Albus Severus – The Harwood Legacy

Chapter 6.4: Hocus Pocus

Published on July 16, 2021 by gacornellLeave a comment

Last chapter Remus Alastor aged up to a teen. Albus and Aadhya graduated from University and had their daughter Zelda. Albus also became a spellcaster after achieving his computer whiz aspiration. Remus became a Llamacorn scout and then became a babysitter. Ginny sadly passed away.

Oops I forgot it was Albus’ birthday. Sorry Albus!

The Onesie grandma Ginny made.

Aadhya graduated with an A- so she didn’t get any honors. I’m going to have her focus on her aspiration to become a Master Maker so she is not going to get a job, at least until she can complete her aspiration.

Albus and Aadhya try for their second baby.

Aunt Lily tries to settle Zelda down but quickly leaves that for dad to deal with.

Baby number two is on it’s way and Albus freaked out at the news, possibly because they just had a baby.

Keeping up with this house is a full time job between the ghosts breaking things and the dust bunnies; at least this isn’t my ISBI and I can have all hands on deck, so to speak, with this household.

Albus challenges Remus to a friendly duel and is quickly trounced by his younger brother.

Embarrassed Albus goes to the Realm of Magic to get some training from the sage of Mischief magic.

He spies James Sirius there in a outfit I didn’t dress him in.

Albus goes home to brush up on his Spellcraft so he doesn’t get defeated so easily next time. He is learning the Furio spell.

James calls Albus and challenges him to a duel which this time Albus is victorious!

Albus comes back to age up Zelda into a toddler! The red heads are strong in this family! She also has freckles! Zelda rolled Angelic. She is a spellcaster with the strong bloodlines trait.

She is rather adorable.

Zelda working on her communication and quickly masters the skill.

With a smoother delivery than last Aadhya and Albus welcome their second child Link Harwood.

Making sure that Zelda doesn’t feel left out now that she is an older sister Aadhya plays with Zelda. Aadhya not need worry about sibling jealousy as Zelda is quite happy with her new sibling.

Albus comes home with a promotion to Dot-Com Pioneer.

Zelda next works on her movement skill.

It’s time for Remus’ Young Adult birthday. He rolled Outgoing.

Remus gets his picture taken then moves out to live with Lily in San Myshuno.

Aadhya helps Zelda with her thinking skill and Albus makes sure Zelda has some fun as well.

This cutie pie rolled Clingy. Like his sister he has red eyes and freckles! Unlike his sister he inherited his mother’s brown hair. Link is a spellcaster with strong bloodlines trait.

Link has these cool pointed ears but they don’t show up in CAS, I don’t know what that means.

Albus picked up the microphone and has a new hobby of signing.

Toddler skilling. Zelda has mastered communication, movement and potty skills, she has level 3 in imagination and thinking. Link has mastered communication, he has level 3 or 4 in movement.

Aadhya was tense from potentially losing her close-knit lifestyle so she does some yoga I don’t think she adds it to her likes yet. I guess I should have her make some friends.

Aadhya invites the doctor, Sarah Blankenship, that delivered Zelda into the world to become her friend. Sarah Blankenship is of some relation to the Harwoods. Aadhya gave Sarah one of her carved candles.

And in return Sarah gives Aadhya Grim Dye!

Zelda starts in on her “Why” phase and quickly passes it mastering her thinking skill. She now only needs one more level to master her imagination!

Aadhya and Albus get started on baby #3.

Which is a success! Albus is happy about it if not a little worried about handling three kids, but they’ve got this!

Later that day Albus comes home with a promotion to Start-up Genius which is the top of the tech guru career. I forget to mention that Aadhya got a job in the Freelance career as it is apart of her aspiration to complete 5 jobs.

Aadhya makes a bed with the Grim Dye. I want to upgrade it to see if I can improve the quality more.

Zelda mastered her imagination skill making her a Top-Notch Toddler! And that dress is just so cute!

Albus was trying to make more Potion of Plentiful Needs and ended up being cursed with Unwarranted Hostility. Luckily he had a “free sample” from when he learned the potion for curse cleansing. However unluckily for him he got cursed again later in the day with the curse of Awkward Embraces. He now has to wait for more mandrake to grow before he can make another potion.

Aadhya has completed her aspiration and is a Master Maker! Her new aspiration is Lady of the Knits.

It’s time for Zelda to make a wish and blow out her candles! She rolled Goofball to no ones surprise as both parents are goofballs. She aspires to be a Whiz Kid.

