I Hart Space!
A joint legacy by Kristina and Roxy
Chapter 1: One Small Step
By Kristina
Welcome to our Legacy!
“I Hart Space” is a space-themed joint legacy written by Kristina (thinmintsim) and Roxy
(Taube). We hope to take our intrepid founder, Galaxy Hart, on an out-of-this-world
voyage to legacy stardom!
Speaking of Galaxy, here she is - and doesn’t she look completely confident and ready
to form the foundation of a powerful sim dynasty?
Well…she’s doing it anyway.
Rules
Before we get started, let’s do a check of the rules. Roxy and I have agreed to the
following terms:
Succession
Gender Law: Strict Matriarchy
Bloodline Law: Strict Traditional
Heir Law: Decide amongst ourselves
Kids
3 kids per generation (or until an eligible heiress
is born)
Switch when last born becomes a teen.
After settling Galaxy on her new,
expensive and very empty lot, the
first order of business is to buy some
furnishings. $1800 is not a lot to
work with, and I want to save for an
easel so that sweet painting money
can come rolling in. We end up
with just the bare essentials – a bed,
refrigerator, toilet and shower. We
have $340 left. An easel costs
$350. Of course.
Obviously, the procurement of
more money is a necessity, so
Galaxy uses her phone to take a
job in the Athletic career track. This
matches her traits and aspirations
well, but it doesn’t start for two
days.
Since she has some free time before work starts, Galaxy heads to the gym to take care
of some work and aspiration goals. After satisfying her want to work out in a public
gym, she spies something interesting . . .
Well hello, handsome!
It’s Jorge Romero, one of the
#legacyloves that I seeded the
neighborhood with.
Impressed by Jorge’s superior
genetics, Galaxy instantly turns
on her charm to lure him in.
Just kidding. She did this.
After getting over her initial shock, Galaxy pulls herself together and catches up to
Jorge outside for a little conversation. Things go well and she discovers that Jorge is
cheerful and family oriented. A legacy spouse dream!
Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to stick
around too long, so Galaxy heads
back into the gym after their chat and
works out until she achieves her
aspirational goal of working out for 8
hours. She also makes it to level 2 of
the fitness skill (which achieves the first
level of her “body builder” goal). Not
bad for one day’s work.
Side note: Don’t you love that low-
hygiene layer of grime she’s sporting?
After heading home, Galaxy wolfs
down a lonely and decidedly-not-
gourmet dinner of cereal, then calls
up Jorge to continue working on
their relationship. The faster I can
get him to move in, the faster we
can start earning more money with
two salaries.
A few hours of socializing later, Galaxy is able to discover that Jorge’s last trait is
romantic. We are now at the “best friend” level of friendship and all of that chatting
and joking has brought Galaxy up to level two in charisma. Honestly, this is probably
the most successful first day of a legacy I’ve ever had. It must have been written in the
stars! Get it? Because it’s a space-themed legacy? Never mind.
Since there’s still no work until tomorrow, Galaxy spends the next morning back at the
gym. She dutifully puts on her crazy-pumping-iron face and makes it to level 4 of the
fitness skill. To achieve her next aspirational goal, we need to buy 2 pieces of workout
equipment. Our household funds are still sitting at $340, so that’s not an option right
now.
So instead of athletics, Galaxy turns
her mind to romantic pursuits. A
steamy shower serves the dual
purpose of cleaning up from the
gym and putting her in a flirty mood.
You can tell because she keeps
striking sexy poses while waiting for
Jorge to show up.
She also strikes sexy poses when
Jorge arrives. He seems to like it,
so who am I to say Galaxy’s
incredibly awkward?
Once I start having Galaxy perform the romantic socials, things move incredibly quickly
for her and Jorge. It must have been the combination of her flirty mood and Jorge’s
romantic trait. In short order, we achieve Galaxy’s first kiss, and become boyfriend
and girlfriend.
And then, since things are going so well, I have Galaxy pop the question. Jorge
accepts, and then immediately leaves the lot because it was late. Not very romantic,
but successful nonetheless. This is the fastest I’ve been able to get a relationship to
grow – Galaxy and Jorge are soulmates despite only knowing each other for two days.
I’m learning that using moods and traits effectively can yield impressive results.
The next morning, Galaxy invites Jorge over first thing and they tie the knot in a very
private ceremony. We have no extra funds for wedding stuff, so this will have to do.
Maybe Galaxy and Jorge will be able to watch their children get married in more
traditional ceremonies one day. At this point, it was a struggle to pay for the new trash
can you can see in the distance.
Welcome Jorge!
With the exchange of vows, George joined the Hart household. Let’s learn a little more
about him!
Traits
-Cheerful
-Family oriented
-Romantic
Bonus Trait: alluring (romantic
interactions more likely to
succeed)
Age: Young Adult (same as
Galaxy)
Aspiration
Love aspiration – soulmate
The soulmate aspiration is all about having a
successful marriage – goals include having
romantic interactions and successful dates.
After they happy couple finished
their ceremony, Galaxy immediately
started doing pushups in the
driveway, because that’s a very
normal reaction to being a
newlywed.
Soon after that, she headed off to
her first day of work in the athletic
track (finally!) as a water person.
Jorge contributed no money to the
household funds when he moved in
(legacy rules prevent him from
doing so anyway). His soulmate
aspiration is not tied to any specific
career. Right away, I have him take
a job as a painter, since I figure
that selling paintings while building
his creativity skill will help with our
money situation.
Jorge needs creativity points for his career. Obviously there aren’t enough household
funds to purchase an easel. Since today is his day off, I have him head down to the art
museum to use their easel while Galaxy is at work. He completes an aesthetically
questionable llama picture, which he sells for a whopping $32. His second picture
also nets us $32.
Jorge’s first efforts at painting do
finally give the household enough
funds to buy an easel, which he
immediately uses to create more
llama artwork. He makes it all the
way to level three of the painting
skill by the end of the night. Galaxy
also arrives home from her first day
of work, with no promotion (of
course).
Her first day as a water person
brings some more money in, but
we have to use almost all of it to
replace her small bed with a
bigger one. We have $132 to
our name now.
The happy couple did get their
first woohoo accomplished
though. They had fun, despite it
being achieved on the front
lawn.
The next series of days falls into a pattern
for Galaxy and George. I have them
focus on building up their careers and
earning money through selling paintings.
Over the course of the next 10 sim days
Galaxy progresses through the athletic
career scale, moving from locker room
attendant, to team mascot (complete with
hilarious costume), to dance team
captain, to personal trainer in the “body
builder” branch of the career track.
Galaxy also makes good progress on her
aspirational goals, since they go along
with her profession so nicely. With two
sims working and painting, we finally are
able to get her two pieces of workout
equipment, which she uses to sweat her
way up to level 7 in the fitness skill. She’s
almost up to achieving her “body builder”
goal. She just needs to max out the fitness
skill and reach her “maximum body
potential,” whatever that means.
