My fav fav in this whole legacy was … Joseph
I loved that even though his personality gave him weaknesses, he overcame adversity… and of course who could forget that fight!
Second favorite is SatteliteJuno, I just loved her neurosis.
In gen9 it is so hard to choose a fav.
I loved Seth for his government conspiracies.
I loved Joanna as even when people felt she would fail, she blossomed in the end.
I loved Nicole as she was just.. hehe.. so evily delicious!
I loved Jono cos he was just gorgeous.
As for Alfie, hehe, who could forget his freakout when Nicole was glowing like ready brek!
Gemma was really endearing even though she was a bit ‘odd’, and she did surprise me with some of the things she did, even though I knew she had a certian life time want to fulfill.
I have a question Rad… How much did Daisy earn as a Profiler??
I have a Profiler who as he went up the ladder received raises of $300 an hour or more. Currently he earns over $1000 an hour and his last bonus when achieving Profiler was over $10 000.
I have never played a character in this job before and was wondering if it is unusual?
I don’t know what she earned but I imagine if they stay in a job long enough they could get that, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of pay rises.
I’m in generation 3. So Far I love the Sims 3. Better than Sims 2. I like your family. Its nice and I like the way you set out their traits them accomplished. Loved it it.
The Sms 3 is great. Glad you like my family.
What ever happened to the mixed gender twins? (Gen 10) Did you ever play again, or no?? I have to say…Karis was my favourite…or was it Gemma…or Carmel? Gaah, there are so many. I could never, ever pick!!
I didn’t play them again, so they’re still babies (err, assuming I still have the save file, anyway!)
Awww, I loved all of them but I do have a soft spot for Carmel and Karis.
Hey Rad. I’ve just started reading your legacy today and I’ve got eight more generations and a few to read lol.
It may seem weird to ask this especially on your site, but do you think you could check out my legacy too
http://nightrainpagan.webs.com/
It’s in the links The Nightshade Legacy.
I’d really love you to read it.
And also how many images do you use in each episode.
Thanks so much
Nightrainpagan
Hi Nightrainpagan, good to see you here. Have added you to my blogroll over on my main site and will check it out next week sometime.
I don’t really have a set number of images, just however many I took in the previous play session. 20 or so per chapter, maybe? I’ve never counted.
Can I just say your legacy is GREAT GREAT GREAT and I think you should do another one LIKE the Kyoti’s!
It’ll be a good one!
Thanks so much!
I’m not doing another one just like the Kyotis, I have no interest in repeating myself, but I have been doing a different kind of legacy, Dayes of Our Lives, for over a year now and I do a bunch of other stories/challenges, including a speed legacy. Catch them all at http://radsims.wordpress.com
I remember Lianndra having the schmoozer trait back when you wrote this on the sims 3 website, did you change her?
I have no idea. I don’t remember her ever having schmoozer but I could be wrong.
Evil Nicola is by far my favorite. Hot, and a bad girl to boot. She is my new fatal attraction. I would totally have agreed to be her Simboyfriend even though I know she would dump me to achieve her LTW, just so I could say I was one of the Chosen Ones.
Oooh. I think you can download her from my main blog. I do love Nicola.
http://nicandnathrock.wordpress.com/,
please check this out XD
Hey Rad,
I know this particular blog is pretty inactive now, but I wanted to let you know that I’ll be “borrowing” your Meet the Family layout for my own legacy! I’ve been struggling to set up my blog and yours has inspired me, so thank you very much!
If you do want to check out my legacy this is the address: http://llewellynlegacy.wordpress.com/
It’s still in it’s baby stages.
Good luck – it’s a lot of fun playing a legacy, so I hope you enjoy it.
