Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. I've decided to make a new thread for my legacy. I've had two threads in the past, one original and one added when I split my legacy households into two different saves. Here they are if you want to take a look:https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/915676/the-selnes-family/p1https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/926878/the-justoy-legacy-the-sims-4/p1There are four households in total, and they're all descendants of the same founder couple I made when The Sims 4 came out. I've been playing them for 16 generations now. Below is a link to the family tree. It doesn't have absolutely everyone because I made it around generation 12 and didn't include all siblings and such up until that point.https://theplumtreeapp.com/trees/5b1d6894323b07000f0cd8c5https://i.imgur.com/HIOxlXO.pngThe reason I'm making a new story thread now is because I want to gather them all back into one place and do things a bit differently. For real life reasons I want to spend a little less time writing their stories going forward. But I still want to have a space to sort my gameplay into a narrative, mostly for myself. If someone else enjoys it too, that's a nice bonus. This is not going to be very detailed and it won't be great literature. Hopefully it will be regular updates about how my sims are doing and what the current generation is up to.Over the next four posts I'll introduce the households with a little history and the current state of things.

The Goth Krämer householdThe current main sim in this branch is Rosalin Goth Krämer.https://i.imgur.com/hU9Cw4Y.pngShe grew up in Willow Creek, where her grandfather had married into the Goth-family. She lived with her father Edvard, her mother Agathe, her two siblings Margrete and Johannes and Werther the yorkie.https://i.imgur.com/o8oOMng.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/rdcz6nz.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/uyZXl66.pngRosalin and Margrete went to Ubrite together when they became young adults. Margrete studied acting, and Rosalin studied history.https://i.imgur.com/SOOPIrr.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/OS2xhYy.pngMargrete now lives in Windenburg, and Rosalin has moved into an apartment in Connifer Station, Evergreen Harbour.

The Moon Selnes householdThe current main sim in this branch is Meriam Moon Selnes. https://i.imgur.com/Kf8CF1d.pngShe comes from a family of celebrities. She grew up in the fanciest Uptown apartment in San Myshuno, with her two mothers Ylva Selnes and Titania Bailey-Moon. Ylva is a fashion icon and Titania a well known archaeology professor. They have a butler, and the apartment is always full of famous friends and family who come visit.

With their parents' money they have bought a large townhouse in Britechester, and are renting out the rest of the rooms to three roommates. They have a lot of parties, and Meriam has a lot of love interests.https://i.imgur.com/aWE02zX.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Af6sxbU.pngMeriam wants to become a private attorney and get a nice house of her own somewhere. She also loves writing and is dreaming of getting her poetry published.

The Justøy householdThe current main sim in this branch is Gabriel Justøy.https://i.imgur.com/VLdNn94.pngHe was born in Britechester, but since his dad graduated and became a marine biologist he's lived right next to the volcano in Sulani. His biological mother is Lilith Pleasant, who his father had a brief affair with while at Uni. She didn't see herself as a mother, so he's been raised by his father Alfred and stepmother Becca. He has two half sisters, the twins Vera and Benedikte. https://i.imgur.com/gR3nx25.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/pJe6x1m.pngWhen he became a young adult, he moved into the old off-the-grid shipwreck and started fishing, diving, gardening, woodworking and so on. https://i.imgur.com/ii8ZaHP.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/A4bK5Xt.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/ReAkhlR.pngHis girlfriend Arihi has now moved in, she is a freelance crafter and makes candles and fizzy juices. They have a labrador retriever called Kalle, and Arihi is expecting a baby. They want to slowly improve the property and make it more family friendly, and they just went to the huge step of tearing away the ship wreck to start building an actual house instead. They still live off the grid, but they have some power and water now thanks to solar panels and dew collectors.https://i.imgur.com/FQ49IDL.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/KKOccxE.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/A7oHNBK.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/H4L6KEk.png(I'm not a builder, as you might tell...)

