Fanatic Legacy 1.0
A new Legacy, with a Generation-spanning naming theme of "Shit Kim likes". Gen 1 will be a (lax) ISBI because I decided after I started, and after I want to say either 1.1 or 1.2 I will be strict. Because ISBI makes for more interesting reads? Perhaps I'll go pseudo awesimsauce and incorporate a different challenge for each Generation ... in fact I rather like that idea. So I'll probably update once I have a set... set of rules. Anyway. No, my Sims 2 Legacies aren't going anywhere, this will probably be updated less often because the game is on The Boy's computer, which he is fond of using himself.
Onward! ( I redid the captions more to my usual style)
This is Elphaba Fanatic, my little green founder. For Elphie, I've decided she needs to bag a rich married man, have his kid, but not get married.
She's a Hot Headed, Mean Spirited, Bookworm Loner, with Hydrophobia. All she wants in life is to become a world reknowned surgeon. So the first thing we do (given that there's no money for furniture because I decided to start with official rules, so her lot is huge. Huge and empty), is join the Medical Career.
First things first: Elphie is a full Adult (oops!) so she needs to get to work on her LTW and find a man. The park is usually the busiest place in my town, so I plop her down for logic building while I scout.
Jared Frio invites himself to play. Elphie er... looks very much like a Bad Witch.
He's all like "What's the big deal? I have sideburns."
Elphie: You know why I hate swimming? Because I'd always find a used bandaid at the bottom of the pool. Also my sister has no arms so can't swim. (Nessarose not pictured)
Jared leaves.
This guy is really bad at trying to pretend she isn't green. Elphie is really bad at trying to pretend he isn't a fattie with a porn 'stache.
Gardening has been one of my favorite aspects of The Sims since Unleashed, so Elphie collects some seeds in order to start a small patch of fruits and veggies. So that she doesn't go hungry while on the go, I have her snag a few apples, too.
Time to go home! This is all Elphie can afford after investing in one of Sunset Valley's largest plots of land. I'm sure the Altos and the Landgrabs are NOT pleased to have her as a neighbor. I am pretty sure she will die without having an indoor bed.
Not an interesting screenshot. But hey, I have to watch her do this ALL DAY so you can too!
After a few days go by, I send her across the street to learn how to fish. The sky really is such a vast improvement--just look at the moon!
So, Elphie is not the prettiest founder that ever there was. But this face (and a strange accidental Uma Thurman-esqueness) won me over. Granted I don't know how she'll blend so maybe this will be an accidental Uglacy, but we'll see.
Before work one day, realizing that as an Adult Elphie doesn't have all the time in the world to breed, I send her knocking on the Landgrab's front door. Geoff here certainly fits the bill (hur hur) for donor (rich, married). Plus, I'm afraid of what Vita Alto would do to Elphie if she caught her in bed with her husband. There's no time for anything but a quick hello before I catch up on my reading Elphie goes to work.
This is why we don't have nice things. That and that I am bad at Sims 3 promotions. |:[
Yeah, this is maybe two days after. Yay, bed pans? Stupid giving nature hidden under a green packed sourpuss face.
Seriously. All day.
Sometimes I don't feel like reading while Elphie sleeps, so I ghost watch. This fish freaks me the FUCK out. Is it a reaper fish? Can I catch it and never look at it again? Why does it have Spore parts?
It's like she's trying not to contemplate her miserable, lonely existance. DAYS have gone by and still no man. Next time, making sure I start with a YA so I have a little more breathing room.
Here, I was just interested to see an autonmous pregnancy. It's things like this that make Sims 3 fun-- I hate the load times and get bored with the number of families in Sims 2, so find it difficult to maintain a neighborhood. So yes, I play with Story Mode On. Granted Awesomemod made that safe because nobody will disappear, but I still want them to have lives without me.
If you don't know, this is at the gym. As one fatty to another: I've had those days.
So once I discovered the gym, Elphie basically moved in there. Because I got tired of switching between owning a shower and owning a fridge. SERIOUSLY she is SO poor even selling produce and rocks all the time. Why do I fail?
Hmm, a hydrophoic taking a bath. I wish I had a non-water way of improving her hygiene, but this will have to do. I guess we're going by SPOILERSPOILER musical rules SPOILER OVER then.
I guess "like a hobo" is a pretty accurate description of how Elphie is living. And how probably Gen 2 will live at the rate I'm going
This time I take Elphie to the graveyard, and isn't it a pretty little picture at dawn? She's exploring the catacombs so I did a little sight-seeing.
OH BOY. Another unknown special seed I did not pick two of them up off the ground or anything.
What's a legacy without zombie bear attacks? Nothing, I tell you. Too bad she has to go to work like this.
Which results in this.
Gym dinner! Elphie isn't too sold on it though, is she?
Oh, she got an opportunity to please her boss by reading "Better Out than In". Toilet humor, what fun!
Is 200 bucks a boatload in this game? The freaking coffee maker costs more than that!
This is like two seconds after clogging the toilet, too. Public restrooms FTW!
Oh my GOD, finally. I hadn't seen an eligible (by which I mean not eligible at all) man in DAYS and Elphie is toeing the line of being able to produce an heir, here.
Elphie: ...and that's when he ripped it off, just like a band-aid.
I figure, amusing is good! Amusing means he might accept a flirt. But no. I guess he doesn't want to Go Green. (Hahahaha see it's funny because he lives in a giant mansion and ELPHIE HAS GREEN SKIN GUYZ!!!)
On a side note I love that it tells you you've found out about a relationship after being rejected, not just after asking.
So, with days ticking by and Mr. Pudding himself crossed off the list... let's leave it here with Elphie ignoring some very good advice about two activities she's NOT supposed to do in the same place.
Next time: Elphie continues the hunt for a father to Generation Two as a time goes by, and the financial situation refuses to improve.
