Welcome back to the Trails Legacy!

Ophelia: Due to our overseer it has been yet again a long time.

But it’s not as long as last time! You know this hurts me too.

Ophelia: Oh yeah! Because it’s been like 4 months since you’ve even started the Sims 3 on your computer…

Maybe 😦 Anyway! What happened last time again?

Ophelia: We got a new house, we didn’t really have a picture of Ranger, the kids threw a party…

Speaking of the Terrible Two! When we moved it accelerated their aging. So they actually don’t get to be kids as much.

Ophelia: Aren’t you forgetting to mention that it sped up my aging?

Oh no- that’s just you getting old.

Ophelia: Not according to my calenders…

And guess who has the first birthday!

Ophelia: It’s Ranger’s birthday! And here I am still young and spry as a chicken!

That phrase really gives you away.

Ophelia: Hey, I’m not the one who basically forgets about the kid like an elder!

That may be true… So here’s a birthday profile to meet him again!

Name: Ranger Trails

Traits: Clumsy, Loner, Neat.

Favorites: Indie, Vegetarian Chili, and Orange.

Ophelia: Wow! He does have a strikingly similar appearance to Harold.

See? With that face and those traits he’s basically asking to be a side character.

Ophelia: Well let’s test that shall we? If I think about it… based solely on his traits… he’s a maid. A MAID?!

So we’ll keep him around to clean house.

Ophelia: It’s like you’re trying to set him up for some weird Cinderella story…

With two full fledged siblings and both of his parents living?

Ophelia: Well technically Harold is the undead…

Well then you’ll love what’s next. It’s you finally getting to the same life stage as Harold.

Ophelia: Noooooo!

Relax. I won’t make you look as old.

Look at the horror in your face; this is priceless!

Ophelia: The only thing amusing about that sentence is your proper use of a semicolon.

What? Anyways, let’s get to that birthday profile!

Name: Ophelia Trails

Traits: Excitable, Genius, Insane, Loser, and Lucky.

Favorites: Songwriter, Ratatouille, and Yellow.

LTW: Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder (Reach level 9 of science career track).

Ophelia: How could you make me look so… old?

I promised you a makeover but it’s been so long since your birthday in-game that I forgot I made it age appropriate!

Ophelia: Age appropriate for who? My mom!

Luna: Don’t bring me into this!

On the bright side look at how nice Harold Ranger’s room is!

Ophelia: This is it. My child and I will both go down as boring side characters…

You? No way!

Your child however…

Ophelia: So it’s settled then! He even came with a built in soul mate!

Okay, we’re taking this a little far here. You know his true love will be a feather duster.

Ophelia: Ugh. Let’s just move on.

It looks like Paisley is practicing the part of the evil step-sister well.

Ophelia: She really seems to be taking after my mom.

Ranger: So do you guys get to have a cleaning class at school? Or is it just for detention?

Paisley: Don’t go to school Ranger. The school bus smells like the cheese in Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Quinn: Yeah Ranger! Just focus on avoiding the tricycle gang. They’re a nasty group of preschoolers.

Ophelia: Why are they talking as if they have been going to school forever? It hasn’t been that long!

Well actually…

Ophelia: It’s already their birthday?

Time flies when you move neighborhoods.

Name: Paisley Trails

Traits: Neurotic, Hates the Outdoors, Rebellious, and Brave.

Favorites: Country Music, Veggie Burger, and Hot Pink.

Ophelia: It’s too bad she got Harold’s nose…

We both know the genetics in this family have gone downhill. Don’t blame it on him!

Name: Quinn Trails

Traits: Light Sleeper, Daredevil, Slob, and Never Nude.

Favorites: R&B, Tofu Dog, and White.

Ophelia: You know, since you gave him that hair, he looks even more like Elijah.

Please bring back the Elijah genetics. He was gorgeous.

Ophelia: And an awful person! Do you hate boys or something?!

No! I just haven’t had a male heir to show another strong male character. Geeze.

Quinn: Should we throw a party because we all aged up really fast?

Why not?

Ophelia: Hey! You don’t run this house!

But this is the first time their classmates haven’t been face ones. Imagine all the possibilities…

Ophelia: At least I don’t force them to date!

Nope. They seem to do that on their own. Hey wait a minute… is that you sleeping in the background of the second picture?!

Ophelia: Someone has to be the parent here! Harold did it too!

Oh, I didn’t even see him in the third photo!

Ophelia: As you can tell, he didn’t approve.

… Alright.

Ophelia: And why don’t we have more pictures of the party? What happened?

Well… someone… forgot to take screenshots. They were too busy aging up all the classmates.

Ophelia: How am I supposed to keep an eye on them like that?!

By trusting them?

Ophelia: They’re the terrible two!

Let’s wrap it up shall we?

Ophelia: HEY! I’m not done here-

Thanks for reading.

A/N: Sorry for yet another delay. I’m anxious to play again! I’m so sorry for the delays! I’ll try my best to get a regular schedule again.
