hallows legacy 2.5

[alleliua]

So last update ended kind of abruptly, which I don't usually do but this time I was all "No, it'll be cool, I'll post the next update in like three days which isn't much of a delay" but then I got eaten by real life. Sorry 'bout that. Lets get on with this and finish it off - this'll be the final update, after which we can go to an heir poll when Carrie is kind enough to put one together.

Dear Mum and Dad,


Well.

Life, it seems, is full of new and strange experiences still.


Being a plantsim is strange, but strangely enjoyable.


And peaceful... as if I'm connected suddenly to something larger than myself that doesn't get very worried about anything at all.


Thankfully, Grace doesn't seem to mind too much.


She finally got a job in the dance career, which has been a lifelong dream of hers. It's pretty entry-level, but she's moving up the ranks like lightning.


Little CJ has reached childhood. It feels as if we're always celebrating something in this household.


Darling Romero is getting old, too. I hate to think of losing him.


CJ is such a bright, lively child.

And speaking of children...


I couldn't resist bringing a new little sapling into the world. Surely, in this household, there's plenty of love to go around.


So here's your newest and strangest grandchild, Kenneth.


He loves to be in the garden, out in the sunshine.

And if you thought the regular grandchildren grew up fast, you won't believe this one!


Bam! and he's an adult.


But still a total sweetheart!

He was desperate to join the garden club and meet other green-thumbed individuals
(although perhaps in a less literal sense.)


So we invited the members of the Rock Hudson Metrosexual Garden Club around to take a look.


And they liked what they saw!

Suddenly, it was time for another birthday...


Tucker






and Norma. My beautiful grown-up children.





All the better to understand what he calls "his roots," Kenneth decided to take an experimental treatment and explore his human side.




Only time will tell if he sticks with it.

Tell Lambert I love the curtains she sent me. We're going to try and catch up with her and her kids over Christmas, maybe you-all could find a way to come down too?

Lots of love, Ripley

Ripley is such a gorgeous plantsim! And kids are all amazing! Norma is super pretty, but i believe Kenneth is my favorite. I hope to get him as an heir... I'll just have to figure out how to play a gay male heir though.
Thanks for another pretty-picture-filled update and a great generation, Alle :) I loooooved reading your updates.

Yay! Glad you have enjoyed it all, I've certainly had fun playing it. I'm so pleased with how the kids came out. Kenneth is pretty adorable and I must admit I just love Tucker (it's a nose and cheekbones thing.)
As for the whole sexual orientation thing, well, that's what they randomised in my game, you're welcome to play them however you wish! I try to include as much info as I can just in case you want it.
