2. Hello again. If youโre reading this, then youโve watched me power my way through
generation one to generation six of a Sims 2 Legacy. You know the drill so far; each
generation reaching adulthood results in a new EP being installed. Now that Seasons is
added, I get to have generation seven. It really has been just a week of me playing in my
spare time, and I have a lot of that.
You will also know that I donโt get attached to my sims. They do what they have to do and
have freewill most of the time. This makes it easy for me to not stop and take pictures of
every little thing and then spend a couple days writing out a chapter (and then
subsequently getting bored of playing).
My only goal for this EP was to get a perfect plant. I thought it was much harder than it
really is (because of the Sims 3 and 4) so my secondary goal was hoping to get a plantsim.
Now to see how that turned outโฆ
3. STEP ONE: END THE SUMMER BY STARTING G7
As anyone with seasons knows, the default is that you start on the last
day of summer heading into autumn.
6. STEP FOUR: LOCK EVERYONE OUT BECAUSE THEY LIKE
TO THROW WATER BALLOONS IN THE GREENHOUSE
I later downloaded a Pescado hack to prevent water balloons.
7. STEP FIVE: HAVE DOG ENTER ELDERHOOD
And have the trash glitch.
8. STEP SIX: ENTER AUTUMN, PAINT PORTRAITS
Autumn is my favourite set of five days in Seasons
17. STEP FIFTEEN: MEET SEBASTIAN LEGACY
For all intents and purposes, he will be the heir. 4/4/9/7/1.
Basically I need a boy for what I plan to do for generation eightโฆ if you
catch my drift.
32. STEP THIRTY: TODDLER SIOBHAN
I saved the game at this point to go and get tons of custom content and a
few mods. Then last night/this morning, from 12AM to 4AM, I played
through to the end of this generation. There was this whole other kidโฆ
33. STEP THIRTY-ONE: SHOW OFF WHOLE OTHER KID
His name was Travis and he was born when Gary and Rose were six days away from being elders. I thought, what
the hell, they know best. I wanted it to be that they died before he could be an adult so he had to stay behind from
college to keep the house in the family, but when Gary died Rose glitched while dying and then I couldnโt save. I
didnโt realize this would affect my saving ability until Travis reached adulthood and I wanted to exit to install Bon
Voyage.
35. STEP THIRTY-THREE: NEARLY FREEZE TO DEATH
Now I remember why I thought the seasons lagged my game: because of those
freaking over-heat and freeze skintones. I really need to find a hack that gets
rid of them going forward since it can only get laggier from here.
38. STEP THIRTY-SIX: TEENAGE SEBASTIAN
After spending an entire night playing, I couldnโt be bothered to take many pictures today. I kept their
aspirations from the original verse, so Sebastian is a fortune sim. Instead of wanting to be the law, he wants
to be a business tycoon. He likes cologne and red hair and hates fatness in the alterna-verse. In the original,
he rolled for that and swimwear but hated glasses.
41. STEP THIRTY-NINE: TEENAGE SIOBHAN
Rolled popularity, kept the same LTW (20 best friends). Went from liking
cologne and glasses to liking fatness and underwear. Went from hating
brown hair to hating black hair.
42. STEP FORTY: GET HER BACK IN ORIGINAL UNIVERSE
OUTFIT
I downloaded some really old CC last night. I wanted some really bad
stuff in my game just to be nostalgic about the good old days.
50. STEP FORTY-EIGHT: SCOWL ABOUT NOT GOING TO
COLLEGE
Cheer up, buddy. Maybe a vacation will do you good. Also being
abducted by aliensโฆ hopefully.
51. After I lost all my hard work with Travis, I kind of was like โscrew thisโ with generation seven.
I like both Sebastian and Siobhan, but Travis was a fun kid to play. He was a bisexual
romance sim who wanted to woohoo 20 sims. Thanks to ACR, he could start as a teen and
got two notches in the bedpost. He liked muscles and glasses and hated black hair.
Personality 4/4/9/7/1, just like his brother. The plan was to have him sleep around in the
different vacation neighbourhoods, come back, and spend every night stargazing.
Oh well, even before Travis was born Sebastian would have been the heir because I want an
alien baby. Or two. Cheesecake still works. I may cheat to get it, but not with boolprop. I
have a 10x abduction telescope that I could use that went with the multiple PT default
replacements I always download for the game. At this point, Iโm about to start generation 8
so I donโt think it matters how I get the aliens.
Part of the reason Iโm doing this instead of getting a new spouse is that too many sims may
lag the lot. Keeping it down to five at most is a good way to keep it under control.
See you next time,
Rex
