The Iridial Legacy: intro and chapter 1.0
Welcome to the Iridial Legacy!
Notes:
- This is the first legacy I've ever publicly posted and my first Sims3 legacy at that.
- I'm combining the Rainbow Challenge, updated for Sims3, with a Random Legacy.
- I do use Awesomemod, but with Super-controller turned off.
- I also use Werismyki's Auto Romantic Socials mod (no 'try for baby').
- I'm cheating to make the heirs' favourite colours match that of their generation, just because.
- I don't change anything I've rolled randomly. Ever.
- I have rolled all the randoms in advance, so I can choose helpful traits from the start and at least stand a chance of winning this challenge.
- Beyond this, I'm working on a strictly no cheating basis.
- As I understand them, the random legacy rules allow me to choose traits etc unless I roll a scenario that specifically bans it. However, because random traits can be fun, I'm randomising at least two of each sim's traits.
- Names are all generation colour-based, with the founders' names being multi-coloured or non-specific.
The Founders (Generation Zero) - all colours
Random rolls:
Marital Structure: couple
Number of Children: one child
Primary Income founder #1: Ambitions job - firefighter
Primary Income founder #2: none
Generational Goal: a party to remember
Misc Fun: homemade
Chapter 1.0
Despite the fact that each seems to be frequently 'creeped out' by the other, Tingent and Chroma get
on remarkably well.
It probably helps that Tingent, with his 'daredevil' trait, often doesn't seem that much saner than Chroma.
Ha hah!
They buy some land and build a cute lil' yellow house.
(I was surprised at how much they could start with. Legacies never used to be like this!)
The very first thing they do...
Twice. I love autonomous displays of affectionate lust.
Admittedly, they haven't got a lot else to do right now to up their 'fun'.
After that, Tingent begins what promises to be another long and intimate relationship...
...with his treadmill.
While Chroma changes into her swimwear in order to make waffles. Like you do.
How a man becomes 'handy'...
All that treadmill kissing seems to be having an effect, doesn't it?
Chroma, however, isn't enjoying her own reflection. Judging by the constantly quashed wishes to join a profession,
maybe she's lacking the self-worth of the gainfully employed.
Silly girl, slack is where it's at.
First night in their new home. I only realised, writing this, that the welcome wagon never came around!
Aww, look at the happy would-be pyromaniac.
After a pretty excessive amount of woohoo - or do I mean 'impressive'? - Tingent heads off for his first day at work.
Awww, he looks so proud.
While there, he meets his workmates, including a rather pointy vampire, Brigit.
She seems to be unaccountably impressed by his lame llama conversation.
Look at that guy playing 'anywhere but here listening to these two, please God'.
Firefighting is so exciting!
Meanwhile, Chroma goes to bed in her formal gear for a snooze, only to wake up almost immediately, feeling queasy.
It could just be that this is what happens when you insist on sleeping in tight leather.
Or it could be the colour scheme; that's certainly getting to me. 8-|
Talking about the colour scheme, look! The vomit matches the tiles!
Chroma's blaming her forays into the world of cooking, but I think we all know what it really is.
Tingent puts out his first fire.
Not all fires end as happily as the first.
Meanwhile, Chroma goes out in the dark to do a little grocery shopping.
By 'shopping', I of course mean stealing fruit and veg from the one community lot in Bridgeport that actually has some.
('Homegrown' really limits what she can cook straight from the fridge, and buying non-meat food is also frowned upon.)
A little later, Chroma goes night-fishing in a nearby park.
I somehow never imaged living The Good Life would involve so much petty pilfering on public property.
While there, she experiences an inexplicable and undesirable wardrobe malfunction! Oh noes!
(She might not like it, but I think it's pretty good as far as Simish maternity wear goes.)
Seeds are sown and fertilised with yummy fishy goodness. What promises to be an impressive garden has its small beginnings.
Yay, buy mode! (I needed the sunlight :p For some reason these two seem to do everything at night.)
Chroma: Guess what?!
Tingent: What?
Chroma: We're gonna have a baby!
Tingent: What?
Tingent: Ohhhhhh. I thought you just had worms or something.
Chroma: Right. Now, go and sort out the lav.
Tingent: Why do I always get given this job?
Me: Because you need to up your handiness skill, dear. Remember?
Tingent: Yeah, well, it sucks.
Me: That's plungers for you.
Tingent: Haha, very funny. Not.
Tingent: I've had enough of this damn thing! *hammers madly*
No, there's nothing at all gratuitous about this picture. Why do you ask?
The plants grow quickly, so does Chroma.
She and I marvel at the game's choice of maternity fetish-wear.
The laundry did get hung eventually. I suspect the grass and dead leaves just added to the couple's unique sense of style.
The baby's coming! Don't panic! Don't panic!
Oh, you're not.
Chroma walks into the hospital, and Tingent? Walks off to get a taxi to work.
*sigh*
Our first sight of the new heir! Is it just me, or does Chroma look, hmm, haunted?
Maybe she knows that this is the only kid I can allow her to have, thanks to the roll of a virtual die.
What a cruel thing to do to a family-oriented sim who isn't even allowed a job!
Just put all that nurturing energy into your plants, hon.
Even the taxis are keeping up with the colour theme. *cough*
The first thing Chroma does on arriving home is put Saffron on the kitchen floor.
This might possibly be my fault, seeing as I completely failed to buy them a cot. Oops.
