other all the time and eventually became enemies.*** Ricky was over more than ever. One day, Carly woke up feeling like crap. She was dizzy and she immediately ran to empty her stomach after eating. She thought that maybe all the stress from fighting with her dad was finally starting to get to her. She thought wrong. Something had happened one time when she was woo-hooing with Ricky and now she was pregnant with his child. She loved Ricky, but she knew that he didn't want to be a family man so she continued to live her life the way that she always had.

The time for the baby to be born had finally come and to Carly's great surprise, she had twins! A boy named Dallas and a girl named Danielle. Stephan was a much better grandfather than he had been a father. Carly taught both the twins how to walk and Danielle how to potty, and Stephan taught them the rest of their toddler skills.

The years flew by and the twins grew into children. Carly continued her wild ways. She had taken up with the brother of one of her old college friends, Quinten Curtin. To her dismay, safe sex isn't always a safe as a Romance sim would want it to be. ***This was a genetic experiment. I wanted to see what color eyes the baby would have. Quinten's are a bright blue.*** Soon little Dori was born.

After Dori's birth, Carly became tired of being a single parent and she really wanted to marry Ricky. ***This was the first time I had ever seen a romance sim roll up a want to get married.*** They were married at Carly's family home with their children present. The years continued to quickly pass and the twins grew into attractive teens and then Dori became a teen as well. Dallas wanted to be very knowledgeable like his grandfather, Danielle wanted to be well-liked, and Dori wanted to love as many people as possible. Stephan passed away. Carly and Ricky are now empty-nesters, waiting for their children to graduate from college and come home.

Baxter's Brood

2006-06-30T19:36:00.000-04:00

Professor Cara after her marriage to Baxter.

Baxter and Cara had four children all back to back, but Bax was a family man and would have had ten if Cara had allowed it. Cara loved having children too, but she was intent on learning everything she possibly could. More sim time passed and soon the children were potty-trained, walking, and talking one by one. The years continued to pass by rapidly and soon the children were all teens. Cade became quite the ladies man, Caleb took after Cara in the pursuit of knowledge, Cameron had high hopes of someday being rich, and Celeste was a girl that everyone wanted to know. Each of the teens worked very hard and went away to college with §9,500 in scholarships.

Cade continued to pursue the ladies, while Caleb absorbed knowledge like a sponge. Cam studied finance furiously and Celeste tried to befriend everyone she met. Cade was too busy romancing people to fully concentrate on his studies. Caleb had met a very attractive young woman named Jasmyn and right away he knew that he would spend the rest of his life with her. The young couple soon found a modest house they could share and lived there until their graduation. They became engaged while living together, moved in together immediately after Jasmyn was finished with college, and were quickly married. Cameron moved in with the happy couple to save money after his education was complete. Celeste lived in the dorm until right before graduation. She was a force to be reckoned with. Not only was she the Big Sim on Campus, but she also managed to keep her grades up, even with her endless socializing, and graduated Summa Cum Laude. Cade was the only one of Baxter's brood who didn't concentrate fully on his studies and missed out on the highest honors.

Celeste had met the family's maid, Remington, while she was a teenager. Like many young girls, she had a crush on the man who helped her parents keep their house neat and clean. While in college, she invited Remington to one of her parties. The party was a bust, but Celeste didn't care about that. She had captured Remington's heart. When she returned home from college, she set about making sure the world knew about their love. She was the third generation to be married in the family's wedding garden.

Shortly after the birth of their first son, Damien, one of Celeste's mysterious friends had come to visit. The visitor had strange gray skin, was always covering her mouth with her arm, and had an alarming habit of stalking around muttering "Bleh." She called herself Contessa Nikki and she took quite a liking to Baxter. Perhaps too much of a liking, since she bit him. What was most strange was that after Nikki took a chunk out of Bax, he became just like her.

