Short and Sweet Legacy

Hi, everyone! 

I've been having some of the most fun playing with my current household and I just wanted to share some of my favorite game play moments in one thread. I gave myself a few rules to make it more realistic, allowing me to change up how I play. 

Rules:

  • I have to play on short lifespan.
  • If I purchase anything from Build/Buy mode, I have to wait until the next day to actually place it on the lot, or after they come back from traveling to a different lot. 
  • The sims have to clean up their own dishes and trash. (No clicking and dragging.)
  • I must play each sim with their traits, skills, likes, and dislikes in mind. (When each decision is based on the sim's character, it gives them so much more life!)

THE SUTHERLANDS

This is Brynlee. She dabbles in art and works at a studio, but she dreams of becoming a successful actress. She volunteers at the Del Sol Valley local theater where she will be performing on stage for the first time very soon. “The Sol” is the place where many movie stars have launched their careers, and Bryn hopes to be at the top of the A-list!

Traits: Outgoing, Active, Self-Absorbed
Aspiration: Master Actress
Career: Actress

She lives with her brother Cole, who just came home from college, and her elderly dad Declan.

Cole is trying to figure out which path he wants to take with his tech skills.

Traits: Non-Committal, Adventurous, Geek
Aspiration: Computer Whiz
Career: Freelance Programmer

Declan may be a retired explorer, but he’s still finding treasure in his own backyard.

    I hope that your legacy challenge goes well 🙂 It was great to read the background details of the family.

    Thank you! I'm still having fun so far! It's a lot different knowing I don't have much time with them, so I'm trying to make the most of their sim lives 😁

    Declan talks to Bryn and Cole about their futures and the importance of hard work. He may not understand Bryn's passion for acting or how Cole intends to make a living off the internet...but at least he's trying to be supportive.

    For now, Cole's freelancing by building websites for gamer influencers. And living off his waffle maker just like his dorm days. But the waffles aren't the only thing that remind him of his college days. He can't stomach the electronica station anymore. It just reminds him of her...

  • Being inspired by the gaming community, Cole officially started his own channel introducing TheColeMiner.

    I hope that Cole’s gaming channel goes well 🙂 Declan is a supportive father with Bryn and Cole’s interests which differ from his, as well as being caring to encourage them to keep putting in hard work.

    Thank you! I was surprised about how many followers he gained through streaming. I hope to do a lot of fun things with his career. Yes, Declan is trying to be understanding, especially when it comes to Cole because he has no clue when it comes to all that techy stuff 😁
