Well, my legacy story hasn't been going long. Most of my games were played like I did in Sims 1: Rotate from household to household but then I created a game with aging on, following one person through their life.
That person is Dan August; Friend of The World, regular guy. I settled him in to Streamlet Single in Foundry Cove, Willow Creek. He met the BFF's on the Welcome Wagon and read up on cooking, looked for a job and settled on the Business career. This is all Sims 4 101.
Late in the day he sees this young woman. She's beautiful...in fact she looks quite a lot like the young Shelley Long in Cheers. Dan's smitten and must meet her but she's walking on quickly and will soon be past the mysterious tree, the fishing spot and will soon disappear. Dan tries to run to meet her but Dennis Kim got in the way and that was that...she was gone. Now I could have "cheated" by putting a townie into a house and have Dan just spontaneously visit her but I thought I'd play out the dramatic possibilities of trying to find her. So that's what I did: Had him go to the gym, the park, the library, the nightclubs and bars and the museums. On day 4 he found her whilst he was grilling burgers down at the Willow Creek town centre. So Dan introduced himself to her, found out her name was Angela Prefect, and they got chatting...and chatting...and chatting! I let the game run and these guys wouldn't stop! It was clear; he liked her and she liked him. Game on!
So they dated, moved in together and eventually got married. They's so nice and lovely and goody-two shoes that there's barely any conflict but for a first generation, I'm happy with that. I can use a stable family to set things up nicely for future generations. Anyway they moved from Streamlet Single to Riverside Roost and they had a baby boy: George. He's now a child and the girls love him. He's always inviting a girl back to his house or is being invited by one on a playdate. He's also a talented artist and violinist. We'll see if his interest in girls continues into his teenage years....
And that's about it for now. Dan has worked himself up to be an investor at Dewey Cheatham and Howe and Angela now owns a fashion boutique.
