I wanted to make a pretty family picture for a cover but I guess it didn't turn out as good as I planned. Oh well, good luck to me next time.
This is the story of my attempt to do a legacy challenge, if you haven't read the previous parts, please take your time to do it.
As for those who have read - I am so sorry it took so long for this part to reach you! I just got tired of this challenge a bit and I wanted to play my other families. Please rate, so the story stays in the exchange until I finish.

As for those who have read - I am so sorry it took so long for this part to reach you! I just got tired of this challenge a bit and I wanted to play my other families. Please rate, so the story stays in the exchange until I finish. I am not yet sure which girl will continue my legacy, so both of them are now spending lots of time painting - improving creativity and gaining enthusiasm in Arts&Crafts. Standing all day (you can't paint while lying on the sofa, you know) is not very pleasant and a family dinner with Jace's special comfort soup is just a thing needed. Now when the girls are no longer in need of so much attention, Amanda can get back to her business. She had lots of money left after building at home and it's not very good for a 9 level business to have only few walls and be all outside, right? The shop needed to be built, so this is the result. Amanda is selling misc stuff, but it's mostly arts. And as soon as she, her family and her employs improve their badges in pottery, the shop will consist mostly of crafted items. But for now some sculptures will do just fine. That evening when Amanda got home from work she already had just one more day left before growing up. Good thing is, that day she came home promoted! Amanda is now Chief Of Staff. It was her lifetime want, remember? So she now got permanent platinum mood and that was the last thing needed to max out her lifetime aspiration meter (or whatever that's called, the one with points...). The same evening she met a male dog Rover and adopted him. Need to think of continuing the family breed! With only one day of adulthood left there were still things to do, like visit Far East, which she haven't done yet. Early in the morning Amanda packed her stuff and gone on vacation. Alone. Jace needs to stay with the girls. Amanda already learned Tai Chi from one of her employees, she was doing it every single free moment. Beginners luck is not a myth. It was the first time Amanda tried to play Mahjong, but she won! Toss a coin and make a wish... See the green light? The wish will come true. Who said it can't rain money? There was a pop-up saying "You will encounter vast fortune". It may look scary, but it's absolutely harmless. After the "rain" stopped, Amanda got some money. I missed the exact number, but it was somewhere around a thousand. A 4-digit number for sure. The Ninja! Unfortunately, he stopped between the wall and a fence - unreachable, so Amanda couldn't talk to him. She can try next time, lets try a new massage at first. Sorry the picture is so dark... It's the secret lot, found on the map. It didn't look so dark in the game as it is in the picture... And this is the Wise Old Man. Amanda took her time to serve some tea and chat with the guy a little. And then she made it the easy way - befriended him with a VooDoo doll. Then he told her the Dragon Legend and gave her the scroll with it. To tell the world, of course. There comes the ninja again! But unfortunately all the times she saw him, she never got the answer right and he would disappear again... And on the last day of vacation, when I lost my hope, she finally got the answer right! You know it's fun to scare other sims teleporting between them :) It was the last thing to do here, so after learning to teleport Amanda got back to the hotel and checked out. Soon she was home again, to prepare for her birthday and do some other important stuff. Like invite the headmaster for dinner! And grow up just before his eyes... Well I wasnt planning that, but since he accepted both girls to private school right after, I don't really care. Looks great for an elder, don't you think so? Custom hair and clothing makes miracles :) You know what this is? It's