The Character Legacy - Finished, The Final Chapter.

[Pam]

I'm getting the error, too.

[Metropolis Man]

I don't see a Remove Poll at the bottom, 

It's a moderator feature.

, Maybe I could reuse the poll for Gen 2 Names? Is that okay?

Well, you'd just be continuing the practice that we're trying to steer members away from (see Pam's comments above).

[Metropolis Man]

Ok, just an idea. Does that mean Polls to do with Legacies Full stop? (Just want to make sure!)

It's not like we're going to ban your account if you throw one up here and there. Just don't make a habit of it. Before you create a poll, think about who benefits from the poll. If it's just "Hey everyone, vote on who should be my Legacy heir," then only you benefit. So, it's entertainment value is really low for the forum as a whole. But, if you throw up a poll that affects everyone, it's different. For example, I wanted to take a poll soon on how many players actually have World Adventures and plan on purchasing it soon. This is very important information for me because I need to keep tabs on what kind of challenges are offered.

It's okay, Metro. I've decided to set up a Blog on Blogger! I'll make sure to mention Carl's site and to register on the forum because this is the best place ever (for sims i mean!)

[samoht04]

Blog is set up!

*Updates are still being put on here but polls and other things will be on there*

[Pam]

Yeah, you're fine with the blog links.  Great compromise and we appreciate it!  We're also happy that you like it here so much.

Wow, a lot's happened since my last post, (which was a while ago!)

The family finished their holidays, taking back a lot of relics with them. They met lots of people. Daffy was adventuring like crazy. Daisy made a few more bottles and explored a bit of the nectar cellars to find some old nectar. Daffy sold his Money bags he found and bought the teens a scooter each!   ! After getting back, they had all gone down a grade. I solved that quick, then I realised that Pluto actually had a very high skill level in guitar! So Agnes went and got him some songs. After a few days he maxed guitar and Rockstar LTW hasn't shown up yet! He then went down to the theater for about 3 hours and made $330!!! Daisy was working out, showering, playing chess until she was able to workout! She soon maxed Logic after getting high in childhood, athletic is like level 7 and she is almost prepared for her future career. (She broke the radio and tv a lot.) So, I built a gym (with a shower). It's quite impressive now!

1 kitchen/dining/living/hall area
Three Teens Rooms (Double Beds in each)
Main Bedroom
2 Bathrooms
Gym
Garden with trees!  

Dafy is about half a skill point from maxing writing, 2 from painting and he is also level 7 in handiness (saves some bills and upgrades!)
Then Mikey got an opportunity to go to Egypt, but again I had too pay. But seeing as they had 25,000 in funds, it was quite easy. I mainly left Dafy in the base camp and went exploring with Mikey who also got some more stuff. That brings us currently up to date and now I've only got Agnes who stays at home getting stir crazy moodlets! So I'm think of getting her to join Journalism to bring in more funds and keep her out the way, but she will need to work on charisma!

If you want to make more money for the family, then just have Agnes specialize in Romance novels: Loner, Hopeless Romantic, and Bookworm? That's perfect. I see she's also Grumpy, so you'll need to keep that mood bar high to help with the royalty checks.

[samoht04]

Thing is, I changed her traits to - Artistic, Hopeless Romantic, Family Orientated, Bookworm, (forgot the other - I completed her LTW and got 30,000 points).

I see what you mean, though. I was playing her in another game with different traits again and she finished a romance novel (she had the writing lifetime happiness reward for royalty). She got 2,005 royalties from it.

[samoht04]

I know it was only a few hours ago since my last post but here it goes!

Daisy maxed out Atheltics and finished Fitness Nut Challenge - She then aged up and got a job in Law Enforcement. She added Brave to her traits.
Pluto just played guitar and aged up, getting Good Sense of Humour and getting Rockstar as his LTW.
Dafy, the heir, aged up and he added Hopeless Romantic to his traits, so now Mikey can go into a type of retirement, but he is the only one with a good job so he stays!   Until Dafy maxes painting and learns charisma and goes into Journalism! So, this is generation 2"

Dafy Character - Generation 2 Heir


It's going to be hard to let them go. They are the first kids of my Sims to reach adulthood (tells you about my attention span ). I got a message that Cornelia is gonna kick the bucket soon  

I'm also making the new Graveyard across the road on the pond like Pam did.

[samoht04]

I'm thinking of doing a tour of the house on a Flikr Album? Anyone interested?

Important Update!

I added a second floor!!!

(Well maybe not so important, but oh well - it's going to be a big nursery!)

Anyways - I sent Dafy to start learning charisma, he got to level 2 and couldn't go any further - he then called Bella Bachaelor and stated flirting - she wasn't having any of it as she was with someone called Christopher. Dafy had now completed the trits challenge and the aquaintances one! So he began instant friends with people. He then went to China, did an adventure, made out with the book store woman, went home, invited her home, he proposed, she accepted, they celebrated  !! She threw up! Mikey grew up and so did Agnes. Daisy and Pluto got promotions, Cornelia died!

