6.06 Growing (Fang) Pains

Welcome back! It’s Eliza painting in the art room!

She’s sent to Moonwood Mill to try and find a Lunar fish! And guess what? She does!

We return home briefly to check on the child. Emmie is doing great, and mastering her communication skill.

Nancy and Jacob are busy becoming swol af.

With our luck so good, we head off to the magical tree!

Eliza: If I don’t get an angler fish, I give up

Me too. Honestly. I never had this much trouble.

One jumps out of the water as if signaling us that this is our lucky day and…

WE DID IT. WE DID IT. YES YES YES!! THE LAST TWO FISH!! FISHING COLLECTIONG DONE.

May I never have to pick up a pole in this legacy again.

Eliza: I suppose its time then.

I suppose it is.

These drinks will reset her and Caleb’s points. They will no longer be immune to the sun. Its a beautiful sunny day too.

They share one last kiss. Eliza was a little unfaithful, but Caleb truly loved her at least.

Together they drink. Caleb is over 300 days old, Eliza is just over 90. This is about the time she’d naturally die anyway.

They do some yoga to keep them outside. They’re getting crispy.

Eliza: I thought I was immortal.

Not in my legacy you ain’t.

One down, one to go.

And that’s two.

Grim: Been chasing those two a while. Maybe Lilith will be next?

Doubtful. I’m not in control of her bud.

This is a cuteness check, to cleanse you of the horrible things I’ve just done.

Nancy keeps working. The collection is on the floor behind her. It might get a shelf or two eventually, but I’m not sure.

Jacob and Nancy have a friendly brawl. Yes I tried to give them tails. No it didn’t work out, but its weird that they don’t have them imo.

Emmie is learning at a slow rate but thats okay. I love her anyway.

Nancy is back on another adventure. She’s taking after her mother and is almost always flirty anymore. I know her and Jacob can have more kids, but we wouldn’t be able to have a vote anyway, so Emmie will be having the standard 3 babies to vote from.

I won’t bore you guys with too many pictures because I’m sure you’ve seen it all before. She does do the diggy-dig about 90% of her trip.

5% of her trip is spent like this. The other 5% is spent tending to her needs.

Frightening indeed. She was fine in a few moments but man. What a glitch.

Nancy why do you always stand threateningly behind NPCs?

Nancy: I just want friends, I’m not a threat.

Jacob: Where’s the baby? I swear she was just here

Emmie: I’m right here daddy!

She and Jacob are best friends and its so damn cute.

That doesn’t mean that Jacob doesn’t have time for Nancy of course. I think the two are happy to be the matron and patron of the house.

Emmie finishes her movement here and looks super cute. I love the little wolf sweater.

Oh and here’s the collection so far. Not that great, sadly. Lots more trips in the future though I probably won’t capture them.

Jacob: Uhhhh watcher?! Help?!!

Huh, that’s weird.

Well that’s the third death this chapter. New record. Also she’s the second stranger to die on the family’s lot. The last one died in Helen’s generation.

Well whatever. Birthday time for Emmie! Happy birthday Emmie!

She ages up behind her father, refusing to let us look before shes ready.

Here she is! She’s so cute! She’s gotta potty real bad though so thats why she looks so miserable.

Wow… uh… Jacob has gotten ripped. You could grate some cheese on those abs wow.

Poor dear couldn’t find a bed despite the fact there are five or six upstairs. I assigned her one in the child bedroom.

Nancy: I hate this.

We’re almost done with the collection, don’t complain.

It’d go faster if everyone left her alone downstairs, but Emmie and Jacob cannot leave her alone.

And then whatshisface comes by. I have Emmie distract him, though I’d like to point out he came to his house barefoot.

Poor Emmie, shes almost always in a bad mood because her growing and fang pains. Apparently werewolf children don’t even get a break from being angry all the time. Shes certainly getting cured.

This is just so weird. To see her run when shes in human form. Its odd.

Jacob has been assigned to take care of the small garden since Nancy hates it. When Emmie comes of age, she’ll probably get the task.

To take a break and have a little fun, Nancy is working on refining this crystal.

Then assembling this totem. She doesn’t look very happy about it. But it’ll be a boon… I hope. But with that somewhat ominous note, I’ll wrap up the chapter. I’ve not played any further ahead, but I’m hoping the next chapter will be the last of generation six. I’m eager to start generation seven already.

6.05 WeeWhoo

Hey guys, its been a while. My life has been completely up and down but goddang it I wanna finish this legacy, so I’m back (for who knows how long). The goal is to get to generation 9 before I can’t stand Sims again. That being said, lets go.

This is a belly check. Nancy is well into her pregnancy.

Eliza: Raw meat has to be good for the baby.

Nancy: You literally drank blood the entire time you were pregnant with me

Look ma! No hands!

It’s the weekend, and no Eliza doesn’t ever take off her uniform. She’s doing the fishing we need here, and yes she does get it done. At least I think she does. These pictures are from June.

Nancy finds out that its better to not use your hands to clear the branches. Especially if you still hate gardening.

She also gets some digging done. Our goal is to get as many of the items as possible right now. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother coming to the jungle. I miss World Adventures from Sims 3.

Nancy: I have eternal resting bitch face

You really do. You always look so unimpressed but you’re pretty

She hates it. She hates working with the table so much. She often stops to throw fits.

Nancy: I am MISERABLE.

I probably forgot to let her eat again. Transforming can’t be good for the baby though.

A few hours and a rare steak later, and shes happy. Caleb pretends his little girl doesn’t turn into a literal raging beast every few hours.

Nancy: Hey mom, what does it feel like to go into labor?

Eliza: Uhh… Why?

Because its baby time!!

A girl! Her name is Emmeline! Or Emmie for short. Of course, she gets her name from a female protester in the 1960s (i believe) who fought for women’s rights!

I’m not sure if she takes after her father or if the game is just glitchy as normal. I hope she takes after her father. It’d be nice to see a change in skin tone.

