The Thiels have reached generation 10, so I did an epic photo shoot for them. :) Below I'll tell you a bit about each couple and what I enjoyed from their generation.
Lottie and Leighton started things off with a bang; due to some mod issues, at one point they had 26 kids in the household! They were a very sweet couple, though. After they got the kid thing worked out, they were really great parents and grandparents. They had two biological children and raised two others that were no relation to them.
Fun fact: they were the sims that I had the longest. They both only lived to about 100 days- but in real time I had them for just over 2 years!
I chose this pose for them because, Lottie always seemed a bit of a work-aholic, but Leighton kept her balanced between work and home. So here she is, enjoying the fresh air with her husband. Meanwhile, Leighton thinks about their kids and wonders if they'll have anymore.
Skane became the gen 2 heir over his sister, Charli. He married Charlotte while they were very very fresh young adults. This generation was actually played (partially) by my BFF. These two were my sporty couple. They were always outdoors fishing, or hiking, or exercising. After they started raising kids Skane took up inventing and Charlotte took up martial arts. Inventing led to Skane's rather unexpected demise. He was the only person in the legacy to die from unnatural causes.
Fun facts: Skane was named thusly because I was crocheting a lot at the time, and I thought it would be a cute name, me and my BFF went for this spelling because it's easy to pronounce. Charlotte was my first sim to use the young again potion, and she ended up remarrying Hank Goddard and had two more children, bringing her total to 7 children.
I chose this pose for them because it seemed a little melancholy, which fit the tragic end of their love story, and this pose also shows how close they were. They did everything together, more so than any other couple.
Aaron was the second youngest of Skane's kids, but he was the cutest for sure. He was also my very first sim to marry his IF, Cuddles. I loved this couple because he was so innocent and good. He carried on his father's inventing, and took really good care of their three children, while his wife carried on various evil plots in her free time. I always thought that Aaron turned a blind eye to his wife's nefariousness.
Fun facts: Aaron was usually not to be found around the house as he was constantly time-travelling- he unlocked more of the ambitions outfits than any other sim I've had! He and Cuddles actually had 3 additional children pop out of the time machine, 1 was and elder, 1 a YA, and 1 a teen (bringing their total to 6)
I chose this pose for them because I thought it was perfect for them. Aaron is resting sweetly on her head and she's out of his eyesight keeping her evilness from him. Plus it's cute. :)
Flower and Alexander reigned over the fourth generation and were my favorite sim couple of all time. They were adorable and madly in love. They had 7 children in 7 pregnancies and all of them were boys, which is why they kept having more. They were super good parents though, and thankfully had established their careers before having too many kids, so they were always either with their children or each other. Also during this generation I started doing mock interviews for my BFF so she could get to know the heirs a little better.
Fun fact: Flower reminded me of Hotaru from Gakuen Alice and she wrote over 100 books in her life, over 80 of which were Non-Fiction How-To guides.
I chose this pose because it's super loving and shows off Flower's perpetually pregnant belly.
Tobe and Jelly Bean were the fifth gen couple. Their generation was marked by their achieving their LTW's before even getting married and then after getting married they had only 4 pregnancies, but 9 children. My computer couldn't handle it, so I had to move out the next heir before these two got a chance to be old and grey.
Fun Fact: These were my first sims to own a cat. They had a cat that was aqua with yellow spots and she was named after my junior high spanish teacher. She was a great kitty and maxed hunting quite quickly.
I chose this pose, because these two were friends for so much longer than they were lovers, and they are eternally youthful in my mind.
Flynn "ran away" from home while he was still a teenager, and moved to an abandoned island where he later married his imaginary friend and became a world famous horse jockey and established the throne of gen 6. The thing that stands out the most for me about them was Fluff's postpartum depression. We all know sims don't really have that, but the moment she gave birth she had to put her son down and run to work. Her schedule was basically work, eat, and sleep, so she never even interacted with their eldest son and heir until he was a child, and even then they shipped him off to boarding school and didn't see him until he was an adult. They had the weakest marriage of the legacy- which I attribute to her constantly working instead of helping him with the children (they had two kids).
Fun fact: Due to glitches I had to reply his teenhood 3 times, and each time I designed a new house for him. The first design was my favorite, but it was only big enough for 1 person.
I chose this pose for them because it is fairly emotionless and in my point of view speaks to their turbulent family life.
