The Legend of Tiriki Forest Part 1
1.
2. Welcome everyone to my attempt at the Build a City Challenge. This will also be my
second attempt at publishing a sims story. (The first one went up in a fire ball of
glitches)
I’ll be honest as much as I love the idea of this challenge, I’m the type who has to
have an exact end to a challenge or else it tends to never get finished. So I’ve
altered the rules a bit. Instead of following the adventures of this kingdom until we
reach 50,000 (again blame my short attention span) I’ve decided to follow them for 5
generations and see how large a settlement I can end up with by then. So maybe
this a hybrid with the prosperity or Royal Kingdom challenge? You decide.
Alright then onward!
3. Ah! A brand new sim universe! And this one happens to be mine. I know it doesn’t look like much at
the moment, but I’m sure after playing around in here for 5 generations I can turn this place into
something special. Or everything will go up in flames. Either way, it should be fun.
So first thing’s first a proper universe needs a name no? So this one will be called Tiriki Forest. The
second thing this universe needs is our first playable. After all I can’t tell a story without a sim can I?
4. And the lucky founder of this civilization is Robert Hunter. Robert here is a
Family/Popularity Sim. He wants to top the Military career track which is a most
excellent choice. It’s completely doable within the first generation of a Build a
City challenge. Good for him.
5. And honestly I’ve had pets installed for over a year and I’ve never given a sim a pet. I
decided I’d change that with Robert. So meet Rob’s companion Doro-She.
6. Rob and Doro-She moved into this small house which happens to be a
remake of one of the houses from the Sims 1. I loved this house! Seriously
it was my favorite in the Sims 1. Ah Sims 1 nostalgia! Some wonderful
person at Mod the Sims made this and I love it here in the Sims 2 too.
7. Well since Rob here can’t get a job until we get 4 households in the
neighborhood I decided he could earn money by fishing. Plus itd give him
something to do until the welcome wagon arrived.
8. It arrived and the 4 sims spent the afternoon bonding. Maybe one of these
lovely sims will get a chance to be featured in later chapters. Or maybe not. I
haven’t decided yet.
9. Doro-She seems to think Brandi should get a chance to move in. Well
bonding with Doro-She is one way to get on this simmers good side
and perhaps get yourself featured in a sim story. I think I’’ll put you in
the maybe pile Brandi.
10. Oh my gypsy matchmaker is blue! I didn’t know that custom blue skin
could end up on my townies. Sweet! So Rob here greeted Claire
Hutchins. Too bad she can’t move in, but she can drop Rob his chosen
spouse. And be best friend material for work.
11. And Claire gives us Elle Alioto. And yes she’s got recessives. We love you
Claire!
Ahem anyway, Elle here is a Popularity/Knowledge sim. She wants to top
the Oceanography career. Again completely doable. I’ve apparently got
some smart little simmies. That’s always nice.
12. Before long Robert proposes marriage. Sim romances they move so quickly
don’t they?
13. And then they get hitched right there beside the old pond. I’m pretty sure
you can all guess what came next.
14. Elle fits in quite nicely here, but I am a little annoyed with her for
bringing $1 with her when she moved in. What kind of dowry is that
woman? If I were Robert I’d be very annoyed with her father.
15. Claire I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Claire thinking: Geez all I did was give his founding family a genie
lamp.
16. Yeah, but I’ve had Free Time installed for at least 6 months and I have
never gotten the genie lamp before. So yes I’m super thrilled with Claire’s
awesomeness. Okay Rob, wish for some moolah!
17. Rob: “Really? This is for us? You’re sure Claire didn’t drop you off at the
wrong house?”
Me: “Just pick up the bag of money stupid.”
*snags $10,000*
18. And the money was spent on purchasing the small community lot
which had just appeared out of thin air. Everyone welcome to The Fish
Hut.
19. I didn’t send Elle to her little business since she’s popped into pregnancy.
Her needs are bottoming out like crazy anyway. I guess I could send
Rob, but I’m too lazy.
20. They can both just work on stocking up their inventories until next rotation.
And of course Elle is fishing as much as humanly possible. She’s after that
Gold talent badge so she can get her dream job. She managed to get a
Silver badge by the end of the week. Not too bad.
21. Doro-She has become quite protective of Elle during her pregnancy.
He’s taken to sleeping on the bed with her rather than the dog house
like he usually does. Of course this means Robert has to sleep on the
couch, but come on he’s so cute there. I didn’t have the heart to throw
him off.
22. Ah crap! I accidently made my first ever pet an elder instead of an adult. So
he died Saturday morning. *feels bad*
24. Well at least my first ever chapter won’t end on a completely sour note thanks to Elle.
Thank goodness for the first born of generation 2!
No wait there are 2 new babies in the family!
25. And everyone meet Roland (right) and Wat (left). I just realized they are sleeping on pink bedding. Well I say it
takes a manly man to sleep on pink. Though I will probably change it on Renovation Day next time.
And since I placed my first community lot, we’ll be meeting another family. So it’ll be a bit before we see the
Hunters again. Alright how about some end of rotation stats?
