Toro returns home from college and is excited to see his family and fiancée Brie. They have their wedding in the new family chapel built by the Author. However, on the day of Arie's graduation party, Brie becomes sick, though Toro insists she is not pregnant. Meanwhile, Arie moves into her own house in the neighborhood after graduating, choosing a modest home over a large mansion, and tells the Author she does not see children in her future.
Similar to Mr. and Mrs. White! Congratulations to the newlyweds. May their marriage be filled with joy, understanding, and many years of happiness together

2. Welcome back to Riverblossom Hills! How was that college update? You‟ve stretched, had a bite to eat, something before moving on
to this chapter? Good. I think I‟ll split it into parts next time. Time for the whirlwind summary!
Last time, Toro and Arie arrived at Sim State. Before Arie arrived, Toro moved in his girlfriend, Aubrey Cho the Cow Mascot. Sparks
flew between Arie and Brie, but eventually they were able to sort out their differences. This marked the first time real passion began
to grow between Toro and Brie. They eventually got engaged, everyone graduated, and now we‟re skipping a little back in time to
when Toro first arrived in Riverblossom Hills after his graduation. Brie and Arie are, in fact, still in college when this chapter begins.
3. Still following me? I know the timeline can be kind of dumb, as in, “Wait! But I thought she graduated
already?”, but I tend to be a bit of an OCD-player, and like to have all the ages that need to be synchronized
properly synchronized…
…hold on. I feel a disturbance in the Force.
4. It seems that you have found my simself, and also my little hideaway tucked off on a winding road in Riverblossom
Hills.
Well, then.
5. Bloo skavani, neighbor! Welcome to my house!
Allow me to parade around and brag about my mad building skillz!
6. This is my house. I built it from scratch, with a little help from a sketch of the front of a house I found online and
some pictures of Lara Croft‟s yard. (That‟s where the hedge maze came from.) Otherwise, it‟s all me. It is big and
laggy, but that‟s okay, because I‟m a motherloded simself. I can live wherever the heck I want.
7. Unfortunately, I originally built it for another family who didn‟t deserve it, who I eventually killed off. I turned the
house into a community lot because I loved it so much and didn‟t want to lose it. Then I created my simself, and I
wanted to live there. So I imported it to the lots and houses bin and moved it to Riverblossom Hills. This meant I
needed to turn it back into a residential lot and buy a new mailbox and trash can.
9. Okay, so you‟ve met me, and you‟ve seen my awesome house. Enough with the gratuitous “yay me” slides, and
back to the Whites. Because, you know, they‟re the reason why you‟re here.
10. Toro arrived back home to Spring Snow Estate early on Thursday morning. I notice that he‟s still wearing his clothes from college.
Toro: “I re-bought them. They‟re just so comfortable.”
You look like you‟re trying to relive your college years.
Toro: “I‟m a Pleasure Sim. They‟re comfortable. Don‟t judge me.”
11. Toro: “Okay, where is everybody?”
Good question. I thought for sure Snow and Patrick would be waiting in the lobby to give you a big, gushy
welcome home.
12. Well, here‟s one of them.
Toro: “Hey, Pops!”
Patrick: “Hello, Notoro. I am afraid I must continue on my way to the carpool, but welcome home, son. I am pleased to see you have returned from University
safely. I shall see you when I return this evening.”
Toro: “Sure. Where‟s Mom?”
Patrick: “I do believe she is painting in the art room.”
13. Toro: “Hmm. More red, I think.”
Snow: “Toro! You‟re back! What time is it?”
Toro: “8:30.”
Snow: “I‟m late to the carpool!”
15. Snow: “Bye!”
Toro: “Since when did my parents share a carpool…?”
They‟ve gotten promoted a few times since you left. Turns out they now have the same work schedule. But don‟t worry, I‟m here for
you all day.
Toro: “Joy.”
16. Toro: “I think I‟ll go… make a Baked Alaska. That sounds like fun. Always freaks the Author out. And also call
Brie.”
Poor, lonely heir. The next two days will fly by, Toro, I promise.
Wait, Baked Alaska?
17. Toro: “So Pops, I was thinking that once Brie moves in—”
Hey, Patrick.
Patrick: “Author, I was holding a pleasant conversation with my son.”
Oh, well. Go gather up your wife and meet me at the kitchen doors.
Patrick: “Why not speak with her first? She is, after all, the foundress, and I believe the two of you know each other better than you and I do. You and my beloved wife seem to have a relationship
not unlike quarreling roommates.”
