Undecided about you (not again): Crane Photodump
I still struggle with my feelings about never finishing anything. I've been having a lot of fun with the SVR (which has consumed my Sims playing for the last 2 years) but I recently started wondering about my failed legacy again after finding some of my old notes. There are a lot of notes, I played the legacy since 2007. 4 years. The same family. You can see where this is going?
The Cranes were my number 1 for a very long time and I felt awful abandoning them. Sure, I played the Thornns for 4 generations and I never truly gave up on them either, they were flawless and fun, but the Cranes were... dynastic, in a way? I popped in last night and was so impressed. Dorothy has all her talent badges and a level 10 business and they have an insane amount of money. Their house is insane. I realize I made mistakes: instead of playing a legacy for myself I modeled it on other people's legacies and that's where I failed. I messed it up because I wasn't doing it for me, I was trying to be like everyone else.
I'm going to finish my legacy but I'm not doing it story style, or even Thornn style. I'm blasting through it while playing the SVR, they'll give me breaks from each other. I love the premade families but I love my main family as well. It's been 2 years since I played them and everything was so strange. I think I'm MOSTLY doing it because I'm legit halfway done: my generation 5 heiress is going to college. I don't even know what's supposed to happen at this point and I don't care.
Here's Erimentha. She's really pretty IMO and her name is flawless. For some reason she rolled Popularity even though she's shy, so I'll be rerolling her in college.
I might still have her marry the guy I selected for her when she was born, but I don't know if they'll still be compatible, so we'll see. This is a fresh-ish start? When I wanted to continue them I was going to have Erimentha move to Belladonna Cove and play there but I like my little island.
Donato made his thirty lovers, thank goodness. he's not keeping up with all of them. I have NO idea what I'm going to do with all the other legacy Sims running around my hood and there are so many romance Sims in Kodak, it's scary. SMH.
All in all the family is still doing okay. Playing them, I remember all the plots I wanted to do: Eris' inferiority complex, Erimentha's spunk~, and most of all the magic.
it was a big thing that Pelles chose to become human, and Dorothy promised something to the gypsies in exchange for his humanity, but I never got to do it. Oh well tbh, there are great Sim stories dealing with the supernatural now.
Cressida still holds the family together, and I still love her. She was supposed to spy on the family or something for KDI?
I was also going to do a side story about Dorothy's scientific accomplishments and her rivalry with Olive Specter, who HATES her. Now I just want to murder her for being so awful.
Unfortunately she's in a relationship with Donato.
You can see that after 3 years (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) the adults of Gen 4 finally finally finally finally get to be elders. You can see the triumph on Dorothy's face in the bg of Pelles' picture, my queen.
And Dorothy does too. The legacy plugs on.
Or will it? I'm so indecisive so we'll see how long THIS lasts.