Two hours after giving birth, Nancy is back out on the campaign grind. Shes never going to become leader of the free world if she doesn’t work for it!

Jacob is a very active father. If Emmie so much as whimpers, hes right there.

Nancy: Hehe cat toast.

I think I kept that picture haha

Nancy: Hey guess what? Great news!

Jacob: What? Chicken butt?

No! Nancy got her final promotion! We can have an actual house now! And as many kids as we want!

And that’s how the family ended up in an empty lot. Now I’m not gonna lie, I spent three days mostly building the house. I ran out of steam at one point and well, its mostly unfinished. I work on it here and there, but I don’t like building big houses and they had a lot of money to burn through.

But Jacob finds their TV right away in their living room.

While grandpa Caleb goes to age up Emmie.

Toss the baby!

And after the makeover shes completely adorable.

This was my first sight coming back to the game about a month ago. I was confused until I found out that those are her work clothes.

The yard was left a mess from my building.

And the outside of the house was somehow incomplete? I don’t know what I was doing or if I was drunk doing it.

Nancy goes human again in the toddler room. Its very purple for some reason.

Caleb is teaching Emmie her skills. He’s a great grandfather. He’s been around a while though and its starting to feel almost cheaty.

I love that Emmie has her mother and grandfather’s grey eyes though. Shes so damn cute. I really like these defaults but I found ones I like better recently.

But its time for another important event. Emmie held off her mother’s aging for a bit but its time.

Make a wish Nancy!

Nancy: I’m old! Oh no!

Though with a new makeover she looks like a soccer mom and I love it. I think that’s gonna be it for this chapter. Next chapter, devious things happen and Emmie becomes a child!

6.04 Its Time!

It almost seems cheaty that Eliza is still around. Plus Nancy is older than her now which seems extra cheaty. I’m gonna have to think of what to do with her and Caleb. But welcome back to another Nano chapter of the Riley’s.

Eliza: A WEREWOLF HELP.

You are literally a master vampire, Eliza. You’re like 80 days old. Calm down.

Its the full moon and you all know what that means. Let Jacob and Nancy destroy Moonwood Mills while Nancy fishes.

We’re looking for a Lunar fish. I’ve caught one in all my other save files. Can I catch one on this save file? Nope (:

On that note, super big shoutout to Booplays bc they’re giving me advice on catching an angler. I don’t catch one in this chapter (haven’t played over the weekend, these pictures are from last Thursday) but like. Soon.

Nancy: I am the Big Bad Wolf.

You’re a cutie.

Oh wait, she was snarling at this ghost. Apparently they smell just as bad as vampires. Sorry about your nose, Nanc.

At the bar are 2 “aliens”. We do need an alien in the legacy. I’m not sure if Nancy’s future daughter will marry an alien or a mermaid. We’re working our way through Supernaturals right now though, so we’ll figure it out.

The people are all adults but maybe they’ll have alien kids?

Jacob what the heck?!

Jacob: They were in my way (:

They’re not dead, don’t worry. I think they just fainted because they’re scared of him.

Nancy: I could take her.

She is literally 300 days old, Nancy. No you can’t. Stop. That’s your aunt anyway.

Nancy: I am constantly filled with rage.

Its because you’re an idiot and keep eating regular food when all you want is raw, fresh meat.

She’s doing more wellness activities now. I know its not actually going to keep her from building rage, but it looks good at least.

The next day!! We complete this!! Moonwood Mills collection done!! As I’ve said before, I will not be counting points for collections until the end of the challenge, as all items must be on the lot. Therefore, nothing counts to the end. In my head anyway.

Eliza, this is not how you go.

Also this picture is hilarious because everyone has a different reaction to being air dropped in the middle of a jungle. Every weekend, they’ll now spend their time here I think. We need to complete these collections. I want to finish at least 5 collections and I have 3 done so far.

Nancy stops to get some supplies from the market real quick. Doesn’t look shady at all. Or like shes trying to peel that man’s skin off.

She clears the vines with her hands and declares she hates gardening. Which, you know. Fair.

She quickly discovers this area, opens the treasure chest and gets her ass cursed. All her needs drop randomly, but a potion cures that quick.

She also starts digging. Any items we find to authentic will be kept, the posers will be sold. But to get objects, we need to dig, dig, dig.

Nancy: Its stressful out here.

And that’s three hours wasted. We need to get that calming howl for you.

The next place she finds is the bathhouse or spa or whatever. I was hoping to find the fishing spot. Oh well. Eliza keeps carrying on.

On her way to the temple, some bugs try to light her on fire and she quickly sprays them down to get rid of them. Little creeps.

Is that…? Someone out here coming to this “lost” temple just to string up holiday lights on it. Sorry, but thats hilarious to me. Sims is so silly sometimes.

Nancy has an easy time down in the temple. She digs up some spots, talks to some traps.

Has fun running from some bugs, clearly. She doesn’t look frightened in the least. At least she has the fast healing werewolf perk. She doesn’t stay hurt for long.

She gets the final treasure, digs up some piles and heads back home. It was a short but effective trip.

As soon as she’s home, she’s glued to the table until she has to work or her needs sink too low. We ended up with like…. 8 items. Only one was a fake so that was nice.

Jacob: I HATE THIS COUCH!

Nancy: Thats nice, honey.

I noticed that Eliza has been flirting with Jacob and two other men. Everyone has been dictated to finish a skill because we don’t accept cheaters in the legacy. Do you want Caleb to be a widower, Eliza? Because thats whats gonna happen.

Nancy: Vote for me or I eat your couch.

Voter: Sounds like you have my vote!

Its two am in the city, and its raining. Nancy just spent 12 sim hours convincing people to vote for her so she can get her last promotion. She’s nowhere near it on the bar, but I rather have all the votes rounded up now. Shes miserable, the poor thing.

