The Gregory Legacy ***Discontinued***

***DISCONTINUED***

So this is my first shot at a legacy. I don't like making stories so I did this instead. I don't like getting all dramatic or "interacting" with the sims that I play with. I just want to give the major details of my story. :D


This is my founder, Madeline.

6eq7wn.jpg


She married a much older man named Kurt Shallow.

Very soon after the wedding, they had a baby boy who they named Jacob.

Jacob's birthday came very quickly.

He grew into an adorable toddler!

But right after he grew up, Kurt died! :(

After Kurt's death, it was really tough to care for Jacob while holding down a full time job.

Madeline and Jacob go to the cemetary frequently to visit their beloved husband and father.

Before long, it is time for Jacob's birthday again!

But the birthday cake caught fire and engulfed half of the house!

Once new furniture was purchased, it was time to try the birthday party again.

Jacob looks exactly like his mother!!! :)

    So when Jacob was a child, Madeline married her best friend/boss, Meadow. Jacob never really cared for Meadow too much so he had little to nothing to do with her.

    Now Jacob is a young adult! :)

    Now that his mother has found a new wife, Jacob has been even more upset that he never got to have a relationship with his father.

    Unfortunately for Madeline, Meadow died one night as she was sleeping.

    Jacob was having VERY bad luck finding a girlfriend but finally found Sadie.

    Sadie can be downloaded here:

    And Jacob can be downloaded here:

    Great story and Legacy, hope Jacob and Sadie can keep the Gregory/Shallow legacy going.

    Suggestions: you could have Madeline,Kurt live longer, you killed them off to soon,or Jacob have a bro/sis.

    I like having big famlies - with like 2 - 4 kids

    @fazeman Yeah, Kurt actually died though. :( I was kind of disappointed. I only had him in my actual household for 4 sim days. Madeline is still alive and lives with Sadie and Jacob. She just doesn't do anything but work. Hahaha I'll be sure to take your suggestions into consideration. Thanks! :wink:

    Oh, I added you. :mrgreen:

    Similar in my Legacy of The Rogers Family - all of first gen and second generation passed away except the youngest Brother of 3 sisters,Jimi Rogers (uncle) lives with his 3 nieces, he is like the father figure of The Rogers Family now so i put the aging off.

    Ok, I had some technical difficulties with the game but now they are straightened out. :) So here goes...


    Jacob and Sadie's relationship progressed well and really fast. :-)

    They got pregnant soon afterward! Sadie immediately starts reading up on babies.

    2eg8nsn.jpg


    Jacob seems pretty excited too.

    kcjn6x.jpg


    Old Madeline doesn't do much anymore now that she has aged. The highlights of her day are going to work and gardening. She is excited about having her first grandchild though!

    2gsrjoi.jpg


    While still feeling excited about the new baby about to be born, both Jacob and Madeline are still very upset that Meadow died so unexpectedly.

    2saxrfn.jpg

    Sadie on the other hand has been ecstatic!

    f101ug.jpg


    I also caught her in great admiration of her wedding ring.

    After an adequate period of time, baby Graham was born!!! :D

    This is going to be really short.


    So Jacob absolutely loves the new addition to the family. He won't leave Graham alone!

    Although the bump is not visible yet, Sadie is excpecting once again and Graham just had his first birthday. :-)

    He is really cute and he looks exactly like his dad!! :D

    Haha Thanks! It's just Meadow was SUPER OLD when she and Madeline married so I guess death was inevitable. She was one of those sims that was getting in the way too so I didn't mind. Hahaha :-)

    I found Jacob on your favorites! Neat! I've never been on someone's favorites before. :mrgreen:

    Jacob and Graham have a very good relationship. :-)

    zt97gh.jpg


    Madeline, now a grandmother, is getting pretty old and is slowing down a lot but she is still the handyman (woman?) of the house.

    2whfdiv.jpg

    2ij2c79.jpg


    Sadie, who is pregnant once again, reads up on babies.

    11m7res.jpg


    She also eats like crazy!

    2u7oz8i.jpg


    Jacob has become very involved in Jacob. He teaches him all sorts of things.

    be5xsw.jpg

    30t5408.jpg


    Jacob quickly finds out that losing the bills equals the arrival of the repo-man!

    1ryv6g.jpg


    The baby is coming!!!

    2zf7pd2.jpg


    It's a new baby girl named Farrah!

    1z4d7k3.jpg


    Everyone wanted a girl so the whole family was ecstatic when they got their wish.

    It's already Graham's birthday!

    2zganx1.jpg

    oawzlu.jpg


    All of a sudden, Madeline dies!!!! It was very unexpected!!

