Generation 9: Lorenzo Frost... ?

Generation 10: ???

Meet Lorenzo Frost, the only member of our family's 9th generation....

Lorenzo and his mom, the now-famous actress Eloise Frost, are quite the team.

Lorenzo doesn't mind attending ceremonies and events with his Mom...

But what he loves best of all is going to the beach.

Of course... anywhere's great, so long as Mom's there.

Lorenzo grows into a stylish young lad...

The years seem to fly by, and soon he's a teen....

Whenever Lorenzo gets a free moment, he heads for the beach....

And the moment he graduates, he moves to the coast full-time.

One day he meets a beautiful woman named Leizel.

Leizel doesn't immediately reveal her secret...

You know -- the secret that when she goes in waist-deep water, she turns into a mermaid.

It's fine. They're fine.

Soon Lorenzo learns the truth, and the two begin to date.

When they learn they're expecting a child, they're both a little freaked out. "Will it have fins?" asks Lorenzo. "Does it matter?" retorts Leizel.

Soon, the two can hardly wait to become parents and raise their baby by the sea.

Did I mention Leizel can talk to dolphins?

"I know how to steer a boat," Lorenzo mutters as he looks on.

Eloise comes for a visit one day...

She and Lorenzo reminisce about old times.

And then it happens...

It's a boy! 

They name him Princeton.

Princeton grows into an adorable toddler....

And though there's a 50% chance of him having Mer genes, Princeton won't start to show them until he's a teen, at the earliest.

His parents promise to love him either way.

And they'll all live happily ever after.

* * *

In our last episode, redheaded Ryan married the alluring Cassandra, and they had two kids, Colin and Eloise.

Now...

Cassandra continues to run her popular Mommy Vlog...

As soon as Eloise becomes a teen, she decides she wants to follow in her parents' footsteps and pursue the spotlight.

She joins the drama club at school...

And she starts her own vlog, where she reviews tech gadgets and toys.

She is delighted when she wins the role of Hans in the school production of Frozen Jr.

Right after graduation, she signs with an extras agency.

Meanwhile, her parents travel to the Bahamas, and it looks like they might just decide to stay there a while...

Colin moves in with his boyfriend, so Eloise is left to her own devices.

She adopts a cat...

Actually, she adopts two cats....

Burt and Loki are mischievous critters.

But Eloise adores them anyway.

Eloise books a few days here and there as a background extra on some local productions...

And she continues with her vlog, which now has over 5,000 subscribers...

After a couple years, Eloise manages to get a small role in an indie movie.

And then a role on locally-produced television show!

Alas, it's only a one-episode gig, as her character is poisoned...

But death scenes are fun, and the performance gets her noticed.

When she's not acting, Eloise tries to lead as normal a life as possible.

She does occasionally get recognized, though. But she doesn't mind taking selfies with her fans.

A particularly juicy role in a period drama really puts her on the map.

            

No, Eloise, you're NOT supposed to sleep here... this is a set!

After over a decade of acting, Eloise decides she wants to start a family. She picks the perfect donor from Beaubank dot com...

Excited at the prospect of becoming a mom, Eloise throws a charity gala to benefit a local children's hospital.

The majority of the attendees prefer to hang out by the pool, but Eloise does manage to shake some money out of them.

As her due date draws near, she sings to the baby...

And then... her little bundle of joy arrives! Welcome, Lorenzo!

It just now occurs to me that newborn Sim babies are startlingly large.

Well... Lorenzo takes us into Generation 9, which means we have just one more to go! Hopefully, in the next installment, we'll get to see Lorenzo grow up and start a family of his own. 

And then what? Maybe the game will combust?

Until then...
