TRANSCRIPT
Right now I’m installing the Pets EP so of course that means I made it through another generation. Well, I made it through last night, but this afternoon I’ve been powering through college for the generation five heir. Yes, their sibling(s) went to college as well, but only they graduated. You’ll see why.
Last time there was a bit of a plot because the G4 spouse, Lee Kauker, flirted with the brother of the heir. How dare he! I’m not upset about the cheating, but I’m upset that he tried to make a plot happen. I’m no longer that kind of player (back in the old days, I tried to write legacies with plots which just ended up as massive failures on my part).
This time around, we’re going to incorporate the business aspect of open for business and try and get one to level 10, because that is the main goal of the EP. Let’s see how well that goes. When I was younger, I was successful at doing that, but I think I had some hack called “Business Controls You” which I no longer have on hand. New mods for this time include pregnancy for all genders because of G4.
And Pets is already installed before I can even finish this page! That’s the other reason I failed legacies in the past; I couldn’t get done the writing fast enough and grew bored of them. The focus should be just playing through a legacy and presenting the information. At least if you aren’t trying to hone your writing skills… this page has been long… ONWARD!
STEP NINE: HAVE HELP QUIT BECAUSE YOU’RE A SLAVEDRIVER; CLOSE UP SHOP TO WORK ON NEEDS AND MAKE PRETTY OBJECTS
STEP TEN: RETURN HOME AND BUILD MAUSOLEUMI could only go up a few levels in the business before I needed to get on with the pregnancy.
STEP TWELVE: GIVE CREATOR A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE YOU COULD GET KNOCKED UP RIGHT BEFORE BEING AN ELDER
STEP SIXTEEN: MEET GENERATION FIVEIt’s a girl! Meet Ariel Legacy. 2/1/10/6/10. Super athletic and nice, but shy and dirty.
STEP TWENTY-FIVE: EULOGYFour generations completed, one in the midst, and 5 more to go before The How-To Legacy crowns its winner!Or something like that.
STEP THIRTY-THREE (A): NON-CHEESECAKE TWINSMeet Mackenzie Legacy; 2/3/9/7/10, blonde-hair, the custom eyes
STEP THIRTY-THREE (B): NON-CHEESECAKE TWINSAnd Madison Legacy; 4/4/10/7/10. He’s a boy. Unless another kid comes along and has a ltw that won’t lag my game going forward, I think Mackenzie will be the heir simply because I want to see how long it takes to breed out those eyes
STEP THIRTY-FIVE: FIRST CHILD OF G5 AS A CHILDAriel is still cute, but she’s a spare… I’m sick of the brown hair at this point.
STEP FORTY-TWO: REACH LTW OF G3 HEIRGod that took forever. Constantly having her painting was a pain and a half
STEP FORTY-FOUR: CHILD MACKENZIEShe technically grew up first because she was born first, but I didn’t want to spam the file with pictures of her pre-makeover
STEP FORTY-SIX: THAT FIRST DAY AFTER KIDS GO TO SCHOOL AND NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DO HOMEWORK
We’ve all had to do it… it is boring and if they take a break, they don’t get the memory
STEP FIFTY: ENJOY THE NEW KID NPCS FROM OFBHe was always be an ugly child. My sims will always be cute-ish. All hail player sims!
STEP FIFTY-TWO: BECOME TEENAGERAriel rolled knowledge and wants to max 7 skills. OFB actually randomizes the turn-ons/offs so she likes stinky vampires and hates makeup. ACR also rolled her as straight.
STEP FIFTY-FIVE: MEET JUSTINE1 LEGACYYeah, I messed up majorly when naming this kid. She was meant to be Justine, but I hit the 1 key and then enter before I could edit. I fixed it later through boolprop. She is 6/3/9/7/10. Neater than all her siblings, but still full nice points
STEP FIFTY-EIGHT: BECOME TEENAGERSMackenzie rolled romance and wants to be a hall of famer. She likes glasses on blonds and hates brunettes. Way to go Mackenzie!
