This is a little anticlimactic. I disappeared forever ago and I've been postponing this update because it upsets me so much, but everything is gone. My big computer, my desktop, (HERA) died a few months ago. The motherboard is fried. I have an external harddrive but I never moved my Sims stuff because I don't have the base game- a sorry excuse, since I can buy it easily, but I was kind of stupid about it. I didn't think I'd be so upset about it until it happened. My legacy, my story, everything I played for for 4 years is gone. I'll get over it, but I really did love those little pixels.

So, yeah. Feel free to unfriend, I won't update anything anymore because nothing exists. I can't even post the final updates of the SVR because the pictures were on HERA as well. It happened months and months ago, but yeah. I suck at updating. School and RL kind of took over.

I loved every minute of being in this community and playing the game, you guys. I plan on getting a new desktop over the summer, and I still have The Sims 3, so who knows. Maybe I'll be back? But for a long while, so long. Farewell. Auf Wiedersen, goodbye!

Ever since I decided to start playing my Legacy again I've been BLAZING through. In like 4 days I finished their teenhood and played the Generation 5 kids through college.


Here they are, in all their blue glory:





(L-R: Erimentha, the heiress, Evrotas, Enyo, Minerva Belle, Eurus and Eris)


Don't worry, they're not all important. After their Sophomore Year I moved Minerva Belle, Eurus and Evrotas out because they bored me.

I still struggle with my feelings about never finishing anything. I've been having a lot of fun with the SVR (which has consumed my Sims playing for the last 2 years) but I recently started wondering about my failed legacy again after finding some of my old notes. There are a lot of notes, I played the legacy since 2007. 4 years. The same family. You can see where this is going?

The Cranes were my number 1 for a very long time and I felt awful abandoning them. Sure, I played the Thornns for 4 generations and I never truly gave up on them either, they were flawless and fun, but the Cranes were... dynastic, in a way? I popped in last night and was so impressed. Dorothy has all her talent badges and a level 10 business and they have an insane amount of money. Their house is insane. I realize I made mistakes: instead of playing a legacy for myself I modeled it on other people's legacies and that's where I failed. I messed it up because I wasn't doing it for me, I was trying to be like everyone else.

I'm going to finish my legacy but I'm not doing it story style, or even Thornn style. I'm blasting through it while playing the SVR, they'll give me breaks from each other. I love the premade families but I love my main family as well. It's been 2 years since I played them and everything was so strange. I think I'm MOSTLY doing it because I'm legit halfway done: my generation 5 heiress is going to college. I don't even know what's supposed to happen at this point and I don't care.



Here's Erimentha. She's really pretty IMO and her name is flawless. For some reason she rolled Popularity even though she's shy, so I'll be rerolling her in college.

I might still have her marry the guy I selected for her when she was born, but I don't know if they'll still be compatible, so we'll see. This is a fresh-ish start? When I wanted to continue them I was going to have Erimentha move to Belladonna Cove and play there but I like my little island.

I know I haven't been around this month, and I'm sorry. RL called!

In this SVR post we see one of the original Maxis Sims, Pascal Curious, become an elder, while his son, Pluto, deals with dating. We also see Vidcund's daughter, Hexameter, deal with her father moving away to get married.



Pascal's gotten the short end of the SVR stick tbh. His brothers both got married to flawless women and I never really looked for one for him? So he's embarrassed himself lusting after married women but now I just kind of want him to go away. I know he's a fan favorite, but he went his entire life without getting much attention from me. I like his son better than him at this point, even if they're both basic.

Hey guys! Back with another drive by SVR update. I'm trying to go fast since I'm already almost 2 rounds ahead of what I'm posting, but happy to be FINALLY posting about Round 3!

Starting in this round the updates will be shorter because I finally learned that if nothing is happening there's no need for me to take pics. The Smith house is a perfect example- I love all the Smiths to death but their house isn't that dramatic so they don't get a giant update.




Last time I posted the family patriarch, PT #9 Smith died. Now, he's haunting his family, including his grieving widow Jenny.

Welcome back to another SVR post! This is the final post of the second rotation, and the last house I played was the Debtateu house. If you don't remember, Tara DeBateu from Belladonna Cove went to LFT with the second group of kids (Hermia, Puck, Bottom etc) and graduated. She's to be engaged to Tybalt and now they're moving into their amazing new house that I downloaded from MTS. It's flawless.

( I associate love with red. )

I'm really really behind. I'm already on Round 4 in my playing but haven't even posted round 3? MESS. Anyway, here's a bunch of pictures of the new generation of kids: Can you guess who their parents are?

( Some of these are obvious but a few are tricky. )

Hey guys! Trying to sneak this one by... I'm back! Moved back into my apartment and everything, nbd.

This is a SVR post, y'all know the drill by now right? In this update Antonio Monty and his wife Lola Curious deal with the fact that they're getting older and haven't been able to conceive.



Antonio and Lola still lead pretty boring lives. They never do much of anything anymore, except go to work and entertain their giant families. I miss the days where the Monty house was only 8 Sims! Now there are so many of them.

( I couldn't think of a title so I just threw some Spanish up there. Messy messy. )

Those of you who read my personal journal know that my apartment was flooded after a fire in the upstairs apartment. My family and I assumed we'd be able to return quickly, but it's been an entire month and we're still ~displaced.

Needless to say, I don't have my Sims desktop with me. It's safe, at my apartment, but negl, even before the fire it was having a lot of problems. If I can afford to, I will fix it and save my Sims, but if not, oh well. I was looking forward to sending my kids to college, and maybe finally finish a legacy, and even play The Sims 3 again, but I can't do any of that while my living situation is a mess.

This journal will remain active. I was really surprised when I googled my LJ name and found that people had actually been looking for my skins and eyes? Wow. Y'all are too kind.

Stay good, stay safe, and happy simming to all. See you on the other side.

Hey guys! I'm back with another SVR post! Like I mentioned before, I'm speed posting so that I can be done with Round 2 and put the pictures on my external hardrive. But yeah, only 3 houses left, including this one!

This is a post about the second Smith house- where Johnny Smith, athlete and police officer extraordinaire lives with his (pregnant) wife Ophelia, who works in Education and their best friend Ripp Grunt. Johnny and Ophelia already have one son, Nigmos Smith, who will go by Iggy.



Ripp is always entertaining at the house. he has a bunch of friends so I'm always having to make sure that the relationships don't decay. I also enjoy watching him bust a move. X_X