Jorge’s life is a little more challenging to
manage, since his artist career track and
romantic LTW don’t match up at all. He arrives
home from work with his fun bar bottomed out
every day and needs to have romantic
interactions with Galaxy to avoid negative
moodlets. He doesn’t find painting particularly
fun either, unfortunately. Through careful sim
management, he still rises through the ranks in
his career from hungry artist to watercolor
dabbler to canvas creator. Through near-
constant painting, he also reaches level 8 in
the painting skill.
To keep him happy, I work on his
aspirational goals during his days off.
These goals mostly include taking
Galaxy on dates and earning gold and
silver medals. These goals are easy to
accomplish, but take up a lot of time.
His next milestone involves going on
three gold medal dates and engaging
in 50 romantic interactions while at the
“soulmate” level. Just a matter of time
until we achieve that one.
As the days stretch on, Galaxy and Jorge scrimp and save. They do a lot of lawn-living and
cereal-eating, but it’s not in vain. Their bank account gradually grows. We experience small
windfalls, like when Jorge painted and sold a masterpiece, and small setbacks, like when the bills
arrive. It’s a slow start for a legacy, but yard babies are not for me, so we wait. And wait. And
wait some more. Finally, the day arrives when through a combination of a good day painting and
a double promotion for the happy pair, we have $10,000 saved.
It is then, that in a combination of building and design choices that will probably make
my partner Roxy weep, I build them a small starter home. We are officially off the
lawn!
The Galaxy homestead features a living space that I can’t afford to furnish, so it
currently houses Galaxy’s exercise equipment, a kitchen, a bathroom, a room for future
kids and a bedroom for Galaxy and Jorge. It’s a nice start, but it leaves us with $65 to
our names. I’m afraid for the next bill cycle.
Galaxy and Jorge enjoy their first day of living indoors, indulging in such pleasures as
cooking on a stove, eating food that isn’t cereal and woohooing in the privacy of an actual
bedroom. It’s the simple things in life, you know?
I decided to hold off on kids for a little longer, to allow myself time to furnish the home better
and have the appropriate skilling objects ready to go for the next generation.
So, over the course of the next sim week, Galaxy and Jorge continue to work on their career
and aspirational goals, furnishing rooms in the house as they accumulate the funds.
Through a combination of mentoring and an insane amount of working out, Galaxy climbs to
level 8 in fitness. She also spent some aspirational reward points on the gym rat and
entrepreneurial traits to make building fitness and getting promotions easier. Despite my
best efforts, she is a little slow to climb the career ladder.
Jorge does a bit better with his career, and is promoted to Imaginative Imagist. I spent his
aspirational points on the creative visionary trait, to increase his chances of painting
masterpieces. This definitely paid off big time, because the extra income from his
occasional masterpieces really helped to furnish the house. This picture, which I was sorely
tempted to keep, sold for $1,687 and bought the happy couple a new bedroom.
Between paychecks, selling normal paintings and selling masterpieces, the humble Hart
abode gradually became livable. Aside from the new bedroom, we are able to remodel
the kitchen, the bathroom, the kids’ room, the living room and the patio area. We’ve
certainly come a long way from lawn-living!
Jorge also reaches a major milestone in his life by completing his romantic aspiration. He
earned some special spouse interactions and buckets of personal fulfillment for his trouble. I
selected creativity for his new aspiration, since that matches so well with his career path.
He wants to be a painter extraordinaire. With a first goal of starting 3 paintings while
inspired and painting for 5 hours, this was a piece of cake. He eventually reaches level 9 in
the painting skill.
At the end of this whirlwind week of progress, Galaxy and Jorge both age up into adults.
With the house fit for a family and time ticking down, the happy couple gets down to the
business of creating an heiress.
After some awkward staring across the bedroom, the sparks fly and we have a baby on the
way!
Being family-oriented, Jorge is extremely happy with the good news!
Just kidding – this is how he takes a bath.
Impending motherhood doesn’t
slow Galaxy down from achieving
her career and aspirational goals
at all. The next day, she is
promoted to professional body
builder and reaches fitness level
9.
Her bump grows bigger and
bigger, but she still hits the
treadmill every day, hoping to
max her fitness level. This
doesn’t look safe, or wise, but
Galaxy isn’t a fussy pregnant
sim. Her needs never dropped
too low throughout her whole
pregnancy. Aside from the
occasional backache, she was a
trooper.
Jorge was, of course, a very
sweet sim husband throughout
Galaxy’s pregnancy. He was
always up for a belly rub and a
romantic gesture.
He also achieved a lot in his new
aspirational and career track. He
completed the next two steps of his
aspiration, maxed his painting skill
and was promoted up to the branch
level of his career track. He chose
to pursue the Master of the Real
track and became an Artist en
Residence. Doesn’t he look
thrilled? Even with his artistic
aspiration, he doesn’t like his job
very much.
Finally, after a particularly rousing round of dawn-boxing (because that’s totally normal
for heavily pregnant women), Galaxy went into labor. Here comes generation 2!
That’s right, through no gameplay trickery, the first birth of the Hart Legacy was twins - a
girl and a boy. It’s a legacy miracle. For this generation, I decided to name the children
after constellations. Hence, our new daughter Andromeda and our son Aries.
Andromeda and Aries!
After gathering around and cooing over the babies for a while, Galaxy and Jorge
celebrate the birth of their twins by making another. Since Roxy and I are planning 3
children per generation (or until a female is born since we are playing a strict matriarchy),
we still have one pregnancy to go.
The next few days are a blur of diapers and bottles as Galaxy and Jorge settle into their
new lives as parents. Andromeda and Aries prove to be fairly low maintenance babies,
and the normal house routine of painting and obsessive exercising continues in between
caring for the infants. In the Sims 4, you are allowed to skip infancy if you want and age
babies up right away, but that feels like cheating to me. The twins completed their
infancy stage fair and square.
Before long, Galaxy starts to show signs of a new pregnancy. A pregnancy test confirms
the happy news. She seems a bit sicker this time around, and actually pukes a couple of
times in the early stages.
Due to the awesome and much needed new daycare system, Galaxy and Jorge are able
to continue back as work pretty soon after the twins are born. Galaxy looks entirely too
happy to be heading out the door here. She’s newly pregnant and leaving twin infants
behind, but who am I to judge? Unlike Jorge, she’s always liked her job.
Speaking of her job, Galaxy reached the level of her career that unlocked the fancy
workout machine without me realizing it for a while. I added it to our porch/home gym
right away. True fact: it takes a million years to max a sim’s body skill. At this point,
Galaxy was still sitting at 9 points.
