I Got The Sims 2 Baaaack! =)

[Cassie]

I don't know why I'm making a thread, but w/e.

Well, last weekend I restored The Sims 2 onto my computer after you know what happened (if you don't, basically I was enjoying a full-of-awesome legacy I'd been working on for several months, and I was on generation 7, longest ever for me, and then the game went and crashed itself so I could no longer play, to put a long story short-ish). I know it was kind of a stupid thing to do considering how close TS3 is lurking now, but what's life without a few stupid actions?
Sooo... I'm starting a new legacy, I'm challenging myself to see if I can get to generation 8 and beat my previous record before I lost the game. I have to do it before TS3, obviously. Gah, it's intense. {rolleyes} I keep estimating how long it takes per generation to grow, but it thoroughly depends on how many kids you have going on, and money etc etc, each generation is different, so it's hard to guess, but I'm going to try at least. =]

Obviously I deleted my downloads because I thought I was rid of TS2 for good, so I had to restart the game with so little CC, it's been...hard. Very hard. But, I'm adding bits and pieces each day and it's gradually getting easier.

Some random piccies;

Generation One

My founderess Ginny:




Ginny and her son Nathan (the nose he has, you can't see very clearly here, but it's pretty bad. You'll see a copy of it later. I can explain, it was a genetic experiment... I would normally never allow a Sim of mine possess a nose such as that):




Ginny's daughter turning down some groveling dude:




Generation Two

So I chose Nathan as the legacy continuer. He inherited my 'experiment' and I wanted to follow it through. This is him and his pregnant wife. I can't tell whether he's loving the baby or the Robot in this pic though.




They had just a daughter...




... and she SO inherited the experiment! I HAD to take a snappy of it! Obviously she's an adult in this picture but it had to be graced here.




Generation Three

As their daughter (Bailey) was their only child she had to be my legacy continuer. So here's her kids!

Aly & Harry Pott- I mean, her brother Dexter in the bg, and Bailey their mummy of course;




Cable (idk why I chose that..) & a girl friend (it's the only picture I have of him that contains his face);




Okay... so Bailey (it is Bailey, just a diff haircut) just recently had a baby in this picture, so her needs were a little... low. She was hungry. So I made her serve some omelettes for everyone. And.. she died. Of hunger. Seriously, who dies of hunger when food is like, there, right next to you, on the table?!
Needless to say, she got brought back to life.




Oh and this is little Aly and her grandpappy Nathan, who you may remember was my nasal experiment. Just thought it was cute.




And that's where I am up to right now! Generation three in one week! Oh and Aly and Cable are NATURAL twins! I was so thrilled, because I rarely get natural twins! =]

Sorry for this whole random post anyhoo. It just feels strangely nice, to play the game again after all these months. I'll try to post pictures that are more interesting in the future, as this was mostly just showing you the Sims in the legacy so far.

I have evil plans for generation numero cuatro x]

O;
You make the prettiest Sims CASSIE!
D
I have a similar hat to your simmys.
Nice :3

[Cassie]

Haha thankies. =] It's hard to make decent-looking Sims without all my beloved CC. I admit I had way too much CC before, but I have so little now, it's frustrating. I'm going to kill Sims 3 with CC. I'm worried about that. =\

But yeah, I'm having fun with the legacy! I miss my old one though... imagine if I'd managed to kept it going all these months. I'd be on, say, generation 30 now? I'd be near it at least! But oh well. These Sims are good too. I wish Bailey would stop dieing though. She's died of hunger three times now, and I am so not going to save her butt everytime just because she's too lazy to sit at a table and eat the food she just made. If she wants to die then fine, I'm not gonna stop her anymore.

This gives me ideas for an... accidental... and painfully terrible death... hmm.... I am so going to kill her off now! Mwahahaha!


Her nose is annoying anyway.

That is awesome! Your sims look really pretty too! It would be so awesome if you made it to generation 8 or beyond!

[XxSimsloverxX]

Grats and nice pictures i want some of your sims hair O...o


DOT DOT DOT..

and the child with the pink clothes with the cow boy boots lol

[Cassie]

I haven't had chance to play it since posting... I cant wait to get back to it though! I'm on a bit of a roll =P Will post pictures hopefully. It's more for my own amusement thany anyone else, but awesome if you do actually wanna see them. It's going to be a bit funny, when Sims 3 has been out for a while, and I look back on these pictures.
Oh well, I'm loving Sims 2 now. I want Sims 3 badly but it's going to be out before we know it, and chances are I'll never play Sims 2 again, not with Sims 3 out. Might play it a couple of times for the nostalgia but never properly again, not raising a legacy and all that shabang. So, I'm just making the most of what little time TS2 has left of being number 1 before TS3 takes its place. =]

Thanks for the comments btw! I figure most of you are talking about the thick long hair, which I looove. It's from a donation site but... cough... you can get it free at PSMBD if you want...it's from Rose Sims I think. =]

[Cassie]

I'm on generation four! Will post pictures eventually. Here's some random pictures from the past generation;

This is what you get when you forget about your Sim and leave them exercising for 24 hours straight.



This is the girl I chose [Ariana] to marry Dexter, who will carry on the legacy [had to choose him, he had the nose... otherwise I would have picked the better-looking son].



Ariana is not impressed with Dexter's joke. {rolleyes}



Seriously. Growing up in a pirate suit ruined the whole birthday for him. This kind of thing needs to be sorted out in TS3... seriously...



I don't get it...she doesn't find him funny... she's even giving him the evils at their wedding [btw, I forgot to choose their formal outfits, hence the funeral attire Ariana is sporting]... so why is she marrying him? Apparently they have strong chemistry...



Random. Ariana streaking at college.



You only hate on me 'cos I'm fly.



... not so fly.



This isn't part of my legacy, but remember the picture with Mortimer looking sad and the girl [who we now assume is Kaylynn Langerak]? Well I thought I'd just.. bring the two together, and see what happens... and surprisingly, Kaylynn totally had the hots for Morty, and Morty did not approve, just like in the TS3 picture with them as children.



PS: I just realised, this should probably go in the legacy section? I dunno, I mean it's about my legacy but it's not a story, just random pictures.

I'd be happy to move it for you, if you'd like.

I just have to say, I love, love, LOVE your Sims. You always make the prettiest Sims (especially for not having much CC!).

And that nose... ??? Kudos for being able to carry on with it! XD

[Cassie]

If it belongs over there, then sure. It's not a story though I will be frequently updating with pictures so I suppose it sort of is? Either way, just do what you feel is probably best.

And, thank you! I'm telling you, that nose is a STRONG genetic - most of the children born are inheriting it. But it's all good - I want to bring that nose through every generation, right until my final generation just before TS3. =] It's a horrible nose, though...  I wish I would have made it more attractive from the front, like a little wider.

And, thank you about my Sims! I used to make better Sims with more CC, but I'm trying to lay-off the CC now - what's the point, when TS3 is out in just 2 months? =]
