1.10 — Grief and Moving On

The newlywed couple spent their honeymoon being all lovey-dovey and stacking up gold date medals for the legacy.
Since Marcus is retired, he has lots of time on his hands. As for Gunther, well, he's not exactly part of the legacy and I'm not really pushing for him to skill/level anything so I had him take time off work do just chill with his hubby.

I just wish they'd woohoo in their own bed. Yeash!



They keep using Rachid's bed even after I explicitly directed them to their own bed.
The pathing is weird in this game! I reckon Rachid would be less than pleased if he knew what the two lovebirds were continuously up to in his room so...
I just keep him busy whenever they're there. :/

It's supposed to be all happy times seeing how Marcus & Gunther are so fresh from their wedding, but then tragedy struck!



I had entirely forgotten death by overexertion was a thing!!!

Marcus is your stereotypical jock who – even in his old age – pumps iron on the regular whenever I'm not looking so he gets that 'uncomfy' moodlet quite a bit.
But death by overexertion is so rare, and I've never ever had it happen in my games before so I never paid it much heed.

Clearly I should've! Cause after one of their dates (and woohoo session) the notification popped and uh oh...



Not good at all.



Gunther, unsurprisingly, doesn't take it very well.



The whole household got hit with a pretty powerful sad moodlet. But Gunther had it the worst of all.
No one else in the household was directly related to Marcus, but Marcus was Gunther's husband, and they had been newlyweds too.
It wasn't even a double whammy, but a TRIPLE whammy of super big sad moodlets that Gunther was hit by.



I actually had to check if death by depression was a thing (its not, phew) because Gunther was so terribly sad and crying everywhere.



After much mulling, Gunther decided that what he needed was a fresh start. The house reminded him too much of Marcus and was affecting his mood, so he needed a change of scenery.

Gunther: "I think I'll move back to my hometown, Windenburg. I know the place well, and it's nice and quiet there."
Sounds like a plan. I think the fresh air will do you good. Windenburg sounds like the perfect place for you to recuperate.



Living alone can be a rather lonely endeavour, especially after the death of a loved one.
Rather than wallow in sadness, Gunther felt that perhaps having a child he could give love to would give him new perspective and help him heal.
So he set about adopting a young girl.



Meet Hailee Flex-Munch!

She's a PERFECTIONIST with ARTISTIC PRODIGY aspiration.
She had pre-rolled monster CC eyes so I gave her a make-over in CAS. I kept her eyes blue though, just without the black scleras. She's a beautiful girl.



After saying their goodbyes to the Jin household, Gunther & Hailee packed up and moved out to their new house.
It's a quaint little cottage of sorts located on a small plot of land on Windenburg Island.



To liven up the place, they've also adopted an Ainu dog. They've named him Snowy.
I won't be playing them anymore moving forth, but I do hope to see them up and about town and moving on with life.



Author's Note:
Down to 6 household members. Still a lot, but anything lesser than 8 should be easier to manage! ><

ohhh no. Poor Gunther. He and Marcus were so cute together T_T

1.13 — Adventure Time!

Jia's got an aspiration to work towards so come Friday, she takes a little weekend trip to Selvadorada. With some adult (Rachid) supervision of course. ;)



Awww Jia's grown up to be such a cutie. I love her spirit!

Re: The Golden Legacy: 20/11/2018, Status Update
« Reply #62 on: November 19, 2018, 11:07:17 PM »
Just a little update to the few people who do read my legacy.
I'm really sorry about the slow pace of updates and for being gone for... almost 2 months. OTL
It's my exchange semester at an overseas university so I've been busying myself both academically and socially. And admittedly, when I do have time, I've been spending it playing other games in short bursts (when it comes to sims I like to get down and sink hours at a go).

I haven't lost interest in the legacy though! I can't wait to get back to them! I've renovated the house already (got the screenshots and all; post is even drafted) and *hint hint* the twins have aged up! I still need more content before I can get up another chapter though...

