Edited to Add: Cortney Schultz, Precious Joy's spouse, was originally Silver RenameMe, created by CravenLestat (AKA 9722cce410c84e2a ) - I changed his hair, some of his traits, and his clothing for my gameplay.
Brody and Michell Forsythe are now both elders. I am not sure which of their children to make the heir. Could I get your opinions?
Cheri Forsythe: Cheri (Flannagan) Forsythe is the daughter of Martin Flannagan and Michell Arellano. Brody adopted her into the Forsythe family when she was born. (For context, Martin Flannagan and Michell's great-grandfather, David Arellano, were both created by TinySpaceFox and sent to me directly with Martin's dog Phoenix. I included David in the world at the beginning of my game, and added Martin much later.)
Cheri is four days into her young adulthood. She is a Capricorn, loves the outdoors, is brooding, disciplined, family-oriented, and a virtuoso. She likes spaghetti with veggie sauce, Egyptian music, and the color red.
Her lifetime wish is One Sim Band. She is currently at level 7 in guitar and piano, and level 6 in bass and drums.
Her romantic interest from high school is Ernest Peterson, who is an imaginary friend, the son of Patrick Peterson, Brody's imaginary friend. Their relationship hasn't gone any further because I don't want an IF in the family tree.
She recently had a date with Elvis Forte, a townie. They met at the graveyard, and the date didn't end until after sunup. They are the same age and are now romantic interests after Cheri asked him to break up with his girlfriend. He broke up with Juanita Douglas, but Cheri didn't get the chance to ask him to be her boyfriend.
Clara Forsythe Clara is the eldest daughter of Brody Forsythe and Michell Arellano.
Clara is a teenager with eight days until her birthday. She is a Scorpio, disciplined, good, artistic, and friendly. She likes vegetarian lobster thermador, Geek Rock music, and the color hot pink.
Her lifetime wish is to become a Hit Movie Composer. When she ages up, she will get the virtuoso trait and join the music career.
She doesn't currently have any romantic interests. Perhaps she will meet someone before her next Prom. She has taken an interest in sculpting and has improved to level 3. Because she is good, she hasn't attempted to set any pranks.
Chance Forsythe Chance is the son of Brody Forsythe and Michell Arellano.
Chance is a child, three days from becoming a teenager. He is a Gemini who is absent-minded, loves the outdoors, and is a cat person. He likes vegetarian lobster thermador, Soul music, and the color pink.
He has the lifetime wish to Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder. This wish appeared while playing today.
Colleen Forsythe, daughter of Brody's cousin, Daron Forsythe, and Florence Servis, is his best friend. He wants to throw a slumber party.
He also wants to adopt a cat, but the family already has three of them. Now two, since their eldest cat, Dawson, just passed away.
Who do you think should be the heir of the next generation?
Since I was completely undecided about who should be the next heir, I spun a random wheel with 8 wedges. Cheri, Clara, and Chance each had two wedges, with the remaining two wedges being respins.
It was close, but the final results were as follows: Cheri: 10 Chance: 8 aClara: 7
Cheri has been chosen as the next heir.
Cheri is 37. She is a Capricorn who loves the outdoors, is brooding, disciplined, family-oriented, and a virtuoso. She likes spaghetti with veggie sauce, Egyptian music, and the color red.
There were two contenders for the affections of her heart. Elvis Forte and Ernest Peterson are her current romantic interests. Ernest Peterson is out of the picture, since he is an imaginary friend, and I do not want an imaginary friend in my bloodline.
If my Sims 3 game cooperates, Elvis will be Cheri's husband and carry on the legacy with her.
Elvis is 37. He is a Gemini, a supernatural fan, a couch potato, hot-headed, good, and a daredevil. He likes spaghetti with veggie sauce, Hip-Hop music, and the color sea foam.
