Hullo, hullo!
So, I decided that I would do the Sims 4 Legacy Challenge - the one at this website to be exact:
https://www.simslegacychallenge.com/the-sims-4-legacy-challenge-rules/
As someone who mostly plays the Sims 3 and despairs at the "facebookiness" of Sims 4... I'm still rather new to the whole Sims 4 thing. I think it's inferior to the Sims 3. I wish EA would stop ruining my games. (Lookin' at you, Andromeda). If I wanted to play Sims Lite, I would play the version on my phone.
ANYWAY. Even though it doesn't sound it š I decided to stop being bitter and just play and enjoy the damned thing. I did spend an inordinate amount of money on it after all, and I still don't have allllllll the game packs for it. Debating if I want them or not. I guess that depends on how much I decide, "Oh, I guess I like it after all."
I understand that there might be only two or three people on the entire blockchain who will even find this interesting, and none of those three people will even see this. I accept that. I just thought it'd be nifty to chronicle my upcoming Legacy having never done one before.
I was going to do this on dTube, but alas, the Australian Internet Overlords have deemed dtube to be a corrupting influence on the poor, weak minds of Australians and have banned it following whoever the heck decided it was a good idea to upload the Christchurch shooting footage to the damned thing. So much for decentralisation. (No, I don't want to use a VPN; my internet is slow enough as it is, thank you. No, I don't want to use YouTube, eurgh.)
Anyway! I'm sorry. It seems I'm in a bit of a ranty mood today, haha! ONWARD.
Meet Trinity Kael, whose first name had the glory of being randomised! I'll be honest - I'm not entirely sure how to actually DO the Legacy Challenge, the insane amount of rules make my head hurt and I don't understand half the simglish going on, but I've decided, as follows:
- Each generation's first born will be the heir for the next generation. Male or female.
- In the event of multiple children, if one has the green eyes of Trinity they will instead become the next heir. Because I like green eyes.
- Each child born will be randomised via the trait randomiser tool on the aforementioned website.
- No cheats will be used, except in the event of a stuck sim.
- No save-scumming; come what may.
- No anti-aging anythings. No bargaining with death, no ambrosia, no youth potions.
- Normal sims lifespans so it's a go-go-go Legacy! (how do people even play short lifespans???? I need my sims to have like, 250 days in their lives.)
And the other thousand rules on the website be damned. As long as I get to generation 10... which... honestly... I've also never done before. I was also curious about the ugly challenge where you start with a beautiful sim and try to make the family line as ugly as possible by Gen 10... but, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Shrug.
Ahhhhh, home sweet home --I managed to make a cute little starter home with a decent bed, decent fridge, and decent oven. She's a foodie so her food needs to be cooked and flavoured to perfection. No cheap-ass kitchen for her!
She's even going to grow her own foods! Tempted to do a little mini-challenge in this and make her only eat food that's grown and caught herself. So that'll be fruits, vegies, and fish meals. It's also her job because if she's only going to have a "normal" length life-span, I want to control every teensy second of her life.
That goes for her descendants too. So I guess I'm having a family line of gardeners, fishermen, musical buskers, writers, and entertainers. Or people who marry for money. Muahaha. (or the three jobs where you follow them to work.)
After spending half the day gardening, she decided to unwind at GeekCon. To her glee, there were several young adults around, not just older adults! She quickly chatted up a few, but discovered they were all married. Poor fools. Then she found this guy sitting at the bar! Hello, opportunity.
(Because, being a normal-paced Legacy challenge, we have to get to the whole breeding thing like, yesterday!)
She found out that he is family oriented and he loves cats! Match made in heaven.
One thing led to another and she soon brought him home to "watch movies." Alas, she then discovered that he, like everyone else, was married. And also looks a bit like a serial killer. Perhaps it was for the best.
Not one to give up so easily, the next night Trinity heads out and about and meets Paolo. Yes, she's wearing a purple pimp hat.
After discovering that every young man in town was taken and her Legacy was going to die out when she meets her end, the very first thing she exasperatedly asked this guy was, "Are you single?"
"Yes," he responds! Hallelujah! Break out the candles! At this rate she doesn't care if he's a child-hating, non-committal jock-type who will leave her after the first born arrives, she has found someone and will endeavour to dig her claws into him as soon as she can.
Interlude: Yes, this is apparently a romantic comedy, however! It turns out Trinity has a stalker in the guise of an old man who parades around in his purple underpants.
Purple-Underwear-Stalker-Man is even present for Trinity's first kiss!!
That does not bode well.
I would also like to note here, that as soon as she drags this guy kicking and screaming into her family tree, he's getting a new hairstyle and a beard-trim. And maybe a change of clothes.
Soon, after enjoying an alarming amount of drinks considering Trinity's very low income at the moment, they decided that skinny dipping would be a grand idea. At a public pool. In the middle of the day. With a nearby bartender leching at them.
But, leching bartender be damned! Now that they have seen one another naked, they are fueled by lust and decide that now is a good time to pop the question. After two days of dating. Sounds like a bad celebrity romance.
Will these upcoming nuptials transform into a marriage that lasts a lifetime, or will it famously last only 48 hours?
TIME WILL TELL! Find out on our next scheduled programme.... which.... could be tomorrow or a week from now, haha. I'm pretty fickle. ššš But I do intend on getting to Generation 10 and chronicling this little sim journey.
Farewell!
I think it goes without saying, but all of these screenshots are mine! And they're from the game, the Sims 4.