Also, Get Famous is out and so is the huuuggeee November patch. Personally, I use a ton of CC and mods (8GB and counting... I think) in my games so there's also a need for me to clean out my mods folder and that will take some time too. I think I might also wait a little for EA to patch out a few (pretty big) bugs first before diving fully back into the legacy. I really love the Jins and don't want to end up having to scrap them due to a corrupt save. ><

Thanks for you all who've been reading my legacy up till now, and once again, sorry for the slow pace of things. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to posting chapters soon though! By December! Gah! I have so much I want to do with the family.

1.14b — House Tour #2

I've been gone forever and tbh idk if anyone is still following the legacy but what the heck.
I miss my fam and wanna jump back after sorta abandoning them late last year dude to life in general lol ~ It'll take awhile for me to get back into the groove of things considering how much has change in terms of patches/content. Need to update my mods. Apparently some of the rules for the legacy challenge has changed to? So I need to check my spreadsheet and make updates. But in general I'm very excited to get back to playing the Jins.

I'll need to dust off my screenshot folders and get to arranging the next gameplay post (the twins have aged up!) as well as — most importantly — play them!
But for now, hope you guys enjoy the super duper late tour of the 2nd renovation of the legacy house. :)

Presenting... the second house tour! Ta-da ~
I've put it under spoilers so if you want to skip it it'll be easier.

The house looks absolutely beautiful! I look forward to knowing what happens next. Take your time though! My story sort of ended too after my game got corrupted and I had to restart the challenge, but now I have too update my game with all the mods too so I am just waiting for that. Have you played around with Strangerville?

@ShyLilSimmer Thank you! It's been awhile since I've played the Sims so there's so much I need to clean out in my mods folder. Pretty sure I spent more than an hour purging stuff lol
My condolences for your lost save game ;; Your writing style for the legacy was really enjoyable so I hope that you'll be able to get back into it when the time is right. :)
I haven't gotten Strangerville yet unfortunately. >< But it's probably a good thing since I still haven't gotten around to playing Get Famous much at all! Am waiting for an expansion pack to drop so I can bundle it together with a stuff pack for the sweet discount haha ~

1.14 — Twisty Plot Twists

1.14 — Twisty Plot Twists

Feng finally got her Social Butterfly aspiration done and dusted with! Whoop whoop ~! That aspiration is a real pain to complete. Yuck!
In any case, things are rolling forwards as per usual. With the lovely Watcher (moi!) being ever the slave driver.

Skills are important if your want to make it in life kiddos!
Kids: “Urgh”



It isn’t long before the twins’s birthday roll by and to celebrate, the whole family + Gunther & Hailee sit down for a celebratory feast.
The newly renovated dining room is perfect for the occasion!



So! So! How do you like the new furniture Ying!? Those chairs are great aren’t they? I got them for a steal at (CC)Ikea!
Ying: “Hmm… it’d be hard to wash stains out of the white fabric…”
Yeah bu—
Ying: “Don’t you think upholstered chairs might be a bit inappropriate as dining chairs? And white ones at that? I imagine they won’t be pretty looking for long.”
Oh come on. It can’t be that bad.
Ying: “You know how Jia is. Holes in her mouth that girl.” *sighs*
*mutters* What a Debbie Downer



Feng: “Hey hey! Chen! Let’s take a selfie before cutting the cake! ”
Chen: “Okay!”

*snap*

Feng: “Ouuuhhh ~ I look cute! This will make the perfect ‘gram!”
Chen: “H-huh? You’re going to post the photo?”
Feng: “Yeah? Why else would I take a pic?”
Chen: “Umm.. could you maybe uh— n-no—”
Feng: *raises eyebrow*
Chen: “Uh, nothing! Just uh, make me look good…. and don’t tag me.”

Wait a minute! Feng! Since when did you get an Instagram?!? Aren’t you… I don’t know? Too young for that??
Feng: “Uh, I’m a pre-teen. And I’m entering high school like, tomorrow. Literally. How can I not have an Instagram?”
You know what… Nevermind. Should have expected that from a kid like you.



Anyways, cake anyone?



Wow do you need a makeover Feng.
Chen: “…”
Not you sweetie, you’re good.