I don‟t want her to bite my head off. Meet me out back with Snow, Patrick.
18. Toro: “Can I come?”
No. I want to run it by your parents first. You‟ll see it in a couple of days.
Toro: “Maybe I‟ll go make another Baked Alaska.”
Please don‟t restart your mother‟s feud with me, Toro. I like you too much.
19. Snow: “Alright, we‟re here. What did you want to show us?”
Why are you sitting down?
Snow: “I‟m an old woman. My knees ache.”
Alright, I‟ll grant you that. Now get up and go through the kitchen doors.
Snow: “…through them? But we‟ve never been through them before… there‟s nothing out there…”
20. Patrick: “Ma cherie, did you know we had statues in the back lobby?”
Snow: “Did you know we had a back lobby?”
Please don‟t get distracted, you two. Keep going. All the way outside.
21. Snow: “Author, honestly. Why do you always insist on doing things in the dark or the poorly lit hours of sunset and dawn? I can‟t see a
thing!”
That‟s only because your eyes went bad with age, princess.
Patrick: “I must concur, Author. This does seem somewhat inconvenient. And what, pray tell, is this empty plot of gated land for?”
Don‟t worry about. That‟s not what I brought you out here to see. Turn around.
22. Snow: “Hm. This is new. You know, Author, not everything has to be pink.”
I think it‟s cute.
Snow: “Hmmph.”
This is your new family wedding chapel. You got a bonus at work, Snow, and since Brie will be here soon, I figured it was high time to
install the wedding arch. Go have a look inside.
23. Plenty of lighting. Plenty of flowers. Plenty of all-around mush. The seating is comfortable for poor aging parents—
Snow: “Watch it.”
—and there‟s an added floor upstairs where I‟ll put most of the single heir and spouse portraits as they get painted.
Patrick: “Merely „most‟ of the heir portraits? Does this imply that not all of the heir portraits will be hung on the second floor of this
building?”
24. Well, no. Your and Snow‟s portraits are hung down here on the wedding floor. Snow is my founder, and you‟re her husband, and I thought there
would be some kind of poetic symbolism to have the legacy‟s first couple watching all of their descendants get married.
Snow: “That‟s sappy.”
Patrick: “Don‟t mind her, Author, I can tell that she is fond of the idea. I think it is wonderful.”
Snow: “It‟s sappy. I didn‟t say I didn‟t like it.”
25. Hey, Toro.
Toro: “Yeah?”
Where are you going?
Toro: “…my bedroom?”
Wrong way. You‟re in the second master bedroom now, not your old bedroom from when you were a teenager.
26. Toro: “…really?”
You know, your mother had a very similar reaction upon seeing it, and it wasn‟t even decorated then.
Toro: “Really?”
Alright, alright, so I was fully aware that neither you nor Brie would really like a pink bedroom. Someday, I‟ll have an heir who will. But I promise that when you
lose your parents, you can move into their bedroom. It‟s blue.
Toro: “Great. That‟ll be a great way to honor their passing.”
27. Toro: “Hey, Brie. How‟re things going? …why did I call? No reason. Just missing you. …yeah. Love you, too.”
28. One graduation party later, and Brie arrived, finger-gunning, in Riverblossom Hills.
29. And was greeted by her fiancé.
Toro: “Welcome home, Brie!”
Brie: “Haha, the balloons popped… how long have you been standing here, Tory?”
Toro: “A while.”
Brie: “Did you sleep at all last night?”
Toro: “A little. I took a nap on the couch.”
30. Brie: “I love you SO MUCH, you know that!?”
Toro: “Grrf!”
31. Snow: “Get a room, kids. Your father and I are the only ones allowed to do public displays of affection under this
roof.”
Brie: “Hi, Mom!”
Snow: “Hey, Brie. Welcome to the family.”
32. Snow: “Do you ever feel like we‟re getting old, Patrick? I mean, our children are graduating college and getting
married.”
Patrick: “Never, ma cherie. With you, I will always remain young.”
33. Patrick: “Ma cherie, do you happen to have any idea as to why the refrigerators have been stocked with berry
pie, layer cake, and Baked Alaska?”
Snow: “Toro’s home, dear.”
Patrick: “Oh, yes.”
34. Patrick: “Children, as you know, your wedding is set for tomorrow evening. Are there any last minute preparations
you wish to have ready for the event?”
