Yes @Metior_Ice the Fengs would not make it through life unassisted. They have no cooking and no handiness points. Even before they had Ben, they relied on caterers and repairmen.
I wonder if the Geekcon win just had to do with who else was at the contest? Maybe all the contestants had zero programming skill or something.
@Metior_Ice I do really love Astrid and Morgyn together, so I'm hoping that will make me want to stick with this legacy. Also having my rotational save might help, too, since I can switch to that whenever I get bored. I've only ever finished one legacy so I'm really determined to stick with this one.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For today's update, I switched back to my rotational save because I made a couple of new sims with the new kits and I wanted to play with them. I'm only playing with one of them right now but I'll probably play with the other sim soon.
Anyway, this is Ashley Yang. She lives in San Myshuno in the apartment the Karaoke Legends used to live in.
The Welcome Wagon came by to visit. The two sims that are sitting with Ashley on the couch are some random sims I found on the gallery that I thought were cute. The other two are Maxis gallery sims, I think they were in the City Living trailer.
Ashley is an outgoing sim, so she had no trouble getting along with her new neighbors
Ashley is in the social media career, so she updated her status as part of her work task
Ashley is also a serial romantic. I haven't played with that aspiration in awhile so I thought it'd be fun. Here she is flirting with Jack, one of her neighbors.
Later that evening, Ashley threw a party since she had the whim for it. She invited her neighbors as well and Candy Behr and Imane (I forgot Imane's last name, she's a sim from the gallery)
Ashley talked to Danny and Jack in the kitchen while the caterer made a slightly weird assortment of food.
Ashley and Jack were able to have a moment alone on her balcony
The party went fairly well but there were some things that could have gone better. Candy just sat on Ashley's bed for most of the party, Chad pranked the toilet, and Imane threw up for some reason. At least everyone seemed like they had fun.
The next day, Ashley checked her social media timeline after she was done eating breakfast
Later, she did some yoga on the balcony
She also went on a date with Jack.
The date went well, and Ashley asked Jack to be her boyfriend.
Later, Ashley went to Planet Honey Pop for some karaoke
The mixologist wasn't tending the bar, so Ashley ended up having to make her own drink
Ashley ended up talking to J Huntington III. Pretty sure she flirted with him, too. Hopefully Jack doesn't find out about that.
Princess Roddy and Shine went into the kitchen and prepared the grand meal:
Meanwhile, Benjamin gave his father a loving hug:
The pair chatted:
Advarius then went back home. Shine then called the family to the grand meal:
Everyone grabbed a plate and chowed down:
Once everyone was finished, Hamish took the empty plates to the dishwasher:
The family had enjoyed Shine and Princess Roddy's cooking and were quite full.
Bee time, also cowplant time!
Picture only section time!
Tree decoration!
Princess Roddy and his family decorated the Christmas tree:
Then the adults put the tree topper on:
Princess Roddy lit the Christmas tree!
And then everyone placed a present under the tree:
Everyone was looking forward to winter. Princess Roddy looked forward to ice skating and exploring Henford-on-Bagley in the snow. Sophia was looking forward to the building of the snow pals, and impromptu snowball fights. Hamish looked forward to seeing Henford-on-Bagley in the snow as well. Winter is always exciting for the Furystrykar Household!
Chicken cuddles, weeding and general animal husbandry!
What's this? Another picture only section? Why yes!
A change of makeup!
Princess Roddy decided to change his makeup. He changed his eyeshadow to the one he uses for his feminine formal and royal outfit. Then he touched up his blusher:
The princess then applied his new lipstick, followed up with his lipstick sealer:
Afterwards, Princess Roddy went outside and cuddled Hilda, his golden hen chick:
Hilda wasn't the only chick who was getting cuddles! Angus McTavish II, Princess Roddy's golden rooster chick, was getting cuddles from Shine!
Later, Princess Roddy changed into his royal dress and sang to a bird from the Old Hollow Flock:
He also gave another bird from the flock some affection:
The Old Hollow Flock helped to keep Princess Roddy's vegetable patch free from pests, so he was grateful for their help.

My Sim's name is Navash. I brought him to the bar in Oasis Spring, where he met a woman and she would flirt with him. He fell for her and surprisingly their romance increased quickly, and they got in a relationship . The next in-game day I took him to the bar again, but he caught the woman flirting another man (she had the romantic trait so that could explain it) and he got angry. They argued at the bar, but since it was my first time experimenting with a romantic relationship with an NPC, I wanted to save the couple, so I made him resolve his conflict with her- and their relationship continued, but obviously their relation meter went down. Yes, I'm kind of new to the gameplay, I used to play the Sims 3.
