Carpenter family legacy challenge

[Kreathyr]

Regrettably Monika couldn't come over for some reason, so I didn't age her up yet.

John is still painting away masterpiece after masterpiece.
He earns a lot of money for the family.

Brandon is helping out with painting and playing the guitar for tips.

David has other ideas on making money.
He works in law enforcement and climbs the ladder quickly, he already got promoted twice and the third is on it's way.
On his way home from work one day he stops by the local diner and buys a partnership deed.

Brandon and David are getting closer each day and David is now friends with Monika.

Can't wait to move her in

Molly comes by a few more times and John decided to move her tombstone to a secluded area on the lot.
I decided to keep them here until I need the space.

Kreathyr i like your story!

[Kreathyr]

thank you.
I didn't have much time this past week, I hope to get to the 3rd generation next week.
Feel like it's going a little slow.

Oh wow, that Molly!    I guess a girl's entitled to a few secrets! 

Hmmm...Monika couldn't make it over.    That's not good.  I know when I wanted my Sim to move in this guy she was romantically interested in, it's like the game read my mind and every time I invited him over he would say "sure in a little while"......then I would get another message "something came up".  I invited him numerous times, but he would never show so I finally gave up and chose someone else for her.

Yeah, I know what you mean...sometimes the stories just seem to go sooo sloow.

I had a situation like that, too, igzig.  I thought the guy was just jacking her around by saying he'd come over and then he wouldn't.  I kept with it, though, and finally got them married.  Turns out, those were times when he really was busy with work and stuff.  He was crazy about her and they had a couple of traits in common.  It was just that he had a real job and went to work every day.

[Kreathyr]

That might be what happened to Monika.
She might have aged up and got a job?

Anyway, I'll try again when I get home.
I have to take my Puppy to 'school' tonight, so again time is precious for me.

[igzigpuff]

Sure there's always a valid excuse why that can't come over..     I think part of my reason I gave up on that guy was I found out he had commitment issues.  So whatever his reason for not coming over, I just decided he was too much work. 

Kreathyr, good luck with Monika!

Awww puppy school...what kind of pooch do you have?  Hope the pup is doing well in school! 

[Kreathyr]

Thank you igzigpuff, he's doing great.
Unfortunately we had to practice in the rain and of course, I got sick...

Well all better now and I even played a little legacy 

After aging up Monica she immediately became an elder  , from teen to elder seems like a bad deal to me.
Because elder women can't have babies she is no longer a valid option for the legacy challenge. 

Brandon almost perfects his painting skills and gets bored with it.
One fine Saturday morning, he went out to the park with his guitar to play for tips.
He notices a woman in the crowd and decides to go for it.

Her name turns out to be Julia and she is family oriented, just like Monika.
After talking for a while Brandon finds out she is flirty and a natural cook as well.

Brandon plays a little longer and heads home.

David uses the weekend to work on his logic skill and chats with his partner a little.
He spends the rest of the time cooking and talking to John.

ps, I have a black Labrador

[igzigpuff]

Glad you are feeling better!   
That is very odd about Monica aging into a elder, I didn't know that was possible...bad deal indeed!    Well hopefully Brandon will have better luck with Julia. 

Lab's are a great dog, they are really smart and friendly.  Growing up we had a Lab/German Shepard mix, he was the best dog!  Very loyal and protective.

[Kreathyr]

Wow, been a long time since I've been here...
Regrettably I have to tell you the Carpenters are no more.  
I'll be starting a new legacy soon, I must finish the challenge at least once.

So regrettably I have to start over, but this time I'll start in a slightly different way.

[Metropolis Man]

Nice to see you pop in, Kreathyr. It has been a long time.

[Kreathyr]

A long time indeed Metro

Man have I been busy lately   
Like I said, I'm returning to sunset valley for another Legacy, so you'll be seeing me a little more often.

[Metropolis Man]

So, what exactly was the fate of the Carpenters? Hard drive crash? Or did you just get bored with them?

[Kreathyr]

Well basically I didn't have much time to play for a while and decided to use the 'back-up' USB drive for other purposes.
Later I reinstalled my laptop with Win7 and just deleted everything, I was convinced I had another back-up of the carpenters...

In hindsight I should have known better, this isn't the first time I've done something like this 

[Pam]

Good to see you again, Kreathyr!  Sorry to hear about the Carpenter family.  I'm looking forward to your new one.

[Kreathyr]

I made a start already on a new family.
I'll post the story so far somewhere tomorrow I think.

[Kauri The Sim]

WAHOO!!! I loved reading your legacy! It was one of the first i've ever read! Yay, i'm so reading the new one!

[Kreathyr]

Glad to hear it's appreciated, now go check out the McDrayden family
