What have the other Queens been getting up to?
Chris' work outfits uhhh.... continue to be items of clothing.
Adrina and her beau Thomas had a few more romantic moments!
Snow White no!!!!!
...Janelle.... maybe take a good hard look at yourself.
Attina could've threatened literally anyone except the one handiness-lover of the family. This is clearly disguised affection.
I went to hunt down who Sage's crush is, and I think that's one of Arista's dance partners???
What in the world did Arista and Snow White do??
Possibly the most in-character joke for Adrina.
Gurl, Christopher is the most normal person here, according to the messages. What do you even have to say??
?? Apple, did you adopt a kid and not say anything?!?!?
...Yep. She called days afterwards!! Better than not saying anything, I suppose.
Awwww that's cute. Just ignore all my babies getting old, and being the same age as their weird parents.
... R.I.P. Snow Jr. This isn't devastating at all.

Part 8
Ariel hoped exploring another mysterious place would help lift her spirits.
It really was just as beautiful as Apple had said! And thankfully, Apple agreed to tag along.
They could enjoy their own hobbies in silence while mourning together.
Plus, Ariel had a few special skills to summon some extra fish for her sister.
Ariel would definitely have to explore more hidden world like this one!
Or she could explore more obvious parts of the world; Snow White had apparently decided to go to the city again, and invited Ariel!
Very unclear why Snow White invited her kids to the place where she'd become a vampire.
Not that they knew. Ariel just enjoyed singing! It was one of the few ways she was like her mama.
Of course, Sage headed straight over to the busker to dance.
Ariel had her sights set on a table full of collectables!
Before and after the girl who wants everything sees a treasure trove. Thanks for the funds, Apple!
10/10 siblings.
As the benevolent god gathered the available Queen Kids for some friendly baseball, they realised that perhaps they were not very creative in the sport-wear department... and Ariel's hair mysteriously changed again.
Anyway, cute siblings playing basketball moment!
And to wrap up the lovely, adventurous day, Ariel decided to craft a tribute to the Queen's dearly departed pet.
....R.I.P. Snow Jr.

Part 7
First thing the next morning, Ariel contacted Apple and a housing agency.
She was moving up in the world!
Snow White stopped by the house to make Ariel some food to tide her over until she could figure out how to make some herself.
Ariel did her best to take notes on Snow White's cooking lesson.
However, they got derailed by Snow White having to explain that no, sims don't fill their hunger by biting other sims. Ariel's father and mother were a very special case.
That in turn led to Snow White explaining her Tragic Backstory. Ariel was just happy to have mama's homemade food again.
Or so she let her mama think. It was still the weekend, and she had nothing better to do...
Delana could sense the incoming headache of a sim. But how could Snow White dare come here??
Wait, this wasn't her step-daughter! She just shared plasma. What in the world was going on?
Whoever this random sim was, she sure didn't have Snow White's meekness! She made herself a nuisance on purpose!
Ariel hadn't quite gotten the gist of what vampirism was, but she knew it involved shooting some kind of occult magic at another sim. And she could certainly do that!
Uhhhhh, not right now, mama! Kinda busy!
She sang her sirens song to her evil step-grandmother, hoping to curse her to a deep sleep.
Alas, Delana's womanly wiles were unmatched, and Ariel's notes fell flat.
Whoops. No way in hell Delana was going to let that slide.
Time for plan B!
For once, Delana seemed genuinely afraid, even pleading.
Maybe it was the cold mischief of Ariel's smile.
Or, y'know, the cold of Ariel's freeze ray.
Sweet, sweet revenge.
I named the freeze ray Flounder, just for fun.
Well, there was still half of a Sunday to figure out what to do with! And Apple had given Ariel a hot tip about a secret location.
If she could handle some gardening, that is. But Ariel would do anything for adventure!
Unfortunately, just at that moment, Ariel received some sad news.
R.I.P. Snow jr. You were a very pretty and chill kitty. You put up with more kids than probably any other pet.

