The Bean Legacy 1.0  
Hi guys. I've been so busy recently that it took a while to actually get this posted. I've had the pics in my folder for ageees.
I have never really done a legacy before. I tried once but then I sort of drifted away from The Sims and it was too complicated having to take pics and edit them in Photoshop, but this time all I have to do is resize them, so it's all good. If anyone cares, I'm trying to follow these rules, but I'm not taking points as that'd be too complicated, and I didn't put the family trait in there because I have that like alllll the time and wanted a change.
Anyway, I apologize for some of the pics because they are quite dark, even with being lightened. I never noticed how dark they were 'til I actually got to posting them. =/




So here is our founder, Jillian Bean. She's neurotic, unlucky, clumsy and a coward. She's a klepto too, to make it a little easier on me. Is that breaking the rules? Damn.
Her favourites are classical music, stu surprise, and red.



Her home consists of a toilet, a bed, and a tree for some privacy. Not the best compared to the houses near-by, but I had to make her poor.
I want moneys. Or cheats. =[


She just lies there all day. Lazy biatch.


Or at least she did, until I forced her to get off her ass and look for a job, which happened to be in the criminal career to suit her klepto needs.


It was time to find possible sperm donors and/or a future husband.


SIMS HAVE TOUNGES NOW.


ANYWAY, look at this guy. Look at his nose. I want it in this family.


Am I the only one to find him adorable? His name is Odin. I think.


Jillian: So.. uh.. -awkward moment-
After chatting to him for a short while, with many awkward pauses in between, she went right in there and asked him if he was single.


WHICH HE WAS NOT. =[



The other men at the park weren't as cute.



But we went with the second guy because I haven't seen him before.


It didn't work out very well though. Everytime she called to get him over to her little den to get *closer*, he refused. What an arse.


The next couple of days were spent looking for men. All the good guys are taken, geez.


My sims always have freaky eyes WTF I HATE CREEPY EYES.


Bwuhaha, a bench. What will the park be without a bench.



Carrying that damn heavy bench around all night made her a little hungry.


So off we went in search of food. She rummaged through a bin, but found nothing awesome. Just some trash, obviously.


She harvested the same guy's garden instead. Should've just done that in the first place.


He even came outside with this smug grin on his face, completely oblivious to the homeless person running away with his cabbages.



OMNOMNOM



Her first say in Riverview wasn't very exciting at all. She had the yellow plumbob all night. Poor girl.


She didn't have anything to wash in apart from a newly bought sink. It didn't help.


Idk why she made this face, she just did.


Work tiiiiiiiiiiiime.


She was so tired she autonomously slept on a random couch afterwards.


The park is a good place to get things she doesn't have at home. There's also a bath somewhere so she got rid of her stink. There's also men to make babies with but it takes so fugging long to make friends/any relationship at all in this game that it's hard to find future boyfriends..


BUT WAIT.. could Hunter Cottoneye be her baby daddy?


..


OHYAH.


Turns out he's a crazy mofo. *sigh*
He's an insane loner, who enjoys fishing, being mean spirited and neurotic. I've never had a mean sim, mwuhahaha.


They fell in love quick. D'aww.





Look at her wittle loved-up face.


She got arrested the next day. Just as she found someone to FINALLY start this legacy off with. Typical.



The moment she got out she immediatly asked Hunter to go steady. He said yes, yay!


He also said yes to some woohoo. YAY.


She likey.


After woohoo, she proposed! She dropped the ring..


..but managed to catch it in time and finally ask him.


To which he said.. YES.
I took a pic mid-hug. *facepalm*


Uh ohhhhhhhh..


BABA TIME.


+ NEW house time! I moved Hunter in and made this with the little money he added. He's unemployed so it wasn't much.


He had to get a job since his lady was preggers, obviously. Siting on his arse all day won't support his new family.


I had to swap the sofa for a crib so they eat dinners on the toilet. =D


lulz


He kept getting the want to feel her tummy, it was so cu-yoot!


She then climbed into bed when I noticed THE BALD PATCH. =/


She does this all day. Again.


Whilst Jilly continued relaxing, her husband got caught being the dirty criminal that he is and got thrown in jail. This baby is in for a crappy life if it's parents keep getting arrested, poor thing. =[


THE LABOR HAS BEGAN.


To the hospital!


Out popped a baby girl! Called Lilly. She's a clumsy slob so far. How pleasant.


Awww!

-----------

I hope I stick with this legacy, but I think I will. I'm really enjoying The Sims 3, it runs faster than my Sims 2 and taking pictures with it is SO easy. Anyway, not sure when the next update will be. I may play other families on my other save to have a break so I won't sicken myself with this fambly.
Hope you enjoyed it and hope it wasn't boring. =]

Great start! I look forward to more! I lol'ed at both of them getting arrested! And even though they didn't have much money, the house is really cute!

