Giocopoly: Generation 1 Chapter 1
1.1 | -> 1.2
Archive
Hello all! This is the first installment of the Gioco Legacy, this challenge is based on the Board Game Challenge by simppl_life. Now, before we jump right into this story I wanted to put a couple things out there. Starting with, I don't have all the expansions this challenge calls for, so I'm going to have to adapt a few things to make it work, hopefully I can. I'm not too concerned... at least until generations six and seven...but we will cross that bridge when we get to it and I'm open for suggestions! Secondly, I'm admittedly lazy sometimes...a lot of the time, especially when I game, unless I absolutely have to, you probably won't see my user interface within the game, why? Because that requires copy/paste/crop/remembering when the heck this took place in the timeline, and this is meant to be fun, not a chore. Thirdly, right away you will see drastic change in screencap quality. Why? Because I totally tweaked my game options to make them better then when I first started, go me for being so slow. But anyways, onto more important things!!
Checklist before getting started........
○ Standard legacy rules...
If we mean "standard" as in the ones I usually use, then check! I am using my adapted legacy rules to play, because I like them.
○ Have a creative naming scheme having to do with the challenge...
CHECK! My theme? Video games. That's sort of related right? It counts? >_> I say it does! So all members will be named after the video game characters in my favorite games.
Bonus points if you can tell me the games each of the people are named after...we can make it a side game okay?
○ Each generations color must be represented somehow...
Check...hopefully, I chose clothing to be the marker. Um my CC arsenal is a little low, so I have a feeling I'll be shopping as I'm playing...a lot.
Mmkays, that's everything! So let's look at this generations rules!
Mediterranean Avenue & Baltic Avenue
Generation 1: Purple
LIFE
- What better way to start out on your sim's life journey than with The Game of Life? But, unfortunately for you, life is hard, and this first generation will be no exception. Your sim may only enter one of the five careers that are on the original Life board: doctor, journalist, lawyer, teacher, or physicist. They may never quit or change professions (but they may retire), and if they are fired you must get them back into that profession as soon as possible. Spouses and children may not be employed.
- You MUST send your sims on a honeymoon as soon after their wedding as possible. If you have to sell the couch and microwave to afford the airfare, so be it.
- In The Game of Life, players receive a large chunk of money after the birth of each of their children. Well, real life isn't like that, and for the purposes of this challenge, neither is life in the sims. Kids COST money. A LOT of money. So after the birth of every child, you must SUBTRACT $1,000 dollars from your sims' household. You may do this via cheats, or by buying one or two expensive decorative objects that you MAY NOT SELL until the next generation takes over. Now just hope you don't go bankrupt.
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was....to age them is my real test, to not kill them is my cause!
Also, fair warning, I'm weird, I may cuss, and my Sims may have arguments with me.
Just don't think I'm too crazy, other people seem to do it to darn it!
Purple Generation / Legacy Founder
Helba Gioco
{Name that game round 1: Helba}[Spoiler (click to open)]
.hack//
Did you win?
Here's a slightly better picture of our pretty founder.
Ignore that fact that fangirlism has practically thrown up all over her.
Helba: Um...what did what to me?
Here's Helba's little tiny craptastic house. Being weird and forgetful I stuck her on a normal legacy lot...I should have gone smaller...
Helba: Wait? I could have had a better house? This is crap. I demand a replay!
No! You've already gotten too far in, shut up and go find a job!
Helba: Fine!
Now lucky for her like the only job my game has that fits into the ones she can get shows up, medicine here she comes!
Helba: You mean...I don't get to be a dancer?
Helba, despite being mean to me, greets her neighbors pretty nicely.
WHOA! Drastic quality change! Awesome right? Ahem, now that my new to screencapping sims has been revealed, here she is studying, don't mind her.
After a promotion and too much studying, I give her a break and send her to the bar...hunting for a husband.
Helba:Wait...I'm here to work? Damn...
She's not a very good smustler...
So she found a potential mate, Von Tepes by SilantWandere of TSR.
She brings him to the bar and...I totally got distracted by the creeper old Mrs. Crumplebottom giving "the eyes" to Helba.
Yo dude, I'd totally make you an old dude to abuse, but you're a serious bitch and I don't think I could.
Oh and by the way, Von disappeared while I was distracted. So much for that...
So what do we do? We call in the professionals!
Helba has like crap for money, but I don't care, I want babies and I want them yesterday!
Helba: I fear my biological clock is going to explode if I don't have a child, and soon.
Hey, I think she's starting to understand. I might not allow her to explode, but I might let her catch the house on fire, that'll teach her, if it doesn't kill her.
The shiny! It sees all, it knows all, it was ripped off Edward!
>_> -holds hand out-
Bad joke, I know, hit me, I deserve it.
Hey! It's Juan! <3
Okay so background here, my first ever Legacy, I used him as my lover boy and he was so great. So this is promising!
Very promising!
Okay maybe not....
Her lips say "yes yes!" but her eyes say "dear god what the hell is happening?!"
And I should mention they are in the bathroom...good job Romeo....
Aww but look! She got a card! She looks slightly happy about it.
And I might add, first ever card, I always get flowers. So cute!
Okay so Juan didn't pan out, back to the matchmaker!
.......
Aw man, it's Solomon....
I made a bunch of townies when I first started the neighborhood and this happens to be one. I can't control him, he is a townie...but I made him...
Can I keep him?
Helba says yes...I say....I dunno, don't get attached.
Stop that! I said not to get attached!
Stop kissing the card he gave you!
Stop it!
Meanwhile...inside the house...
Why is she violating my fridge? I swear to god if you break it I'll break your data!
Don't test me chicky!
-___- my Sims suck at listening to me, I said STOP IT!!!
So after I pried Helba away from Solomon I sent her back to the club to prowl, I mean dance, and she meets Hera Legacy.
Hera is pretty much the guardian of my spare lot, I think she's pretty, but Helba needs a man.
And here we are again....Stop that....
