Color Theory Legacy Challenge

Do you like color? Do you like legacy challenges that switch things up each generation? Do you like family cozy gameplay AND spicy dramatic gameplay?

Well, then this is the legacy challenge for you! Inspired by classic legacy challenges like the Not So Berry Challenge by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming and Such Colorful Lives by @thepanplumbob, this legacy challenge is a ten generation legacy challenge where each generation's goals and personality are based on the color theory of their assigned color!

General Rules: 1. Normal Lifespan recommended 2. Each Heir must represent the color of their generation BUT Berry sims are not required (Though feel free to use them if you want!) 3. Keep money cheats to a minimum! 4. Each heir must complete their required Careers and Aspirations unless specifically stated otherwise 5. Each heir can be any of the previous heir's children, no matter the birth order, unless specifically stated otherwise

Generation One: White - The Beginning White symbolizes innocence, purity, and beginnings... People call you innocent… naive… But that’s not really the case. You know exactly how cruel the world can be so you strive to make it a better place. You pour yourself into your career and your children and your marriage, determined to spend your life helping others and to raise children that help others, too.Your house is always sparklingly clean and there’s always a hot meal on the table and an extra bed (or sleeping bag or couch) for sims who need it.

Traits: Good, Generous, Neat

Aspiration: Friend of the World

Career: Doctor

Other Requirements:

Gain and Maintain a Pristine Reputation 

Master Charisma and Cooking Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Baking Skill

Have a Good Friends Relationship with all your kids

Donate to charity every week, as much as you can afford

Have an idyllic romance with your partner that inspires your heir

Optional: Master the Parenting Skill

Continued Under the Cut:

Generation Two: Pink - The Romantic Nurturer Pink symbolizes love, compassion, and nurturing. You just love love! Your parents had an idyllic romance that taught you what love was supposed to look like. And you want everyone to have that kind of love! Including yourself! The problem is you just can't seem to decide which sim owns your heart! You have a couple lovers as a teen before finally settling down with your soulmate and raising a family together. 

Traits: Perfectionist, Lovebug, Family Oriented

Aspiration: Paragon Partner (teen), Big Happy Family (adult)

Career: Romantic Consultant (either branch)

Other Requirements:

Master Parenting and Romance Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Charisma Skill

Spoil your kids rotten (Rarely use the Punish option when correcting them)

Stay Soulmates with your spouse and go on one date a week

Optional: Have a love triangle as a teen

Generation Three: Red - The Passionate Actor Red symbolizes passion. You are a very passionate person, you always have been, but you’ve never cared for being kind. Not like your parent. You’re more of a hot-head, and tell it like it is. This means you make a lot of enemies. Who cares about Enemies when you have lovers? But none of those lovers are good enough for you, so you hop from one to the next, leaving a trail of broken hearts (and maybe one or two affair babies). For all your romantic exploits, your true love is the stage. You want to see your name up in lights!

Traits: Hot-Headed, Mean, Romantic

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Career: Actor

Other Requirements:

Master Romance, and Acting Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Mischief Skill

Have more Enemies than Friends

Have three kids, all with different married sims.

Have a negative relationship with all your kids

Become a 5 Star Celebrity

Optional: Interact with your kids as little as possible, have them raised by a sibling, grandparent, or nanny

Generation Four: Brown - The Steadfast Farmer Brown is the color of strength and reliability. You’ve never gotten on too well with your parents. Neither of them were ever really around, so as the oldest, you sort of ended up as your younger siblings’ default parent. Of course, your grandparents did what they could to help, but they had their own lives. So, when you could, you found solace in animals. Animals aren’t like people, they don’t hurt you on purpose.  When you’re finally old enough, you take your younger siblings and ditch your parents, moving to the countryside to finally have some peace. There, you build up a farm, with livestock and horses, and, of course, a family that actually loves each other.

Traits: Animal Enthusiast, Rancher, Loyal

Aspiration: Country Caretaker

Career: None, make money off your crops, livestock, and nectar

Other Requirements:

MUST be the eldest child of the Red generation

Master Horse Riding, Gardening, and Nectar Making skills

Own at least one pet (horses, dogs, or cats, it's up to you) at any given time

Own A Ranch or Farm with Chickens, Goats or Sheep, and Cows or Llamas

Once you reach Young Adulthood, run away from home with your younger siblings and raise them on your own.

