A new legacy is underway! You can read an introduction to the Bloodworth legacy
here. Can I really call it an introduction when I gave absolutely no information about my sim? I'm telling you, The Maker doesn't have it together these days!
Let me give another quick introduction. Meet Laurel Bloodworth. Since I have a new expansion pack, I decided to give her a creativity aspiration. she is a Master Actress and has the following traits: Cheerful, Music lover and Dance Machine.
Since I'm doing the extreme start with her, she has no money and an empty lot. Did I mention that it is winter? It's important that my sim earns money right away and hopefully, she finds a spouse so someone else can contribute to household funds.
Because things are so dire, I decided to send Laurel down to the club so she could use the bathroom, the mirrors to work on charisma and also look for a hunk of man candy. The club had Marcus Flex working as a bouncer and I thought that I would be able to flirt my way inside. Unfortunately, I misread the pie menu. It actually said FIGHT instead of FLIRT. OI vey.
Poor Laurel got her butt kicked. I decided to leave this lot and go to a different lounge. Luckily, they had free chips, a bathroom, AND a couple of cute guys. Which she's busy chatting up.
This guy seems really interested in Laurel. He's not too bad to look at either. Despite some weird name that I can't pronounce. If she marries him, his name is definitely going to be changed. I think EA decided to choose some random letters to throw them together.
However, there's not much time for socializing. I had wasted no time with setting Laurel up with a job and she has an audition scheduled Monday at 7 p.m. After exchanging numbers with Mr. Weird Name, I took a few minutes for her to work on her acting and charisma skills in the mirror. She also grabbed a nap on the couch. Remember? No bed on her home lot.
She was rested enough to go to her first audition and got the part! I was beyond relieved because this girl has no money beyond what she earned by selling time capsules that she dug up. She needs to eat and she needs to pay her bills!
Unfortunately, the pay absolutely stinks. 400.00 is great for one day of work but she has to audition for a new part and then wait for another day of filming before she gets paid again.
This just isn't going to do. She needs a bed to sleep in and still has to purchase four more Knights of the Octagon Table to pay off her loan.
At this rate, it's not going to happen. So, with her best interests at heart, I sent her to the spice festival with the first cute guy who chatted her up, Mr. Weird Name. They hit it off, fell in love, and she proposed right then and there!
Mr. Nameless' new name is Victor LeBlanc. He wants to become a bestselling author. Which is fine with me. Authors tend to make quite a bit of money. They quickly eloped and are now living out of Orchid a Go-Go lounge. Sleeping on the couches, eating olives for breakfast and showering at the local gym.
Between his and her first paycheck, they managed to pay the mortgage on their empty lot. Thank goodness! To celebrate, I bought them a tent...I couldn't find anything in the rules that said this was a no-no.
Let's just hope that I don't get any "oops" babies due to my risky woohoo mod. Yes, I know that's cheating but I like a challenge and actually find that it compliments the Legacy Challenge greatly. Because, otherwise, I might get my heir and never let my sims "Try for Baby" again!
Laurel is busy at work with her career and I managed to snag a couple promotions. This part of play would be fairly boring for you all to live through but I do want to share Laurel's role that won her a promotion.
and how she celebrated her promotion...
in her first cute little house! Yes, folks, they have a house and I honestly don't care that the rules say that I can't demolish this place and start over...I am not great with building and I really don't see why it's against the rule to buy a new house. I'm straight up warning you all that you will see this house be replaced at some point! For now, I am just happy that we're out of the tent!
The future is looking bright for Laurel. Let's just hope she can keep getting promotions and paying for the bills because...I suspect gen 2 might be in the works. Stay tuned to find out if our promotion celebration resulted in a baby. Cause, the maker "accidentally" chose, "try for baby!"
