Goldbeard RLC Chapter 132: Veracity is posted.
|
|
Hi, I am updating early as my workplace is closed due to snow. Chapter 3.7
|
|
2.0 - A New Generation
This chapter was suppose to go out two weeks ago. Unfortunately, despite being on vacation, I ended up with a cold. So I've spent the past couple weeks curled up in bed. Pregnancy and sickness are not a good combo. |
|
@kadience Hope you feel better!
I've got a new chapter too: Gen 8 Ch 1: Where the Heart Is EDIT: And another one! Gen 8 Ch 2: Back |
Happy Monday!
Goldbeard RLC Chapter 134: Two Dimensions is up. Edit: Happy Friday! Chapter 135: The Less You Know is up. |
I have another update, Chapter 3.8
|
|
*Waves hand* Hey guys! I'm still around, even though I haven't been very active lately. I've been incredibly busy with real life stuff. Between work and family, I just haven't been able to find time for much, until this weekend. Phew. I'm almost caught up with everybody's legacies again (still struggling to catch up with the Winterly's and melynx's legacy, but I'm getting there)!
If all goes well, the next Marquel update will not be too far off either. ![]() |
*pokes head in*
Hi, I'm new here, but I've been a fan of the Sims since the Sims 1 ![]() I've tried to do legacies in the past, but something always seems to go wrong. I hope it won't happen this time round... |
Good to hear from you Ann! Real life gets tricky sometimes.
Hi new person! Welcome to the challenge! The RLC was my first legacy as well, but all these years later, it has not lost its appeal. Let us know if we can help out or clarify anything for you. |
There is one thing that needs clarifying: Does the founder/heir need to complete their lifetime wish as well as the generation goal?
And I managed to write up the first part of my legacy! The Street Random Legacy: Chapter 1.1 - #foreveralone http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...reveralone.html Sorry if there's grammar mistakes. It's late and my brain has stopped working D: |
If you rolled Fulfilled as the Generation Goal, you must complete your founder/heir's LTW. Otherwise nothing in the rules requires it.
|
Thank you, sorry for being a noob D:
Also, my game really hates me right now. It's crashed on me twice in the space of half an hour. I keep having to save every five minutes... Make that three times. Are you kidding me? I've just lost my save file. ://///// Edit: Found it. Thank God, I would have cried if it was really gone D: |
Just a tip I read once: apparently it's much better to use 'save as' instead of 'save' when saving your game. Apparently saving over the same save file several times makes it prone to corruption, so it's safer to create a new one each time you save. Yes, that takes more disc space, but you can simply go in and delete old saves you're not likely to use anymore.
![]() Also, about your crashes, @slashbanghorror, are you using nraas mods like overwatch and errortrap? Those can help prevent a lot of things that cause lag and crashes. (That is, if those crashes are due to something within the game. Maybe you're just running low on RAM?) |
Ah, that sounds like a good idea
![]() And I’m not using any mods. I had a mod installed with made witches learn spells faster, but that’s about it. I’ll check my RAM and everything, as well as give my laptop a good clean out. It’s pretty old D: Anyway, my first Gen Two spawn is nearly a child ![]() |
Welcome to the challenge, slashbanghorror! I'll parrot melynx and suggest you take a look at the Nraas mods - especially Story Progression, in addition to the ones melynx mentioned, since you mentioned you've had issues with legacies in the past. Story Progression will help keep your town balanced and prevent it from stagnating, which makes playing a legacy challenge much smoother.
![]() |
Just popping in to say I am still around just swamped with RL things. I'm hoping to put out an update this weekend.
|
Agreeing with @ConvictedDreamer ! @slashbanghorror , a few pages back we were discussing useful mods for legacy gameplay in this thread. Might be a good idea to check it out! Definitely get StoryProgression though
![]() @Keyneky Looking forward to that update! In the meanwhile, I've got a new one up: Gen 8 Ch 3: To the Future ITF spoilers if you've never seen Oasis Landing, I guess! No spoilers about the ITF narrative and opportunity chains though, I completely ignored those for the story XD |
So, I’ve installed the Overwatch and Story Progression mods, and loaded up the game to check that they are installed.
However, I have thought of something else. Usually, when the game crashes, I move to a new neighbourhood and everything fixes itself. I’ll move my Sims to a new neighbourhood and see if that works, too. Thanks for the tips, everyone :D Ahhhh, I've got the next chapter up, but it's not the best one and I'm not too happy about it: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ur-toddler.html It's because I got too caught up trying to teach Violet to walk, talk, use the potty, and read nine books to her that I forgot to screenshot everything D: I was unsatisfied with where I left off the last chapter, so I added a bit more. I now have a second child to raise, though having done it once it shouldn't be too hard to do it again, right? |
Welcome to the challenge slashbanghorror! It sounds like the save file may have been corrupted if everything worked well in a new neighborhood? This does tend to happen after a while, and a lot of people also use the Nraas porter mod when moving to preserve their family tree and sim relationships. But if you do use errortrap and overwatch it may help to prolong your save so you don't have to move so often.
