Mod The Sims - The Random Legacy Challenge

Emma, I updated all my mods yesterday using firefox, and I didn't have any problems. I hope you can figure it out!

So, I've decided that I hate playing large families in the Sims. I only have 5 humans in my house, but right now I also have 3 horses and 1 cat. It's such a nightmare trying to keep everybody occupied! Maddie, I don't know how you managed with 7 kids. I think my brain would have exploded or something. And trying to get screenshots is such a pain!

Ali, I don't envy you're 5 kid roll. I'm personally dreading having to deal with that many children.

ReyaD

I rolled second chance/5 kids for gen 8... I'm really considering slowing my game down so I never get to it xD.

Then again I rolled 5 kids in gen 8 last time and I never got to do all 5 because of lag sooo...

For the first time in my life I'm considering praying for lag.

26th Nov 2011, 12:17 AM

Well, I guess I'll keep trying until it works? Bah.
I'm sorry you guys don't like your big families :) I love my big families, especially when there are bunches of babies and tots and you got to rush to keep them alive. It's an adrenaline rush XD

Oh, and if anybody missed it because of Thanksgiving, I updated yesterday :) Tylar is here, what a cutie :P

Double post, too bad. You guys are too slow XD
Isa keeps on making the funniest faces, but Irish just has stolen my heart. Sorry Isa XD

And in-game Irish and Kipp had their first kiss. OMG, SHE MADE THE CUTEST ADORABLE FACE! I took SO many pictures of it :D She was all giddy and cute and sweet and I just love Irish so much! How can I make Irish a deadbeat parent!?!

Pavel Archer and Carey Burden autonomously started dating... Awesome!

Cool :) Pavel Burden, I like :P Or Carey Archer, maybe he'll carry Pavel to the wedding bed?

I got a picture of Irish with that adorable face, I even managed to keep Kipp out of the picture :P It means her forehead is a bit cut off, but whatever :P She usually just looks so serious, it was so freaking cute to see her actually look like a lovestruck teen :D And yeah, it has slight spoilers to the wallpaper and stuff.

I'm pleased I've got my graphics working (the first chapter of Twinbrook is going to have really sad graphics, they look low even though they're not *shakes head*), though it has the weird side-effect of making my beds glow. It's kind of freaky, and since I used white for a few of the beds, they're awfully painful to look at. I have the lights on at normal, they were bright before. But I don't want it to be dim, because then my pictures would be all shadowy.
And yeah, don't care about spoilers here. If you're going to be upset over seeing a few shiny beds, you're crazy XD Besides, Tyson's room has aspects from the old house anyway, it's only Irish's room that has the new look. And you see some of it anyway in the above adorable spoiler :P
Though it could be leftover Alien Magic making everything bright and shiny :P Who knows at this point? XD

26th Nov 2011, 6:52 AM

Well, they've become the Archer-Burden's, and if they don't procreate soon, I will have to step in and force it on them. They WILL produce many, many kids.

First name that comes to mind is normally the way it goes for me. It starts getting hard when I've run out of my 'go to' names.

And yes, I'm aiming for Pavel and Carey to have (at least) 5 kids... Because I said so.

AJH

26th Nov 2011, 11:19 AM

You MUST, Teal.

So I goatta ask. How do you all pick names for your characters? My friends and I went out for dinner tonight so I had them help me pick out names for Yuki's kids. The stuff they came up with... <3

I shoulda given Yuki the insane trait.
As from generation 3 I've started using names from books I've been reading, previously it was just random names although my previous (abortive) legacy I was inventing the names which was quite fun

NutsAndDolts

26th Nov 2011, 1:05 PM

Poor Pavel. He's too cool for children.

teal_moonshine

26th Nov 2011, 1:13 PM

He shall be allowed to leave if he so chooses... After fatherhood is forced upon him. He chose to marry Carey, therefore he must reproduce.

Buckley

26th Nov 2011, 2:27 PM

I'm weird about how I name my Sims. I love trying to think of just the right name, one that not only suits the parents' tastes but will fit the kid's personality too. I really try not to choose names that I normally gravitate towards. Honestly, I spend way too much time looking at baby naming websites, lol. Usually, I do a google search to find my Sim's names, particularly if I'm aiming for a specific type of name or theme. I love Yahoo answers cause those people sometimes have really good ideas. Also, I attempt to make all the siblings' names sound good together or have a similar theme (you know, like trendy or vintage or some specific origin). Like with Nathaniel, Faye, and Anastasia, I went with the "a" vowel sound in all their names.

...And a longwinded answer for a short question, hah. :)

26th Nov 2011, 3:15 PM

I go the baby naming sites. Lame but works effectively. I also pick ones I would name my own kids. I figure I'm never going to have 25 kids (which is how many my sims have produced thus far) might as well give them names I'd name my own kids.

AJH

26th Nov 2011, 10:45 PM

I named my family's second cat War Machine.
Lol

My family are decidedly unimaginative when it comes to naming cats, we're currently on Smokey II and Sammy III (it's a family tradition to call black cats Smokey or Sammy)

Had a frustrating afternoon with my game, my sims kept ignoring what I told them to do (Tamara in particular spent an entire sim afternoon mounting a horse - she kept either deciding to do something else or immediately dismounting) so I stopped playing and spent the evening building (or more accurately re-building) them a new house since I'm going to need a lot more room for 5 kids next generation

KaiRuh

26th Nov 2011, 10:56 PM

Does anyone know if the field trip glitch was ever fixed? I'd really like to start accepting them again..