Family Updates

First up we have the Twins Ronald and Septimius, Fred and Alexis’ kids, who are no longer kids but Teens. Septimius is a spellcaster, Ronald is not.

Walter Harwood’s daughter Alexis Harwood is now a child.

And lastly we have Roxanne Harwood, daughter of Mary Harwood and Great Great granddaughter to Vex’ahlia Harwood.

Chapter 6.3: Ascension

Published on July 11, 2021 by gacornellLeave a comment

Last chapter Ginny finally reached Global Superstar status and was able to put her plaque on the walk of fame. She then had her elder birthday and quit her job. Aadhya won the spice eating contest. Sims Sessions came to town and the whole family had some fun. We sadly had to say goodbye to Harry.

We start off the chapter with Remus Alastor’s birthday! Remus rolled Vegetarian and aspires to be a Painter Extraordinaire.

Remus starts learning the ways of a Spellcaster.

Aadhya keeps loosing to the fabricator, so while she waits for the moodlet to ware off she hits the treadmill. Fitness becomes on of her likes.

Apparently Remus experienced an epic wedgie at school and came home quite uncomfortable.

Aadhya got some new scholarships, just not the E-Sports one.

Remus is now a Pegasus scout.

Aadhya is all caught up on her school work so she can work on her aspiration.

Aadhya makes a couple of candles.

Ginny: So I knitted you this onesie for when you and Albus finally decide to have children

Aadhya: Thanks Ginny! This is perfect.

Also during this time we learn that Fred and George have passed away.

Among the energy drinks Albus gets from sponsors he also got a chair and some posters.

I have never used the fizzy drink machine so I had Aadhya try it out. She made some glowfruit fizzy juice.

Since both Aadhya and Albus are almost done with their last semester of university they try for baby and are successful!

Aadhya told the new to Albus and at first he was shocked but that quickly turned into elation at the news he was going to be a father.

Albus got his grades in and he is an A+ student!

Remus has achieved Llamacorn scout status. He soon quits the scouts and goes for a paid career as babysitter

The camera pans to the basement bathroom where Ginny waves then lays down on the floor to wait for grim to take her to her next life. Albus tried to plead with grim but he was unrelenting.

Ginny is laid to rest next to her husband.

Ginny passed away minutes before Albus graduated from university. Also Albus like a little high heel to go with his graduation robes. Poor Albus though was a wreck the whole time.

Albus looking very distinguished with his diploma. He got a job in the Tech Guru career and immediately completed his aspiration. He graduated with honors and got a signing bonus of 2,349 Simoleons.

So I wasn’t sure I was going to have him become a spellcaster but after he completed his computer whiz aspiration I wasn’t sure what to do with him. I just really like spellcasters and want to keep them in the family. After Albus completes his Spellcraft and Sorcery aspiration I will randomly roll for his next one. As he already has the weak bloodline trait he doesn’t have to collect the motes.

It’s Winterfest and the brothers exchange gifts. Albus gifted Remus one of his sponsored energy drinks and I forget what Remus gave Albus 😦

Lily Luna: So I see you decided to go through the Rite of Ascension. You have a lot to learn brother before you can beat me!

Lily Luna won the duel.

Father Winter decided to avail himself of Albus and Aadhya’s bathroom.

Aadhya went into labor and Albus went into typical freak out mode. However the labor didn’t go smoothly as the doctor was wildly flailing the controls. Slide 4 just shows the doctors utter terror, not what you want to see in your doctors expressions. Albus was not amused at the whole experience.

However Aadhya and their daughter Zelda came out of it alright. Since both Albus and Aadhya are big gaming nerds all their kids will be named after video game characters. One of my favorite Gameboy games growing up was the Legend of Zelda.

Albus: I’m so happy you’re home.

Family Updates

Walter Harwood’s daughter Alexis is a toddler. Which makes Alexis the Great Great Granddaughter to Vex’ahlia Harwood and Great Great Grandniece to Percival Harwood.

Roxanne is the daughter of Mary Harwood. Mary is Walter’s sister.

Walter’s second eldest daughter Madison is now a child.

Bill and Fleur’s sons Louis and Dominick Harwood.

Fjord Harwood’s daughter Ember Madea-Harwood. Fjord is Vax’ildan’s grandson so Ember is Vax’s great granddaughter.

