Welcome to my legacy challenge story. If you don't know what a legacy is, visit www.legacychallenge.com And if you haven't read the previous parts, I strongly recommend you to!
And to those who've been following my legacy family from the very start - that's right, I'm back. And I am intended to complete the legacy. With stories, of course. The last time you saw Iris she was just graduated from college. Now she's back home and this is her new clothing. No luck looking for a job. Remember my little treasury room? I placed all the genie lamps I have and the re-nyu-porta-chug (or whatever that is spelled) bottles there for keeping. A better alignment. Gabriel brought home a Gamer career track reward. But it's getting crowded in that room and I don't really have where to put it. But I should rebuild the house anyway. Ellie painting portrait of Iris. Judging by this picture, this guy from the wishing well offered something to Ellie, something of those AL things, but I can't remember, it was a very long time ago. Portrait of Iris completed. Hector looking for a job in Music career. (He found it. I don't know if he found it when this picture was taken, but he found it for sure) Ellie's love number 30! And a WooHoo number 30 with him! That's an impossible want, yay! Look, the dog is watching. At first I thought I will wait for the birth of 5th generation and then rebuild the house celebrating the middle of the legacy, but I couldn't wait any longer. So this is how it looks now from the outside. A view to the inside. The kitchen-dining room. The main bedroom. Currently occupied by Iris. The nursery. The living room. The workout room on the left and the music room on the right. The dance room and behind it the Arts&Crafts room. A better look at the dance room. The current heir's room. Currently unoccupied, since Iris is an adult already. Another bedroom. Currently occupied by Ellie. And one more. Occupied by Gabriel, Hector (single beds) and Franklin (double bed). The sports and the helicopter (currently not owned by anyone). The playground.
And as you might have noticed, some of the career rewards are inside, in the corridors, some outside. Remember I had puppy twins? This is Lord. And this is Mara. All grown up. Hector making friends from the wishing well. He wants 30 best friends. Ellie really wanted to earn a badge in sewing, so I let her try. Yes! Finally! A ghost of Nicholas!!! Now I can be sure he died of starvation. I love it how you can see everything from the windows. A better view. Steven is trying to take Iris's book! Another looking for a job. She took Law thsi time. I was bored, I needed something new. So when Iris picked up the phone to call someone because her social was low, and since she's able to call anyone because of the OFB rewards I thought I would make her befriend a witch. Iris really fits to be a good witch, don't you think? We'll know soon enough... Done! Meet Iris Legacy the Nice witch. Her first spell. Look how pretty she made the lot look. I think she's very proud of herself. The tea set in her bedroom (which I only put here because I didn't know how else to fill the space) was replaced with the witch stuff. Ellie was earning badges one after another. She constantly does that. But no actual spell. Just waving with that. I just loved this picture of Donna behind the window. Benny. Benny? Time to go already? It's so sad when pets die, even in sims. Iris tries to frame her face thinking how to pose for the best result. And Ellie is secretly thinking of selling the painting for lots of money.
Since it was a long time since I last played I forgot that I already had a picture of Iris and I thought I still need one. Ellie: "Don't worry, Iris, I've sold lots of masterpieces already, I can do a good portrait." Franklin, she's your sister, what are you doing looking like that at her! Seriously, look at his face! Portrait of Iris in progress. Iris loves posing. A closer look. I even considered this for a cover. Iris, why are you crying? The painting is looking great so far. Come on, seriously! See? It's good. I can see you like it, Iris. And Ellie is still secretly thinking of money. And so I noticed I already had her portrait. One had to go now, one had to stay. I decided that the one I had already looked better with the other 3, so Blair's painting was taken from the hobby rewards wall and placed in the living room. And the Iris-as-a-witch portrait took it's place. Iris still has her old haircut when sleeping. She looks so funny in this receptionist work outfit and the witch hat. Since Benny died, I have room for one sim. Iris invited Cole as a houseguest, but she was at work when he arrived, so Ellie greeted him. Cole!!! You are engaged to Iris! Lord just lost a fight to a cat. Poor Lord. Iris is back! Ellie was keeping Cole busy all day. That's what I call a proper greating. An immediate marriage. Because I was too lazy to throw party. ... Kiss. I could swear she said something like "My broom!". Off you go shopping. Back so soon? Look, Hector isn't surprised at all that his sister is flying. A slight change. I got a little tired of the witch outfit and this looks good even with the hat. A clothing change for Cole. I made him try out every possible hobby. Every possible!!! He didn't show any of them as his pre-destined. I thought that was weird, then I put the lot debugger on the lot and clicked "one true hobby". It allows to change that and shows which already is, as it's greyed out, so you can't choose it. He DIDN'T HAVE a pre-destined hobby!!! That's right, your wife is a wicth, but she can't help with that. Happy couple together. I was considering to change his looks with the Show Business reward, but oh well, I got used to him. Hopefully their children will be as pretty as Iris. Looking for a job. His LTW is to reach golden anniversary, so I could give him anything. I chose Law Enforcement. "Yes, sir!" Iris, you still look funny in your working uniform and a witch hat. Hector is starting to make rich friends. That's Mr. Big there. Poof Franklin, pet ghosts are scary too. Iris reached maximum goodness. Two men speaking of love. But Gabriel never had love. Ally grew up to elder. There she is. Even that is sad, knowing she will die