After that long day of work during which no one gets promoted, Galaxy tells Jorge that
another bundle of joy is on the way. I’m confused by his reaction though, because as a
family-oriented sim, you’d think he’d be thrilled. Maybe he thinks he’s busy enough painting
brilliant and expensive masterpieces against his will all day AND caring for the twins at night.
With not much to do besides wait for Andromeda and Ares to age up and for the new baby
to be born, life continues on. Galaxy is a great mom, handling her pregnancy, career,
aspirational and family goals with ease. Both Jorge and Galaxy continue to work , but their
careers are going pretty slowly - mainly because it’s hard to get them in the proper moods at
the right time. Finally, after a seemingly interminable wait, Andromeda and Aries grow up.
Welcome Andromeda!With a very unceremonious pop from her bassinet (she was basically just . . . there), Andromeda
becomes a child! I’m using the Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator by Pinstar to determine
all traits and aspirations now, so this list shows what she has now, and what she will have in the
future.
Traits
-Cheerful
-Active
-Self assured
Aspiration
Childhood Aspiration – Whiz kid
Future Adult Aspiration –
Become Fabulously wealthy
This is a great lineup for a potential heiress – this was a lucky roll!
Welcome Aries!
Aries grew into a very cute child, but his randomly generated traits were a little more…interesting. I
guess every family has their weirdo, right? Let’s just say that I’m happy we are running a strict
matriarchy here.
Traits
-Insane
-Snob
-Hotheaded
Aspiration
Childhood Aspiration – Whiz kid
Future Adult Aspiration –
Master mixologist
I like how he’s trying really hard not to pay attention to Jorge painting in his underwear back there.
After a quick style change, both kids
indulge their want to play 3 games
of chess. Having twins with the
same childhood aspiration is going
to be convenient.
Jorge is so interested in his newly-
grown kids that he rushes over to
observe their game, scarring them
both for life in the process.
I can only imagine that they are
both thinking variations of “Just
keep looking down at the
board…don’t look up…”
Their touching family moment is soon
broken up however, when Galaxy
comes home early from work in
labor. Good thing Andromeda and
Aries just vacated the bassinets!
Jorge is understandably alarmed.
In the middle of her labor pains, Galaxy looks curiously at Andromeda and Aries, who are not
interested in what’s going on right now at all. This is the first time she’s seen them as children.
She kind of has a lot going on right now.
After a lot of encouragement from Jorge, who eventually recovers from his initial shock, we
have a third baby!
…and a fourth. That’s right, twins again, with no intervention from me. They are both boys
this time and they raise our total of generation two kids to 4. Remember that beautiful kids’
room I decorated to fit three beds? Great.
The birth of Leo and Orion clinches the title of heiress for Andromeda, since she is the only
girl of the generation. Little Leo and Orion were born in matching onesies, so I will have
no idea who is who until they grow older.
Leo and Orion!
Immediately after a little bit of cooing and cuddling the new arrivals, Galaxy heads out to the
home gym, where she immediately maxes her fitness level. Like a boss. The only thing we
are waiting on now for her to complete her aspiration is for her to achieve “maximum body
potential,” which I still don’t quite understand. I’m going to assume it means “continue to
work out for an ungodly amount of time.”
When Andromeda and Aires finally
get around to checking out their new
siblings, they are less than pleased.
They handle their feelings in different
ways.
Andromeda immediately complains
to her father, while Aires…
Aires fixes upon the boys the meanest look I have ever seen a sim give anyone. It’s not just
anger, there’s disgust there too. I’m thinking we shouldn’t leave this insane, hotheaded boy
alone with the twins. Ever.
I actually have to be quite careful
with Aires in general, as his insane
trait makes him very unpredictable.
I have to cancel out mean actions
from his queue all the time. Don’t
forget, we still have to give him the
snob and hotheaded traits as he
ages up too. He’s destined to be a
real charmer, this one.
Andromeda and Aries spend the
rest of their first day as kids tackling
their Whiz Kid aspirational goals.
They end up finishing their three
chess games and complete their
first homework assignment, despite
never having been to school. They
end up completing the first level of
their aspiration. Next they have to
get 5 mental points and complete
homework twice while focused.
The next day brings with it a return to
normalcy. Well, as normal as this
family gets anyway. Galaxy heads
back off to work, while Jorge spends
his day off painting more
masterpieces against his will and
taking care of the twins
Andromeda and Aries head to
school for the first time, after
managing to wake up and get
out of bed at the exact same time
in the exact same way. Twins
indeed!
The kids come back from school exhausted and with their fun bars completely depleted. After
a little chess, they hit the books. They are starting off with Cs, which is simply not acceptable
for a couple of whiz-kids-in-the-making.
After their homework is complete,
both twins continue to build their
mental skill for their aspirations.
Aries prefers playing chess with his
father to earn his points. Jorge,
fresh off a promotion to professional
painter, is happy to oblige.
Andromeda takes real shine to the
chemistry set. She stays outside on
the porch for hours mixing up
random chemicals of questionable
origins.
The next days bring with them some nice achievements for the Hart family. We had our first
meal at the kitchen table as a family, Galaxy finally reached maximum body potential,
finished her aspiration and earned her “long lived” trait (then moved on to art with Jorge),
Andromeda and Aries reached mental level 4, and Galaxy and Jorge indulged in a couple of
romantic moments in between painting an d baby care.
And speaking of baby care, Leo and
Orion were generally fussy and
unpleasant throughout their entire
babyhood. Unlike their siblings, who
were pretty mellow, these two
always seemed to be crying.
Galaxy and Jorge continued to
dote on their little ones, but they
were just difficult babies. Luckily,
time flew by and it was soon time
for Leo and Orion to grow up.
Welcome Leo!
Traits
-outgoing
-cheerful
-music lover
Aspiration
Childhood Aspiration – Social
butterfly
Future Adult Aspiration – joke
star
This was a pretty good roll for Leo. His traits match up with his aspirations fairly well.
Leo aged up into some pretty interesting fashion choices. Who am I to quash his self expression?
Welcome Orion!
Orion aged up into quite the little cutie. The expression on his face now is miles away from how he
behaved as a baby. Let’s hope the most difficult days are behind us!
Traits
-Cheerful
-Active
-Glutton
Aspiration
Childhood Aspiration – Artistic
prodigy
Future Adult Aspiration –
musical genius
For those keeping track, all of the Hart kids of generation 2 are cheerful, except for Aries, who might
as well belong to another family.
With all of the kids aged up into children, a big remodel of the house was in order. Another bed
just wasn’t going to fit in my designated kid room, and one bathroom probably wasn’t going to
work for much longer. I dug into the household funds to build an addition; we gained another
bathroom, a study, and another bedroom. I decided to divide up the kids’ rooms into a girl room
and a boy room. Lucky Andromeda gets a bedroom all to herself. I didn’t knock myself out here,
because I know Roxy will redo everything and build us a beautiful house when it’s her turn!
