started me a legacy sim... Alyssa Hamilton. Day six, got a guy to move in w/ her. still trying to get him into bed... XP
Shoulda picked a romance sim. Try talk/appreciate/entertain, and if you have NL ask him on a date. That oughta help boost their relationship.
just starting out... We began the Legacy challenge with Thadeus Parker-Scott, a family Sim with little more than a bookshelf & a loveseat. Before he even put up walls, Thadeus bought himself a desk, a chair, a cheap computer and a phone. He got himself a job in the Army (they hire everybody!) and then called a cab to head downtown and troll for babes. He spent a fun afternoon meeting new people, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tubs and bowling (which he sucks at with his zero body skill). Fortunately the 50s dinner makes a mean chef salad, because this guy doesnt have any food at home. He flirted up a cute cowgirl and a bowler babe with pigtails forever, but no one really caught his eye. Exhausted from his travels, he was grilling up some hotdogs for some new friends at the Museum when SHE walked in Caryl Carlson, and they knew it was love at first sight. Tad was exhausted, but he got her number, promised to call the next day & grabbed a cab home for some much needed rest. Tuesday, Tad proved himself an able recruit & got promoted, so he could afford a few more luxuries, he upgraded his bed and had himself a good nap. True to his word, he called Caryl that night for their first date. He knew his way around Sim Lanes, so they headed there for a fun evening of dining, dancing and a little first-date photo op. They were both crushing on each other and couldnt get enough of the playing and flirting isnt that the fun of dating? He also learned that she was turned on by facial hair & cologne, so he stopped at the corner store on his way home for a little of the smelly stuff, and vowed never to shave again. Wednesday was a day off, so Tad used the time to build a few friendships whilst gathered around the Yummy Channel. That shows just how cute this guy is because my VeronaVille playable sims usually wouldnt sit still for a minute on a dilapidated loveseat, watching the Yummy channel on a small screen, out on a patch of grass. Oddly enough, Caryl called him that very afternoon for an outing he jumped at the opportunity to see his lady love again. I think she was testing the waters, because she brought along a few friends for security I think at least 8 piled out of that cab. Fortunately, there were enough pinball machines and pool tables at the corner strip mall to keep everyone happy while Tad stole a few minutes alone with Caryl for a bit of flirting and smooching. Tad offered to cook up a plate of his famous hotdogs for the crowd and they had a good outing, not great, but Tad just had to pee & he didnt really care what anyone but Caryl wanted. Tad hung around for a bit of slow dancing afterwards and made best friends with Caryl after only 2 days go figure. Due to the time change between downtown and Tads house, he was able to get a good nap, a quick shower, admire his recently grown stash and goatee and still call Caryl out for their second date before it got too late to call. They headed for Landoste, where they wined and dined in style. Tad couldnt help himself & popped the question half way through dinner. Caryl enthusiastically accepted his proposal (and the ring!) & after she finished her dinner, she was quite responsive to some veryclose slow dancing and hot making out. He invited her home, yada yada yada, (he had to sell back his computer to get a double bed), and married quietly in the front yard of their mostly empty 5X5 lot. They consummated their nuptials and Caryls now preggers with the first of the Parker-Scott progeny. Fortunately, Caryl arrived with a dowry, so they are able to put up some walls and lay a few floor tiles before the arrival of first born. Now, Tad wants to marry off 6 children and Caryl ($$) wants to be a All Star but how will she ever get the chance to go to work if Tad wont let her have a moments peace in the bedroom?? He better start earning some decent money to buy his lady love all the trinkets that shes dreaming of
thank you - I've never shared my sim-stories before. How does a sim-addict start a story thread? Is it like a photo album? I haven't taken many pix. Any way, Tad and Caryl have settled into married life, poor Caryl burns everything the first time she tries to cook it, so there's no danger of Tad getting fat (no fires, just black food, thank you). Tad worked his way up through the ranks until he earned the excerise run reward item and then decided that he didn't like getting up so early and got himself a respectible office job. The blessed day (actually middle of the night) finally arrived and the stork brought 2 new bundles of joy into the Parker-Scott household. Little Alex and Archie were born and Caryl immediately wanted to hire a nanny; such maternal instincts. Now that she's unencumbered, she's found herself a career in the athletic field, and has been working her way quickly up the ranks. She better run fast, because if Tad catches her, she's going to be preggers again. Tad is working his way up the corporate ladder and making friends in all the right places. He's thrown himself into fatherhood, teaching the tykes to walk and use the potty, etc. and drops exhausted into bed each night. The boys have been enjoying the heck out of their Wobbly Wabbit toys (must have 2) and don't care much for their baths or the nanny. But they'll both grow into happy children tomorrow at the stroke of 6, so they won't have to see much of her any more. And nobody needs to learn to walk or talk tonight & Tad's not quite so tired - watch out Caryl - those cribs won't be empty for long...
