The Broke Legacy: Gen 3.7 (Part 2)

[simgaroop]

I could barely believe that I was finally in my last year at College.
It felt like if I had spent a life-time over here.
The more time passed, the sadder I felt.
I'd surely miss this place!




Oh well... if there was something I wouldn't miss, it was those freaking term papers!




Sterling and I still saw each other frequently.
We were good friends and he introduced me to all his acquaintances.
We often went out together to dinner or to the movies.
He introduced me to his girlfriend, a pretty girl named Mallory, during one of our outings.
I was glad he'd moved on.




Saturn got suddenly quieter.
He didn't go out as much as he did, nor he brought girls to the dorm with the same frequency as the previous days.




He spent most days working in the computer, and reading self-help and Psychology books.
"I guess it's time I stop fooling around and place my feet on the ground. I've got a huge responsibility coming on, after all."




He still tried to woo girls once in a while.
He said he was looking for someone serious who would take care of his "product".
But I'm afraid Old Mrs. Crumplebottom was not exactly what he was looking for!




Puck was torn between the prospect of living in Strangetown, or going back to Veronaville.
We had already talked about it many times.
I was ready to leave this town, to start a new life with him.




He was also glad to leave College, and the annoying extra-curricular classes, behind.
He wasn't exactly fond of his "Toy Designing" and "Intercultural Education" classes.




Despite how busy we were, we still found time to have fun and fool around.
Adulthood was just around the corner, these were the last months to be carefree!

_______________________




The dorm felt a little bit empty without Marcel and Arcadia (yeah, even I missed the bitch), who had finally graduated last term.
But we soon got company.
One of them was Saturn's sister, Halley Broke.




Halley had chosen the History Major, and wished to be a History Teacher.
She loved children and was her brothers and sisters best playmate.
Which was a blessing for poor Aunt Molly... who had finally "closed the factory" after her seventh kid.
Halley had a boyfriend since High School, and she spent hours and hours on the phone with him.




Our other room mate was Isabel Broke. Yup, another cousin. She's Uncle Icaro's daughter.
Isabel was a LOT like me. She also believed that life is too short and we should enjoy as much as possible.
She loved to have fun!
But unlike me, she didn't like videogames. She was more into parties and boys.
She loved going out with guys.




Puck knew a lot of people at Campus, so he often invited her to the many, many parties he attended.
I was more of the "stay at home" kind of girl. I loved staying in my couch in pajamas and beat the last Zelda game.
So, I was glad that Puck had someone to go to parties with.
They soon became good friends.




-"It's a good thing that we are still living in this dorm, Puck. I remember being so nervous when I was in my freshman year, so it was a huge help to have Andrew around. We must make sure they get used to College life as soon as possible."




And that's exactly what we did.
Puck and I spent several hours a day keeping them company.
We talked about home and we showed them everything around the Campus.




"You are so lucky, Cousin Wanda! I wish I had a boyfriend as nice as Puck!"




- "Oh, don't worry Isabel! There's plenty of awesome guys here at La Fiesta Tech and you are beautiful and smart. I'll introduce you to them!"




Time went by and we were soon in the middle of our last term!
We'd graduate in just 8 weeks!
I was so nervous with all the final papers, the thesis and the exams.
So, Puck proposed we went out and forget about school.
"You're gonna love this place, Wanda."




We had dinner at The Botanical Garden. A nice, green restaurant, filled with trees and flowers.





- "I discovered it when I was in my freshman year. I was a bit homesick and missed the gardens back at Veronaville. I'm gonna take you to my house soon, you'll love my mother's garden. I grew up watching her taking care of it. Anyway, I found this place and it made me feel like home..."




The place was beautiful, indeed.
We spent the next two hours joking and toasting for our future.
For the best videogame ever (which I'd design, of course) and for the best Law Firm in the province, with offices at Strangetown and Veronaville (Andrew and Puck's project).




We were so busy flirting and enjoying each other's company...




... that I didn't notice when someone stole my plate of ribs!




But we were too happy to care about it.
"Don't worry, Wanda, there's still dessert. And I know the perfect place for it!"




And so, we left the restaurant and went to our next stop.




- "This is... the place where we first met!"
- "Well, I guess this can be considered our place..."
- "Hmmm... I was sure you thought that was so cheesy..."




- "Well... yeah... but I guess we can indulge in some cheesiness now and then, right?"




