Larson Double Random Legacy

Larson Double Random Legacy

(Technically, I’m playing this really fast and loose with the whole random legacy thing, but I started out, intending to make it a random legacy, and just kind of forgot the rules that I set for myself.)

I’m doing Jason and Jodie together because they are following the same challenge. It was just easier to split them into two households once they got married. Especially since they both had twins!

Jason married Adela, who is a bowling shirt wearing downtownie and who looks remarkably like his sister. 🫤 Their daughters are Elinor and Luciana. I don’t remember what either Jason or Adela do for work but their challenge has something to do with toy making. They haven’t done much of that…

Jodie married Pierce the Bluewater townie, who I’ve always liked her with. they are definitely more business driven than Jason and Adela, and that means they also kind of let their kids go a little more wild. Their kids are named Dante and Arlie and they’re pretty cute.

The best thing I did with these guys was make a big Larson family group for outings. I took them all to the diner downtown this past round and had all the kids take pictures of themselves in the photo booth. It was really cute. Everything that happens with his family from here on out is supposed to be random, so I don’t know what I will be doing as far as who inherits what goes. We’ll have to see what happens, I guess.

@queen-lethargy — Thanks. I opted out all my blogs this morning. Ugh!

attention all writers! tumblr is rolling out a new feature that allows our work to be used in ai training processes!

be sure to opt out of this in your visibility settings immediately! and remember, you have to opt out for each blog, not just your main!

go to your blogs’ settings (again, you have to do these steps for each blog, not just your main blog)

scroll until you see “visibility” and choose that

in your visibility settings, choose “prevent third-party sharing for (blog name)”

you may opted out already but we don’t take chances with ai around these parts *insert angry cowboy*

Bluewater Village 2024

I'm not going to be documenting every detail this time, but I am back in Bluewater! (I finally found a work/life balance that lets me play sims every once in a while!) I've played four rounds now, so maybe 15-20 years? Let's call it 20 because it's a nicer number.

I'm still playing with the basic rules I had all those years ago (2016!) but I focused more on gameplay than on storytelling and I've changed some of the challenges. I'll share more about each family and their challenges in individual posts. (Otherwise this one would get way too big!)

The Traveller I’m Surrounded By Idiots Challenge

I don’t think I included these guys in the original Bluewater challenge, but I really like them. I always got the impression from these guys that Trisha is the only one with the brain cell. Therefore, she is the only one with the brain cell in this challenge, and by brain cell I mean plumbob.

I honestly thought this was going to be way harder than it actually has been. These guys are way less chaotic than the Kims. Trisha has managed to: raise Tina well enough and get her grades high enough that she went to college with a scholarship for her A+ grades, keep everybody alive, and have another child named Troy, who is newly a teenager.

The one trick that I learned to do with this family was to have the parent queue up an interaction with their child and then queue up the help with homework interaction. So if I had Trisha hug Tina and then offered to do her homework with her, it worked way better than just clicking help with homework.

Troy is going to become the torch holder for the family once he goes to college and returns. Tina is technically free of the challenge now that she’s in college. I will have to find something else for her to do once she graduates because as a premade, she cannot inherit the family challenge.

I had never played an ISBI challenge before this, but I actually really kind of enjoy it. I’m looking forward to what comes with this family.

Jacquet I’m a Lover Challenge

You’ll notice somebody very important missing from the Jacquet family photo. Denise died at the very last minute of this last round. She was 70 days old. She definitely made an impact.

I changed the challenge for these guys as well. Originally again, I think they were some kind of random occurrence scenario based challenge, but then I found the I’m a lover challenge. It’s perfect for these guys.

Denise counts as the founder. She was married to her husband Yves until his untimely death, which obviously happens before the premade story starts. Yves owned the bakery and, thanks to the challenge, Denise wrote romance novels. I think it became more of a passion for her after he died. I also think she was a little embarrassed, because she definitely wrote bodice rippers.

Gilbert grew up seeing his parents passionately in love and really wanted that for himself. Because he’s a romance, Sim, I imagine he dated a lot in high school in college. He was looking for that spark. He didn’t exactly find the spark he wanted with Brianna (although I absolutely adore her and she’s one of my favorites, and I put them together on purpose) but she ended up getting pregnant and Denise had old-fashioned ideas. They currently have three kids: Roman the teenager and twins Yvette and Nicole.

Technically, the challenge rules just say that Gilbert has to get divorced. They do not say any reason why. However, I’m thinking that the death of his mother is going to send him spiraling, looking for that spark, that he still feels like he doesn’t have, into the arms of another Sim…

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.