Finally got this chapter posted: Chapter 9.9 "I Want a Cat!" |
Hey hey!
First of all, sorry for the quality of the photos on the blog. I've changed the blog theme and increased the photo size, so hopefully it looks better now. Second of all, I have a new update: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...-of-riches.html I'm not working right now (though I am looking for jobs), and now that my game is actually working, I've been able to play and update a lot. Hope it's more interesting for you guys D: |
Goldbeard RLC Chapter 136 is posted.
|
2.1 - Babies
I have another three chapters that I've already taken pictures and written the chapters for. I think. xD I have absolutely no energy to even go double check now. As it is, today is the first time in about a week where I've used my laptop for something more than just watching movies. I'm so tired of being pregnant. I have no energy, I can't sleep, I can't do housework. Can this end already? I miss being able to sit at my computer desk and actually play sims. |
Hello again all!
Another chapter so soon? Why yes! http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ng-happens.html I was planning on posting it tomorrow, but due to real life getting in the way in the form of driving lessons, I decided to post it today. It's a long chapter with a lot of stuff happening, but hopefully it'll be okay! |
Adding to the updates
![]() Chapter 3.16 - Life In Its Purest Form In which there's a fight, a prom, and a cute cat. XD As a bonus there's also a Chapter 3.16 Interlude , which basically just showcases the genetics of the next generation. Since the founders of my town are all (mostly) familiar sims, I thought people might be interested to see how the genetics mixed. ![]() |
Hi, I have another update, Chapter 3.9
|
Long wait but I finally have an update too; a bit of a filler chapter but the next one shall follow sooner
![]() 1.5 - Mom talk |
|
Hello!
I have another chapter: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...-and-sweet.html I'm sorry for the filler quality of it, but I do announce the heir at the end! |
Hey guys! It's been a while. I'm working on catching up with everyone's legacies, but I've missed a lot so I'm busy running through and grabbing the last year or so's worth of chapters. I love that so many of you are still active and your stories are as quality as ever :D
Yesterday I opened the Sims 3 for the first time in probably over a year, and I'm super excited to start playing again! I made a little blog post, not really a full chapter but more of a journal entry-type post in preparation for my new legacy save. It's really short, but I really just wanted to get my thoughts down before diving back in. Welcome to Twinbrook/"Chapter 0" |
I'm so so tempted to start a randomcy again, blog and all. I just cannot stay serious with my stories though. At first I'm all like *ambitious, plans chapters* and then it all falls apart and they have 8 cats and never leave the house.
|
|
8 cats, eh? I have enough problems with "only" four cats interrupting my sims' actions. D:
Anyway, Goldbeard RLC Chapter 137: Free Up Space is posted. |
Hey, guys.
So I am going to be very busy the next few days, so I'm going to publish two chapters tomorrow. I have a migraine forming and can't really proofread right now. I have completed a chapter, but I often proofread at least five times to check for mistakes, and I can't do that tonight. So tomorrow there will be two chapters, followed by a break because I am a busy person the next few days D: |
Hey Slash, sorry about your migraine. Don't worry about updating every day or keeping a schedule. None of us do.
![]() |
Hello!
So here's the first chapter update: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ay-inferno.html And there's the second: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...end-of-era.html Hopefully I'll be able to get back to the Street's soon, after everything has calmed down a bit. |
last chapter for Gen 3, Chapter 3.10

The Sparrows have an update! should have titled it 'Jet's a little sh*t' but we already knew that about him. Besides, he's in good company in that regard.
1.24 The Weird Route Home Nice to meet you, @Slashbanghorror! I just had a break for a few weeks! Oh ho ho ho ho! (I mean, l-let's all be responsible...) |
Hope you're feeling better, slashbanghorror!
First real chapter is up -- still a little short, I'm playing super slow because I'm still having way too much fun with the little things :p Chapter 1: Exposition |
Hi there! I'm thinking of using a randomcy to get back into The Sims 3 and I was wondering if the blogspot shown in the first post still the most updated version of the rules? Just wanted to make sure before I rolled my first generations rules!
|

A fun/somber Sparrow update?
Lots of pictures in this one, but I had to! It becomes obvious about halfway through why that is. ;P 1.25 One Foot an Four Toes |
Hey guys!
I'm back! I've been able to play some Sims recently, and I am ready to get the first chapter of Generation Two together! I should have it up sometime tomorrow. |
|
5.16 Mirror
The kids are starting to get a bit of a personality, and Neda finds herself in a few uncomfortable situations. |
I am back with a new chapter: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...co-dancing.html
Yeah, the migraine issue is back, but it usually fixes itself. In the meantime, Generation Two is underway! |
|
|
I feel like I haven't posted an update in forever! But here's one, finally: 9.10 "Poisoned Apple"
|
5.17 Feast
A short, simple chapter where the entire family gets to meet again. And Neda tries her hand at dating. |
|
I decided to start a second legacy blog! Goldbeard RLC will still update along with this one, no worries.
1.1 Sul Sul! |
I love your new blog, Becky! Eagerly anticipating some nooboos :D
I've got a new chapter up too! It's a little on the short side because I had to cut it in half. :0 Gen 8 Ch 6: Going Green |
Holy buckets am I behind on reading. ;-;
Work has been bonkers, etc., etc. I'm sure you all are aware that my life gets out of hand sometimes. XD I have a couple of projects I'm working on right now, but I'm hoping to have a day off this week so I can catch up on reading!! I miss you all! <3 <3 |
Owly!!! Miss you too! Life in general does tend to get out of hand, but it's always good to know that missing RLCers are still alive ;D
|
Yay! Owls hasn't left us. I knew she wouldn't. <3
|
Ahhhh!
Sorry, I had to deal with health issues, but I am back (for now) with a new chapter: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ersion-two.html It's short, but at least Gen Three is on the way now. |
I could never leave you guys! <3 Especially since I'll have a ton of free time coming up in about a month! And it looks like I'll have Thursday off for reading and being awesome. 8)
So a quick note, for the purpose of transparency--I had to reinstall my games because a thunderstorm fried my computer. My husband fixed it AND saved the Bees (I think--I haven't tested ALL my saves yet, but I'm working on it), but it reset everything including my age span. So I'm kinda breaking the rules because I think I set the age span higher (I don't remember what it was at, but it was pretty high so I set it to the longest possible for everything except babies). I figured it's no big deal, but I wanted to rant and rules seemed to be a good vehicle for that. XD Also, I uploaded Karl to my tumblr, just in case anyone other than Annie wanted him. ![]() |
Phew! Good thing Mr Owly is a computer whiz and saved the Bees! O_O And they got some additional days of life out of it, which sounds like a win to me tbh.
Thank you so much for uploading Karl! I promise to feed him and walk him and clean up his messes <3 |
Ouch! I'm glad all of your saves are okay! When I saw the tumblr post about a fried computer I somehow thought it was a repost and someone else's computer got fried.
Anyway, bad April 1st joke was bad. So here's the real chapter: 1.1 Haze of Sunset |
I am back with a new, slightly bittersweet, chapter: Chapter 2.3 - Of Death and Face Clones
|
I've been unexpectedly lately, and my save file keeps crashing, so Chapter 2 is out earlier than expected. Short one again, hopefully when my frustration wears off I'll have more screenshots to share with you all
![]() ![]() Chapter 2: Finding and Getting People to Like You Edit: Good to see you back Owl face!! Glad your sims are doing OK ![]() |
Yay, welcome back Owly!
![]() |
Aaaand two whole months later, here I am with an update!
2.45 All is Well EDIT: While updating my other asylum blog, I got really nostalgic for the legacy that led to one of the sims in that blog and decided to make a proper blog for that family too... I've put up all the chapters I have written out, I'll just link the first and last one here. There are 12 in total so far! 1.1 Just so 1.12 Glacial |
Hi all, good to see you- checking in as the week's been crazy and I can't get into my game let alone update (my awesome brother set up a raid array so even thought I lost a hard drive my pc is still up and running right now, just too slow!) Sparrows are fine and all, but I nearly lost everything, thank God for brothers! <3
Good to see Owly, I'll be reading along with updated from you all once I have a second to breathe! |
Glad to see you able to post again, Marcy!
I have new updates as well. Goldbeard RLC Chapter 139: In-Between Places Lawful Chaotic 1.2 Kyoto My Heart |
Yay for double updates!! So much reading to do <3
New chapter is up, this will be the last one before I do some serious game maintenance. I have already planned out a chunk of my weekend devoted to it, lol. ->>Chapter 3: A Strange Request I also have a question for those of you who blog plot-heavy chapters. Do you guys do most of the story stuff in a separate save? What's your method? Also, any tips anyone might have on organizing your saves would be much appreciated. ><'' |
Another update for the Silverlys due to a huge backlog of material (a whole 4 generations
![]() 1.13 Pretend to be Decent EDIT: @Big Mud Depends on what kind of scene I'm going for. All of my current story for the Winterlys in Bridgeport is in a separate save, so were pose-heavy chapters or anything that required me to make a set (like the police station). But just for plot related to relationships between characters (like fights, friendly interactions, romance) I keep it in my main save. As for organizing the saves, I just give them self-explanatory titles, like Bridgeport Pose Save. |
Chapter 2.4 - Birthdays and Ghosts, Oh My!
