Hello, and have some pictures!
I'm quite new to actually posting on LiveJournal so I haven't exactly got the fancy themes and such that more experienced livejournalists have. But, I'm eager to learn and I'm excited about posting my story on here!
The legacy's founder is Winford Rhinehart, the antagonist from The Sims Castaway Stories. The prologue kind of assumes you know about the story, but just in case - essentially he's a bad guy and at the end you can either kill him or he can start his life again as a toddler, under the guidance of a nice old man. This takes place if the latter option is chosen (or it wouldn't be much of a legacy!)
This is the Rhinehart clone family. The prologue explains Win's life up until when he actually gets off of Felicity Island, so a sim was made (twice) for each stage of Win's life.
What really bugs me about Castaway Stories is how cool and innovative some features were whilst others were really half-assed and it comes off as lazy. Like a clone for everyone in the game who's character files are corrupting the neighbourhood, and not being able to use some of the most basic cheats, etc. Trying to take good pictures with no custom content and no boolprop is a challenge!
The relationship flags between sims who are 'married' in the story also bug me. This is the older shaman and his wife, yet no marriage. It's the same with all other families - the Chief and his wife aren't married and even the Chief's daughter isn't set as such. I tried to set it straight in SimPE a few days ago but given my limited knowledge of such voodoo, I couldn't get the family symbol in the relationship panel. At least the family tree worked!
I also don't particularly care for generic EAxis coding really either. He had something like a 75/30 relationship with Urari and a little crush, yet all Win did was give a little flirt and he went ballistic and started slapping anything that moved. I'm so thankful for people who make things like ACR and other useful, more sensible mods.
That's all the previews I have at the moment, I'm still editing pictures in Paint.NET and thinking 'no, that's terrible, I can't write that' about everything so I don't really know when I'll be able to show my first chapter. I am, however, FREE for the summer! I had my last exam today! So I've got 2 whole months to do whatever I want (most definitely sims), so it won't be long before I've gotten Win back to civilisation. :)
Thank you for dropping by on my first post, by the way! I hope you're looking forward to the story. If you've also played Sims Castaway Stories, let me know so we can gripe about all the silly things it likes to throw at us!
