Reminisce

How did I ever let myself get away with not posting some of these awesome pictures? Because I'm lazy and forgetful, that's how. These are some of the previously unseen highlights from the Cygnus Legacy. You'll have to forgive me, I don't remember most of these guys' names. Anyway, these are snapshots of either way awesome or way hilarious moments that I thought deserved a glance.

Iapetus rocking out in the dorms.

Oceanus in bat form.

A dead Archimedes.

Sartre and ... Xeno?

Berkeley

The Charlatan in a grass skirt.

Some vacation pictures that didn't make the original cut. 

Ommmmm

Helios with an ax!

"Whoa, buddy. I'm not sure I want this 'present'."

Sssssspores!

Red Man glitch.

Hades chattin' it up with the penguin.

My first picture of a sim rolling his eyes back in his head. 

The Rest of College

Hephaestus and Nemesis are without beaus and are related to each other. I just realized what a massive undertaking this is. Forty sims to have twenty more kids, not counting twins, alien abduction and plant babies. To make things not so confusing, I've mapped out the couples and the singles so far. Roughly half of the eligible sims have coupled up (or the making of). I suspect Apollo and Tyche of trying to fall in love. It's not in the cards. Tyche is Eros' and Apollo is Hecates. I mean, they could trade. Eros and Hecae almost got together. There really wasn't anything for me to do with the third household, since most of their relationships were already established. By their third semester all the students had skilled enough to complete college and I fast forwarded through as much as I could. As lost as they kept the shrubbery in good standing they were free to do as they pleased. So much dating! I hardly wrote anything down for this one. Alright, so I switched around some of the couples to acclimate Nemesis and Hephaestus. This required that some couples go back to their original posting. I have it all written out... somewhere. hold on.

1. Hephaestus + Gaea
2. Tyche + Eros
3. Deimos + Nemesis
4. Carina + Dionysus
5. Apollo + Hecate
6. Hermes + Hemera
7. Peitho + Endymion
8. Thanatos + Selene
9. Hypnos + Persephone
10. Aquarius + Lepus
11. Typhon + Nyx
12. Hydra + Medusa
13. Pictor + Delphinus
14. Sextans + Aquila
15. Nike + Pan
16. Aether + Libra
17. Phobos + Tucana
18. Lupus + Virgo
19. Gemini + Terpsichore
20. Anteros + Vulpecula

I played the last two households withouth taking notes because it all becoming all so humdrum. I recall one of the girls being a total flake, though. Was it Vulpecula? I don't know. It was the one I labeled as nerdy, but she busted through that category into slutty flakedom.
So they've all graduated. Thank heavens. I can go back to the neighborhood and start making babies again.