Leo and Orion got along beautifully from the moment they became children, telling each other
stories and doing their early homework together. As they are both ineligible to become heir, they
get to enjoy their childhoods a little more then Andromeda, but they still work on some skill building
too. Orion focuses on creative activities to suit his aspiration and Leo works on his social skills.
With the clock of childhood slowly ticking down for generation two, the other members of the Hart
family continue to work on their skills. Galaxy and Jorge paint up a storm, with the occasional
masterpiece helping to replenish the family funds after the big remodel. Andromeda makes it to
level 5 of the mental skill and Aries continues to talk to himself and make various family members
mad.
In between painting and caring for her
children, Galaxy is still plugging away
at her body builder career. Things
have stalled since her daily task is
mentoring fitness. This is annoying
because it takes forever and often
requires her to leave the house. I don’t
usually get to it, which means Galaxy
hasn’t been getting promoted. With all
the kids out of the house and Jorge at
work, I take the chance to send Galaxy
to the gym.
After harassing her only friend
Clementine on the treadmill,
Galaxy heads home for some
much needed alone time with
Jorge. Both of these guys now
come home from work with
bottomed out fun bars, so I use
lots of romance to ease their
tension.
After the kids get back from school, disaster strikes for poor Orion. He is very upset that he
didn’t get a birthday party when he aged up. He mopes around all day. His siblings are
generally ambivalent to his deep emotional trauma.
Eventually, sociable little Leo cheers his brother up. They also decide to become partners in
crime and make a plan to stuff some jocks in the lockers at school the next day (a plan
which failed spectacularly, by the way). At least the plan distracted Orion from hiding in
his bed and crying.
Over the course of the next few days, the family settles into a routine of homework, skilling and
working. Andromeda continues to work on her mental skill, making potions at the chemistry table
and playing chess. She eventually achieves her whiz kid aspiration. Aries completes all the goals
for this aspiration too, but for some reason, the game never let him achieve it. Leo talks to random
strangers to help with his social goals and Orion discovers the violin.
The Hart family also hugs a lot. Seriously, they hug a LOT. All autonomously. It’s a little weird. If I
lose track of a sim in this family, I generally find them hugging someone else.
As Andromeda’s and Aires’
birthdays approach, Jorge manages
to complete his second aspiration
by finishing his tenth masterpiece.
I switch his aspiration to “Nerd
Brain” and he immediately begins
working on reading his first of three
required books. It’s slow going
though, because Jorge seems to
have the sim version of ADD. He
has a lot of trouble sitting and
doing anything for long stretches of
time. I have to keep removing
random actions from his queue
while he reads.
The Hart kids continue to make strides in their aspirations too, and the purchase of
some playground equipment has them all running straight to the backyard after school
these days. Well, all except Aries. He prefers to…do whatever this is.
The playground is mostly for Andromeda, who has switched childhood aspirations to motor after
becoming a whiz kid (and receiving the mentally gifted trait). Her goals now include playing on the
monkey bars and typing on the computer. On a funnier note, Orion starts taking after his mother
and begins doing random pushups around the house. Jorge also snags a promotion and becomes
an illustrious illustrator – an achievement that Galaxy finds quite alluring.
I also splurge and wind up getting the family the spaceship playground, because of
course. We didn’t have enough money to do justice to the astronaut career track in
the first generation, but the playground, we can do!
Galaxy continues to work on her
artistic aspiration. Viewing artwork
in the museum fulfills an aspirational
goal for her, despite her less-than-
thrilled expression.
She also gets a promotion to
champion body builder, and
doesn’t she look pleased? She
probably has that look on her face
because she STILL HAS THREE
LEVELS TO GO in this career track.
On a side note, trying to mentor
fitness daily is killing me inside.
At last, the day for some birthdays finally arrives. Jorge is first to age into an elder, and he remains
rather dashing, if I do say so myself. He immediately gets to work upgrading the toilet for his
aspiration. Aries pops into some interesting facial features and awesome clothing choices. I set his
aspiration to the pre-determined goal of becoming a master mixologist and he gets to work mixing
drinks at the brand new bar I bought for him. His traits are now hotheaded and snob – a great
combination for a bartender, right? The heart wants what the heart wants, I suppose.
Our heiress Andromeda also ages into a beautiful young lady. She adds the active
trait to her personality and the aspiration of being fabulously wealthy. Good luck
achieving that in generation two kiddo – you’d better get painting.
While all of this birthday excitement is
going on, Orion’s efforts on the violin
help him finish his childhood music
aspiration.
Poor Leo, stuck with the social
childhood aspiration, is having
less success. Leaving the house
for him to make friends is too
time-consuming, so he only
achieves the second level. He is
a friend to everyone in the house
though, especially his twin. He
also will drink whatever
concoction Aries mixes up –
pretty handy, as this is all Aries
does now.
With the few days left before her siblings age up, Andromeda squeezes in as many
productive activities as she can. She earns some body points, with the mentoring of
an all-too-eager Galaxy, works diligently on her high school homework and sells
some of her parents’ paintings for her aspiration. She actually achieves the first level
of it this way.
The day for Galaxy to age up also arrives, and after a small party she becomes a pretty classy
elder. Not too much changes for her in this life stage. Her and Jorge are still nuts about each other,
and she still does random exercises all over the house.
At last, the day for Orion and Leo to
age up arrives, and with it comes
the end to my turn with this legacy.
While the boys are in school,
Galaxy gets some more painting in.
While Jorge, always the good
family-oriented sim, busies himself
baking some birthday cakes for the
boys.
He is awfully proud of his efforts.
When everyone arrives home that
afternoon, Orion is up first. Andromeda
gets the party started by spraying
confetti all over the kitchen.
He ages up into a suitably
trendy-looking artistic type. He’s
going to have to beat the sim
ladies off with a stick.
Aries is characteristically unimpressed by this display. This is much like his reaction to
Orion’s birth. At least he’s consistent.
Sweet, friendly Leo is up next.
Luckily for him, Aries decided that
one birthday party was enough and
escaped out to the bar to mix more
drinks.
Just like his brother, Leo ends up
being quite the looker! The Hart
family is genetically gifted.
With his age change, Orion adds the
pre-determined active trait to his
personality. He also takes on the
musical genius aspiration. All that
violin practice he did as a kid is going
to come in handy!
Similarly, Leo adds the
predetermined cheerful trait to his
personality and the joke star
aspiration. I can’t think of a
better goal for this goofy, friendly
boy to pursue.
With all the Hart children aged up into teenagers, it’s officially time for me to end my
turn with this legacy and pass it on to Roxy. I wonder where she’ll take Andromeda
next…maybe all the way to the stars? And will Galaxy ever reach the top of her
career track and become Mrs. Solar System? Good Lord I hope so. We will have to
wait and see what the future holds.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the “I Hart Space” Legacy!