Chapter 6.2: A Star is Born

Published on July 2, 2021 by gacornellLeave a comment

Last time Albus and Aadhya got married. Albus is majoring in Computer Science and is finished or just about with his first semester as well as Aadhya. Ginny is still progressing in her fame and almost has her 5th star. Remus continues to work on his aspiration as well as scouting badges, he currently is a Griffon scout. Harry continues to be the best house husband and supportive father.

Albus works on his homework while Catarina chows down on some grilled fruit. Caterina is the sim responsible for all the red heads as he was the first in the family.

Poor Remus had a nightmare that’s more suited to Albus as Albus actually has made a mobile app.

Aadhya discovers she likes dancing.

The two sisters in law bond over joining the Harwood family. Aadhya tells Miki of the scholarships she earned for her next semester.

Since Aadhya is just waiting on her finals results she starts working on her aspiration as a Master Maker. When she is recycling she learns she passed with all classes with an A.

Albus is tense from his Single and Loving it lifestyle yet he still wants to embrace his wife, now that’s true love.

Remus comes home with an A, but also with the sad news that Uncle Bill has passed away.

James comes by to give a gift to his mom, turns out it’s one apple.

Ginny: James you do know we have an apple tree, but I appreciate the thought.

Just two brothers catching up doing homework. I like to imagine Albus is also helping Remus with his homework.

I made a crafting room down in the basement. I still have yet to use the fizz machine.

Aadhya successfully made a side table but when she went back to make another the fabricator splatted paint all over her.

Ginny has finally reached Global Superstar and is now able to place her plaque on the walk of fame. Harry cheered her on as she placed her diamond.

Just in time to as it’s her birthday. She has one more gig to go than I think she will quit.

The Spice Festival rolled into town and Aadhya dragged the fam to participate in the spice challenge. Ginny had her last gig so she wasn’t able to come. Of course Aadhya won the spice challenge due to her trait.

Remus was the last to leave the festival as he was playing on the monkey bars achieving level 9 in his motor skill.

Ginny just quit her job as a Silver Screen Idol. I think I will try to keep her fame up by having her make videos.

She wanted to cook a vegetarian meal and since they were running out of left overs I obliged.

Lily comes by pretty regularly and she and Ginny catch up on old times.

Albus and Aadhya get their couples’ portrait done and Aadhya gets added to the family wall. I don’t have any plans for Lily in the romance department, but if that changes I’ll make updates.

Like the fabricator is wont todo it acts up and dunks Aadhya.

Luckily she can still get fabrication skill by using the candle making station.

Just for funzies, no TFB.

Remus completes his aspiration!

Sims Sessions came and the family joined even some cousins were at the event. Nymphadora came up and hugged Albus. Everett, the green one, and Aidan Harwood, the pink haired one, were also there. Aadhya all on her own ordered a veggie burger maybe Ginny’s influence is rubbing off on her. Ginny and Harry had a grand ol’ time in the tents.

A few hours after the concert Harry’s time arrived. Ginny was down in the basement and by the time she got up stairs she missed the whole thing. Rest in Peace Harry, you brought magic into our lives.

Family Updates

Ronald and Septimius, Fred and Alexis’ twin boys. Septimius is a spellcaster.

Before Bill died he and Fleur were expecting their son Dominic. He is the only spellcaster of their three children.

Chapter 6.1: Majoring in Love

Published on June 28, 2021 by gacornellLeave a comment

Last chapter was Albus Severus’ first official chapter as head of household of the Harwood family. We updated a few rooms to the house. Albus joined university as a Computer Science major, and it is a distinguished degree; he meet Aadhya and Lanuola there and became good friends with them. Remus had his birthday and is now a child and Lily Luna became a YA, got a job in the culinary career and moved out to live in San Myshuno. I know the title is terrible, but it was the only one I could think of.

Ginny: So why are you eating in here when we have a perfectly good dinning table…..and even bar stools?

Remus: I could ask you the same question.

Remus: Woo! Griffon Scout status!

Albus invites Lanuola out to get to know her better. He learns she likes Lullabies Radio music, is a Geek and gained the closer from happy memories sentiment. After talking for a few sim hours Lanuola started to wander around so Albus took the hint and said his goodbyes.

Albus did try the goof around interaction and it looked like Lanuola didn’t like it but their friendship bar did move towards the positive.

He then invited Aadhya out to the lounge in Del Sol Valley to see if he could ascertain any of her traits. He did learn she is a Bro and gained the deeply connected sentiment. Based off the sentiments alone it seems like Albus is more into Aadhya as a romantic interest and Lanuola as a friend, but I sill want to learn both of their final trait before making a decision.

