The Knick-Knack Legacy: 1.1
[52 PICTURES, NEW FOUNDER, AND LOTS OF GRILLED CHEESE LOVE]
Alright, so you're probably wondering: Another legacy? Yes, I have the Floras and the Thayers. But the problem is, I only play the Thayers once a week over my sisters and it's really more just setting up and taking caps than playing. And while I love the Floras to death, sometimes I just need a break, you know? So I've decided to start a fun new legacy, but don't worry, I'll keep updating the Floras. (Actually, I have a Where Are They Now update almost ready for Mandrake). I've decided to do things a bit differently with this legacy:
1) No one can marry into the family. Thus, all children must be born out of wed-lock and raised by only the founder/heir.
2) As such, all heirs must be either woman (Matriarchy) or gay men, so they can get impregnated by other men. It'll most likely be a matriarchy, though. Which is cool, because I love my female sims.
3) The founder has elf ears, and it will be my goal to see how long I can keep them in the family.
4) All the sims will be named after random things lying around me. Thus, the "Knick-Knacks".
So, um... enjoy!
Meet the founder, Tack Knick-Knack. Yes her name rhymes! Which is awesome. Tack is a rather grumpy Grilled Cheese sim. Yes, that's right. I was looking at the list of aspirations, decided they were all boring, and thought: "Grilled Cheese!" So here she is, thanks to some fiddling on my part.
Tack has gray eyes, black hair and S1 skin. She also has elf ears, which I'm going to try and see how long I can keep in the main family line. She's based slightly off my elf template, but with slanty eyes and modifications to the face, nose, etc. No, she is not Face One, k? :D
Tack: Is that grilled cheese I smell?
shoefleesims: Nope.
Tack: Damnit.
shoefleesims: Bored already?
Tack: Hello, you haven't made me a house yet! What the hell else am I supposed to do.
Thirty real minutes and ZERO sim minutes later...
shoefleesims: How's that?
Tack: Whoa.
Because my game cannot handle 5x5 lots, Tack is put on a 3x2 lot, and so her house is a bit nicer than most founders. But its still a one-room shack, basically.
Tack: This is NOT book about "true love"! True love is GRILLED CHEESE!
I should not be surprised that this is the first thing she cooks. And neither should you.
Cooking grilled cheese is SERIOUS BUSINESS!
(Also, elf ears, yay!)
Tack: Om nom nom nom nom. Blisssssss.
Tack: Good thing I don't have a kid. If I did, I'd have to share my Grilled Cheese!
shoefleesims: Did I mention that as a legacy founder, you HAVE to have kids?
Tack: WHAT?!?
Tack: Oh, you're just kidding me, right?
shoefleesims: Nope.
Tack: This shit is bananas grilled-cheese-nas!
LOL!
That night, Tack heads out to FM in search of baby-gene donors. (She is bi, so I can't say sperm donor!)
She's not liking the prospective mates so far.
Tack: Eh, he doesn't smell as good as Grilled Cheese.
In a tribute to Founders of the past (I love you Bluebell, BB!) Tack shows are her ~awesome~ dancing skills.
Tack: Uh oh.
Very talented, yes?
Tack: No one saw that, right?
shoefleesims: Ummm... yeah. Sure!
Tack: Is that Grilled Cheese stuck in my teeth? I knew I saved some for when I'd be hungry again!
Tack: And yep, I still look grilled cheese-a-licious.
Tack thinks the bartender is smokin', apparently.
I agree. Actually, he reminds me a LOT of Alon Thayer. Either way, he didn't like her, though I didn't get a cap.
Tack heads to the karaoke machine to sing all the songs she can in homage to the amazingly amazing creation that is Grilled Cheese.
Tack: And IIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE GRILLED CHEEEEEESE!
Tack: You are the GRILLED CHEESE of my life! That's why I'll always love you sooooo!
Tack: Livin' la asado de queso loca!
While searching for some donors, I see this guy walking down the street. He has the blond hair she wants... and his name is Trent Grundstrom!!! So of course I had to make her talk to him.
Tack: Almost as delicious as a steaming grilled-cheese sandwich.
Tack: So I have to know. If I had Grilled Cheese, would you try to take it from me?
Trent: Oh, yes I would, I LOVE Grilled Cheese!
Tack: That bastard.
Yeah, Tack wasn't having any of that. She went home, bitched on the couch, and then went right to sleep.
The next day, I see this! Blond hair, different skintone and eyes than Tack, AND pretty! Oh, and also her name is Sunny Byal, which is pretty cool.
And we have chemistry!
Tack: She is so yummy, I can almost taste Grilled Cheese in my mouth.
Ok then...
Sunny: I'm afraid of the long arm of the law! O.O
Tack: Don't worry, there is no law like that here. Only the law of the Awesome Grilled Cheese.
Tack: I have Grilled Cheese hidden in my skirt.
Sunny: Suddenly I feel so tingly towards you! *swoons*
Sunny: You know what I like? Making out.
Tack: If we make out, you're not going to try and use it as a distraction to steal my Grilled Cheese, are you?
Tack: Because if you're not, I am totes up for making out!
Wow, inappropriate invasion of personal space much?
Tack: DID YOU STEAL MY GRILLED CHEESE WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER?
Sunny: I did not!
Tack: I think you did.
Sunny: I did not!
Tack: I think maybe you di-
Sunny: Ugh, this isn't going to end. Let's just make out, k?
And so they did.
Sunny: You have nice tits.
Tack: Thanks! They're orange like Grilled Cheese.
~*~Simultaneous crushes~*~
Tack: K, see you later, bye!
shoefleesims: Wait, what? Call her back! You need to woohoo and get knocked up.
Tack: Nah, maybe later. I need my Grilled Cheese fix now.
shoefleesims: *suffering sigh*
Tack: Nom nom nom nom.
Tack: Dear diary. I had a very interesting last couple days.
Tack: I saw a great cooking program on TV about making Grilled Cheese!
Tack: And I had the most AMAZING Grilled Cheese sandwich just a few minutes ago.
shoefleesims: Aren't you forgetting something?
Tack: Had my Grilled Cheese... wrote in my diary... nope! All set!
Tack: Time for bed!
shoefleesims: WAIT! You need to call Sunny and get her over here to impregnate you! Hey! Stop! EXCUSE ME!
Tack: ZzzZZzzZzZzzzz... Grilled Cheeeeeeese.... ZzzZzzzzzZZZzzZzZz....
shoefleesims: *sigh*
And that's it for this first update of the Grilled Cheese Knick-Knack Legacy. On the next update: Will Tack ever stop talking about Grilled Cheese and get herself pregnant?
Probably not.
