The Halliwell Dynasty 5. Practice makes perfect!
« on: August 19, 2011, 10:27:47 PM »
Hi everyone. My name is Wyatt Halliwell. I am very ambitious, I'm also a born salesman, I have a natural green thumb, I love the outdoors and I'm also kinda over-emotional.

I'm fully aware that you all don't know who I am, but I'm related to Penny Halliwell. My mother married a green guy, and I was the result of that since I know I don't really look like her, but if you look closely, I have her beautiful red eyes, and of course my hair is the same color. Right now I live in Riverview. I was at the library tonight, doing some research on my family history.

I found out that my grandmother (in Charmed) well actually she would have been my great times 7 grandmother (if the previous Dynasty would have been completed) started a Dynasty in Sunset Valley! I was on a website called Carl and Pam's The Sims 3 & Sims Medieval Forum, and I was reading about my family. So, I decided that I too would start one. Hopefully mine will be more successful than theirs. I was reading about aging bugs, viruses and them turning invisible and not being able to interact with one another and things of that nature. I'm not scared though. I think I can pull it off, I really do. First thing I did after deciding to start my own Dynasty was read a gardening book.

Then naturally I wanted to have a career in gardening, so I headed over to the City Hall and registered.

I know I got a few seeds from learning my first point in gardening, but that's not nearly enough for what I'm going to do, so I headed to the grocery store and bought more.

Than I of course went home and started planting them. I bought at least one of everything, even though I can't plant them all yet. I also bought an awful lot of garlic, as the book said I would need fertilizer to obtain the perfection in the plants that I desire to reach the goal of my life.

This left me with $93 to live on. I read about mysterious money floating from the sky for my grandmother, but nothing like that happened to me. I wonder why? Well, that's it for this time, I hope everyone likes me as much as they did grandma. She was a popular woman!!

Esther's words:
Yeah I know I just ended the other one today, but I am in a good mood so I decided to just jump right back in haha. As you can see, I've kept the Halliwell hair, but I've decided to change the colors to red and gray. The Ohio State Buckeyes, which is my favorite football team, starts playing soon, and there colors are red and gray. Oh I also changed from blue people to green people. ;D I'm going to try not to cheat with this one as much, even though I'm certainly NOT going for HoF cause I'm using make needs static. I chose Riverview because I'm trying to keep my attention span during the boring 5th try, and by choosing a male founder that is already different, but I also wanted a whole change of scenery. So if someone can let me know, who's the Agnes of Riverview? That sounds wrong, but poor Wyatt has less than $100 lol. Hope you all enjoy this one as much as the other one. Also what do you think of the title? I was talking to my brother and asked him of a clever way to say 5, and his first comment was well practice makes perfect. I cracked up laughing and told him Thank you!   :D

Esther, I don't remember any Agnes types in Riverview but there are two teenage girls that come from the rich side of the tracks - Laurel Grisby is one and MaryKay Shallow.  I don't think either of these girls would be suitable for Wyatt as Laurel hates the outdoors and MaryKay is evil.

Maybe they will change their ways of life once Wyatt charms them ;D

Ok thank you Mtglady. I'll keep my eye on them for when they grow up. See which one Wyatt chooses.  ;D Thank you for the kind words Gogo. I'm sorry the last one got so long, I'm thinking about linking the updates in the first post, as I think I know how to do it.

Oh no. Maybe I'll "edit" her appearance lol.

I knew what she meant lol. Thank you, yes sometimes it is, but when I was ending the last one, all these awesome ideas starting going through my head, so I just had to restart. It doesn't mean I am not sad about Penny, Patty and Prue though. But Wyatt is helping.  ;D

Good luck on your re-start, Esther.  I believe Billy Caspian is the catch of Riverview, but that won't work for Wyatt.  I didn't realize the Shallow family has money.  They live in a trailer compound.  Oh, wait.  No, that's the Broke family.  Laurel Grisby is hard on the eyes, but it might be fun to see how many generations her features will last.

@Esther
Excellent to see the Halliwells back again! I reccomend Rhoda Bagley. She's sort of, erm, Evil, but Edit-in-CAS can fix that! (Also, she has a nice car...) Also, while there, maybe you could get some green on her...?

I think Rhoda Bagley may be pregnant when the game starts, although not showing yet.  Seems like she is pregnant early in every game I've played in Riverview.  She also ages to elder fairly quick.  She's not a young chick is what I'm saying.

