So Intimidating

So... I've never blogged before & I haven't read many blogs so I have no idea what I'm doing. Guess I'll learn as I go.

This will be devoted to my second Sims 3 Random Legacy Challenge. Yes, you read that right: second. I recently completed my first challenge, had so much fun that I want to do it again! And blog about it... for some reason.

-shrug- I guess I want to record it because I get so emotionally attached to my pixels that I want to create a 'memory book' of them. Or something.

Anyhow! I rolled for my first & second gen, then chose 3 ten gen goals to accompany them on their journey. (Yes, 3. I do 2 of these on a regular basis in my normal games so they come naturally, the 3rd was just something I wanted to do.)

First Generation

Single parent with help - I'm thinking twin sisters
3 kids - My heir is generally the youngest female child. Just easier that way.

Founder will be an actress, with Director as her goal
Her 'help' will be a farmer/nectar maker - Very excited for this, honestly.

Generational Goal is 5 star celeb - Totally makes sense!
The fun - My Precious - LOL I always wanted to get this as it will make me crazy. I'm a minimalist so playing hoarder will be the real challenge here. I've chosen to keep all gifts since she'll be a celeb. Just makes sense to me.

Second Generation

(I usually roll for the next gen ahead of time so I know what I'm aiming for)

Couple
1 kid

Magician
Angler - Blah. I hate fishing...

Career Student - Doing the rabbithole option since I uninstalled UL. A lot of the content just made me nuts & I don't want to bog my game down with a ton of mods.
Tattoo Addict - I loved this one last time. My acrobat was covered in tats & I loved it.

I'll be starting in Starlight Shores with minimal editing. I'm adding the Movie Studio to bring the actor career (It should have that anyway, right??). Probably going to replace mini bars with pro bars, as usual, & that's about it. I generally don't seed the places with 'ideal' Sims & just let nature take it's course (so to speak). After all, it takes all kinds to make a world, right?

Another thing I'll note is that I always need to move to a new town every 3rd generation. By the time I get to gen 3 the lag is horrid & moving gets rid of it. So, I'll plan for that as well.

My 3 10 Generation Goals

Remember the Past - Paint, Sculpt or Photograph each heir. I chose this one because I'd never considered it before & LOVE the idea! I also love the museum idea but have no idea how to put personal things into community lots. Hell, I can't even have a wedding cake if I have my wedding party at a Community Lot! So... if anyone knows how, feel free to let me in on the secret. ;)

Skilled - Reach level 10 of a skill unrelated to the heir's career. I tend to do this anyhow. Everyone needs a hobby, right??

Real Estate Powerhouse - Each heir must buy a business related to their personality. I'll personalize any venues I get as well, if I can. Another thing I generally do, though the challenge here will be not buying everything I can as soon as I can.

Now I'm off to make my twins. I'll update with some pics & whatever else I feel like posting.
