Mini update: Arianna is pregnant, Jasper and Juniper graduated Uni and will be starting their own legacies (Traditional for Jasper and Matriarchy for Juniper). Hero and Cato also graduated. Hero returned home to take over her father's Random legacy, while Cato started an Alphabet legacy. Hero married her Uni boyfriend and is pregnant. Lilith and Jace will not have more children, which makes Raine the future heir. She's currently a toddler and her sister Cassandra is a child.
That's all folks! I'm moving on to Smercury now, which is a town in which alien abductions are for real. My next post will be about them. Happy Simming!

Legacia Landing 5/26/19
Unfortunately, Lorelei died without getting that final promotion due to her becoming enemies with some random townie Luna brought home from work, who then caused her reputation to go down or spread rumors or something. Sigh. In any event, I was able to get her platinum before she died, so at least she got the platinum grave. Luna and Greg's fifth child, Seraphina, was born. Kier went off to Uni and returned to take over the legacy. He bought The Lucky Shack to pursue his LTW and met a townie there that he fell for. They had a couple dates and then got married. Her name is Arianna. At present, the twins are at Uni, Wren is a teen, and Sera is a child.
Over at Basil's place, the twins went off to Uni, while Basil finished his job hopping and got a job in Slacker for his LTW. I rolled to see which twin would be heir and it's going to be Hero. She will return and take over after Uni. She rolled "couple" for marital structure, so she'll need a spouse. Luckily, she's found a guy at Uni that she wants to get engaged to. I hope there won't be any family drama as he's one of the guys Hero's Aunt Lilith dated once upon a time.
Lilith and Jace finally did have a baby, a girl named Cassandra. She looks just like her father with blonde hair and blue eyes. They followed up with a second daughter (Raine) who is also blonde and blue-eyed. Not a lot of variety here. Lilith has decided that the youngest child will be heir. Since they might still have another child before getting too old, it remains to be seen who that will be. At moment, Cassie is a child and Raine is a baby.
Happy Simming!

Legacia Landing 5/21/19
A LOT has happened in Legacia Landing since my last post. Luna went off to Uni and met a guy she liked, Greg. They moved back to the homestead after Uni so that Luna could take over as heir. Greg has red hair and gray eyes; his LTW is Journalism. Luna's is Law Enforcement. Shortly after they took over, Basil moved out to Uni, leaving just Luna, Greg, Lorelei, Vasyl, and Lilith in the household. Luna and Greg got started on their family right away, having first a boy with black hair/gray eyes, then red-haired twins, one with gray eyes, one with green. Once Lilith also left for Uni, they had one more girl (also with red hair/gray eyes). The kids' names are: Kier, Jasper, Juniper, and Wren. Lorelei continued trying to pursue her career, finally having some success. Luna and Greg both moved up their respective career tracks relatively smoothly, though Luna has been abducted three times while trying to earn logic points. At the present time, Lorelei is an elder with maybe two days left and just one more promotion to permaplat, Vasyl has just passed away (having achieved his LTW of Graduating 3 Kids from College), Luna and Greg are about a week away from elderhood and have decided to have one more baby before they get too old, Kier (the heir) is a teen with the LTW to Have 5 Top Level Businesses, the twins Jasper and Juniper are also teens with LTW's for Slacker and Entertainment, respectively, and Wren is a child.
Meamwhile, Basil started his own legacy: a Random Legacy. I took the rules I found for TS4 and modified them for TS2. Basically, most things are decided at random, as you might expect. Basil rolled for "single parent", which means no spouse or significant other. He would be allowed to move in a mother long enough to have the child born, but I decided to go the alien route instead. Amazingly, he was abducted his second time trying and gave birth to twins who are the same age as his sister's twins. This was especially lucky, as he'd rolled for 2 children, so now that's done. I also decided that all heirs will be job hoppers for 10 jobs (switching jobs every time they get promoted or achieve the goal I set for non-traditional jobs). Once they finish 10 jobs this way, they can work on their job-related LTW, if any. Basil has currently completed 6 jobs, a mixture of traditional and non-traditional, and his twins are now teens. I have not rolled yet to see which will be heir, but their stats are as follows: the boy, Cato, is Pleasure/Knowledge and wants to top the Gamer career, and the girl, Hero, is Romance/Family and wants to top the Music career.
Lilith started a World Legacy, which just means she and all future heirs have to marry BV townies. Lilith also had the unfortunate (in my opinion) LTW of 50 Dream Dates. I wanted to get those out of the way before she settled down, so she spent her teen and college days dating constantly, followed by about a week of adulthood doing the same. I sent her on a vacation during her Senior year of Uni to find "Mr. Right". She went to Three Lakes and found a guy called Jace Fuchs, who she didn't have any particular attraction to, but she liked him better than the one other choice she had. I'm assuming that we're going for locals rather than other tourists. Anyway, once I finally got her LTW finished, I moved her guy in and they got married. They have yet, however, to produce an heir despite trying quite a few times. One of them has some fertility issues. In any event, I'm sure they'll get there in time.
That's all for now! Happy Simming!