Although Puck wanted to sit in the same table we were back then, it was already occupied.
I guess life can't be as predictable as we want it to be.
But we didn't mind, so we enjoyed The Hub's specialty, Baked Alaska in peace.




Even if I felt like someone was watching us...




Puck was a bit nervous.
I'm no fool, I already had an idea where this was going to... and that had me also nervous in turn!




Later, we slow danced for a long time.
Perhaps the terrifying screams from a karaoke singer weren't the background music, but we didn't mind.




And suddenly, Puck got on one knee.




Oh my Goodness! This is it!




"Will you marry me, Wanda?"



I guess you can imagine what I said, right?




It was the best night of my life.
I'd never forget it.
And the best part?
This was just the first of many wonderful nights we'd spend together.
I was going to get married!

______________________




I woke up when I felt someone moving at the other side of the bed.
"Wanda?"
But it wasn't my fiancée.
Nope... it was her again!




Oh... how I regretted that stupid mistake.
I wasn't careful and drank too much at that party.
I still don't know why I did it.
The kiss didn't even feel good.
I felt guilty for months after that.




Despite avoiding her for months, there she was again.
Entering to my room, in the middle of the night, in her underwear.




"Come on, Puck. Just this one time..."




I pushed her away.
"For the last time, Isabel. I'm not going to cheat on Wanda. I'm not interested in you that way!"




This was getting tiresome.
She wasn't just stalking me anymore... she was in the border of assault.
She took my hand and placed it on her chest.
Please..."




"Stop it! And get out of my room! I don't want you near me again!"
She just nodded and left.
Was this it? Had she finally understood that there wouldn't be anything between us?
I really hoped so... the last thing I wanted was to Wanda to find out.
I'd confess to her, really... but it's her cousin.
I didn't want to hurt her...

_________________________




Graduation time!
I graduated with a 4.0 GPA!
Take that, Andrew! I had fun AND got good grades!




Puck graduated with a 3.7 GPA... and lots of friends.




While Saturn graduated with a 3.9 GPA and an offer for a prestigious culinary school.
But he rejected it.
He said he'd be busy for at least the following 5 years.
What was wrong with him?




We had an awesome party! Everyone I knew was there!
I wished Grandpa were there too...




I finally met Halley's mysterious boyfriend at the party.
Man! He was hot!




While Dad and Puck chatted for hours.
Dad was especially interested in Puck's weird extra-curricular classes.
He said they'd be very useful to him in the future.
When I told him we were engaged (and planning a new life at Veronaville), Dad got a bit nervous.
I guess it's odd for a parent when their daughter leaves the nest.




The party ended just as we started our College years.
The four of us together, playing for one last time.





Perhaps Andrew and I never fulfilled our dream of having the best rock band ever...




... but it didn't matter, because we already had new dreams to accomplish in our future.








Good bye, La Fiesta Tech!
Thanks for everything!




________________________________________
Notes:

- College is oveeeeer! I swear the next generation I'm not sending the kids to college... or I'll use the college adjuster. It's way too long and I eventually got bored.

- The whole drama between Isabel and Puck is all ACR's fault! I was just playing on fast speed because the Sims were asleep, when suddenly, I hear the "I got my first kiss" sound and paused. I looked at Isabel, and there she was, with the first kiss icon over her head. And when I checked her memories... yup, it was Puck. Silly Sims, they woke up in the middle of the night and kissed. And because they already had a good relationship, the fell in love with each other.

At this point I was, "Gee Puck... if you mess things up with Wanda, there's still Sterling (who never got jealous of their relationship) and you are out of the game." I left the sims alone, and a few nights after they got engaged, Isabel woke up, got naked and "relaxed" on Puck's bed. He also got "ready" for the woo hoo and then... he rejected her. For several Sim hours, Isabel tried to woo hoo with Puck and he still rejected her. All those pictures of her trying to woo him are on free will. I felt a bit sad for Isabel, because Puck rejected every single move she made. Perhaps he was just being faithful to Wanda?

- Autumn haaaates Cosmo. As soon as she moved into the house, she started poking, insulting, slapping and irritating poor Cosmo, who's a huge 10-nice-points wuss that NEVER fought back. She got well with everyone else, though. I got so sick of Emo Cosmo that I moved Andrew out. I was on the verge of boolproping a nice death for this bitch, but she was pregnant, so she was saved. I love the comments about a satellite falling over her... perhaps I'll have her watch the clouds for a while.

