Moore Round Robin Legacy, Generation 4.1!
I usually don't include a recap in my actual entry posts, but this time it's necessary! This is the first post of my round of this round-robin legacy. That means if you want to catch up or start over from the beginning, you can't do it by hitting tags in my journal. Eep. So, for your convenience:
Generation 1 (simmericangirl)
1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | Poll
Generation 2 (l-amanda)
2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 2.5 | Poll
Generation 3 (simsforaranya)
3.1 | 3.2 | 3.3 (+Poll)
All right, here is the delightful winner of the heir poll. Just in case the numbering is confusing you, this is the fourth round, but it's the third generation heir, Dante Moore.
Personality spread if you're curious: 10 Neat/Outgoing 1/Active 9/Playful 7/Nice 1. He's a fun one!
Like all Romance sims in my neighborhoods, he gets a fun makeover. His LTW in simsforaranya's game? 20 Simultaneous Loves. The LTW he got in my game? 20 Simultaneous Loves. Obviously, his life is meant to be unfulfilled, so who am I to reroll to change things?
This time around, we are trying something new with a legacy sim starting out. No, I did not cheat, perish the thought! Dante is going to start out his new life with crippling debt to live in this big, beautiful, mostly empty house! Currently, there is 50,000 worth of mortgage bushes on the lot, which means he loses 500 simoleans a day until that amount goes down.
I wasn't joking about the empty part. While there are light fixtures in every room, the living room has nothing besides that fireplace you see through the archway. He's in the family room with a couch and a bookshelf. His bedroom has a bed, a mirror (hey, romance sim), a couple of lamps.
He has two bathrooms with necessary fixtures, and then the kitchen is probably the only room furnished properly. He still has to handwash his dishes and has a bin instead of a compactor. (I also trade out that fridge later because I have apparently never actually used it--it's not updated for Seasons.)
My favorite thing about Dante is he has almost all of his cooking points already.
Okay, so since I put Dante in the same hood as the Delines, that means our welcome wagon is underwhelming. A Deline spare's wife, a Deline spare's live-in girlfriend, and the Generation 8 Deline heir.
Luckily for Dante, Erik Deline is monogamous and already commited to a woman.
I can see that Dante has a winner of a personality.
As Dante turns off the least-committed member of the welcome wagon by scowling at her conversation topics, Erik talks to his sister-in-law about how awesome it is to have a fiancee!
Wait...what the hell just happened here?
Yes, Erik, I can see that Dante has game, I just want to know why Gretchen's arguing about her favorite thing--money--has won her heart over.
Sometimes, I really really don't understand ACR.
If only Dante's LTW was woohooing 20 sims, then I could have hope that he'd get it. But I don't think every woman is going to want to be yelled towards the bed.
Suddenly, I hear loud, LOUD laughter.
Apparently, Sierra just told Erik what happened to Gretchen.
That was...nice, Dante. We should do it again soon.
Sure. I'll call you.
Hey, have you seen Gretchen? ...my girlfriend?
Of course I haven't, Brent!
Since the reason I decided to move Dante to this hood was the overpopulation of female townies (because the Delines had several generations where they only produced straight female offspring), we're heading off to a community lot to avoid poaching any more girlfriends.
Great. A married legacy side character, and the 60-year-old business owner make up the female population at the club.
I random-rolled turn-ons and a turn-off for Dante, and he's attracted to brunettes. There goes our genetic diversity. :(
Sorry, Dante, she's not attracted to you, there happens to be another dude here with your hairdo. Besides, she's underage.
Oh good, he likes the woman who just walked in!
...and Gotherella. Well you no can has!
I'm not sure about this one. It's not even dark yet, and she's stumbling into the place drunk.
I don't think that pissy thing can work out twice.
Oh sure, be civil to someone I won't let you have!
*facepalm*
Oh wow, I can't believe she didn't want you flirting with her after that!
B-but...I'm adorable! How can she resist?
You weren't being nice to her a second ago!
...girls like badasses.
Even if that were true, this little exchange here proves that you are not a badass.
Ah, I see that your conversation has improved!
(Unfortunately, for some reason, this cute brunette to our right has -1 bolts with Dante.)