chapters, as well as for lots of other wonderful legacy stories.

I Hart Space! Chapter 1

  • 1. I Hart Space! A joint legacy by Kristina and Roxy Chapter 1: One Small Step By Kristina
  • 2. Welcome to our Legacy! “I Hart Space” is a space-themed joint legacy written by Kristina (thinmintsim) and Roxy (Taube). We hope to take our intrepid founder, Galaxy Hart, on an out-of-this-world voyage to legacy stardom! Speaking of Galaxy, here she is - and doesn’t she look completely confident and ready to form the foundation of a powerful sim dynasty? Well…she’s doing it anyway.
  • 3. Rules Before we get started, let’s do a check of the rules. Roxy and I have agreed to the following terms: Succession Gender Law: Strict Matriarchy Bloodline Law: Strict Traditional Heir Law: Decide amongst ourselves Kids 3 kids per generation (or until an eligible heiress is born) Switch when last born becomes a teen.
  • 4. After settling Galaxy on her new, expensive and very empty lot, the first order of business is to buy some furnishings. $1800 is not a lot to work with, and I want to save for an easel so that sweet painting money can come rolling in. We end up with just the bare essentials – a bed, refrigerator, toilet and shower. We have $340 left. An easel costs $350. Of course. Obviously, the procurement of more money is a necessity, so Galaxy uses her phone to take a job in the Athletic career track. This matches her traits and aspirations well, but it doesn’t start for two days.
  • 5. Since she has some free time before work starts, Galaxy heads to the gym to take care of some work and aspiration goals. After satisfying her want to work out in a public gym, she spies something interesting . . .
  • 6. Well hello, handsome! It’s Jorge Romero, one of the #legacyloves that I seeded the neighborhood with. Impressed by Jorge’s superior genetics, Galaxy instantly turns on her charm to lure him in. Just kidding. She did this.
  • 7. After getting over her initial shock, Galaxy pulls herself together and catches up to Jorge outside for a little conversation. Things go well and she discovers that Jorge is cheerful and family oriented. A legacy spouse dream!
  • 8. Unfortunately, he doesn’t want to stick around too long, so Galaxy heads back into the gym after their chat and works out until she achieves her aspirational goal of working out for 8 hours. She also makes it to level 2 of the fitness skill (which achieves the first level of her “body builder” goal). Not bad for one day’s work. Side note: Don’t you love that low- hygiene layer of grime she’s sporting? After heading home, Galaxy wolfs down a lonely and decidedly-not- gourmet dinner of cereal, then calls up Jorge to continue working on their relationship. The faster I can get him to move in, the faster we can start earning more money with two salaries.
  • 9. A few hours of socializing later, Galaxy is able to discover that Jorge’s last trait is romantic. We are now at the “best friend” level of friendship and all of that chatting and joking has brought Galaxy up to level two in charisma. Honestly, this is probably the most successful first day of a legacy I’ve ever had. It must have been written in the stars! Get it? Because it’s a space-themed legacy? Never mind.
  • 10. Since there’s still no work until tomorrow, Galaxy spends the next morning back at the gym. She dutifully puts on her crazy-pumping-iron face and makes it to level 4 of the fitness skill. To achieve her next aspirational goal, we need to buy 2 pieces of workout equipment. Our household funds are still sitting at $340, so that’s not an option right now.
  • 11. So instead of athletics, Galaxy turns her mind to romantic pursuits. A steamy shower serves the dual purpose of cleaning up from the gym and putting her in a flirty mood. You can tell because she keeps striking sexy poses while waiting for Jorge to show up. She also strikes sexy poses when Jorge arrives. He seems to like it, so who am I to say Galaxy’s incredibly awkward?
  • 12. Once I start having Galaxy perform the romantic socials, things move incredibly quickly for her and Jorge. It must have been the combination of her flirty mood and Jorge’s romantic trait. In short order, we achieve Galaxy’s first kiss, and become boyfriend and girlfriend.
  • 13. And then, since things are going so well, I have Galaxy pop the question. Jorge accepts, and then immediately leaves the lot because it was late. Not very romantic, but successful nonetheless. This is the fastest I’ve been able to get a relationship to grow – Galaxy and Jorge are soulmates despite only knowing each other for two days. I’m learning that using moods and traits effectively can yield impressive results.
  • 14. The next morning, Galaxy invites Jorge over first thing and they tie the knot in a very private ceremony. We have no extra funds for wedding stuff, so this will have to do. Maybe Galaxy and Jorge will be able to watch their children get married in more traditional ceremonies one day. At this point, it was a struggle to pay for the new trash can you can see in the distance.
  • 15. Welcome Jorge! With the exchange of vows, George joined the Hart household. Let’s learn a little more about him! Traits -Cheerful -Family oriented -Romantic Bonus Trait: alluring (romantic interactions more likely to succeed) Age: Young Adult (same as Galaxy) Aspiration Love aspiration – soulmate The soulmate aspiration is all about having a successful marriage – goals include having romantic interactions and successful dates.
  • 16. After they happy couple finished their ceremony, Galaxy immediately started doing pushups in the driveway, because that’s a very normal reaction to being a newlywed. Soon after that, she headed off to her first day of work in the athletic track (finally!) as a water person. Jorge contributed no money to the household funds when he moved in (legacy rules prevent him from doing so anyway). His soulmate aspiration is not tied to any specific career. Right away, I have him take a job as a painter, since I figure that selling paintings while building his creativity skill will help with our money situation.
  • 17. Jorge needs creativity points for his career. Obviously there aren’t enough household funds to purchase an easel. Since today is his day off, I have him head down to the art museum to use their easel while Galaxy is at work. He completes an aesthetically questionable llama picture, which he sells for a whopping $32. His second picture also nets us $32.
  • 18. Jorge’s first efforts at painting do finally give the household enough funds to buy an easel, which he immediately uses to create more llama artwork. He makes it all the way to level three of the painting skill by the end of the night. Galaxy also arrives home from her first day of work, with no promotion (of course). Her first day as a water person brings some more money in, but we have to use almost all of it to replace her small bed with a bigger one. We have $132 to our name now. The happy couple did get their first woohoo accomplished though. They had fun, despite it being achieved on the front lawn.
  • 19. The next series of days falls into a pattern for Galaxy and George. I have them focus on building up their careers and earning money through selling paintings. Over the course of the next 10 sim days Galaxy progresses through the athletic career scale, moving from locker room attendant, to team mascot (complete with hilarious costume), to dance team captain, to personal trainer in the “body builder” branch of the career track. Galaxy also makes good progress on her aspirational goals, since they go along with her profession so nicely. With two sims working and painting, we finally are able to get her two pieces of workout equipment, which she uses to sweat her way up to level 7 in the fitness skill. She’s almost up to achieving her “body builder” goal. She just needs to max out the fitness skill and reach her “maximum body potential,” whatever that means.
