The Lawsons: A Semi-Traditional Legacyish Story [Updated 12/26/2012]

[Axiom]

Forward: In celebration of getting an awesome new laptop with great specs for the Sims 3, I have decided to start a story.
Instead of making a traditional Legacy, I decided to attempt something different: I will attempt to accomplish EVERY single LTW for every EP I have [I have everything except Supernatural and Seasons].

I think the result would be a family full of interesting characters.
I've set a few minor rules for myself:
No cheating [except reset sim when necessary]
Rich spouses are off-limits to founder
Family oriented rule... every heir will be family oriented.
Every generation will have a minimum of two kids.

The story will end when I accomplish every LTW, or something bad happens and I can't play it anymore. Or, I get bored. Whichever comes first.

The family will be living at 1007 Pomona Promenade in Appaloosa Plains. I was thinking Union Cove, but after playing it last night [and crashing, which may have been caused by registry errors] I decided against it.

Gen 1 Chapter 1, The Beginning: Meet Sybil Lawson and a Whole Lot of NOTHING


Sybil: What am I doing in this room?
Voice: You're here because I needed a decent place to introduce you and you don't even have enough Simoleons to put together a decent house!
Sybil: Just who are you?
Voice: I go by many names, but you can call me the Voice. I control EVERYTHING! Muwhahaha--Ahem.


Sybil: And what am I doing here?
Voice: You're going to live here, that's what!
Sybil: But--!
Voice: But nothing! All great families have to start with nothing!
Sybil: Not even a bed?
Voice: All right... next to nothing.


Voice: There, happy?
Sybil: Its better than nothing, I suppose. Now I want to go to work... maybe in the business career...
Voice: Oh right, I forgot how much of a Workaholic you are.... While you're at it, you might as well try to find a husband too.
Sybil: I don't plan on getting married yet!
Voice: Too bad. You're getting a husband... or a wife and have babies, thanks to the magic of SCIENCE!

[Magz from Oz]

That's an interesting task you've set for yourself.  Great introduction.  I'll be reading.

[Axiom]

Thank you!
I will appreciate any form of feedback, so long as its not flaming.

Btw, I did not list her personality traits at the beginning because I thought it would be more fun to mention them along the way... Mystery and all that.

[Louise56]

Great start! I can't wait to see who the lucky spouse is.

Gen 1 Chapter 2: Potential Spouses and Getting Our Priorities Straight

Voice: And just where do you think you're going?
Sybil: I'm going to get a job in the Business district.
Voice: You need a spouse first!
Sybil: I don't want to get married yet!
Voice: Spouse!
Sybil: Job!
Voice: Spouse!
Sybil: Job!
*hours later*
Voice: I give up!
Sybil: YAY!
Voice: BUT! I get to choose your spouse!
Sybil: Just make them a good sort. I want to raise my kids in a stable environment, after all, I am family oriented.


Sybil: What am I doing here?
Voice: Welcome to the Unfettered with Feathers household... aka, prime single female and male Sim country.
Sybil:...Oh. But what if no one who lives here is a good sort of person?
Voice: Don't worry, there's plenty of bachelor[ettes] around.


Voice: I think Hailey here would make a good spouse.
Sybil: For once, we are agreed. I'm not getting the same creepy vibe I got from my boss, Benjamin Schmdit. But first, lets make her a roommate.
Voice: Agreed.

[Louise56]

I didn't realize Hailey is so pretty! I must play more with townies. She is a good choice.

Generation 1, Chapter 3: One Step at a Time and the Voice Shows off Her Inability to Build

Sybil: Okay, so now what?
Voice: Now you invite her over!
Sybil: Why do I do that?
Voice: So you can ask her to move in!
Sybil: Why couldn't I do that before?
Voice: Because the funds from selling the stuff she brings with her will help build you a house! And that's even before getting married!
Sybil: *nods thoughtfully* I see.


Sybil: I think I'll invite her out... Since I don't even have a proper house to show her.


Sybil: Okay, what now?
Voice: Just talk to her until she gets in the right mood. It might take a while.
Sybil: But-!
Voice: No buts, just trust me on this!
*a while later*
Voice: See what I mean?
Sybil: I do.
Voice: Now when you two come home, I have a surprise waiting....


Voice: TADA!
Sybil: You call that a house? How come there's only one bed?
Voice: You'll see...

Not bad, though your writing style isn't really much of my taste, I like the concept.

[Louise56]

Sybil must be glad there are walls lol. I like your writing style, it is light and entertaining.

Sybil must be glad there are walls lol. I like your writing style, it is light and entertaining.

That's what I was aiming for. :3 Now hopefully I'll have an update coming in the next day or so. As the holidays approach, things are getting crazy.

Gen 1, Chapter 4: In Which there is Flirting and the Voice Gets Jealous Because She is Single


Voice: And what's this? You two are sleeping together already?
Sybil: Well... She was very romantic and flirty toward me. See?


Voice: Well that's in her nature. She's a Hopeless Romantic. Her LTW is contrary to what I want now, but her traits are going to help earn money.
Sybil: How?
Voice: Well, I think writing books is quite lucrative.


Voice: It seems she brought out the romantic side of you, even though you don't have a single romantic trait.
Sybil: Well... I feel like she completes me somehow.
Voice: I'm in no hurry for you two to have kids, but I think... A wedding party would be nice!


Author's Aside:
I realize I forgot to post the inside of the house last time. So, here it is, just two rooms and a square shape. And my lack of decorating  skills... the randomize button is my friend!

[Louise56]

I use the randomize button a lot lol. Looking forward to the wedding.

[Snufflesxx]

Just a little bit confused about how you're going to have nooboos with this couple without cheats but I am enjoying it so far 

[Axiom]

Mods. I like them.
