Random Legacy Challenge: Acton Rendum (Gen 1)

Acton Rendum is the founder of the Rendum Legacy Challenge.

He is required to have stepchildren.

He is allowed one biological child with his wife.

His career path will be WRITER and hers will be PAINTER.

They are a photogenic family meaning they will have portraits and photographs of themselves all over the house (at least 5 each).

They will only eat homemade meals and will sit down to eat at least once a day as a family.

They will have 3 pets (a small dog, a cat, and a wormrat).  Their dog will have a SERVICE career while the cat will be UNEMPLOYED)

Acton quickly fell in love with his next door neighbor, Jessica Sears.  Jessica is a single mother with a young daughter.

Week One

Acton and Jessica were married at his apartment and vowed to someday own a home where they could raise Sally and maybe a baby of their own.

Sally celebrated her 5th birthday with her new daddy.

Sally Sears, Acton's stepdaughter.

She is very pretty and has brown hair and blue eyes (from her father presumably).

End of Week One

After 7 years of living in the apartment, Acton can finally buy his dream house for his new bride and new daughter.

Week Two

Sally buys their 1st pet, a wormrat named Polly.

Side Note:  I hate this worthless animal and want it to die

Her mother then buys a small dog named Cymorial.

She will have a portrait of each life stage.

End of Week Two

Leilani is a very VERY neat child.

She brushes her face and teeth every morning when she wakes up.

She also makes everyone's bed in the morning.

This is what every day looks like when the kids are in school.

Acton writes his novels and Jessica paints pictures.

Bump.  There it is.  Again.

I think we have a problem

Zinnia has blue eyes and blonde hair (both from her father, Andrzej Harris)

Leilani helps her nephew age into toddler

I've never seen the 'Huggle'.

It is worth the wait.

Andrzej Harris comes over to watch the game.

Harrison is so excited.

Andrzej & Sally finally marry.

They are both 25 and have two children already (Harrison, 5 & Zinnia, 3)

Andrzej brings $17,000 to the family which I gave back to him by buying $17,000 worth of stuff and putting it in his inventory.

The Cute Corner

Both toddlers were hugging pets at the same time, I did not do that.