  • 20. Jorge’s life is a little more challenging to manage, since his artist career track and romantic LTW don’t match up at all. He arrives home from work with his fun bar bottomed out every day and needs to have romantic interactions with Galaxy to avoid negative moodlets. He doesn’t find painting particularly fun either, unfortunately. Through careful sim management, he still rises through the ranks in his career from hungry artist to watercolor dabbler to canvas creator. Through near- constant painting, he also reaches level 8 in the painting skill. To keep him happy, I work on his aspirational goals during his days off. These goals mostly include taking Galaxy on dates and earning gold and silver medals. These goals are easy to accomplish, but take up a lot of time. His next milestone involves going on three gold medal dates and engaging in 50 romantic interactions while at the “soulmate” level. Just a matter of time until we achieve that one.
  • 21. As the days stretch on, Galaxy and Jorge scrimp and save. They do a lot of lawn-living and cereal-eating, but it’s not in vain. Their bank account gradually grows. We experience small windfalls, like when Jorge painted and sold a masterpiece, and small setbacks, like when the bills arrive. It’s a slow start for a legacy, but yard babies are not for me, so we wait. And wait. And wait some more. Finally, the day arrives when through a combination of a good day painting and a double promotion for the happy pair, we have $10,000 saved.
  • 22. It is then, that in a combination of building and design choices that will probably make my partner Roxy weep, I build them a small starter home. We are officially off the lawn!
  • 23. The Galaxy homestead features a living space that I can’t afford to furnish, so it currently houses Galaxy’s exercise equipment, a kitchen, a bathroom, a room for future kids and a bedroom for Galaxy and Jorge. It’s a nice start, but it leaves us with $65 to our names. I’m afraid for the next bill cycle.
  • 24. Galaxy and Jorge enjoy their first day of living indoors, indulging in such pleasures as cooking on a stove, eating food that isn’t cereal and woohooing in the privacy of an actual bedroom. It’s the simple things in life, you know? I decided to hold off on kids for a little longer, to allow myself time to furnish the home better and have the appropriate skilling objects ready to go for the next generation.
  • 25. So, over the course of the next sim week, Galaxy and Jorge continue to work on their career and aspirational goals, furnishing rooms in the house as they accumulate the funds. Through a combination of mentoring and an insane amount of working out, Galaxy climbs to level 8 in fitness. She also spent some aspirational reward points on the gym rat and entrepreneurial traits to make building fitness and getting promotions easier. Despite my best efforts, she is a little slow to climb the career ladder.
  • 26. Jorge does a bit better with his career, and is promoted to Imaginative Imagist. I spent his aspirational points on the creative visionary trait, to increase his chances of painting masterpieces. This definitely paid off big time, because the extra income from his occasional masterpieces really helped to furnish the house. This picture, which I was sorely tempted to keep, sold for $1,687 and bought the happy couple a new bedroom.
  • 27. Between paychecks, selling normal paintings and selling masterpieces, the humble Hart abode gradually became livable. Aside from the new bedroom, we are able to remodel the kitchen, the bathroom, the kids’ room, the living room and the patio area. We’ve certainly come a long way from lawn-living!
  • 28. Jorge also reaches a major milestone in his life by completing his romantic aspiration. He earned some special spouse interactions and buckets of personal fulfillment for his trouble. I selected creativity for his new aspiration, since that matches so well with his career path. He wants to be a painter extraordinaire. With a first goal of starting 3 paintings while inspired and painting for 5 hours, this was a piece of cake. He eventually reaches level 9 in the painting skill.
  • 29. At the end of this whirlwind week of progress, Galaxy and Jorge both age up into adults. With the house fit for a family and time ticking down, the happy couple gets down to the business of creating an heiress.
  • 30. After some awkward staring across the bedroom, the sparks fly and we have a baby on the way!
  • 31. Being family-oriented, Jorge is extremely happy with the good news! Just kidding – this is how he takes a bath.
  • 32. Impending motherhood doesn’t slow Galaxy down from achieving her career and aspirational goals at all. The next day, she is promoted to professional body builder and reaches fitness level 9. Her bump grows bigger and bigger, but she still hits the treadmill every day, hoping to max her fitness level. This doesn’t look safe, or wise, but Galaxy isn’t a fussy pregnant sim. Her needs never dropped too low throughout her whole pregnancy. Aside from the occasional backache, she was a trooper.
  • 33. Jorge was, of course, a very sweet sim husband throughout Galaxy’s pregnancy. He was always up for a belly rub and a romantic gesture. He also achieved a lot in his new aspirational and career track. He completed the next two steps of his aspiration, maxed his painting skill and was promoted up to the branch level of his career track. He chose to pursue the Master of the Real track and became an Artist en Residence. Doesn’t he look thrilled? Even with his artistic aspiration, he doesn’t like his job very much.
  • 34. Finally, after a particularly rousing round of dawn-boxing (because that’s totally normal for heavily pregnant women), Galaxy went into labor. Here comes generation 2!
  • 35. That’s right, through no gameplay trickery, the first birth of the Hart Legacy was twins - a girl and a boy. It’s a legacy miracle. For this generation, I decided to name the children after constellations. Hence, our new daughter Andromeda and our son Aries. Andromeda and Aries!
  • 36. After gathering around and cooing over the babies for a while, Galaxy and Jorge celebrate the birth of their twins by making another. Since Roxy and I are planning 3 children per generation (or until a female is born since we are playing a strict matriarchy), we still have one pregnancy to go.
  • 37. The next few days are a blur of diapers and bottles as Galaxy and Jorge settle into their new lives as parents. Andromeda and Aries prove to be fairly low maintenance babies, and the normal house routine of painting and obsessive exercising continues in between caring for the infants. In the Sims 4, you are allowed to skip infancy if you want and age babies up right away, but that feels like cheating to me. The twins completed their infancy stage fair and square.
  • 38. Before long, Galaxy starts to show signs of a new pregnancy. A pregnancy test confirms the happy news. She seems a bit sicker this time around, and actually pukes a couple of times in the early stages.
  • 39. Due to the awesome and much needed new daycare system, Galaxy and Jorge are able to continue back as work pretty soon after the twins are born. Galaxy looks entirely too happy to be heading out the door here. She’s newly pregnant and leaving twin infants behind, but who am I to judge? Unlike Jorge, she’s always liked her job.
  • 40. Speaking of her job, Galaxy reached the level of her career that unlocked the fancy workout machine without me realizing it for a while. I added it to our porch/home gym right away. True fact: it takes a million years to max a sim’s body skill. At this point, Galaxy was still sitting at 9 points.