a lucky star! Because with it Amanda's "Legacy shop" reached level 10. Now all she has to do is keep it this way. Caroline was the first to reach maximum enthusiasm in Arts&Crafts. It's easier when you have a natural talent for that. Amanda spent quite a few days and nights digging until she finally found a treasure. Now she has 44 of 45 vacation mementos. All she has to do is have 2 more good vacations and there will be all of them. Those pension checks coming every day did their job. Amanda fulfilled an "impossible want" - she earned 100,000 simoleons! Beatrice also managed to gain maximum enthusiasm in Arts&Crafts while still a child. And this is what you can make with a gold pottery talent badge. Yes, she did it. And that also means I'm going to change the Legacy shop a little. And when I think it's done, I will upload it on my sim page. Please rate if you download. Should be there in a few days after this story is. Both girls reached level 9 in creativity. And it's time to grow up for them. I rolled a Fortune aspiration for Beatrice and Family for Caroline. Since I believe sim child's wants tell us what aspiration should they have, if it was my choice, I would give Popularity or Romance to Beatrice and Knowledge to Caroline. But it still makes sense in a way. Beatrice is a perfect copy of her mother and she got her aspiration. Caroline has daddy's eyes, looks more like him and has the same natural talent as him, so she got his aspiration. I know the dice didn't know that, but still, it's cute. Beatrice rolled up a lifetime want of becoming a Criminal Mastermind and Caroline - graduate 3 children from college. I think Beatrice will continue my legacy. She is prettier, has a better personality and a Fortune aspiration is perfect for all the business stuff. I just changed her clothing, as you can see in the picture. Pet WooHoo!!! Lilu is just 8 days away from getting old, her final promotion is tomorrow, she learned all the pet skills, it's time to breed. Not all growing ups are as fun as for Beatrice and Caroline. Grimalkin grew up to elder the other morning. And as if that wouldn't be enough, Cleo died... You know it really looks so dramatic with all the other dogs howling around her. Our legacy family breed founder. She will be missed. She took her place near Max, whose ghost still appears sometimes digging the invisible holes and running around as he used to when he was alive... That's Cleo's ghost. Yep, they come by day, not always night... Caroline maximized creativity skill! That means masterpieces coming up. And a faster learning of pottery. I made this wall on the side of a lot to count how many of my sims have Arts&Crafts awards for max enthusiasm. It is 20 squares long, each one half a point - full would make it all 10. Of course, Amanda's is not included, it doesn't count. Amanda's is on the other side of the wall. Here all the different ones will be. I hope to collect them all. And since there is only 10 of them, the space left on the other side will be used for fish. There are all the different fishies we have by now. Lilu gave birth to a little puppy! I named him Scraps. A daylight view for you to see better. And this is a little room for all the vacation souvenirs. One of each, to see if I already have everything. Amanda went on vacation again. She had some more important things to do on that island. The girls can come later, this time she is going alone. One of the important things to do was visit the Witch Doctor again. You can see him having fun with electricity in this picture :) He gave Amanda another VooDoo doll right after she finished fixing his stuff.
(I need one in her inventory, to use on people, and one in the souvenir room!) After recieving a gift she went to the beach, to find some seashells. And found a crab instead... Well, not only a crab. She found everything she was looking for, actually. And went home. I asked Beatrice to find a job, to see how many family friends we have. And it was 41 already! That's not only all the 10 points, but even with overflow! I wish Amanda had rolled her secondary aspiration popularity... She had 30 best friends. And I will have to do that again with a popularity sim, hate that want.