- The engagement date was full of WTF. Yup, that girl stole Wanda's dinner. And then, while my sims were starving and I had them eat baked Alaska, that Grunt dude went and stole Puck's dinner. What?! And he kept stalking them too! Which gives me an idea, though...

- Cookies for anyone who caught the Shakespeare hints. The first two "poems" are the ones from the game, of course.

- And in case you think the scene where Puck confesses his love to Wanda had those bubbles in the background to create a romantic mood... nope, that was a glitch:



- Finally, a tip for anyone who's making an uglacy. I know I've said that all Maxis Sims are cute in their own way (I like Nervous, for example) but... Romeo Monty, he's scary as a young adult.

Thanks for reading! Gen 4 is coming up next! ^_^

Perhaps he was just being faithful to Wanda?
I think one of the ACR jealousy settings (and it might work for being faithful as well?) changes when a sim is enagaged, and then again when they're married. It might be that setting that was rejecting Isabel (that hussy!) because of his engagement? :/

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Ummm... the only setting I changed on the ACR was to make it "dynamic" (and I think that means that the tokens change now and then, but it's been a long since I read the RTFM) so I guess that explains Puck's change towards Isabel.

Not that I'm complaining, of course! :P

[senzastelle.livejournal.com]

Wanda's hair looks fabulous! I love the pink streaks.

They're engaged! YAY!

EW, GET AWAY FROM PUCK, ISABEL. EW! Oh, Puck, what did you do? =(

Whenever I send a generation to college, their generation updates seem to go on forever. Sending them there is fun, but I'm not going to send every generation of my new legacy to college. Maybe I'll send the ones I really like! LOL

Puck rejected Isabel's advances? Good! I can't believe a sim did something smart on their own for once.

Ooh, a satelite falling on Autumn? That would be beautiful. She deserves to die. What a hateful bitch.

General Grunt does hate aliens... ;)

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

The hair is pretty awesome. It's a conversion of a Raon male hair too and it suits her pretty well (I was missing her crazy hair colors). I guess I'm gonna let her keep it for a while. I'm gonna look for the link to the site I downloaded it from.

I guess I'm gonna follow your example and only send the heir to college. And only if it's a knowledge or popularity sim! (those are the aspirations that whine the most if they don't go to college, right?).

I don't know if Puck is smart or not... but I had a good LOL watching him reject Isabel. Dude, I was expecting his relatioship with Wanda to bomb at this rate!

General Grunt does hate aliens... ;)
LOL, I know! :D

[senzastelle.livejournal.com]

Is this (http://gardenofshadows.digitalperversion.net/index.php?topic=6.0) where you got the hair? I want to be sure before I download it.

Romance sims have a great time at college too. So many YA's to woohoo!

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the hair! Thanks for the link!

(I had lost it and was going to look for a black Sims 2 forum :P).

Be sure to download "File Atomique" (it's the file that includes the black and pink hair).

Oh yeah! Romance sims love college too. Because there are tons of professors to woo (and get good grades from) too! :D

[senzastelle.livejournal.com]

Great! I'm going to download it in a minute and check it out in game. It looks so cool. I normally don't have streaked hairs in my game, but this one is really nice!

The most fun I ever had at playing college was while Camden was there. He was such a slut. There were so many more sims he did that I didn't take photos of. It was awesome! LMAO

[miaomiaochan.livejournal.com]

LOL there are so many Sims in my game who are in the same predicament as Isabel. They come up to try to flirt with one of my Sims whom I had already set up, and I always cancel the interaction. Once, though, a college professor sneakily flirted with the mother of her lover, and I hadn't noticed until the girl invited her mother over that I realized the professor had fallen in love with her mother D:! It was messed up.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, what a mess indeed!

Was she a Drama professor?

I've read those are quite uh... dramatic :P. And even worse than romance sims! (they fall in love with everything that moves!) Umm... now I realize I never invited Puck's teachers over. That'd been hilarious!

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

I haven't read the whole thing yet, but Oh my Gosh!! All I keep thinking about is that Puck and Isabel are going to hook up beccause they hang out so much.

*runs back to read*

I love Wanda's hair. It's a return to her wild roots.

Aww!!! Wanda and Puck are engaged! And I SO KNEW IT!!! Damn that Isabel is a slut! How could she do that to her cousin, I'm really, really happy that Puck denied her.

