Hello! Welcome to my Short Dynasty! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Mpart and I've been playing the sims for roughly... five years I want to say? I started right before the Sims 4 was about to come out. I actually discovered the sims by stumbling upon a story here on Carls and going "huh." I had
heard of the sims, but it was the first time I really looked into it. I have been playing on and off ever since and that's a little about me!
This will be my fourth recorded attempt at a short dynasty and seventh attempt in general. My other attempts fell apart due to a variety of reasons, some out of my control, but mostly I got bored. I tend to get bored easily. My last attempt I got pretty far in, but decided to end it and stopped playing sims. I got back into the sims after a major life event and started my
four immortal sisters challenge. I have been having a blast and that's why I decided to start another challenge and I'll probably be talking about it here and there because of a sim from it is in this story.
Anyway, the reason I specifically decided to start yet another short dynasty? This lovely story right
here. It's called the Honeyheart Short Dynasty and I binge-read it in a day. If you haven't read it, go! Go read it! It's great.
Let's cover a few things before we get into the story:
- I'll be following these
rules.
- Extra bonus points will be given for portraits and sculptures of family members directly from the heir/heiress's line.
- Edit town is not off limits in
dire circumstances.
- The next heir/heiress is the first child who inherit's Spydon's purple eye color.
- The repoman and I are at war. If I see them, I will delete them, set them on fire, or just whine for several pictures. I hate them and they hate me. They show up more than the Grim Reaper does in my short dynasties and have repossessed one of my pets (a turtle) before. They may win a battle or two, but they will
not survive this war.
This is my founder, Spydon Timeless! He's a witch and I absolutely love him and his sass. This will be the third attempt I have tried to do a short dynasty with him. The first one he had the heartbreaker lifetime wish and I finished it before his adult birthday with the help of three vacation days. I also tried to combine the perfect genetics challenge with the short dynasty challenge and that was a mistake.
A big mistake.
He got nine of his ex-girlfriends pregnant and all of his children didn't have the perfect genetics. Ever tried to raise five babies, three toddlers, and one child on short lifespan? IT'S NOT FUN.
Eventually, he ended up crying into the arms of one of his ex-girlfriends who came to live with him to help him raise so many children. It was sad and stressful so I deleted the save and started again.
I started another attempt and it was going okay. The next generation was born, but then I realized something about Spydon: he's a male Aries. For all of you who don't know who Aries is, she's my crazy fire sister from my four immortal sisters challenge. She causes a lot of havoc. I put them together in game and couldn't stop laughing, which is where we are today.
Oh! I also want to make a clarification they came from the same Dragon Valley save (the family tree got super convoluted in the save and the game doesn't register them as related) and were both born in game, so that's where their genetics come from. They both take heavily after the Dragon Valley families, but you can't really see it unless you look for it. For that reason, I will not ever be moving the family to Dragon Valley because things would get really weird.
Holy crap, I have more stuff to ramble about. We're almost done, guys and then we'll jump into the story.
(The background is a backdrop from JenniSims)
For each generation, I'll be making a picture and a pose unique to them which will signify we are starting that generation. I'll be taking a break after each generation to update/create a family tree, update/create a post with the current points, etc. All fun stuff. NOW, we're done and can officially start this!
Spydon purchased an empty lot in Lucky Palms. I placed a studio down near it so the actress and director careers would be available for future generations
and Aries.
"You really don't leave anything to suspense, do you?"
Nope.
I had Spydon rush to meet Aries before story progression automatically decided to pair her up with someone.
"It's disturbing you created a female version of myself."
It's the other way around, buddy. Just you wait.
"I get a feeling you're going to disappoint me."
At least I'll get pretty babies from you two then.
Aries and Spydon met and had hearts fly up in the air twice. I didn't even know that was possible.
"She doesn't look too bad."
Buddy, just be happy you're in her league.
"You act like this is going to be so difficult! Ha! A good wink always works--"
"Watcher this baby daddy is too confident. Dispose of him."
Aries, wrong challenge.
"What?
You think you can win me over with
my signature move?"
"Uh...your what?"
"I'm not some randomly generated sim! I'm GOLD. I'm one of my Watcher's favorite sims. Get on your knees and BEG. Compliment me, woo me, give me flowers. Maybe I'll consider. Maybe I'll send my sisters after you. The only person who plays games is ME."
"Excuse--"
"I have a basement filled with jellybean bushes and it's calling your name!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's WRONG with me?"
It was at this point I had to pause the game from laughing so hard and then message my friend before I could continue.
I mean, just LOOK at this.
"Alright, Watcher. She's too crazy. How about I get back together with the last one. What was her name? Casey?"
Cassidy? She had three of your children?
"Yeah, Chelsea sounds great. I want to be back with her again."
Not happening.
"Fine."
"Oh wise, beautiful Aries, please accept my apology. I did not mean to offend someone
so great."
"I accept your apology."
"I...thank you?"
The great thing about Aries is that she can't tell when someone is using sarcasm.
"Hey! No one was using sarcasm. Don't be ridiculous, Watcher."
Okay.
"So, as a fellow attractive person, how do you feel about Lucky Palms?"
"I am attractive! Yes."
"I...don't know how to respond to that."
They both have the irresistible trait incase anyone was wondering. This dynasty is going to be a mess.
"My name is Spydon and I--"
"I don't care. Get back to the wooing, Sean."
"This is making me uncomfortable."
Aries has that effect on people, yes.
"You know what
I like? Snakes. I have this cute little snake named Poison Widow...you brought her along, right Watcher?"
Uh...no?
"Well, there goes THAT conversation."
"I'm a fan of snakes."
"Maybe you're not so bad after all then."
Awwwwww.
They played a game of rock, paper, scissors together because that makes sense.
"You know Aries, you're the definition of crazy, but you're the most stunning woman I have ever seen."
"Awww, that's sweet of you. I know that of course, but I like hearing other people say it."
"You're welcome."
These two are a mess.
"The Watcher thinks she's going to be controlling how this whole thing goes. Isn't that hilarious?"
"That IS hilarious!"
Hahaha. Very funny.
Well, I've reached the picture limit! I'll be back with more chapters soon! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the Timeless Short Dynasty!
