Erikson Legacy - Gen. 1 Week 1
Notes: One censored tush.
I'm sure we all know the rules and simpurity's gorgeous founder (who goes by Dawn Star Erikson in my game) by now, so let's jump right into introducing the lot. It has all the necessities of life, as you can see; there's even a toilet and communal shower behind that wall there. Sure, they aren't enclosed, but if doing business out in front of the world is good enough for my cats, it's good enough for a sim! No fridge or stove, though, on account of this week's first mini-challenge:
Healthy Food is for Hippies: All sims in your household may eat only chinese food and/or pizza for one week. Put the fridge into a sim's inventory to make sure no one secretly binges on salad.
All that junk food costs money, so poor Dawn Star better get to work if she wants to eat today! That, and she has about two days to get some walls up before winter. :D
She spent a few hours digging, waiting for a welcome wagon that never came. Ambrose Day (pnkpnthr334 ) walked by, though. Dawn Star took a break to go greet him.
This went quite badly. Ambrose simply wasn't ready to embrace the warm melty gospel of the Grilled Cheese. :(
That, or he couldn't handle Dawn Star's abundant charm. It's hard to say.
It was obvious that Dawn Star wasn't going to find true love with the first bit of alright that wandered past her house. Having a bit of romance sim in her, and therefore never one to shy from a bit of cruising, she made her way to the gardens where she proceeded to vomit all over the first soul she saw. Not exactly a good omen.
It's a shame, as Spartacus Sowhut (leenyland ) is really quite adorable. Why so mean, girl? :(
Spartacus: Is she looking? I think she's looking. :D *hip wiggle*
Dawn Star: Sweet llamas, who let him outside? *gaghack* D8
I sent her over to have a chat anyway, just in case. They even have grilled cheese in common! Isn't that all a functioning adult relationship needs? No go, though.
She did get a raise out of all that, though! Not that it does her much good, you'll see later.
Dawn Star: This...doesn't mean I have to like him, right?
Not much else of note happens, and I was getting ready to send Dawn Star home, when Indio Feabhra (daisywenham ) made it known that Dawn Star? Is one fine lady *wolf whistle*. Too true, Indio. Too true.
And Dawn Star is plenty interested in buying what Indio is selling.
Indio: Does she smell like...grilled cheese?
He'll get used to it! Unfortunately, Dawn Star barely had a chance to greet him before Indio took off - perhaps sensing that a legacy was afoot - so there was no time for them to get to know each other. That's alright, though. A greeting is all she needs. >:3
It's back to the shack for a quick refueling, pizza tonight; it's not a sandwich, but it is most cheesy. Dawn Star will need that energy. It's going to be long night.
Then it's time to hit up the phone. Indio would like to know how Dawn Star got this number. She gleefully informs him that Facebook is a wonderful stalking tool.
Their conversation drags on through the night, into the early morning. Indio makes a valiant effort to buy Dawn Star off. She's not having this.
After all, he is her sunshine, her only sunshine, who makes her happy when skies are grey~~~
Okay. Alright, I'll own that. That was bad.
Let this be a warning to all those who would stay up all night phone-stalking potential spouses.
Oh, no. A sad face! The saddest face! :(
In response to this tragedy, Dawn Star does what anyone would do: invite over her dearest friend so she can cry on his shoulder!
Indio: stop calling here
He likes her enough to visit, though, and even humors her a kiss-kiss darling.
The flirting, however, is all him. They only have two bolts together, but the way they go at it, you would swear they had five.
Moving, Dawn Star takes this delightful interaction as her a sign and makes her move. Overall, the date goes well.
The important questions are asked...
The traditional sim mating dance is performed under the watchful gaze of the matchmaker...
And though a few snags are hit...
They're nothing that can't be overcome with some good old fashion lover girl charm.
Aaaand then Indio reminds me which turn ons he rolled when I was setting all my PT sims up as townies. Oops. We can change that later, if need be. Or maybe Dawn Star could grow a beard! Or maybe a mustache. I, for one, would love a fierce handlebar mustache.
Dawn Star's present lack of facial hair poses no obstacle to further wooing, at any rate. Perhaps Indio can learn to find beauty in the clean shaven yet.
They go on a few more dates throughout the night - I'd like to get this over with sooner rather than later - and before too long they're as comfortable with each other as an old married couple.
See? They're even singing ridiculous songs for each other! :D
You can't tell by the look on his face, but Indio is actually really enjoying this.
By the end of the night, less than twenty-four hours since they first met, Indio has moved in. He's not exactly loaded, but they can at least afford a box now!
Eager to make with the babies, Dawn Star drops the proposal that night,
Followed by a bedroom wedding, quickly, before either of them can process enough of what's happened to change their minds.
Indio is a Fortune/Family sim with the LTW of earning 100,000 simoleons in my game. I don't recall his personality.
All in all, Indio is most pleased by this turn of events. He spends most of the next day just jiggin' away.
Though whether he's happy about being a married man, or the fact that it's Dawn Star who's pregnant and not him, I can't be sure. This picture also serves to illustrate that my interior design skills aren't. :D
This week's challenge is still going, just so you know. Dawn Star being a Grilled Cheese sim, I sort of hoped she would go into aspirational failure after a week of dairy deprivation. No such luck, though. She came pretty close, but the few aspiration points she got from dates were enough to save her.
I didn't take any pop pictures, but rest easy, she is quite pregnant. She spent most of her time painting. We will be seeing a lot of that easel in the future, I think.
Between trying to keep Dawn Star alive and getting Indio much-needed promotions, nobody has much time for going out. Indio tries to help out by bringing home Brownie Jambon (sea_serpent )! :DDD
I luvs her, not even going to lie. Her maniacal grin will bring many a lulz to this legacy one day, I swear it.
And then there was birth!
Score! I know a lot of people dislike multiples, but I love them. I love huge families, and find it very convenient to have a bunch of kids growing up at the same time. :3
It's two girls: Imoen and Shar-teel. I believe Shar-teel is the one in Dawn Star's arms, while Imoen is on the floor. Not that it matters. All babies pretty much look the same.
Who needs a nursery? The front hall works just as well.
Love those dangle toys. I feel so much better when infants are left in them for hours, as opposed to being abandoned on the cold bathroom floor!
I like when the parents like them too. c:
That's pretty much all there is to say about infancy! So, birthdays!
Here we have Imoen, with her teeny little eyes and way-high eyebrows.
And this is Shar-teel, who is a bit angrier looking, but still adorable.
This update ends with an autonomous tuck-in, because they are too sweet. ;~; Feel free to ignore the stink cloud.

Well, you know. Everybody else was doing it. I've played the second generation through to university, so I have enough pictures for one or two more updates that just need to be edited. After that, we'll see. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed. :)