Click "start new thread" in the Sims 2 General Discussion forum. I know there's one called Fan Fiction but no one seems to go there. Give your story a catchy name, and you're off! Always glad to welcome a new writer.
Tad & Caryl did indeed conceive their third child that night. Despite horrific morning sickness, Caryl managed to make it into work and get promoted again before her maternity leave kicked in. Tads a bit short in the logic department so he wont be promoted yet, but hes off all weekend so he can work on some skill building & leave his poor sweetie alone. Alex loves his piano lessons, so hes almost hit his 8th skill point in creativity already, while Archie would rather sit at the chess board for hours - maybe he could teach his dad a thing or two. Tad had a pool built in the backyard when the boys grew up from toddlers, but nobody is really drawn to it, this whole crew is a little short on the active scores. Everybody wants the twins to get into Private school, but Caryl hasnt had a chance to practice her Pork Chop cooking yet, and right now shes too tired to throw together anything but pancakes in the morning and Tad does up a batch of spaghetti at night. Maybe if the twins bring their grades up a bit, well invite the headmaster over this weekend. Tad should stop at the store tonight to make sure that fridge is well stocked & maybe pick up a new espresso machine.
You could also make a story album...that way, people at thesims2.com can view it too, rather than just here at WorldSims...
Legacy Story Sorry I wrote my legacy story here but I think I'll leave the storytelling to the professionals It was far too long anyway
Parker-Scott Legacy Well, you have all inspired me & I have been out exploring. I've began my own blog for my legacy story & I've even learned how to post pictures (& NOT thumbnails!), so everyone can see my sorry sims. Tad & Caryl are well on their way to his 10 kids IW, with the first 4 off to Uni & Tad's just been abducted (whoot!) & should be showing soon with their 7th child & first alien baby. They're very bland - there's no zombies or vampires or bizarre deaths (yet), but I've got many wonderful things planned for them. Please visit them at your leisure & post me a comment a two. http://suziesim.blogspot.com/ Thank you again for opening this new world to me - I'm having a blast!
Well it first started off with a lecagacy sim named Jalisa Gregory. She was able to afford a small home with a bed, couch, kitched stuff and bathroom. Somm after, she finally got married to Brandon Lilliar, and not long after came baby Tahlia, who is an adult now, married and pregnant. Before becoming an elder Jalisa had two more children named Liz and Amber. Brandon was still a adult when she became an elder, but Brandon had to suffewr when he got fired and blew all thier money, and I mean seriously suffer... Now they are both Eklders, Tahlia married and expecting a baby, Amber isn't far from from being an adult but Liz stioll has a bit to go.. Both elders may not have long to live thought.. But Jalisa is seevreal days older then Brandon
I am disapointed about my Legacy Challenge family. When my Sim, who I named Star Legacy, married Benjamin Long, she took his last name!!! Therefore my Legacy family is now the Long family. Too bad.
That happened to me, too. My original family had two sons and one of them accidently ended up with his wife's last name. I didn't know that it depended on which one proposed marriage. Fotunately, I still had the other son, but he had daughters. I decided that the men they married would have to take their wives' last name. I gave up on pursuing the legacy challenge after that. Too many rules broken already.
I have been playing this legacy challenge and it has made my game far more interesting. However, it is very difficult. My sims are really struggling to stay young, make money, and have enough money to support their kid!
It's even more challenging when you're writing a story and have to be constantly on the lookout for funny, interesting, and/or sweet moments to take a picture of...it's pretty much a Legacy's job to squeeze the funny juice out of anything and everything.