College is Hell: Part Two

As I promised, here we are at Astraeus Auberge. Not the most eloquent estates, but the kids don't mind. I get to listen to metal the whole time I play this lot. "Get to." Their first day after completing their term papers, Phobos, being the friendly sort, invited the students from Menoetius Manor to meet him and his friends. The Manor is made up of Apollo and Tyche Cygnus, and Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes and Nemesis Seraph. We know Gaea and Tyche son't like each other, but Deimos is quite interested in Tyche. Nike really needs to meet people, too. She doesn't really do a good job, though. Deimos, however, is successful with Tyche.
The only student in this dorm that doesn't need to study is Gaea. The rest are  terribly defficient in that department. It works, though. Gaea has time to increase her relationship with Selene. She and Deimos and Phobos all know the spinster of Ebonwood, at least by association. Gaea coerced Selene and her household over fr the evening. Pan shares two bolts with Selene, and Aethershares one for Medusa. Phobos isn't interested in any of them.
Midterms went well, and Nike completes the skills she'll need to complete college. As a reward, Deimos invites Anteros over to meet her... She's not impressed. How is she not impressed!? He's totally foxy! Picky, picky, picky. Deimos reacquainted himself with Tucana and invited her and hers over to meet the boys. Let's hope Aether and Phobos have more luck with this crowd. And they do, oh my gosh. Phobos has three bolts for Tucana, Pan finishes his skills and procedes to chat up all the Seraph spinsters. He must be in heaven. Phobos effectively falls head over heals for Tucana, This pleases me. I'm glas he found a nice girl. Aether is quite taken with Libra. Gaea's had enough of this clam bake and invites over some men to even out the odds. Hypnos and Thanatos, if you must know. Yeah, the single ones.
Yes, they were introduced to Virgo and Terpsichore. Aether went on a date with Libra and Nike went on a date with Anteros. This batch has become one of Sophomores. All but two got bed upgrades with the money. Few days later they all complete the necessary skills to pass college and picked up their majors. Deimos shtooked Tyche and Nike had her way with ANteros after (And only after) They were engaged. Better save. The house has been uncharacteristically empty so Deimos invites over Tyche's household.
Oh... Pan and Carina are enemies. I wonder how that happened. Oh, poor Phobos. He was struck by lightning and his aspiration bottomed out. After some fiddling with attractions and re-nu-nu potions it has come to my attention that Nike and Pan share three bolts with each other. I explored their relationship cia a tentative date. I wasn't paying attention to the time. Nike had to go to class, but the two fell in love very quickly and regardless of its briefness, the date was dreamtastic. These two seem to be made for each other. Shows how much I know. A year after that, things get serious between Aether and Libra, and Phobos and Tucana. Engagement serious. And senior year the kids didn't invite a lot of poeple over. They spent a lot of their time studying for their dream jobs. Except Nike who just wants to be in a constant state of dream datery.
Gaea invited over Carina's household to solidify her relationship with Eros. Buh, they graduates I'm done with them! Next house

Gaea Seraph - Retro

Next up is Gaea Seraph. Remember, she was given Damascius and she looks like a ballerina. Parents are Canes Venatici and Leto, and they're both pleasure sims. Aside from the obligatory hookah they don't seem to want anything else. Leto invited the headmaster over for Gaea and her first day of school was exciting. She brought home a friend, little Delphinus, and Canes Venatici came home from work promoted to Party Guest, fulfilling his LTW. Headmaster Ryan was impressed with this family and Gaea joins the ranks of privileged young people.

To celebrate, Canes Venatici and Leto went on a date... in their kitchen. Then they moved the party to the car and.. ahem, had woopy in it. Thus sharing another delightfully dreamy day in marital bliss. That same day, Damascius grew into a pretty kitty with her moth's cute spots. Canes Venatici wastes no time beginning her training. Gaea brings home another little girl, little Vulpecula. She's a pop sim if ever there was one. Next day she brings home Aquarius. That's so weird. She brings home all these kids and she has 2/10 outgoing and 1/10 niceness. Weird.

So weird, too, these guys have a t.v. two computers and a stereo, all this really nice shit that everyone else wants and they don't even use them. Gaea brought home Aquila this time.

Damn, pleasure sims just do whatever they want, they never stick to anything. Stupid hookah thing, it's all they ever think about. Also, going on dates and having sex. They're the most sexually active of any couples I've played so far. It's nice. And after their 5th dream date, Leto wanted to spice things up a bit with a little public woohoo. Oh my, oh my.

Gaea got to know her 'aunt' Hecate the next day. They're the same age range. Oh dear, I guess Selene and Canes Venatici used to have a thing going on, she just slapped him silly! Oh well.. despite that little hitch that evening they earned their 6th dream date. Anyway, Gaea's birthday is tonight, Oh yay! She turned out way more pretty than I thought and in not too shitty clothes! Lucky~

Oh no, Leto got sunburn! The family went to the plaza so she could fulfill her public naughty want and Gaea could get those lovely gadget doodads tat every teenager simply must have. Leto's made a hobby of giving makeovers to passerby's. Everyone that seems to trod past the lot are always wearing those terrible American track suits. It's just unattractive.

Gaea snagged Endymion on his walk and the two became fast friends and the first she's made as a teenager. Saturday, Peitho was out with Dignaga and Gaea jumped at the opportunity to meet them both. At the end of the night they were as close as sisters.

