Welcome!

Hello!

Well, to start off, I'm a Sims 3 player. I play it here and there between work, school, and life... but I just recently started a new legacy. I've never blogged my legacies before, so I figured I'd give it a shot this time around.

I don't follow all of the rules for the Legacy Challenge created by Pinstar. I don't use cheats, etc., but I do create most of my own sims for my town because I'm not big on the ones that come pre-loaded. If you're a stickler to the official Legacy Challenge rules and want to know how my games differ, the main rules I break are:

Any sim may be moved into the Legacy Family via marriage or move-in except for the following:
Sims created by the player

and,

... there is a very specific lot that must be used. If you move into Riverview, you must move into “345 Riverblossom Hills Drive”.  If you move into Sunset Valley, you will be moving into “15 Summer Hill Court”.

 As stated before, I don't like most of the sims that are pre-loaded into the towns. So I make my own, place them into random houses, and let them live/interact with my legacy as they please via story progression. The second rule listed, though it is the base for the game, I don't tend to follow. I'll sometimes move them into an empty lot, but if I don't have the time to sit and build a house (I get extremely picky when I build!), I move them into a cheap-o to start playing right away until I have the real life time to sit and build a house that I like. I don't know. I'm weird like that.

I do play the legacies through the generations, though. I don't use cheats, as I said before, and I strive to go through all ten generations before moving on to a new family. Sometimes I just get bored with the plotline of a current family, though, and move on to a different one and let my old one progress as it pleases. For me, it's not so much about following the specific rules as it is being entertained and having fun the way I'd like. :) So if I'm posting a legacy that you like, and I start to get bored with it, tell me to keep going. If you like it, I'll try and keep posting it and put more effort into making it interesting.

Oh, I only have one expansion pack, too, so my games are pretty standard. It's High End Loft Stuff, which I know is like, one of the lamest ones out. But I got it for 15 bucks, so I can't complain. I'm hoping to acquire Ambitions and Pets when I get the money.

Ask me questions if you have them! I'm gonna try and do some advertising to get some readers, and I'll probably start posting my current game, The Baron Legacy, sometime today and tomorrow.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like what I have to offer!