35. Brie: “Let‟s get some soda.”
Toro: “Soda? Come on, Brie, this is a wedding we‟re talking about…”
Brie: “I love soda.”
36. Toro: “On second thought, soda sounds like a great idea! Let‟s get some soda!”
Snow: “How‟s it going, Patrick?”
38. Really, guys? You‟re having a romantic moment right here? Next to that?
Snow: “Why not? It‟s just an empty plot of land.”
Patrick: “Pay no mind to the Author, ma cherie. Think instead on the beauty of this night, and the happiness we feel for the
impending wedding of our son.”
Whoa, that was sappy. Excuse me, I‟m going to go see what Toro and Brie are doing.
40. Brie: “Must chat.”
Snow: “Busy.”
Brie: “Knowledge Sim must chat…!”
Brie, you suck as a Knowledge Sim.
41. Today‟s the day! Feeling nervous at all, Brie?
Brie: *glrmf* “Nope.” *slrf*
I‟m tired of messy sims.
42. What about you, Toro? Nervous?
Toro: “Not at all.”
In fact, you are positively AGLOW with excitement, right? Right!?
Toro: “Gross. There‟s a reason why I didn‟t say that.”
44. Pat-rick…
Patrick: “Author, please, do show some restraint. I am currently attending my son‟s wedding. Please refrain from
speaking out of turn.”
45. As I was saying, Toro and Brie became the first couple to have a real wedding ceremony in the family chapel.
There are certain benefits to not being the founding generation, huh Toro?
Nothing? No comment at all?
Meh, I‟ll just let him say his wedding vows.
49. Of course Brie proceeds to go check out the weather, and then Toro decides that the one kiss under the arch was
not enough.
Snow: “Kids, remember what I said about public displays of affection.”
50. You wanna bet Brie‟s gonna be a cake stuffer? Is that the sweet smile of a newlywed or the devious smile of a
terminal prankster? I‟m betting prankster.
53. Toro: “Morning, Pops!”
Patrick: “I must admit, Notoro, that I had hoped that the nicely-combed hair you wore for your wedding yester evening would be permanent. I see it is not.”
Toro: “Nope!”
Patrick: “Remember Aral‟s graduation party is this morning.”
Toro: “Yup!”
He seems awfully happy this morning.
54. Toro: “Hey, Brie. Morning. You ready for Arie‟s party?”
Brie: “Uh… yeah…”
56. Toro: “Brie! Are you okay!?”
Brie: “Ugh. Don‟t talk to me.”
Snow: “TORO! IS BRIE OKAY?”
Toro: “SHE‟S THROWING UP, MOM!”
Snow: “IS SHE PREGNANT?”
Toro: “NO! SHE’S SICK!”
Brie: “Will both of you shut up!? Blech…”
57. Toro: “Are you okay? Are you going to make it to the party?”
Brie: “Urk. No. Tell Arie that I didn‟t think she‟d make it, so congratz. Also that I would be there if I weren‟t chained
to the toilet.”
Toro: “Right. I‟ll tell her.”
58. Snow: “Time to go, Toro!”
Toro: “I‟m staying. I‟ve got to look after Brie.”
Snow: “And miss your own sister‟s graduation? She‟d never forgive you. Brie‟ll be fine. Women have gone through pregnancy on
their own for centuries.”
Toro: “She‟s not pregnant, Mom!”
59. Snow: “I‟m gonna have grandbabies!”
Toro: “She‟s just sick, Mom.”
Snow: “We‟re sims, Toro. Women don‟t just get sick for no reason.”
60. Now that she‟s all graduated and the timeline has caught up, let‟s check in on Arie, shall we?
After leaving Sim State, Arie moved to Peachtree Valley, a subhood just off screen from Riverblossom Hills. It‟s a
little sparse right now, but soon it will be filled with spares and their families.
61. Um, are you sure, Arie?
Arie: “Yup.”
This house?
Arie: “This house.”
62. I mean, it‟s definitely very cute and I personally think it fits you rather well, but you were a Fortune Sim. In fact, you
still are a Fortune Secondary. Are you sure you don‟t want, I don‟t know, a big, ostentatious mansion or
something? Remember, you‟re a spare, you can have it.
