Schumacher Random Legacy: Chapter 1.2

Hello all! When I first started this legacy (as in creating my founder and stuff), I was planning an elaborate story to go behind my randomacy rolls. After dealing with stupid custom content and other annoying aspects of trying to make my photos better, I decided that I was just going to play the Sims 4 in all its glory, taking pictures along the way. It is a randomacy, which means I have rolls for every generation. I will post them, so don't look unless you want to spoil the generation. The succession law I am following is Equality, Modern, Democracy, which really means that the heir will be chosen by you guys. Simple. That's how I like it. Also, if you would like to download any sims from my story, I will post them to my Origin profile: WarLily1661 or post their original creators on this thread.

Haha, not quite yet. I just finished getting pictures.
A fresh start. A huge plot of land, and it was all mine. Granted, it did cost me most of the money I had saved up. I would barely be able to afford the basics. But, I was strangely okay with this. I loved the outdoors. The colors, the smells, the sounds, I loved them all. So what if I didn't have walls right then? I thought I would be able to live like this for a while. Well, I better had get moving. I had to buy my furniture and set up my house before it got dark.
I felt accomplished. I bought the bottom of the line kitchen, bathroom, and mailbox, so that I could splurge a little on the bed. I would be fine living like this until I could make more money. It was going to be a little weird using the restroom and showering for everyone to see, but I chose this life. If someone really wanted to see this, I guess they could. I thought I would buy walls and a door with whatever money came in next. Speaking of, I needed to get a woodworking table. If I was to become the best wood artist there ever was, I would have to buy that table. I hoped it wasn't that expensive... I only had 20 Simoleons left after my furniture purchase.
Well, I had had better days. Although, I guess I was still happy. The woodworking table was 750 Simoleons! And since woddworking was my main source of income, I had to take some furniture back to pay for the table. All in all, I traded my bottom of the line kitchen for the table. Oh well, I would have to go to the park to cook until I could pay for a new kitchen. After the whole ordeal, I was left with 10 Simoleons. I really liked to live on the dangerous side, apparently.
I decided that I better start working as soon as possible. I didn't know how long I would be able to live without a kitchen. And what was I supposed to do about bills? Not to mention, food costs money. So, I started crafting right away. I forgot to mention, materials went into my line of work (wood, duh). So, I could have either made a knife block that would have cost me 5 Simoleons, or a horse statue that would have cost me 10. I didn't want to spend every last cent I had saved up in one day, so I went for the block.
My finished masterpiece. I thought it looked pretty good for a first project. I got a 100% return on investment, so pretty much I made 5 Simoleons after subtracting what I had initially spent to make the block. I was now at 15 total Simoleons. At this rate, it would take me years to buy a kitchen, not to mention an entire house!
The next thing I made was a horse statue. I made 10 more Simoleons after that was complete. My bank account is slowly rising. I now had a total of 25 Simoleons.
I made two more things before I decided to call it quits for the day. I made another horse statue and a bar stool. After the entire day's work, I had 50 Simoleons. I would have liked to make more, but I will get what I can. Woodworking is not a lucrative career in the early stages.
I was really low on my fun and social needs. I needed to talk to someone stat! Plus, I was kind of hoping to find a guy to be my husband sometime soon. So I headed over to the nightclub, the Blue Velvet. I went over to the bar, as any normal sim would. But, then I realized I could not have any drinks because they would take away half of my funds per drink! So, I socialized with the bartender and the man who sat next to me. His name was Maximiliano Barone. I thought he sounded pretentious, but then he told me he was a bartender at the club. I would have spat out my drink if I had one. Maximiliano was not my type, at all.
I was thinking of leaving the nightclub, so I walked to the door. But, there was a small group of sims who looked about my age. I went and introduced myself to them. The brunette was named Liberty Lee, the blonde was Summer Holiday, and the guy was J Huntington III. Man, did all the guys in Willow Creek have pretentious sounding names? I think I might have to make my husband keep my name when we get married. I talked with these guys for a while, but soon got bored and hungry. I left to go to the park. At least there I could eat!
When I got to the park, I made a beeline straight for the grills. I was so hungry it was unbelievable. I had bought the ingredients for hot dogs (of course you can't make just one hot dog though), which had cost me 13 Simoleons. I was dipping into the 30s now. I needed to make more wood crafts. I know what I will be doing tomorrow.
When I got done cooking, I was surprised at the amount of hot dogs I had actually made. This would last me a while. So, not only did I take a hot dog, I took all the hot dogs. Nobody else would be eating the food I worked so hard to pay for. I was going to eat all of these myself. I put the entire tray of hot dogs in my inventory, and ate the singular hot dog on a bench.
I was still really bored. Nothing was fun at all. I looked around to see what I could do at the park. Lo and behold, I spotted chess tables. I learned the rudimentary rules when I was little. I could try to remember them. Hopefully, this would be a fun pass-time.
I played chess until 12:45 am that night. That was four hours of chess. FOUR! I really did like it, maybe I would take up that hobby once I got a handle on my finances. I was dead tired when I got home that night, so I just fell into bed. That night's sleep was one of the most relaxed night's sleeps I had gotten in a long time.
When I awoke, I was hungry and I had to pee so bad. First, I used the toilet. Breakfast was a whole other ordeal that I would have to think of. I wasn't awake enough for that yet.
While I was using the toilet, I thought of the night before. Then, I remembered that I had made a ton of hot dogs. Why didn't I just eat those? When I pulled them out, however, they were slightly smelly. Well, actually really smelly. They had a stink cloud surrounding them.
But, I ate them anyway. Why let good food go to waste, even if it is a little smelly? When I took a bite out of it, it was disgusting. I trudged along though, eating every last bite of that hot dog.
And then, to make matters worse, I vomited up my entire breakfast. It is possible those hot dogs were more than a little spoiled.
Ew.
After the morning I had, you would think that my day couldn't get worse. But, you were wrong. I had a public toilet, so I had to keep it clean. People may be able to see me go number 1 and 2, but they were not going to see a disgusting toilet. So, I cleaned the horridness that had become of my plumbing.
Finally, I took a shower. I hoped that not every day would be like this. I just wanted a normal life. I don't know if I would get one. AND WHERE AM I GOING TO FIND A HUSBAND???
I enjoyed the start of your story, by the way.

