Farewell Michelle - Legacy character passed away.

My first legacy character pased away last night from old age. Her name was Michelle and she was about 75/76 Sim 'days'.

I've been playing with this family since early 2009. I go in phases where I'll play solidly for a week or so then leave it for months. So that, combined with using cheats to prolong age etc means a long game. Earlier this year I decided I wouldn't do anything to prolong age with Michelle or her husband anymore, as their kids were catching up to them in the age stakes!

It's very silly, but when one of my favourite actors passed away in real life, I wanted them to live on in my game and live to be a happy old man. So I found a skin of him and his girlfriend, then used genetics to make a little toddler daughter. 

They moved in, and I played the game. Obviously the characters became my own with no resemblance (besides looks) to the real life people. 

Michelle was married to Heath for their entire adult lives. And though they sometimes were tempted to stray, they always stayed together.

 She reached the top of the Medical career early on and always had a great thirst for learning. She didn't have a lot of friends, but was very close to her eldest grandson, Kennedy.

They had 4 children together and adopted another (Lorna). 

Matilda, Xanthe, Monique (dec as child), Liam (dec as young adult), Lorna (dec as child).

They had a son and grand-daughter in law (Rohan and Zaelie) as well as the various partners their kids had over the years.

Their grandchildren are:

Kennedy - son of Matilda and Rohan Depp, married Zaelie Winter

Heath jnr - son of Xanthe and Rohan Depp (yes the same Rohan, it got complicated).

Acacia - daughter of Xanthe and James Dawson. 

Sheldon and Elaina - twins (boy & girl) of Xanthe and Rohan Depp.

Rhiannon - daughter of Liam and Sabine Depp (very scandalous!).

Joshua - son of Matilda and Declan Winter.

It was verys sweet the day she passed away. I had a feeling that it was near the end (even though this was my first character to die of old age... ever) so I got Heath to finish painting her portrait and hung it over the bar.

I threw a little party with close family. She danced with Kennedy, Matilda baked a cake. It was very quiet despite the hissy fit where Xanthe and her step-niece Zaelie had an arguement about Rohan and both stormed out.

Then Death came along with a hula girl and a lei and took her away. Heath buried her beside Liam under the trees.

Farewell Michelle. =)

 

Ok so I still owe you a house

I did finish that house and tried to upload it back in April/May 09 but unfortunately it was knocked back and I have to clean up the upload file before it'll be published. I haven't quite got the hang of that yet so for now, no house. Sorry guys!

Tips are welcome by the way. I just can't work out which items to remove. They all seem important.

Sugarcrest house is finally finished!

This has been a very long time coming. I originally uploaded this file for submission back in April 2007 (meaning I probably made it in 2006). However, I was never really happy with it and kept tweaking it.

During that time I was regularly adding screenshots of various parts of the house and I know several people were really hanging out for it.

I've finally got the house to a point where I was happy to share it after all this time. The Featured Artists at TSR have churned out some truly wonderful pieces over those 2 years I've been tweaking and have kindly made them TSRAA. I now had floors and walls I was really happy with (including making some of my own) that fit the house.

This lot really is huge. Anyone downloading it should really have a good think about the family that they want to occupy it as it has so much room it would be a waste if you didn't have the maximum number of Sims living there.

I'm happiest with the middle/ground floor as this has a great kitchen area, a huge conservatory/sunroom and some awesome open areas for formal dining. The bathrooms in this house were the first time I tried out the half walls and it gave me the opportunity to have large airy bathrooms while still having a little privacy for those using the bath.

The top floor has been designed so that it allows for a huge nursury at the front of the house. There's even an enclove for a wardrobe and changing table area. There is a huge open area in the middle of the floor which I've found makes a great spot for open living, library and games. Then there's a huge bathroom with double showers along with 2 other rooms to be used for bedrooms, studies etc.

I can't say I was 100% happy with the basement but seeing as the whole house was built on top of it, I didn't have much of an option to make amendments to the size of it. There's a massive pool with diving board and room for a couple of spas (not included due to file size). 2-3 toilets and a shower area. Then there's a couple of massive rooms that can be used as you like.

The house also has a large garden with birch trees. I can't really remember but I think one of them is even Sofal's swing tree. If not you could always add it. There's a working driveway and some lights.

This house has a lot od potential. Whilst the file uploaded to TSR has a very rustic and/or traditional feel, I found it looked best when decked out with modern furnishings and interiors. I would reccomend items from my bookmarked artists such as Lirunchik and Sunair to help with this. I also have a heap of snapshots if you want ideas. There is basic furnishing included but this place is really designed for the Simmer that has the time and creativity to gut it and make it their own. Think of it as a shell.

Enjoy! I'm so glad it's done. Now I can happily move on to my dark modern house, working name Eclipse.

Cheers