When Eugene came back to the deserted Island that was his family's home, he was appalled to find that his designated wife, his imaginary friend, had stayed a child for all those years. As there were no other eligible females around, he waited for a long time for Rapunzel to grow up so they could get married and rule generation 7 together. Their relationship was very sweet- but also strange. When she came home from boarding school, he was pushing middle age, so I rushed through their courtship and thought it would be cute to post-pose for as long as possible their first kiss. So they get engaged and then married, and then she goes in for their first kiss and he rejected her! I had never seen that happen. It was hilarious, though! Anyways, he made it up to her by beings incredibly romantic and attentive for the rest of their lives... which were cut short by their save file and their backup file melting into unrecognizable goo. Next to Alexander and Flower these two had the best marriage, and they had 3 children.
Fun fact: I named these two after the movie Tangled after I realized that the Gen 6 heir had the same name as Eugene's Alias in the movie. Also, Eugene's younger brother was named Ryder, teehee.
This is just a close up of the pose they were doing, but he's being all cool and relying on her (cos he's so much older and because he was a cool rock star) and she is making a heart with her hands because she always wanted a fairytale romance.
Roald was the 8th generation heir and the 3rd inventor of the legacy. He never got married or had a romantic interest, but due to time travelling he had two children. Roald was never meant to be the heir, but when I lost their save file he was the only one that was salvageable. Well, his younger brother Cube was supposed to be the heir, but to continue the legacy I had to remake a kid in cas, and I knew that I would always feel like Cube 2.0 was an impostor because I loved the original so much. So, as I hadn't paid attention to Roald during his childhood and because he was time travelling a lot I didn't have that problem. I was able to justify the sudden loss of everything as a mistake that he makes on one of his travels, I won't spoil it too much, but it's the basis for gen 3 and on of the story about the Thiels. He got a dog who dug up extremely valuable things and made over $200,000 for the family.
Fun facts: Roald is named after my next door neighbor in animal crossing. His younger brothers were twins Hopper and Cube, which are my favorite penguins. Hopper and Cube's IF's were Gwen and Friga, respectively. Roald did not have an IF, but if he did she would have been Aurora. I got the idea to name Cube after my favorite ac character of all time when he tragically moved away w/o telling me first. Losing simCube was almost as painful as losing acCube- I guess we're just not meant to be together. :'(
Also, I remade Roald by using Aaron's sim as a base and tweaking it to resemble Roald's pictures, the only thing they really had in common was their eyes.
I chose this pose for him because he looks lost and unsure, which is how he spent his entire life after his resurrection. He had no idea what he was doing with his kids and had no help in raising them, what-so-ever.
Joshua and Ana went to school together and were high school sweethearts. They married pretty young and became the generation 9 couple. They wasted no time in having one child, and only one child. Ana hates kids so she never did interact with Lilly, but Joshua was a really good father and taught Lilly all her skills. Their relationship was always a bit juvenile and tempestuous, which you might expect from a family-oriented sim marrying a sim who hates children. Because they were so close to the end of the legacy and didn't need money, I never got them established in careers or anything. If I had, he would have become a chef and she would have become a chess master.
Fun fact: It was during their generation that I started using poses for the sims, so I have tons of pictures of them in cute poses and lots of baby bump pix, too. When Joshua followed Roald out of the time machine he was dressed as a cowboy- so I kept that theme on him for the rest of his life, although in RL, I don't like country themes that much.
I chose this pose for them because he's sneaking up on her and being loving while she looks a bit unsure, which is how I saw their marriage. He was crazy in love with her, and she was never as into him.
Generation 10's heiress is an only child named Lilly. She loves fishing, nature, cooking, sculpting and sleeping. She grew up very close to her father and grandfather, but not her mother (for obvious reasons). The outstanding point about her generation is that I didn't play it yet... lol. She's still a toddler in my game, though I'm sure I will eventually raise her as she is going to be an important part of TLFTL.
Fun facts: I have absolutely no idea where I got her name from, aside from the fact that it's slightly common. She has Leighton's eyes- which succeeded being inherited down through 10 generations! (Not the color, just the shape) She looks mostly like her grandmother- Agnes Crumplebottom and I have no idea where she inherited black hair from as her father is a redhead and her mother is blond. Her personality was randomised in CAS when I made her a YA sim for the photo shoot- so I don't know that it was actually stay with being so out-doorsy.

That's it for the Thiels generations, stay tuned for the rest of their story in the following months! If you have any questions, please leave a comment!
