Welcome to my Sims 4 LEPacy, where every generation I will add a pack (of any kind) to my game after the Founding with the Base Game. I will not be going in order of release and each generation might not highlight an expansion pack. I hope to enjoy layers of the game I might not have noticed otherwise. Goals are to play every trait at least once, along with aspirations/careers.
Anyone can have the new traits or play the aspiration to check it off as long as they live in the house while finishing aspiration (had some unexpected fun playing the game that led me to modify the rules out of the tradition (which I found out are on the official rules).
To the right of this photo is our founder Bella Bloom.
A "Big Happy Family Sim" with the traits Cheerful, Erratic, and Family Oriented.
A young woman who wants to start a family right away even though she is living on a large lot with no essentials.
I went with the old rules of buying the set of armor that will stay in the family inventory to give us a real "riches to rags" feel (not starting at 0... though I wish I did when I figured out the cheat).
As you see above Bella had found a perfect romantic match within a few hours. (As her first wishes were to find a romantic partner, and have a child).
His name was Antonio Harlow, and he was ALSO a Family Oriented Sim...
(And to me a very handsome man to start off the legacy right away).
Right away their friendship blossomed being able to move in right away.
However, when I clicked on move in I found Antonio had a daughter. Going by the old rules I sighed and decided it must not be.
(Later I would find out that the new rules state "One can move in anyone as long as you money cheat the money away". After this heartbreaking breakup, I decided I would follow that rule forward.
(To give you an idea I debated on restarting the game to try to backtrack... but a last I decided to stick with the drama).
Even though Bella had no home to call her own outside of a vacant lot, she herself had to have a few drinks to help the pain of heartbreak.
Bella's heavy heart put a damper on things, as she saw the long brown hair at the corner of her eye.
But Bella was able to achieve a kiss and a cuddle with help from the man who seemed to be interested in her now. A young man named Sean Linder who left her first date fully hit with a Gold reward!
After regrouping with a good sleep after many drinks, Bella socialized in the park.
If it was easy to find true love the first time, the 2nd time should be easy right?
Bella even was excited enough to have the two actually go on a date to help them become serious!
However, it felt like things became uncomfortable as complete strangers joined the two in the Museum Gardens.
Bella didn't leave the museum quickly though as she decided to be intrigued by a piece of art someone else was eyeing...
The pleasant conversation had Bella's erratic heart swoon despite the pain. Would Antonio still be interested in getting back together right away?
When Antonio brought up the breakup, Bella had to cut him short. As he needed to be able to go with the flow like her.
Antonio was angered by the conversation, making it clear he didn't want anything to do with her as she had broken their hearts as quickly as they had fallen.
Feeling the sting, Bella returned home... and gave some a call.
Sean was so interested in Bella he arrived quickly. However, Bella noticed that Sean wasn't so keen on moving in with her right away. Or talking about kids gave a look of awkwardness.
Bella was ready for her family now! Why wasn't Sean ready?
Despite the new love interest, something didn't feel right in Bella. Being left alone at home with a desire to start her large family didn't agree with her.
With a little self talk in front of the mirror, she found herself overly Flirty. Ready to Flirt with any man that had any interest in her.
By the end of the night she did feel more of a burn than a help from her endeavors.
The burnout did give Bella the need to do something outside of finding a romantic partner.
She joined the Stylist career, finding the job to be amusing enough to keep her busy for a while.
Things seemed to fall into place with the new job. The job brought joy to her life, while also helping her have more cash to enjoy the town's fun.
She found herself catching the eyes of a handsome Bartender at the local lounge. He made it clear they shouldn't speak while he was working, and Bella left without speaking to him. Bella figured he wasn't that into her.
Until she saw him passing by the Library next morning.
This wasn't true love, but Bella had enough money for her new job. She was able to start her dream of a new family, even with a man she barely knew.