For names, I usually use a generator, which I'm starting to find kind of boring... so I've started looking at name sites and choosing names based on the parents (for sims)/owners (for pets). Sometimes I'll also use the names of famous people. For instance, I'll look up famous architects and pick out a name from them for my to-be architect. I recently named my family's puppy Darwin since my last couple of generations have been interested in science-y things and most of the Sims have carried the genius trait; it seemed like a name they would pick out. This has been way more fun than the name generator ~

soccerstar

26th Nov 2011, 11:04 PM

i just use websites to find names. sometimes when im making sims in the body shop, if they are a guy i name them after crushes :lol: and if they are a girl i never name them after people i know because if they woohoo then i get a nasting picture in my mind. haha

CinderEmma

26th Nov 2011, 11:32 PM

I search names on baby websites. Usually they have a theme, like next Gen is going to be classic names (to counteract all the Alien stuff XD). Or they have the first letter in common, like both Tyson/Thorne and Isadora/Irish. Though with Irish and Isadora, it was more the shock of getting twins that caused me to make Irish's name, not because I wanted the matching first letter.

EDIT: My rabbit's name was Cinnibun (yummy) and my cat's name is Granger. Those are the most unique animal names I've had so far, better then Goldfishie #1, #2, #3, and Angel (there was one white goldfish).
EDIT 2: HOW COULD I FORGET BABOON? He grew up with Granger, but he ran away :( And yes, I was 9 when I named him, poor Baboon :P

calisims

27th Nov 2011, 12:33 AM

Does anyone know if the field trip glitch was ever fixed? I'd really like to start accepting them again..

It's not fixed, but I have found that when one of my kids is stuck on a fake field trip, if I check the status>personal on MC for each kid in the class, I will find another kid in the class who is also stuck in field trip mode. When I reset that stuck kid, my kid's status is fixed as well. It's a little time consuming, but I'd rather do that than not go on field trips at all.

I get Sim names from all kinds of sources. I will use baby names sites sometimes, or sometimes name Sims from characters in books. Sometimes I'll see a name on the news that I like; I once named a legacy family in Sims 2 for a Bush staffer named Dayspring because I really liked the name.

CinderEmma

27th Nov 2011, 1:47 AM

I just say no and that's the end of it. If I ever hear of it being fixed by a patch, then I'll try it again, but it's not really worth it :/
I like the name Dayspring too :) Now I want to make a Dasprung family :) (Just to be a bit different)

calisims

27th Nov 2011, 3:14 AM

I like the souvenirs kids get from field trips, and sometimes they pick up a few skill points. From the trip to the mausoleum, kids can sometimes get magic gnomes, special seeds and gems. So for me it's worth it, but YMMV.

teal_moonshine

27th Nov 2011, 3:28 AM

I haven't had any problems with field trips yet. But I also haven't had Generations for all that long, so knock wood.

ReyaD

27th Nov 2011, 3:30 AM

I haven't had any troubles with field trips that I've noticed, but then again I only send them to field trips when I think it would suit their future career (I.e: Yuki and Sam went to the theatre twice) because the souveniers they get bug me.

CinderEmma

27th Nov 2011, 3:36 AM

Don't worry Teal, I think it would happen right away or probably not happen at all. I've never been able to go on a field trip, they just get stuck outside the school. Bah.
I see the benefits, but not enough to try to fix it XD I dunno, I just don't like messing with my game much, even if it's to fix glitches.

EDIT: That sounded weird, since I use CC so much :P But I really don't like having too many mods in my game, Twallan's and anything to get rid of Maternity leave :P

39CBones

27th Nov 2011, 7:04 AM

Oh God. I haven't been here in over two months. That's bad...

Sorry, guys. I should really start making some chapters, since I got a lot of pictures...

ReyaD

27th Nov 2011, 7:16 AM

So on the topic of maternity leave if you use Twallan's MC to force a sim to go to work on a maternity leave day, the day is still counted. They don't just roll over and add up. You do however get the maternity leave money on top of what you made that day.

Just figured that knowledge was worth sharing if anyone was interested in a way of getting around maternity leave.

CinderEmma

27th Nov 2011, 7:17 AM

Thanks Cece :) I still prefer not to have the hassle of maternity leave myself, but if I can't find an updated no maternity mod, then I'll just do that :)
And I'm just glad you're back. Even if you don't get back to your legacy right away, we're (aka me, the only person who's on here almost all the time XD) always open to somebody to chat too :P

27th Nov 2011, 7:38 AM

I'm trying to find some pictures for my next chapter. It's not that easy. I noticed that I didn't take that many pictures of Storm :P

CinderEmma

27th Nov 2011, 7:42 AM

Picture searching can be annoying :P Though sometimes you're like "Oh, I forgot I had that picture! Super cute!" Right now I'm keeping a separate file for my Random Legacy pictures, I want to keep the habit so for my next legacy, I can have a place to store all outtakes and stuff :)

39CBones

27th Nov 2011, 7:47 AM

I actually only take pictures for my Random Legacy, so I don't have pictures mixed from different game savings.

CinderEmma

27th Nov 2011, 7:49 AM

That's good :) I take pictures for my other stories, then I usually delete them. But I kind of want to save them after losing a lot of my families that were saved only in my library from my most recent issues (MAKE sure if you install pets that your computer can handle it, otherwise it's evil!)

39CBones

27th Nov 2011, 7:54 AM

Ouch. My computer is really... bad. You can tell on my pictures that I don't have the best quality. But it can handle Pets, so I'm glad :)

Does anyone want to write my final paper for me? No? Goodness, my schoolwork is kicking me in the butt.

Anyway, I see we've got some new'ish people! Welcome!

Just thought I would pop in and let Buckley and Cali know that Bea and Foster got divorced (finally) and are enemies. Foster has had six kids with two different women (so far) and Bea is dating a new man, but I forgot his name. Those two lasted A LOT longer than I thought they would.
I'm working on getting a montage of all their many spawn, but progress is slow... TOO.MANY.KIDS.

3.7--Neighborhood #2 (http://harrislegacy.blogspot.com/2011/11/37-neighborhood-2.html)

Harper is emo; Cedric and Harper have a moment; Uther opens up about his past.

Edit: Bea got married to Wil Abbey (already) and Foster is still playing the field. I have a feeling my town will be overrun with Foster-spawn and I'll need to do some major culling of his kin to make sure I don't have a bunch of inbreeding (is that even possible?). Which would actually be pretty funny, but no. Not happenin'.

Double Edit: A new search term for the Harris': "Hairy legs Harry" :blink: Wut.

NutsAndDolts

27th Nov 2011, 8:59 PM

In a game that isn't modded to be otherwise, sims can interbreed once they're second cousins or more distant.

For example, Arjun could not have romantic interactions with River, but he could with River's daughters. Not that he would ever be inclined to do so.

GigaRevival

27th Nov 2011, 9:03 PM

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Becky. I thought it could only happen if Woohooer allowed "near relation" or whatever that is called. Well, if it gets to that point then I'll worry about it. For now, Foster is permitted to procreate to his hearts desire (mostly because I'm far too lazy to intervene).

NutsAndDolts

27th Nov 2011, 9:25 PM

I don't use woohooer, so I'm not sure if it adds or removes restrictions.

That it has an option to "allow near relations" seems to indicate that either (a) allowing it would permit cousins or siblings etc to interbreed, or (b) the mod searches family trees and automatically disallows distant relations like second cousins, and the option to allow would merely set it back to EA standard.

Hm. Curious.

GigaRevival

27th Nov 2011, 9:36 PM

That...is a good point. I've never allowed it myself, but I remember someone on the threads at NRaas a while back questioning what near-relation actually did and I *think* Twallan stated that it would permit siblings (closer relations than second cousins, I assume) to have romantic interactions. My google/NRaas search is coming up nil though.

NutsAndDolts

27th Nov 2011, 10:36 PM

That would make sense. I guess I was just kind of hoping for a mod that disallowed inbreeding entirely, haha.

LadyAwesome

27th Nov 2011, 11:12 PM

Yay this week I shall have time for a new chapter, I might do that this arvo actually after my pilaties. And I am building a new house. for a contest in the #create chatroom. I am excited.

I am still trying to get through the Archer legacy lol

GigaRevival

27th Nov 2011, 11:15 PM

Good luck with the contest LA. : )

I'm currently working on my next chapter, because homework is killing my brain. At least, that's the excuse I'm going with for now.

Edit: Becky; I'm with ya'. I would prefer absolutely no inbreeding at all. But them's the breaks, it seems.

calisims

27th Nov 2011, 11:21 PM

I'd prefer no inbreeding too, but with such a small pool of potential partners and limited ability to go outside your community to find mates, if it wasn't available, you'd eventually run into problems. If I get squicked out by it, I just remind myself that in Austen's era, marrying second cousins was not only acceptable, it was desirable, lol.

ReyaD

27th Nov 2011, 11:22 PM

Am I the only person here NOT against inbreeding? I dunno.

I mean, my family makes some fantastic looking kids if I say so myself. If I need to keep it in the family I will.

NutsAndDolts

28th Nov 2011, 12:29 AM

So, for once I edited the legacy challenge page. I changed some wording, took out extraneous words, cleaned up the black/blue thing because there were some mistakes, etc.

It was clearly supposed to go black, blue, black, blue... but in some places it was black blue blue black.

EDIT: This effed up again anyway. Hmmm. I'm looking into this blue black travesty again right now.

I also deleted the "compendium farming" from examples of sneaky exploits, since we'd agreed some time last year that compendium farming was permissible if one had rolled collector. It was covered under the word "alchemy"; I put what this means in parenthesis in the collector roll. Also at some point we'd decided it was also permissible to use gems from the miner or from breaking space rocks (both of which take more time than running across town and picking up a gem, in my opinion, but I remember we discussed it back in my first legacy, when I had a collector for gen 3).

I threw out the general rules "you can move blah blah" because that info was already stated in the "To Begin..." section directly above it.

I added the "you may make money...." paragraph to general rules instead of misc, since that's pretty important and a lot of people overlook it at first.

I changed the wording for "step children" quite a bit. It was confusing. Please look over this and discuss if you disagree with the new wording/provision. We eliminated all other rolls that kept your heir from reproducing, hence the addition I made, allowing you to produce at least one biological child, even if the step children already meet or exceed your child count.

I considered taking "choose a trait RANDOMLY" out of Runs in the Family, but I didn't do anything to it yet. Nobody seems to really choose this family trait randomly, and for story reasons most of us would probably like the option to do so. So, guys, can I change the wording for this goal, or should we leave it be? What do you think?

...Also why does having a child with the Butler count as multi-cultural? I know maid gives you an extra trait but... lol.

Also, the challenge runs "until the children considered to be the 10th generation die of old age". But by that point, the new generation will have taken over, with no goals unless you've rolled them. Should we change it to read "until the 10th generation completes all of its required goals, or until the 11th generation reaches YA, whichever comes last"?

...THIS post itself isn't the cleanest post but I like to think I helped the blog. x.x

ReyaD

28th Nov 2011, 1:04 AM

It really helped the blog, Becky thank you for all that work. <3

For "runs in the family" I'd agree with taking out the random aspect.

As for the end of the legacy I'd suggest making it the point where the gen 10 heir achieves his/her goals, at which point any "weekly" goals would also be considered done.

NutsAndDolts

28th Nov 2011, 1:17 AM

When the next heir takes over all weekly goals always end (thankfully). =D

But we're still allowed to work on other ones if they aren't complete. I remember my gen 2 this time did not complete property mogul until sometime after gen 3 took over.

I finally got the blue/black thing cleared up, I think. I went in and edited the HTML directly. Good thing I'm old and I can make sense of that stuff. v.v

Black/Black probably isn't the best way to make it more legible, but it's what we had there and it's better than nothing.

Lady Awesome, if you have any more suggestions for making it make more sense, let us know. ^.^

GigaRevival

28th Nov 2011, 1:52 AM

I guess the building thing is a challenge because we are not getting scored lol. I finished writing up the 5th chapter for the story comp too. Giga. are you as glad as I am for this contest to be coming to an end. Its been fun and all, but it is alot of work for everyone involved.

Yes I am. I can't imagine how difficult it was to come up with a chapter almost per week (especially considering I can't do that with my own legacy). Judging was hard too, no doubts about it. Congrats on making it this far!

And Becky, regarding your last question; yes. I am totally on-board with changing the 10th generation finish. Thanks for cleaning it up. It looks MUCH better.

Edit: None of Harper's children so far have come out with her blond hair. Boo!

Buckley

28th Nov 2011, 2:16 AM

Thanks for doing all that work Becky. I like the new wording for step parent. It reads well, imo. Also, I vote for taking out the word "random" from "runs in the family" because it's more fun to choose which trait you want for your kids. Finally, I think we should change the "challenge runs until..." line to your suggestion, the "whichever comes last" idea.

As for the multi-cultural butler issue, if we are counting service Sims as multi-cultural, then the butler should be allowed (I think). However, if service Sims are considered from a different culture, then what about role Sims like mixologists, stylists, and tattoo artists? Do they count as well?

Oh, I never liked the black/blue style personally. But if y'all like it, then it's no big deal. :)

GigaRevival

28th Nov 2011, 3:07 AM

I'm not really a big fan of the blue/black either, but I was an even bigger not-fan (it's a word now; don't judge me) of the weird color pattern that was on the blog prior. It was a bit of an eyesore. Good on ya' Becky for clearing that up. My eyes thank you too.

And I echo Buckley's question about multi-cultural sims: I always played it as ANY service sim (or role sim, as the Buckster put it) was considered a different culture; and then I read the rules again and had a big whoopsie moment - I seem to be having a lot of those recently. Definitely *accidentally* cheated on my last legacy.

28th Nov 2011, 3:28 AM

If I roll multi-cultural I'll probably add French or Egyptian culture to a new person in town, instead of traveling or relying on the supernatural. The rules don't say I can do that, but I'm gonna. =P

The rules also don't say that you can't do that so... why not?

(Two negatives totally make a positive)

LadyAwesome

28th Nov 2011, 3:33 AM

I'm totally agreeing with you guys on this one.

So I was thinking for my next generation.... Should I keep Ana in the town but I feel I have to restart the legacy, but keep the story since I failed in my next generation.

I am going to have to reset all her.... well everything I guess. But oh well. What is your guys take on this?

GigaRevival

28th Nov 2011, 3:35 AM

Apparently I didn't read that much into it. I just thought we were including service sims because, well... I don't know exactly. Hidden traits didn't even come into the equation. Goodness, it's embarrassing when you have a dense moment. :| I also didn't have WA at the time, so that counts an excuse, right? Right?! :faceslap:

ReyaD

28th Nov 2011, 3:40 AM

Giga: *Pat pat* Of course it counts, hunny.

So for the farmer roll, are we allowed to start the farm before the heir is of age to take over the farm? I had Marion start a farm since he has the green thumb trait and needs something to do, then rolled farmer for my gen 5 primary career. Would it be okay to continue with the farm and just let my farmer start his/her career with an awesome farm already set up?

LadyAwesome

28th Nov 2011, 3:44 AM

I don't see why not, especially since it is a legacy, and that the farm got passed down is a good thing. Makes it extra awesome.

calisims

28th Nov 2011, 3:56 AM

Thanks for all the work, Becky.
On the few times I've rolled Runs in the family, I've chosen the trait randomly, but I'm fine with it not being random. I just rolled it again, so I look forward to picking a trait for that.

The multi-cultural originally only included WA location Sims, and it was made as a way to have a WA based rule that didn't involve doing quests (which people wanted to save for the adventurer career). The supernatural was added after LN because someone suggested a separate roll for supernatural children, but some people (me) didn't want to be forced to have ghost/vamp babies. So the idea was rolled in as a option for multi-cultural. The role Sim and other stuff was added later, I don't remember why. So I don't care if that changes. I think it's fine to add Sims with culture traits to the neighborhood. Some custom hoods like Riverblossom Hills have them in place already, so it's only fair to allow players to add them.

And, I have an update:

LadyAwesome

28th Nov 2011, 4:24 AM

I might just do the whole move Ana out and start freash thing. but stay in the town so she can still see her family.

Buckley

28th Nov 2011, 4:37 AM

The service sim thing wasn't originally there. It was added later, and I don't quite remember why, but it involved some philosophical discussion about hidden traits.

I don't think it makes any sense at all to count ANY service sims as multicultural, unless you've gone in and added a foreign culture trait to them.

If I roll multi-cultural I'll probably add French or Egyptian culture to a new person in town, instead of traveling or relying on the supernatural. The rules don't say I can do that, but I'm gonna. =P
Oh, I didn't realize that the multi-cultural role centered around hidden traits. Whoops. I actually rolled multi-cultural for my generation 2, but as I haven't decided whether I'm going to travel or not I re-rolled. I didn't want to deal with supernaturals or service Sims either. If I get it again, I'll probably just do your idea about adding the hidden trait to a Sim that moves into town.

Cece, I don't think you have to start a new farm, but I don't believe you can sell any produce that your family harvested before your heir became a Y/A. But you may want to wait for Melissa or Becky or whoever to make an official ruling though. :)

*Thumbs up*

Personally that makes sense. I guess I'll just have a full fridge until Gen 5 is born.

... Would it be considered cheating to re-roll a boring generation? I won't, but I did consider it for a good half hour. I've been staring at this roll for a while and still have no interesting plot ideas for it.

NutsAndDolts

28th Nov 2011, 4:41 AM

Okay, I changed multi-cultural and runs in the family.

I threw out the service sims option and hopefully made the rest clearer. There are still lots of options aside from travel.

Also you can breed with the maid any other generation. It's just for multi-cultural, you gotta make her French now. ;)

You obviously don't fail if you're currently playing multi-cultural and using service sims. xD Or if you rolled this for an upcoming generation and were planning on use a service sim. By all means, stick to the plan.

Hopefully everybody's OK with this. Speak up if not.