I also decided to age up Hailee at the same time because *slams fist* they’re childhood friends **it! It’d be weird if their ages are different across the board.
And just look at Hailee! Girl is as fabulous as Jia was when she aged up. Perfection.

In any case, MAKE OVER TIME.



Chen’s got a thing for sweaters and cardigans apparently. And black. And maybe a tad bit of shiny hair gel.

Looking good kiddo! Just. Don’t overdo it with the gel okay?
Chen: “I won’t! I just want to keep my hair out of my face, that’s all!”
I know, I know. I just don’t want you to look back on your youth and cringe. Like your father.
Chen: “Dad?”
*cackling* Oh yeah. I don’t think you’ve ever seen how your dad dressed before he met your mother eh?



Feng’s got her favourite colour too — pink! She’s a real fashionista that girl.

That dye job’s gonna be hard to maintain.
Feng: “Probably. But isn’t the ombre soooo pretty?!”
It is. How much did it cost though?
Feng: “Hmm, enough. Hey Watcher, does this blouse go with this skirt? Or should I ditch it for the skinnies?”
Dodging the ques— Huh? Oh, I— Hmm, I like the skinny jeans a bit more.”
Feng: “Hmm. Yeah. You’re absolutely right. I get the benefit of flaunting my booty while maintaining the illusion of modesty.”
Wait whut.



While I was at it, I decided to give Hailee a quick makeover too because why not? Buy 2 get 1 free eh?



The twins take after their mother. Specifically the lips. And the genetics is especially strong in Feng. She’s practically a spitting image of Ying!
For traits, Chen rolled the GENIUS trait, which is actually quite fitting. While Feng rolled… EVIL.
As for aspirations, Chen rolled the GOOD VAMPIRE aspiration while Feng rolled PUBLIC ENEMY.

Ohhhh booyyy.

Whatta twist! Looks like we’ll be getting a vampire in the family eh?
Feng’s aspiration is a good match with her trait. It looks like she’ll be going down the criminal route… which is honestly not something I had expected. But okay.



In any case, things are about to get real interesting with the up-and-coming Queen ** Bee of Brindleton Bay High entering the scene.
Just look at that exquisite side-eye!



As for Rachid, he’s decided that it’s time for him to move onto the next phase of his life.
All the kids are teens now, and he’s at the top of his career. He’s still too young to retire, but he wants to settle down properly after such a hectic youth.
And he thinks he can find this peaceful happiness with none other than Catarina Lynx. So he sets up a date to pop the question.

But wait what?!

That’s… quite a belly.
Rachid: “Oh. Wow. I guess it’s a good thing I planned to propose today anyways?”

Good thing indeed.
And Catarina is more than happy to accept. She’s been feeling a tad bit lonely herself since the passing of all of her cat babies.
But it looks like the couple will be welcoming a new baby sooner than later ;)



Rachid moves in with Catarina the following day and they elope there and then.

Catarina: “Dear, lets elope.”
Rachid: “Now??”
Catarina: “Yeah. Lets quickly make it official.”
Rachid: “Are you sure? Don’t you want a proper wedding or something? I’m pretty good at organizing stuff like that you know? I’ve done it twice already.”
Catarina: “Gosh. I don’t think I could bear a boring ceremony. Not to mention I doubt I’d fit into a dress with this stomach.
Beside, we’ve got more important things to deal with! I’ve been wanting to talk to you adopting some kitten… are you free to drop by the shelter with me today?”
Rachid: “Well… if it’s okay with you. It’s okay with me. And sure, I’d love to go kitty hunting with you right after!”

Looks like there’s going to be an abundance of furbabies in the duo’s future. (☞゚ヮ゚)☞



Author’s Note:
I won’t be playing Rachid any more from now onward. He’s finally free from the Watcher’s slave driving ways haha ~
That aside, now that the 2nd gen are all teens at last, the focus is going to shift from their parents to them so lets see how that goes :3

Awesome house!  I love how all the teens turned out.  Generation 2 will certainly be interesting.  Looking forward to it!
