It's been a busy day. Jethan and Athena grew up into toddlers, and my founder Isabella passed away.
It's toddler heaven here! A brand new set of toys, potty training chairs and everything else that a toddler could ever want. They even have a brand new extension to the living room to hold everything!
Hannah just had a birthday and grew into a Mature Adult.
Third generation heir Kevin has just grown up into a child. Unfortunately he was given the trait Mean Spirited.
Even though Kevin is still just a boy, he already knows what his Lifetime Wish is. Kevin wants to be The Emperor of Evil! This means that he wants to reach level 10 of the evil branch of the criminal career track.

Birthdays and Weddings and Babies galore!
Mom Isabella has painted a portrait of her daughter Hannah and it is hanging in the living room. One legacy point earned.
Andrew has decided that his Lifetime Wish is to be a Rock Star. Good to start out young knowing what you want to do, right?
At long last Hannah has found a husband! Well, ok, he's an elder so he may not be around for long but that drive to have children was just too much for her to bear. She married Hal, her boss and is pregnant already. With luck Hal will be around long enough to have a second child with her.
It's a boy! Hannah has had a son named Kevin. He was randomly assigned the traits Hates the Outdoors and Genius.
Not wanting to waste any time, Hannah is pregnant again. She is focused on that goal of having a daughter to carry on the family name!
Andrew has grown up in a joint birthday party with his girlfriend Quiana. He randomly chose the trait of Coward.
Andrew and Quiana chose to get married at a young age, just after high school in fact. Turns out that Quiana has a very similar Lifetime Wish to Andrew and is also a Family Oriented sim so she wants to have lots of children. They were meant for each other!
Isabella has just gained enough aspiration points to recieve one Legacy point!
Two Legacy points earned: A portrait of Hannah, and Isabella earned 100,000 aspiration points

Disaster and moving on
Disaster: something happened to my saved game one night and I lost about ten sim days worth of playing! I took a break for a while but I'm tentatively playing again.
Little Hannah is all grown up! Hannah has just grown from a teenager into a young adult at a small, private party with just her family. I randomly assigned her the trait Childish.
Hannah has chosen the International Spy Lifetime Wish. She wants to reach level 10 of the Law Enforcement career path.
Andrew is now a teenager and has chosen the family trait of Schmoozer.
A Mysterious Benefactor has given the family $105,431! I have no idea why but I'm slightly worried that it is related to my earlier loss of saved game. Being such a Good and generous soul, Andrew has decided to donate all of the money to charity.
Well that sucks – I can only donate $1000 each day! Even with two sims doing it (good and evil) it would still take me 50 sim days to get rid of all that cash. Screw it – I'm keeping it!
Poor Hannah is having a lot of trouble finding a husband. All the men in this town are OLD!
Tom, the founder's mate, has died. In her grief, Isabella tried to convince the grim reaper not to take her husband away. They ended up having a very nice conversation. Isabella talked about her husband Tom and Grim talked about hamburgers. Turns out Grim has a Good Sense of Humor.

Portaits
Little brother Andrew had a small birthday party with just his family and is now a child. I randomly assigned him the trait of Hot Headed. Great, sister is grumpy and brother is hot headed, this can't be going anywhere good!
Isabella has raised her painting skill high enough to do portraits (still life). She has loving created one of her husband Tom and also created a self portrait of herself. They are both hanging in the living room – two legacy points earned.

Lifetime Wish
Hoping to encourage Hannah's artist side, Dad has bought her a gift: a brand new easel!
It's a boy! Sure enough, that one night of frolicking has resulted in a beautiful baby boy named Andrew. Andrew was born with the Good trait and I used randomize to give him the Virtuoso trait. Because I am playing a Matriarchy, little Andrew will be neither heir nor spare but his parents love him anyway.
Hannah objected loudly to having to share a bedroom with her new little brother so Andrew now has his own bedroom.
Double birthday party! Hannah grew into a teenager and little brother Andrew grew into a toddler. They grow up so fast! I was finally able to give Hannah the family trait of Schmoozer. Next thing you know Hannah will be looking for a boyfriend..
Isabella has completed her Lifetime Wish of becoming a CEO in the Business career track! One more Legacy point for the family!She bought the Moodlet Manager with her points and has now spent 80,000 points. Let's see if she can earn enough in her lifetime to earn a Legacy point for them all!