Optional: do a Rags to Riches Challenge with this generation

Generation Five: Orange - The Childish Adventurer Orange symbolizes adventure and youthful passion. Okay, so you’re a bit of an oddball. Who cares? You delight in being unabashedly yourself! Your family was close knit, not just your parents and siblings, but your pets, cousins, and aunts and uncles as well, and they never tried to dull your sparkle. But the countryside, for all of its bucolic beauty, just doesn’t satisfy your love of adventure, so shortly after your adult birthday, you kiss your family goodbye and set off to see the world.

Traits: Adventurous, Cringe, Childish

Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast

Career: Athlete

Other Requirements:

Master Fitness and Rock Climbing Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Skiing or Snowboarding skills

Live in three different worlds (not including the one you were raised)

Marry an Active Sim

Go on vacation to each of the vacation worlds at least once

Optional: Gain the Adrenaline Seeker lifestyle

Generation Six: Yellow - The Paranoid Techie Yellow symbolizes cheerfulness and happiness, but also cowardice or fear. You’ve always been a little… cautious. You’re not adventurous like your parent, choosing instead to be a homebody. Social stuff and trying new things are just a bit too daunting for you. So, you find your outlets in tech and video games instead. The people in those circles don’t seem to care as much about your awkwardness.  And there, among zeros and ones and other geeks, you finally blossom, transforming into a sunny, bright person. You’ll never be especially social, but your small circle is enough for you.

Traits: Paranoid, Socially Awkward, Cheerful

Aspiration: Computer Whiz

Career: Tech Guru

Other Requirements:

Master Programming and Video Gaming Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Handiness Skill

Have a club of fellow geeky friends who you get together and game with regularly

Move to San Myshuno and spend your whole life there

Have only two children

Optional: Gain the Techie lifestyle or the Geek trait

Generation Seven: Green - The Eco-Conscious Hippie Green symbolizes nature and vitality but also jealousy. You never quite fit in with your family members. While your parents and sibling all had a similar passion for technology, yours is a bit more nature focused. In fact, you're a bit of a hippie. There's no shame in that!  As soon as you're old enough, you leave the smog and traffic of the city behind and move to Evergreen Harbor, hoping to live a greener life, only to come face to face with a community in sore need of a clean up.  You've never been one to back down from a challenge so you roll up your sleeves and get to work. Unfortunately, you spend so much time on your projects that you don't have time for love… until one day you notice everyone else seems to have gotten married and had kids, leaving you behind! Will you ever find the love you desire before it's too late?

Traits: Recycle Disciple, Freegan, Jealous.

Aspiration: Master Maker

Career: Freelance Crafter

Other Requirements:

Master Fabricating and Wellness skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Herbalism skill

Clean Up Evergreen Harbor

Live an Eco-Conscious life (Off The Grid lot, tiny home if possible)

Stay single until you are an Adult

Have only one child

Optional: Marry a sim in the Eco Innovator Career

Generation Eight: Blue - The Ocean-Loving Artist Blue symbolizes inspiration and creativity. You’ve always been a bit of a gloomy sim. Maybe that’s because Evergreen Harbor doesn’t have much scope for the imagination. It’s nice that the town is all cleaned up thanks to your parent, but you often find yourself at the docks, staring at the sea. Here, it’s gray and green and not much else. While you find the colors you love in the gems you collect and shape, you find yourself wishing you could see those colors in your beloved ocean. So, as soon as you’re able, you make your way to Sulani. But once there, you discover that the islands are in a sorry state. You’ve learned a thing or two about helping the environment from your parents, so you roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Traits: Creative, Gloomy, Child of the Ocean

Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire

Career: Conservationist

Other Requirements:

Clean Up Mua Pel’am

Master Painting and Gemology skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Fishing skill

Live In Sulani and Marry a Native

Live on the Beach

Optional: Finish the Sea Shell Collection, become a Mermaid

Generation Nine: Purple - The Self-Absorbed Scientist Purple symbolizes luxury and ambition. You’ve never loved the podunk environment of the Islands. You want more, something grander, something befitting your genius. Something that makes you known. And what better way to do that than making the lives of sims better with your inventions? You wouldn’t call yourself a mad scientist, in fact, you’re very sane. It’s not your fault people don’t appreciate your genius!