Legacia Landing 5/14/19
The Legacias are off and running! Lorelei Legacia is the founder. Her college years were pretty uneventful. I had her check out all the guys she met and then let her decide who would be "the one". Btw, I randomly chose her zodiac sign of Leo, then assigned her the Romance aspiration based on a chart I have that divides the zodiacs up by aspiration. I randomly rolled for her secondary aspiration of Pleasure. This is how I'll be doing everyone's aspirations. Anyway, back to Uni. For a Romance sim, Lorelei sure took her time becoming romantic with anyone. On the first day she met most of the guys in her dorm and the llama mascot. The llama proceeded to call her every day after and almost every day he showed up to chat with her, sometimes at 3 in the morning while she was sleeping. It was a little stalker-ish honestly. Although she had bolts with several guys in her dorm, she mostly ignored them, making a few female friends instead. During the second semester of Junior year she finally chose someone...the llama mascot, who she no bolts with and whose face she had never seen. So that's what we went with.
After Uni I moved Lorelei into a randomly selected starter home (I put a selection of 10 different bin houses that cost under $20K into the neighborhood - she got the Bonny Bungalow) and moved Vasyl (llama mascot) in. He is neither the most handsome, nor the ugliest sim I've ever seen. He has black hair and gray eyes to go with her red hair/green eyes combo. His LTW is to Graduate 3 Kids from College. Lorelei's is to top Music. Btw, Vasyl is Family/Popularity. Lorelei was lucky enough to find her job on the first day; I left Vasyl jobless so he could care for the children. Unfortunately, the day after Lorelei got pregnant with their first child, she was fired due to a bad chance card.
I didn't really expect them to get married (Romance sim!) but during a date Lorelei rolled up the want for marriage and I locked it in. Since she had her days free, being out of work and pregnant, they tied the knot in a very simple ceremony because funds were getting pretty low. Just after their first child Luna was born, Lorelei found a job in Music again. She has been plagued continuously by bad chance cards and has been demoted several times. It doesn't help that she's only able to go to work one or two days before taking time off for maternity leave, but I wanted to get the kids out of the way quickly. Their second child was a boy named Basil and the third a girl named Lilith. All three kids have Vasyl's black hair and Lorelei's green eyes.
At this point in time, Lorelei is a Record Store Clerk, they scraped up enough money from promotions to build a small third bedroom and relocate the bathroom, and the kids are aged teen, child, and toddler. Lorelei and Vasyl will be elders in 10 days and they have a whopping $1194 in the bank. Hopefully things will start looking up as we play forward. That's all for now. Happy Simming!