Major remodel
Promotions! We've had what feels like dozens of promotions around here today: first Tom, then Isabella, then Tom again and finally Isabella again. At this rate old Tom might reach the end of the career path before his time is up. Too bad that's not his Lifetime Wish..
Isabella had a birthday and she is now a mature Adult. She decided not to have a party for her birthday so she just aged up normally while eating a bowl of cereal one day.
It's Hannah's birthday again! She had a big party with lots of guests and everybody brought a dish to share. Hannah is now a Child. The Schmoozer trait was still not avaible so I used the randomized function and got Family Oriented, which just so happens to be one of Mom's traits too. So far all good except for the Grumpy trait.
With all the recent promotions the family had a bit of extra cash, so they decided to splurge a little. Ok, a lot! They bought a video gaming system for fun and they also bought a desk and computer to help Hannah with her homework. On top of that, Hannah got a brand new bedroom makeover! Out goes all of that old toddler stuff, in comes the pink everything complete with pink posters on the walls.
Mom and Dad got a little jealous of Hannah's new bedroom, so they decided to upgrade their bedroom too. They have a nicer bed now, and bedside tables with lamps plus a little art too. They are much happier now that their bedroom is Decorated.
Dad got a little frisky after setting up their new bedroom furniture and now Isabella is feeling nauseous. "Ewwww" says Hannah.
To try to keep her mind off of the nausea Isabella has decided to remodel the living room and kitchen. The family now has a sofa large enough to fit the entire family (for now) and they have a kitchen sink and a dishwasher just for Dad, the Neat freak.

Birthdays
Today was Hannah's first birthday. She had a modest birthday party at home in her honor, with five guests. All said that they had a good time and were glad they came. She was pretty tired after all the festivities so she took a nice long nap and then later she had her first meal in her brand new high chair.
We're just full of birthdays right now! Tom just had his birthday and is now an elder. I think I'll keep him working to bring in some extra money. No point divorcing him now if he's going to die soon. Maybe Isabella will get remarried after she becomes a widow.

Starting out
Started in Rivertown with a young lady that I called Isabella Keetchi. She is based on one of the premade sims, but I lightened her skin tone and made her have blond hair and blue eyes. It'll be lots of fun to see how the genetics progress over the next ten generations! Isabella has the following traits: Schmoozer, Loves the Outdoors, Charismatic, Lucky and Family Oriented. I have decided to do a Matriarchy and also have a family trait of Shmoozer.
Started Isabella out in the Business career path. In order to get her first promotion she needed a good relationship with her boss. Thanks to her traits she was Best Friends with him by the second day, and had a good mood too but somehow still didn't get promoted. It turned out that he retired during her second day of work, wasting all of her efforts thus far!
After a couple of days Isabella got a new boss and quickly made friends with him. She got her promotion which is great because she really needed the extra money.
Tom Shallow looks decent enough. They are already great friends so I think I'll have them get married. Isabella could really use a partner around the house to help her make some money and I want to get her started on having kids soon too. I don't know how many tries it will take until we have a girl.
Isabella married Tom Shallow in a private ceremony. I didn't know any of his traits before marrying him, did find out that he was married to June Shallow but convinced him to get divorced. Had him move in and she still didn't have the option to propose but he did so I had him do it – but oops, she took his name! Not sure if that matters.
Turns out he is a pretty nasty guy. He has the Evil trait, as well as Neurotic and Inappropriate although I haven't seen that one come out yet. Isabella is pregnant and that's all that really matters. We'll see how I do with Tom – he may have another divorce in his future.
>One good thing about Tom is that he brought some cash into the household – about $5000 in all. I don't think that he was rich (which is against the rules) but I didn't know many of his traits so I maybe I made a mistake? Let's just call that $5000 wedding gifts. Anyway, I bought a couple more things like a shower and a crib for the baby, and also built a bedroom for the newlyweds. I thought they might be happier if the baby didn't wake both of them up crying.
It's a girl! Isabella and Tom Shallow had a baby girl named Hannah. I was given the option to choose both of her traits but the family trait Schmoozer was not avaible so I used the random option and got Grumpy and Loves the Outdoors. I've never played a Grumpy sim before, could be interesting.
Finally, a place to call home! I used up the last of the money from the wedding and built the family a house. So far it has two bedrooms, one bathroom and a large living room/kitchen/dining room combo. The family has several new things: a stove, countertops, even a dining table and chairs! Ah, luxury.

Welcome to the Legacy!
Hi all, and welcome to the Legacy! This blog is dedicated to my new family which I will play using the Legacy challenge rules for Sims 3. I will try to keep it updated with important life events as I go. I will also use it to keep track of my points so that I can add up my score when I'm all done.
This is my first Legacy challenge. I have attempted the challenge a couple of times in the past but I always forget to keep score and eventually veer off course from the rules and get bored. I hope that keeping track of it all here will let me complete the challenge this time.
