As you may have guessed it from the title Generation Plum is taking over! He's still a child at the moment but he won't be much longer. And since Mom only has one point left on parenting to master her generation I think it's time. Bungee had a long run it's time to make way for some color! I missed one of these movie nights back when the family lived in San Myshuno but I got it now.

Family movie night will not be missed again! Spork has the honor of choosing the films so naturally, the little Beary went with the kids' movie. There's no better way to bring in a new generation than with a fire!

That, my fine simming friends, is a maid who failed to clean the lint tray. I hope he wasn't thinking a Beri was going to save him. Because they don't do well in a crisis.

Bungee was the only one home and made sure she got herself and her pets to safety.

Poor guy didn't stand a chance!

Kevin got home from work (as a cop, btw) and started clapping and seemed to be enjoying the whole tragedy.

Talk about inappropriate behavior. Since we are on the subject of dead sims I've made the heart wrenching decision to release all the ghosts to the netherworld. Playing so many legacies I had to make cuts somewhere to keep the game running smoothly. It was a tough decision but at least we will have an awesome looking graveyard.

Goose is still wandering around until I change households so enjoy this moment while you can.

Now let's get back to the prime Beri, Spork.

Since Spork has been low key stalked by Disney Princess Julie they decided to become best friends.

Remember, Julie has the soulmate aspiration so I think you can figure out what I'm planning here. Spork, like all the Beris is feeling himself:

And is ready for the transition to teenagedom and officially becoming the prime Beri.

Ok, what just happened? Why are his eyebrows blue?

Yeah, that's not working for me either Spork. Right idea, wrong color let's fix this.

Much better. So since we are renaissance simming here I decided to let Spork choose his skills and the first thing he did was go fix the dryer.

So, I guess handiness will be one of his talents. Tricia came out and became as purple as her grandson when she discovered his color of choice.

In case my not-so-subtle hint above about Julie and Spork passed you by, this is for you.

Got it now? I know what you're asking yourself. How in the hell are you going to make that work Zoot?

Where there's a will there's a way. *wink wink* Look they match!

Spork doesn't quite understand why he has to have a part-time job since his family is one of the richest in town.

But generational rules must be followed. At least he has a super sim predecessor who can help him with his skills.

What's up with Lump lately? I know I heard someone out there ask that.

Yeah, he's still adorable. And loves Boxcar to pieces.

I wish all my Legacy pets got along so well. That is it for this post my lovelies. Spork bids you adieu with a random idle dance.

Things in the Landgraab mansion have indeed slowed down since the conclusion of The Bachelor challenge, Yvette has been quite busy between work on the dance team and going to university at the same time.

Not to mention maintaining Onyx's fragile ego. Which to be honest is basically a full time job in itself. Constantly he is is seeking validation from her and making sure the relationship is real.

I don't know how she manages to keep her cool and continually helps him to feel better and make sure he feels secure. Her dedication to this man is honestly touching considering where the relationship came from. Onyx seemed to forget he no longer has excess to cowplant essence and his adult birthday crept up on him.

Not being one to outdo her husband Yvette also let her busy lifestyle distract her from her own birthday when it arrived.

Onyx keeps himself busy and is once again dedicating himself to his flower arranging business. He makes a significant amount of money with his arrangements. Between his pristine flowers and his impeccable taste they are much sought after.

The kids have become very reliant upon one another and spend a lot of time together. Finding that love and bond that is kind of lacking from their father.

One things the kids do get from their parents is birthday cakes. It's something I guess.

Landgraab kids gotta stick together.

Rabbit and Hatter look so much alike even if they are fairly different sims.

Our heir Queen, when not spending time with her siblings, Duchess in particular:

She is on the families skating rink, basking in her pretend audience's applause.

Since all eyes should be on her.

After all it was her mother who fought the hardest to make sure Queen would be given the role of the Landgraab heir.

As her eldest siblings age and try to figure out what their future will be outside of the Landgraab mansion.

As they begin to move out and everyone grows up.

Queen needs to figure out what her role in the Landgraab dynasty will be.

That is, if she can take her mind off the hottest boy in school.

Welcome back to the Landgraab mansion where the competition has reached it's conclusion. Everyone has gathered outside for the final ring ceremony. All of the scores for the last two weeks have been tallied and there is a clear and definite winner. A sim who did more for the harmony of the home and made the Bachelor felt loved while he bestowed his affections on them. That sim was not Sooty.

Soot had always been the Watchers favorite well once her first pick died tragically and Sooty always seemed to be trying her hardest to become the next Mrs. Landgraab. With the final round however Sooty just seemed to no longer be interested in any of it anymore. Only scoring 16 points not even half of the top contestant. Ultimately it seems she just gave up. Onyx may be a psychopath but he is isn't heartless. Sooty had clearly been in it to win it for a long time so he wished her the best for her future.

