Gerard and Elizabeth’s twins grew up.
Older daughter, Michelle, almost immediately attacked Brew, the girl.
Luckily the animosity didn’t last long because Michelle grew to a teenager the next day.
After that Michelle didn’t care about Brew.
Brett Langerak’s step-daughter, Edwina, also grew to a teenager.
She started going steady with Lex Menon, Alexis’ son.
Alexis and Weylon, you may remember (or not) were terrible parents. Little Wayne didn’t even have a cot to sleep in and he and Lex had to take turns in sleeping in the only bed. Lex couldn’t go to university because he didn’t do his homework because he was busy looking after Wayne and doing his homework so he wouldn’t be taken away. Higher authorities decided to punish such terrible parents (and Alexis had a history of cruelty to toddlers). They were sent to a penitentiary which was built on a dark corner at the bottom of a hill in Downtown.
They’re locked in, apart, in solitary confinement with no entertainment. Let’s see how long it takes before they go mad.
Spliff and Mary Jane’s mother, Calista, died age 64.
Mary Jane went to uni soon after so now Reefer is alone. He reached the top of the Law career beforehand.
Mac Reiner and Fiona Danaher were getting to know each other before heading off to uni.
Also heading off to uni was John Lillard. His father, Mikhail, was getting into making robots.
Unfortunately it’s only succeeded in creating new weeds for the large property. The gardener will be busier than ever. It’s a pity you can’t hire more than one gardener.
Alexis, as we know, is not a good mother.
Weylon isn’t much better but he made sure their second son, Wayne, at least got fed.
Wayne had to sleep wherever.
Lex grew to teenhood and read Wayne stories and took care of him.
Lex hasn’t been doing his homework so he won’t be going to university any time soon. Wayne grew up so he no longer had to rely on parents for keeping him clean or fed.
Weylon is now president of a company. They had enough money to move into the house next door (which belonged to Kane Danaher). Lex and Wayne now have a bedroom each (and a train set in the basement!).
Meanwhile, scandal at Mikhail’s place. Mikhail became extremely suspicious when Sheila became pregnant because they hadn’t been woohooing lately. The resultant baby, Gerald, had red hair but that didn’t mean much…
because Sheila was into red-headed men. Yes, she’d been cheating and Mikhail found the telltale roses, etc. He forced her out of the house and she and the sprog have been relegated to the bin.
Mikhail had an affair with Brianna Langerak and actually invited her to live with him. After she did though, he discovered she was a day away from elderhood and he was still pretty young. Brianna moved back in with husband, Jacques.
Ok, so, another round of updates starting with the Lillard family.
John Lillard, son of Mikhail and Sheila, wanted desperately to play with the robot his dad made specially.
Unfortunately the robot was a dud and only made John cry.
John learned to walk and go to the potty and learned to talk too I think (can’t recall). Anyway he grew up well.
He’s blond – must be a throwback on his mother’s side…
His mother, meanwhile, did a spot of flirting with an ugly colleague while Mikhail was at work.
No accounting for taste…
John’s cousin, the unfortunate Lex, got no attention whatsoever.
Interestingly his mother’s relationship with him was in the red zone – she was “furious” with him apparently. Probably because of his whining but what could she expect?
You can see his cot was in the bathroom. Devoid of any toys at all, there was only one thing to do…
So naturally Lex grew up pretty badly.
He was naturally prone to tantrums.
His mother encouraged him to be grouchy and his father encouraged him to be lazy. Great parents.
Mikhail’s and Alexis’ half-sister, Elizabeth, was heavily pregnant to Gerard and had a baby – a girl she called Michelle.
But then she had another – a boy she called Robert.
We weren’t expecting twins!
Monique Langerak (Artois’ aunt) was finally promoted to Business Tycoon.
Her husband, Greg, already at the top of his career was perhaps just celebrating the fact that they’d both reached 75,
cos no-one was home to greet him.
Gerard, seen here cuddling under the stars with his fiancée, Elizabeth Lillard,
finally set a date for the wedding. They too decided to have it at the Parc d’amour in Bluewater village.
Cake sharing
Sim god makes note that more romantic seating should be arranged in the park.
For some reason Gerard and his father fought.
This parent-child fighting only seems to happen when the child lives at home with their fiancée/wife. Must be jealousy or something.
Gerard, therefore, decided to move out.
With a bit of motherloding they managed to move into Monique’s place of birth, formally Jean-Philippe’s place of residence. Heidi’s grave was still there so it was moved to Seaview Cemetery in Bluewater village.
The late Harriett and Luc Langerak’s youngest daughter, Briony, lived in apartments next door to her twin brother, Brett. She was good friends with an evil witch and asked to learn the ways of darkness. She became a witch.
Apparently this was a bad memory for her. Tough. The Sim god hadn’t made a witch before.
Briony started learning stuff.
Her mentor helped her out.
Briony had similar problems with ex-residents hanging around – in this case Antoinette and toddler, Grant, so she moved out too and bought herself a little cottage.
Perhaps she should have built a basement for the potion-making. Briony successfully cast a spell on a visiting neighbour, making her cluck like a chicken, much to the amusement of Artois who was there at the same time.
Amphyra deMarr finally had a boyfriend – Gavin Newson, currently still at uni.
Crappy pic, sorry – dunno why the red marker is there…
Alexis Menon (nee Lillard) had her baby - a boy she called Lex (after her dad). Weylon was left holding it, naturally.