  • 41. After that long day of work during which no one gets promoted, Galaxy tells Jorge that another bundle of joy is on the way. I’m confused by his reaction though, because as a family-oriented sim, you’d think he’d be thrilled. Maybe he thinks he’s busy enough painting brilliant and expensive masterpieces against his will all day AND caring for the twins at night.
  • 42. With not much to do besides wait for Andromeda and Ares to age up and for the new baby to be born, life continues on. Galaxy is a great mom, handling her pregnancy, career, aspirational and family goals with ease. Both Jorge and Galaxy continue to work , but their careers are going pretty slowly - mainly because it’s hard to get them in the proper moods at the right time. Finally, after a seemingly interminable wait, Andromeda and Aries grow up.
  • 43. Welcome Andromeda!With a very unceremonious pop from her bassinet (she was basically just . . . there), Andromeda becomes a child! I’m using the Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator by Pinstar to determine all traits and aspirations now, so this list shows what she has now, and what she will have in the future. Traits -Cheerful -Active -Self assured Aspiration Childhood Aspiration – Whiz kid Future Adult Aspiration – Become Fabulously wealthy This is a great lineup for a potential heiress – this was a lucky roll!
  • 44. Welcome Aries! Aries grew into a very cute child, but his randomly generated traits were a little more…interesting. I guess every family has their weirdo, right? Let’s just say that I’m happy we are running a strict matriarchy here. Traits -Insane -Snob -Hotheaded Aspiration Childhood Aspiration – Whiz kid Future Adult Aspiration – Master mixologist I like how he’s trying really hard not to pay attention to Jorge painting in his underwear back there.
  • 45. After a quick style change, both kids indulge their want to play 3 games of chess. Having twins with the same childhood aspiration is going to be convenient. Jorge is so interested in his newly- grown kids that he rushes over to observe their game, scarring them both for life in the process. I can only imagine that they are both thinking variations of “Just keep looking down at the board…don’t look up…”
  • 46. Their touching family moment is soon broken up however, when Galaxy comes home early from work in labor. Good thing Andromeda and Aries just vacated the bassinets! Jorge is understandably alarmed.
  • 47. In the middle of her labor pains, Galaxy looks curiously at Andromeda and Aries, who are not interested in what’s going on right now at all. This is the first time she’s seen them as children. She kind of has a lot going on right now.
  • 48. After a lot of encouragement from Jorge, who eventually recovers from his initial shock, we have a third baby!
  • 49. …and a fourth. That’s right, twins again, with no intervention from me. They are both boys this time and they raise our total of generation two kids to 4. Remember that beautiful kids’ room I decorated to fit three beds? Great.
  • 50. The birth of Leo and Orion clinches the title of heiress for Andromeda, since she is the only girl of the generation. Little Leo and Orion were born in matching onesies, so I will have no idea who is who until they grow older. Leo and Orion!
  • 51. Immediately after a little bit of cooing and cuddling the new arrivals, Galaxy heads out to the home gym, where she immediately maxes her fitness level. Like a boss. The only thing we are waiting on now for her to complete her aspiration is for her to achieve “maximum body potential,” which I still don’t quite understand. I’m going to assume it means “continue to work out for an ungodly amount of time.”
  • 52. When Andromeda and Aires finally get around to checking out their new siblings, they are less than pleased. They handle their feelings in different ways. Andromeda immediately complains to her father, while Aires…
  • 53. Aires fixes upon the boys the meanest look I have ever seen a sim give anyone. It’s not just anger, there’s disgust there too. I’m thinking we shouldn’t leave this insane, hotheaded boy alone with the twins. Ever.
  • 54. I actually have to be quite careful with Aires in general, as his insane trait makes him very unpredictable. I have to cancel out mean actions from his queue all the time. Don’t forget, we still have to give him the snob and hotheaded traits as he ages up too. He’s destined to be a real charmer, this one. Andromeda and Aries spend the rest of their first day as kids tackling their Whiz Kid aspirational goals. They end up finishing their three chess games and complete their first homework assignment, despite never having been to school. They end up completing the first level of their aspiration. Next they have to get 5 mental points and complete homework twice while focused.
  • 55. The next day brings with it a return to normalcy. Well, as normal as this family gets anyway. Galaxy heads back off to work, while Jorge spends his day off painting more masterpieces against his will and taking care of the twins Andromeda and Aries head to school for the first time, after managing to wake up and get out of bed at the exact same time in the exact same way. Twins indeed!
  • 56. The kids come back from school exhausted and with their fun bars completely depleted. After a little chess, they hit the books. They are starting off with Cs, which is simply not acceptable for a couple of whiz-kids-in-the-making.
  • 57. After their homework is complete, both twins continue to build their mental skill for their aspirations. Aries prefers playing chess with his father to earn his points. Jorge, fresh off a promotion to professional painter, is happy to oblige. Andromeda takes real shine to the chemistry set. She stays outside on the porch for hours mixing up random chemicals of questionable origins.
  • 58. The next days bring with them some nice achievements for the Hart family. We had our first meal at the kitchen table as a family, Galaxy finally reached maximum body potential, finished her aspiration and earned her “long lived” trait (then moved on to art with Jorge), Andromeda and Aries reached mental level 4, and Galaxy and Jorge indulged in a couple of romantic moments in between painting an d baby care.
  • 59. And speaking of baby care, Leo and Orion were generally fussy and unpleasant throughout their entire babyhood. Unlike their siblings, who were pretty mellow, these two always seemed to be crying. Galaxy and Jorge continued to dote on their little ones, but they were just difficult babies. Luckily, time flew by and it was soon time for Leo and Orion to grow up.
  • 60. Welcome Leo! Traits -outgoing -cheerful -music lover Aspiration Childhood Aspiration – Social butterfly Future Adult Aspiration – joke star This was a pretty good roll for Leo. His traits match up with his aspirations fairly well. Leo aged up into some pretty interesting fashion choices. Who am I to quash his self expression?
  • 61. Welcome Orion! Orion aged up into quite the little cutie. The expression on his face now is miles away from how he behaved as a baby. Let’s hope the most difficult days are behind us! Traits -Cheerful -Active -Glutton Aspiration Childhood Aspiration – Artistic prodigy Future Adult Aspiration – musical genius For those keeping track, all of the Hart kids of generation 2 are cheerful, except for Aries, who might as well belong to another family.
  • 62. With all of the kids aged up into children, a big remodel of the house was in order. Another bed just wasn’t going to fit in my designated kid room, and one bathroom probably wasn’t going to work for much longer. I dug into the household funds to build an addition; we gained another bathroom, a study, and another bedroom. I decided to divide up the kids’ rooms into a girl room and a boy room. Lucky Andromeda gets a bedroom all to herself. I didn’t knock myself out here, because I know Roxy will redo everything and build us a beautiful house when it’s her turn!