Well, I don't know anything about riverview, so I can't help you there, what I do know is I'm thrilled to see you restarting already!  ;D

I like your use of Wyatt in place of a lady, since in Charmed everyone was thinking Pipper would have a daughter instead of a son when she was pregnant. It's like he's following in his own footsteps!

Good luck, I really hope we can keep away all the bug demons this time!

Fifth time's a charm(ed)!  Great restart Esther.   I would almost recommend Jon Lessen as a friend move in.  He's across the street and rich and then you can take your time find Mrs Halliwell.   Good luck in Riverview!

Yay, the Halliwells are back!  Wyatt is hot - I'm going to call him the Incredible Hunk (with apologies to Stan Lee and Marvel Comics)!  Good luck this time, Esther.  If anyone deserves a glitch-free game, it's you!

Thanks Pam, Seabody, Juxt, Chronic, Rica and Kat. I think I'll move in a teen and age transition them, kinda like Morty because I definitely don't want someone that's going to be an elder soon. Very true Juxt, every time Phoebe or Paige would say something about their niece, I'd reply nephew!  ;D I really hope all the bug-demons got vanquished!! Yes, his roots are blue so all his body hair is blue! I'll take a pic of him with no shirt on, it's pretty hilarious! Incredible Hunk works for me! I always thought Wyatt in the show (the older Wyatt) was a hottie, so I'm glad it worked out that way in-game! Thanks for all the good thoughts, maybe this will be the bug-free game I want and I know all of you want it too, so hopefully it will be! Oh, and yes whoever gets moved in for Wyatt, will also be turned green. Thank goodness they put in that cheat, that's so much easier than how I was turning them blue!

Since I had less than $100, and my plants are just planted so no money from that for a few days, I knew I had to do something. Grams had to have been the most popular woman, and everyone loved her because no one was helping me the way they helped her. Reading hers was nothing like my real life. I honestly thought I'd be living on easy street, but this is hard!! I did some more research and was surprised to find out my neighbor, Jon Lessen was rich! So I went over and talked to him for a little bit.

I soon invited him over, and then I asked him to move in with me. I figured he would say no, considering we only met a few hours ago, but to my surprise he said yes! He brought $20,000 with him and a couple books, which I sold. I built a small room in the basement, I learned a few things from Grams.

I found out something else too. This teenager named Laurel Grisby lived down the street, so I asked her to move in too. She only brought less than $1,000 with her, but we're doing ok so far, and Jon quit his job with the music industry and started painting, so that will help throughout the next few days until my garden gets going.

That day was obviously Laurel's birthday, so Jon and I stood by and clapped while she left her teen years behind.


She turned into a fine looking young adult, so I was surprised when she said she was going to the salon to get a makeover. But I said ok, I mean she's a grown woman now, so even if I would have said no she would have gone anyways. When she came back, my mouth hit the floor! This is the new Laurel Grisby.

My heart felt like it was in my mouth. Plus it is pounding a mile a minute, so I barely heard myself say hi. I seem to recall asking if I could hold hands with her, and when she giggled and batted her lashes at me, I almost fainted!

We talked, well flirted for a few more minutes, than I asked for my first kiss.  When her lips touched mine, I seriously saw fireworks in my mind. The only words I could think of is be my girl forever! So, I said exactly that. And to my utter delight and joy, she said yes!

My head was spinning, my heart was pounding, and my palms were sweaty. Next thing I remember, I was on my knees infront of her, asking her the scariest four words in the simlish history. Will you marry me?

She looked at me, and I saw the joy and tears in her eyes. She said "Wyatt, I know we haven't known each other long, but I have never felt for anyone the way I do for you. It would be my greatest pleasure to become your wife." I jumped up and grabbed her in the biggest hug!! So I am so happy to inform you guys, that I'm an engaged man! Last pic of the night is me and my beloved fiance watching the stars together, even though to tell you the truth, I'd rather gaze at the stars in my Laurel's eyes.


Esther's words:
Maybe I shouldn't talk about Penny so much, but it's kinda my way of honoring her since she will no longer be a sim in my dynasty. What do you all think? Keep talking about her occasionally or not at all? Also, in Charmed, Wyatt never had a gf/wife so I left her name the same.