And apparently stinky because she takes a shower right then and there in the rain. Guess thats one way to get voters.

Jacob has been bubbling all day. I guess…. ugh its time. I hate it though. Happy birthday Jacob.

Nancy is still smitten with her old man. That means that Nancy only has two days till she ages up. Three if we push it. Its Thursday. She won’t get her promotion until next week. Feck. I guess…

Time to make a baby.

Nancy: We’re expecting!

Jacob: Oh my god!

Caleb: What???

Jacob is working on his speech for work. I want him to reach near level 10, though I doubt he’ll get there by the time hes an elder. It’s okay. The family doesn’t really need money anyway. But looking at his clothes… Ick. He’s an adult now. Its time for a bit of a change I think.

I change most of his outfits, but leave his hair alone. I also noticed he’s been gaining a lot of rage so he’s doing wellness too.

We’ll leave this long chapter off with poor Nancy feeling sick as heck. It’ll get better. Imagine you holding your baby girl. Hopefully its a girl. It’d make me real hot to ruin the legacy now.

I only made this chapter long because I wanted to get through the last of my pictures before playing for a while today. The plan is to play enough to get the baby to a kid (should be enough pictures for a chapter), then play from child to adulthood in the next chapter after that. So two more chapters and we’ll be done with this generation. Yeeeee.

We start with Jacob enjoying the fresh air, and Nancy taking a nap on the ground. This is a healthy relationship. Actually is right before their wedding and I wanted to make sure everyone was ready.

Eliza, are you in your wedding dress???

Eliza: Not my fault you never changed my formal wear, lazy.

Oops, my bad.

That’s better. She’s a power mom… Whose younger than her daughter now btw. Caleb has been alive over 250 sim days. Shes been alive around 75. Still not sure what to do about them, but I do know that a vampire urn would be pretty neat in the collection.

The wedding starts and her parents sit up in the front row. I actually like the wedding pack. Could it be better? Sure, but I enjoyed the wedding.

This kiss got me. I was laughing so hard. It looks like Jacob is fearing for his life.

Jacob: Wow! What a woman!

Nancy: Glad I’m a good kisser (:

They’re really such a cute couple. I can’t wait to see their daughter! I’ve not played that far ahead and tbh, I haven’t even had Nancy get pregnant yet. I’ll give her to the last day of her young adulthood to get to level 10 of her career.

The party moves inside and becomes chaos. This is me trying to get a picture of them feeding each other cake. Yes, there is Jacob’s werewolf family here, along with Nancy’s vampire family. Aunt Lilith is here somewhere.

There we go. I really love the interactions in this pack. I wish there were better wedding dresses, but I only have a million CC wedding dresses, so its fine.

…After this legacy I’m cleaning out my CC folder. Maybe.

Jacob: I love this woman so much 😍

Caleb: I LOVE werewolves and don’t need HELP.

Caleb are you okay, sheesh. Werewolves aren’t that bad. Your daughter is a werewolf.

The party ends with Nancy going out to dance by herself. I tried to do the first dance interaction and that was the only thing that really glitched for me. Otherwise, the party was a total success!

As an extra little detail, since there wolf soulmates, Nancy gets a very beautiful wedding ring.

Caleb: I can’t believe you married him! When am I getting grandchildren?

Nancy: Eventually. At least you’ll be around for them.

She’s still into yoga and wellness. It seems smart for a werewolf to be into it. I’ll be glad when they have a little garden to do it in though. I’m holding out on remodeling this house to do a nice house when Nancy gets promoted. So close. So very close.

Jacob is getting into Piano. I don’t know if I said, but hes doing the athletic career. Just like Eli, but he already got above what she was. I think she only got to level 3 or 4. He’s level 5.

Nancy: I’m going to be mayor one day. Vote for me, or you’re wrong!

Green haired girl: You know, you have a point!

With good manners, friend of the world, level 10 charisma and the one reward trait…. Nancy makes friends the moment she shakes their hand. Usually good friends tbh. Unless they’re a vampire. It’s actually insane.

Kris comes over often. He and Eliza don’t like each other though. Probably because he keeps stepping on her plants. I’d be pretty mad too. They haven’t fought yet, but if they do… I’m not too worried about Eliza’s chances.

Nancy: I don’t want to do a speech ):

Drink this inspirational potion and wow them all girl. Though I’m not sure if my game is bugged or not, but she always only draws one or two people max. Its strange.

She’s still quite a cutie up there though. I’d vote for her.

Next task of the day? Paint a mural. With level 10 painting, its easy.

Boom, done. Mural done. Work done for the day.

As usual that means we’re off to Moonwood MIlls. I’m not sure if this is the town we’re going to move to for the final house or not. I might have to use a random roller, but I’ll figure it out.

Nancy: AWWWOO I’MA RAGIN’

Its very easy for her to build rage, but shes not so bad. Plus, I’m gonna be changing her werewolf form soon. I just keep forgetting.

Random Townie: Ew a werewolf

Nancy: We are literally in Moonwood Mills… AKA Werewolf HQ.

BAHAHAHA. She looks so funny in this picture. I think she was side eyeing another werewolf. I just love how dopey she looks.

Nancy: The full moon is soon. Ugh, I hate the full moon.

I’m sure you do sweetie.

And that will wrap it up for this chapter. I’m trying to keep the shorter but with plenty of content so not ever generation is 600billlion chapters long. Since Nancy and Jacob still haven’t started the baby train, theres not too much going on, so I try not to take a lot of pictures. I don’t have enough pictures for a next chapter, but I’ll do some playing today and hopefully we get a baby soon?

Jacob: Is that a baby book?

No, its one on the history of your hometown that your wife found buried under the snow last night. Must be soggy.

Ah, a family meal. Eliza just finished a packet of fish plasma, Jacob is eating some sweet that Caleb made 20 years ago, and Nancy is eating meat she “found”. Couldn’t get any closer to family friendly.