Edit: I'll change farmer, too. This has come up before, and Buckley is correct. The heir may take over an existing garden, but if you have 600 apples in the fridge from his father's time gardening, sorry you still can't sell those, lol.

This is how I looked at that rule before (as in, you can only sell the stuff the Sim in the career has done), but I recall Martin saying that you could sell anything you have for it once you get into that career? So any paintings from previous generations once you get a painter, any fruits/veggies from previous generations once you get a gardener, etc. So um.. which is it? lol.

So any paintings from previous generations once you get a painter, any fruits/veggies from previous generations once you get a gardener, etc. So um.. which is it? lol.

:!: *ponders* *removes brain* *shakes brain* *watches information fall out*

Ah! There it is. I remember. You're right, Martin did say that about paintings.

Though it makes no sense to me personally. D=

"Ah, I am a famous painter. My grandmother did this crappy watercolor of a dog once though, any chance you'll buy that?"

If I had a painter and an unemployed sim, my unemployed sim could function as a painter under that logic, and not have to wait for opportunities to sell paintings because his/her partner could sell them. I feel this breaks the spirit of the challenge, where your sim has a career, and if they have hobbies they depend on random opportunity to make money.

We need to make the rules about these careers consistent, and add a note to general rules about them. Either (A) If you can sell everybody's paintings when you become a painter, you can sell everybody's produce when you roll farmer. Or (B) You may only sell what you harvest, and you may only sell what you paint.

So we'll need a consensus. Do you guys want to go with the restriction, or not?

Should it be A, or B? :deal:

So far, two votes for B.

Also. If you guys agree, I'm also going to add a rule that allows you to shift-click and delete any object from the home, rather than sell it. I don't consider it cheating, and when I brought it up before no one else did either. It's like, another of those unwritten allowances we should really write down. And it's the method I personally use to get rid of unwanted paintings and sculptures that weren't created by a sim who rolled artist.

teal_moonshine

28th Nov 2011, 12:59 PM

I like B.

calisims

28th Nov 2011, 1:03 PM

Yeah, I've been using the shift-click method of deleting unwanted sculptures, too. Getting it written down is a good idea.

I think when Martin came up with the idea of selling all the old paintings in the artist career, he was just wanting to lighten his inventory. If people are more aware of the ability to delete those items without selling them, then selling off old inventory is less of an issue.

And, Becky, thank you so much for all the work on the blog. :D

Redhead Creations

28th Nov 2011, 1:07 PM

Nuts, I'm with ya on that one. I couldn't understand why it would be ok to sell off old objects just because you rolled a career that falls over those items. I'm assuming it was a way to be able to rid the household of a bunch of stale inventory - but since the invention of the shift-click, all old and moldy objects can be poofed from existence! It's like the Sim is throwing the item into the trash, really.

I vote B!

In unrelated news, the freaking bane of my existence (the world I'm creating) is coming along, more than 1/2 the community lots are done. I want to put in some houses of my own, but it would take me three more years to fill all the lots soooooooo Melissa, would you mind if I used some of your houses?? =). (And if anyone feels like building - I'm more than happy to accept the help!!) =)

Added the clarifications we talked about, and changed the blue/black theme to purple/black in the rules portion (left it blue/black in the rolls section).

Not sure if this is better or worse on people's eyes, though it helped me find the rolls much quicker as I was scrolling down.

It doesn't mean no updates, I'm just a little obsessed with this sim right now :)

Meet Kenlee Day :D And yes, her name isn't real (I think), but it sounds really nice :) What do you think of her as a potential Marlin? (Or just a nice background sim in my legacy?)

She's heavier then she looks, though these are EA pants, they still seem to slim her too much. I plan on changing them soon though, I like her curvy :)

And I still have the shiny issue, it's more noticeable on really white surfaces. Bah, I guess it can't be alien magic then XP

Hi everybody :) i started this legacy last weekend :) so i am just going to jump in :) i'm working on a blog currently, but waiting untill i have enough pictures for a story before i will post the link here (ghehe, performance anxiety :))

Here's a bit about my family though:

Avian and Serena Crist:
Their background story's will become clear while the story goes on (so when i figured out how to do this lol)

Their roll:

Generation 1:
Marital Structure: Couple
Children: 1
Primary Income: Non-Standard Career: Freelance Scientist/Chem Addict)
Secondary Income: Non-Standard Career: Freelance Scientist/Chem Addict)
Generation Goal: Deadbeat Parents
Misc Fun: Homemade
Optional Pets Goal: Perfectionist

I also rolled for a 10G goal:
Remember the Past

I wasn't to pleased tbh, with my first roll ever! So i was really tempted to roll again, but then i figured that would take the fun and purpose out of this legacy......i do have a hard time coming up with a story. I find it hard for them to become deadbeat parents just with no reason :) so still working on that! But i am nearly there!!

I am already playing though :) taking loads of pictures etc, currently Serena just gave birth to the second generation. So i am going to try and work on the blog till i get to that point :)

I hope to have fun here and i will put some extra effort into reading the legacys of you lot as well!! :) (already tried, but noticed some legacys are nearly finished! What a reading i am up to then!!)

One question though, i read about the rerolling for careers, you can reroll if you have the same careers in nearby gens (like 1 and 2).........but what about my situation?? being stuck with two people that have the same career?? Does that count for a reroll?? or is it just very bad luck???

NutsAndDolts

29th Nov 2011, 3:04 PM

Welcome to the challenge! Personally I'd love your roll, except I'd re-roll for deadbeat parents since I've seen enough of those in real life to not want to be forced to do it in sims. And this challenge should be fun, lol. But some people have made cool stories out of deadbeat parents, and I look forward to seeing what you do.

We never discussed if the career re-roll should include a re-roll if you don't want both sims in one generation in the same job. It probably never occurred to us because many of us would find that to be, erm, ADORABLE. But I suppose we could add that exception to the rules, if the rest of you agree?