    2052vlw.jpg

    281c5d2.jpg

    20at84m.jpg


    Everyone was upset. :cry:

    11heb2g.jpg


    The following day, it was time for a happier event--Farrah's birthday!

    Farrah has her dad's eyes but the dark hair was clearly a recessive gene. :D

    Ok, so Jacob and Sadie's family has dwelled a few changes...


    Sadie seems to be the one most upset about her mother-in-law, Madeline's, death.

    hwbvpe.jpg


    But then Sadie got the opportunity to bring back the ghost of Madeline! She took Madeline's remains to the science lab and got her back!! Sadie, along with the rest of the family, was ecstatic. And now that Madeline is back, she tends to care for Farrah more so than her own parents.

    255nerq.jpg

    2eyki7o.jpg


    Sadie suddenly started getting sick...A LOT!

    2wdy3kh.jpg

    ifqxpl.jpg

    1237gb5.jpg


    It turned out that she was pregnant again. :D

    537cwo.jpg


    While all this was going on, little Graham keeps to himself and does many thoughtful things for his family.

    1z3056g.jpg

    dziii8.jpg


    Sadie starts preparing for her new baby. She goes to the spa to relax and she gets medical advice at the hospital.

    ta3abn.jpg

    6i5lk0.jpg


    Soon enough, it was time for the baby to arrive!

    2ylkxh1.jpg

    2lswrxs.jpg


    There was a huge surprise - it was twins! The whole family welcomed Grayson and Tanner to the family.

    2i7761l.jpg


    A few days later, it was Graham's birthday.

    mtovb9.jpg


    Once again, he looks just like his dad. Compare them:

    mto1h1.jpg

    1zqx934.jpg


    Then it was time for Farrah's birthday.

    2rh4kxu.jpg


    And she looks exactly like...no one! She is still cute though. :)

    2qamfdy.jpg


    The twins' progress will be up here sometime soon. :P

    You have a nice legacy here, I only have one criticism.
    Instead of just kinda listing things that happen, I suggest making it more of a story, adding humor, drama or twists. It just keeps readers more hooked. (:
    Otherwise you're doing fine. The kids are cute!

    But that's the reason she started this was because she would much rather play her sims then make them act. I'm doing the same thing.

    Hahaha yeah, I thought it was funny too. Sims actually do that too! Yesterday, my sim tried to go out and tell her ex-boyfriend to "stop peeping" in her house!!! I have a picture of it. :lol:

    Well, Jacob has been steadily moving up in his career after finally mastering the athletic skill.

    2qjyalc.jpg


    Farrah and her mother, Sadie, have started to develop a rocky relationship. Farrah is starting to show her rebellious side.

    3518xth.jpg


    Twins, Grayson and Tanner, have brought lots more work into the house. Everyone must help out.

    29p2eeo.jpg


    Graham is getting more and more like his dad. Not only is he a carbon copy of Jacob, but he is also starting to take an interest in working out!

    edgsh.jpg


    Birthdays! Birthdays! Birthdays! It's time for Jacob and Sadie to hit full-on adulthood!

    vr3orc.jpg

    Now it's time for Grayson and Tanner's birthday too! :)

    23tfuc5.jpg


    Now here is Grayson. He looks a lot like Farrah.

    And here is Tanner. We have another Daddy's boy!! :shock:

    I really like this :D ! I would suggest moving this to Wordpress.com! for the only reason that it would be 100x's easier to read :3 you can have pics on it and write, Ect. Its just a Suggestion. If you want a Example of a legacy on Wordpress check out Hugzies.

    Note: I'm not trying to be mean in anyway its just a suggestion!!! + Alot of people who don't want to deal with making a Vid legacy or a Story Legacy use it.. :?

    Fazeman, that really wouldn't make for a legacy. Since the idea is to go from generation to generation, aging would have to be turned on in order for the next generation to take over. Otherwise, iammypersona would probably still just be on Generation 1 since no one would age. Understand?


    Sadie and Farrah turned out to be gorgeous by the way. Out of the current group of kids, Farrah is by far my favorite for looks so far.

    And wordpress is actually fairly simple to use once you get use to it. Pretty much, you could just copy and paste what you have posted here into a new blog post and hit publish.

    Thanks a lot for your comments and oppinions Ashley745! I actually started my wordpress blog yesterday. It's a lot to get used to (I'm technologically challenged hahaha) but I think I am doing okay so far. I went a lot more in depth with the one on wordpress and it's in more of a diary perspective. I hope others will like it as much as I do. The link is in my siggy if you would like to check what I have so far. Oh, and thank you for the compliments on Farrah and Sadie! Much appreciated. :mrgreen:
