Welcome to my Wishacy Thread:D
I've always wanted to do one of these legacy/challenge with my sims. Mostly what I do with my game is just play around in CAS, start a few families and play around with some of the game features. I have never, however, attempted to play with one family that lasts throughout generations. I've had my eye on a few legacy challenges that I wanted to try out but this one won me over to go through with it and even post my progress in a thread.
**I found out about this legacy/challenge in
this thread.
**The rules to this legacy if you wish to read is
here. I must warn everyone that I'm not going to follow
every single rule listed on that page but for the most part I will be following the wishes of my founder and heirs of this legacy. This alone is a big feat for me because playing in the past I sort of did what
I wanted my sims to do.
To sum up this wishacy - "The idea is that the legacy is led by your founder, or heir/heiress, and that there is very little you can choose for your simmy in charge, you must do what their wishes/opportunities tell you to do." -quote straight from the wishacy rules site
I thought about maybe trying to make it in a story but I'm still learning as far as writing goes so I'm just going to go with the game flow, narrate whats happening and what I think my sims are thinking and talking about.
Now, on with the show....

This wishacy will take place in the beautifully made town of Meadow Glen from [url=
http://www.mysimrealty.com/WORLDS_MeadowGlenUpdated.html
]this site[/url].
(edit- been trying to get this hyperlinked but not going right, idk) I didn't download the save file that came with it to populate my world, I made some of the families and stole some from Sunset Valley and Bridgeport, you will slowly start to see some of them make a guest appearance
. As time goes on I will make or kidnap more families to migrate into the world but for right now I have about 14 families in the world, I believe, which is enough to get this thing started.
In the rules it says to start with a lone founder but not only did I make a founder I also made others to start out with. With the "non-founders" I will also try and do as they wish but with them I will have more lee-way to keep me from going insane from not doing as I wish all the time with the sole founder. Yea I'm a brat.
Intros

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-7.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
This is Connie Darden, rolled her name and some of her traits which is: Cat person, clumsy, excitable, family oriented, and neurotic with the LTW to be an Illustrious Arthur (master paint and writing skills).
Next
[IMG]
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-4.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Is Melanie Pena, half sister to Connie. Melanie's name was also rolled, her traits I picked which are: social butterfly, neat, cat person, snob and friendly. Hmmm a friendly snob, I kinda didn't think that one out too well but we shall see how this pans out. Her LTW is fashion phenomenon (reach level 10 of stylist career).
Then there's...
[IMG]
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-3.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Jullian Carrasco, best friends to both Connie and Melanie; of no family relation to either. Thought it would be great to already have some male testosterone around.
His traits are: brave, good sense of humor, flirty, genius -so perfect huh- and commitment issues. Had to throw in the bone, can't be too perfect. :twisted:
His LTW is Master of the Woohoo erm..I mean "Master Romancer" (woohoo with 5 different sims in 5 different places) with all the expansion packs there are now a plethora of woohoo spots. Thanks EA
And finally....
[IMG]
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-5.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Dinky the Cat!! Rolled his name, well actually it came up D.i.n.k, just added the y. 8)
His traits are proud, non-destructive, and genius. Pets are exempt from the too perfect rule in my game, they can be as perfect as can be.
Now the question is who did I choose as the founder? I'm sure it's easy to guest but it's...
[IMG]
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Connie. Family Oriented, big give away right? I need the founder to wish for kids so I can get past generation one.
I'll document at the end of each chapter the wishes and opportunities that were fulfilled and any Behind-the-scenes (BTS) info I would like to share. If you're interested in this journey with me please bookmark this thread so you can easily find it later.
Please feel free to comment/leave suggestions/critique on it but like I said earlier I'm still learning as far as writing goes, so if you see any grammatical and spelling errors I apologize in advance.
Since this is my first legacy I'm posting on this thread things my feel a little rocky until I get more and more comfy with it but I also want you feel right at home here.
I've already taken pics for chapter 1 so that should be up later on today. Just wanted to get this started. Thanks for reading!!

