The Hampton Legacy: Gen 0.0
Hello! Welcome to the introduction to my very first legacy blog. You must be very excited!
Like I said, this is just an introduction post. Here is where I answer any possible questions about the challenge, my game, my cc, etc.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Ella. But that's what the About Me section is for ;3 All you need to know is that I love Sims just as much as you do.
Why am I reading this?
Because... you can! And it's Sims! That and I'm a total noob at taking pictures and blogging for sims and really blogging in general, so you can even give me some hints if you want. c:
A Legacy, huh?
Yep. Specifically, this is a Legacy for the I'm Surrounded by Idiots challenge (or ISBI for short). I've wanted to do an ISBI for a really long time, especially after reading so many awesome ones by other people. I'll keep it up for as long as I can- here's hoping I can make it to five generations!
This is our lovely founder, Shirley Hampton:
The edges are so rough in your pictures! Why don't you change the graphics settings?!
Because I can't. The option for smoother edges is greyed out. :C
What EPs and SPs are you using?
I have every single expansion and stuff pack EXCEPT for Seasons. I will probably never get Seasons; I've heard too many horror stories about weather slowing down the game and sims dying just from being outside. ISBI is hard enough without those hazards! I like the expansions I already have anyway. We'll just say the Hamptons live on a tropical island. (Shut up, I totally wasn't cheating when I set that turnoff.)
What about CC?
Mmm, CC. To keep myself from overloading my game the way I did last time I had Sims 2, I've become very exclusive with my CC downloads. But that makes things easier for you guys if you ever see something you like on one of my sims!
Almost all of my hair is by Peggy or Nouk, with maybe one or two hairs by Raonsims mixed in there. Some of these hairs do require donations, but there IS a place you can go to get donation items for free! I completely disagree with the idea of selling Sims creations for profit, but using that site is technically stealing from the creator, so I won't link it here. Even if you haven't heard of it by now, you should have no trouble finding it by yourself.
Pretty much all of my makeup is by Bruno. Every once in a while you might see some piercings, which were made by Shady.
I use a default set of facial templates, made by Lunar Eclipse. I love this set because unlike most other sets I've come across, all the faces look different and even look good to boot!
I use Pooklet's Kids in Technicolor set as my skins. It's a beautiful 55-part set that I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who doesn't mind making room for them and wants a realistic neighborhood with sims in the same variety of skintones you find in the real world.
And my eye set. This set is the result of the work of several different awesome people. I might get a different one at some point. I haven't decided. If I do, I'll change this post.
Edit: MOST of my clothes are still maxis, but I have downloaded some clothes. Everything I have can be found here. If it's not on the list itself, the person who created it is.
That's about it for now. If I think of anything else I'll add it. Wish me luck!