Arie: “Nope. I‟m good…”
64. Growing up as Generation Two with parents who were not college-educated and therefore strapped for cash, the
closest Arie ever got to entertainment equipment was the Gamer career reward pinball machine. She now has a
big-screen TV, a game console, an arcade game, an expensive computer, a dartboard in her bedroom…
65. …and a hot tub in the backyard. The place is set up to be a Pleasure Sim‟s paradise.
66. And also, there is no shower, which means no flooded bathrooms.
67. Now that you‟re settled into your house and she‟s not in earshot, why don‟t you tell us a little bit about that bombshell that you dropped on your Family Sim mother, Arie?
Arie: “What, the kids thing? It‟s not that I don‟t want kids, it‟s just that I can‟t see them in my future.”
Why not?
Arie: “Author, I‟m a single spare that just graduated college. Let‟s not kid ourselves here, the odds are not good. I‟m not too stressed about it, though I wouldn‟t mind finding the
right guy. I‟d like to date a bit, you know.”
Yes, I know.
68. Arie‟s dream job, Cuisine, was taking a while to show up on the computer, so until then, she was working on
preparing for it. On this particular day, she is watching clouds while waiting for walk-bys she can befriend. It‟s a
fine day to be out and enjoying the sunshine, isn‟t it, Arie?
Arie: “It‟s alright. I‟d like it better if—”
69. N-no way…
She was watching clouds to wait for walk-bys to make friends with… she was sitting there for maybe half a sim
hour, I swear!
Exit without saving!
70. Uh, sorry about that, Arie.
Arie: “Sorry about what? …Author, what did you do?”
(I saved right before the Accident-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Spoken-Of-Again, as a cautionary measure that I always do before directing
sims to watch clouds, so at least nothing‟s been lost here.)
Arie: “Author! Tell me! What have you done!?”
71. O.O
Again? This has happened again? There is no possible way this is coincidental.
Exit without saving!
73. Arie did eventually find the right field. She did find enough friends, and she did hit Celebrity Chef. She is now
permaplat, and now it is time to go back to the main White house.
74. Brie: “Morning, everyone. I‟m pregnant.”
Toro: “Mom, don‟t you say a word.”
Snow: “Was I going to say anything? I wasn‟t going to say anything! Was I, Patrick?”
Patrick: “Please do not pull me into this discussion.”
75. Whatcha making, Toro?
Toro: “Cheesecake.”
DON‟T YOU DARE.
Toro: “What? Just what are you insinuating? I am completely innocent! I just like to bake!”
79. Decided to retire from work, Snow?
Snow: “I‟m an old woman. I don‟t have all that much time left, and I want to spend every moment I‟ve got with my
grandchild.”
81. Snow: “How are you feeling this morning, Brie?”
Brie: “Hungry.”
82. Toro: “Brie! You didn‟t have to make your own breakfast! You should have asked me to do it! Let me do the dishes
for you! Do you need anything?”
Brie: “My head hurts just watching him spin around like that.”
Snow: “Just let him wait on you. He won‟t do it often enough in the future, trust me.”
86. Brie: “Here, hold this one.”
Toro: “Hold… this one? There are more? B-but Brie! You didn‟t eat any cheesecake!”
This is ridiculous. I promise, she ate no cheesecake. She had twins anyway. I bet she did it on purpose.
87. Meet Cygnus and Pardus White, twin boys and the newest members of the White Legacy. Also, the first members
of Generation Three, and the first twins of the legacy. Yay! This generation‟s naming scheme is animals.
Only, instead of giving children lame names like “Cat” or “Fox,” they get some part of the animal‟s scientific name.
It‟s cooler that way.
Toro: “I‟m a father!”
89. There will never be any kind of trouble distinguishing these guys. This is Cygnus, the redhead, just like his
Grandpa Patrick.
90. And this is Pardus, with the black hair he got from his father and grandmother. All of Brie and Toro‟s kids will have
dark blue eyes, because Brie‟s are dark blue and Toro‟s are light blue. Dominant beats out recessive. It‟s like rock-
paper-scissors.
91. How cute. They set down the kids, then immediately went in for the kiss. These two are so adorable together.
92. Toro also promptly rolls the wish to make espresso.
Toro: “I know exactly what raising twins is going to be like.”
93. Snow: “Hello, Arie. I can think of three reasons why you might want to be at home right this very minute.”
94. Arie: “So I have nephews now, huh? Should have known Toro and Brie would throw twins right away. They‟re both
cute as buttons. The twins, I mean.”
Snow: “Almost as cute as you two were when you were babies.”