Hahahahahaha! I sent Gaea out to the Witchwood Necropolis at night and the ghosts almost scared her to death. Poor kids starving now. I am still contributing to that graveyard, by the way. Stashing the NPCs I'm tired of in secret little places in the peoples houses, or feeding them to the Lagana's. What can I say?

Endymion invited himself over for burned... I don't even know what that is. Lobster. It's lobster. The gypsy woman came by the next morning to drop off a magic lamp. Yeah, boy! And Gaea brought home Hypnos. This family might not be as wealthy as the others, but they are not lacking in social prosperity.

Buh, despite this social affluence, Gaea's aspiration is below optimal and her social bar decays ridiculously slow because of how little 'nice' she had (or outgoing). Leto and Canes Venetici have sex in their car every time they go on a date. -

Endymion Seraph - Retro

The boys first day of school the house was packed. Monoceros, Asteria, Phoebe, Typhon and Hemera all came over to dance and listen to Borealis play the piano. Sandalphon got to doing chores around the house and to me delight, angels do garden. Anaximander received a lot of attention from the guests, too. I'm a little upset Monoceros registers as family to Mnemosyne. I'd have switched around the suitors if I'd known.
Tonight also happens to be the night Headmaster Vince Walter visits to assess young Endymion. Sandalphon made hamburgers for lunch, so Mr. Walter would just have to enjoy those, but the tour went very well, so we'll see how that goes. Never mind, he won't eat them. Welp, Borealis gets to making lobster while Mnemosyne talks the headmaster up a little. He's so impressed with dinner and her kindness and the house that Endymion's social value got a score of 132/90. I think that's the highest score I ever received. Good nes, because his first day of public school was terrible. He never wanted to go back. No unhappy.
Bitch Brittany Patch just recked my garbage can! What the shit, lady?! Emdymion's hobbe de jour is Music and Dancing, methinks he shall be the greatest pianist evar! Sandalphon's werewolf ways doesn't seem to impact his existence at all. He's be up at night anyway, being an angel and all. During Endymion's weekend, the child studed the skills he'd need to pass college. His mother instincively went for the piano instead of the chess board, which she did want to use. Her aspiration is a little low, so I had to focus on what she wanted instead of what she did.
After getting at least 5 skills in every column I let Endymion enjoy the rest of his weekend. Borealis and Mnemosyne partake of the juice bar regularly. Borealis spent some time reading and dancing with his boy. I don't know how I'd feel about being tickled by a robot. Sunday was so boring. At the end of the day Borealis welt to the plaza to maybe get some more appropriate attire. He's so sexy as he is, but his birthday's coming up soon. As usual, the family has money to burn, so I'm going to burn as much as I can. Wow, Borealis blew $140,000 on clothes. Just clothes. That's totally awesome! Endymion gets a much needed makeover.
To kill time, Mnemosyne and Borealis took to studying extracurricular subjects, Firesafety, parenting, that stuff. Sandalphon introduced himself to Hypnos. Hypnos is nerdy, and  suggested to Sandalphon that the world of science is a perfect niche for a mechanical man. Inspired, and being that Sandalphon had a gold badge in Robotics already, he took a job as an inventor. And since Mnemosyne is a wealth sim she can join the work force, as well. Natural Science pays well and she takes it. Takes a Laganaphyllis Simnovoreii, too. And since it's the cool thing to do, Borealis gets a for Anaximander in Security, taking one for himself as a protector of whales. It didn't take him long at all to become the Hand of Poseidon. Within the first two days of everyone being employed the households funds have doubled.
ANyway, it's time for Endymion to become a teenager. He's a friendly enough boy, but he doesn't bring home a lot of friends from school. Quiet sort, ut not a nerd, like Hypnos, doesn't leave me with a lot of options. I finally decide on wealth. Boring, I know. Poor kid sun do anything interesting. Just does his homework and plays the piano!
Borealis published a book before he entered his autumn years. Nothing special, really. Entitled The Finer Things. I also discovered that robots can'e buy clothes. Anyway, it's the weekend again, and Endymion need to leave the house sooner or later. The want to win a dancing contest came up in his want panel and I figure, what the hell. He makes for the Music Hobby lot.
I don't think I've ever entered any contests in this game before. Except when I tried to DJ the stereo glitched and I couldn't start any contests after that. I failed you, Endymion! Well, I can't stand for that. He took a quick nap and headed back there to show them all how he do. He won $500, too, and earned the little music plaque for topping interest in Music. Oh yeah, baby!
Oh yay, Endymion brought home Peitho and she immediately developed a crush on him. Nyaww. Borealis grew old. Pretty damn handsome, is I don't say so myself. Balls and sauce! My game just crashed! Hum, well this time around Endymion called up Hemera and got to be friends with her. Raphael stopped by after Sandalphon learned anger management and physiology, and they played hacky-sack together in the dining room as Endymion and Mnemosyne ate dinner.
Monday afternoon Endymion brought Pictor home instead of Peitho. The next day he brought home Pictor's sister, Carina. Oh delight, he'll have friends in college. Anyway, it's Borealis' birthday [again] tonight. I've been saving regularly this time. Mnemosyne has five or six days until she joins him in his elderlihood. That seems best. It'd be a little weird if Endymion came home from college in the same life stage as his parents.
Anyway, Mnemosyne reached the top of Natural Science and now goes to work in the buff. It's only once a week, though. Rhea stopped by to pay her a visit on that one day a week she's gone, but Sandalphon entertained her while Mnemosyne was at work. Borealis retired and Sandalphon gave up the life as a Mad Scientist, but only after achieving his life's work creating another life form like himself. It has yet to be named and activated and stays cooped up in the attic. But he has all the time in the world. To waste some of that time, he and the family do yoga for an entire autumnal evening. Shit, it crashed again. The family has the funds to buy more clothes. The game crashed when I sent Mnemosyne out to buy them. Let's see how it treats Borealis buying groceries and clothes. Success. Right on. Mnemosyne's birthday's coming up real fast. Yay, she's old and I can move on to a different lot.

