The Legacy: Generation 3

Well, generation 3, Maya, grew up… in fact, she’s on the threshold of old age. She seems to have had a rather full life. Following in the footsteps of her late granny, the Legacy founder, who died when Maya was a baby, she entered the politics career track and reached the top.

In between she managed to have and sort of raise three kids (Sara, the heiress, Alicia and Yazid). She also managed to have a long-standing affair with Jan Lindahl, and two of those three kids are his!

She married Seth (I forget his original surname) and it’s a tribute to that man’s trust that he has never questioned why Maya produced two very pale kids when he is certainly not pale himself!

Generation 2, Yazid, finally died at 85. He was on a platinum high since mid-elderhood, so he was greeted by the Grim Reaper with a glass of fruit punch as two hula zombies danced for him. Somehow I don’t think he’ll be bored in heaven.

Anyway, his grandkids are gearing up to carry on the glorious Kassem legacy. Two are in teenage, and one is still a kiddie.

Tangled lives

Eternal City is getting too confusing for me now. I cannot keep track of who’s married to whom any more!

My first-born Legacy generation 3, Luc, was supposed to move in with the youngest Lindahl offspring, Vendela. But he fell for Laci Ying as well, and got her pregnant. As that was happening, Vendela was sneaking past Luc’s door, with a big bouquet of roses to thank him for a dream date, and she happened to peek in at the window (what a voyeur, I swear!).

Anyway, now Vendela walks by at periodic intervals knocking Luc’s trashcan over. I think she might ultimately settle for Xen Emon, and they might get married even.

I’d actually forgotten about the existence of the Emons… or the Anhels, which leaves poor Rehan doomed to be a child for ever! And I really have to play the Lindahls if I want to bring up Jan, who I intend to have a significant role to play in the production of Legacy generation 4 with Maya Kassem.

Another University graduate!

Aizel Anhel graduated college!

Well, all right, I cheated a bit—I used the motive decay cheat to freeze his motives. He spent all his time between classes building skills. As a result of which he has maxed out all but two skill sets.

He’s moved back to the Eternal City and his university lover Aiyana Phelps has moved in with him. She brought in a whole lot of money (close to 17,000 simoleons), so if you have a Sim getting friendly with her, I’d say go for it!

No bills for the Emons!

The Emon family’s letterbox has disappeared! I have no idea how—it was just gone one day. Maybe it’ll come back the next time I reload the game, but so far no other bugs have crept in because of it.

The two Emon kids—Zea and Xen (that’s pronounced Chen; Why? you ask. Well, I don’t know… I made up the name and decided it should be pronounced that way!)—are now teens. I managed to get them into private school, even though the headmaster (BJ Ryan this time) was such a stuck-up arsehole! I wonder if this private school business is more difficult in Nightlife.

Both the Emon parents want another kid, but I think it’ll be too boring to do the baby-toddler-child thing all over again, even though I can’t wait to use the custom baby content I downloaded!

Legacy: Generation 1

My Legacy is finally up and running!

The founder Sim, Sara Kassem, ended up being a single mother. Starting life very modestly with a mere 4,800 simoleons (which, of course, is part of the Legacy Challenge), she was unfortunately not able to make too much of herself.

She got engaged to Benjamin Long, but he was a two-timer. Sara came home one day to find him cosily slow-dancing with one of his townie friends! They had a fight, and he moved out.

She was pregnant and all alone, with very little money (that skinflint Benjamin brought just 800-odd bucks with him!). She gave birth to a son, Yazid.

Yazid is now a child. Sara is going to be an Elder in three days. After the fiasco with Benjamin, she is now in love with Joe Carr. I think they are even engaged, but she is hesitant to take the next step.

What happens next? I can’t wait!