I've decided on a max of 3 kids for Gen 3 (i know it doesn't always work that way). So I need some suggestions for Gen 3 names.
(Well known Cartoon or Characters with cool names! And not Mickey, I missed the C out of Mikey's, name so deal with it   Not really just couldn't be bothered to change it! He's also too cool for it!)

[Pam]

How about Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty? 

[samoht04]

How about Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty? 

Lol. thats a great idea! Last time i saw them was when i was 6 after that I dont remember seeing them on tv 

[Kauri The Sim]

Yay for flinstones!

Your legacy is so fun to read! It's so interesting... I want to do a legacy!
I need to install world adventures, but I'm still exploring the town. I'll do it this week one day.

I hope everything goes well with your legacy, and I hope for no more bratty children. lol

[samoht04]

Thanks, good to know people are enjoying it! Oh and Kauri if you do do it its really good fun, im going to try metros nectar challenge but I don't know if I can stand being away from my Character family for long!  

Im going to do a full update of the whole family (e.g. Traits Careers Skills Friends and Romance)

I actually really like the idea of the Flinstones! So i think Ill go with them!

[samoht04]

I will hint this isn't all of the Sims in the house, but the real story will come out soon.

[samoht04]

As I mentioned there was a new member of the family and here she is...


Wu Character
Traits - Good, Genius, Family Orientated, Ambitious, Lucky
LTW - Level 10 in Medical Career

This is the Nursery...



Now I also said she threw up so here we have.....  

GENERATION 3 - Fred 'Flinstone' Character


His traits are - Disciplined and Friendly. Favs are Classical, Falafel and Purple.

Daisy is also halfway to getting her Chinese man. She is level 4 in her career. Pluto is nowhere near his woman and is level 3-4 in his career. Agnes is enjoying retirement because there isnt much difference Mikey is now cutting down on meetings. Mikey somehow got 77000 lthp and so I bought the teleporter!!!!! The house is worth over 65000 and the family has 10000ish simeolens.

[samoht04]

Fred aged up, into a toddler he was taught his vital skills, It suprised me how much Mikey helped out because he has retired now, I suppose its because he was always busy and never had time to help Agnes out. Fred then aged up again into a Child, he got Athletic as his 3rd Trait. Daisy reached level 6 in her career, also getting the police car. Pluto got to level 5 in his career, Daffy maxed out Painting therefore completing his Life Time Want. Wu reached level 6 logic and now after another fun raising activity she is pregnant but she doesnt know it yet, After this child is born that will be it for Gen 3 (I am making it easy to choose) So far Fred has shown no characteristics I suppose because He can't show his traits as two are teen and older to get the best out of them.

 

P.s Im trying to check my writing and presenting skills as Pam and others have now asked.
P.s.s Anyone got any comments on My Legacy/Writing

P.s.s Anyone got any comments on My Legacy/Writing

I'm seeing quite a few spelling errors. Do you use the Preview button before you click Post? Does your browser have a built-in spellchecker? Personally, if I didn't have a spellchecker players would be calling for my resignation because of incompetence.

I says under options that im using it but it doesnt seem to help spelling? Even though I am in the top english set for my year that doesnt mean I am a great typist - My mum is she is a secretary and can do about 100 words a min.
Do you mean in earlier chapters or later ones? Was the last one okay?

[Metropolis Man]

My typing skills are non-existent. I use the "hunt and peck" method with both index fingers.  Typing and knowledge of proper grammar are two different skill sets.

Some stuff that jumped out from the last page:

simeolens
realised
Too (when it should have been to)
stated
its (with no apostrophe)
sandwitchs
exitable
renouned
chinese (no capitalization)
treleporter

-------

I'm only pointing this stuff out to you because you asked. Don't sweat it and get all self-conscious now. Just be more aware.

[samoht04]

I'll change them now, I sometimes think that I should keep a dictionary on the desk - I use the type without looking at the screen method.

No way.  You are way too fast to be using the hunt and peck method.

[samoht04]

I left off a while ago and hav not played much since but here it goes.

I kicked pluto out because he was annoying me, I needed to let him run his own life, it was hard getting 4 sims ready in the morining. Daisy is still with us because I want her to have a nice man, I've got a foreigner lined up and he should be arriving on sunday, she is almost friends with him (he is Chinese)

Wu then went into labour and came out with the final child of Generation 3 - It was a Boy!!! I called him Barney!!!! Fred & Barney were suggested by Pam. So thanks! He has got Friendly and Good as traits I never really go into politics much so thats what he is lined up for.

Thas all for now!
