Well, Nancy was chosen over Martha to be the heir. I thought for sure people would pick Martha because of the blond hair. But it doesn’t matter. They are both the most un-interesting Sims. I didn’t have a preference when I set up the vote and still don’t. According to Martha’s moodlet, she’s unhappy with Nancy. I would have written a little rivalry between the two, but this is the only negative interaction they had.
I really hope that Nancy gets more lively as she ages. She’s flirty but has yet to really find any boy to use her talents on. Same with Martha. If they don’t get more interesting, I might have to give up the legacy as too repetitive to keep playing for 10 generations. Seriously.
Martha rolled the desire to skip school, so I chained her to the easel in order to get her painting skills high enough for portraits. Now that Erik is dead, she’s the only one besides Elisabeth who even knows how to paint. I’ll need a portrait of Nancy soon.
Yawn. Nancy is a studious Sim who made the honor roll while her sister was skipping. She and Hillary came right home and did their homework.
I’m thinking maybe Eleanor would have been more exciting. At least she gets to go hunt ghosts and solve paranormal problems.
She solved one at Victoria Succubus’ house and spent some time talking to Dominic who was holding the only male child born of a Succubus spare…little Dirk. None of Victoria’s children had red skin.
Meanwhile Elisabeth finally had her elder birthday (damn that life-fruit pancake!). Her 10th boyfriend, Deric Brothers the tattoo artist, came over to celebrate.
Of course Elisabeth had to do something about her look after she aged. She hasn’t made her LTW of being leader of the free world. Voters don’t vote for people who look too old. Deric didn’t seem to mind her looks, but suspiciously the next day he quit his job at the tattoo shop (I was informed that he got a job in the military) and then the day after that he was no longer a resident in town. Odd.
Since I want to marry Eleanor to her lovely Chadwick Mather, I have her chained to the chess table and the telescope when she’s not working, eating, sleeping or pooping. Since our telescope is outside, I sort of expect a meteor strike to happen one of these days. I’ve been disappointed, though. Nothing unusual has happened at all.
Oh, Elisabeth finally got the limo back as Vice President. It was about time. Vice Presidents shouldn’t ride around in measly sedans, even if they are luxury sedans.
To spice things up in the legacy, Elisabeth got the opportunity to resurrect a ghost. I sent her to the Science Facility with Erik’s urn. She came home with her little slave (son) in his ghostly form. Too bad there are no toddlers for him to take care of.
That same day it was Hillary’s birthday. True to form, everyone forgot about it. Hillary spent it at the community pool where she relaxed and tried to think of what to do with herself as an adult.
Before she could age up, though, an old man died and the Grim Reaper had to come take his soul. The pregnant Sim is Betty Simovitch, for those of you who have her in your games. Betty got knocked up by the chinless Osvaldo…the guy that I had picked out special for Hillary! When I found out about it, I was pissed. Osvaldo had only been a young-adult for like one day! Betty is an old maid. What a cougar!
Eventually Hillary did age up. And the transformation wasn’t pretty…
But back at home everyone was borderline shocked and disgusted that Elisabeth had reanimated her dead son. As a ghost hunter, I wasn’t surprised to see Eleanor react this way as he floated by her.
Martha was pretty happy to see him once she got over her initial shock. She hugged him and then they caught up with each other’s lives (deaths).
As for Elisabeth, Erik apologized for dying and thanked his mother for letting him live again. WTH? I have no idea what he had to be sorry for!
Hillary is not reacting in horror at the specter of her brother. She’s yawning because her solo birthday party was so tiring. She’s dressed like a sort of spinster librarian. She gained the yawn-inducing trait of flirty (yeah, it’s yawn-inducing because who is going to want to flirt with her?) because I could pick her trait and it is the family trait that all female Succubi must have.
Eventually Eleanor gets over her problems with living with a ghost and she and Erik are back on familiar ground. They play chess together.
After the reanimation of her son, Elisabeth is given the task of writing her political memoirs. She has level 2 writing skill, but when this tome is finally finished she was level 7! Yes, it took that long.
Things were looking more Succubi-ish when Nancy decided to go over to Rod Hagar’s house after school one day. However, Rod had to go to work almost immediately.