Its two nights after the full moon now and I had a thought. My thoughts are never usually very good thoughts, but this is a thought anyway. Eliza and Kat had something in common. They married before their kids arrived. I’m gonna do the same with Jacob and Nancy. But I wanted to make it a lil special, with the wedding pack and everything.

Nancy: We met in this town. While we won’t get married here, and will probably never live here, will you marry me anyway?

They seal his acceptance with a kiss. Tbh, they may be my favorite couple to date, but I’ll probably say that about every single heir and their spouse.

Jacob: I’m getting married la la la but no signs of a baby la la la

Oh sush. You’ll get a kid eventually. I’m still holding out hope. Nancy is still not an adult, and shes at level 7 of her career. Shes ripping through the levels with the work from home business and I still have hope for an heir vote.

Eliza: Still a dog, I see.

Nancy: We’re literally good friends, don’t start with me.

Caleb is busy cooking away for future generations. I can’t expect Nancy to hunt for all her future pups. Of course that’s if she finishes her career in time.

He’s also the one to bake his daughter’s wedding cake. That’s right, we’re gonna try Wedding Stories. I’ve not played with it yet. What better file to test it on than my beloved EPIC Family?

Here’s the final product. I think it looks very pretty. Sadly, Caleb will have to make 3 more before the family stops pulling them out of their butts and eating them, even though they’re marked as the wedding cake.

Nancy’s job today is… to tip the living statue. That’s it. She has to watch and then tip it. Wow, this career is hard lmao.

She goes into work and is always finished around 11am, so she goes off to collect. Right now we’re working on Moonwood Mill’s collection. There’s not much to it, just mostly luck involved. No I do not want to talk about the angler fish ):<

Nancy, what are you doing?

Nancy: Singing! I like to sing!

You do you, I suppose.

Nancy: I miss grandma.

Eliza: Go fishing for 10 minutes. Its how I get over all my emotions.

And no sooner do I think about missing Kat, does Eli decide to pass. Almost in the exact spot that Kat did.

What’s left of the family gathers to mourn Eli, who only lived three days longer that Kat. Just enough that everyone stopped mourning… and two days before the wedding. Eli! I wanted you there!

Here are the graves in the very dirty basement. Some of their memorials have disappeared. Nothing I can’t get back at least. I know its a bit chaos down here, but it’ll get better when everything can be spread out.

Nancy!

Nancy: Grandma’s dead, don’t care anymore ):<

Well I do!

Kat finds her way to this magical tree, and a portal opens up just for her.

And we’re here to catch an angler fish. I will have him on my wall ):<

Holy jibblets its pretty here though. The god rays, the rainbows, even the water!

Eliza: And we never saw an angler fish (:

I know ;-; please, i beg for helps and tips. I have exhausted google. I have exhausted myself.

With that we’ll wrap up. This is my first update and I’m trying to do slightly more manageable chapters. I make them too long and I burn myself out and probably bore the heck outta you guys. I honestly haven’t opened sims in a few days, but i’ma gonna be pushing hard now. Nano and generation 7 await!

6.01 Youth Without Youth

I makeover Nancy and don’t even get to take a picture of her when my camera is pulled over to Kat.

Kat: I don’t want to leave Eli behind ):

She can’t be much behind you. I’m sorry Kat ):

Everyone comes out to mourn Kat. Of course, Eli is the first one on the scene.

Nancy gets a job after grim takes Kat’s soul. She starts at level 3 since she had an A in school. Which is nice.

Heres a better picture of her makeover. I think this is her cold weather outfit.

Jake is invited over come morning and he’s asked to move in. No romance yet. He’s a vegetarian which is weird since he’s a werewolf but, okay. He’s also good and outgoing. This reminds me that I have to update the family tree!

And Kat’s death reminds me – What should I do with Eliza and Caleb? They’re vampires so they’re immortal. Originally I was going to make a perk resetting potion and “accidently” leave them in the sun but at the same time… I dunno? I’ll figure it out by the end of generation 6. Suggestions are welcome.

Since she needs friends to finish up Friends of the World, Nancy heads to the werewolf bar to meet people. Sadly, not a lot of people seem to want to show up.

This werewolf lady does show up and… if only Nancy had met her before Jacob. What’s done is done though. Her mate has been picked.

She needs to make 8 more friends before she’s done. She’s already level 10 Charisma, so all she has to do is greet people to become Good Friends with them since she has Good Manners. This is the Wedding Pack world, but I’ve only visited it once or twice so we come here to find more people.

It’s crowded in here! Nancy says hello to everyone and boom! Twenty friends!

Nancy: Easy Peasy!

That it is.

Nancy: Baby time?

Not even close. She’s already level 5 of her career but that doesn’t mean we’ll have time to finish it before baby time. I might make amends with just having one kid for generation 7 and then the last few generations have heir votes.

Oh wait, now she’s done. She just had to make a BFF with her mate? Boyfriend? I don’t know, they have the Werewolf Soulmates thinger. I’m gonna call him her boyfriend.

She’s angry again. Probably from sleeping at night. Its not something that can really be helped though.

Level 9 yet?

Eliza: Yeah ): It’s taking forever to get this promotion.

It really is. She barely gains anything every time she goes to work. She’s just about there though!

She even has two days off, so off to the Grotto she goes. When she gets there, there was this lady and all these kids? WTF? They ran away though so that’s good. Still no angler fish ):< Literally 3 fish needed and I cannot catch that one to save my life.

Such a professional. She’s practicing a speech. I don’t have her go to work a lot. She mostly works from home, which is nice.

Jacob’s rage fills up and yeah. Of course you look like that. Pfft. I guess with Eliza marrying Caleb we almost have the cast of Twilight in the house.

JACOB NO! He’s shredding the couch ):<

Control your boyfriend

Nancy: Nah, why don’t we look at this light while I eat my meat instead?