Cara was upset that her husband was of the undead variety and wanted very much to be like him, but Bax refused. Cara was the love of his life and he thought she deserved more than being a creature of the night. She had aged quite gracefully and he hated the thought of her peaches and cream complexion turning gray.
Cara as an elder.

Cara was very upset and turned to her special friend, Rusty the Reindeer, for comfort. Unfortunately, Rusty turned out to dispense comfort of the eternal variety, and Cara was brutally electrocuted. ***Simmers note: Cara was already perma-plat & I was quite ignorant that only sims who die of old age have platinum graves. Poor Cara, it took something like six tries for her to die :( *** Bax was inconsolable when Grimmy came to get Cara and stood outside in the sunlight until Grimmy came for him as well.

Celeste and Remington felt that since they were planning to indulge Remington's desire for a large family there was no way they could raise the children on their own and Bax was resurrected.

Even though Bax was devastated at Cara's untimely death, he was elated that his daughter and son-in-law were going to carry on his father's legacy. He himself wished for six grandchildren. ***Lucky for Bax, his controller decided to indulge him.***

Celeste and Remington had Damien and Daniel before Celeste started fussing. She wanted to be wildly popular as a Hall of Famer. Remington convinced her that she needed a lot of friends to be successful in her chosed field, and he pointed out to her that she'd have more opportunity to make friends if she stayed home with the children. She agreed to stay home for a few more years and before she knew it, another baby was on the way. To their immense surprise, there were two babies in there. Dawn and Debra had arrived. Celeste agreed to have one more baby and soon Dirk was a part of the family as well.

Bax was over the moon! Only one more and he would have his six grandbabies! Remington on the other hand, was very disappointed. He was also a family man and his dream was dying a slow death. In the meantime, Celeste had managed to score her thirtieth best friend! ***Simmer's note: This is the real reason Celeste's LTW had to wait! I wanted her to score her IW. ***

<-Baxter and Bailey / Bailey's Bunch->

Baxter and Bailey

2006-06-28T20:29:00.000-04:00

Several years had passed and Baxter and Bailey were now ready for school. As with all good sim parents, Aaron and Andrea wanted only the best for their children, but since Andrea was a fortune sim, this meant that things had to be stepped up a notch. Her children had to attend private school. The headmaster was called, the house was cleaned, and a delicious dinner was being planned. The headmaster had just arrived, but alas, someone had caught the house on fire while attempting this marvelous feast. The headmaster was appalled and denied Baxter and Baily entrance to his prestigious school. This was just too much for poor Andrea. She went into immediate needs failure and the good Dr. Hoo had to treat her for her anxiety disorder.

At some point later down the road, the twins were finally admitted to the most elite school in the city and Andrea felt they had arrived. Time passed very quickly in Legacy. Each year felt like only minutes and soon the twins were teens and preparing for college. Aaron was started to feel old. He already felt like he had accomplished so much. He had finally reached the pinnacle of his career, his wife was very successful, and his beautiful children were about to leave home for the first time. Since he knew nothing about his past, he wanted the future generations to have a sense of where they had come from. He commissioned a famous artist to come and paint portraits of the family.

This is the founder Aaron Callihan as an elder. (Unfortunately, I forgot to do paintings until he had become one.)

Baxter as a teen.

The twins worked hard at skill building and headed off to college, where the next four years sped by unremarkably. They both became members of the Delta Gamma Pi and both became engaged in college. Bailey to the delivery guy, Stephan Something-or-other (I don't remember his last name & didn't write it down. Sorry folks.) and Baxter to Professor Cara Whats-her-name (you get the idea). Baxter returned home to the family estate after graduation while Bailey found her own little villa and starting planning her life with Stephan.

Baxter and Professor Cara were married in the family's wedding garden, while Bailey and Stephan were married at their own home.

Bax was a family guy, Prof. Cara was all about knowledge as was Stephan, and Bailey took after her mother in the pursuit of the almighty simoleon. Now Andrea had died without realizing her dream of making §100K, but she did die after living a very fulfilling life (in platinum), but Aaron did reach his goal before he died.

