Goodbye Zelda Mae

 Zelda Mae died due to her old age.

 

Her sister Iliana mourned her death, even though she had betrayed her in life.

 

Dustin immediately called his children Harold, Horace and Tanya, who are also Zelda's children..

 Tanya was the most affected by Zelda's death.

 

Here she is, crying in front of her remains.

Dustin also mourned her departure.

Horace and Harold attended the viewing. 

  

Iliana invited them for dinner, but neither them nor Tanya said a word to her during the whole evening.

Zelda's ashes waited in the living room to be taken to the cemetery.

Tanya gave her last goodbye to her mother.

Dustin's Confession - Part 1

It was Kevin's birthday, among the guests to the party were Jack Bunch and his son Arlo, they were the first to arriva and accompanied Kevin, the youngest of the Langeraks, to blow out his cake candles. Dustin stayed in the living room, far from the group. He seemed distracted, as if something was worrying him.

 Iliana was busy attending to her guests Cornelia Goth, Judy and Lisa Bunch, Nick Alto, Pauline Wan and Nancy Landgraab. Zelda Mae of course was there too, but she seemed quiet, she had been like that for weeks. What was going on?

Vita Alto and Gunther Goth were also there, but they didn't care about Zelda, or Iliana, or Dustin. All they cared about was talking about their respective businesses.

 

Kevin has turned into a teen. About time!

The celebration continued because it was also Iliana's birthday.

The party was over, the kids had gone to bed. Dustin and Iliana were left alone, enjoying one last piece of cake. He knew it was time to talk to her. The truth would come out anyway, sooner than later, it was best for her to know now, so he started his confession... 

It's Kaylynn's Birthday (Again)

It's Kaylynn's birthday. Among the guests were Mortimer Goth, at that time still a teen.

 Yumi Sekemoto can't stop laughing and joking with Kay, her mother Iliana and her aunt Zelda join the celebration.

 Kaylynn went from teen to young adult.

Fun fact: it was during this party when Mortimer Goth and Bella Bachelor (left) fell in love. ❤

Sunset Valley Memories

I'll continue posting my Island Paradise-Langeraks gameplay, los Langerak, but from now I'll be publishing as well pictures of Sunset Valley, which is where Tony's grandfather Parker Langerak was born. This game is mostly about Parker's life and his parents' Dustin and Iliana, his sister Kaylynn, his aunt  Zelda Mae, and some of his neighbors like the Bunch, Goth, Landgraab and Alto families, etc.

We'll see how some of them grew up, went to school, got married, had children and grandchildren; how they advanced in their careers, got old and, in some cases, died. Although it won't be a story as such, but rather a few pieces of what the life at Sunset Valley was before Tony and even his father, Milton, were born.

We'll start with Dustin, Iliana and Zelda Mae.

(*Note that all these sims got my classical makeover to adapt them to my gamestyle).

Dustin Langerak, a man devoted to his family, friendly but with no manners; unemployed at the begininning, at last got a job at the Sunset Valley Police Department. Married to Iliana and with three children, he suddenly found himself envolved in a love triangle with his sister-in-law, Zelda Mae, with whom he had three children too. His lifetime wish was Surrounded by Family, and boy, did he get it.

Iliana Langerak, Dustin's wife, neat, perfectionist and workaholic. She started a career as Department Head but she got to be the CEO of a mega corporation, as it was her Lifetime wish. Mother of three: Parker, Kaylynn, and the youngest, Kevin; Iliana never separated from Dustin, not even after discovering that he had cheated on her with her own sister.

 

Zelda Mae: childish, flirty and a party animal, during her youth and part of her adulthood she lived at the Langerak's home, until her secret romance with Dustin was discovered by Iliana. Then she had to move out on her own and live on what he earned from his music career. She never achieve her lifetime wish: Become a Rockstar; she never married either, she continued her relationship with Dustin and had three children with him: the triplets Harold, Horace and Tanya Langerak. After Zelda became a mother, Dustin started to support her and her children and continued to do it for the rest of her life.