NOTE: I know my game is currently on the 4th generation. However, I decided to include the original Forsythe legacy bloodline. Since Precious Joy was the 10th-generation heir, that would make Angelia the 11th-generation heir, Brody the 12th-generation heir, and Cheri the 13th-generation heir. I will be renumbering my story chapters to reflect the change. If you notice the large gap between Precious Joy: Gen 4.21 and Precious Joy: Gen 13, please be assured that you haven't missed any story chapters.
Brody: Ratchet had a visitor. Chance had a play date with my cousin Daron's daughter, Colleen. Cheri works hard on her music. Clara's imaginary friend became real. My nephew Cade is a young adult. Cheri went on a date. My half-brother Carson's son Cody has sticky fingers. My cat Dawson died this afternoon. I am heartbroken. Michell and I are trying to choose our heir to carry on the family legacy.
Michell has become an elder. Peaches had a date with Tremayne Peterson. Brylee Berg and Billie Archer are getting married. Martin Flannagan was playing for tips at the Salon. He is a skilled guitar player. I see where Cheri gets her talent. Michell was promoted. Cheri has been seeing Elvis Forte, the son of Michell's boss. We have chosen Cheri as the next heir to our legacy.
This post was published shortly after Who Will Be the Next Heir. Rather than keep you in suspense, I decided to publish this one right away.
You will notice that it went from Generation 4.21 to Generation 13. This is because I have decided to include the entire lineage of the Forsythe Legacy back to my founder, Precious Forsythe. Precious Joy Forsythe was the 10th-generation heir. Her daughter, Angelia, was the 11th-generation heir, Brody was the 12th-generation heir, and Cheri became the 13th-generation heir.
Cheri: I broke up with Ernest. Chance is a teenager. Dad is painting my portrait. Ratchet caught a bluebird. With Dawson gone, maybe she won't get eaten like my last bird. Chance made his imaginary friend, Sunni, real. Mom and Dad went to his cousin Daron's house for a party. Chantel and Colleen are teenagers, and Claude is a toddler. Mom fixed the stereo when she got home. Peaches did some laundry. Clara built a sand castle.
I've been practicing my instruments and am now in the more advanced books. The family spends a lot of time watching me play. I received some gifts in the mail from friends. I took over the gardening from Mom. She needs to slow down. Ernest didn't nurse his broken heart for long. He and Tasha Archer are married. Cousin Chantel came home with Chance after school. They played video games before doing their homework. Dad had finished another book and was hard at work on The Descendants of Precious Forsythe, a historical novel about our family. Peaches had a bad date. I got promoted at work. I like Sunni's new hairstyle. Dad mastered writing while Mom jammed on her bass. Sunni did laundry.
Clara, Chance, and I had dates this evening, and they all ended differently. I went on a date with Elvis Forte, Clara met Heath McGee at the military base, and Chance ran into Alanna Douglas-Strong at the mini warehouse.
The four teens went to Prom together. Chance and Alanna went together. Everyone except Flora rode in a limo to the school. Clara and Sunni couldn't get anyone to dance with them. Sunni and Chance were Prom Queen and King. Clara and Flora will be graduating soon. Cheri played for tips, and Lorie Douglas-Strong attacked Cheri for convincing Elvis to break up with Lorie.
Uncle Jamal died outside the theatre. Chance was visiting our cousins' house when the police knocked on the door and busted him for breaking curfew! Dad grounded him, but Chance did some chores, and Mom let him off the hook. Mom painted Clara's portrait. Ratchet and Ember are elders. Flora and Peaches moved out. Cousin Cade Douglas and Noemi Ainsworth are expecting. His brother Carl has been seeing Mandy Arellano. Dad mastered painting and fulfilled his lifetime wish of illustrious author. We lost another gnome. Mom was promoted to vice president. Clara has been sculpting. Dad visited his cousin Daron Forsythe. Clara graduated.
The Forsythe family has moved to Glenvale County. Forsythe Manor was custom built. Many pictures were taken. Warning: There are 40 pictures in this post.