Another in-game day passed and he caught her cheating with the same man she'd flirted with. Navash had enough. This time I thought it'd be pointless to make him fix this relationship. He broke up with her, and they beat each other up! After she left the bar, my sim decided to chat with the very man his ex was flirting with. About an entire ingame week went by, and my sim ended up dating the man. I found it amusing because I never thought about the woman's exes dating each other.
I didn't get to take screenshots of the whole thing but I don't think I can post pictures yet either. I'm new to the forums!
@Naviestyx Welcome to the forums! When you get a chance to share pictures, I look forward to seeing more of Navash's Story.
If it helps, give a response to the stories shared here. It isn't much, but it might make someone's day. And, it will bring you a little closer to being able to share pictures!
My sim went for a wander in Magnolia Promenade and ummm met some very errr concerning friends?
My sim is the one sitting at the table in the red jacket. hmmmm
Think she should call the police? She only wanted some peace and quiet.
@mightysprite thank you!!! it's not on the gallery right now but I can try to put it up. I turned it into a loft so it might be a bit tricky but I will try.
edit: it’s up. My username on the gallery is the same as on here. I had to upload it in two parts since there’s two floors.
On to today's update:
Jack asked Ashley on a date to a seafood restaurant
It was Bunny Day, and the Flower Bunny showed up at the restaurant
After the date, Ashley brought Jack back to her apartment and things got a bit steamy
Later, they watched a movie together
That night, Ashley was about to go to bed when she heard loud woohoo noises coming from the apartment next door. She pounded on the door to see who was making all that noise, and it was Jack. Obviously, she was not happy.
She followed him into his apartment to chew him out
Jack tried to explain himself but Ashley wasn't having it
She ended up breaking up with him. It was a very short lived relationship but oh well.
The next day, Ashley left for her first day of work in a slightly odd outfit.
That evening, Ashley was feeling flirty and had the whim to kiss someone so she sent a flirty text to Don Lothario. She was able to kiss him but he left immediately. He must have had work.
After Don left, Ashley sang for some tips since she didn't have enough money to pay her bills. She's not that good at singing but she did manage to get enough.
The next morning, Ashley checked her social media timeline before she went to work.
She got promoted and now she wears a slightly less weird but still kind of weird outfit.
Later, Ashley's neighbor Danny invited her over. He and his roommate live in the penthouse that's in that neighborhood. Ashley was feeling flirty again and, well...
She went home and ate some grilled cheese before going to bed. After the Jack incident, she's probably going to stay single for a little while. She's having too much fun flirting with people right now, anyway.
Princess Roddy was relaxing in his bedroom. Sophia and Hamish knocked on the door. 'Come in, Sophia and Hamish!' Princess Roddy said. The pair walked in. Sophia then ran over to the princess and glomped him!
'Hello big brother!' Sophia said, cheerfully. 'Hello Sophia! Seems you're full of energy as usual!' Princess Roddy replied. Sophia giggled and gave her big brother a loving smooch on his cheek:
The princess chuckled. He then changed into his feminine cold weather outfit and gave his little sister a loving smooch on her nose:
Princess Roddy smiled and turned his attention to his little brother. 'Hello, Hamish!' the princess said, smiling sweetly at his little brother. He gave Hamish a great, big, loving hug:
Hamish gave his big brother a light kiss on his cheek:
Princess Roddy giggled. He gave Hamish a loving smooch on his cheek:
'I love you, big brother!' Hamish said. 'I love you too, Hamish!' Princess Roddy replied, looking fondly at his little sister and brother.
You guessed it, animal husbandry time!
Time for another picture only section!
Sudden sibling attack!
Sophia and Hamish were waiting for their big brother to come back upstairs. Hamish saw a mischievous smile spread across his big sister's face. 'I know what's about to happen...' he thought. And sure enough, Sophia ran over and glomped Hamish!
Sophia giggled. She then hugged her little brother tight and attempted to plant a smooch on his cheek:
'Come on Hamish, can't I give my adorable little brother a little smooch on his cheek?' Sophia asked, innocently. Hamish gave up struggling and conceded. Sophia gave Hamish a loving smooch on his cheek:
Then Princess Roddy and Sophia sat either side of their little brother and gave him a very great, big, loving cuddle and a loving smooch on both his cheeks. Hamish burst out laughing and so did Princess Roddy and Sophia. Afterwards, the three Furystrykar children listened to music.
Shelly Heart visits!