She does go to “control” her bf then. Don’t worry, its just a woohoo, not a tfb.

Kris is invited over because Jacob keep getting strikes with his pack. So we have Jacob leave the pack. Kris is a cool guy and wishes Jacob well.

So Kris and Jacob can stay close, Kris gets a key. An oversized key.

Here’s some work from home action. But its not really work from home with Nancy having to head to the city. She leads a protest that gets nowhere.

Then she paints a mural, trying to gain traction for her cause. Which is People of the World, I believe. I don’t remember what I picked.

Then she and Jacob head to the Festival of Snow for some fun.

Which isn’t very fun because Nancy takes a nap in the snow. So much for a romantic date.

Rage time bby.

Tho I will say, I do enjoy the rage mechanic in this game. I think it’s well done and no two werewolves I’ve played have been the same. Sure, they may have the same sort of rage triggers, but they always get a fun and different mix. I really do think the Sims team did well with Werewolves.

The next day its time for a speech to the sea. She does get some people who come over and listen. That’s good. She’s getting some traction!

She heads out for a dive or two. There is a fin spotted in the water. I flip out thinking my generation is over.

But its a dolphin! Oh my god, look at him!

HE LETS HER PET HIM!! LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS! We don’t name him but we do play with him before he swims off into the sunset. How cute!

Sadly, I have to send Nancy home because its a full moon. Meaning her and Jacob have quite a night ahead of them. I send them to Moonwood Mills because I don’t care if they destroy stuff there. Why’s Eliza there? For one reason only.

Moonpetal. Only blooms on the full moon. If it wasn’t snowy out, she’d get the lunar fish as well. That’s one of the three fish we need. Still, this bad boy will do for now. Prize had, she heads home.

And these two cause unholy terror for the entire night. They break toilets, shred seats, just destruction and mayhem the entire night. We def have to send them here every full moon so they don’t destroy the house.

But with that, I think I’ll end the chapter. A lot was done today. Nancy is level 5 or 6 of her career but I think we’re just gonna have a child anyway so we don’t push too close too her Adult birthday. I think she has 7 days until it happens? I’m not sure. This was all played through yesterday. I really am trying to do chapters as I play, so you don’t get months without an update. We have the Thrifty blog to play through yet and wow…. I am not really excited about many of those challenges (i kid, i’m very excited!).

5.05 Howl

Birthday time! Nancy is now a teenager and ready to take on the world! But wait, let me fix that bad cc.

There we are sweetie!

Nancy: Thanks I guess.

Tbh, Nancy is my least favorite looking heir… for now. I really warm up to her soon because well. Shes awesome.

And she does know how to smile!

Eliza: Just planting some plants.

For nothing in particular eh?

Nancy spends a lot of her time skilling and having a good time. She’s level 5 in charisma already and will be doing Friend of the World because she’s going into the Political career.

Another day, another promotion. She’s now level 8 and the captain! We’re so close!

Eliza: Not close enough!

Eliza: Don’t mind me (:

No ones minding you girl.

What Eliza was making was the vampire cure. We’ve been prepping this for a while. My original plan for Nancy was to turn her into a mermaid but plans have changed. Either way, no more vampire!

Nancy: Ew my heart started beating

That’s a good thing because in my game we have werewolves! I had only played up to Nancy’s birthday before but now with werewolves in the game, we have a plan. We still need a mermaid and an alien, but Nancy’s kid can marry a mermaid. Surely there must be one and if there’s not one in world, we can make someone one.

Caleb: Our daughter is planning on marrying a werewolf.

Eliza: So? As long as he doesn’t shed on the couch.

Skilling is going slower now that Nancy has to sleep, but shes getting it done. And her ears are normal now! Nice!

Three generations of painters!

Another day, another case. We gather evidence one day, go arrest someone the next and then I send her to work alone until she gets her promotion. Usually takes her about 5 days to get there.

But it’s the weekend, meaning no work for Eliza so we can take Nancy on a hike! In a mysterious little town in the middle of nowhere…

She fines a strange tree with a hole in and people hanging out around it.

Oh look, it’s exactly who we wanted. Jacob Vo… uh Va….? Uh… Who cares. This is Jacob and he’s gonna be the next spouse.

Let making a friend commence. He doesn’t have the curse to give to us though so we’ll be making friends with someone else who might share their gift.

Like this man! He doesn’t seem too interested in talking to Nancy for long though. He keeps walking away, but we’ll get him. Eventually. But for now, Nancy had to go home and get her mood up once more.

A few hours later and after a little bit of Spooky Day fun, we invite Kris over for a bite. Bad joke? Bad joke.

I love how everyone else gets the scared moodlet and Nancy is just like Huh, thats pretty neat.

A quick and painful bite later, Nancy is officially infected. The next thing on our to-do list is make Jacob her boyfriend before he marries someone as a young adult.

Nancy is mostly unaffected by the pain. To be honest her resting bitch face is growing on me. She looks so angry all the time and I love it. However, she’s eating like a million things. This is her third plate of cheesy bread in a row and her hunger won’t stay up.

Her father is making something special for her when she feels funny.

Why are the two of you cowering? You’re literally powerful and immortal vampires. This is just silly.

Her first action as a werewolf? Text someone. AGGRESSIVELY

I’m actually dying of laughter. Of course I chose I WILL EAT YOUR SOFA. Its just funny.

She digs up the yard and gets yelled at by her grandma Eli. She just snarls at her and runs off.

Then she SMASHES THE FRIDGE? Wtf Nancy?!

Nancy: I feel better now (:

You are a bad wolf.

One of the best perks to get for werewolves is the wolf nap one. They can sleep anywhere on the ground and it gets them well rested super fast. Oh and her first werewolf quirk is a love for… fresh meat.

She still goes to school even as a wolf. Her grandmas help her with a school project because her mood is poor and its building her rage fast.