The next two contestants to be let go were neck and neck in the final tally scoring 21 and 23 and so they were let go together.

These two had both been giving their all since they entered the mansion so it was fitting they would be losers together. But really one couldn't be expected to break up two sims finding love in the most insane place imaginable.

Now that they were free of their contract they were finally able to act upon those feeling that everyone had noticed and they were contractually obligated not to show.

That left the presenting of the ring to the clear winner. The final entrant but the sim whodefinitely showed the fiercest competitive spirit and drive to be Mrs. Landgraab, Yvette.

Even the Watcher has to admit they seem almost destined to be together. Ever since she became a presence in the house Alvin has been enamored and she seems just as infatuated with him. The future is for them.

Not to mention her score of 39, nearly doubling and completely decimating the competition proves her dedication to this man and the Landgraab name. With her mother winning the day that means Queen will be heir. Becoming the first female heir in the family. It's almost as if her mother knew her fate when she chose to name her child.

With the competition over things in the mansion could become much more normal and routine.

The children begin to thrive and the Landgraabs soon feel like their namesake again when they once hire staff to deal with the more menial tasks that are not meant for their fingers.

From this point things do indeed become more routine.

With special attention of course given to the Queen.

The other kids don't seem to mind, they get their time with their dad when they can.

In fact they even enjoy spoiling the little queen themselves. She is just that loveable.

The happy couple of such a large brood decided to not have a big wedding event. Just getting to this stage was enough work so they took a few hours to head to the city and tie the knot at the romance festival. Yvette really doesn't have a lot of time between school and working with her dance team to plan a proper traditional wedding. It's a good thing she is our winner because some of these sims are just hopeless. Not even learning anything after death.

Queen of hearts of running to an end as the next Queen grows up and becomes that much closer to taking over her familial responsibilities.

Duchess and her are ready for the new stage of life.

Looks like the kids really are going to be alright.

Welcome back to The Bachelor: Landgraab Style On tonights episode we are going to hop right into the elimination round from the previous week in the newly renovated and completely berry Landgraab mansion.

This weeks top scorer to I think no ones surprise was: Yvette.

Up next was the lovely Sooty but as she has already received immunity it was time to deliver the flower to the third strongest competitor this time around Mystic.

That left the final elimination between Eeyore and Gentle Dove.

No real surprises here as Eeyore received the final rose for the week.

That left Gentle Dove, who was not only the lowest scorer but he also had the lowest relationship with our Bachelor. Though he did bring a child into the world his lack of interest in getting to know or put in an effort for Onyx. Led Onyx to decide on not going easy on his daughters father.

He was sentenced to the sweet allure of cowplant cake and Onyx couldn't see him gone soon enough.

So after a few harsh words for slighting the most wanted Bachelor.

With that Gentle Dove headed out to receive his final reward from the competition.

At this point it was time to explain the finaly stages of the competition to the contestants. From here on out they will be living in the mansion with the Bachelor. They will be allowed to seek outside employment and pursue their life as they see fit. All of this in the direct of purpose of giving them a chance at a domestic experience with Onyx. Well as much as can possibly be established with 3 other sims in the home also competing for the approval of The Bachelor. With that the contestants went off to hit the gym, looking your best always boosts the players confidence.

Everyone is happy to be out of the basement. All the spirits that now inhabit the home have become more active.

Some are somehow still under the impression they have a possible chance with Onyx. While others are finding love in the hereafter.

The children also, are enjoying life above ground.

Now everyone can see anyone can see an other member of the house and time they desire.

Smiles and laughter can be heard throughout the mansion most of the time.

There are plenty of things to celebrate.

Lots of reasons to smile.

As there are plenty of hugs to be had.

So, Things for the Beris started out normal enough. Tricia is still addicted to playing with the cat wand.

Bungee learned from Goose and no longer goes near the rock wall.

Kevin is still missing some sandwiches for a picnic.

Spork has been dutifully working on his artistic aspiration.

He's the most 'normal' Beri child yet. Except... He's always doing this.

He desperately wants out of the city and Bungee has a job opportunity in Oasis Springs. Also most of the time he's giving his mom the eye.

Seriously mom? You expect me to buy that? Ok, I guess in hindsight he's not really all that normal and is a bit of a rebel (genius) child. He's also a bit upset.

Because things are about to take a turn. First, Julie (my Disney Legacy heir) broke in and made dinner.

What the hell is this? Before I could even process what just happened Tricia died.

She was such a sweet sim it's tough to see her go. Of course the families cat, Lump was very upset.