Hey...come here often?
He doesn't realize that I'm 60, happily married, and a lesbian, does he?
Wellll...he's a Romance sim so, chances are, even if he did realize, he'd still give it a good try.
Aside from Kay, the tipsy girl with the black pigtails, this was a bust, so a tired Dante goes home. I was hoping to get a girl to move-in and have Dante mooch off of.
Even though I had Dante send the welcome wagon away before leaving the lot, Erik is too important to leave when told!
Hey, that looks pretty good, can I have some?
What. the. hell?
After a nap, I send Dante out to a downtown lot. This should improve the variety of sims showing up. I'm so proud that he's managing a decent conversation here. Unfortunately, it's with Libby Deline.
Hey, I don't remember spawning a Diva, but here she is!
Oh for fuck's sake, I'm pretty sure we all realized how you felt about Gretchen by picture five of the update!
Damn me and my already having a boyfriend!
Shut up, Gretchen. This chick is LOADED and Dante is practically indentured to whatever bank really owns that house of his!
Oooh. I've been itching to marry Themis in somewhere, but the Delines have been obstinate.
Might as well talk to everyone. Who knows, there might be some chemistry even if she's blonde.
Great. An eligible walk-by and your first interaction with her is to throw a baseball at her face. You are probably tied for absolute worst Romance sim I've ever had, Dante.
I get him a job in the Adventure career. He is also completely out of money and hasn't met a woman he has more than one bolt with. So I add another 10k mortgage bush and buy him a magic crystal ball. Here's his top match in the hood.
Meet Miranda Charvat, a Deline spare-spawn who has been Insimmed to her YA age. On the plus side, she may have recessive genetics. On the minus side, she's dead broke. Will have no incumbant job. And has absolutely no skill points.
Dante gets straight to the point, but apparently Miranda has at least a little bit of self-worth.
Oh sure, I could SELL all the extra shit that made the house worth what it was mortgaged for, but what's the fun in that? I get pretty pictures AND a sense of impending doom this way.
Miranda foolishly came back to have a real date with our hero.
I just wanted to show you actual proof that not only is he an asshole, but he's a picky asshole.
I don't know how picky Miranda is, but she likes blonde hair, so it's good enough.
(Funny story--her turn-off is underwear...)
I said we should be more serious if he wants to go to the next level with me!
You didn't.
He said yes!
You didn't.
Look, I have no money. I have two ways to get more money. One involves jumping jacks in front of this radio for several hours, and the other involves moving in a sucker.
He must have missed the part where I mentioned that Miranda will have no money.
At least Dante is extra smexy now? He should be able to get a promotion.
Having already exhausted the two fun things in his house, Dante turns to origami.
VROOOOOOOOOM
Okay, put the damn thing down now and go to work! You've been here for four days and have made no money and made no babies!
For some stupid reason, I decided to do chance cards instead of ignoring them.
...and it actually worked out for once!
You got promoted!
Oh boy, now I can maybe pay off a thousand dollars worth of debt. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've gotten laid?
Don't get cranky with me, I can wield lightning bolts! And flies!
Miranda brought over her sister. I figured, Dante's an asshole, Melissa also has brown hair, maybe there'll be some attraction...
Melissa is only pretending that she doesn't find Dante repulsive for her sister's sake.
Yeah, she's more interested in some random dude walking down the sidewalk than you. Better go inside with the one who does find you attractive.
Maybe now Dante will calm down.
However, this is a legacy and we need some damn offspring. POOF, you're an adult!
Miranda pisses me the hell off. I've complained many times that I am going to finish the entire Deline legacy without anyone having earned the camera reward and she just waltzes into a one-off wanting to be an Artist.
I had to change Dante out of his underwear before she would even touch him. I'd say Dante isn't the only one in this bedroom with ~issues~.
I had them try for baby, but it didn't work. :(
Oh boy, you are in for a world of disappointment if you are thinking he's gonna give you a ring.
Though...she just got an actress job, and plunges toilets. I think she's edging close to "perfect woman" territory.
However, Dante does have my favorite career outfit on! :D
Can we go 2 for 2?