Traits: Genius, Self Absorbed, Ambitious

Career: Scientist

Aspiration: Mansion Baron

Other Requirements:

Master Logic and Robotics Skills

Reach at least Level Five of the Rocket Science skill

Max Scientist Career

Marry an Evil Sim 

Optional: Have an Alien Baby (doesn’t have to be the heir)

Generation Ten: Black - The Ending Black symbolizes death, darkness, and mystery. People assume that when you dress in all black and talk about death that you’re a bad person. And they would be right. About you, at least. Maybe that comes from having Evil Scientists as parents. Who knows. Whatever it is, you’ve always had a fascination with whatever comes after life. And you’ve always felt Death hovering at your side but maybe he’s not the enemy you thought he was…

Traits: Macabre, Evil, Chased By Death

Aspiration: Ghost Historian

Career: Reaper

Other Requirements:

Master Thanatology, Medium, and Writing Skills

Live in a Haunted House for Seven Days

Write Horror Novels in your free time

Have a baby with GrimDie Young and Become an Evil Ghost

Not So Berry Plus Challenge for the TS3

I didn't create this challenge, I simply added and modified somethings to fit more for what TS3 has to offer while trying to keep to the NSB playstyle and heart of the challenge. So if you like the NSB but want more to do in the TS3 version of it, this is a challenge for you.

Disclaimer: I didn't make this challenge, @lilsimsie did. I also incorporated ideas from @simlovinggirl from her TS3 version of this challenge. Also inspiration from @sweetlysimss from their updated version of the TS4 version. Also sim wikia page for all information i need in terms of gameplay.

Tag: the normal nsb tag or "nsb plus" or "nsb +" or "@" me

Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!

Pairing: Josh Washington x Reader

Genre: Fluff with a little spice (?) at the end

Warnings: none

The camera was set up. The jellybeans were all laid out on the bed, separated in their own cups. Now the twins were just waiting for Josh to finish messing with his hair.

“C’mon Josh! You’ve been staring at yourself for 20 minutes!” Beth groaned. Her sister, Hannah, had to nod in agreement.

“Seriously, your hair looks fine, so can we please just start recording already?”

Despite the girls’ annoyance, Josh continued to toy with the front of his hair for a few more minutes. He only stopped once he realized the tiny strands he kept trying to push back were just gonna have to stay against his forehead.

The eldest stepped away from the mirror and began trudging toward his bed with a frustrated sigh. Josh plopped himself onto the floor, sitting right in front of the jellybean cups. Hannah was quick to get up and start the camera before her brother could even think about getting distracted again.

Josh almost immediately put on a smile once he noticed the camera rolling.

“Hellooo, friends and fans! Today, my sisters and I are going to be trying the… uh… Beth, what’s it called again?” Josh tilted his head back and asked.

“The bean-boozled challenge.”

“Yeah! There we go,” Josh looked back to the camera, “We’re doing that. Basically just eating a bunch of jellybeans and hoping we get the bad ones.”

Hannah sat back down on the bed, then raised an eyebrow at her brother.

“Wait, aren’t we supposed to be wanting the good flavors??”

Josh simply shrugged. “Maybe you guys are, but I wanna know how nasty these things can get.”

Both girls rolled their eyes in amusement, then swiftly turned their attention to the jellybeans to decide which flavors to try first. Josh let them do all the picking, even letting them choose the bean he was given. Somehow this strategy worked in his favor, since Hannah and Beth had both managed to get the vomit tasting jellybeans while he was lucky enough to get the peach one.

The three siblings went on to try all of the flavors over the next few minutes. In the end, Beth had been the one to get the least amount of gross flavors, while Josh had gotten most of them. The only flavor that actually made him gag though was rotten egg. He physically lurched forward and covered his mouth to keep himself from spitting it out right then and there.

To drown out the taste, Josh decided to only eat the light blue jellybeans. This was because no matter which flavor he got, berry or toothpaste, they were both good enough to drown out the foul taste he had just endured. Of course, it was just his luck that you decided to enter his room right as he was shoving a handful of blue jellybeans into his mouth.