She’s a Runt now and can hunt for her own meat. I mean find it. Somewhere. Her rage just keeps building though because now she likes to be up at night and sleep in the day. This isn’t going to make her career easy…

It’s time to get romantic with Jacob now that Nancy is a werewolf, and look how handsome he is.

They spend they day becoming good friends and when their bar is high, Nancy begins flirting.

Uhhhhh okay. Didn’t know soulmates were canon in Sims. But also ignore the fact that her name is Kate. I’ll change it in CAS for her YA birthday. I just forgot on her teenage birthday ahaha.

Who cares if he’s her one true love fated by the moon. The most important fact is he’s her legacy love.

He really seems to like her which I love. I love it when a couple is truly in love. On another note, I’ve officially broken the legacy pattern. Did you notice it? Every other generation had a same-sex partner. Nix, Helena, Kat had male partners. Rose and Eliza had female partners. Following the pattern, Nancy should have had a female partner. Oh well. After she gets to level 10 of her future career, we get to have heir votes and thats the important part!

Once Jake leaves at 2am she spends the rest of her night filled with rage as a werewolf. She does now have the option to transform at will at least.

And it’s harvest day! But no werewolf gnome ): Maybe next year.

Nancy gets into yoga, which I hope helps with rage. I doubt it does, but wellness is still a nice skill.

While Nancy is working on inner peace, the microscope collection is completed! Yes!

Thinking about collections and the fact that we’re over half-way done with this challenge, I send Eliza and Nancy out for some mother-daughter bonding. Fun fact, thats Thomas! The strange alien-human!

We catch what we need from the beach and head off on vacation. We need a mountain lionfish! Eliza is on the mission. Caleb is here so he’s not stuck at home with two old ladies.

First things first, off to the deep woods.

Gosh the graphics really have me now. I’m just so in love with this game again.

Nancy is here too, collecting bugs. The rarest ones spawn here after all.

I don’t know if we’ll finish the bug collection but we have a Will-O-Whisp so that’s pretty neat.

A snowy stroll under the waxing moon. We gotta be outta the woods by tomorrow or there are going to be some animal attacks.

Eliza catches the lionfish and Nancy sticks around to catch some new critters. This little buggers are my favorite type of bug.

While we don’t have any of the plants, we do have fish and bugs to put in the sealed collection room.

Next on the list is catching an angler fish. Eliza stayed here 28 hours and never caught one >.< She maxed out fishing though and that’s great! More points, but we’ll get even more if we get that danged angler.

Our current fishing wall. We only need like 3 more fish! I wish Eliza could have stated longer but something important came up!

That’s right! Nancy’s birthday!

She’s officially a young adult! Happy birthday Nancy!

Next time Eliza will finish her career (she’s level 9), Nancy will start her’s, Jacob will move in since he was 2 days older than Nancy. Maybe Kat and Eli will kick the bucket? They have the long lived trait and I guess they wanna stick around until Nancy has her kid(s?!). I’m gonna get Nancy started on her career as soon as possible and shes gonna work her butt of. If she can top it fast, maybe we can have kids afterwards? Who knows! I’m posting pictures as I play so I’m not sure what happens next either.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Next chapter will be soon ❤

5.04 Freestyle

Its been a while. I have no excuse, let’s just go!

Kat: Lalala Playing my guitar

Eli: Some of us actually work, you know!

Nancy is the cutest I swear. Everyone in the house loves her. They all flock to her like mad.

Nancy: Daddy, I can do it myself

Caleb: I have not waited this long to be in a legacy challenge to not help my legacy child.

From guitar to yoga, Kat lives the good life as an elder.

Caleb works with the bar now and he’s a pain in my booty because he makes a million drinks and they all rot.

Eliza is actually a lush now too. If the drinks don’t rot, she’s often double fisting them.

Kat has taken up painting as her hobby. I know that in Sims 3, an elder’s paintings shot up in value after their passing so… we may be hoarding many of these in Eliza’s inventory. I do place the ones I like though.

Kat get off that!

Kat: Make me (:

These things are death traps. Someone almost dies from them everyday. Today’s victim is Caleb. The next day is Kat, I believe, but I don’t know if I have a picture of it. We’ll discover together.

At least Kat is a total badass and comes running out with no prompt from me. I am doing the no-control-elders challenge, so I’m thankful she has her head in the game.

This picture is just rather cool, the two of them fighting the fire together. Eliza looks scared though. I guess she knows vampires and fire doesn’t mix.

She is such a cutie. She’s precious. I can’t wait for you to grow up kiddo.

Kat had accepted a job via phone a day before she aged up. Since I can’t control her anymore, she went by herself and came back in this. I’m pretty sure she was supposed to do another cowboy movie. I don’t know why she’s a voidcritter.

Caleb…. that’s not how you bathe a child. You know what? Do what you want.

Kat, you old lush.

Kat: What? I don’t drink any of them!

Everyone flocks to Nancy when they’re not playing at the bar. This kid is loved more than any other, I swear. Shes spoiled as all get out.

See? Her grandmothers won’t leave her alone to skill in peace. They’re always right on top of her.

Finally fort the bar back, huh Caleb?

Caleb: She’s distracted with Nancy. I gotta skill while I can!

Eliza runs off to work by herself for a day so I can focus on Nancy and Caleb. He needs more levels to gain a promotion and I want Nancy to be a Top Notch Toddler.

I went to put some collections in the collection room and its dirty. Why is it dirty? Sims can’t get down here!

I know I take a lot of pictures of Nancy but she is the cutest!

I mean look at her!

Nancy: Heck yeah I’m cute!

Caleb: Ah yes, its so hot out!

What… are you wearing? Is that your hot weather outfit? What in the literal heck Caleb?!

Ignoring his terrible outfit, he’s here to fish so we can make more plasma packs. He usually makes around fifty at a time to split between himself and Eliza.

She mastered potty training here! She’s well on her way to top notch toddler!

It was Kat. Well, not surprising.

