The Smith Legacy - My first legacy game

Little backstory before I introduce my founder: I mostly play TS4 for build, no gameplay at all. Last year I finally started to play a sim, Carmen Smith and after a while I decided to make her a founder and see how far down her lineage I could go. It's been over a year now and while I'm still not finished, I decided to write the story I played for each member. That's how I play the sims (when I'm not only building): I create a story for them as I play along.

So, here it goes, hope some of you like it.

The Smith Legacy

Carmen Smith story starts when she decides to leave the dusty Oasis Spring for the cosmopolitan San Myshuno. Her first apartment was the Culpepper House at Spice Market and her first job as a Media Intern. Art, diversity and new opportunities, she felt she could have it all!!

Carmen was always the life of the party and soon made many friends. In one of those parties she met Joaquin Le Chien (yeah, I know). They got along well and Joaquin wanted more than friendship, but Carmen had her sights on something else: she wanted was to work hard, climb all the steps in her career and leave love and its complications for later. Of course life is what happens while you make other plans…

One night after enjoying the Romance Festival, Carmen and Joaquin ended up together in a bush. And while no romance blossomed from this impromptu act, Carmen later found out she was expecting a baby!

That’s how Tatiana Smith was born. Carmen cherished her baby girl, all the while still working hard to achieve her dreams. It was not an easy time for sure, taking care of a young baby and working full time, but she made it work. As she rose to internet fame, money came in and they moved to the FountainView Penthouse in the Arts Quarter. Only then Carmen decided it was time to settle down.

She met Andreas Reich, a good-looking family oriented guy with similar goals to Carmen. He moved in once she saw the positive influence he had on Tatiana, who was growing from toddler to child. Soon after that Carmen got pregnant again and the family welcomed another baby girl, Yasmin Smith. Since Carmen was the one making the most simoleons, the couple decided that Andreas should be a stay-at-home dad and try to pursue his dream of becoming a successful writer.

Carmen achieved her dreams, and after that she retired, moved to a comfortable house in Willow Creek and dedicate her free time to herbalism and gardening. Andreas published a couple of books and took many hobbies, but his main achievement was being a stellar daddy to both Tatiana and Yasmin.

As for Tatiana and Yasmin? That’s another story…

    The Smith Legacy - Tatiana Warner, née Smith (Gen 2)

    Tatiana Smith was born a good, gentle soul. Sweet, charming and creative, Tati got along well with everybody and was always a pleasure to be around.

    As a child her passion was music. She often lost herself while playing the piano or simply singing in the shower. Encouraged by her stepfather Andreas, who loved the arts, she decided to go into a entertainment career. So she graduated, moved out of her family house and into a crummy place with 2 roommates, Marcus Warner and Etienne Hercule and started as an Amateur Entertainer.

    Tatiana’s personality made her popular with the boys and, not being shy, she had several flings. But she had a secret: Tati was in love with her roommate Etienne.

    Etienne and Marcus were close, tight friends, and she suspected that the reason Etienne never approached her was Marcus having strong feeling for her, and being very vocal about it, even if in a playful way. So yes, she was living that unfortunate love triangle: Marcus loves Tati who loves Etienne who loves Tati but doesn’t want to hurt his best friend. So she waited for the situation to sort itself out, hopefully…

    Yasmin, her younger sister, got older and started to hang out with Tati and her all of her friends. She also got along well with Tati's roommates and the four of them had a blast together. Yasmin was rebellious and all over the place with her many complicated romances, so it was no surprise when she announced she was pregnant, but refused to tell who the father was.

    Tatiana had her suspicions, but waited until the baby was born to confirm it. And the day she looked at the newborn it was clear: Etienne was the father of Yasmin’s baby.

    Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, Tatiana focused on her career until she reached the top: she became a Concert Virtuoso. She travelled around for awhile and when she finally came back home, Marcus surprised her by proposing to her.

    She knew that Etienne and Yasmin were not together, but Tatiana felt it was impossible for her to be with him…

    So she accepted Marcus proposal. He was getting great offers on his eSports Gamer Career, so both of them where in a good place. They got married, moved to Alto Apartments and soon they had a baby boy, Lucas, their only child.

    Many times in her life Tatiana felt she made a huge sacrifice by giving up on who she thought was her true love. But later on in her life, when she and Marcus retired and moved to a suburban house in Willow Creek, she realized she had made the right choice: they had build a loving life together. And for that she felt no regret.

    As for Yasmin and Etienne… I’ll leave that for next time.