Legacia Landing 5/12/19
This is an idea I've been toying with for a while, but since it's very similar to how I play anyway, I was searching for a way to make it different and unique. So this is what I've come up with so far. I will make a neighborhood that is all legacies, so that there are no spares because spares will become founders of their own legacy. To keep things interesting I'll be randomizing what type of legacy each new founder starts. My list is as follows:
1) Adoptacy
2) Alphabet
3) Matriarchy/Patriarchy
4) Prettacy/Uglacy
5) Rainbow
6) Random
7) Supernatural
8) World
9) Genacy
10) Traditional
Now I know there are many other variations that I could use, some of which I'm doing in other 'hoods right now, but I decided to keep it at these 10 for simplicity's sake and because most of these I haven't tried before. I will, however, be making some changes to the core Legacy rules for this 'hood. Firstly, there will be no lawn living. I have many neighborhoods that revolve around building and I'd rather not have to deal with that here. Instead I will give each founder a starter home for them to do with what they will as funds allow. Secondly, I will be allowing playables to marry in primarily because it just makes sense since all playables will be born in game (besides the original founder, of course) and part of a legacy already. Townie marriages will still be allowed as well. Finally, and perhaps most controversial, I will allow all children, regardless of bloodline, to be eligible for heirship. I've observed the natural children only rule throughout many a legacy, but it's always bothered me. Blood doesn't make family, love does.
I will begin with a single founder in Uni. He/she will have the last name Legacia. This first legacy will be Traditional, but future legacies will be randomly rolled for. Since I'm a fanatic about aging and keeping everyone in sync, I'll play one day for each household, followed by one year of Uni. I will probably send all teens to Uni, even though I hate it, because it's the best way to find potential spouses. Probably Lifetime Wants will figure in heavily. Apart from that and the structures of the individual variants, I'll likely let my sims plot their own courses in life. Not sure yet what type of storytelling (if any) will occur, nor what my plan is for reaching the end of a particular legacy. Definitely there will be no scoring. And that's pretty much it.
Next post will be the first one for the Legacias. Happy Simming!

Mole/Wirth Legacy 5/12/19
This is the final update for the Mole/Wirth Legacy for a bit. Let's jump right in. Not much to report on the Wirth side; they're moving pretty slowly. Iris and Brandon got jobs, got married, and are now expecting their first (and likely only) child. Noah, Todd, and Opal are all still alive, but retired now. I don't expect Noah and Todd to make it much past the baby's birth.
Over at the Moles' house, Cameron finally died of old age at 84. Both Bryan and Jade are now elders, Sage has graduated Uni (along with her cousin Lana) and moved in together with Lana (both are pursuing Entertainment), Jeremy is currently at Uni with his cousin Zane (they'll both move to the main house after graduation; Jeremy is the heir), and the twins Albert and Amber are nearly teens. Lee and Lena are also elders, Austin and Melissa had a second son, Dallas, and are expecting a third child, Dylan and Willow have no children. Brady and his wife Joanne have one son, Parker, who is a child. Living with them are Asher (Noah's son, Iris' brother, Brady's second cousin) and his fiancé Tracy.
That's it then. I am planning to make a new 'hood that will be all legacies and that's what I'll be working on next. New post about that to follow. Happy simming!

Mole/Wirth Legacy 5/7/19
Another long update. All the third generation kids are now adults. On the Wirth side, Iris went to college, where she fell in love with her second cousin Brandon. Neither of their fathers is keen on the relationship, but they don't care. Upon graduation, she and Brandon moved back to the Wirth house just in time for Edith to die suddenly and Asher to leave for Uni. Iris is planning to go into Journalism and Brandon wants to be in Architecture.
Over on the Mole side, Austin finished college, moved in with his brother Lee, and married Melissa. Dylan skipped college, also moved in with Lee to pursue a career in Entertainment, met and married a townie named Willow. At this point in time, Lee and Lena have a daughter Lana, and Austin and Melissa have a son Zane, both of whom are children. Brandon, as mentioned above has moved in with his second cousin Iris. His twin Brady was going to move back into the main house with his girlfriend Joanne (a former BV teen who lived with them as an "exchange student" for a while), however there ended up not being enough room for them. Since Kitty died of a terminal illness (old age) when the twins were still at Uni I thought it would be a good idea to move Brady and Joanne back to keep the kid count for Bryan and Jade down a bit. In the meantime, I let Bryan and Jade get pregnant with their third child. Their first child was a girl, Sage, and their second a boy, Jeremy. To my surprise, when trying to move Brady and Joanne in I got a message that the house was too full, even though there should have been room, meaning that Jade was pregnant with twins. Sigh. They ended up being boy/girl, Albert and Amber. So Brady and Joanne had to move into their own house. At least Bryan and Jade are too old to have more children. I am a little disappointed though that none of the four kids ended up with Jade's green skin and all of them have giant alien/human eyes which look so creepy to me. Up to this point, I've been picking the oldest child as heir, but in this case I think I'll pick whichever one looks least creepy as an adult.
That's all for now. Happy Simming!
