An interesting take on the challenge. I like the museums, they're a good mix between between life states and immortal dynasty.

Eivor is stunning! She got her daddy's cheek bones! I wonder how long the blue will last! I love the formal look on her too!

I would think that a she-wolf would prefer to keep her skirts short for ease of movement  :)  I love that dress, it is a store item and one of the best purchases I've made. Her cheek bones are amazing! Eivor is named after the main character from AC Valhalla, but those cheekbones and the black hair remind me of another character from that game named Soma.

Gamer girl, what can I say?  ;D

Indeed! I wasn't sure how I felt about the blue skin at first but it grew on me  :)

Thank you, I love dynasty museums! I think they really showcase the creativity of the authors. I love planning themes for my heirs, it really accentuates their personalities and attributes, makes them unique and lifelike. Sculpting is also one of my favorite skills in Sims 3 and I love how lighting can change their color!

All About Eivor!

When I unchained Eivor from her easel, I decided to let her have some fun. When she aged up to young adult, the only LTW that she rolled that I felt I could complete was Leader of the Pack. In this LTW, the sim must transform 5 others into werewolves and with their pack, hunt $40,000 in collectibles.

Yup, $40,000, I thought for sure that I had shot myself in the foot, or at least the hands.

So I looked at it as a challenge. Eivor was catching creatures that I didn't realize existed in the game, such as will-o-the-wisps and rare butterflies and the elusive glowy-fly.

It also occurred to me that as Eivor was gathering items, she was fulfilling collector challenges. This is something that I had not considered when I was having Eivor learn painting and street art at break neck speed. If I were to do this challenge again (or for real) I would try to have the werewolf heir complete collecting challenges, and save an actual skill as a back up.

By this time in the game, the majority of original townies had died out. What remains are a few of the original long-lived life states, such as the Van Gould children, Branch Timbley, and Marigold Maldano. In spite of having Brida and Eivor run around Moonlight Falls introducing themselves, I found few normal human sims.

So I decided to crack open the Sim Bin and create Eivor a pack....out of her ancestors! Hello Lake Legacy and Collins BBC!

Let us meet the cast!

Lola Lake:

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

First daughter of my my Lake Legacy Family (Not Pinstar, just my own personal family). Lola is the daughter of a sim from the bin, and a male who I have long since forgotten, (he may have been a remodeled Justin Kayes). Lola was a gardener, she was my first to intentionally supermax the gardening skill, her LTW was the Perfect Garden, and her favorite color is green. How appropriate  :)

The Lakes lived first in Sunset Valley, actually two copies of Sunset Valley because my Story Progression mod went crazy (I wound up deleting it). Later, I had to uproot the whole family and they started over in Monte Vista, but that is a story for later. My family files were always reseeded with families from other Sims towns. Hence, how Lola the SV sim married Wei Keane of Twinbrook.

This is Cirilla, daughter of Lola and Wei Keane. I began this game file in the middle of The Witcher on Netflix craze. I also played and highly recommend the video game!

Cirilla is number four of Lola's five daughters. She was a rockstar and daddy's little girl all of her life. Though she was a spare and not my heir, she has always had a special place in my heart. And she is just gorgeous! Orange is not my favorite color to work with, but Cirilla ended up having one of the best Sims wardrobes I have ever designed.

Amity is Lola's great-great grandaughter. Her male ancestors include: Matthew Hemming, Romeo Rake, and Skip Taylor (Uni Sim). She was a spare, not an heir.

Like Cirilla, she was also musically inclined.

Four generations later and deep into the Monte Vista portion of the family tree, we have Camilla! (Spare not heir).

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Camilla was a school teacher and my first sim to reach level 10 of the education career (also known as the most boring career in Sims 3, I am still irritated by the lack of corresponding University degree). She never married and instead adopted a cute beagle. As for her male ancestors....well....just assume every male from Monte Vista  ;)  Camilla's sister, Giada, is Brida's human mother.

The final she-wolf in Eivor's pack is actually Ellaria's sister from my Baby Boomer Challenge. Robyn, who is named after the sim who began my Lake Legacy, was the first born daughter of the BBC. She stayed in the home and helped raise her younger siblings.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Like Ellaria, I do not really consider Robyn to have "canon traits." She was definitely a utility sim and it reflected on her personality. I can say with certainty that she likes children and is very good with them  :)  Robyn was born a witch in the BBC but for the sake of Eivor's LTW she entered Moonlight Falls a human.


Eivor paid these ancestors a visit, with her claws and teeth out.....sorry ladies  :-\   you know how dynasties are.

She-wolves unite!

I still do not know why they insisted on hunting in their formal wear  ???  at least most of them were dressed, Robyn somehow got that weird random outfit and it is so not her! It also appears that I have a bad habit of using the same outfits over and over again  :P

With the help of these fine ladies, Eivor completed her LTW in a week, but she has never fully retired. I still summon her from her dorm so she can get fresh air and socialize with the girls.


(I apologize if this post was off topic, I'm in the homestretch and needed a break from endless requirements.)

The Collins are all beautiful. This life-state dynasty is great. Moonlight Falls has so many great sims.
