His Biggest Fan

“Oh my, are those grapes for me? How thoughtful!”

I just realized these statues are Sims 1 sims. Awesome! And hey, now I don’t have to think of a proper intro!

Last time, Ditto Personality was born, but only just barely introduced. Her traits are mean-spirited and couch potato, which sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me. Oh, we’ll be having fun with this little one.

Her favourite food is Stu Surprise. I tend to remember their favorite foods since that’s all they eat, but colour and music doesn’t have much game-play significance in my play-style. So from now on I may just tell you that. We’ll see.

On an unrelated note, that is my favourite picture of Quincy.

As usual, Serge comes to care for the baby like a homing missile.

He’s also taken over care of the omni plants, now that both Cheez Whiz and Ebenezer are gone. He and Sheogorath work together on the garden every day, which means it gets done faster and both of them are well on their way to completing the gardening challenges.

The omni-plants, in case you’re wondering, bring in about 20k every time they bloom, which is frequently.

Oh look, it’s somebodies birthday!

Harley Quinn’s birthday, of course!

I tried to make a more interesting cake-shot. The result was derp faces. Remind me why I still take birthday pictures?

Her new trait is Angler.

Mortimer: “Ah, so this is my ‘daughter,’ is it? How convenient that she looks nothing like me.”

Look at that raised eyebrow, what a dick. Oh, and it gets better. Harley Quinn’s only interaction with her birth-father here?

Try to Impress Celebrity.

Try. To IMPRESS. Celebrity.

Guys, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

Mortimer: “Yes, I’m far too important to talk to you. Mortimer Goth and all.”

Harley Quinn:

Gatekeeper: “Oh, HELL no.”

Mortimer: “Gatekeeper, thank goodness you’re here! You’ve got to help me, my house is haunted!”

Gatekeeper: “You don’t say.”

Gatekeeper: “Let me just take care of that for you.”

Mortimer: “NOOOOOOOO! I’M MEEEEELTIIIIIIING!”

Glad that’s taken care of.

There are four generations of Personality women in this picture. If Culta had been haunting it would have been a real party.

Sheogorath: “Cake shot still isn’t interesting.”

Ditto: “Hm? What is this?”

Harley Quinn: “PEEK-A-BOO!”

Ditto: “Ohmygawsh, I didn’t see that one coming!”

This interaction was directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

So I just realized I have no good pictures of toddler Ditto, because I am a horrible simmer and a failure. This one at least has a clear view of her face, if you click on it for a better look.

So far she looks everything like Quincy, as much as one can see a ghost’s face. Interesting.

We also learn that Harley Quinn, like her mother, has the hidden French Culture trait, since she knows French songs without having to be taught them.  Double interesting!

Sheogorath: “Hmmmm.”

Sheogorath: “Oooooooh.”

Sheogorath: “*blink* *blink*”

Serge: “*GASP* Oh no! Maid! ‘ow could you not alert me my wife was dying?!”

Maid: “Bro, this house is covered in ghosts, and you expect me to keep track?!”

Gatekeeper: “NOOO NOW SHE’LL NEVER LEARN TO LOVE MEEEEE.”

Grim: “Cheesus, lady, indoor voice!”

Sheogorath: “Why is everyone standing around crying?”

Grim: “All right Grim, like we’ve been practising…”

Grim: “They cry because YOU. SHEOGORATH. YOUR TIME HAS COME.”

Sheogorath: “Is that all? Never fear, good people, the Grim Reaper is one easily bought mother–”

Grim: “Shut yo mouth!”

Sheogorath: “I’m just giving you a Deathflower!”

Grim: “Then I can dig it!”

Sheogorath: “TA-DA!”

You’ve cost me a point with that little trick, Sheogorath. I am not amused.

STOP THAT. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

On that note, I decided to throw out our Deathplant.

I know, I’m going to regret it later when it comes to gardening challenges. But it’s getting too hard to keep track of who has its produce, and I can’t risk losing any more points this way. Not to mention having my house clogged with ancient elders. So it goes.

Thanks a lot, lady. If you’d just moved over a few feet you could have at least watered our plants.

This is a paparazzi, by the way. Hope it was worth getting the latest scoop on the Personality family (“THEY GARDEN; News at Eleven!”)

Serge completed all the gardening challenges very quickly (I think it was his green thumb trait that did it), meaning POINT. 

Also, way back when he finished his LTW I forgot that he also had over 100k LTH, because as we have already established, I suck. So there’s a late POINT from Serge.

It amuses me that wherever Quincy goes, coward sims drop like flies. There are a lot of cowards in Sunset Valley.

My, we are jumping around a lot this chapter.

Then Sheogorath and Gatekeeper both got ‘save-the-world’ type opportunities at the same time. The Organization had gotten hold of some science and were using it for evil (which Sheo had to stop), and ghosts had taken over City Hall and were declaring themselves the new world leaders (which Gatekeeper had to to stop). There was even a big black cloud over town when this happened.

Awesome!

(They both saved the day, obviously)

SO. Gatekeeper reached the top of the Ghost-Hunting career (POINT), which also happened to be her LTW (POINT) and consequently gave her over 100k LTH (POINT).

Gatekeeper: “Yeah, I’m pretty much amazing at this whole legacy thing.”

She really is!

And now she’s going to keep the Ghost-Hunting job for the stipend every week (free money? Yes please), but will only actually ghost-hunt if I feel like it. She has more productive things to do.

Like learning tons of recipes, and getting us one step closer to finishing the cooking challenges.

LEGACY TIP: Cooking and Painting challenges are easy. Aaroc’s rules make it so you can do challenges any number of times as long as it’s by different sims, so they are great ones to fall back on if your sim is lacking something to do. Given the choice between them, painting is easier, as it needs less micro-management.

But having a good cook in the family ensures everyone eats their favourite food, which gives them a moodlet. When their mood bar is full, sims skill faster, so get all the easy moodlets you can!

/advice from a crappy simmer.

Gatekeeper: “WOO, FRIDGE! YEAH! YOU ROCK THOSE STINK CLOUDS!”

Look, a birthday without a cake shot! Be proud of me. Serge rolled the want to give her a birthday party, but I put my foot down.

Which I promptly felt really bad about.

(Yes, these two pictures ARE seconds apart. Can you believe my luck? *sob*)

Grim: “Man, does a day go by where someone DOESN’T die in this house?”

Sheogorath: “Shut it, Grim. We pay your salary.”

Serge: “It iz okay, because I have ze deazflower, yes? …Yes?”

Sheogorath: “;_;”

OH for…I thought we got rid of you?!

Mortimer: “I cannot be so easily destroyed. Anyway, I just wanted to pop in to say I think this is fantastic.”

Grim: “Oh my gosh, is that MORTIMER GOTH?”

Grim: “I’m, like, his biggest fan!!”

And now I’ve lost the will to write.

But wait! There is one more thing!

Since it’s the Holiday Season, I wanted to give you guys something. I can’t put together a Christmas special since I’ve played way past this point, so instead I’ve set up a Personality Downloads page. It’s not much to look at, but you can download sims from this Legacy for your own game if you like. If you don’t want to, then er…it’s the thought that counts I guess?

I’ll put up more sims for download as I nab their savefiles. If you’d like me to nab anyone in particular, I’ll see what I can do!

So that’s it for today!
