Introduction
For a long time the Shizue twins lived in a small town in a small country, but one day it was decided by them that they should seek for new horizons. They’ll start a new life on Sunset Valley. Unfortunatelly, moving to another country is quite a chore and the Landgraab Company is no Nook Inc. From plane tickets, food, extra luggage, currency conversion to buy a lot took everything they had and they weren’t allowed to pay for all of that later. They didn’t even give them tents to place in their empty lot.
This is Isabelle Shizue. She’s very Clumsy, Good, Outgoing and her biggest dream is to be Friend of the World.
And, this is her brother Digby Shizue. He has a relaxed personality much like his sister, Isabelle. He’s a 🐸🐸🐸🐸, Genius, Geek and his biggest dream is to be a Renaissance Sim.
Will this lovely twin couple be able to rebuild from ground up? Are those two going to find love in the new town? And, are those two going to be able to build a successful lineage? Let's all see what's going to happen!
This is a legacy challenge, but its a mix of a bunch of things I like. I had started the Disney Princess Legacy, but had some problems, still I had finished all the rapunzel's character goals, so I'll marry her to Digby (her name is Somnia). Then, Digby's descendants will follow a loose version of the Disney Princess Legacy. Meanwhile, I still don't know what I'll do to Isabelle's descendants, but this generation we'll be playing with the twins in this version of the rags to riches challenge:

First Season: Isabelle and Digby - Gen 01
00. Introduction
01. Bluebells and Lightnings (Week 01)
Family Funds: 0
Objectives:
- Gather flowers, fish, frogs and other resources to sell;
- Raise some Money;
- Digby: Finish reading 03 books;
- Isabelle: Introduce herself to 10 sims.
The Shizue twins arrived in Sunset Valley, and they were so happy despite being broke. A new life is beginning, and a lot of work will be necessary to build their new home.
Poor unfortunate souls! Isabelle and Digby didn’t even get a tent from the Landgraab company… They’ll probably have to sleep in public benches for some time.
Its Monday, and a couple of sims arrived to greet the twins to the neighborhood. Jocasta Bachelor is so warm and helpful!
Susan Wainwright and Bessie Clavell were really welcoming of them too and Christopher Steel even brought a fruitcake. Digby loved it, but Isabelle did NOT seem pleased by that awful cake.
she/her
AKA Doggers123
The twins are working non-stop to raise their funds from zero to something. Isabelle can’t seem to find another flower thats not a bluebell... Almost a 100 of them already.
Digby seems to be loving breeding frogs, and he’s really into fishing.
Poor Isabelle has been needing to have some fun lately. Fortunatelly, she loved playing chess, and even though she’s all dirty and smelly, someone decided to join her.
Meanwhile, Digby seems to be building a strong friendship with Christopher Steel. Maybe he’s trying to figure out the Steel family fruitcake recipe he loved!
This two aren’t having it easy. At least Isabelle accomplished her first goal of introducing herself to 10 sims. Those were: Christopher Steel, Susan Wainwright, Bessie Clavell, Dorie Hart, Erin Kennedy, Molly French, Jocasta Bachelor, Parker Langerak, Amanda Gerstein and Vita Alto. She doesn’t seem to like that last one!
Today they decided to plant all of those bluebells that Isabelle found, before the season changes. They even found a couple of lilies to plant!
Its Friday, and its started raining while the twins were finishing planting the bluebells. They decided to take a shower in the rain before the couldn’t. when suddenly Digby was hit by a lightning. He survived,,, but poor guy...
... he was hit again! Later, he went to make a couple of hot dogs for him and his sister, when another lightning struck down and killed him. OMG. You can even see Grim Reaper coming! Isabelle was so tired that shehad passed out. Unfortunatelly she arrived to late and couldn’t plead for Digby’s life anymore. TRAGIC.
Isabelle spent the whole day selling the flowers that her and Digby brother planted. She was sobbing the whole time. So saaaaaaad...
This was quite a week. New town, new friends and a bunch of bluebells to plant until a tragic accident happened. Isabelle just can’t believe that she’ll never see her brother again... Or will she?!

Isabelle was still sad to lose her brother, but at least now she managed to buy a tent, a cooler, a fire pit to be warmer and a outdoor shower with the money she got from selling all the flowers that grew from the plants that her and her brother planted. And she even had a bunch of money...
This until Nancy Landgraab showed up. Apparently there was a mandatory rules before building a garden that weren’t respected, and Nancy fined Isabelle with interests for each day that she had flowers growing on her yard. Poor Isabelle went back to 0 simoleons all over again.
The next day, Isabelle went to visit the library, and decided that she would study everything she needed to know to build her house.
Later that night, Digby’s ghost was spotted mourning his own death.
During the morning, Isabelle managed to find a ghost lurking in her yard. It was her brother, with whom she was able to reconnect. They need to strenghten their bonds to be able to have him permanently in the carnal world.
Excited, Isabelle decided to spend some time with an old friend of her brother, Christopher Steel, and share the news that her psychic powers helped her find her brother once again.
Today, the librarian Omar Chafik decided to talk to Isabelle. He saw how much dedication she had in study new skills and decided to reward her.
His mini-fridge was broken, and he promised to give her all logic and handiness skill books if she fixed them. She was certainly able to help him.
After spending days socializing with her brother's ghost during the night, Isabelle and him finally felt the curtain between worlds shake.
Digby was finally able to join the household once again, and this time as a ghost.