Shelly Heart visited Dianthus Hall. 'Come in, sister! Princess Roddy is in his bedroom, along with Sophia and Hamish!' Shine said, inviting her in. Shelly went upstairs and entered Princess Roddy's bedroom. 'Auntie Shelly!' Princess Roddy exclaimed, happy to see her. 'Hello, my adorable little cutie pie!' Shelly replied. She batted her eyelashes and made a very great, big kissy face at the princess, which made him giggle:
Shelly then gave Princess Roddy a very great, big, loving smooch on his cheek:
Then she gave him a great, big, loving hug:
Shelly noticed the picture above Princess Roddy's bed had changed. 'Awww, that's a lovely photo of you and Jessica Lacey!' she said, smiling. 'Thank you, auntie Shelly!' The princess replied, smiling warmly. 'I've got a picture of me and Olivia Kim-Lewis on one of my bedside tables, aunt Shelly!' Hamish said. 'That's so sweet, Hamish!' Shelly said, looking fondly at her youngest nephew. Then she chatted with her nephews and niece. Later on, Shelly Heart said goodbye and went back to Azalea Abode in Oasis Springs.
@Sablesasha,
Ah yes, the 'We Wear Bags' Neighbourhood Action Plan in effect. It's a menace. Whoever thought that was a good idea for a NAP needs to be taken aside and have a stern talking to.
@mia_noelle97,
Guessing the Flower Bunny isn't the strangest customer the restaurant's had.

@mightysprite I'll edit in the screenshot later, but Dylan got a 48/100 points and won the hackathon. So, it could have been an instance of not having skilled competition.
Here's the screenshot. If I remember correctly, Dylan was wearing a Villains costume to Geek Con. The irony is that Dylan sometimes gets the Angelic Toddler Moodlet and truly doesn't have a bad bone in his body. I've never seen him do anything mean or mischievous, so seeing him win a hacking contest was a bit of surprise.
@Metior_Ice What’s Dylan’s programming skill like? I had a Sim win the hackathon with 51/100. Obviously the entry standards aren’t very high at these contests! My Sim isn’t mean or mischievous either. Their programming skill wasn’t hugely high either.

So my heir and main played sim brought a lotto ticket with money she could lest depart with and I saw a notification that someone won the Rosebud 1million! And it was her rich sister in law that lives in a different household
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ashley went on a date with Danny the day after she kissed him
Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of said date, but I did get a picture of this nice sunset. The date went pretty well considering they were at the restaurant for hours and their food never came.
After the date, Ashley brought Danny back to her apartment
She got another promotion and now wears an even weirder outfit
Ashley ordered some Zoomers for dinner. Ashley rarely cooks anything. She doesn't necessarily dislike it, but I thought it would be fun to play a sim who doesn't cook often. I might make her dislike cooking in the future, though.
Pretty soon, it was Friday night, so Ashley went on a date with Don to Planet Honey Pop
They sang some karaoke together
After the date, Ashley invited Don to spend the night and they ended up woohooing. In the morning, she was feeling a bit sick.
She took a pregnancy test. It was positive.
Later, Danny stopped by to give Ashley a gift. She didn't tell him about the pregnancy. Even though they're not exclusive, she really likes Danny and wouldn't want to hurt him. Although, since it's the sims, he probably wouldn't even be upset about Ashley having someone else's baby, especially since they're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
The next day, Ashley knew she had to tell Don about her being pregnant, so she went over to his house and shared the news. He took it well. The baby is probably going to live with him once it's born because there's not room in Ashley's apartment and I don't want to renovate it or move.
Graduation day. Brigitte graduated with A+ in everything.... but it's just a fallback career. She is doing fine just... not doing anything worth mentioning, really.
Like milking cows, for example.
...What? It's a cow. It says so on the package.
I admire people who can cook to perfection with a wood stove, no proper heat control other than "winging it".
Interesting observation: I invited Ms C over for Xmas and she spent a lot of time in the bathroom actually trying to calm down. Too bad she is hard coded to always be angry...
An eclectic Xmas party. Neighbors, friends and a Major. Gotta get on her good side, you know?
Just when I was thinking about putting Eco Lifestyle back in.
Now I am having second thoughts.
@CK213 It's a NAP called We Wear Bags, and it can be repealed, but who would want to stop reusing bags in such an epic way!
Me...!!! I can't stand the bags lol
@CK213 and @Sablesasha I would repeal the NAP. I have a setting turned on that prevents NPCs from voting on NAPs. So, I don't have to pay attention to the NAPs until I want to.

Giving me some serious TS2 styled nostalgia.
Doing her cross-stitching, and then getting really angry and storming out.
And then I noticed Cassandra Goth peeking around the corner.
She runs inside and starts freaking out over a celebrity.