“Hey Josh, have you seen my- woah…” You paused in the doorway, watching him try to chew the bunches of candy. His cheeks were puffed out like a squirrel’s after it stuffed its face with tons of acorns. But once his gaze met yours he quickly tried to swallow some of the candy so he could talk to you properly.

“Babe! Ohmygod- I need a soda or- or a beer- wait no that’ll be disgusting- Just please get me something to drink that won’t make the taste worse!” Josh practically begged you. You just stared at him with a mixture of confusion and concern written all over your face before glancing at the original candy container on the floor. Upon realizing what kind of jellybeans he ate, you couldn’t help but let out a mildly frustrated sigh as you pinched the bridge of your nose. However, you did hurry off to the kitchen after this to get him that soda.

“I can’t believe you actually ate those things,” You muttered once you came back with his drink. “Which one grossed you out?”

“Rotten egg- eugh…”

As soon as he could, Josh snatched the soda from you and started chugging it frantically. Beth snorted at Josh’s dramatic display, while Hannah glanced at the camera nervously.

“Uh, Y/N? The camera’s still on,” she whispered while gesturing subtly to the device across the room. You peered over at the camera for a second, then looked back to Hannah with a shrug.

“Eh, doesn’t matter. You guys can just edit me out, right?”

Josh pulled the can away from his lips for just a moment to send a small smirk your way.

“Well we could… but I think it’d be better if we left you in,” He confessed. Hannah, Beth, and you were all caught off guard by this idea.

“Wait what?” you raised a brow. “But I thought you wanted to keep our relationship private?“

“That was for the first few months just in case it didn’t work out. It’s been, like, 2 years since then. I think we’re definitely ready to go public, babe.”

Josh sent a quick wink your way, which earned a teasing squeal from his sisters. Your face felt a lot warmer after that, but you simply smiled and shook your head at his antics.

“Alrighty then, guess I’m making my official debut today,” You grinned, then turned to the camera and gave it a short wave, “Hiiii! It’s- um- Y/N! You all have probably seen me in some other videos as Josh’s “friend”, but uh… Surprise! We’ve been dating the whole time!” You awkwardly announced while doing jazz hands. All three Washington siblings burst out laughing at your introduction, which caused you to let out a snort of laughter too.

After the four of you had calmed down, you guys decided to finish the video by having you try all of the jellybeans too. Once filming was over, Hannah hastily ran off with the camera to go begin the editing process, while Beth left for the kitchen to put away the candy. This left you and Josh alone in his room. The two of you ended up lounging around in bed and watching some of your guys’ favorite movies for hours, until you eventually dozed off in each other’s arms.

—————————————————————————

A few weeks had passed since the Washington siblings had posted that video to Josh’s YouTube channel. The twins kept messaging you to excitedly ramble on about how many views it was getting and how it was apparently Josh’s “most viewed video” at the moment.

You didn’t understand why at first. Was the jellybean challenge you guys did really that popular? Or was it just because the Washington kids did it? You weren’t entirely sure. That was until you got a text from Josh himself asking you to come over to his house. According to him, he had something “super important” to show you. In all honesty, you thought he was only trying to get you over there so the two of you could make out or something.

To your surprise, however, that wasn’t the case at all.

As soon as you arrived at the Washington’s house, Josh was scrambling out the front door to meet you. He didn’t waste any time greeting you as he took your hand and pulled you back into the house. The two of you hastily ran up the main staircase and took a sharp turn towards Josh’s room. Once you both were finally inside the large bedroom, your boyfriend shut the door and led you over to his already open computer.

“Okay babe,” he started, still out of breath from running, “Check this out! It’s totally going to blow your mind!”

You watched as Josh clicked on the recent challenge video he posted, then leaned forward when he pointed to the view count on the screen. Your jaw instantly dropped.

“2 million views?!?”

“Crazy, right??”

“What- how- why??”

“Why? Because people love us, honeybuns!”

That nickname caught you so off guard that you had to snap out of your shock just to side eye him for it. Josh flashed you a cheeky smile before shrugging innocently.

“What? Can’t a guy give his lover sappy nicknames?”

“It’s weird coming from you,” You mumbled, turning back to his computer screen.