STEP FIFTY-NINE: BE A POSEURMadison rolled knowledge and wants to max 7 skills like Ariel. He likes cologne and swimwear and hates makeup.
STEP SIXTY: BE ANDROGYNOUS LOOKINGJustine became a very androgynous looking toddler. She looks the most different from the rest of the family, which would have been cool had she not been another brunette.
STEP SIXTY-FIVE: BECOME ANDROGYNOUS LOOKING CHILDJustine really is a very boyish looking little girl. But why did she have to be a brunette!
STEP SEVENTY-TWO: WONDER IF THERE IS A HACK SO THEY AUTO-MAKE FAMILY MEALS INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR OWN THING IN THE ONE KITCHEN
STEP SEVENTY-SIX: EAT DINNER WHILE HAVING THE GAME ON AUTO-PLAY; COME BACK JUST AS G3 HEIR DIESAndrea died at 76, goddamnit.
STEP SEVENTY-SEVEN: EVERYONE AGES UP AT THE SAME TIMEJustine became a family sim who wants to marry off six kids, likes glasses and black hair but not costume make-up.Wright and Lee became elders and Lee’s hair is now officially stupid.
STEP SEVENTY-NINE: TRY AND RUN A BUSINESSSo the goal of this generation was unsuccessful. I could only get the shop up to level 7. Maybe in a future generation I can get it up to level 10, but for now I failed that part.
STEP EIGHTY-ONE: HATE LEE’S FACE
So all of the kids had facial changes when becoming adultsDamn Lee’s genetics!
STEP EIGHTY-THREE: FIND SPOUSE FOR MADISONShe has two bolts with Count Venkat Garth, so he’s the G5 spouse. He may not be blond, but let’s try and work with red hair in the family.
STEP EIGHTY-FOUR: TAKE AFTER YOUR FATHER IN ALL THE WRONG WAYSI guess being a jerk started for Lee in college just as it does for Ariel. YOU HAVE TEN NICE POINTS, DAMNIT!
STEP EIGHTY-NINE: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARSExcept only one is a bear, one is a muscle queen, and one is a twinky heterosexual.
STEP NINETY-NINE: CONSIDER HOW BEING A VAMPIRE UNTIL GRADUATION IS BETTER FOR YOUR NEEDS THAN BEING A LESBIAN UNTIL GRADUATION
STEP ONE HUNDRED: MANAGE TO MAINTAIN A STRICK LIFE OF STUDYING AT HOME INSTEAD OF GOING TO CLASS, LIKE EVERY OTHER COLLEGE STUDENT
STEP ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE: USE LAST OF STUDENT HEALTH PLAN TO CURE YOURSELF OF ANYTHING YOUR BOYFRIEND GAVE YOU
STEP ONE HUNDRED AND NINE: MARRY BOYFRIENDVenkat is a pleasure sim who wants to marry off six kids. I did not take down what his personality was or what his turn ons and offs were. Sorry.
That was long and my hand is cramped from writing out “one hundred and …” for so many slides. Yes, manually. It’s a keyboard, not magic.
So there we have it. I messed up Open for Business, but I learned some valuable lessons from this EP. One is that customers are awful and you have to ask them to leave multiple times if they complain and lose stars. Two is that you need to remember which faces are broken in game and won’t show up until young adulthood. Three is that being a vampire is a great way to make the most out of your college experience, although sucking someone’s blood will count as sexual assault so just stick to the hermit thing.
Now I’m halfway done this legacy, and I have to tell you it feels great. My biggest fear is that the game will lag as I install more EPs, so bare with me in the future. I know that this has been a daily post, but once I start work next week it may not be the same.
I want this done as soon as possible. Legacies have been something I’ve been itching to complete properly since around 2006.
Anyways, time to work on G6- Rex