Baxter had told Cara how imporant having a dynasty was to Aaron and how he wanted to honor his dad by having many children. Cara wasn't disagreeable to having a bunch of children but she really wanted to learn everything that she possibly could.

In the little house on Spare Lane, Bailey and Stephan had also discussed what they wanted out of life. Bailey wanted to be a Hall of Famer and Stephan wanted to be Chief of Staff. Bailey felt that having too many children would ruin her chances for a super-star career, but she was egotistical enough to want to see herself in another. Stephan didn't really care one way or the other. He was perfectly happy with just Bailey. Soon little Carly came along. "Such a beautiful angel, our family is blessed with attractiveness," Bailey thought. But one day, before Bailey really had a chance to form the young girl, tragedy struck.

Back on Founder Drive, Baxter and Cara were going about the daily business of living. Cara loved having children. First there was Cade, then Caleb, then Cameron, and finally little Celeste. All four were little blonde cherubs. One day, Bailey came to visit. Right away she went out back to look at the strange thing Bax had brought home from work with him. It ate her.
Bessie the Cowplant.

After Bailey's untimely death, Baxter had a fence put around old Bessie, so she couldn't eat another unlucky family member or visitor for that matter. Poor Carly ended up growing up without her mother's influence and turned to men for comfort (romance).

Aaron Callihan was dumped off at Academie le Tour the day he graduated from high school. He had no family or even a memory of one. He had no idea where he had come from. Some say it was from foster care, others claim that he had been part of a secret government experiment. No one really knows for sure what the truth is.

Since Aaron had no positive memories of growing up, he decided to dedicate his life to pursuing a life of pleasure. His goal was to become a professional party guest, but first he had to finish college. Since his every waking thought involved things that were pleasurable, he decided to found a Greek house. What could bring more pleasure to generations of college sims than that? He needed money to be able to rent a house to charter, so he waited until his sophomore year to do the deed.

Aaron's Greek house, Delta Gamma Pi, soon became party central. To a sim whose only ambition in life was to party hearty, the situation couldn't have been better. There was always something pleasurable to do there. Jumping on the sofa seemed to be a full-time job for Aaron. When he wasn't doing that, he was in the hot tub, wearing his jammies, or blowing bubbles.

Soon four years had passed and Aaron became a fully grown man, in body, if not in attitude. He wanted something substantial to leave as a legacy to his descendants, so he left the Academie and bought a huge plot of land in the Legacy neighborhood to start his dynasty. After buying the land, Aaron discovered there wasn't much money left to buy a house or things to put in said house, so he lived on the lawn for awhile. He was lonely, but he quickly met a beautiful young woman named Andrea Hogan and was wildly attracted to her. One of the things they had in common was a love of the good life, but they did have different goals to achieve. In Andrea's case, the good life involved all the things that money could buy and she wanted to be rich more than anything else (wealth, earn §100K). After a sim-week, she consented to become his bride and brought some much needed cash to the household. The recent influx of cash allowed Aaron and his new wife to build a modest house.

In order to give Andrea every opportunity to realize her life-long dream, they decided to have children right away and limit themselves to two. As luck would have it, Andrea's first pregnancy resulted in twins. (Pre-OFB, no cheesecake.) The happy couple named their babies Baxter and Bailey. Baxter resembled his dad and Bailey took after Andrea.

The early years were very difficult. Aaron and Andrea were both feverishly working towards their life goals, but times were tough for the young couple with two young children and not enough money for a nanny to help with the youngsters. Even though their early years weren't easy, Baxter and Bailey managed to grow up well into beautiful children.

This is Destiny Callihan. She is the niece to my current heiress, Celeste Callihan. I thought the expressions on her face were funny.

Destiny Callihan again. I've heard of having a monkey on your back, but she has a bunny on hers.

This is Caleb Callihan and friend when they were at uni. Again, I thought the expression on his face was funny.

This could be quite an issue when trying to use the potty.