95. Arie: “So, I count one, two reasons for being home. You said there were three. What‟s the third?”
Snow: “I‟m dying.”
96. Arie: “Oh ha ha, Mom. Don‟t joke about things like that.”
Snow: “No, it‟s true. I‟m dying. Grim‟s coming for me tonight.”
Arie: “…does Pops know?”
Snow: “Of course. We said goodbye last night. He‟ll be home from work just in time to see me off.”
Arie: “That‟s awfully pragmatic.”
Snow: “Hand me that infant.”
97. Arie: “So, what? This is it?”
Snow: “This is it… Isn‟t he adorable, Arie? I‟m so glad I got to live long enough to see them born.”
98. Snow: “Goodnight, Iggy. I love you very much.”
Arie: “Mom, this is dumb. You should be able to see your grandsons at least hit the child stage. Don‟t you have
any elixir of life sitting around? If not, I could gift you some. I‟ve got the aspiration points to do it.”
99. Snow: “No. It‟s better this way. I‟ve lived a full life, and it‟s time to move on. It‟ll only be a few days before Patrick
joins me. I won‟t be lonely.”
Arie: “Mom…”
100. Snow: “I love you, Arie. We‟ve known since you were little that you were special. Goodbye, and good luck.”
Arie: *sniff* “Bye, Mom. Do you mind if I hang out here until the time comes?”
Snow: “I would love that.”
101. Snow: “Goodbye, Par. You‟re not going to remember me any more than your brother Iggy will, but I love you.”
Par: *gurgle*
103. Toro: “Well, way to spring that on me, Mom!”
Snow: “Arie didn‟t react this way!”
Toro: “Arie didn‟t just become a father! Er, mother! This is supposed to be a happy day!”
Arie: “Heh, this is entertaining.”
104. Toro: “So, what? Tonight?”
Snow: “Yup.”
Arie: “I‟m going back to the nursery.”
105. Snow: “Now, you listen here. Growing boys can‟t live on cake and pie alone. They need vegetables. Make sure
they get to school on time when the time comes. And don‟t let them jump on the beds, no matter how fun you all
think it is!”
Toro: “Yes, Mom. I know, I can handle it.”
106. Snow: “Wait, I can hear them! The twins need a diaper change! Don‟t worry, boys, Grandma‟s on the way!”
Toro: “Hold up, Mom.”
Snow: “What? My grandsons need me!”
107. Toro: “Love you, Mom. Have fun at the Luau. I‟ll see you there.”
Snow: “I love you too, Toro. Be safe. Don‟t come over too soon.”
Toro: “And, uh, Mom?”
Snow: “Toro?”
Toro: “When you do come to visit from the other side, please don‟t scare anybody too much.”
Snow: “Haha, we‟ll see!”
109. Brie: “Well, Grams, I know you don‟t like mushy goodbyes all that much, so there‟s just one thing I want to do
before Grim comes knocking.”
Snow: “I‟m glad you‟re treating this so seriously. What is it, Brie?”
111. Snow: “Hahaha, you trying to give me a heart attack?”
Brie: “Bwahaha, of course not! Bye, Grams!”
Snow: “Haha, bye Brie!”
112. I guess time is almost up, huh. Did you get to say all of your goodbyes?
Snow: “All but one. But I guess there‟s not much chance I‟m going to see him in the next hour and a half, is
there?”
No. I guess not.
113. Snow: “It‟s my biggest regret that we never found him, you know.”
I know. Take your time.
114.
115. Where are you going?
Snow: “Outside. I want to be as close to Patrick‟s carpool at 6PM as possible.”
116. You know, we had our ups and downs, but I really did like you a lot.
Snow: “Oh no, don‟t you start, too. It just about killed me to hug my children and grandchildren goodbye. You can wait to say
goodbye until after I‟m gone.”
Oh, alright. Just, goodbye, Snow. You were awesome.
Snow: “…thank you. Goodbye, Author.”
117. The final jab: dying outside when the sun‟s going down and the lighting is bad.
119. This is always the worst part of this game; letting go of your sims. Snow, whatever feud we had going while you
were an adult, you were a great founder. You were a little crabby, but your priority in life was still your family. You
had an amusing way of scowling at the camera whenever I was taking a profile picture of you, and you were a
very strong leader of the family for a long time. You will be missed.
120. Join us next time for Patrick‟s departure to live with his beloved wife, and a lot more nice, happy stuff that isn‟t
death.