Once Ariel got to work, it was a different story! After all, this place had all kinds of amenities!
If she didn't like anything, she could simply upgrade it. And she didn't have to pay for the appliances!
Unlike her sisters, Ariel had never gotten into gardening. But there was an upside here:
Food serum! Two plants and some science later, and all Ariel needed to satisfy her hunger completely was a slurp of goop!
Not to mention, awesome new friends like no else else had!
Ack, she killed her friend!!!
Nope, this was fine! Ariel's friends were fixable. Don't even worry about it.
Yeah, who needed Apple's money! She had everything she needed!
Plus, Britechester could be loud and colorful sometimes!
Ariel's plans fell apart real quick when she realised weekends were a thing.
But surely if she just hopped around world for a while, she could find other places to fill her needs! Maybe this cave had a toilet!
It did not, but it did have something that made her mermaid heart sing!
Then a random passerby picked a fight about how sims ought to treat the beach, and Ariel lost her temper.
Running low on needs, she really laid into the guy.
Ok, maybe she should rethink things...
Bonus
...eh?
Ok. Sure.

Part 5
Apple couldn't believe her younger sister really lived that this. Was she really living in a tent with nothing but a fire hazard and a cooler??
Ariel tried to go over all the good points about the place, but Apple remained unconvinced.
Ariel switched tactics to deflection.
Though she had to admit, even in Summer, the nights got unbearably cold.
But it was fine! All she had to do was change into her warm raincoat, see? Totally fine! Don't ask where she kept her clothes.
Completely unrelated, Apple started going on and on about how mama had just baked this delicious pie, fresh and warm out of the oven, she couldn't miss it! And Ariel could come too, if she liked.
Ariel would very much like. And Apple would like to work off the cramps from sitting on a cooler, not to mention the burns from the fire pit.
Ariel was quick to tell her mama that no matter what Apple told her, Ariel was fine!! Snow White just smiled and nodded.
There was more important news....
Apple and Hinata had a baby!! Ariel was so excited, she was an aunt now!!
Maybe Apple should've informed the family that she had a child. Or y'know, said "Come meet my kid" instead of "come get pie".
Aw, not again!!
Anyway, meet Brooks Maeda! Snow White's first grandbaby!!
Um... Ariel, I don't think the infant understands the concept of books just yet.
Somebody help him!!!
Apple stepped in to show Ariel some proper baby care tips.
She definitely 100% trusted Ariel with her baby.
Ack, they're so cute!!!
As Ariel held her tiny nephew in her arms, she had... feelings? Like, maybe she wanted one of these some day.
That's when Apple made her pitch; she was willing to fund Ariel getting a new house. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place for her family to visit her that wasn't just camping equipment? Could she at least sleep on it?
It was a very short sleep. Dozing off in a raincoat in a tent and waking up starving and quiet made Ariel's mind up pretty quick.
Bonus
So nice to see Snow White living her Happily Ever After!!

Part 4
Despite having just gone through the horrors, Ariel still had needs to tend to. And luckily Britechester was fully equipped to handle random hungry brainiacs.
It was quiet on the campus. Peaceful.
And there were a surprising number of things to dig up!
Overall, it was much, much too quiet for Ariel! So she took a little break at an arcade, with plenty of noise and flashing neon lights.
And of course, a little dance party.
Going back to the tent after that was a little difficult. Being outdoors was really fun, but not all the time.
Hey, at least Britechester had some great cafeteria options! Ariel would never have to cook! As long as she could afford it, of course.
Aha! There was the reason she'd joined the scientist career in the first place; endless collectables!
The climate was hotter than she would've liked, but she was getting paid to dig up treasure!
Or she could paid to hang out by the water!
Apple would've been so proud.
Ariel's favorite part was when she found a mysterious glowing rock out in the desert.
She did not hesitate to stick her arm right into the mysterious glowy hole.
Proof of alien life!! Right in her own pocket! Now this was what Ariel wanted to explore!
She had to go tell her coworkers about it immediately!!
Ariel was so good at making friends.
Actually, her co-worker Susie Prescott seemed to really like her!
By the time Ariel got home, her pockets were so full that she made herself a tiny personal museum.
!!! Well of course Apple can come over!! Just uh, give Ariel a second to come out of the bush.
It was so nice to have the big sister interested in being in the picture!
Ariel got to infodump about her personal museum, too!
OH NO NOT AGAIN!!
Apple couldn't quite believe this was actually where Ariel lived. What exactly did she plan on doing with all those dirty plates?
So, Ariel showed Apple the main attraction of her chosen location. She'd forgotten to tell Apple she was a mermaid though, which led to a bit of a shock.
Apple's previous encounters with occults had been... less than ideal. She needed a moment to herself to cool off and think things over.
That was fine by Ariel; she'd had her eye on that dig site anyway.
Bonus
Well whaddaya know!