College is Hell: Part One

Wow! You're kids are in college already?! No... Well, yes. I cheated and aged the kids and their parents up, because I'm impatient. Who wants to play through 20 households and naturally age up thirty-one kids? I also aged up Ares and Berjes.
So! Thirty-one kids divided into five households. The first household is one of eight taking up residence in the Hyperion Residential Hall. The group is comprised of Hecate and Thanatos Cygnus, and Carina, Hemera, Peitho, Endymion, Eros and Hypnos Seraph. See how clever I am? See? SEE?!
Their first day is chalk full of term paper writing and skill leveling, since most of them are in the plat from joining college. The first to complete her term paper is Carina, who I sent out for emergency clothes for everyone. Trust me, they have he funds. For the moment I could care less about majors. It's likely I'll be changing some of them for chemistry... Maybe. That night they learned how to slap dance and I slapped my cheeks in terror.
Hemera and Hypnos would make the cutest couple, because they both have pointed ears. I'm so pleased they share two bolts. The sad thing is Carina is related to everyone here except Endymion, Hemera and Hypnos.
The next college household harbors Aether and Phobos Cygnus, and Nike, Gaea, Deimos and Pan Seraph at Atraeus Auberge. It's becoming more evident that I should rearrange the college households. Or it could be that everyone is just that closely related. Right! Everyone's term papers are more or less complete and no one looks like fashion disasters anymore. I just have to figure out where to start. Hardest one first, right? Hardest is comparative, college is a long, boring haul, but not that difficult. In this case, hardest would be the household with the most students and that's at the Hyperion Residential Hall.
Carina and Endymion have fallen in love without my say so, but I'm not opposed to this union. Hypnos and Hemera are, shall we say, promised to each other and I'm currently scheming Eros and Hecate's love affair. To no avail, Hecate's more interested in Deimos, which may cause problems, as Peitho seems attracted to him, as well.
Eros made fast friends with Gaea and he shares two bolts with her. The next day, Carina invited over Nemisis and her dorm mates, Peitho met Hermes, Eros met Tyche and Hecate and Thanatos didn't meet anyone they were interested in. All I'm asking for is two bolts, man! At least Hemera and Hypnos officially fell in love. And there's still Persephone and Selene to investigate. The trouble is no one on the lot knows them. Hecate's making things weird for Eros, so she's going to spend time with Deimos. Eros didn't waste any time putting the moves on Gaea, not all of which were appreciated. To bed with all the kiddies! I wasn't watching the time and they all have midterms in the morning.
After midterms, the kids received $10,000 total to do with whatever they [I] wanted. -sigh- More money to spend. The next couple of days were quiet, no visitors, but the household regularly invites over their neighbors, for parties the days after. I want well defined personalities and relationships. And I'm really happy Thanatos is coming out of his shell. Oh shit, he and Peitho developed crushes on each other. These kids are recklessly affectionate.