Aww thankies, glad you like it. =D
Charley[info]simcharley on June 29th, 2009 08:51 pm (UTC)
Great start!
I can't wait to see how Lilly turns out ;D
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 29th, 2009 10:57 pm (UTC)
Thank youuu! And neither can I, the babies all look the same in this game, it's hard to tell how she'll actually turn out. =P

i thing legacy rules are too hard to follow and if you follow them properly, your freedom to play YOUR game and YOUR legacy will just disappear. when i finally get started my first legacy i will just follow the simple - NO cheats. i think thats pretty enough, dont ya thing?

your legacy is soooo cooll! i expect more updates from you soon, ok?!
xoxo~
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 29th, 2009 11:35 pm (UTC)
I totally agree! And good idea, that's pretty much all I'm following anyway. You don't really need anymore rules then that. =P

And aww thank you, and there will be one soooon! =D

She's cute.

I love the neurotic sims!!! Mine is neurotic and they make the funniest faces...
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 12:44 am (UTC)
Thankies! And lol they do, it's amusing! Hunter does more faces than Jill, so throwing insane in there with neurotic must make them do even more random/cute faces. =P

Oh man oh man OH MAN.

Such a nice legacy for a starter! Your founder is as cute as a...bean! :) And to "BUT WAIT.. could Hunter Cottoneye be her baby daddy?" YES! I am so happy, no matter his horrible character and times spent in jail! It only adds to the ~intensity~ of the legacy.
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 12:04 pm (UTC)
Thank you! He's really fun to play or watch, and he's so random! If one of your simmies need a man, I'd suggest him. =P

AW THIS IS SUPER CUTE!
Jillian is adorable! Do you know the show: The Bachelorette?
I was just watching it and the bachelorette's name is Jillian!
The two kind of go hand in hand. ♥
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 12:09 pm (UTC)
Thankies! And no I don't watch it, but that's weeeeird! Hopefully she get as lucky as Jillian. =P

Super cute start and I already look forward to seeing more :) If I did a Legacy, I wouldn't be playing for points either. I think it's enough to try to make it up to generation 10 and if I played for points, I don't think it would be fun at all.

I love your commentary and pictures too, they're always so beautiful. The sunflower picture must be my favourite and I like this one too, you captured it so well that he wasn't single. And of course this picture is just super cute.

"There's also men to make babies with but it takes so fugging long to make friends/any relationship at all in this game that it's hard to find future boyfriends.."

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps it would be easier if you used motherlode and maxmotives and didn't work/sleep/pee/eat/bath at all but when you don't cheat and have to do all those things, there isn't too much time left for relationships.

"He's an insane loner, who enjoys fishing, being mean spirited and neurotic. I've never had a mean sim, mwuhahaha."

Interesting personality xD

Can't wait to see more! It definitely wasn't boring :)
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 12:28 pm (UTC)
I really don't know how people can keep points, but then again I rarely see it when I read legacies. It must be complicated, though. =P

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps it would be easier if you used motherlode and maxmotives and didn't work/sleep/pee/eat/bath at all but when you don't cheat and have to do all those things, there isn't too much time left for relationships.
That's so true. I cheated a little for one of my other sims (okay, I cheated alot), but it only sped it up a little. The relationships are really hard to get in this game, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. =P

And aww thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and liked my piccies. =D

I love it so far! Her eyes are the prettiest shade of blue...
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 12:29 pm (UTC)
Aww thankies! I'm glad you love it so far! =D

Adorableness! Hope you keep up with it, I definitely want to see more! XD
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on June 30th, 2009 10:36 pm (UTC)
Thank you! I'm glad you like it, and I will, I love this family. =D

Omg, Jillian is cute. 8D

And am I the only one who has great difficulties with taking pictures in TS3?
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on August 12th, 2009 03:41 am (UTC)
Aww thank you! And I think your pictures are really pretty!
Have you got the camera mod? I'm not sure what it does, but since I got that, it became a bit easier to take pics. =]
P.S This is random, but your legacy is funny, I just started reading it.. I'll comment once I read 1.2. =D
Leslie[info]agentpersephone on September 4th, 2009 11:42 pm (UTC)
I just started reading this legacy this morning, actually...
I was looking around on The Legacy Challenge when this popped up. I saved it in my Firefox tabs, and ran off to school.

When I came back home I messed around, switched my computer on, and immediately opened my browser so I could read this. I really like this legacy! I hope you continue and your game doesn't glitch or crash! I'm still jealous TS3 will work on your computer. ^_^
Amyy <3[info]gonebynow on September 5th, 2009 03:35 pm (UTC)
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. =D <3
And I don't want any glitches or crashes either, I love my simmies too much! =P
