Lost Legacies Gameplay Thread (Ending March 16)

It was great that the Royal Envoy arrived wearing a style influencer trend that Noelle had made! 🙂It was nice that he played the chess match with his friend to prepare for the match against the Royal Envoy, and also talked to his cousin about Princess Cordelia. It was great that the event led  him to enjoy spending time with them at the same time as doing the tasks. Congratulations to him winning the chess match against the envoy! 🙂

He was happy when he found the hidden code, but then looks quite disappointed to find the empty box when searching the bench  🙁

Charles is also in on the hunt, but this time bested. 

It was great reading about how Charles is going as he does the challenge 🙂It wasn’t so good that the Royal Envoy came to watch the him whilst the family was enjoying family time out at the skating rink! He was surprised that he beat her at chess! It was good that Candice has studied Princess Cordelia at the University course and  could fill him more about details of her life. It would have been very cold for him searching the bench in the Wintery blizzard weather ❄️
Congratulations also to Candice on her promotion and happy birthday to Sandy! 🎂

I love how detailed your replies are! They are always a pleasure to read. Thank you! 

My original post was removed. I don't know why, so I'm just going to share screenshots and hope they go through. Sorry. 

It is good that they have completed this week’s tasks and have 4 keys 🙂 They are great photos of your sim wearing the new reward eye patch!  The new stained glass windows reward is very nice. The swatches are lovely.
It wasn’t so good that Marina climbed up into the treehouse to try to find the family! The kids are sweet ❤️ It is a lovely photo of the couple enjoying playing chess outdoors in preparation of trying to beat Marina. Marina looks quite annoyed as she storms off after being beaten! 

Farrah let Arthur sleep in, and while she was in her garden, she saw her friend Marina Corsair walking by. The conversation was going great until she mentioned the Thebe family, at which point Marina did what she so often does: making cryptic comments and disappearing.

Farrah played a little chess in the game room, then went upstairs to their office to do a little research about Cordelia. By this time, Arthur was awake, practicing his writing. Farrah suggested that they visit his old neighborhood, Willow Creek, and specifically visit Magnolia Blossom Park.

Once there, they encountered Marina, who was sitting at one of the chess tables. Just then, Farrah's phone reminded her that it was time for work, and she rushed off. Arthur apologized to Marina on Farrah's behalf, and suggested that he could play a game with Marina, even if he wasn't as good a chess player as Farrah.

Marina tried everything to distract Arthur, including some pretty blatant flirting. Arthur, still thinking of Farrah, hardly noticed. When Arthur won the game, Marina again made cryptic comments and stormed off.

 Since Arthur was in Willow Creek, he decided to drop by to visit his family (sister Gladys, holding baby brother Richard; mother Genevieve, holding toddler sister Kenya; and niece Charity). While there, he saw something interesting on the TV news channel. He quickly called Marina on the phone. Hmm... He'd have to look into this. He quickly said his goodbyes and went to the Municipal Muses Museum.

At the museum, he didn't see anything unusual about any of the paintings, and realized that Marina had been distracting him from the real secret. Downstairs, he examined the bust of Princess Cordelia. Sure enough... He quickly called Marina again. Her gloating led him to the benches outside the museum.

Sure enough, Marina had already used the hidden code from the statue, and there was nothing left to find at the benches. Arthur hadn't gotten much writing done today, but he felt oddly satisfied at his progress unwinding the mystery. Besides, Farrah would be home from work soon, and he could tell her all about his day... after he placed the fourth key in the display table.

It was great that Arthur was able to complete the tasks for the event and get the fourth key 🙂The keys look great in the display cabinet. It was nice that he was visiting and spending time with his family when he watched the news channel.The family photo is lovely ❤️The young children are sweet.

I don't have an actual update with pictures, but I can summarize what's been going on. My Sim, 16-year-old Erik Cantrell is the one running around and seeking the clues. All of this while he attempts to digest the fact that he's a royal. He grew up without this knowledge because his father, the Heir to the Throne, wanted him to enjoy his childhood. His had not been easy, but he did make certain his children's births were all duly registered so that their titles existed. (There is such a thing as if the title isn't passed down, it's lost.) So, while Erik's busy building his music career on the one hand, he's also dutifully learning how to fence, shoot an arrow without it coming un-nocked and landing on the ground, and doing his best to remain as humble as a teen can be with all of this on his plate. He managed to have time to record enough of his own music to create an album, which he just released. He's now a B-lister on the fame roster. Being an early graduate helps. And he's earned all of the rewards, to date.