I don't think I could use ACR because they do what they want. For the most part I let my sims do what they want unless they're going to cheat with someone I don't want them too, like Puck and Isabel.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a bit hard to fight against ACR. Just before Puck and Wanda got engaged, I kept cancelling the "casual woo hoo" interaction with Isabel (and it happened over and over and OVER!). But then, I was just "All right Puck, you win. Do what you want, you idiot!" and then he rejected her. It was awesome!

Let me look for the link for Wanda's hair. It had awesome recolors too!

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

OMG! No Puck! WTH?! Isabel is a homewrecker! And oooooh if Cosmo tries to give Puck to the aliens of forget it! I will seriously put the hurt on him, seriously. But I love your legacy obviously, I'm planning on starting my own legacy using either Daisy or Colleen as the founder (if you don't mind that is) in Veronaville. I tried the whole big neighborhood one but it kept crashing my game so I took it out and just left the three neighborhoods in. Oh and ACR love it to death but it totally messes with your relationships. Haha. But I love the drama anyway. Can't wait for the next part. Have fun!

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

And oooooh if Cosmo tries to give Puck to the aliens of forget it! I will seriously put the hurt on him, seriously

Errrr... ;D

And sure! Feel free to play with either Daisy or Colleen as you wish! (that's why I uploaded them). I'd be glad to read your legacy too!

Man, what a pity the whole big neighborhood didn't work in your computer. I'd love to try it once I finish the legacy (and start with a clean game)... but I don't know if my computer will handle it.

Thanks :)

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

Errrr... ;D

What did you do? You'd better bring him back! I was totally feeling all the Wanda and Puck love when they first met you can't do that to them! They are meant to be. Lol.

Yay! I can't wait to start the legacy.

Yeah, I was kinda mad that it didn't work but my computer's a couple of years old and she's all caught up with the graphics but she's old. So, whatever.

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

Oh also...
(http://photobucket.com)
This is Daisy as my legacy founder Bianca Sark. And she's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing her!

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

I love your icon!

YAY, Heroes!

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I'm a fanatic of the show completely!

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

I've become a fan recently and I LOVE the show. And Peter? Yum! I like him better with the season two haircut.

[sheerfreesia007.livejournal.com]

So do I! It looks so much better now.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm glad Puck was faithful to Wanda. That makes me happy, because, well, because I'm an old fashioned romantic, I guess.

I was worried we wouldn't see Andrew this update. Is he going to go to the Graslaxian ship? Or will we know?

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

I'm also a hopeless, old fashioned romantic. I have to control myself when I try to write something romantic, otherwise, the cheese would flow out of my computer! :)

There's still plenty of Andrew in this legacy. You'll know what happens to him, even if he's not at the legacy house anymore :)

[skyeslegacy.livejournal.com]

I love you, man. This ( the legacy as a whole ) is my favourite thing to read, especially right before work.

Wanda's hair is fantastic, where did you find it?

And just out of curiosity, is every generation going to marry a Maxis PC? ( If so you should so use Stella Terrano from the LFTech bin, she's the prettiest game-made alien I've ever seen. )

[lovelysims.livejournal.com]

You are just making my week so much better!

[kingmike1224.livejournal.com]

YAY for updates *hugs you endlessly*

i like the fact that you brought Halley and isabel (i dont really remember their names) to uni...and personally i use uni for a bit, then get tired so i use the insim and speed through it...it works wonders for me :)

Ewww Evil Isabel is trying to get Puck to cheat on Wanda...beat her senseless, or shove her under the same satellite that will befall autumn (they dont even deserve their own satellites).

I <3 the Puck-Man!!!

[oke-cokey.livejournal.com]

Yay! Go Puck! Go monogamy!

Also, the hair Wanda has is the exact same cut as my hair! Thank goodness senzastelle posted the link, I've been searching for a cut close to mine for ages. I would have been nagging you about it! xD

[sims-galore.livejournal.com]

yay! wanda and puck are together finally...

it's sad how i get excited about these things

[amethyststeam.livejournal.com]

Wanda's new hair is so pretty~

AND OH THE DRAMA. :O XD It makes for an interesting, entertaining, and generally great story to read. XD Plus, the way you tell it makes it so good. ^_^

And the notes killed me after I read them. XD COLLEGE FTW/FTL depending. XD (Though I definitely do agree with you; I do not see myself sending every gen's kids to college...unless they're knowledge or something and whine if they don't go. =P)

[spiderweb5532.livejournal.com]

Yuck, Isabel. Nice family loyalty!

Wanda and Puck are just beyond cute. And did Autumn not know what family she was marrying into? Ugh!

I *heart* this story so much!
