Welcome to The Maze Legacy! I joined Carl and Pam's Sims 3 Forum yesterday (December 5th, 2010). And I decided to kick off my "arrival" with a new legacy. Specifically made for CPS3F (Carl and Pam's Sims 3 Forum). :]
Before we start, you may be wondering (may - this isn't for sure): "Why The 'Maze' Legacy?" This is because I couldn't come up with a different name and well, I like mazes!
Well then - let's begin! :]
Wait, hold on just a second. I'm going to quickly explain the rules on how I play my legacies. C:
[These rules are built off of the Sims 2 Legacy Challenge Rules. Most were created by myself.]
1. No cheats. Ever.*
*1. You may use kaching, but penalties are given.
*1. The following cheats are allowed: moveobjects on.
2. The family must remain on the same lot, unless they are to move out.
3. When offspring reach Young Adult status, they must move out.*
*3. Unless they are the chosen heir.
4. When Founder, and their partner, reach elder status, they are to move out.*
*4. Unless an earlier death happens. Then well, they can't move out.
*4. This rule also applies to the heirs.
5. Every toddler must learn everything they can from the blocks and the xylophone.
6. Every toddler must learn walking, talking, and be potty trained before becoming a child.
7. Children must reach skill level five in any skill they choose. (no child in the same generation can share the same skill)
8. Every new generation must have at least one boy and one girl. If two twin girls / two twin boys are born the parents must have another child until they have at least one boy and one girl.
9. Heirs to the next generation will be chosen using random.org's random number generator. Numbers will be placed 1 - 10. Girls are even, boys are odd. If there are more than one boy / girl then generator will be used again. One sister / brother being even, and the other being odd. I won't go into explaining what happens if more than two per gender are born. I might just bore you!
10. The family museum must be updated with portraits of the founder, the founders partner, and every child in the family. Ice Sculptures of the Sims are to be created at Young Adult / Adult age. The museum must have it's own lot - it shall be the family's personal museum.
11. Children may only be adopted after the parents have had at least two children.*
*11. Adopted children may not become heirs.
12. Custom Content (that of which is made from other people on the Sims 3 site or other sites (this content includes: custom houses, objects, clothing, genetics, etc.)) is fully permitted.
13. At least one person per generation is to learn the painting skill.
14. Traits are randomly selected for offspring (using random.org). The founder's traits are open to any selection.
15. Each offspring must decline their first Lifetime Wish and accept the second.
Oh and sorry the actual writing seems short - I'd write more literately but I only do that with few to no picture stories. And since I like to illustrate my Sims stories with pictures, the actual writing will range from short to medium length. C:
Time to begin! C:
To start this legacy - what better way than meet the founder herself? Let's meet her!
As you can tell I'm a fan of Custom Content (CC)... I can't help myself! C: I just love all those cute hairstyles and clothing and shoes and just; it all just makes me go: awwh! <3
Anyways... :]
Statistics:
Name: Kalina Maze
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Traits: Workaholic, Great Kisser, Family-Orientated, Natural Cook, and Frugal.
Favorites: Spaghetti as her food, Classical Music, and the color Blue.
Astrological Sign: Virgo.
Lifetime Wish: Celebrated Five-Star Chef (Reach level ten in the Culinary Career track)
Now that we know all about our founder, let's move to the REAL story! C:
After moving Kalina onto her new lot in Riverview (costing us only §1,900!), I decided to begin construction.
This is what we had after just wall creation:
And this is what we had after adding doors, windows, flooring, and wall paint:
I was quite proud. And we still had around §9,000 left! C: (cloudy memory - can't remember exact number... >.<)
So after switching over to Buy Mode, I went and decorated her house with a living room, a bed, some lights, a kitchen, and bathroom. And a desk with a computer so she could have something to do besides paint / practice cooking in her spare time. Plus, with the computer she could do work on her off days to improve her performance. C:
And this was the final product!
And guess what! We were left with a whopping §1! xD
Well, I'm pretty darn proud of it. C: Let's go see what Kalina thinks!
I linked the picture because I forgot to resize it. Sorry!>:| She doesn't look very happy.
That's because I'm not happy!Gah-! You can talk?
Oh course I can talk! I'm bilingual. All of us Sims are, well - once we become teenagers we are. We learn English and Simlish. We would take the time to learn other languages, like French, Chinese, or Egyptian. But we just never find them time. But, enough of that! Why is my house so ugly?UGLY? I worked hard on this place! Girl, you're broke! You have a simoleon left! ONE. Just one! Plus - would you rather live without walls and outside where everyone can see you sleep and use the bathroom, and bathe?
No...Then?
It's decent. I guess... Not amazing - but it will improve, right?It better be. :| And yes, as your legacy grows your house will be bigger and better and such.
Legacy?You make lots of babies.
Oh.Alright then - let's play! C:
After an interesting conversation with Kalina I sit her down to find a job in the Culinary Career track (it was her first wish!)
So Kalina, now that I know you can talk - what's your job?
I'm a Kitchen Scullion! How great is that?Amazing...?
You bet! I'm on my way to becoming a five star chef!That's the spirit!
And you're not even Ambitious!Well, since she had nothing else to do and she had the want to Work from Home, I went ahead and let her. Her moods were high and she was happy - so I decided, why not improve performance? So she typed away on her computer!
Hey, Kalina, your screen looks blank.
That is because you are a human. And us Sims have superpowers. We get to choose what on the computer you can see and what you cannot! Hence why the screen looks blank to you, but to me it's covered in words and sheets and quizzes on recipes and cooking to complete for work!Uh, okay?
That was interesting. x] After that I decided to have her practice her cooking. And since it was brunch time, what better way than to prepare some waffles? C:
What'cha getting?
Ingredients. To make waffles.WAFFLES! C:
What's up with you and waffles?Waffles are the best breakfast food in the world. They are even delicious without any toppings! I love waffles <3
Alright then.So then Kalina begins to mix the ingredients:
And since she is a Natural Cook, she got Nice Waffles on the first try! C:
How can you argue the deliciousness of those? Look at them. LOOK. <3
After she sat down on the sofa to eat, I noticed I forgot to add a table. D'oh! But I wouldn't have been able to anyways. I mean, you really can't buy anything with a simoleon. x]
Since she had nothing else to do, it was time to
man spouse-hunt! C:
So I sent her off to the Gazebo!
And she found a guy there. :]
But, he was still a teen. So she quickly said goodbye and did some further searching.
And we got lucky!
This is Buck, he's a flirt and is an Overseer of the Dead. So far, that's all we know about him. He's not entirely amazing, but he isn't ugly either. Once he joins the family he's getting a makeover. C:
After lots of flirting and compliments, she gives him a romantic hug.
And then, something fantastic happens to Kalina! She gets her first kiss!
This boots their relationship by a few points and from there, the following happens:
More kissing and an official relationship!
But then, as it gets late, Kalina kisses Buck goodbye and promises to call tomorrow.
And this is where I leave you. I'll continue to snap pictures and play along as more of the Maze Legacy is created! :]
Hope you enjoyed. ;]
