Swansons Simlit legacy photo
So this is my legacy Family Photo 
The sims family is not in any particular order, but the 2 sims which are Centered on the couch are Gen 7 Jane Oliva Grace Swanson, and her husband-to-be, Henry Guion, On our left (her right) is the founder Clarissa (Saree) and her husband Bai Swanson on the other side of Jane and Henry is America Swanson and her own Mom, Hannah Swanson with on the floor sitting Jacob and David Swanson, Hannah's (Gen 2) and America's (Gen 3) husbands. The only woman without a partner really in this picture is behind America and Hannah, She's Elizabeth Swanson (Gen 4). on the far right is Juliet Swanson, (Gen 5) with her husband Romeo Swanson on the far middle left.
The last two sims are Selene Swanson and her husband Jay Swanson-Jane's own parents. Here's a labelled photo so you know who is who:
With the exception of the bride outfit, there's a reason I have the sims wear paritcular clothing so if you want to know just ask!
@Disneywoman
could you please make the names bigger ? thank you.
@spongbobishappy let's see if this works if I got the names bigger
@Disneywoman You did a nice job on this. I am very proud of your work. I truly am.
@calmMango9611 Thanks Mango. But after working on it for 8 years after two chapters from now. I'm going to take a little break (2-3 months) and play other games (Democracy 4 and try to remember how Crusader King III works to play it and maybe others). And when I'm refreshed i will come back and do Gen 8
@Disneywoman That is fine. Maybe share your other games, if you would like to do that. If not, that is ok. No worries. Just thought that a change of pace, might be helpful.
@calmMango9611 I don't know if I can post any pictures from CK III or the game (Democracy 4) I'm going to buy once I'm get to my "intermission" of my Swanson SimLit
@Disneywoman That is ok, my friend. No worries.
@Disneywoman You do a really nice job, my friend. I am very proud of you.
@calmMango9611 thank you, and I just took some photos of Wedding guests and some of the briddal party (and the bride) showing up at the wedding venue:
Prince Maxwell with his Sister-in-law Princess Eleanor
l party
Prince Dan with his niece Isabella Swanson (Isabella's sister)
Duchess Sara Wendy Grant with her husband Kade.
The groom's parents (and they're but not their children- are based on real people) Alica and Mat Guion
Her Royal Majesty Empress Selene Swanson, and his Royal Highness prince Jay
Bridal party-woman is Princess Hannah (Hannah Amy Margo) Prince Maxwell's wife, and Jane's twin but I forgotten who the other sims are-but they're all more or less related to the Swansons in some way. Reese Bersjen is the one Princess Hannah has her hand too, but I can't remember the others but Bailey woods (child) is behind Hannah holding another toddler
and the bride arriving at the venue:
@Disneywoman These are amazing my friend. They truly are. I love you, my friend.
@calmMango9611 when I get back here I will do a very detailed analysis of how Swansons are related to the people in the bridal party in the last picture.
@Disneywoman Sounds good, my friend.
@Disneywoman
OMG!!!! thats so beautiful!!!🥹🥹💜 I love playing the sims too!!!
@Disneywoman
They look pleasant enough, I guess...
(It's hard for me to relate to virtual characters, avatars, etc.)
Also, I didn't know anyone still played the Sims. Simcity was huge in the late 2000's, if memory serves.
@slowdecline48 There's still a large community that plays the game. But some people have taken the sims like myself write stories with them. But to be honest its like being all-in-one department of a film studio- script writer, costume designer/dresser, sometimes built sets I need for the story to work, and director.
And the sims can be just as annoying as real actors, because when I try to get them to pose, they walk away
So the one red head toddler, their name is Reese Bjergsen, The Bjergsen family were basically the Montagues to Swansons' Capulets for 4 generations. The Bjergsen's were also, the original royal family of Windenburg until Romeo's dad, gave the power of the monarch to the Swansons. to make up for what his family had done for the last 4 generations previous. Because in Gen 5 Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love and get married But due to "plot reasons" they had to give up one twin (Selene), and they don't see her again for 30 years.
The next toddler is one of my Simself's family descendants. The only thing I can tell you is that Sara's Wendy's Dad was also a descendant of Charming and Swanson lines. Hannah I's only brother liked to have multiple partners so he had a lot of children one son, Sergio I married the daughter of my Simself, and they had children and a grandchild who would be Sergio II. Sergio II would marry Raven Grant, Sara Wendy's mother. (both both Sergio II and Raven Grant die young )
Baliee Woods (child) is something like 3rd cousin once removed to the Swanson family. Her distant Uncle Wyatt Wood, was in an arranged marriage with Elizabeth Swanson. But Wyatt "swinged the other way". And also the Wood family came from the country of Afana to escape the horrors there- (think of history), So he had trouble adjusting to the new country.
and Pollyanna O'Malley (child) at the back - The O'Malley's are the caretaker family of a homeless shelter I built for the game. Not only is there a beds (sleeping bags) for homeless people, but on the 2nd floor there's also a therapist room as well. And there's also is a office which i have doubled for some kind of office or other. The O'Malleys are related twice over to Swansons. One of Hannah's nephews from her eldest sister Carly, married the daughter of the First O'Malley. Hannah's own great-granddaughter married the great-grandson of the Original O'Malley who is also the 2nd time great grandson of Clarissa Swanson.
This is an early/late Mother's Day picture (early since Mother's Day isn't utnil Sunday for me) and Late because for UK
Mother's Day was in March.
good temple went from this:
to this:
to this:
A temple? It looks more like a minor nobleman's castle...nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think every landowner should be allowed to build his/her own castle if (s)he wants so. That one looks nice.
homeless shelter/office/thepary place
@Disneywoman Your very talented my friend.
Nice. 👌🏼
If only building residential & other structures in real life were that easy... *sigh*