Part 3
Thyme was the first to congratulate Ariel on her new career as a budding scientist! And Ariel's hair grew back?!?
The first thing Ariel did as a scientist was befriend the lab's robot.
Oh, and the humans, sure.
But mostly the robot.
Playing with labs had always been more of Attina's thing, but Ariel was willing to do it if it meant getting to do crazier stuff later!
Speaking of Attina, something seemed really wrong with her!!
Oh, hey mom! Sure, Ariel's not too busy to chat! Maybe you can explain why the benevolent god can't get her hair to turn back.
Don't you love it when your job tells you to take a shower for performance increase? And you're a mermaid? And your hair returns to its actual length only in the shower?
To her own surprise, Ariel started getting along pretty well with her co-workers! She might actually be making friends!
Nononono, Justin don't you DARE!
Justin DelGato died doing what he maybe probably loved. Surrounded by Science and a singular, uninterested co-worker.
Ariel was the first poor unfortunate soul to find the body.
Her crying caught her co-worker's attention, and she finally realised what was going on.
Aw, thanks! I can't leave because there's a dying sim!
Ariel was coping well.
I told you it would end up as all-women!!
The death at the lab meant Ariel became the first sim of the legacy to come face to face with death. Oh joy.
Ariel was going to attempt to plead for Justin's soul, but the Grim Reaper did his job much too efficiently. He was there and gone in a literal flash.
The second Justin's soul departed, Ariel teleported home unceremoniously. Happy first day at work! Good luck dealing with all that! ... she seems fine, actually.

Part 2
Well of course Ariel of all people had to compete!!
But first, she cheered on her fellow competitors. Good sportsmanship, or just her love of music?
Ariel's turn on the mic.... went.
As she waited for the winner to be announced, Ariel realised something... Mama had never taught her how to cook. This might pose a problem later, but for now an apparent run-away-bride gave Ariel her drink and told her how to get free bar food.
Oh hey, she ran into Sage's roommate in the bathroom! Hi, Aoi!
Aw, man! Ariel's never gonna with with Akira Kibo competing! He's literally a karaoke legend, I should've just gone home.
!!! Wait, he join the contest too late!! They announced the winners while he was halfway through singing, and somehow Ariel won!! ...ah, no prize. Oops.
Oh, uh, happy birthday to you.
On that note, it was time to head back home to Britechester! Now, the nerds weren't the only reason Ariel had gone there...
It was so close to the water, she could be a mermaid whenever she wanted!
And she would really, really need water nearby.
Apparently it's not a generation beginning without a near death-by-fire experience!
She did eventually work out how to roast veggie dogs, but that obviously wouldn't work as a long-term solution. It took way too long, and the heat from the flames was bad for her scales.
Luckily, Ariel had figured out a few cool tricks.
Ariel could change the weather at will! If she ever needed a boost of hydration, she could simply summon rain!
Wait, Sage?!?! What do you mean you have a crush?!
This really isn't the best time... Ariel's getting ready for work!