“Well you’re going to have to get used to it because you’re starring in all my videos from now on and I am absolutely calling you by every sickeningly sweet pet name I know,” Josh confidently stated.

You quirked a brow. “What? Why do I have to be in your videos?”

Now it was Josh’s turn to side eye you. “Because my fans are begging for more videos of us being a couple, duh.”

That… did not sound fun at all. You absolutely did not want to post online about every thing you guys did together for these fans. Based on the way Josh’s expression softened though, you knew you must’ve made a face at the idea.

Josh took a small step closer to you, softly bumping his shoulder against yours.

“Relax, I’m not actually going to force you to record stuff with me all the time… But can we make one more video??? For the fans?? We can do whatever you want I swear!” The man practically begged. It didn’t help that he was giving you his best attempt at sad puppy dog eyes. I mean, c’mon, you couldn’t say no to that!

However, now that you were in the backyard hiding for your life, you really wish you hadn’t agreed to this.

You had suggested a water balloon fight hours ago, but thanks to Josh’s love of theatrics, it was still going. You didn’t even have any balloons left! Plus you couldn’t get more of them because Josh was prowling around nearby. He absolutely knew you were hiding close by, and it would only be a matter of time before he found you.

The phone in your hand buzzed occasionally, reminding you of the texts the twins had sent you about dinner being ready. You really wanted to respond to them but you couldn’t risk letting your guard down. So you stayed perfectly still, hiding under a table as you did everything in your power to stay completely silent.

…

“Hah! Gotcha!”

A sharp gasp left your lips as you were hit square in the face with a water balloon. Which was then followed by two more to the arm and thigh.

Josh howled in laughter as he watched you frantically wipe the water out of your eyes.

“Joshua!” You exclaimed. “In the face?! Really?? You couldn’t have hit me anywhere else???”

A toothy grin was plastered on Josh’s face as he snorted at your complaints.

“No way, babe! The face is a prime target in a water balloon war. You should’ve seen it coming honestly.”

You groaned at his cockiness. “How am I supposed to see it coming when the balloon already hit me in the face, Joshua?!”

Josh couldn’t even hold back his laughter after hearing that. He did manage to crawl under the table despite his giggle fit though. Wrapping one of his arms around your shoulder, he pulled you into his side as he then raised his other arm to hold out his phone directly in front of the two of you.

“Smile for the fans, sweetie~!” He teasingly sang into your ear. You only responded by pouting at the camera.

“I totally regret letting you film this,” You huffed, looking away from the phone screen.

“Aww, you’re going to be a sore loser about this?”

“I am not-! Okay, enough! Goodbye guys!”

You hastily pressed the stop button on Josh’s phone, ending the recording for good. Josh gasped in faux offense, before a mischievous smirk crept onto his lips. Dropping his phone on the ground, he quickly used both of his hands to push you onto your back, laying you down on the soft grass below. He crawled on top of you, straddling your waist as he cupped your cheeks gently. Then without hesitation, Josh leaned down to press your lips together in a passionate kiss. It lasted a good few minutes before you both pulled away for air.

“You know… The table cloth on this thing is pretty long. Don’t think anyone would even notice we’re under here,” Josh mumbled between soft pants. You breathed out a giggle and lightly smacked his shoulder.

“We can’t stay out here! Hannah and Beth said dinner’s already done!”

Josh shrugged off your words, slowly leaning in close again. His eyes gleamed with a mixture of affection and hunger.

“Dinner can wait. Besides, you look way more appetizing right now, sweetheart…~”

Today's (5/13/2025) Episode: First Glimpse

The expectant couple were excited to check in for the first Hospital check up Peppino had scheduled for them.

“I’m Dr. Olvera; its nice to meet you.” the elder physician they’d been assigned to said as he entered and shook their hands. Today I’m going to get some bloodwork, we’ll talk over what you can expect in the coming days, and then we’ll go get a look at your baby. How’s that sound?”

“I can’t wait to see them!” Skye grinned down at xir belly. “… and maybe you can give me some tips to help this little bean grow healthy and strong.”