Yes, we are going to be excited for $375! Keep in mind that Dante doesn't even have a television! He only got the stereo when I realized that Adventurers need a lot of body skill and that he couldn't yet do yoga.
Just to let you know where Dante stands on the idea of ~commitment~.
Don't you think that...we're young, still wanting to explore the world...and an open relationship is conducive to that?
Uh...no. If I thought that way, I wouldn't have asked you to commit to a relationship at all!
...oh.
The trying for baby worked, but now we can all see just WHY Miranda is turned off by Dante in his under...underoos.
Someone kicked over the trash can and Dante picked it up quickly...but there were roaches already!
...roaches?! ROACHES?!
Look, just spray them. It'll be okay. We caught them quickly.
R-roaches!
Fine. Just call the exterminator and go to bed then.
It took! *dances*
Apparently, freestyling is entertaining enough to raise your own fun bar!
Word.
Miranda, on the other hand, is really really excited by the idea of fitness.
And, in the end, the exterminator only cost them $30. If only real-life exterminators were so cheap!
Miranda is a smart, assertive woman...
...apparently off her game.
Oh, this is not her day.
I got demoted and I can't. stop. barfing!
It's too bad you lost $1000, maybe you could have afforded a television soon. :(
What, wasn't the bathtub fun enough?
I just realized that I am living in horrific debt with a guy who doesn't want to marry me...and I'm having his baby!
Welcome to the MOORE LEGACY!
Yes, we will see offspring before this update is over!
Miranda has resorted to flying paper airplanes. Dante has gotten promoted, though. Which means two things--paying off a little debt and finally buying a television!
...you've finally got a television and you sit there and watch the weather channel?
Second pop!
Miranda's on maternity leave and basically all she does is sleep and slowly work on the body points she needs to get the promotion above the career level she had been demoted from. Dante's nice enough to go to work every day and leave her breakfast first!
I realized that it was winter at their house! And I was playing right before Christmas!
Then I realized they are still dead broke, so see how festive the empty living room looks at the Moore house~
You'd think the shyness would override the ginormous asshole aspect in interpersonal relations, but apparently not!
Wait, what do you mean my sister is hot?
Hon, she looks just like you! You could be twins--
We're triplets...well, with Michael--
Well, that's my point!
Come on, you're not going to be mad about something that is a compliment to you--
I'm not mad, I'm--HAVING A BABY!
We're in Brazen Meadows. It's twins.
Okay, so on one of the updates for last generation, I commented that I was going to name these kids elf names because it sounded fun. We've got a boy with Miranda's eyes, brown hair, and fairly dark skin. His rolled name--Arthnír: Taken from arth (exalted) and nír (man). This is the only time I am probably going to use the accented í because I don't have a num pad on the laptop to do special characters with quickly. :P
I wasn't joking about the twins thing, by the way.
Another boy, with brown hair, medium-dark skin and...Miranda's mother's eyes. Which means Miranda doesn't have recessive eye genes and probably doesn't have recessive hair genes. CRAP.
His name is Brannion: Taken from brann (high) and ion (son). And I need to think up a contingency plan for genetic diversity.
They are still poor, but have plenty of space.
Helloooooo cheap cribs!
------------------------------------------
Yay round robin! Okay, a few things:
- I know playable sims were a no-no, but Miranda is worse than a townie because she came in with nothing. And I didn't want to just up and breed out the blonde hair just because Dante is a picky bastard. If her having kids is a problem in anyone's opinion, Dante is going to have at least one more baby-momma and I suppose you can vote your conscience in the poll.
- I'm not sure who comes after me in the rotation, but I'll give you the option of the offspring packed in their custom genetics, or default-arrific version. So don't worry about that at all. :) (ETA: Looks like it's teffielynne, so just let me know at some point how you want your future heir!)
I am going to try to get through my generation fairly quickly, because I am an impatient reader and was impatient waiting for my turn! XD
However, no matter how impatient you are, the next story update here will be my Randolph ISBI. Why? Because I've already played it. Have a happy Christmas, everybody, and I'll probably have another post for you in the next week or so. I have a lot of time off for the holidays for once!
