LEPacy Challenge - Gen 9 and 10: Gen 10's wonder years.

 I returned to Gus's household to find that he has risen in the criminal career. He has advanced to wearing a mask.

He seems so proud of his accomplishments, that he doesn't even remove it before tucking the kids into bed.

The kids don't stay innocent children for long. Soon they are getting into all kinds of trouble.

Where's your helmet and leathers, Cooper? You tip that bike, and you could end up in the hospital or worse! One day, Cooper had the notion to turn himself into toy form after school and see what kind of trouble he could get himself into. He went to "the box" where all the cool kids hang out (at least that was my intention - I need to see if Master Controller has a way to designate this lot as teen only because adults are flooding to it - including Cooper's mom, Athena.)

They both seemed rather happy to have run into each other, and Athena invited him over to the house to meet his little brother Sawyer, his Aunt Mitzi, and his cousin Archer.

I think Sawyer was a little annoyed with the distraction of Cooper's and Athena's pillow fight.  What a studious lad! 

He and Cooper got to know each other a little bit. Maybe the will become friends, maybe not.

Cooper was getting tired. Time to go home.

Cooper is actually the good kid of the two. His imaginary friend Jelly Bean is well on the way of getting a girl pregnant, . . . 

and has been in trouble with the law already for egging houses - not that Gus has dealt out any consequences - maybe because Jelly Bean isn't exactly his kid?

Jelly Bean seem pretty attached to the fairy girl he has been risky woohooing with, so I gave her a makeover before they went bowling.

Nothing fancy: just a new hairdo, color coordinated her existing daily outfit and making sure she had a prom dress as Jelly Bean asked her to prom.

Cooper doesn't have a girlfriend and is working on bulking up and getting fit. . . 

 . . . which has come in handy when a burglar came to try to steal Gus's cars.

Of course the burglar alarm finally went off after the altercation.

Beatrice wasn't concerned about the robbery as much as she was about being woken up by the alarm. When Beatrice isn't working as a journalist, she's painting.

I guess she's fond of cheese.

I broke away from the family briefly to see who was living in the pink house because it still had the name Gains listed on it. It turned out that Gus's imaginary friend Fluff's son now lives there. His name is  Rogelio Gains.

Rogelio is a rookie cop who wants to be an international superspy someday. He has a girlfriend, Brittney Henderson and a baby daughter, Juliet. I moved Brittney and Juliet in with him as he has a full sized bed and a nursery. It turns out Brittney is a fledgling criminal whose wish is to be swimming in cash. Baby Juliet is a grumpy genius. I saved them to the bin as they seemed like a fun family to play with down the line in a different game. 

While I was gone, Gus got another promotion and up and got engaged to one of his co-workers. Maybe things have cooled between him and Beatrice.  I think it's time to move her out as Gus is entertaining ideas of marriage.

From the look of his work outfit he must have been promoted to pimp! Lookin' awful snazzy, Gus. 

Gus has also been working on his martial arts skills every chance he gets.

He even found a sparing partner. I guess I need to have him throw a bachelor party and get married. He has reached his goal of owning five motor vehicles and is one friend away from his lifetime wish of being super popular. I'd also like to see him top the criminal career as he's at level 8 now, and I have never had a sim reach 10 in that career.