In the intro we established that Connie will be the wishacy founder. Melanie, Jullian and Dinky the cat will be staying with her as well. Connie seems to be nervous already. The pressure of knowing her actions could have a huge impact to what happens throughout the remainder generations, may be a little overwhelming for now.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-8.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
But the taste of the rain helps her forget her worries for a moment.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-9.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Melanie is quick to remind her of her founder duties, “Jullian and I already know what we want to do career wise. So what are your plans on generating some income Connie, we got the house, now we need to bring in the cash.”
Connie just continues to taste the rain instead of answering.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-10.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
While Jullian sends subliminal messages to Dinky with his umbrella.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-11.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
They all finally venture into the house to take in their surroundings. Again the realization of her responsibilities is hitting Connie hard. You get the nice house and with it come nice bills, which you have to get a job to pay for those bills, but the bills will never stop because more bills will come and you have to keep working to pay those and on and on and on!
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-12.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Connie sees Melanie fixing her mouth to ask her again, “Yea I have a plan, as a matter of fact I think the science career will be a nice start.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-17.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Melanie is more than amused, “You? Join the science career? This I have to see.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-18.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
She will see, they will all see. Connie may have been a worry wart but she believed in herself and that’s what counts. She looked forward to it.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-13.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Dinky, however, was not looking forward to going up and down those steps every day.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-14.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
But those stairs would not defeat him. No, no.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-42.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Connie set her plan in motion and ventured out to the town to the science lab. First day in Meadow Glen and it was raining cats and dogs.
As I went into town mode I saw this:
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-52.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
First time seeing this since I got seasons, how vibrantly beautiful.
And here’s the outside look of their house
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-23.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Front
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-24.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Back…I just adore the backyard.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-39.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
This room is above the garage and has instruments in it but I turned it into a little stylist and painting studio for Melanie and Connie
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-51.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Here’s the setup after. Jullian and Melanie came and checked it out. Even Dinky came to get a look.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-48.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Jullian approved, “This is a nice little setup you got here.”
“Thanks, want to be my first makeover victim?”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-49.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Jullian seems insulted, “What are you talking about, you can’t improve perfection.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-50.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Clearly someone has lowered the expectation of perfection now-a-days.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-46.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Across town Connie marched right up to the science facility with hired on her
mind. In fact she practiced hearing it, “You are hired. No, it would be more like, Miss Connie we have been waiting for someone like you to take this company in the right direction, when can you start? Yea…that sounds awesome.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-55.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Melanie went to the hair salon to land a job as a stylist. She made sure her talents were known. She was a beast with the comb.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-59.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Jullian got the job as a journalist and had a want to meet someone knew. He first started talking to Lisa King, Johanna King from Bridgeport daughter. Which…..
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-57.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Holy Bageezers, I just couldn’t resist doing a makeover on.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-58.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
I like.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-60.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
As Jullian was talking to her, he seen hot mama coming out of the movie theaters so I had him try and talk to her. Might as well get some contacts to set his Master Romancer in motion.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-61.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Hey lady wait up! I want to talk to you!”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-62.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
While Jullian checks out her assets, the woman, who goes by the name of Gloria Kelley sets her child down. I guess she thinks the conversation will be worth it to set her child down in the rain. “Mommy will be right back pumpkin; I’m going to talk to this nice man.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-68.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Hi, I’m Gloria. What did you need to talk to me about?” all smiles from her.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-65.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Hi.”
“Hi.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-66.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
After landing the job at the science lab, Connie had a want to go take painting classes.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-67.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
But as soon as the class was over she had a nervous breakdown. Maybe it was too much learning in one setting?
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-69.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
She came home right away to used what she learned in class. She didn’t want to forget anything too soon. She didn’t paint long because she heard Melanie come home.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-71.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Guess who has a job working in the science facility? Moi. Hired me right on the spot.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-73.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Of course Connie, all places hire right on the spot silly. I’m just dying to see how long you’re going to stay and if you don’t end up fired.”
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-70.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
“Oh.” She didn't really think about all of that.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-76.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Right now she had other things on her mind, like the urge to clean. But this place was spotless.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-78.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
So instead she settled with learning the handiness skill. If she was to keep her job she needed to gain the necessary skills to get promoted.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-84.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
So she put her eyes and brain to work.
Oh and Jullian?
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-81.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Was still standing near the theaters. Perhaps awe struck from the blond beauty he got to “talk” to.
[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i385/nicholeblak/Do As You Wish Wishacy/Screenshot-85.jpg"width=640" "height=480"[/IMG]
Dinky retreated to the garage to catch some zzz’s.
**This is the end of chapter 1! Not much happened but that's kind of how it normally is in the very beginning right?
Hmmm I noticed some of my pictures at the end are smaller than the others, anyone know the correct way to fix this for future reference??
Thanks to all those to took time out to read. Please comment/leave suggestions/ critique as you wish. I embrace them all.
Connie’s wishes in this chapter were:
Join Science Career
Learn Painting Skill
Take a class in the painting skill
Talk about new job
Paint
Clean something (nothing to clean)
Learn handiness skill
