Welcome back you guys! I did my best to recreate the Whittaker family in the Sims 4. They aren't 100% but they are recognizable. I'm excited to start back on my Legacy blog. I know it's been a very long time and the Sims 4 has been out a while . . . and I really have no excuses. I wasn't even playing the Sims. But I'm back!
Above is Adrianna Whittaker, the founder. Stats will be at the end of the post, as well as on the bio pages.

This is Jules. If you read the Sims 3 legacy blog, you can see how he and Adrianna met, fell in love, married and started a family. I'm sad that I can't include many parts of the original story (the dogs and cat!) due to lack of content in the Sims 4, but hopefully that will change as expansion packs are released.
This is Ricky, Adrianna and Ricky's first child. He is now a young adult and has since moved out of the legacy house with his wife and child.
This is Faon. She met the family and fell in love with Ricky. They now have a child together. I'm definitely pleased to be able to create an alien from the get go.
This is the middle child, Ashley. She is currently a teen and living at home. She was chosen from the previous season to carry on the legacy, even though she is evil.
This is the youngest child, John. He is currently a teen and living at home as well.
This is little Jeanie. She is (obviously) the daughter of Ricky and Faon. I'll be showing the small home that Ricky and his family live in at the end of the post. It's a starter home that was already in the game.
I moved them into Oakenstead. The starting lot value was $240,206, which is close to where the house was when we left off in Sims 3. The dimensions are 50 x 50. Since I'm already into this legacy, I'm not following the starting rules of the challenge.
In case you haven't seen this lot yet, here are some pictures to enjoy. Here's the gazebo.
The back patio.
I added the hot tub and the pool due to whims while I was waiting on Jeanie to be born (thankfully they had a girl!). This probably will change in the future.
Here's the kitchen. I really like this kitchen. At this point, the only thing I've added is the dishwasher. I usually build fairly small rooms when I'm creating my houses, so it's nice to be in a big kitchen. I might have to follow this example in the future.
Here's the dining room. Nothing has been changed yet.
Here's the living room. Again, nothing has been changed.
Here's the small half-bath behind the stairway. Nothing has been changed.
Here's the hallway upstairs. No changes.
Here's the master bedroom. I really like the layout, but I'll be changing the decor at some point.
Here's the master bathroom. Hey Jules!
Here's Adrianna's future room. Changes will definitely have to be made for her.
Here's what is to be John's room. It's entirely too feminine (for John) in my opinion. I will be changing it soon.
Here's the spare room where we will continue the legacy with Ashley.
Here's the upstairs bathroom that the kids share. I'll be expanding this at some point. I want to make toilets and showers separate so I can move kids in and out faster. Gotta be efficient after all!
Here's where Ricky and Faon live with little Jeanie. I only now realized that in the Sims 3 blog, Jeanie had already aged into a child . . . anyway, moving on.
I forgot to note the name of this lot but I'm sure we are all very familiar with it. No changes have been made to any part of the house. I will be jumping into this lot on occasion to update things. I'm curious if Sims can make a living without you controlling them . . . and, of course, I forgot to make note of how much money they have. When I popped in, neither of them had jobs. The next time I'm playing them, if they don't have jobs, I will get them some.

Here's the kitchen with it's ugly, cheap appliances.
The living room, if that's what you want to call it.
The only bathroom. I almost didn't post this picture. I hate when you can see the tops of the walls. I try not to take shots from above like this . . .
The spare room that will one day be Jeanie's to do with as she likes.
And finally, the master bedroom. It will probably be a slow, uphill battle to get this house renovated. And probably impossible to get them in a position to move into a bigger lot, but I do love the ability to easily jump from one household to the next . . . so long as no one dies in my absence.
I had to cheat to try to get as close to where the original story left off as I could. I chose traits that were somewhat close, picked reward traits that were close, and added their skill levels back to where they were. See below for the stats. These stats are where they were at the end of my play session, which will be the next 2 or 3 posts.

One last thing before I go . . . unless something happens to the save file, I'm not going to delete the Sims 3 Whittaker family. I may even play it as a parallel universe to this one if I ever get it running decently in the future.
I hope you enjoyed and . . .
