A Legacie Tale: Chapter 2.2

Hello again to all. Unfortunate as it is, my simming time is drastically limited due to mass amounts of schoolwork. However, I couldn't focus on reading tonight, so I decided now was a good time for a little update! So, here we go.

When we left off, there was another photo of Liam on his knee looking ridiculous. Was he proposing again, or was I recycling photos to create suspense?

No, no. He was certainly proposing again. Do they have an "impulsive" trait in the list? Because I think Liam secretly has acquired said trait.

Who was the proposee? Well, we all know Liam is no master of suspense....

Lynda: Oh my god, I love it! It's SO perfect!

Liam: R-Really? It's the same ring I --

Lynda: Oh, kiss me you fool!

Being lame as I am, they got married immediately. I promise in the future I'll do better, with waiting between engagement and marriage, and wedding parties, and all that jazz.

Allow me to introduce to the Legacie family:

Lynda Legacie
Maid Spouse #2
Wants to live in the lap of luxury.... (hmm..)
Absent-minded - Flirty - Brave - Neat - Kleptomaniac

Now hangon a sec. Another klepto? Are all you maids kleptos?!

Lynda: Huh, what? Who's that?

Are you all kleptomaniacs? You maids?

Lynda: I don't... understand... who's talking?
Avoid the question, much?

While everyone else in the family went off to school or work, Lynda stayed at home and basically did nothing. No rush to start a career when all you wanna do is "live in the lap of luxury".

Aanndd here's the latest addition to our parade of maids. We go through maids like none other.
......obviously this is due to the fact that we keep getting married to them. I promise this is not going to be an ongoing thing with this family.

Lynda: I don't know who you are, but you have an awfully lot against us maids!

Well, I just wish Liam had been more creative in spousal selection. And then there's this added discovery that you're all secret kleptos. Have you all been stealing our belongings when I'm not looking?!

You know, I think I like Lynda a lot more than Lana. Lana is the first founder of a legacy I've had that I didn't really care for. Usually I LOVE my founders (those were all in The Sims 2, though), but I dunno. Anyhow, I REALLY like Lynda, and she's game generated (other than the custom makeover).

Lynda: Can you please stop obsessing over me and leave me to my computer games? Creep.

Liam received a promotion. Not a big shocker, seeing as he desires to do nothing but work all the time.

Liam: Desk Jockey really isn't anything to be proud of, voice.

Yes, but remember how much you freaked out and cried about your pathetic Snitch position? And how long did that last?

Liam: Oh, stop.

Lynda here desired a position in the Ghost Hunting profession. Not quite sure why... but we did it anyway! She's officially a Tarot Card Reader, and I have to say she looks like quite the badass fighting off those spirits. Who cleans houses when you're this cool?

Anyhow, things went on as per usual in the Legacie abode for awhile. Nothing too exciting. These people aren't exactly the life of the party...

Liam and his Wifey spent their time skillbuilding. Not exactly igniting the romantic furnace, but what do you expect with a workaholic?

Liam: It is vital to my promotion that I gain knowledge in the field of Logic and Reasoning. Neither logic nor reasoning is involved in romantic encounters. Lynda and I are just fine here playing chess.

Which is why Lynda is wearing her finest lingerie to the chess table.

Lynda: Will you be quiet?! You have no idea how difficult it is to seduce this man!

Liam: Lynda?

Lynda: What?! I didn't say --

Liam: It's your move.

Lynda: Oh... *sigh*

While the newlyweds face their first marital issues related to Liam's work obsession, Lana continues to rapidly produce magnificent paintings, which is all she ever does. Ever. Oh, she does work once in a blue moon.

And the "twins" continued spending an inordinate amount of time together.

Natalie: Oh, we get attention now?

Caden: Just ignore it, Nat. It'll disappear soon enough.

Natalie: *sigh* I wouldn't have married a maid...

While on the job, I slowly realized why Lynda desired such a strange position. A position that required her to be in stranger's homes, in the dead of night....while they were sleeping.

She wanted to steal all their belongings!

Lynda: Will you keep it down?!

Nobody else can hear me, dear.

Lynda: Thank God. You have to be discreet about these sorts of things!

I'm sure you do.

--------------
It was at this point that
1) I realized I had deleted the Science Lab in Sunset Valley where Lynda needed to sell her spirits
2) I got sick of my game crashing and deleting mass amounts of gameplay
3) I got to the point where the game would crash any time I tried to send Lynda home from work

and therefore,

1) I moved the Legacie family to Bridgeport, in order to have the Clubs and Bars in regular locations and have a Science Lab to sell spirits to
2) I deleted absolutely all of my Custom Content, and then re-supplied myself with Custom Content.

So the Legacie abode now resides in Bridgeport. Same size lot, across from the school.

Onward!
--------------------

Home in Bridgeport (same house, just copied it and placed it here).

I'm not sure if it was all the new Custom Content, the new town, or the fact that there was a hot new lady in the house, but Lana decided that, as a almost-dead woman, she needed a makeover. And I have to say, she looks slightly less witch-like!

Lana: WHAT'S THAT?!

Nothing.....

I also had to give Lynda a makeover, losing all the CC and all. Lost her hairdo permanently, which I really liked =[ oh well, life goes on.

What's this?! Lynda, did you finally get Liam away from his career and into his bed?

Lynda: It's the first night in the house. I'm sure it's nothing to get used to...
Aww, try not to be negative! He means well, he means well.

And he really did mean well. Maybe it was the Bridgeport air, but Liam started actually doing things besides working! Such as..... butterfly hunting?

Everybody applaud!

Finally, Lana was permitted to retire and more on to full-time painting. I realized that she could paint like 4 masterpieces in the time that she was at work and make three times the money, so she called up her boss and that was it!

Lynda hasn't said anything to Liam, but just look at his expression.
Heads up Lynda -- He knows!!

Liam: Lynda, are you --

Lynda: Well, this is a legacy, is it not?

Liam: That better not interfere with my work!

We decided to splurge and buy the Undesirables some musical instruments. They immediately rolled up Lifetime Wishes of the musical variety.

Natalie: Psst. Caden, it's back!

Caden: Just ignore it. It will go away. Again.

While the two Musical Undesirables were playing away on their instruments, the two Married Blondies were at a battle of the wits!

And, as always, our founder stood around painting the days of her life away.

But then --

Lana began to levitate! I told you those sparkling hands weren't a good sign!

Lana: Finally!

Wait a minute... no. No, Lana. Grady lived much longer as an elder. Who is going to make us lots of money painting multiple masterpieces per day?! The Legacie's aren't prepared for this!