Good ol’ Nancy wrangled his older brother, Lance, to help her with her homework. Lance isn’t too bad to look at, no? If Rod turns out anything like Lance, he has promising boyfriend potential.
Speaking of boyfriends, we can’t let Chadwick get off of Eleanor’s hook. He needs reminding that he’s her intended as soon as she earns a point, damn it!
And guess what Erik is painting…Eleanor is curious. It’s a picture of Hell, of course. He’s the only one of this generation who’s actually been there! I couldn’t believe it when he started painting this. How appropriate!
As an adult, I wasn’t too fond of Hillary’s looks. I thought she was sort of ok as a teenager, but as an adult she is a bit too much like Harold. Her nose is miniscule and her chin is just a dot on her face. Her jaw is humongous. I’ve decided to see if she improves when she is thinner. Personally, I don’t mind her being husky, but maybe her face will not be so odd without the weight.
She’s also upgrading and re-upgrading all of the objects in the house that can be tinkered with. Hillary is working toward handiness for her skill point. She decided to go into medicine since Elisabeth rolled a desire to see her in the Medical career. Elisabeth’s wishes are more important that Hillary’s (and Hillary has always sought her approval). Medicine takes logic, but it’s too late to change the point that Hillary is trying to achieve.
BTW, Elisabeth finally became leader of the free world! She threw a fundraising party to celebrate. She and Margaret struck up a conversation about her achievement. Margaret was almost happy for her until Elisabeth mocked Margaret’s own inability to achieve greatness in the criminal organization. Margaret is no more than a 5th ranked thief. She likely won’t become Empress of Evil.
Good job Nancy. She’s talking to Woodrow Ivanov, the cousin of Dmitri Ivanov…or maybe half-brother. Yuri Ivanov got around, but this might be the son of Yuri’s ex-wife, Tatiana Ivanov…I can’t remember. Anyway, they’re flirting, which is what Nancy should be doing.
Nancy isn’t the only one flirting. Osvaldo is met by her at the front door. Betty Simovitch, his pregnant girlfriend, is out back. Hillary, in true Succubus fashion, flirts with him shamelessly. Unfortunately, while he didn’t reject said flirting, he didn’t reciprocate or seem to really appreciate it. By the time he left, they were no more than friends. Hillary will need to work harder if she’s to break him up with the hag, Betty. (BTW, Betty had a boy after the party was over.)
Guess who else was at the party. Jason Succubus and Erik reacquainted themselves. Jason is very good looking. Too bad he’s a loony loser. His dad, Don Lothario, died…I got the message earlier and felt a pang of sadness.
Looky here. When you are an Evil Dictator and Leader of the Free World, you get a white stretch limo. Elisabeth is so pleased with herself. However, her outfit is just awful!
But after a little makeover, she’s back to her lovely lime-green self. As she passes her portrait, she is thinking that she hasn’t really lost the look. As for me, I was thinking that at least I got a point out of this…the most boring update ever!
Eric got to level 9 in painting. He finished the Hell picture.
And then he painted this one. I’m sensing a theme. Fires of Hell must have made an impression on him.
Oh, and Nancy brought home a boy from school. He’s name is Eduardo. Unfortunately, he didn’t respond well to flirting because he has a girlfriend. It didn’t keep Nancy from trying, though. She was quite angry with her and was only mollified when they sat down to play chess. Actually, he was the next ranked chess player, so she challenged him to a match and then beat him. She rolled the wish to be a Grand Master Chess Champion. I decided to grant it. For Nancy, she will only get boyfriends who are her chess opponents. Poor Eduardo. He doesn’t know that his girlfriend is toast. Nancy has her mission now.
And thus I conclude this chapter.
Points: 1 Elisabeth gets her LTW.
Chess table romances? There’s a new take on Succubi!
I had to do something to make this a challenge. I was getting bored. I only played one night and it was a struggle to keep it up long enough to get enough shots for an update.
I was Jonesing for Succubi madness and it just didn’t happen. I went straight back to the Kendricks as soon as I could.
Shame, I hope you find a way to keep the game interesting for yourself.
I loved the flame and Hell pictures very fitting for Eric. I like Eleanor !