Keep in mind you wouldn't have to re-roll, but the option would be there. ^.~

calisims

29th Nov 2011, 3:23 PM

Welcome to the challenge, Klevkin.

A lot of us have already admitted there are some goals we just don't do because they'd ruin the fun for us, like Deadbeat Parents. But as Becky mentioned, some people have done great stories around that goal, so it's up to you.

I'd be fine with allowing a reroll for partners with the same career. I would personally hate to have two Sims doing the same Ambitions job in one generation.

Redhead Creations

29th Nov 2011, 3:54 PM

Hi Klevkin! Glad you're taking up the challenge! I can't wait to see what you do!

Regarding your roll and story - there is a lot of meat there! For one, both parents are in the same career, so that means they are totally career focused and perhaps the kid was a mistake. They never intended on having a kid because they don't want to distract from their great world changing experiments?

Or you could be creative with the backstory - since they're both scientists perhaps they "created" this kid on accident - a science experiment gone wrong - so they don't know how to relate or handle the kid (or even believe it to be human?!) so it's left to its own devices.

Those are just a couple ideas that came to mind. Just have fun with it! =)

CyyKosis

29th Nov 2011, 4:17 PM

@redhead, thank you for your advice!! i was going to go for the mistake indeed! Already have some juicy fighting pictures over her being pregnant! (i'll add one here :))
I figured out a backstory for why my sims are deadbeat parents, just need to fit it in my way of telling the story :S

@nutsanddolts yeah thats why i was put off at first as well, i find it hard to give them some caracter as it were, cause i can certainly not relate to them :) but well, my backstory has helped me play them a bit more..........

@calisims, i tend to always give my sims diff careers, so this roll was exactly the opposite of how i normally play..........well kind of the purpose when you start a random legacy at first right??? :D

PS. @redhead, are you going to continue your cagley legacy??? Your story was so great!! I am dying to know what happened to vincent!!

I'm going to have to move the family to another neighborhood - and I had been working on building a world for a LONG time now (I'm afraid to say it's been years!) - and thought this was the perfect way to kind of force me to finally get it finished. I'm almost 1/2 done completing all the community lots and have downloaded some houses to put in it - because trying to do them all myself would be a huge pain.

29th Nov 2011, 6:10 PM

When I had a farmer, sometimes I let his wife help in the garden because she constantly rolled wishes to do so. I just made sure the real gardener did the bulk of the work. I never allowed her to actually harvest the plants, only to water and weed them sometimes.

Not sure how to properly word that in the rules. It's kind of a special case; it wouldn't apply to stuff like artist. Where no, your spouse can't help you paint, lol.
Yeah, I thought it would be nice for the family to help out as something they did together & Jo starting to take an interest in what Joshua was doing as she stopped being so depressed, I didn't really think about the implications on the career side of things. I have tended to make Joshua do the harvesting and restricted the family to weeding and watering.

Perhaps if we want to allow an exception for the farmer career we could say something along the lines of "while your family may help in the garden, your heir/spouse (whichever is relevant) must do the bulk of the work and is the only one allowed to harvest produce"?

ReyaD

29th Nov 2011, 6:17 PM

Since you mention the ambitions careers, Melissa, I'm going to go ahead and add an option to re-roll if you get the same career for both primary and secondary in the same generation. x.x

EDIT: Added rule #15 to the legacy page. Please look over it and critique.

Buckley

29th Nov 2011, 8:25 PM

Hmm, I'm not sure about rule #15. It seems a bit... vague. I think it's a great idea to write down all those "unwritten" rules, but it might be better to leave that one unwritten? Although, I don't feel particularly strong either way.

Thanks for doing all that work on the blog Becky. It looks so much better! :)

NutsAndDolts

29th Nov 2011, 8:30 PM

It's just that new people may be immediately turned off by things such as deadbeat parents, or whatever nonsense, and don't realize we don't want anyone to play a goal that really makes them uncomfortable. I'm just not too sure on how to word it without saying "lol do whatever".

...Because it really IS saying "lol do whatever". =P

Buckley

29th Nov 2011, 8:32 PM

I see what you're saying Becky. It's a tricky rule to write. I guess, for me, rule #15 seems very common sense. If you hate one of the goals, don't play it. Before I ever started blogging or posting on the forum, I played a couple generations of this challenge and ended up re-rolling the "hands off" goal once. I didn't think it was hard enough. Also, I immediately knew I wouldn't play idle careers, even if I did roll for it. I just think it's somewhat obvious. Again though, I don't care either way.

EDIT: I guess you could always just say "If you hate one of the goals, then don't play it. However, you must be consistent from the start of your legacy to the end." Hah, I don't know. It is a tough one.

NutsAndDolts

29th Nov 2011, 8:37 PM

Common sense is outlawed on the Internet. O.O

You may be right though. I can just nix it. We'll see what the others think first, about whether it's an unwritten allowance that needs to be written.

Redhead Creations

29th Nov 2011, 8:59 PM

I'm with Colleen on this one, I think. Because I think people will do this anyway. There's a few rules that I re-roll for as well, such as Fashion Diva and and It's So You, because I do those things all the time in my own gameplay. Having something like "Born With It" (Can't we PLEASE change this rule to "Born This Way"? That would be hysterical) or even Deadbeat parents are good for a player like me, because those are things that I don't normally do.

I would hope people wouldn't feel so forced to do something they didn't like that they'd feel it's easier to abandon the idea of the challenge. But, again, there is no common sense on the interwebs! =)

That's a good point, Red. What we do and don't roll for is very... uh... nuanced, I guess.

I'm not doing no strangers anymore because it's like rolling nothing.

Trying to capture all of said nuance would make the rule very lengthy and bulky and confusing.

Klevkin

29th Nov 2011, 9:18 PM

I haven't read the rule yet, but I do get a feeling what its for, i'm not sure its necessary to make a rule about it.....if I wanted I could have rerolled and not tell anyone, who would ever know, its just that I started this legacy to also play the stuff I normally don't, like redhead says, people who play for that reason wouldn't mind to much with a goal like that, people who play for other reasons probably won't mind rolling again without telling?