Tricia had a special bond with the Beri kitties.

Goose was devastated for a long while, those two were truly soulmates. Their relationship reminded me so much of Guppi and Dina

Spork definitely wants out of this house now so once again he asked his mom to take the coaching gig in Oasis Springs Initially, she tried to talk her way out of it.

But of course, Spork didn't buy into her excuses and in exasperation

Bungee gave in.

Here they are living in the most exclusive neighborhood in town. Where a sim can actually stretch their legs.

For the most part I left the house as it was downloaded and just made grey berry adjustments.

They seem happy to me Sporks good friend Colton came by to see the new digs.

Things were good and they appeared to be adjusting to their new home nicely until the worst happened.

No No No Some sims you get so attached to and Goose was one of them. I literally yelled out when he died. I took his death as hard as his father's.

Just like with Tricia he took his final breath when everyone was out. The family was still rather upset and Spork took to the bear costume to deal with the loss.

Every Beri child has been especially close to their grandparent. Tricia had reunited with her beloved Goose before he passed.

But now they can always be together and I will truly miss that face.

Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a doo, I love you.

Man what was the name of the kids show that was on? Song just popped in my head. And it seemed befitting my love of the adorbz Spork so I used it. Spork is a typical Beri:

You know, batshippin' crazy! Gosh, I hope he didn't learn that from Gooses experiences in space. Why his great uncle came to visit in the middle of the day to read him a story is beyond me.

It must be his magnetic personality, that just draws people in. Bungee has decided to go for a more adult look.

This hair is perfect because that second blonde color is the hair color she was born with. Her and Kevin are still slowly working on his soulmate aspiration heading out to random dates around the world's.

Her bestest bud, grandma Princess comes out regularly to check up on her, when she's not breaking things that is.

These two slobby sims were deeply bonded in their messy ways. In much the same way Tricia and Kevin are with their neat ways.

And that ladies and gentlemen brings us to our first new grey Beri.

Bet you thought Bungee was having more kids. You did? Didn't ya?

We have Spork we don't need anymore he's the perfectest little Plum.

Just ask Goose:

After Tricia puts him out At least we won't be dealing with that anymore since he's turning into a grey Beri as well.

And a mighty handsome grey Beri now rockin' the grandad look.

The actual grey Beri baby is growing up!

And he's done with the grey.

He's gone full on Plum! Beris are coming back next time!

Ready... Set.. Panic!!!

Kevin was dressed appropriately because generation plum is here!

In case you're not in the know, my berry legacy is rotating genders. So we needed a boy and luckily we got one.

Generation yellow:

on fire No news there. Lump:

still adorable Boxcar:

died Nah I'm playing. Goose is training him.

gotta be safer than flaming rock walls Generation Grey:

Deeply in love But like any Beri you should probably let them win.

You're not helping Goose She may be a sore loser but she is always there for her baby boy.

Who is ready to venture out into the world.

He grew up in grey like a good boy. With a few Zoot tweaks he's officially a grey baby.

Who is looking an awful lot like great grandpa Greyson.

Also known as a cute little monster.

Every night after Bungee gets out of work she makes sure to put the littlest Beri to bed.

And although cooking isn't a requirement for her generation, Bunge makes sure there's food on the table and a cake for your birthday.

Before I properly introduce you to generation plum: why is the little critter thinking about food when a predatory ghost cat is on his cage?

Is he truly just hungry or is he afraid he will become food? Without further ado: There was a mint:

Guppi A rose:

Wilma A yellow:

Goose And a grey:

Bungee All of whom have led to a plum:

Welcome to Berry Town, Not so Berry fans! So the pictures here are totally random in the order I took them and I can't seem to think of a common motif for it so here goes nothing. Ahem This:

This is Scully Scully is scratching a post. Scully is getting old. You never see Scully because she's got things to do, that don't involve you silly 2 legged walkers. Like this guy:

This is Kevin Kevin is a cop Kevin is a cop who is a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Kevin is a cop a few sandwiches short of a picnic who is trying to get buff to impress his active wife.

She's impressed.

Kevin is a cop who is a few sandwiches short of a picnic who is expecting a child.

That didn't take long.

Scully is meeting Lump.

Yes, his name is Lump don't you judge me. Goose is on fire!...

...again... Lump is adorable.

Kevin is now buff.

Kevin and Tricia are bound together by cleanliness.

Lump is adorable!

Bungee is a tired pregnant lady.

Lump is adorable!

Guys Guys Guys . . . . I cant

Fawlty died... He was Guppis' pride and joy. How can we go on? . . . By being forced Violently And unwillingly Into

The Unknown What the (insert curses here)

Scully died Bungees too busy to witness her departure

I, however, have seen enough.