After Albus comes home from his E-sports meeting he gains the sedentary and workaholic lifestyles. He also comes home the Team Capitan which isn’t bad for the end of his first semester. He has like 2 more days until his finals.

Because I am evil and Albus does spend too much time on the computer I had him do a workout.

I took this picture because I like this corner of the room, but also it needs more plants.

I just want Albus to be surrounded by plants.

Oh hey, it’s Paolo! Looking good Paolo!

Harry being the self-absorbed sim, though rarely displayed, he is wanted to take a selfie and I obliged him. He was in the basement bathroom and pay no mind to the glitching walls.

Albus sends Lanuola a playful text and she invites him out to a park in Mt.Komorebi where he learns her last trait is adventurous just like him. So each of the women he is “courting” has one shared trait. Lanuola has a shared Major and Aadhya has a shared hobby in video gaming.

Albus then takes Aadhya out to the park in Willow Creek to attain her last trait which is Clumsy. Since Albus has stronger sentiments for Aadhya and from a playing stand point it would be nice to do a different Major at University Albus askes Aadhya on a date.

Albus took her to the café she first took him to on a friend hang out where they flirted, shared their first kiss and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Albus gained the Smitten and closer memories sentiments.

Back at home Remus works on his aspiration, he is on the last tier of his milestones. Also I just noticed an element cube behind Remus. *makes mental note to collect it*

Since Albus is done with everything for school until his finals I let him do his own thing and he picks up the skill for piano and ends up liking it, just like great-grandma Harmony.

Lanuola calls Albus to congratulate him on his new relationship with Aadhya. No hard feelings here.

It was spirit day so Albus invited his teammates over to the Pub in Britechester for a little team meeting, he also invited Aadhya and after he chatted with his team for a bit they ended up flirting. And on this outing I got another notification that Harry’s time is coming to an end.

Since Albus, and myself, really want his dad to be at his wedding he quickly, but romantically proposes to Aadhya down by the river in Britechester. I did give Aadhya a bit of a make over. These two are so adorable!

The two had a beautiful night ceremony at Center Park where Harry arrived in style on his broom. The couple exchanged their vows and became Husband and Wife.

Aadhya immediately decided to do her homework giving Arthur Harwood, who wasn’t invited to the wedding, some side eye. There were a couple of sims, mainly children, who came uninvited because Ginny is a celebrity.

Albus distracts his wife with an air kiss. She really should be enjoying her wedding and not doing her homework. I ended the event a little early as they had a gold medal and also the option to cut the cake wasn’t popping up.

Back home Albus reaches level 10 in video gaming and Aadhya continues her homework. She already has 2 units out of 12 completed.

Welcome Aadhya Trivedi Harwood! She is a Goofball, Bro and Clumsy. Her aspiration is Master Maker which means she also has the Muser trait and she is a Fine Arts major. She happens to have the Spice Hound trait so the Spice Festival is her jam!

I got the Harwoods a telescope. They had one at one point but I guess I sold it, anyways they have one now.

We learn that Aadhya hates Island Décor and already wants to try for baby with Albus, all in due time.

Lily came by to say hi to Harry and the plants. She is a green friend so she spends a lot of time with them.

Aadhya finished working on her homework and starts on her projects. She askes Harry for his input before refining her project. She then moves on to work on her term paper. Aadhya and Albus do drink the Potion of Plentiful Needs to get their homework done.

Harry helps out Remus on his school project.

Another day of class means more homework. Albus is in his second semester and Aadhya already had two course units completed before becoming a member of the household.

The couple go to the campus together as they have classes at the same time and Aadhya gives Albus a passionate kiss before heading off to class.

I will end the chapter here. I do have some family updates below.

Family Updates

Victoire and Louis Harwood, Bill and Fleur’s daughter and son.

Arthur, Freddy and Roxanne, triplets of George and Angelina Harwood.

Madisyn and Alessandra, Walter Harwood’s daughters.

Chapter 6.0: Albus Severus

Published on June 23, 2021 by gacornellLeave a comment

Last Chapter the heir to generation 6 was announced: Albus Severus Harwood; the second eldest to Ginny and Harry and the only non spellcaster in the family, besides Ginny, a squib one may call him. James Sirius married his girlfriend Miki Akiyama and moved in with her and her family in Mt. Komorebi. The newest addition was born into the family, Remus Alastor Harwood; he also had his toddler birthday. Lily was promoted Llamacorn scout, quit her job and is now employed in the fast food career. And Albus completed his scouting career and became an YA. And now the chapter begins!

