The Howell Legacy: Gen 1.0
Due to work, driving lessons and social life (I know right? What social life?), I've been incredibly inactive and I made a lot of promises to continue my Lackaday Legacy which I didn't follow through. However, I have since started a new legacy here which I'm really enjoying and I hope you will too!
As a heads up, I do not play my legacies with a lot of rules, but I'm planning on setting myself goals to complete each generation for a bigger challenge. Hopefully this will keep me interested for longer.
Generation One's goal is to complete the LTWs of both the Founder and their spouse before they die.
This is the Legacy Founder, Paisley Howell. Here's a lowdown of her personality:
Family/Knowledge
Neat (8)
Shy (1)
Lazy (4)
Playful (5)
Nice (7)
+Black Hair, Lycanthropy
-Unemployment
I really enjoyed building Paisley's house, probably because it's underground. Should make a good hidey-hole for her future lycan spouse too!
As you can see, Paisley's LTW is to become a celebrity chef. So first things first, I had her scour the newspaper for an opening in the Culinary career.
Which I am very happy to say was one of the first careers to pop up! Don't mind if I do...
I had Paisley "take out a loan" (in the form of the kaching cheat) in order to furnish her home the way I wanted. Of course, now she's $6,000 in debt. Oh well. I guess her lycan spouse will have to be rich too.
I also gave her a wee indoor garden to cultivate because... I don't actually know why I gave her one. Other than for the cuteness value.
I didn't snapshot her bedroom at the moment because I couldn't get a nice enough angle. Only downside to a tiny underground home!
Paisley rolled the Want to gain a cleaning skill point, so I let her. I'm nice like that.
Her first day on the job went rather smoothly. Just 8 promotions to go.
And she brought a potential husband home from work! Good Paisley.
This is Alfred. He's quite cute, after his hair change. (Too much like Preston Lackaday before.) His clothes are a bit er, fancy though.
Paisley: Woah man, you have antlers sticking out of your head.
Alfred: LOL stupid peasant girl.
I was beginning to wonder why the pair weren't really advancing from the "friend zone"...
So Paisley left Alfred to his own devices while she tended to her super-cool indoor garden. (Have I mentioned how much I love her indoor garden?!)
Good call.
I'm starting to worry that becoming a chef might not have been the best career choice for Paisley...
Oh really? Because I was just saying how you could benefit from a different career path--
Sorry, Paisley. There are no careers in The Sims for fixing stuffed up toilets. Yet.
Living the dream, baby. 7 promotions to go.
On her day off I decided to send Paisley to the Spark! Sports Park to go husband hunting.
And while she lazed in the pool, I found a handsome man for her to stalk!
His name is Robin. I think Paisley approves.
They became fast friends.
Meanwhile, in Thorndeep...
Locals were bursting into song and dance in the streets...
...and the Unsavoury Charlatan, after years of experimentation, has finally perfected his walk on water. No one can escape his prying hands now! NO ONE!
Eh hem.
Paisley and Robin went on a romantic dinner-then-dance-with some bubble blower in between-date, and they really hit it off!
The next day this Chance Card popped up and I nearly always pick the devastating, life-changing cosmic EXPLOSION EXTRAORDINAIRE button, thus dooming my Sim's career.
So I went with the opposite of what my gut was telling me and...
Booyeah! That leaves 6 promotions to go.
What better way to celebrate than with...
More burgers! (The sparkly kind!)
Paisley had a hidden agenda though; she invited Robin over for another date!
I decided that now was a good time to check the chemistry levels.
Double bolters!
So everything was going swimmingly; good conversation was flowing, the sparkly burgers were sparkling, and then--
BAM! Robin turned into a werewolf. Well, at least I won't have to worry about turning him myself later.
No wonder they had such good chemistry.
Paisley didn't even notice.
Like, SERIOUSLY didn't notice. At all.
Although her eyes do look like she's screaming inside...
Not even been paying attention to the seasons. I was gobsmacked when it started snowing.
The rest of the date was, of course, spent playing outside at like 1:00am. I really wish the "fetch" interaction was in this game like it is in The Sims 3 Supernatural.
Robin spent the night, and in the morning Paisley asked him to move in. He heartily accepted.
And that's all for now!
I won't make any promises for future updates this time, seeing as how I'm usually very dead on here, but I can mention that I already have a near-full update sitting in my Fraps folder waiting to be edited.
Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
