Another update. (Seems these are replacing what should be chapters in my story. >_>)
We had reserved a fan at a PC shop and were going to collect it today. Then, my Mum changed her mind, decided to cancel the reservation and order a cheap gel pad instead, just to save thirty pounds. We got it today and of course, it doesn't work - in fact, my laptop shuts down even earlier than it used to. It doesn't help that my Mum is against me liking Sims, because in her opinion it's just silly and useless, and a lot of other horrible things. So she's a bit reluctant to be getting any of this anyways.
We have ordered a decent (hopefully) fan and a can of compressed air on Amazon. I haven't a clue when it will arrive. I will try, somehow, to get going with this legacy and try and try to get at least one generation done a month (although it should be a lot, lot more than that) as well as compete in the challenge tournament when the fan comes, all while trying to get my needed 5 As in my 5 exams at school this year. I don't know how I'll do it, but the potential is still there. I'll need to give up sleep or something.
I wish I could be like the rest, and majority of the storywriters on this forum, who are able to update regularly and have lovely screenshots and brilliant writing and are at least able to entertain you all as well as actually completing a legacy/dynasty challenge. I know a lot of you who read this legacy are either attempting or already have completed a challenge before. I wanted to do that, too. I wanted to start an Immortal Dynasty once I had completed this, but it seems this will not even be half finished by the time Sims 4 comes out. It certainly won't be at the rate I'm currently going. I play TS3 to escape reality for a bit and have fun and take a break from all the problems I've got going on at home, but things are constantly plaguing and attacking it all. It's like fate just doesn't want me to be able to do anything or have any fun.
I'm probably going overboard, sorry. xD I have the over-emotional trait.
If the new fans aren't here by January the 9th, when I begin school, I am going to simply abandon everything from the day they get here and my schedule will literally just become studying and simming, so I can actually have a chance of getting somewhere in my exams, the challenge tourny and this legacy. The new year resolution is Generation 20 by the end of next year.
I hope everything work out for you!
Thank you, I do too.