After all these years of being ignored, overshadowed, it was time for Arista's story! She was going to be a name to remember, and it was all going to start on this empty plot.
Nah, this is Ariel's generation! Arista was just lurking by the mailbox for some reason. Arista had joined the critic career, and moved in with some SanMyshuno residents entirely off-screen. The only one of the Queen kids to not get a dedicated bonus episode.
Unlike Sage, Ariel took a relatively modest portion of the family funds. It would be simple living for her for a while!
....and then Apple and the pregnant Hinata moved in with the now empty-nesters and jebus chrast!! Apple hit the jackpot!!! Maybe I should've moved them in before I got Ariel set up...
Ah well. It was time for Geek Con! As a geek, Ariel was legally obligated to go.
She gave the various challenges her best shot, but her heart wasn't in it.
What she was really here for were the spaceships!!
Sorry townie, you're gonna be waiting a loooong time for that ship to come back.
Let's join Ariel on a space adventure, shall we?
What an adrenaline rush!
The Geek Con overall really made Ariel feel alive!
Ariel wasn't a city girl, nor would she ever be, but the rocketships and vibrant stall colors certainly appealed to her!
Yikes... RIP Geek Con
Well hey, at least Ariel didn't have to abide by the laws of curfew anymore!
Bonus
Have some Ariel keeping in touch with her family.
Ft. Janelle being weird, and Attina being Attina.

After making sure everyone was fed and taken care of, Cinderella collapsed onto the couch to relax only to receive a deathly glare from Drizella when she and Donna joined her.
Drizella: What are you even doing out here? Shouldn’t you be holed up in your room or something?
Donna: Come now, Drizella. She isn't some servant. She can sit in the family room every once in a while.
Drizella: Ugh. Just don’t let your stupid cooking shows bother me.

Part 75
With all the twins out of the house, the old shed got turned back into a workroom. Snow White and Ariel spent many a happy hour working back to back on their respective money-making hobbies.
Arista had gotten super into writing! She and Chris were both published authors!
Speaking of Chris, with such an empty house, he found himself talking to whoever happened to be standing nearby the house.
Sometimes Janelle would take him out to let him infodump about fashion for a while.
Christopher's passion for fashion had never once dimmed. But hopefully he'd get to talk to Thyme about it a bit more, now that she was following that interest.
I'm just gonna stall for a while. have some cat!
The benevolent god was not at all surprised that Ariel and Arista were little rule breakers.
How they reacted to their club shenanigans though... wow.
Arista sent what the benevolent god thought was a horrible message, but Christopher seemed to understand her just fine. They had a special bond.
Ok, Ok, no more stalling... happy birthday, triplets!!
No one was happy about this.
The triplets had such different tastes, it was hard to pick a place to celebrate. Eventually, the benevolent god settled on Ward Park in DelSol Valley!
Adrina was first to the cake, taking as much time with her wish as her mama always did.
Attina did not bother showing up to the celebration.
Happy young adult birthday, Adrina!!
For Arista's turn, everyone gave her the fist-pump salute!
Especially Snow.
She slipped away from the party for just a moment to give Christopher a kiss on the cheek.
Happy young adult birthday, Arista! And RIP Apple.
And last of all, Ariel, the final birthday of Snow White's generation. Hey look, Attina thought this one was worth celebrating!
Ariel tried to think long and hard about her wish, but came up blank. Mostly she just wanted to see where life would take her.
The party stood stock still as Ariel spun into adulthood. This was it.
Oh! I didn't see that coming! Well done, nerd!
Then... that was it. With the party complete, Snow White's generation was officially over. No more 9-person dance parties in the kitchen, no trying to get 7 homeworks done, endless cooking and cleaning...
Snow White would stay in touch with all of her children, of course. She was looking forward to some grandkids!
But now, it was time for Snow White's
Happily Ever After.
Bonus
Ariel and Thyme don't really like each other, but for some reason the game has decided that Thyme is the only sibling Ariel will interact with.
Bonus Bonus
Huh, I might actually miss your ceaseless messages, Janelle.

