Larson Legacy

[Andrew]

Introduction & Chapter I

Hello! This is my first legacy. By the way I love the site! It's a very useful resource. I also love hearing about Pam's Dreamweaver legacy so I thought I would try one out! But I am not going to attempt the Immortal challenge, yet.


Okay! Now that's out of the way. Meet Lucas Hugh Larson



His traits are Workaholic, ambitious, charismatic, schmoozer, and friendly. His lifetime wish is to be a CEO

Here is his humble home:
 
The sink was hidden behind the wall if you were wondering.

The first thing Lucas did was apply for a job at the Doo Peas Corporate Tower


Then he decided to walk around the town and meet some sims! He was walking to the pool when he saw Jamie Jolina.


He instantly had a wish to talk to her. So I let him


They spent hours talking away and became best friends. Eventually he proposed to her.

But that didn't go well...


So a few hours later he tried again, and it was a success! Note: I originally did not plan for him to marry Jamie, but she has a high position job at the medicine career.


After a long day, they finally went to bed. Tomorrow was the first day of work for Lucas and Jamie Larson.


Tell me what you think! I will post their next day soon!

Great start I can't wait to hear more about the Larson family

Andrew, nice start! I chose Jamie as my fouder's spouse, and she's great, and she gets beautiful baby sims.

Welcome to the forum Andrew! I can't wait to read more of your legacy story.

[Joria]

Great start, Andrew.

Chapter II

The first day of work went good for Lucas and Jamie! Lucas almost got a promotion but he managed to befriend his boss. Jamie was in red for job performance, but she brought it back up to green. I found out Jamie had a car in her inventory, so selling that gave the Larsons' enough money to built a temporary house.



I also gave Jamie a quick makeover



Lucas has been working very hard. I bought him Office Hero and Entrepreneurial Mindset. He is able to get a promotion everyday now and will hopefully reach his lifetime wish by next week! When he is not holding meetings he is working on is practicing Charisma.



On Friday Lucas was at level four of the Business career and Jamie was level eight of the Medical career. Then Lucas found out Jamie is expecting a baby! Luckily they have the weekend off to prepare!



On Saturday the Larsons held an office party. Oddly Morgana Wolff showed up but Thornton didn't. I am very interested to see if Thornton and Morgana will stay together in this game.

After the party I found out Nancy Landgraab turned into a vampire!


Then on Sunday, Jamie...




Thanks for everyones replies above! Also, how do I resize the images?

[Simstar3]

Where's Nancy? I can't see her in the picture.

[smuffy]

Also, how do I resize the images?

One way of doing it is to go into the album on photobucket, and then click on the image you want to upload. Then click on resize on the toolbar above the image (it's the fourth one along from the left). Then save. I'm sure there are easier ways to do it, but I don't know them.

And I've decided to do the same thing and give the Legacy a go before another shot at the Dynasty.

[Andrew]

Where's Nancy? I can't see her in the picture.

During the party she was working/playing on my sims computer. You can see her in the image of the party. She wasn't a vampire yet in that picture

I know I can resize images via a photo editor. I was just wander if the bbcode for resizing images worked here. I haven't tested it yet but it is [img=height x width][/img]. Never mind, I tested that and no luck.

Chapter III

Lucas woke up and took Jamie to the hospital with Gregory! Gregory is a loner and artistic. He has his mothers skin tone.


When the Larsons arrived home. Lucas hired a butler. Out of some odd luck the butler's name was Greggory Matthews. At first he was kinda creepy. Greggory has been working non stop. He sleeps for 30 sim minutes then works. Although my sims do have a surplus of food.


A few days later Jamie aged up to adult. The family didn't hold a party because Lucas was working and holding meetings. For Jamie's birthday I gave her another quick makeover.


Lucas was finally promoted to CEO and beyond. I had to midlife crisis Jamie because I frequently found her flirting with Greggory. Jamie's new traits are family oriented, savvy sculptor, artistic, bookworm, and genius. Towards the end of the week Gregory aged up to toddler. Here he is with Greggory. Gregory and Greggory!

Do Thornton and Morgana Wolff often break up autonomously? I don't think I've ever seen this in my game!

[Andrew]

They have broken up in my past games, but I don't know if they are still together in my current game.

[Becki]

They have broken up in my past games, but I don't know if they are still together in my current game.

That is so strange! I will have to pay attention in my current game to make sure whether or not they stay together. I hate to ask for breakups and Morgana is so pretty. If I'm going to ask a female to leave her husband it is almost invariably Iliana Langerak since I think she is so much fun to play!

Chapter IV

Jamie has been working on sculpting, and she is pregnant again! Jamie wants a boy and Lucas wants a girl.