Also......you have the option to reroll, you guys already added that, so perhaps you could clarify in there that it also counts for goals you don't want to play?

@lady, thanks for the hug haha!

NutsAndDolts

29th Nov 2011, 9:56 PM

I went ahead and removed rule #15. I didn't like the wording. I'm not overly concerned with it not being there in any form at all, since it doesn't affect ME, but if you guys want to figure out a way to make the spirit of the rule clear to new people, that's cool too.

For those of you who didn't see it, it went like this:

15. If you really hate a challenge objective, do not use it in your rolls, or just re-roll without penalty. This doesn't apply to combinations that seem nasty, such as five kids single parent. Provided you'd be okay with 5 kids, or with a single parent, and are only mad because you got both, you'd need to use your joker on that. ;) What rule #15 means is that if rolling something makes you very uncomfortable, don't use it. One example is Deadbeat Parents; some of us have seen enough of that in real life. Others don't mind rolling this objective and have created fantastic stories around it. Basically some challengers use all of the rolls, and some don't. This has gone as an unwritten rule for a long time because we didn't want to say "you can just blow off whatever you want". Therefore, try to decide what you really can't stomach beforehand.

Lady, I know what you mean - I am constantly behind the conversation here. =) BTW: I didn't even realize I haven't started your Legacy!!! I'm getting right on that!! haha

[EDIT] Nuts, if anything, perhaps something can be written up as a disclaimer in the optional section?

KaiRuh

29th Nov 2011, 10:19 PM

Yeah, I think it'd work better as a disclaimer than a "rule." Just to say that if a roll makes you uncomfortable or doesn't change your normal gameplay, you don't have to include it when you roll.

30th Nov 2011, 2:44 AM

I wish I had something to add to the conversation, but I can't really complain about Texas in the winter. It's not too bad, compared to New England/Pennsylvania/Canada. Although, we had a record number of days over 100 degrees this past summer. (I think we beat the record...) Still, even our summers aren't as hot as Arizona.

Texas is as pretty as an armpit though, unless you're in the hill country. Bleh, can't wait to move.

Same here about the sales, Teal. <3 I've missed them so much. Mom's giving me a shitload of money for boxing day shopping, which is why I'm not bitching about missing the beaches this year.

@teal, i started reading your legacy on my mobile yesterday (when my husband took control of the computer) and i had to read the first chapter twice!! Before i found out who was the guy hehe.

@red, ill take a look at your world as well :) gosh, i'm even prepared to build something for you if that will make you hurry up with your story :D (though i am not that good at building :) only shared one building of mine on TSR :) )

Seriously, i;m always a bit hesitant joining in topics that are this busy :) cause i live in a completely diff timezone :) i'm up, when you guys sleep!! (well most of the time, it's almost 9AM here) so i always do a lot of reading back. But at least now i can see the pros of it :) i also have the time to read up the blogs before someone comes with a new update haha.

I think i nearly got my own first chapter finished!

Right up until now, I never understood how handy the in game camera was.
Also ctrl+shift+c (I bet you know that one) testingcheatsenabled true.
again with c+s+c and hideheadlineeffects on hides speach bubbles and the plumbob then go back into c+s+c again and press up delete the on and type off. It turns it off again.

But other then that it was a nice chapter - awesome use of photoshop too :D Well done Klevkin. Your doing better then me already!

i found out about the cheat yesterday :) but didn't want to redo all those starting pics........didn't know about the press up bit!!! What's that with the in-game camera?? (feels a bit dumb :))

and thank you very much :D

as for photoshop.......be happy i didn't use photoshop :( if i start that up, i'd be spending more time editing the photos then playing :) i downloaded the newest version of paint, just to prevent that :lol: it allows you to work with layers and a few other small things, but not as extensive as photoshop :) (luckely!)

Update time again:- http://clemetislegacy.blogspot.com/2011/11/chapter-thirty-three.html

That brings me up to date in my game so the next update may be a while as my boyfriend is coming down this weekend :lovestruc

I'm in England where the weather is currently cold & wet but nothing like as bad as some of you have! I'm hoping for a return to our usual mild winters after the last three with lots of snow & ice (still not as much as some countries get, but because that sort of winter is relatively uncommon here we're never prepared for it!)

Redhead Creations

30th Nov 2011, 8:35 PM

Oh yes, Tab is "cameraman mode" and is excellent for getting those perfect shots! I miss my mod that I had that prevented Sims from "vanishing" so you could get REALLY up close and personal. That might have been in TS2, though, because I even remember you could get inside them and see the backside of their faces which was kinda creepy. haha

BTW, I'm late on chiming in, but I live in NYC and we definitely feel the cold in the winter! Haven't gotten our first snow yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

I'm late as well, but I'm in North Dakota and since the state is completely flat, there is nothing to hold back the wind. Seriously. We won the weather channel's most horrid weather or something like that due to the wind/freezing temps(winter weather is normally below 0 F here... no joke)/floods/cyclones/and everything else. I'm about to read the latest updates from the past day or so, and I'm super psyched to see that you've started your blog Klevkin! :)

Wow, snow! I can only remember snowing once in my city. It's around 60ºF here and I definitely feel cold, can't even imagine below 0ºF temperatures! lol, the joy of living in a mediterranean country.

On the subject of pictures, I'm ashamed to admit how many extraneous screenshots I took for my next two updates. Seriously, it's insane the number of photos I have in my screenshot folder right now. I got a little camera happy I guess.

EDIT: Okay, I'll tell y'all. 500+

...But it'll probably last for more chapters than I think. (I hope so anyways, lol.)

