Simply put

C1.- just getting started

I've started this blogging thing in order to write my own Legacy family story. I'm quite new to the whole Sims publishing world, so forgive me if for the shaky start. I'm going to have to learn how to get my in-game pix loaded up here too. I just started my Legacy family a few weeks ago ( I know, I'm late for everything!!)


April 19, 2006

We begin the Legacy challenge with Thadeus Parker-Scott, a family Sim with little more than a bookshelf & a couch. Before he even put up walls, Thadeus bought himself a desk, a chair, a cheap computer and a phone. He got himself a job in the Army (they hire anybody!) and then called a cab to head downtown and troll for babes. He spent a fun afternoon meeting new people, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tubs and bowling (which he sucks at with zero body skill). Fortunately the 50’s diner makes a mean chef salad, because this guy doesn’t have any food at home. He flirted up a cute cowgirl and a bowling babe with pigtails forever, but no one really caught his eye.
Exhausted from his travels, he was grilling up some hotdogs for some new friends at the Museum when SHE walked in – Caryl Carlson, and they knew it was love at first (or second) sight. Tad was exhausted, but he got her number, promised to call the next day & grabbed a cab home for some much needed rest.
Tuesday, Tad proved himself an able recruit & got promoted, so he could afford a few more luxuries, he upgraded his bed and had himself a good nap. True to his word, he called Caryl that night for their first date. He knew his way around Sim Lanes, so they headed there for a fun evening of dining, dancing and a little first-date photo op. They were both crushing on each other and couldn’t get enough of the playing and flirting – isn’t that the fun of dating? He also learned that she was turned on by facial hair & cologne, so he stopped at the corner store on his way home for a little of the smelly stuff, and vowed not to shave.
Wednesday was a day off, so Tad used the time to build a few friendships whilst gathered around the Yummy Channel. (That shows just how cute this guy is because my VeronaVille playable sims usually wouldn’t sit still for a minute on a dilapidated loveseat, watching the Yummy channel on a small screen, out on a patch of grass.) Oddly enough, Caryl called him that very afternoon for an outing – he jumped at the opportunity to see his lady love again. I think she was testing the waters, because she brought along a few friends for security – I think at least 8 sims piled out of that cab. Fortunately, there were enough pinball machines and pool tables at the corner strip mall to keep everyone happy while Tad stole a few minutes alone with Caryl for a bit of flirting and smooching. Tad offered to cook up a plate of his famous hotdogs for the crowd and they had a good outing, not great, but Tad just had to use the potty & he didn’t really care what anyone but Caryl wanted. Tad hung around for a bit of slow dancing afterwards and made best friends with Caryl – after only 2 days – go figure.
Due to the time change between downtown and Tad’s house, he was able to go home, get a good nap, a quick shower, admire his recently grown ‘stash and goatee and still call Caryl out for their second date before it got too late to call. They headed for Landoste, where they wined and dined in style. Tad couldn’t help himself & popped the question half way through dinner. Caryl enthusiastically accepted his proposal (and the ring!) & after she finished her dinner, she was quite responsive to someveryclose slow dancing and hot making out. He invited her home and after a bit of woohoo (he had to sell back his computer to get a double bed), they married quietly in the front yard of their mostly empty 5X5 lot. They consummated their nuptials and Caryl’s now preggers with the first of the Parker-Scott progeny. Fortunately, Caryl arrived with a dowry, so they are able to put up some walls and lay a few floor tiles before the arrival of their first born.
Now, Tad wants to marry off 6 children and Caryl ($$) wants to be a Hall of Famer – but how will she ever get the chance to go to work if Tad won’t let her have a moments peace in the bedroom?? He better start earning some decent money to buy his lady love all the trinkets that she’s dreaming of…