“My number one piece of advice to all expectant parents is “pay attention!” Your baby and your body will tell you what to do if you take the time to listen. Purchase some prenatal vitamins, eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of fluids, and get plenty of rest. Try not to stress too much, but if something doesn’t feel right don’t hesitate to get it checked out. Now let’s get the boring part of your visit out of the way and get to the good stuff!”

When Betty asked why Skye went “from Pancake to Cream Puff” so quickly, the Doctor explained “To protect sim babies during their massive initial growth spurt, the amniotic sack, and your Sixam version Skye, fills with fluid, giving your little one the space and material for healthy development.”

He applied gel to the ultrasound wand and began to gently rub it across Skye’s stomach. “OK, here we are. Everything appears to be right where I’d expect… and there’s your baby! You can see the head here, and there’s their little legs kicking up a storm!”

Dr. Olvera laughed as Skye felt xir belly, a quizzical look on xir face “You won’t feel their movements for awhile, but soon enough you’ll be wishing they’d knock it off for a minute! So, do you want to know the sex? With the splits they’re doing you might want to look away if you don’t want to know!”

“No, thank you” xe quickly shook xir head I don’t care, and I know better than most that what they are now might not matter in the long run anyway.

Seeing her baby dancing and stretching on the screen had thrilled Betty, and as the teleporter dropped them back home, she tried to share her excitement with the oddly somber Skye. “That was amazing, wasn’t it?" she gushed "I just wish Elyse had been there to see it with us, I think she would have loved it.”

Skye nodded, trying hard to let go of xir resentment at Elyse’s refusal to come. “Maybe those baby gymnastics I can’t feel are where all this nausea is coming from. I’d love to go lay down, but I can’t stand Angel up again.”

“You know, it might seem counterintuitive, but you also haven’t eaten since this morning” Betty reminded xem. “Feeding the little tyke might settle your stomach nicely; you are eating for two now after all! Do you want me to tag along and help you escape if you don’t start feeling better? You just find a way to work waterfalls into the conversation and I’ll know its time to make up some excuses for you.”

“That would be great.” Skye flashed her a grateful smile “I don’t know what I would do without you.”

“Die of Jungle Fever most likely” she winked “Now come on, let’s go meet the mastermind behind this journalism adventure of yours – last one in is a rotten egg!” She ran on ahead, laughing. Skye followed behind at a more sedate pace, thinking about how lucky xe was to have her there with xem.

[dipplinduo]

Times people got to babysit Kieran and Juliana's children:

Their pokemon: Almost all the time, their go to if they don't need to bring them. They gather as many berries as it takes for the kids to be full. They're extremely gentle with the kids when playing. When it's time for the kids bed time, they sleep sitting next to bed, to make sure that nothing will disturb the kids.

Juliana's Mom/Kieran's grandparents: Almost all the time, their go to if they do need their pokemon with them. They tell them stories about their parents were young and how they knew their parents were meant to be before anyone else. They make old family recipes and sometimes try to combine some of them. They would stay up and watch old movies.

Nemona: The kids' second favorite aunt, constantly battles with Carmie for first, orders to-go food constantly and gives the kids a pokemon and challenging to a battle. The kids, being their parents kids, win the battle and accidentally knock Nemona out. They dragged her to couch and call their parents.

Penny: Veevee Aunt. Gives them tips on hacking and what to do when dealing with bullies. Teaches them the art of making microwavable food fancy. Allows her VeeVees to wander around the house and the kids love petting and hugging them.

Arven: Food Uncle 1. Tells them how lucky are that their parents care so much about them. He allows Mabosstiff to play with the kids while he makes them sandwiches.

Carmie: The actual aunt. Give them treats and embarrassing stories about their parents when they were younger.

Amarys: Really cool aunt. Teaches them alot about pokemon leagues, contests, showcases and schools and how without pokemon, the entire world could fall apart.

Nancy: Gift giver aunt. She spoils the kids rotten because their so cute. Is willing to give them anything and everything.

Crispin: Food Uncle 2. Used to be Food Uncle 1 until he gave them an extremely spicy dish. He constantly begs for forgiveness from the kids and gives almost as many gifts as Nancy.

Drayton: Only once. He scared the kids and accidentally gave them food poisoning.

This is so adorable and I love how much thought you put into each of the characters!! May be a little not so bright of me, but could someone remind me who Nancy is?

