I tried to resist it, but it only was a matter of time before I made simselves of my real family. Follow the Minkeys (not our real last name) as they are hurdled through this zany adventure we call life. I'm going to play this family loosely based on Pinstar's legacy challenge. I already have a legit Legacy challenge going so this one will be much more lax and I won't be trying for points or anything.
Laws of the Land:
Heir Laws
Traits/Aspiration Laws
Other Tidbits
I may add more later, but that's it for now. On to introductions!
Name: Mal Minkey
Traits: Creative | Loves The Outdoors | Slob | *Collector
Aspiration: Bestselling Author (I think that's what it's called)
Career: Writer
Mal originally had the gardening aspiration but I realized she'd probably need a real job to support the family so I changed it to Best Selling Author. I was debating on her last trait, when my husband pointed out to me that I had been working on this family in CAS for over an hour when it was my turn to do the dishes that night. Slob trait it is!
Name: Dugg Minkey
Traits: Family Oriented| Romantic | Perfectionist | *Collector
Aspiration: Big Happy Family
Career: Stay at Home Dad
Dugg began with the Angling Ace aspiration but I couldn't make up my mind and went for Big Happy Family instead. Dugg is based on my real husband. He's always wanted to be a stay at home dad (who wouldn't?) so I've allowed it for the time being. He gardens and fishes all day, what a tough life.
Name: Levi Minkey
Traits: Genius |
Childhood Aspiration: Artistic Prodigy
My son. He picked out his clothes and aspiration. I chose his trait because he's a brain child irl.

Laws of the Land:
Heir Laws
- Either Gender is eligible for heir
- Potential heirs must be by blood, unless a blood heir cannot be produced or in case of untimely death. Adopted children are then eligible.
- Heir will be picked at random using random.org
Traits/Aspiration Laws
- Childhood trait and aspiration will be rolled using Pinstar's Random Trait Generator found here.
- Teen Trait may be picked if grades are at an A, otherwise it must be rolled.
- Adult Aspiration may be picked if childhood aspiration is completed, otherwise it must be rolled.
- Aspirations may not be changed until the first one is completed (with the exception of my founders because I'm super indecisive)
Other Tidbits
- No cheats may be used, at any point, whatsoever.
- Sims may move freely to accommodate their growing family, and lots may be pulled from the gallery or built.

Chapter 1: Fork, I Never Leave Home Without It.
Lol no it's not you. I am brilliant and forgot I'm logged into windows instead of mac on my laptop and was hitting CMD+C instead of CTRL+C to copy all those pictures from photobucket, which was basically like doing nothing. Oi. That took a long time to fix. All is well now!
Thanks! I've started reading yours as well.
Thanks! I'm having fun with it!
I don't have a thread here, no. I feel like it would be redundant and/or I would be way too lazy to keep both updated. But who knows, maybe I'll start one anyway.
Episode two is ready for your viewing pleasure! In this episode, baby Penny ages up, and Levi welcomes her to the family in true big brother fashion!
I'm thinking adding a blog and just linking would be beneficial here. These billion pictures will eventually eat up loading time.
@Badwolfgirl I was cracking up in game too. Dugg couldn't have said anything else. Haha.
Mal expresses her distaste for minnow fish tacos.
Levi walks in on Penny practicing her best Blue Steel.
Dugg is seeing the not so glamorous side of being a stay at home dad.
It's an epidemic!
Some highlights:
The Minkeys welcome a new addition to the family.
Penny deals with this unwanted sibling with an angry poop.
And Mal manages to set herself on fire.