soon... Cole likes his job, he's cheering about it (or singing? what is it they do?) every time when he gets home. I got tired of the witch hat too. Iris has her hair back. Don't worry, Iris. You still sparkle. See, he loves his job. But I got tired of that hair too. She's not a teenager any more, she has to look more mature. And I think this is just right. She looks so pretty now! This is Hector's final 3. He has 30 best friends now. Iris starts crying every time she's being painted. Anyone know why? I couldn't resist painting the new Iris. She's just too beautiful. And I couldn't resist taking a picture of a close-up. I also was considering this for a cover. See, Iris, the painting is good, no need to cry. Painting on the wall in the living room. Touchy sims. What's the big deal about the chess game? Ok ok he was cheating, but that's not the end of the world. Careful, Gabriel. She hates you. Talking of sunshine won't help. Besides, it's night. Mara is making some interesting friends. Leroy is old already. I missed the moment of aging, didn't expect it so soon. Hector brought home a Music career reward. I replaced the guitar with that. And added some lights to the music room. And Iris brought home a Law career reward. (oops... I forgot to paint the balcony walls.) What the...? My screen suddenly focused on her (like it does on a pregnant sim for example) And there was fire! She leaves fire with every step! See? Caught the moment. Now she'll step forward and the fire will stay. Has it something to do with her being too hot? She still does that, without actually casting a spell. Iris, I know you're proud of yourself being good. Since he doesn't care anyway, I'll make him earn half a point for me and another Arts&Crafts hobby reward. Gabriel is in the Gamer career track. He has max games hobby enthusiasm. I got a chance card saying he's playing a game at work and should he show his boss who caught him or attempt to hide it. I chose show and he got demoted. A gamer demoted for playing a game? Cole's first encounter with ghosts. That's Caroline. Looks like she's about to cast a spell on that woman she brought home from work. But now. It's time for Ellie already... The hula dancers. Look how shocked she is. But now she looks happy. Is it the drink? That's my third fortune grave. I could have made a ghost color instead, but she's my sim, born in the game, I couldn't kill her. Franklin is so sad. He should have died too, but I guess with twins the grimmy only takes one, and comes for another the next day. Same was with Beatrice and Caroline. Maybe he can't take two in one day? Franklin adopted Abbey. Hopefully she will get along well with Lord. Franklin's time to die the other day. Look at his face. He doesn't want to go. He changed his mind now. Maybe grimmy said he'll get to see his sister again? My first pleasure grave. I mean first ever. Not in the legacy, first ever in my game. I only need the grilled cheese grave for my first complete collection. Baby making time. Yes, Iris, the guess is right, you'll have a baby. And yes, it's the result of that. And if you don't have a girl, I'll make you go through the process and the morning sickness all over again. Cole painting. He wants to try sewing, but I can't imagine a man sewing. So he'll be painting. Morning sickness not in the morning. Gabriel became old. But what's funny he now looks much more handsome than he ever did at earlier life stages. I know, Iris, I know... Look at her expression. And now the shock. It amazes me how they are always surprised. A clothing change for Gabriel. Franklin crying. And there was a thought bubble showing the grave a second ago, didn't catch it. Franklin, are you sad that you died? Iris wasn't scared by him or anything, but she thinks of him. Maybe she can sense him? Being the witch you know, supernatural stuff? Alice! It's not nice to scare elder sims. See, he even wet himself. Not so surprised the second time. What? Leroy??? Now!!! How can it be!!! Ally is older, he only became an elder a few days ago!!!
It's really weird, Ally was supposed to die first. Go fetch the stick to heaven, boy... Time for Lord's and Abbey's pet woohoo. Cole brought home a career reward. It's not nice to scare pregnant ladies, Ellie!!! Or are you jealous she's alive and you're dead? Or are you jealous she's pregnant and you never were? You weren't a family sim, even not the secondary! Ellie's ghost. Baby time. Sh, you'll wake your husband. And it's a girl! Meet the little heir - Juliana.
Or if she turns out ugly, I'll kill her in her teens, get myself a ghost color and another heir.
I should count the points now.
Legacy 4,5
Money 10 (and even with 1 to overflow!)
Family friends 10
Impossible wants 10
Platinum graves 4,5
Ghosts 1,5
Business 5
Family breed 5
Seasons 6
Bon voyage 7
Free time 3,5
Collections 5 or 6 I think... I'll have to re-count the elixir bottles when back on the lot.
Overflow 10 Time for Ally to go too. She has mommy's skin and daddy's hair. Hector reached the top of Music career, just in time. A day before becoming an elder. And Abbey gave birth to little puppy Sam. I could go on and on and on about my legacy family. I missed them so much, I haven't even noticed how I played too much to fit in one story. And even now it is longer than I ever written. I'm truly half way through now. My 5th generation was born. It's all easier now. The boring stage is generations 3-4 when you can lose all interest. Mine is back. I hope to complete the full 10 generations. Thank you to all who have read and commented and supported me. The fact that I had readers kept me going when I wanted to stop. Thank you all, you know who you are.
I'll leave you with a random picture of a burglar dancing at a Music&Dance hobby lot. Hopefully the next part will be out soon!

    \:D You're back! There were many things I wanted to say in the comment but one of my friends disturbed me with an e-mail and now I forgot, hehe...About Iris crying when being painted...maybe she's shy? Not that it would make any sence, but still. And I really like the house, it looks great! Ahh and I wanted to ask one thing...Maybe it's a stupid question but what are OBF rewards? Or maybe I know...Is she a popularity sim?\:\)
