Bloomer Legacy (A Build Newcrest Story): Complete «1234567…132...Next Go

ThePlumbob

Welcome to the home of the Bloomer family!

For the most part, this is based on the #BuildNewcrest legacy - a challenge created by @ShadyLady_DQ , you can find the full set of rules here. I do however see the rules more as guidelines, and will stray from or break most of them throughout the course of the story.

Come along as the Bloomers build Newcrest from scratch; as in real life, there are ups and downs in this story and I may not always play by the rules, but hopefully you'll enjoy the ride! Head over to the Chapter Index to start reading.

The Bloomer Family Tree


The family tree was created with The Plum Tree. Click here for a full-size version of the family tree.

Ready to plunge into the story? Start from the beginning!

Do you find long legacies intimidating? I would recommend reading the full story for maximum enjoyment, but if the number of chapters scares you, two good starting points further down the line may be Generation 3 or Generation 7.

Great start. I too am a big fan of starting with Zero Simoleons and working my way up.
Good luck ♧ on your quest.

ThePlumbob

Thank you so much! I usually get a bit bored with my Sim families once they do become rich, so the rough beginnings are my favourite part

Chapter 1 - Kirk arrives in Newcrest with no money but big ambitions

lovingbabes

Great story so far ..I love how you are starting with nothing and working your way up.

ThePlumbob

Thank you @lovingbabes ! I love starting with nothing, it's a great challenge! Though Newcrest is so well-equipped with all the grills, public toilets and rare collectibles that it's not too hard at all!

What woke up Bob Pancakes from his pancake numbness? Find out in Chapter 2!

I finished my first community lot - the haunted memorial park.
You can download it here (careful, the lot name is a spoiler of who dies in Part 3)

SilentKitty

I really enjoyed your story and it is such a pretty park. Thank you for posting!

ThePlumbob

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I wasn't too sure how to go about building a park, but it seemed to have turned out decent

I lol the post I always find grim's pictures funny. I thought he only came to take sims but I've seen him everywhere. The most recent one that I found very very funny, it was in a tweet but I can't remember whose, grim was babysitting in an old sims game

Ooh you found me! Oh I've had the same thing in one of my saves, Grim was everywhere whenever I went to a community lot, playing the piano, performing a comedy routine or just having a casual drink... I thought it was quite appropriate since the sim I was playing at the time was this gothic musician that reminded me of the singer from the band HIM (most of their songs reference death or the reaper)

You might be better than you think, I've always been more inclined to download houses of the gallery, but I'm really enjoying the building aspect now. That being said, I'm trying not to think too far ahead, making the large venues like a club or a library will probably be tough!
