Kamio Play's | Chronically my sim adventures

As always I set off with grandiose plans of a classic legacy rags to riches story line with my sims working their way up from nothing. Key word being plans. And since when did anything ever go to plan in the sims?

Exactly three things surprised Elowyn (Elle) Sangrey in her life.

Elle’s entire life was mapped out. She knew exactly what her future looked like and what she wanted to do and when. Elle's greatest goal in life was to summit Mt Komeribi and she'd been training for that moment ever since she turned 15.

The first surprise was when she found herself falling in love with her academic rival Derick Staniland.

It turns out love and hate have more in common than thought. Elle and Derick fell for each other hard and fast.

Elle’s plans for life didn’t involve a serious relationship before she’d finished uni and felt established in her career.

It’s a funny thing love. Elle wasn’t surprised by how quickly the two declared their devotion or the promises whispered in the dark at prom to build a life together.

No, what surprised Elle was how easily those promises came, and how easy it was to let go of the tight control she needed over her life and rewrite her plans to include Derick.

After high school, Elle and Derik moved into a little apartment in Evergreen Harbour. The two lovers pooled their meagre funds and decided take a short holiday in Sulani before diving into university studies.

If the below picture gives you house of dragon vibes... Um, no they don’t.

…and if you are questioning my inspiration for these two sims... no you aren't and I have no idea who you are talking about.

The second surprise in Elle's life (and some people would argue the biggest)... is when she bought a lottery ticket based on a whim ...

AND WON!!!!!

Um excuse me what? I have never had a sim win the lottery.... ever! I always make my sims buy a ticket because I've always wanted it to happen. Then, the one time I actually DON'T want them to win (because lets face it there is something great about classic rags to riches game play, building up a sims family from nothing without cheats).... my sim wins a cool $1,000,000.

I have no words.

Is this how I planned for this legacy to go?
No.

Did I want my sims living in a big fancy house and not struggling right from the get go because the last legacy I played was a Royal Family Legacy Challenge with household funds costantly maxed out at $9,999,999?
No.

Did I immediately move Elle and Derick into the dream home I built as the end goal for this legacy anyway?
Yes. Yes I did.

It is a gorgeous 5 bedroom Georgian inspired mansion in the sun-soaked hills of Tartosa.

The house is just so dreamy.

I'll post more details about the house later. As to what the third surprise in Elle's life was? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.
