GIZOR! The look on Zephyr's face as she's talking to him is so sweet.

So now that the boys are in the cemetery, the family will have to go there to see the ghosts, right? (dumb question is dumb!)

Beastly's face post transition to toddler is hilarious. It's like he's rolling his eyes at the whole thing. Such a brat.

Love the cheese computer and Russian dancing Loki gnome. He's awesome on so many levels.

Such a fun family.

I thought it was too, she seemed so pleased to see him.

Not-so-dumb question was not-so-dumb. Yes, I think that the family will be able to see the ghosts when they go to the cemetery. They may not stay there. The Sims seem to be largely telling this story themselves, so I'm not too sure what will happen as I play. Which sounds a little mad but it seems to be working.

I'm not sure why Beastly is so Beastly, I'm hoping he won't be quite so bad as he grows but he does pull odd faces & I keep 'catching' him at revolting moments.

I'm so pleased the gnome actually moved.

Thanks for reading and for your comments :D

"the sims seem to be largely telling this story themselves"

I love that. The "write as you go" freedom of legacies is their top selling point. The writer is just a documentarian, snapping pics and presenting them in an appealing order.

It's doubly good when the documentarian has an eye for what's amusing/interesting/fun. You have that eye.

Thank you, that was kind of you to say so :D

I like the story ones too but don't think I'd have the patience to set up the scenes - especially when it sometimes seems that the Sims have minds of their own and won't co-operate.

I also don't have your skill at story telling. So, I'm really pleased that you are enjoying this.

Speaking from both sides (commentary legacy and story) I can tell you that stories only get harder and harder as you write them. I started just doing loose play as I went stories and then got into a more "proper" story which I gave up precisely because it stopped being fun. Posing pictures was what killed it for me. (and I'd gladly continue writing "Peculiar" in text only form but I doubt it would have much appeal to anyone but me, so it's best left to play out in my skull).