Generation one complete!

I should really find Pamela a hobby once she retires. Even terrorising the neighbours is going to be someone else’s job now.

When in Nordhaven, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Welcome to Stikkelsbær Kosmetik, a cosmetic surgery clinic and boutique skincare company.

If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme, you could do a lot worse than cloning serums to sell at a 200% markup. All the better if you hire your clones at minimum wage to perform services!

About the Farming Village:

That was before Balan and Lance appeared. People in their usual village were starving and it was difficult for them to find food. Later, they found the seeds and accidentally planted them on the ground, but they knew that they had to grow something out of it.Later, a fruit grew out of the seed, which everyone ate. But knowing that they would get hungry again, they decided to use these seeds to plant in the ogrods.

From fruits, vegetables and berries, they decided to name their Farming Village. Where, in addition, cattle have already begun to breed.

About Jose:

He was one of the villagers who was starving. When he was planting fruits and vegetables, he decided to become a farmer. Everything would have been fine if it hadn't been for quarrel Balan and Lance, who caused the hurricane. There was nothing he could do about the loss, as the work was very huge.

Later, after hearing cries for help, he ran to help and met an orphan girl named Yuri from the Insect Dungeon. He helps her find her way home, which she thanks and accidentally calls uncle. But he didn't mind, because he like children and he had a son with his mother, who was his wife.

After returning, he meets a stranger in a black suit, whom he did not know was Lance. He gave him Barktholomew and after his passing, the spirit controlled Jose And now he despises hurricanes and outsiders.

Fortunately, when Leo and Emma arrived in our village, they destroyed the control and Jose thanks them for helping him. He also told them about the wanderer and Barktholomew, which made the two children wonder who the wanderer was.

Peter Lorre in musical/noir "Casbah" (1948)

"It gave him a new dimension to expand his own acting career."

Peter Lorre as Detective Slimane with Tony Martin as Pépé le Moko (also, wouldn't this be great as a paper doll set?)

Peter looking devilishly divine with that little whippy stick of his that I am 100% normal about...

Such a dear face:

LOTS more under the cut!

Believing Lorre a “dyed-in-the-wool good actor,” Tony Martin, who independently produced Casbah with Nat C. Goldstone, gave the actor room to rework his dialogue: “The night before, when he would get the script, he’d say, ‘I’d like to make this or that change.’ And he’d do it.” Director John Berry likewise, in Martin’s words, “let Lorre have the strength” to carry out his own ideas. The actor welcomed the freedom as well as the opportunity to assume a more contemporary role. “I like the role I’m playing now,” [Lorre] told Martin, “because all I’m doing is being a pursuer.” Martin added that the role was also a challenge: “He loved it, being the great actor that he was. It gave him a new dimension to expand his own acting career and to get out of that Sydney Greenstreet thing he was in. . . . It caught him with a sense of humor and a tenderness. - From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin

"Singing his way through a string of minor musical-comedies had not prepared Martin for a dramatic debut. He knew he needed help. Lorre cast a spell over the actor and then snapped his fingers: “In those days, the black and white pictures, the close-ups, he could hypnotize you, and he could lull you into a deep inner peace. "We'd do a take and I'd be rotten. He’d say, ‘You know, you’re the worst fucking actor I’ve ever seen.’ I’d say, ‘Really?’ He’d say, ‘Yes, nobody worse.’ And we’d start to laugh and the director would say, ‘Alright, let’s go,’ and I’d do a good scene. He had a way of putting me down. He had a psychological way. And we had dinner every night." - From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin

With Thomas Gomez as Louvain:

With Yvonne De Carlo as Inez:

Joined by Märta Torén as Gaby:

With Märta Torén again (and guh, those eyes of his):

Alas, poor Pépé! (But oh, the beautiful brow of our Peter.)

From Ruth Waterbury’s review in the Los Angeles Examiner:

“Lorre as the Inspector who knows he is going to get his man Pepe is utterly wonderful. He’s lazy. He’s catlike. And smart out of this world. Lorre is so consistently good in every picture that they will probably forget his work in ‘Casbah’ when next year’s Academy nominations for ‘best supporting performance’ come around. But I hope they don’t. This smooth job belongs right up among the best.” -From "The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin
