Last time, I posted three updates of this legacy in a week, and promised I'd try to get a fourth one. Instead, it took me over a month to follow up on this, of which I apologize.
The explanation is very simple: I got sick. Because of this, not only was I too whoozy to sit in front of the computer, but I was also unable to get back to school for a week - and, as I've mentioned in the past, I'm taking a very intensive course on Java, and the intensity is such that missing a week of classes resulted in a snowball effect that made catching up increasingly difficult. I'm still struggling, but for the sake of my mental health I decided to take a break and play a bit of sims before my nose returns to the grindstone.
And wouldn't you know it, this particular session of sim-playing became very intense, as so much happened in the Gieke household. Brace yourselves.

( Birthdays. So many birthdays. )

Aaaand here's a new attempt at a legacy challenge! This is going to be a light attempt, just for a few laughs and for me to unwind when I return home for the weekend as I'm currently taking an intensive Java course in another town during the week. I'm focusing it around a premade Maxis sim, with other Maxis sims (namely the Pleasantview townies and Bluewater Village sims, all fixed and cleaned up by meetmetotheriver), penig's subhoods and their sims, some others generated in game that use my extensive folder of default and non-default face templates, and a handful of other people's creations I have some fondness for and which as a result I have turned into townies and downtownies. All will be credited whenever they show up, of course.

And for the record: when I decided to populate this neighbourhood, I went for different facial expressions in order to have unexpected and interesting results for Chester Gieke's descendants. It's not an uglacy or a prettacy - if I have to describe it in one word, it would probably be an "interestingacy". And yes, that's a real word, at least in this journal. Because Stone Cold I say so.

Anyway, on to the post.