CinderEmma

1st Dec 2011, 12:14 AM

Down to 60, can't cut down anymore so the writing's going to be a bit short for a few scenes. (Though with anything Kipp, I have to expand it a lot so the sudden move isn't as bad...*sighs*) I just can't cut scenes here because I need Tylar to seem like she's been here a few days before the sudden move. Well, actually she was there 2-3 days, but usually it's 2-3 days per chapter XD
I delete what I don't use. For my next legacy, I plan on doing the outtake stuff, formatted like Melissa's, but I don't want to start it when I'm already close to finishing gen 2.

CinderEmma

1st Dec 2011, 12:35 AM

Most of mine are usable, I just have a lot of multiple shots, different angles, that sort of thing. So while they're usable, using them all would be repetitive XD

I want your opinion guys. Do you think using Photoshop (or equivalent programs) effect to make pictures work for a scene is alright? Like with Nathalie/Irish's dream scene, with Vincent (Red's legacy, right?) hypnotism scene with the vampire.

CyyKosis

1st Dec 2011, 12:45 AM

I don't see why not? We don't have any blogging rules in place. I personally haven't used them, but I haven't had a need for them so far.

Redhead Creations

1st Dec 2011, 12:59 AM

Oh, boy, you don't want to even know how many pictures I've taken for my legacy. I think Melissa and I have you both beat. =) I remember her saying that she takes about as many as I do. =)

And I don't see anything wrong with using Photoshop - especially when it's used to create something you can't do in game. And while I didn't use it for the scene with Vincent, I did use it for a "nightmare/flashback" shot of Morand's when he saw the woman "die" in the fire. But I would totally use it for a hypnotism scene as well. =)

I've seen some blogs where people have completely used photoshop on every image to give it a certain look - which can be very effective.

[EDIT] So, I just checked, out of morbid curiosity, and I have (for 29 chapters) a total of 2,422 screenshots. Ugh! That's an average of 84 pictures a chapter. (I have an illness)

our current weather is about the same as AJH has in england, though general rule is, that over here its a bit milder then in england :)

oh lol.........i always used the c-button when taking pictures in game, but seriously, i normally don't take pictures, wouldn't know what to do with it, so i am glad i found a purpose for those pics now ;)
And yes, i use paint.net as well :) sometimes i'm a bit slow on developments so i used the old paint that came with the computer, till i read somewhere that paint had introduced layers as well haha, then i downloaded that one :)

Tab... tab is my favourite key for taking photos. It lets me zoom in to get those really adorable shots of toddlers and facial expressions.
I was wondering how you got that many cute pic's of toddlers! i never seem to get close enough to get those cute faces clear enough!

Did you try a diff browser?? don't know what you are using right now? But maybe it will help you gain access to the site again.
If not, and you want the updates, you could pm me a list of what you need and the last date you updated. I am happy to help you out on that part and perhaps email the files or use dropbox to get them to you.
And seriously!! 127 pictures for one chapter??? I think i am going to be the person with the shortest chapters of all over here.......... lol i see you cut it down, can't you cut what you want to tell in two chapters?? And then use a major cliff hanger or something in the middle of it?? That way you don't have to cut out any scenes you don't want to miss, and you don't have that long chapter you don't want either :)

Klevkin: Is it the Microsoft Flight Simulator? Because I'll admit, that game is damn addicting. I would have been bummed too if there wasn't enough room on the computer to fly my pixelated plane! ; )

yes it is!! And when he mentioned it i knew what caused this problem, but pretended to not know and told him i'd check it out.......aparently he had been stressed all day about why the game didn't work..........so he was a bit pissed that i didn't tell him i knew what the cause was hahaha

it is also the reason why i have the luxury of two screens on the computer, so i can play the sims and read on the internet at the same time :lol:.

My husband downloaded some apps that give him some extras for the game, but he needed a second screen for them.........so he got one from the attic and installed it last week......and now he even wants a third to create a real cockpit effect on our desk!
But he also made the mistake a few years ago, when we bought this computer, to let me ehm....lack of proper english word, the process where you divide the memory on your computer in diff portions and diskdrives??. Well anyways, he let me do that.........and i figured the C drive didn't need that much, because we would install new stuff on diff drives...never realising games like the sims save the screens and everything else on the c drive..........even if you install the game itself on a diff drive :rofl:

Luckily we'll probably get a new one in about two or three months haha

^Ha. That's seriously great. I would have done exactly the same in your shoes; avert blame when needed. ; )

This conversation makes me want to find my Flight Simulator disk. I loved doing barrel rolls with the Boeing's. Brings back hilarious memories.

lol :D gonna ask him if he ever tried that :D he was flying an airbus yesterday (when he came to the discovery that the game magically worked again). Would be fun to see that doing a barrel roll :lol:

Thanks!

now all i need to do is wait till twallan comes online and notices he forgot to add the updated woohooer before i can play my game again..........

(stupid me went and replaced the scoring with the new version, but didn't notice the lack of the woohooer........so now my game crashes everytime)

lol :D its noon over here :D but someone on the nraas forum is already helping me, aparently its something else that is causing my problems, because the scoring hasn't been updated...so there should be no problems, so i am going to check out everything else i downloaded this morning and see what caused the problem (i might have a pretty good idea).

Oops; sorry. I went to sleep right after I posted.

One of the members on Twallan's site is hosting the Woohooer file temporarily on mediafire until Twallan updates.

Update! (Beat cha Giga!)

3.8 - Glimmer of Hope http://sabolegacy.blogspot.com/2011/12/38-glimmer-of-hope.html

Baby number 2 is born, Yuki breaks a heart and Watcher considered smacking herself for setting up a plot line without actually knowing how to end- oh wait. Nvm. I thought something up.

Now to head to class and play jeopardy for bonus marks.

^You win this round. *shakes fist*

So just for lulz, I had Harper find and befriend a unicorn and then set her neighbors house on fire... for science. Well Cedric, being the former firefighter that he is, decided to jump right in and put out the flames, but the game glitched and he got stuck in the room and no amount of reset sim would fix him (he would just spawn to a different portion of the room; it was weird). Anyway, he died and it was sad. Time to reload and pretend it never happened.