But her worries about things-must-do weren't over. There was another vacation waiting. The mountains this time. Stupid me, I forgot to give her a map to mountains secret lot, so she had to dig for it. To come visit our old friend and ask him to move in. With a VooDoo doll's help it didn't take long to make him a friend and he was happy to join the family. This is a Bigfoot Hug. When Amanda went home, he was already there, waiting. And by the way, that was Amanda's 5th good vacation, that means all the vacation mementos collected! Bigfoot had all the fishes we were missing and even a boot in his inventory. So we have a full collection. And our room of souvenirs is full. It has everything possible to collect. Even a few of some items. A view from a different angle. I built a second floor. It's not much yet, but enough for our new furry friend. Blair Bigfoot happened to be a knowledge aspiration sim with all skills maximized (an impossible want fulfilled) and with all golden talent badges (a point to business category when he dies). He had a lifetime want to become Chief Of Staff. But I already have that career reward and besides it would be just too weird to have such a doctor, do you agree with me? So I found him a job in a Military career track. It's his uniform! I know, funny. I usually don't like building, but recently I want to build a lot and I built a nightclub in my neighbourhood. I called it Legacy Club and Amanda bought it as soon as she had enough money. A second business of my Legacy family. This is the second floor. Scraps grew up to adult! Wow, I really like him. He's so pretty. When Blair got home there was a pop-up saying something like "He impressed his co-workers so much, that they gave him a present." So this is the present you see in the picture. There you see a ghost scaring Beatrice. Yes, pet ghosts can also scare your sims! I didn't know that actually. I hate burglars. Especially when I don't have alarms in the house. And I hate them even more when I have alarms installed in cars and they come from the different side of a lot, so those alarms don't care about a burglar. Annoying. Then you have to wake one of your sims to call the police. But this time I got lucky... One of my sims woke up by himself! His energy wasn't even near to full, but he woke up and headed straight to the burglar. The interaction shown on the icon in the top left corner was "scare burglar". He WAS scared! Look at the puddle at his feet. And that's a policeman, I woke up Jace to call. But he wasn't needed anymore... The burglar ran away scared and ashamed. The gypsy came to visit. Left us a present by the door. The lamp again. This time it was to Blair Bigfoot. Lucky him! And he got something home from work again. Actually he does it everyday. It usually says he impressed his co-workers and they gave him a gift and he wants to show it to the family, so I find the "gift" at the mailbox. But sometimes it's something that can't be placed on the ground (like a microwave), then a pop-up says he had taken something home from work that he thought his family would like and an item is in his inventory. If you have a few bigfoots working in a same place that office should look pretty empty someday... Blair met the Genie. He used only one wish and asked for a permanent platinum mood. Lets save wishes for later. Blair tried different activities until he said he likes Music&Dance. He was living wild and free, I took him to some kind of a civilised home, so I can't force him do something he wouldn't like. Let the furry guy have his hobby. I let him play the violin. That's pretty with his max creativity skill. Speaking of max creativity skill, Beatrice finally did it. Meanwhile her sister Caroline has a bronze pottery badge already. Beatrice seems not to like pottery. I ask her to "Make many", but she still makes one item and walks away to do something else. O well, let it be, she can paint for her Arts&Crafts enthusiasm. Blair got an invitation to a secret lot very soon. His talent wasn't unnoticed! I just liked a picture of a DJ. I loved Nightlife EP and the nightclubs. You can make pretty pictures there. Max and Lilu grew up to elders. Lilu retired. Why work when they can just sit there enjoying their little happy lives. Which end up so soon... Grimalkin died. He took his place near Cleo's grave. It's always sad to see them go. Caroline had a want to have a Very First Kiss and I didn't want to make her wait till college. She wasn't bringing home any guys from school, so Amanda brought home someone for her. It's Ricky, her employee, works as a bartender in a club. They became friends very soon. Old ladies taking over the dance floor! It just looked funny :) The next day Reaper came to visit again. This time it wasn't a pet... It was Jace. For him it was just a lifetime long vacation with the hula-dancers. I hope he is having fun somewhere in a sim heaven. Caroline didn't want to wait for lifetime relationship to grow, so she borrowed Amanda's VooDoo doll. And there you go - instant romance! The attempt ended up in a passionate kiss... They come, they go. Amanda adopted a female puppy. Scraps is just a step away from the top of his career and has learned everything a dog needs to learn. Time to continue breeding. There is the little one. I named her Doris. Oops... Amanda, you just lost your husband, what the hell are you doing!!! She was just lying there, counting the stars in the sky, I was watching the costumers inside the club and I overlooked how this guy came to hug her. It ended up with love, since they have known each other for a long time... And how is that. Dream on, Roger, you won't get to marry her. Remember the funny looking reporter? He's back! I thought he would give us another good review, but he just bought some stuff and left. Beatrice didn't have a want of a first kiss, but I couldn't leave it that way. She was constantly bringing this guy home from school, so they flirted a little and kissed for the first time. It didn't take long for Blair to reach max enthusiasm in Music&Dance. And with this happy note I will leave you for now... The next time we meet, Beatrice and Caroline will go to college, first vacations and probably meet their lifetime loves. Until then!