  • 63. Leo and Orion got along beautifully from the moment they became children, telling each other stories and doing their early homework together. As they are both ineligible to become heir, they get to enjoy their childhoods a little more then Andromeda, but they still work on some skill building too. Orion focuses on creative activities to suit his aspiration and Leo works on his social skills.
  • 64. With the clock of childhood slowly ticking down for generation two, the other members of the Hart family continue to work on their skills. Galaxy and Jorge paint up a storm, with the occasional masterpiece helping to replenish the family funds after the big remodel. Andromeda makes it to level 5 of the mental skill and Aries continues to talk to himself and make various family members mad.
  • 65. In between painting and caring for her children, Galaxy is still plugging away at her body builder career. Things have stalled since her daily task is mentoring fitness. This is annoying because it takes forever and often requires her to leave the house. I don’t usually get to it, which means Galaxy hasn’t been getting promoted. With all the kids out of the house and Jorge at work, I take the chance to send Galaxy to the gym. After harassing her only friend Clementine on the treadmill, Galaxy heads home for some much needed alone time with Jorge. Both of these guys now come home from work with bottomed out fun bars, so I use lots of romance to ease their tension.
  • 66. After the kids get back from school, disaster strikes for poor Orion. He is very upset that he didn’t get a birthday party when he aged up. He mopes around all day. His siblings are generally ambivalent to his deep emotional trauma.
  • 67. Eventually, sociable little Leo cheers his brother up. They also decide to become partners in crime and make a plan to stuff some jocks in the lockers at school the next day (a plan which failed spectacularly, by the way). At least the plan distracted Orion from hiding in his bed and crying.
  • 68. Over the course of the next few days, the family settles into a routine of homework, skilling and working. Andromeda continues to work on her mental skill, making potions at the chemistry table and playing chess. She eventually achieves her whiz kid aspiration. Aries completes all the goals for this aspiration too, but for some reason, the game never let him achieve it. Leo talks to random strangers to help with his social goals and Orion discovers the violin.
  • 69. The Hart family also hugs a lot. Seriously, they hug a LOT. All autonomously. It’s a little weird. If I lose track of a sim in this family, I generally find them hugging someone else.
  • 70. As Andromeda’s and Aires’ birthdays approach, Jorge manages to complete his second aspiration by finishing his tenth masterpiece. I switch his aspiration to “Nerd Brain” and he immediately begins working on reading his first of three required books. It’s slow going though, because Jorge seems to have the sim version of ADD. He has a lot of trouble sitting and doing anything for long stretches of time. I have to keep removing random actions from his queue while he reads.
  • 71. The Hart kids continue to make strides in their aspirations too, and the purchase of some playground equipment has them all running straight to the backyard after school these days. Well, all except Aries. He prefers to…do whatever this is.
  • 72. The playground is mostly for Andromeda, who has switched childhood aspirations to motor after becoming a whiz kid (and receiving the mentally gifted trait). Her goals now include playing on the monkey bars and typing on the computer. On a funnier note, Orion starts taking after his mother and begins doing random pushups around the house. Jorge also snags a promotion and becomes an illustrious illustrator – an achievement that Galaxy finds quite alluring.
  • 73. I also splurge and wind up getting the family the spaceship playground, because of course. We didn’t have enough money to do justice to the astronaut career track in the first generation, but the playground, we can do!
  • 74. Galaxy continues to work on her artistic aspiration. Viewing artwork in the museum fulfills an aspirational goal for her, despite her less-than- thrilled expression. She also gets a promotion to champion body builder, and doesn’t she look pleased? She probably has that look on her face because she STILL HAS THREE LEVELS TO GO in this career track. On a side note, trying to mentor fitness daily is killing me inside.
  • 75. At last, the day for some birthdays finally arrives. Jorge is first to age into an elder, and he remains rather dashing, if I do say so myself. He immediately gets to work upgrading the toilet for his aspiration. Aries pops into some interesting facial features and awesome clothing choices. I set his aspiration to the pre-determined goal of becoming a master mixologist and he gets to work mixing drinks at the brand new bar I bought for him. His traits are now hotheaded and snob – a great combination for a bartender, right? The heart wants what the heart wants, I suppose.
  • 76. Our heiress Andromeda also ages into a beautiful young lady. She adds the active trait to her personality and the aspiration of being fabulously wealthy. Good luck achieving that in generation two kiddo – you’d better get painting.
  • 77. While all of this birthday excitement is going on, Orion’s efforts on the violin help him finish his childhood music aspiration. Poor Leo, stuck with the social childhood aspiration, is having less success. Leaving the house for him to make friends is too time-consuming, so he only achieves the second level. He is a friend to everyone in the house though, especially his twin. He also will drink whatever concoction Aries mixes up – pretty handy, as this is all Aries does now.
  • 78. With the few days left before her siblings age up, Andromeda squeezes in as many productive activities as she can. She earns some body points, with the mentoring of an all-too-eager Galaxy, works diligently on her high school homework and sells some of her parents’ paintings for her aspiration. She actually achieves the first level of it this way.
  • 79. The day for Galaxy to age up also arrives, and after a small party she becomes a pretty classy elder. Not too much changes for her in this life stage. Her and Jorge are still nuts about each other, and she still does random exercises all over the house.
  • 80. At last, the day for Orion and Leo to age up arrives, and with it comes the end to my turn with this legacy. While the boys are in school, Galaxy gets some more painting in. While Jorge, always the good family-oriented sim, busies himself baking some birthday cakes for the boys.
  • 81. He is awfully proud of his efforts.
  • 82. When everyone arrives home that afternoon, Orion is up first. Andromeda gets the party started by spraying confetti all over the kitchen. He ages up into a suitably trendy-looking artistic type. He’s going to have to beat the sim ladies off with a stick.
  • 83. Aries is characteristically unimpressed by this display. This is much like his reaction to Orion’s birth. At least he’s consistent.
  • 84. Sweet, friendly Leo is up next. Luckily for him, Aries decided that one birthday party was enough and escaped out to the bar to mix more drinks. Just like his brother, Leo ends up being quite the looker! The Hart family is genetically gifted.
  • 85. With his age change, Orion adds the pre-determined active trait to his personality. He also takes on the musical genius aspiration. All that violin practice he did as a kid is going to come in handy! Similarly, Leo adds the predetermined cheerful trait to his personality and the joke star aspiration. I can’t think of a better goal for this goofy, friendly boy to pursue.
  • 86. With all the Hart children aged up into teenagers, it’s officially time for me to end my turn with this legacy and pass it on to Roxy. I wonder where she’ll take Andromeda next…maybe all the way to the stars? And will Galaxy ever reach the top of her career track and become Mrs. Solar System? Good Lord I hope so. We will have to wait and see what the future holds.
