Chapter 1 of my second attempt at an Alternate Universe Legacy

1. Puttin on the Ritz
An Alternate Universe Legacy Challenge
Chapter 1

2. Yep, I’m at it again. I lost my first alternate
universe legacy when the old laptop just
couldn’t handle it anymore. Yeah I know. I’ve
got other challenges, but I just couldn’t help
starting another one of these.
So let’s meet the first of our identical
founders and see how different things get.

3. Step 1: Meet Jason A. Ritz. Jason here is a Knowledge Sim with the LTW of becoming a Media Magnate. Totally fine and doable,
well in most normal hoods anyway. But, Jason here is living in a version of Mysterious Falls with the following rules:
1. Sims must meet their spouse through the gypsy matchmaker. She’s got some kind of deal I guess.
2. Sims with the highest interest level in Entertainment will become heir/heiress. In case of tie child with highest playful score wins.
3. Sims in important houses like this one NEVER work for themselves. This means they must always hire a service sim to fix
something broken or buy a new one, they may never take a job, they can’t paint, play for tips etc. They want money? Someone else
not of the bloodline earns it for them.
4. Sims moved in to earn money for the Ritz’ family can only be controlled to give a command. I can never look at their want or need
panel.

4. Step 2: Alright then. Greet the welcome wagon
and begin giving interviews to find perfect
candidates to earn money for the family.

5. Step 3: Read the newspaper and sadly be
unable to take dream job due to certain
“rules”

6. Step 4: Go to community lots in town to
get a hotdog/ meet more applicants for live
in servant position.

7. Step 5: Hire Gypsy matchmaker and give her
nearly every cent of money you have left to find
you a spouse. Cross fingers for someone good.

8. Step 6: Wonder if you are gonna end up
with a plague of ugly when Carmen Patch
is chosen to be your first legacy spouse.

9. Step 7: Have a good first date with
selected spouse. Be annoyed at lack of
date gifts.

10. Step 8: Decide Benjamin is a very strong
candidate for becoming the first live in steward.
Yeah steward sounds important. Let’s go with that.

11. Step 9: Become best friends with chosen spouse.Be
disappointed that no date rewards were given again. Cause
it’s the land of always winter here and well only the bed is
inside.

12. Step 10: After needing to be thawed out by
mailman propose marriage to Carmen hoping she
moves in with money. Cause we need money.

13. Step 11: Have quick move in and get
13K..Hooray! Watch Benjamin dart off
before you can move him in too. Drats.

14. Step 12: Get married before renovations. Apologize to
readers for plumbobs in pics…new computer won’t let me
use the tab key without doing weird wonky things. No clue
why.

15. Step 13: With spouse’s money build
groovy little shack and get started on
making babies.

16. Step 14: Discuss things like
strange chimes at dinner.

17. Step 15: Thank plumbob for
makeovers.

18. Step 16: Build a snowman.

19. Step 17: Play in the tub like
a pirate.

20. Step 18: Paint for FUN
only.

21. Step 19: Fall asleep while pregnant
because you stayed up way too long.

22. Step 20: Discover husband is right
building snowmen is really fun.

23. Step 21: Clean the bathroom yourself
because family friend’s are always at work
working apparently.

24. Step 22: Realize now that you’re writing
this Carmen’s face is a little scary in this
pic.

25. Step 23: Be completely useless when
spouse goes into labor in the tiny
bathroom.

26. Step 24: Meet baby Kira Ritz. End rotation
and head over to Mysterious Falls B.

27. Transport sounds activate!

28. Step 25: Meet Jason B. Ritz.
Jason is a Pleasure sim who wants to top the Gamer career.
After much pleading allow him to take career if it comes up.
Course he must promise they are non electronic games.

29. Step 26: Rules of Mysterious Falls B
1. Spouse must come from a well drop. No service sims hired here.
2. If stuff breaks you must fix it yourself. Everyone in the bloodline must
earn their own money.
3. We are living behind the times. No electronics ever.
4. Heirs are the sim child with the highest interest in work or the child with
the most serious points.

30. Step 27: Head to approved community lot
and play pool. Decide you want one for the
house someday.

31. Step 28: After lots of digging up your
lawn/selling the stuff meet spouse Marisa
Shahan. Be reminded of Ocean and nearly
cry.

32. Step 29: Be grateful for slightly
better genetics to start out with.

33. Step 30: Work as a Barista for extra
cash while waiting for job to come up.

34. Step 31: Remember to actually take a pic
of early starter house in Mysterious Falls
B.

35. Step 32: Marisa is pregnant.

36. Step 33: Play with the only fun thing on your lot.
Yeah playful pleasure sim living behind the
times…I’m wicked.

37. Step 34: Fall asleep while
pregnant. Get sense of deja vu.

38. Step 35: More deja vu.

39. Step 36: Be giddy spouse
can do Tai Chi!

40. Step 37: Tell Inappropriate
jokes on the lawn.

41. Step 38: Be useless as wife’s
head is impaled on the cabin wall.
