My Dreamweaver Legacy Challenge

[Pam]

The ghosts in the family cemetary come out every night.  I've seen as many as 10 at a time.  They come and go all night, so they might all be coming out at one time or another.  I think I have 35 or 40 ghost all together.  They seem to have a social life all their own.  They leave the lot in cars and I haven't been able to find out where they go.  Last night, one ghost had an image of a book and an image of another ghost in his thought bubble.  He was acting excited and jumped in a car, went about a block, switched cars, and then disappeared.  *poof*  He seemed like he was going someplace specific.  It's quite odd and amusing.

I've been taking screenshots of the restored legacy line.  I don't know if I'll be able to get a picture of them all together, but I'll be able to post individual pictures.  I'm keeping the founder on the family lot, but the 2nd and 3rd generation members have moved to a house together, so I don't control them anymore.  I've used up all of my opportunities to restore a ghost and haven't gotten any more yet.

I am currently working on the Legacy Challenge myself and had the funniest thing happen.  The founders wife died and was soon haunting the house and making meals anytime she wanted.  She did not stay put during the day, but would be found napping in one of the beds upstairs.  One of the times she had raided the kitchen, note here that she was a level 10 cook when she died, she made and ate ambrosia.  I almost fell out of my chair when all of a sudden, I had a full family again.  Was tough on the kids when she died for the second time though.  Off I go to play with my legacy some more.......

Happy Simming!!

Wow!  I haven't heard that one before!  I'm guessing you were storing deathfish and life fruit in the refrigerator?

[wildredchild]

Yep, was storing both in the fridge for a day or so before going into town to cash in on the fishing and gardening items at the grocery store.  Was hecka funny when it happened and she re-lived her entire elder 'years'.

After I created my new house, I think it was like 3 days later, I was going to sleep, then I heard the door bell and a ghost was there.  Lol!

I haven't played my Legacy family much lately because of other projects, but today I played it and brought in the 12 generation of Dreamweavers!  Twin boys named Alpha and Beta.

Pam- 
      Did you keep score for your Legacy?    I just started mine and I hate to say it but I hate keeping score....

[Pam]

Yes, I kept score.  But I never saw anyone posting scores.  They were all just writing stories about their legacy families.  I ended up with a total of 89 points.

I started today and took a break from all of the challenges I have been working on because they are starting to drag on and with no aging up and no kids I needed a change of pace.    So far so good.  I need to have someone paint a portrait of the gen 1 before she dies.  I haven't decided if I am going to blog or not I have been taking pictures though.  I've never blogged before. I am afraid that I will spend more time blogging  then playing. 

Pam-  How did you balance your time between blogging and playing?  Any guidelines that worked well for you?

[Pam]

At first I thought I'd document the whole thing with a blog, but I quickly grew tired of it.  So many things happen so fast in the game that I just couldn't keep up with the story for a blog.  And honestly, I didn't really care for the other blogs I was seeing.  A couple were alright, but most of them were just odd to me.  As a result, I don't post as often as I would like, but when I do, it's pretty funny or interesting.  At least I hope it is!  Lol.

I say just do what you enjoy most.  If you enjoy playing, then just play.  Blogging can wear a person down sometimes. 

[Kreathyr]

I agree Pam.
When playing sometimes a lot happens in a row and you just forget half of it or write a very long blog entry (in my case just this forum)
Other times you can play through a whole 'simweek' and nothing notably happens.

It all comes down to your own wishes really.

[Honeymooners]

I think I might just start a thread in one of the forums and post the big events and the good photos. 

Thanks for the advice.  I was starting to feel like the only way to have a great Legacy is to do a huge elaborate blog.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I have two legacies, my Superbia Matriarchy, and the Ladro Legacy.  My Superbia Matriarchy has 8 generations, though the 8th gen is just at child stage.  I have 69 points.  I log mine at Sims3 Legacy. 

There's this document someone made to keep track and I can email it to you since the dl isn't working.  I don't know how to set up a dl and give links, so if someone tells me how I can get it up.

I don't know how to set up a dl and give links, so if someone tells me how I can get it up.  

I use sendspace for things like that.

It's very simple, just Browse to the file on your computer, Upload File and after a little while you get a download link. Copy and paste that.

You can type in your own email address and you will get the link emailed to you, otherwise it's gone when you close the browser window. Also you can register so you can go back and find your files later.
But you don't need to do either of those things. I usually use the email option so the link is saved in my inbox, they won't spam you with annoying newsletters and such.

Of course the link goes dead after a while.

Il have to give this a crack, I believe I will have a legacy of writers.