The sleezebag tried flirting with Isobel again when she returned from work with him. She was having none of it.
Next door to the now empty seaside residence of the late Larissa Danaher, lived Alexis and her new husband, Weylon.
But oh dear. Contrary to Alexis’ plans, she found herself pregnant. Can you imagine the mother she’ll be?
Alexis found that her new husband was not as attentive as he might be.
Weylon, for his part, seemed bored.
His work colleague was Artois’ fiancée, Isobel. Weylon fancied her and tried to make a pass at her.
His advances were rejected.
Two new students turned up at Gerard’s dorm:
Elizabeth Lillard
Luka DeMarr
Luka naturally wanted to stand out from the crowd. He has aspirations of becoming a werewolf. (I’m not sure why he’s got a jaw thing happening – neither of his parents do.)
Gerard quite fancied Mikhail’s half-sister,
and Luka got to meet up with his girlfriend, Ginger Newson, who was finally free of screaming toddlers.
(Here’s an earlier pic of Luka and Ginger when they were teenagers. Ginger’s brother seems to fancy Celine Landgraab.)
Their relationships developed.
Luka had a high logic skill, so he was keen to get into the secret society to hack his grades. He got to know Miguel, Gerard and another couple of students. A limo turned up and a student started doing a chicken dance in front of Luka one night. This baffled him.
But then the guy turned him around and put the handcuffs on. And so Luka became another Volauvent Society member.
Finally, Luka could hack his grades.
He abled to stay online long enough to bring his grades up and not have to do any study. I imagine he’ll continue to do so.
Back at the dorm Mikhail had no success hacking his grades – the cop came over and gave him a lecture – so he just had to do the hard work himself. It didn’t take much. He graduated, had no party, and returned home to his stepmother, Robin, and stepsister, Elizabeth. I imagine they didn’t recognise him.
Mikhail first went about finding a job.
You can see immediately by his hair and clothes, that he’s nothing like his father. Mikhai is more conservative. He got a job as a surveillance operator.
Elizabeth left for university so that just left Mikhail and Robin. Mikhail visited his father’s grave.
He was upset and angry that his father died fairly young and that he wasn’t around to see his son graduate or get married.
He then invited Sheila Bachman over and asked her to move in. She did.
No, she’s not the best looking Sim but Mikhail liked her and I couldn’t be bothered searching for an alternative. Any kids they have might look a bit like what Mikhail is supposed to look like (because of Sheila’s big lips).
For some bizarre reason, Robin took an instant dislike to her.
Robin seemed to start the fights.
Well, that was it. Robin had to go. Mikhail had a word with her and she wisely chose to move out.
Robin moved to some newly built apartments in Bluewater.
To Mikhail’s surprise, Sheila suddenly proposed to him.
Mikhail accepted and they decided to have the wedding the very next day. It was another evening wedding. Despite the new cheat there was still a limit of two guests so I invited another person – there was no time to invite more.
Mikhail’s sister, Alexis was not invited – they seem to have lost touch – she wasn’t even on his list of contacts. Elizabeth was in limbo land at university so she couldn’t come and Robin, naturally, was not invited either. That left university students Gerard and Miguel. The extra guy above is the maid I think.
Akanami turned up during the ceremony.
After the wedding ceremony the couple discussed a few things (including, perhaps, Robin moving out).
So begins the life of the new Lillard patriarch.
Mikhail was impressed with what had happened to Gerard. Initially he’d been worried about stories that Gerard had been kidnapped and he hadn’t returned after a couple of days.
Gerard returns with Miguel
When he saw Gerard’s new face he was awed and wanted to join up so he could make a few changes himself.
He already knew Gerard and his friend, Miguel, so he only had one more secret society member to chat up. He chose Sheila Bachman who he ended up flirting with. But he’d also got to know a blazer-wearing student at the student centre just to be sure.
And sure enough he was handcuffed and taken away.
He got the same reception as Gerard – applause and a blazer for himself. He got to know a few of the students over dinner.
Mikhail soon discovered that none of the students cleaned up after themselves so he found that he had to clear away the tables and clean and unclog the toilet. He wasn’t particularly impressed. He seemed to spend most of his time cleaning to avoid being continually pissed off about his environment.
Mikhail tried the Grim Reaper phone too but got the same reception as Gerard. Apparently he didn’t know anyone who died (perhaps he was too young when his mother died or perhaps Death only counted friends at Academie le Tour, which makes sense – you couldn’t resurrect an adult at university).
Mikhail was in his senior year now and attempted to hack his grades as all this cleaning up didn’t leave him much time to do course work. His logic skills weren’t quite up to it though.
He did, however, finally achieve his first kiss with Sheila Bachman. At first she refused
but he flirted with her a bit more after his class and was successful.
Now with a platinum mood, he thought he’d try the face modulator…
The first attempt was a disaster. He ended up with small eyes spaced far apart, large bags under his eyes and balloon cheeks. His new ugly face horrified a couple of students looking on.
In desperation he tried again, but now, of course, I didn’t have his old face to work from so he has a completely new face with no inherited features.
This is unfortunate. As heir to the Lillard fortune, ideally he should look a bit like one of his parents but now he looks a complete stranger.
At any rate, Mikhail got tired of cleaning up after everyone. He decided to spend his last semester and a half at the dorm.
In the next update Mikhail graduates and returns home.