They're all also sophomores now, adding another $10,000 to the funds. During the excitement I forgot about Hecate, Peitho and Eros' studies. Oopsies. After Peitho completed her studies, she and the other students, minus Hecate and Eros, who still has skills to earn, went jogging. Poor kids came back completely exhausted. Midterms again. Wow, that was quick. Shit, Peitho fell in love with Thanatos. Oh well. Eros and Hecate are closing in on the necessary skills to complete college. Oh dear, Dionysus fell asleep in his macaroni and cheese. Let's send him home. Welp, their time in college is halfway over, and the only one without a sweetheart is Hecate. She's spent most of her time beefing up her skills, though.
Things may be looking up for her, though, she seems to be quite taken with Apollo. They made fast friends. The guys are juniors now. I had the option of changing their aspirations, but.. Meh, wasn't in the cards. Augh, spending $10,000 every semester is HARD!
Heh, whenever I invite Gaea's household over the first thing Deimos and Pan do is play a game of chess. It's awesome. But, now that Hecate no longer has any interest in Deimos, Peitho is given the go ahead. Yes, she's already in love with Thanatos, but she has more chemistry with Deimos. I'm just keeping her options open.
Eros has been broadening his romantic pallette as well, and asks Tyche out on a date. She's a pleasure sim, too! They also have great chemistry. At the end of their date, though, Gaea called Eros... hmm, she suspects! What do you know. Peitho also shares some chemistry with Hermes. Delight, delight. Whoa! Cat fight! Hecate just bitch slapped Tyche! Oh dear, she does not like cheaters. No body flirt around the crazy lady! Apparently no one likes the idea of Eros courting Tyche, he's been shoved around all evening, poor boy.
Oh crap! I forgot about midterms! Ahhh! Everyone study! Study! Phew. 4.0s across the board. That was close. I don't think I'll invite Dionysus over anymore, he keeps rushing to defend Tyche's honor and punching Eros' lights out. Oh yes. It's official. Peitho and Hermes are in love. I like this couple. It is hereby sanctioned. Speaking of sanctioned couples, Hypnos proposed to Hemera in the bathroom. She was ecstatic.
Oh shit! Cow ruined it all! Hemera's outraged and Cow and Hypnos! Noooo! Aww! I hate you Jeff Zarubin! Oh no... he tried to sweet talk Endymion in front of Carina. He's just fucking up all the couples. Man. Well... What do I do now. Eh, repairing Hemera and Hypnos' relationship. I did say I wanted complicated relationships. Bah! This just throws everything out of sync! Okay, okay, okay, Peitho and Endymion, possible; Carina and Dionysus, possible; Hemera and Hermes, possible; that leaves Hypnos out on his ass, but! He's a good looking guy and there are lots of women in Ebonwood who still aren't spoken for.

The following days I invited strictly the boys from the other households, silly me. I realized Peitho's lovers might cause some trouble if she starts flirting with any of them. She, Carina and Hemera all rolled the want to learn Couple Counselling. Gee, I wonder why. Wow, it works. Hypnos and Hemera have patched things up. Shit, Eros hugged Gaea in front of Tyche. It's just one disaster after another! Dionysus was right to beat the shit out of him.
Oh my gosh, they finally graduated! Buh, I'm sleepy. Save, quit, go to bed. Next time on 'College is Hell': Gaea's household.
