simtopi: (friends)
I'm going to try something different for both my game and my neighbourhood legacy. Generation 3 will have a more solid plot line rather than having my game decide the story for me, as well I'm going to try to introduce the supernatural elements because I haven't really given myself a chance to play with those before. So far, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Hope you enjoy!

note: I will try to make Generation 3 it's own contained story so it's not necessary to catch up with the legacy except to get background on characters.



Find any bugs?
Willow: No.. not yet... I think it's too cold for bugs.

This is a fairly hefty update (120 + pics or so), but it is the last part in this chapter.

This part of the story starts where this one left off here: [ link ]

Denise was happy to see her sister at the door even if it was 4 in the morning. She was surprised to see her so pregnant.

The Marlens had made enough money from Desmond being a celebrity chef that they were able to move from the cozy shack they loved into a bigger shack out in the hills. However this old house had enough room for the organic garden that Desmond always wanted. They kept the old bones of the place and retrofitted it with green power sources. It was important to the Marlens to be as low impact to the environment as they could be.

Peregrin and Kestrel Marlen had gone off to college. Their first dorm was at the Suzuki House, the same dorm their sister Elf roomed in, but they quickly found that the dorm wasn't all that accepting of their more creative pursuits, and it was difficult for both of them to maintain the 4.0 grade point average that was mandatory to stay there. At the same time, Craig Baird had used his scholarship money and a loan from his dad to rent a house instead of moving into a dorm. Since he was best friends with Peregrin, it was an easy enough decision to invite him and his brother to stay with him to help offset the costs of living.

(Don't worry, folks, hopefully we'll be done with the craptastic game camera screenshots after this batch. )

When we last left Elf Marlen, she had just graduated from University and broken up with Clive the night before. Unfortunately, her family heard all about it. Lin Lin, Elf's mother, didn't take too kindly to the news.

Clive and Audrey spend an evening sitting on the weedy lawn, looking at the stars and reminiscing about their school years. Despite it all, they were still friends. Clive never saw Jennifer Elmsley again, no matter how often she called. But he never heard from Elf for the remainder of the school year either.

Note: Again, some of these pics are poor quality because they were taken on my non-gaming laptop so the graphic settings were low. However, half of them really have no excuse. I haven’t downloaded any custom content at this point and I was lazy about taking screenshots.

Read the Prologue.

Note: Some of  these following pics are older, and pretty low quality. They were taken when I was playing the Sims on my non-gaming laptop, so graphics look like crap. However, they are part of the foundation of my neighbourhood, so I’m posting them as is. Hopefully the story behind them will be more significant. I will have nicer Sim pics of everyone here later on.

Clive stayed in a crappy dorm in college because his dad, Senator Garret Baird,  wanted him to get through college “honestly” without any help from him. That didn’t matter to Clive.. his old man was spending too much time campaigning and ignoring his mother to bother with Clive anyway. Clive couldn’t say he enjoyed his college years though. He studied a lot to keep on top of his grades and there was too much drama.

Clive Baird is the eldest son of the Baird family.

Elf Marlen is the eldest daughter of the Marlen clan.

Originally this Sim-god had it in her head to match join these two very different families through Elf and Clive, but unfortunately the Sim-God is pretty petty and often bored. Drama got in the way.

Desmond

Desmond Marlen is the patriarch of this family. As the story goes, his parents travelled the country in a beat up van, making their living by performing on the streets and doing odd jobs like working in the kitchens of various restaurants. They finally settled in a nearby commune where Desmond and his little brother, Nate, grew up. When Desmond was a teenager, he decided to move out of the commune and pursue his own living. He made enough money to buy a house near the outskirts of New SimTopi, by the hills. Nate moved in with him soon afterwards.