Kat: Help!!

Elois: Oh my, would you look at that…

Eliza: I smell burning, are we having a barbecue to celebrate my promotion?

Kat: Thanks for saving my life. You’re not so bad for a vampire.

Caleb: You’re my wife’s mother and I don’t want to deal with a mourning toddler.

Eliza takes up handiness so she can upgrade everything in the house.

And she begins the thankless work of upgrading everything shortly after. They don’t have too man electronics but they have enough that its going to be a pain.

Eli: How nice it is, to not have to worry about doing chores.

Kat: Oh yes, very nice.

Eli needs depends. She pisses herself a lot. I think its because shes always drinking whatever Caleb/Kat makes at the bar. Once he maxes that skill, its going into the family inventory.

C’mon Nancy! Imagination is your last skill to master!

Nancy: I’m reading as fast as I can!

The messes were a necessary evil. Her imagination is maxed!

Nancy: Daddy stop playing with the bottles and make my birthday cake.

Caleb: One minute sweetie!

Annnnnd Kat is one fire again.

Nancy didn’t get her birthday for another day, since Eliza had to go to work and Caleb had to work and just… It was a mess. But here’s the baby girl’s birthday.

And here she is! That hair doesn’t stay long. It’s majorly glitched sadly.

She gets her creative vibe on right away.

Here’s her hair less than 12 hours after her birthday. I don’t like it as much, but its still cute.

Eliza won’t leave her daughter alone to work. They’re always hugging and talking.

Eli thinks about her childhood, her marriage and what brought her life to this moment. It’s apparently not a happy memory because she’s mad afterwards.

Eliza joins her mother on painting duty. I believe they finally surpassed 400k in money.

But life goes on and what a simple life it is. Eliza helps Nancy with her homework.

And works on cases where he coworkers are useless.

She and Caleb always make time for each other too. I’m getting a little bored of this generation ngl. That’s why my updates have been slow. But oh do I have plans for the next generation.

We’ll end the chapter with some mother-daughter panting time. I’ve played until Nancy is a teenager, but I think what I want to do is play until Nancy is a young adult. I’m ready for the next generation already. The detective career is kind of a pain. But Kat is like level so only 4 more levels until she can retire.

5.03 Going, going, going

I remember we can have TVs and they get one. It’s not the biggest one, but now they can participate in premiere day. That’s what they’re doing right now.

Back to the easel, Kat?

Kat: I’m honoring Rose.

Which reminds me; this is Eloise’s career level. She’s not really worked on it. Good thing it doesn’t count for anything.

Caleb: I feel like I’m missing something.

Yeah, you’re supposed to be cooking. Move it, boy.

Eliza: I hate this book.

Keep reading it! You need to be immune to sun!

Caleb just cooks and cooks and cooks. The fridge will be stocked until the end of this challenge.

Wow. Good things we have phones back to participate in things like this. Of course, we tell her to do it.

She’s barely in her second trimester. Why is she so big? How many babies are in there?!

Eliza: One. I hope.

Me too.

She does get the Vampire Lore skill done at least. Her first adult one!

Plasma break! Yum, yum!

Caleb is so in love with Eliza. He’s always running up to touch her tummy.

Good for you, Lilith! She’s in the painting career, btw.

Oh you crazy kids. It’s Caleb and Eliza btw.

Kat, you always look grumpy or like you’re plotting something. I’m always scared of you.

Kat: Good.

Eliza: Ah, back to work.

She stares at the cork board, wondering about the case she’s working on.

She heads out to look at the crime scene herself and it takes me a moment to realize where we are.

This is Caleb’s old house! Lilith must have moved out!

These ladies live here now. I’m not sure if they’re vampires or what.

Still, its on the board. Eliza will crack this case!

When she gets home, she sees that Kat mastered painting now too. Sigh, your work was done woman. What are you doing?

Its so funny seeing her do this while being in her cop uniform. Though, since she rarely sleeps, she never changes out of it unless she gets a bath.

Eliza: I am miserable again.

Yes, probably because you’re in labor.

Eliza: Where’s my husband?

Cleaning the tub. What a good father. His kid will need a nice clean bathtub.

This house is very yellow.

Eliza: Why? Why now? I’m pushing out a baby!

Oh yeah….

Eli: Hey, got a moment to chat?

Eliza: I’M HAVING A BABY, MOM.

Eli: Oh yeah…

Eliza: Welcome to the world, you little-

It’s a girl! Her name was originally gonna be Kate, for the woman who became the first female detective in America. I changed that recently though and her name will be Nancy – as in Nancy Drew! Kate is just too close to Kat. I didn’t like it.

As is such with her family, right after giving birth, Eliza runs off to work.

Eliza: Sweet freedom

She has to go on patrol… near her own house? I didn’t even know that was a thing. She’s gotta move quick though because it’s sunny and she’s not immune!

I was so anxious that I didn’t take any photos. She made it back in one piece though, her energy was just a little low. She’s right back to work, of course.

Eliza: Time for my first real arrest. I already see the culprit!

Eliza: It was you! You vandalized my husband’s old home!

Teenager: My only crime is having a terrible cc hair style!

Eliza: Too bad, so sad, get in the cuffs.

She gets back and starts to get her energy back before I realize… wait a minute. The kid didn’t come back with us! Hey!

Teenager: Finally, I can enjoy a game of chess in peace

Teenager: Aw fiddlesticks.

Eliza: Escape again and I won’t be a good cop anymore.

Eliza: Let’s make this quick so I can get my promotion.

Teenager: I ain’t talking.

But when Eliza offers him a whole box of donuts, he sings like a bird. Case closed. He was dared to mess with the vampires, only to find out they don’t exist. Or so he thinks anyway.

Eliza has joined her mother in painting. If only because we need to make more money. We’ve been sitting at 300k for a while.

Caleb is a good dad. Even if Nancy doesn’t want to be cared for.