The Lin Justøy householdThe current main sim in this branch is Aksel Benali Justøy.https://i.imgur.com/mOOoeQE.pngHe grew up in Brindleton Bay with his scientist mother Evelina, younger sister Selina and lots of cats. His father has pretty much been out of the picture since his parents divorced way back. He and his wife Zora Lin, who he's been dating since they were teens, both went to Foxbury and have distinguished degrees. He studied physics and became a mechanical engineer, she studied computer science and became a computer engineer.https://i.imgur.com/RM9XIKA.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/gQ2sCNj.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Vn7XZmr.pngSince the second half of their degrees they've been living in a tiny home in Newcrest. They have a small garden out back, and spend a lot of time outdoors. Whenever they need to work on robotics, they go to the local library. They have two kids now, Kjersti and Viktor.https://i.imgur.com/fHbRiGd.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/t4IHPJu.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Hv96emz.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/d83S8Bn.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/6dseCje.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/HDCej3s.pngThis house is getting quite crowded with the kids growing up, so it will soon be time to move out and find a bigger place. They're considering moving back to Brindleton to live with Aksel's mother in his childhood home.

Lin JustøyAksel and his family has moved to Brindleton Bay and joined grandma in the seaside manor. They've made some changes to the house to make it run on more green energy, and they've renovated parts of the interior. There's a brand new kitchen, a new garden section on the balcony and a lot of new windows. The children have a bedroom each now, and it's a huge change for them to move here from the tiny home. https://i.imgur.com/1yVdX1d.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/a1NjDJc.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/cvMH5Q6.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/nW0gxBW.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/tP9V6EE.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/eUwGv1o.pngAksel has quit his job as a mechanical engineer and become a green technician instead, and is fabricating eco upgrade parts for green upgrades to all the house appliances. Grandma Evelina still has lots of cats, and they still do whatever they want.

Selnes

Meriam is living her Ubrite days in the spirit of serial romance and hard partying. House parties, keg parties, boyfriends, girlfriends, flings, breakups. Never a dull moment.

Despite her obvious efforts to ruin her academic progress, she's doing very well with a GPA of A. She's also writing poetry whenever she has has some time to spare.

https://i.imgur.com/EjKd066.png
https://i.imgur.com/UM4DF2L.png

She's in her very last semester now, graduation is coming up soon. She knows she wants to become a lawyer and write poetry on the side, but she has no plans for where to live. Should she stay in Brindleton, move back to San Myshuno, settle close to her extended family in Del Sol or something completely different? And does she want a family or not? She has a lot of decisions to make.

Goth Krämer

Rosalin and Sofian had their baby, and it didn't take long before Rosalin was pregnant again... and again. They now have three boys in their small apartment: Matias, Eilert and August Krämer. Meanwhile, their neighborhood has changed a lot since the Green Initiatives and Modern Development NAPs were implemented.

Rosalin just got promoted to a level 10 judge, and Sofian will be graduating very soon and be able to work full time. So they should be able to buy a bigger house soon! They also haven't had time to get married yet, but they have plans for a spring wedding.

Selnes

After a graduation accompanied by one last breakup and one last party in the townhouse, Meriam was ready for her law career. But it turned out that her one last fling with Rohan, her neighbor and go-to no strings woohoo partner during her time in Britechester, had made her pregnant.

https://i.imgur.com/VzAgzZt.png
https://i.imgur.com/E1YdLXn.png
https://i.imgur.com/nKn1PaP.png
https://i.imgur.com/CkMdEV8.png

Settling down with Rohan was not an option, so she decided to move back to San Myshuno and be close to her mothers while raising this baby. She has enough money to get a nice, big apartment in Uptown, so she's literally their neighbor now. Her mothers are old though, so there's no certainty as to how long they'll be around and be able to help her. But upon moving back she has reconnected with her high school sweetheart, Quentin Harp.

https://i.imgur.com/E3ARAYz.png

https://i.imgur.com/c7WscJy.png

He has fallen right back in love with her and is ready to be there and be a family. And when it turned out her pregnancy resulted in TWINS, she immediately proposed to him almost out of desperation.

https://i.imgur.com/wOlDczO.png

So now she's engaged and is going to do her best raising little Marlon and Tyra Moon Selnes in a responsible way while also following her dream of making a name for herself both in law and in poetry.

This is so lovely!! I really admire your ability to track story line and, keep screenshots! you write very nice summaries of the stories in your gameplay. So inspiring. I asked you a question in the family tree pic you have in your profile before I realised that you had this thread, sorry for not asking it here!

Thank you @mingusssss! I answered your questions under the tree picture. I'm glad you like the updates! It's taking me some time to update now, because I've been on summer vacation and I'm a bit hooked on another game atm :smile: But there will be more for sure!