I am back with a new chapter, mainly because I am still lacking on the job front. BUT, I do have a job interview on the 12th, so that's good :D |
Is there any restriction on lotto tickets? Cuz I bought one on a whim during my first day and won 50k, lol. It seemed crazy cheaty so I put 90% of it in the bank and I'm playing it like she's getting a 10% allotment every seven days instead of a lump sum. I didn't see anything about it in the rules though...
|
@orose
General rule #4: It is intended that your sims ONLY make money with the activities outlined in their career roll. Under the spoiler are the exceptions and clarifications. Lotto ticket isn't on there. So no, your legacy sims may not purchase lotto tickets if you are strictly following the rules. |
Quote: Originally posted by NutsAndDolts
Thanks for clarifying! I wasn't sure if things that were excluded from mention were free choice or not. I think I'll just delete the money then- I'm only just starting the challenge. |
Welcome to the challenge! =)
There are just so many ways to make simoleons, if we listed them all under one big "no" column, the rules would be three times as long. =/ |
Just a little query that I've come across playing my legacy: If a Sim gets fired from the career that was rolled for them, are they allowed to start the career again from scratch? My Sim came dangerously close to getting fired from his Sports Agent career, and whilst I managed to fix it, I did think "Oh God, what do I do? D:"
|
@slashbanghorror
Yes, restarting the same career from scratch would allowed, lol. |
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i feel so nervous writing this aaaaaaa it feels like that email anxiety know what i mean?)
So, hey. Uhm, welcome I guess to everyone that's joined in the past... Year while I've been gone xD For those who don't know/ don't remember me, uh hey! I used to be fairly active on here until school started being stressful and heavier (and I started being more active on my tumblr too i'm sorry lmao), so I've now become one of the Inconsistent Bloggersâ„¢. How Ev Er. I'm determined to be at least kinda more active! (or at least post more than once in nine months, aside from relevant at the time memes xD) Because it's been so long since I have updated, and because (even though I loved it) Juniper's story was stressful. So very stressful. So, I've started fresh from Gen 4! A fresh start! Update: Chapter 4.01 A Fresh Start For those of you who do remember Juniper and her crazy adventures, and are wondering about a few things that may have been left a little... Jagged. Don't worry. I've got plans ![]() |
Welcome back, Carrie! :D
|
I have another update, Gen 4 has started, Chapter 1
|
|
New chapter: 5.18 Cursed
In this chapter, nothing really happens. Just Neda doing her usual complaining. |
Just posted an update: Chapter 9.11
|
|
Thanks for the welcomes back, it means a lot to me <3
So, I got kinda inspired... Update!: Chapter 4.02 Issues in which I'm back to my usual vague chapter titles, and yeah xD |
1.14 Important News
A Silverly update! The Winterlys will be on standby for now, I need to do a lot of photo shooting for the next chapter... |
Hello!
The final chapter of Generation Two is up: Chapter 2.6 - Why Do All Good Things Come To An End? |
|
So I stayed up a few nights ago and wrote this whole tragic backstory for a townie (Sofia Carlton, for those who know Twinbrook) and even took screenshots and edited them and everything, but reading it back now I'm like... why did I write this......... It's so angsty, I really feel like I don't know what I was thinking. Lol. But it did take me a really long time, so I'm undecided. I think I'll leave it out for now, but the chapter is all ready to publish so... it could easily happen. Depends how I feel about it later, I guess! ><
Anyway, new chapter: Chapter 4: A Very Presigious and Expensive Cat |
Update for one of my blogs: 1.4 Six Hours Straight
|
O_o Oh wow, welcome back, Carrie! It's great seeing you again! I'll admit, I thought you abandoned us (not that I'm allowed to talk >.>), so I'm really glad you're back!
|
Hey Carrie, welcome back! :D
|
|
I have a new update:
Chapter 5: Party The next chapter might be a little while in coming because I'm attempting to do some town maintenance, building and bulldozing and rearranging things to make more room, and it's going very slowly. I am absolutely awful at building >< |
Oof, I feel your pain. I'm super lazy when it comes to building. Most of the time, if you don't see a certain room, it's probably because it's not there/decorated xD
Anyway, I have an update: Update!: Chapter 4.03 Feelings in which there are... feelings xD |
joining the update train with Chapter 4.2
|
|
It's a bloody miracle, I'm up two for two, on some kinda roll or something
Update!: Chapter 4.04 Creep where nothing creepy actually happens, I've just been listening to that song relentlessly so... Yeah. Now it's a chapter title xD |
Adding my contribution to the reading queue:
Chapter 3.17 - Running Wild In which Mireille is Mireille and, well, she's running wild. XD |