Oh yeah and Albus enrolled in university. Now the chapter can begin!

We start off with a little renovation. Albus moved from his room to the old media room and I turned the laundry room into an on suit bathroom. I do have some CC from littledica and Harrie.

I also updated the Kitchen, Living and dining rooms.

Lily threw a dinner party at 8’oclock in the morning for her milestone. She had a successful silver medal event and ended the dinner early. Albus did his homework the entire time.

Albus was able to complete four homework assignments with his needs going down very little. His bladder and energy were in the yellow when he finished his last assignment. I was in a grove and wanted him to continue on with his projects so he downs one of is dads Potions of Plentiful Needs and gets back to it!

Ginny came home from work with a fourth star to her fame making her a Proper Celebrity. She only needs one more star before she can earn that star on the walk of fame. And as you can see Al is working on his presentation.

I send him to the Foxbury commons in hopes he would meet some potential spouses, but it was 10 pm by this time and no one was around. So instead he got to work on one of his term papers.

That’s an interesting place to read to your toddler.

I’m preparing Albus, and my self, for the day when his dad can’t magically fix the broken objects around the house.

The why phase has hit and Harry is not pleased. But Remus Alastor gets to level 5 thinking!

Albus is off to his E-sports meeting.

James is a frequent visitor and he plays the piano so much he adds it to one of his likes.

Miki also popped by for a visit and Ginny took this opportunity to take her photo and give her the key to the house. Now I just need a picture of her and James together.

Remus Alastor reached level 5 imagination, which brings him to Top-Notch toddler! I don’t know why but he was so much easier to skill than his siblings. It’s probably his Angelic trait.

Harry for the second time in his whole life was cursed with the Curse of Unwarranted Hostility. He then drank a curse cleansing potion only to be cursed a second time with the Curse of Infectious Laughter. Luckily second time was the charm and he drank another curse cleansing potion to get rid of the two curses he acquired.

Ginny invited Miki over to take her picture and to give her the house key. I love how James and Miki’s picture mirror’s Ginny and Harry’s picture.

Albus comes home form his E-Sports meeting with a promotion to Alternate.

And then his picture was taken and added to the wall as well.

Albus spends the next few hours doing homework and working on his charisma skill for a promotion in E-sports.

Albus goes to university early to chat up his teammates and to hopeful see a potential spouse, but alas he had to go to class before anyone showed up.

After class he goes to the commons to work on his gaming and increase his fun when he meets Aadhya Trivedi and Lanuola Lefao. Aadhya likes video gaming and is a Fine Arts major. Lanuola is a Computer Science major and likes the Violin. That’s all I find out about them before they leave and before Albus gets into a pro gaming tournament which he loses.

Back home it’s Remus’ birthday and he rolled Active and Rambunctious Scamp.

Remus got straight to work doing his homework, then joining scouts and earning his first badge which was civic responsibility. Remus kept putting down the dirty stack of dishes before he could put them in the dishwasher so I had to keep directing him to pick them up and every time he did so he earn a point to his badge.

Harmony painted this painting and I think I might keep it. I don’t usually like the paintings that came with cats and dogs but this one kind of goes with the color scheme Albus has going on.

Albus only had one class this day so he texted Lanuola and she met up with him. Their first interaction didn’t go so well, I guess she didn’t like the crazy scheme he proposed. Their interaction did get better but Lanuola had to go. Albus did learn that she likes basic décor.

Aadhya was in the vicinity so Albus took a picture with her to build up friend ship but then he had to go to his E-sports meeting, or was it a game….

It is season premier day and Ginny and Harry watch together. They are one of the cutest couples I have had in the game.

Albus came home with another promotion this time as a Teammate!

Because Albus has to work on charisma for his E-sports I decided to give him the Great Kisser trait. And here are all of his other traits.

I just love Harry, I’m gonna miss him when he is gone. I did get one of those “It’s his time” notifications, so we shall see…..

Albus sent Aadhya a happy text and she invited him to hang out. We learn that she dislikes the color orange, she likes kids radio music, she is a goofball and dislikes Island Décor. I didn’t have them do any romantic interaction because I want Albus to learn all traits and have a full friendship bar. At the end of the hang out Albus gained the Adoring sentiment with Aadhya.

Then Aadhya had to leave and Albus invited Lanuola to hang out. He learned she Dislikes the color brown and loves the outdoors. At the end of the hang out Albus gained the growing closer from quality time sentiment.
