IMMORTAL COTTONEYESPrologueWatcher: Oops.
H.C.: What’s the matter?
Watcher: We seem to have gone backward instead of forward.
H.C.: Well, let’s just get into the time portal and go forward again.
Watcher: I don’t think that’s going to work. There’s some kind of malfunction. Let me just check our SimPS coordinates – Oh! We’re in Roaring Heights. Actually, as long as we’re here, I do have a teeny-weeny, itty-bitty, little favor to ask of you.
H.C.: What?
Watcher: Well, you see, I’ve started one several times, but I've never actually completed an Immortal Dynasty.
H.C.: No.
Watcher: And it’s very unlikely that your ancestor, Hunter, will ever be involved in one because, let’s face it, he’s not really spouse or helper material.
H.C.: Back to the time portal. Now.
Watcher: I’m afraid if we do that, we might end up in Dragon Valley or Midnight Hollow.
H.C.: So you’re saying we’re stuck here.
Watcher: For the next eight generations, yes.
H.C.: What do I have to do?
Watcher: Well, it should be easier than what you had to do for the Townie Decadynasty. You’ll have to reach the top of your career, supermax a skill, complete six black ops, complete your lifetime wish, have six best friends—
H.C.: And I’ve already done all that, so the rest shouldn’t be too hard.
Watcher: Well, no, dear, you’ll have to start over.
H.C.: But I could supermax the bot building skill, right?
Watcher: Um, no, I’m going to have to take the time portal in for repairs. But as soon as you finish this, I promise, I'll send you to Oasis Landing for as long as you want. And I’ll get you a Young Again potion or something.
H.C.: Do I have a choice?
Watcher: You could always go to Dragon Valley and get pointy ears.
H.C.: Okay, but I don’t want any zombies this time around. Or vampires, fairies, or paparazzi.
Watcher: I think I can arrange that.
H.C.: And I don’t think my kids should have to suffer through prom or trudge miles to school in the snow.
Watcher: Okay.
H.C.: And no funny episodes about me or my family. Just plain, weekly updates.
Watcher (crossing fingers): Sure.
H.C.: All right, then.
Watcher: Now, we just have to make a few changes.
H.C.: What?!
Watcher: To your wardrobe. And hair style. And I’ll give you a less generic nose. And some different traits – you can’t do bot fan, so how about savvy sculptor, and instead of insane, let’s have artistic. Oh, and let’s go with Hunt for your first name rather than Hunter. Yes, I think you’ll do quite well.
H.C.: I’m a totally different person!
Watcher: Not really. Your eyes are still the same, and everyone says that the eyes are windows to the soul. Now, let’s get started.
Note: I’ll be playing in Roaring Heights, with World Adventures, Ambitions, Showtime, and University Life, and the stuff packs High End Loft, Fast Lane, and Master Suite. I'm also using the store content Jazz Age, Ragtime in the Big Easy, and Divo and Diva, plus others. Naming theme will be “immortals” of the 1920s and 30s. No mods, but I’ll be using some of Trip’s tips to achieve non-generic spouses, and “borrowing” LivvieLove’s idea of shining colored lights on ice sculptures. I’m also indebted to ratchie and the other contributors to the Immortal Dynasty Tips thread.