Jamie gave birth to a girl, Marilyn. I accidently exited out of the window to pick Marilyn's traits, so she is a blank page!



After I bought Marilyn, it was Gregory's birthday! Sadly Lucas and his son don't have much of a relationship, so the butler, Greggory helped Gregory blow out the candles.



When Gregory grew up I was a bit surprised that he was wearing his underwear  



Here is a more detailed snap shoot of Gregory.



After Gregory's first day of school he brought home Mercedes Landgraab. She might be a perfect wife for Gregory. My only fear is she will become a vampire.



The Larsons are working on a home renovation, but I ran out of money so it's kinda one third of the way built. I will post picture when I am done. The butler Greggory left, I am not sure where he went but he just kinda disappered. I tried hiring him back, but I keep getting different butlers everything.

[Joria]

Andrew, I think there is a way to give your boy his traits.  Not sure how but if you ask around I bet someone knows.

[Becki]

If nothing else, you can use the midlife crisis reward in order to put them in. I've had this happen to me as well. Missing two traits might be a serious handicap later on in your legacy.

[Andrew]

I will wait until Marilyn ages up to child. Then I might be able to pick her traits. Other wise I guess I have to use testingcheatsenabled to pick her traits.

[Becki]

No, you won't get the chance when she ages up to child. They will still be blanked out, or at least that has been my experience. I'd go for the cheat or use the midlife crisis.

Why are you worried about having a vamp? I'm trying specifically to get one in my generation 1 so I can get a black sheep

Becki, the rules say that vamps are banned from Dynasties, and then I remembered that Andrew is doing a Legacy. I'm pretty sure they're banned under those rules too.

[Becki]

As far as I know the Legacy Challenge hasn't been updated at all for any of the expansions. If it has, I haven't found the rules for it. I've been following the Sims 2 Legacy Challenge rules as best as possible because I felt like there's more dimension to them. Since vamps and other "occults" were allowed in the Sims 2 Legacy, I assume that they are for The Sims 3 as well. It never said anything about ghost babies, just resurrecting ghosts, for example.

Chapter V

Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, I am been busy. I recently bought some clothes via sims store so I decided to give my sims a polished makeover. I thought the Diva set would fit Jamie well.


Lucas.


There house isn't done yet but when it is done it will sorta resemble this:


The family has become quite recognized, they all are either a 2 or 3 star celebrity. Lucas has abundant amount of free time after purchasing hardly hungry and a few other rewards. He had a birthday party at the beach. So, he decided to learn the piano. Lucas has an odd work schedule. He holds meeting everyday, so he doesn't socialize with his kids much. Gregory has been trying to grab his fathers attention, so he became the family's writer. So far he has written several novels. Jamie decided to scrap sculpting and change her passion to painting. She achieved her lifetime wish of being a world renown surgeon, and quit to become a full-time painter. She is pregnant again and Lucas is hoping for a son. Marilyn aged up and child and Gregory aged up to teen.

Lucas aging up to adult, while being surrounded by his lady friends.


Gregory is going steady with Mercedes, hopefully his father will accept him if he keeps money in the family.


Marilyn as a child.

I would love to hear some name suggestions for the newest member of the Larson family!

[ratchie]

Do you have a name theme in mind. Do you want to go traditional like Royal names such as William,Henry,Beatrice. Or perhaps named after predious stone such as Peridot,Ruby,Saphire,Jasper,Mayve biblical names Adam,Eve,Cain,Able,Moses,Deliliah.

Rachel.

For a boy I was thinking something German (Ralph, Conrad, or Kaspar) or something Latin (Quintinus, Augustus, Lucas, or even Nero) I was even considering William. I like your femina name suggestions. Thanks

[ratchie]

Here are some names that mean immortal Ambrose,Arius, Eilif, Emrys and Khalid for boys/
Amarantha and Ambrosine for girls.

Chapter VI

It's a boy! I decided to make him the crazy little brother so I named him Nero Thornton Larson. His traits are Neurotic and Insane. I am happy he inherited his fathers hair color, I was getting annoyed all the kids were blondes. I plan on making him a chess grandmaster. Here is a picture of him as a toddler. (I haven't modified his appearance, and don't plan to)


A day after Nero's birthday, Marilyn as aged up to a teen. She applied for a job at the movie studios. BTW I forgot to mention this in older posts but I had to cheat to give her traits . Her traits are Star Quality, Charismatic, excitable, and I forgot the last one. I already found her a potential spouse, Elton Keaton. Here is a picture of Marilyn as a teenager.


Jamie's birthday is only two days away and Lucas's is about 7 or 8. I don't think Lucas will every wish to retire. I think Gregory's birthday is in 6 also. I am interested to see what Lucas's is salary is by the time he dies. Currently it is about $500 an hour.

I will post pictures of their house next time!