After my shower, in which I became very inspired, I decided to woodwork some more. I made a copious amount of barstools that day.
I kept making barstools. They were the best seller/highest money maker. Once I had made enough profit to do so, I bought a trashcan. At least now I would be able to throw away rotten food. Like those hot dogs... They make my stomach turn.
I kept woodworking all day, not even stopping for food. I did stop when J came over, very sad. I was concerned, even though I had only just met the guy the day before. I wanted to continue making my barstool, but I took a break for him.
I cheered him up, getting out of him that a girl wronged him in some fashion. But, he was noncommittal, so it wasn't that he was sad she left, just sad that he didn't leave her. I decided that he needed a friend, so I talked with him all evening, until some would call us friends. He was very easy to talk to, and I could see why he always had trails of girls following him.
I really had to use the restroom though, so I had to shoo J away abruptly. He was my friend, but I would not pee in front of him. Strangers who I would never see again are one thing... not my friends. Especially while they are sitting five feet away at the end of my bed.
After I used the toilet, I realized I had not eaten all day. So, I ordered a pizza over the telephone.
However, the pizza guy took a really, really, REALLY long time. I ended up falling asleep without even receiving my pizza. You could say I was peeved. And starving. That is not someone you want to talk to.
I finally got my pizza at about 10 am the next morning. I would have been meaner, but I was so hungry, that I just dove into the pizza. I didn't even pay the clerk, who ended up standing there for another hour.
After my first plate of pizza, I was finally in an okay enough mood to talk to the clerk. I paid her, and then we talked a tiny bit. Her name was Asia Easley. Not the easiest name to say, but whatever. After that, she left.
Finally happy enough to continue my barstool from the night before, I grabbed my hammer. But, before I could make much headway, Summer came over, very angry. Similar to J, I cheered her up and we talked for a while. She and I didn't quite become friends, but we were close. I then shooed her away because I had to pee again. History repeats!
I decided that I wanted to take a shower first though. I felt disgusting because I hadn't taken a shower for two full days.
Then I used the toilet.
To continue my ever so fascinating streak, I then ate more pizza.
I was bored of my craft-eat-sleep-pee schedule, so I visited the park to play more chess and meet some people. I was in a flirty mood, which made it even more fun! The gardener was a real hoot to talk to.
I also met Felicity Choi, and she and I had quite the flirty conversation. Which was weird for me, because that was not the way I swung. I needed to find a husband soon!
After Felicity left, I realized I was hungry. Not in the mood to make food myself, I found some hamburgers that someone left on the picnic table. I smelt them, and they didn't seem spoiled, so I ate one. Oh well. Food is food.
Suddenly, a male sim (who was probably my age, but looked as if he was twelve) sat next to me. He started being sassy to me right off the bat. He insulted me a lot, then left. I thought it was weird and rude, and it honestly ruined my stolen hamburger. I just wanted to find a nice man. Is that too much to ask???
After that, I just returned home and went to bed. Today was boring and weird. I want few things in life. Rude sims are not part of that list.
The next day, I spent the entire morning at the park. It was uneventful and boring, even playing chess. So, I went home and spent the entire day making barstools.
With all the extra money from my barstool making, I finally had enough for the cheapest fridge. I was so excited! No more quickly spoiling food!!! Yay!!!
I think you'll enjoy having a blog for the story. I find it easier than posting updates in a thread, because it makes it easier to see what you post looks like before you publish it. I don't know much about WP, but over in the Writer's lounge thread I can't wait to see your WordPress.
And I think I forgot to mention how much I like that your found is a wood artist. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that as the primary income. Should be interesting.

Thanks. I don't know which I like better. In terms of being organized, I like WP better because it is a website and can have tabs and stuff. But, for the actual posting of the story, I copy and paste the story from the forums, then play with formatting. That way I don't have to deal with replacing every single picture.
Thank you. It's been an experience, to say the least. That is why I love playing the random legacy, because it makes me play in a way I never would have thought to play.

Woodworking is one of the more creative careers of this legacy. I'm a fan!