Ack, it's happening again! What in the world is going on with Adrina??
Ah, nothing a little chicken interaction can't fix.
That's the stuff!
Oh no, a random visitor!!! ... but he's cottagecore tho...
Adrina was the only one home at the time, having just finished volunteering. Since she'd literally just showed up, she couldn't exactly pretend to not be home. Time to do her best to socialize!
Step one... invite them in, right? Compliments? Snacks? A drink?
Wait no that couldn't be right, mama always said never let any strangers in. Umm.... what to do??
Snow White was more than fine with the new guy, Thomas. She totally shipped it.
To the benevolent god's complete shock, Thomas really liked Adrina!
Adrina did not know how to cope with this.
Seriously, he really enjoyed being with her! For the first time, Adrina had a conversation that lasted for hours, and not once did anything lower their friendship meter! It was like he totally negated her social awkwardness!
Thomas took a quick break to exercise and uhh...
Interesting.
Congratulations to Attina! The first sim to have 2 crushes and 3 love interests!
Cloudgazing hadn't worked on Adrina's last date, but this time she had backup! Chicken was nearby enough to give advice, but still remain out of sight.
Adrina and Thomas talked long past the sunset, getting closer and closer. It felt like they truly understood each other.
Seriously, none of Adrina's social interactions had ever gone so well! And to have it happen not even overnight!
Eventually, Adrina admitted to having been taught to speak by a chicken. And against all odds, Thomas loved that fun fact! Turned out he was also an animal enthusiast!
No doubt about it, Thomas was completely head over heels for Adrina. He even swooned a few times, though the benevolent god failed to capture the moments.
!! He exchanged numbers!! During Adrina's last date, that was the moment it had all gone wrong. There was no way she could let this guy slip through her fingers!
Darn the consequences of skipping curfew! Adrina absolutely had to take Thomas on a date!
The vibes were a bit difficult to work with at home...
Heehee, it was bear night!
Absolutely nothing went wrong! The pair had a lovely time, and got along as if they'd known each other forever. The sparks between them were undeniable.
No battle between her social awkwardness and a museum's romantic vibes; just two like-minded people building each other's confidence.
When Adrina finally had to call it a night, Snow White wasn't even mad about breaking curfew. She was just so happy for her 5th-born!
Would she still be happy if she knew what Adrina was messaging him?
Bonus
...well huh. So that's where Florian ended up.

Part 74
But the benevolent god wasn't ready to say goodbye yet! Look, Snow White's old bird friends still remembered her!
They even gave her a birthday present!
And while they were there, the Queen children decided to explore the place their mother had once lived.
Adrina headed straight for the old snail statue she'd heard so much about.
The non-controllable sims headed over the Creature Keeper's cabin; they'd been too young to visit back when they lived in the area, but mama sure had stories!
Apple in particular missed her childhood days in the forest.
Thyme somehow got to the snail before Adrina, and managed to do some networking.
And Ariel.... Ariel.
It was a good chance to stretch her sea-legs for once!
...I don't think she knows how to swim.
Adrina checked out some strange mushroom circles, and found herself feeling invigorated. She really belonged here!
Unlike Arista, who was more interested in taking pictures than actually enjoying nature.
Ah well, they can't all be cottagecore lovers.
...this was supposed to be a cute "Mother Daughter Mushroom Picking" moment. Alas, they both managed to get sick, and that's still the one thing Snow White can't handle.
Snow White stuck around long after everyone else headed home. She was on a mission!
After all this time, she could finally give the creature keeper their requested mushrooms. Even though the creature keeper she knew had long ago retired.
The new creature keeper seemed to know what to do though, and handed Snow White a bowl of mushroom mash. Snow White tried to ignore the random child's warnings.
After consuming the mushrooms, Snow White felt funny...
She had to talk to some birds right now immediately.
They got reaaaally comfortable.
Pretty great, actually! After being a vampire, walking around outside couldn't be taken for granted.
Well.... no more putting it off. There was just one more thing to do to finish the requirements of Snow White's generation.
Bake an apple pie!
And man, was that apple pie worth waiting for! It felt quite symbolic of just how much had happened in Snow's life, and where she was now as opposed to where she started. She could eat in complete safety, and all her wishes had come true!
Bonus
.... well, guess how Snow White's dad died...