Jeeze, Lilith, decide your own life. Thats why I have MCCC.

Kat is such a good grandmother. The moment Nancy so much as whimpers, she’s right there.

Caleb: Is cooking all I’m good for?

Yes.

Surprise! He was actually cooking for a dinner party! He’s working on his goals, slowly but surely. Lilith and Eliza even eat some food (and then go to puke).

The Kat decides to flirt with Lilith. Wtf Kat! No! NO!

Kat: But what if I was immortal (;

NO.

At least at the party, this happens. Now to work on baking.

Uh…. but you were just flirting with…

Kat: Immortal (;

Blow out the candles. Time for me to lose control of you.

Kat: I can’t be immortal so I’ll eat the cake before Eli blows out the candles!

MA’AM.

Caleb bakes another an Eli goes and eats that one right away. What. The. Fruitcake.

We cut to a much more important birthday. A little bundle of joy! Whose inquisitive.

AHHH SHES SO CUTE. She’s all Caleb too. That’s really nice, actually.

Finally, a look at our old ladies. Kat is graceful as ever.

And Eli is stunning! I’m so sad these two are elders, but they should have probably been so days ago. They still have some time left, I’m going to miss them when they’re gone though!

With that, I’m gonna wrap up this chapter. This is actually as far as I’ve played, so I have some playing to do. I’ve been a little addicted to 7 Days To Die lately, but I’ll get back to playing sims here soon. I wanna complete this legacy sooner rather than later.

5.02 Shiny & New

Eliza: I am uncomfortable.

It’s probably that huge bite mark in your next tbh. And the fact you’re turning into a vampire.

Since Kat doesn’t work anymore, she paints. And paints. Since she’s not in the painter career we don’t have to keep any of her art, but I will anyway. The house could always use more art.

Eli comes home, and pulls a cake out of her butt? Hello? Excuse me? What the fudge?

Eli: It’s chocolate fudge cake (:

Paintings by Kat. She just loves to paint now. Not sure whats up with that.

Since she’s turning into a vampire, shes reading the vampire novels. We can’t purchase plasma yet, so we have to make it. Good thing its an easy fix.

Then she needs to practice her charisma for work. We’re a good cop, of course, but we need to be able to talk to people!

Caleb is the cooking career so he’s practicing his cooking. He’s making food for the next five generations. Yes, we still have food from Nix btw.

Eli: Stupid vampire, flirting with my daughter!

Looks like they’re doing a little more than flirting tbh. Their first woohoo isn’t in the most comfortable of places.

Eliza: Oof, I think I ate bad food.

Caleb: Not at all, it’s time for you to join the darkness.

Caleb is sure excited that Eliza is transforming. I actually cackled at him cheering her on.

The vampire forms in this game need work. Or maybe I should just delete my cc folder.

This is her dark form after I give her a makeover. Nothing much difference; just some red eyes and goth clothing.

She has to go arrest someone almost right away. Good thing its cloudy out! She’s not gonna burn up! I forgot how long it takes to build up the immunity to sun.

Eliza: You have white hair, jeans and you’re the only person at the park right now! It has to be you!

Guy: Hey, isn’t this cheating?

Eliza: Save it for the judge!

Sadly, after being able to arrest someone, she’s sent back to the office where she takes reports from incoming pedestrians. This man let his cat fluffykins climb a tree for the fifteenth time this week.

Eliza: Fluffykins is in the tree again.

Coworker: I’m not getting him down again. Screw that.

With the matter of Fluffykins up in the air, Eliza does some jogging to clear her mind. Will that cat ever get out of the tree? No one would ever know.

The rest of the word day is boring. I send her outside to the sun and let her mediate to regain her energy. She needs to level fast.

She really bonds with everyone. She’s actually nearly friends with almost everyone in the office. I hope they all stick around tbh.

This is the plasma patrol. Aka, Kat has level 10 fishing and Caleb is a vampire with the ability to make fish into said plasma.

The two of them stay here about eight hours. Caleb is trying to get his fishing up too. Kat will be an elder before we know it!

They return home for FlowerBunny Day. And oh, is the flowerbunny waiting. He’s always waiting.

Eliza is feeding from her one mother again. She does this sort of thing when she can for the points. She always looks like she’s having second thoughts.

Because I thought it’d be funny, I made Caleb make the flowerbunny give him a drink. Forgot that he’s a guilty drinker. He was upset for a while. It was worth it though.

It was that night that I remembered that Eliza and Caleb weren’t married so… it’s time, I think. I’m ready for them to have a baby.

Caleb accepts. And he doesn’t even cry… too much.

Caleb: I’m not crying at all!

They get married privately on a foggy morning. They gotta be quick because Eliza still isn’t immune to the sun!

Kat: My baby girl is getting married! Why?

Probably because that’s how a legacy works.

They truly do look so cute together. I love them sm.

The new Mr and Mrs Riley!

Caleb wastes no time asking for some woohoo. It’s a tfb too.

They have chosen to woohoo as bats, right at the alter. Alright then. You crazy kids.

Elizabeth really does look stunning in that wedding dress. I don’t have the wedding pack yet, but I’m gonna get it soon. Maybe her kid will be the first to marry that way.

I had cc wallpaper that vanished on me, but we’re expecting! Yay!

Too bad Caleb isn’t excited at all.

But that’ll be it for this chapter. I’ve played ahead a little and wow, am I having fun with the sims once more! I’ve been playing some other games too, but sims 4 is what I’m trying to focus on. I want to complete this legacy around my birthday, which is in August. But we’ll see what happens!

I also wanted to say about my new blog, which is the Thriftys Do Challenges. They were my family for the Easter 2021 challenge, but now they’re my boolprop challenge family. I’m going to focus on the Riley’s but the Thrifty’s are my next challenge to finish. I have plans for even after that but… Let’s focus on one at a time. Anyway, thanks for reading as always! See you next chapter!
