Dynasty Chronicles Legacy LP: Gen4 #38 (13 Jun 2019) «12345...Next Go

ajaxpost

Hi all,

Some of you may recall that back in January 2012 (seven years ago!! ) I started writing a legacy style story but after a while my updates started to get very infrequent and I sort of restarted it a couple of times.

Well ... having struggled again to keep the writing going I moved to a new medium which I am really enjoying and which should be a lot easier for me to maintain regular updates.

I am staying with the same family and continuing the story I had been writing but am now publishing it as a "Lets Play" series on YouTube

If you enjoy watching Lets Plays, or just want to see what I'm up to, I would love it if you would pay a visit and let me know what you think - I'm especially keen to get advice and suggestions on how to improve.

If you like to use Twitter, I now have an account linked to my Youtube channel! Please check out and follow at: https://twitter.com/ajaxpost

Debra is back from university and settles back into family life.

This is the first Let's Play I have ever recorded and it has been a couple of months since I actually played the game! So there's a lot of me trying to remember what to do and giving the family some basic tasks to keep them busy.

... well, actually this is more like episode four part two, it's the same game session that was too long to upload as one video so I broke it in to two episodes.

https://youtu.be/bwxKFUYlze0

Debra and Johnny strut their funky stuff at the Spring Festival and Malia meets up with an old friend, somehow not succumbing to baked temptation!

Episode 8

https://youtu.be/YM6XPjOkwuY

Malia is let down by a friend, Debra creates a work of art (of some description!), Desirée turns out to be more scaredy-cat than brave-heart, and ... well ... actually nothing terribly exciting happens but the family do several unexpected things which made me laugh so I thought I'd share this session with you anyway!

ajaxpost

Episode 9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxv3bREATPI

It's a new day, Dolly delivers a fish and upsets a tourist, Debra enjoys a friendly cuddle, Malia bakes a cake and nearly forgets to organise a party!

And I get confused ... again!

Episode 10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIbZMdd-SKE

It's PARTY TIME! The Slade's host a great birthday party and Desirée ages up to TEEN.


Please VOTE!
Young Desirée needs a fourth trait and I would love your help in deciding what it should be.



Her child traits are:

• Adventurous
• Brave
• Disciplined
• ?????

She has also acquired the painting skill - sort of following on from her eldest sister Debra.

Please help me by suggesting a good (or bad!) trait for the youngest member of the family, a comment here or on the video page (just click the youtube video above) would be great!


If it helps these are the traits and wishes of the rest of her family:

• Carl Slade
  1. Computer Whiz; Dog Person; Easily Impressed; Genius; Nurturing
  • The Tinkerer Lifetime Wish
• Malia Slade
  1. Athletic; Coward; Green Thumb; Hopeless Romantic; Neat
  • Perfect Garden Lifetime Wish
• Debra Slade
  1. Avant Garde; Eccentric; Light Sleeper; Perceptive; Socially Awkward
  • Street Credible Lifetime Wish

Episode 14

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFbkXvcxfF4

Debra attempts to explore the tomb under the DD Community Museum...

I'm posting this video early as I will be away from my computer later in the week so it will be probably be the end of next week before I get another episode uploaded.

Oh, and if you can help Debra (and me!) it would be much appreciated!

ajaxpost

Hiya!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that the next video will be up later this week. I'd spent practically a week away from my computer and then I wanted to work out how to open the next door in the 'tomb' Debra was trying to explore in the last episode.

Well, I worked it out eventually (hurrah!) so can now get on with recording episode 15 in the next day or two ... and I reckon it's going to be pretty dramatic!

We unlock another secret room in the DD Community Museum but then there is dramatic news from home ...

It is the morning after and the family need to take time out to mourn, but even on such a sad day there is very pleasant surprise...

ajaxpost

Episode 17 is ready!

Sorry for the slight delay - my 'offline existence' got unexpectedly busy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU2e4W3ErUA

An odd little episode where not a lot happens, the family leave the graveyard to visit Malia's favourite lunch-time venue where I spend a lot of time forgetting stuff, worrying about Sims doing inexplicable things and musing on how to choose cakes and tea!

ajaxpost

Alrighty, time for Episode 18!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS59Z7jqHWc

The adults take off unexpectedly (so much for my plans!) and Dolly does some redesigning ...

ajaxpost

Episode 19!

... now it's just the teens, what will they get up to?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob9jCr20Ipg

Actually, not that much so I have fun talking about weather, trips to France, 1980s movies ... y'know the usual stuff!

ajaxpost

Oh My! I have reached 20 videos for my TS3 series!

So, here is episode 20 ...

Painting, hedgehogs, boyfriends ... it's all go in episode 22 of the Dynasty Chronicles!

A little later than expected ... hopefully when you see what I've been doing instead you'll forgive me

Anyhoo, episode 23, for that is where we're at: Johnny is feeling very pleased with himself but Debra can’t get round to asking a very important question. Meanwhile Desirée meets an old family friend…
