Hi! Long time sim player, closet story teller here.
I've been looking for a medium for storytelling and this is one of the things I'm trying out to get my foot in the door creatively. I've got some things I'd like to do down the road but for now, I'm using legacies as a low pressure way to play, experiment and share little pieces as I go.
Here are some things I'm working on:
Whole Package Legacy :
Happiness isn't found only in a partner's embrace.
You grew up well-loved by your parents, raised with care and compassion. They were the perfect couple. After watching their storybook romance grow deeper with each passing day, you start to question whether it's even possible for you to have the same thing someday.
It begins to feel daunting.
So instead of facing it, you choose to stay away from love. You might go on a date here and there, but ultimately, your fear and anxiety about having a partner keeps you single for the majority of your life.
Though you never wanted for a partner, you still adore children. You've always wanted to be a parent. The idea of giving a young Sim a home, full of love for the rest of their life... Outings and holidays - memories made as a family... The thought makes your heart swell. You want to be that for someone.
And whoever said you needed a partner to have kids?
You say to hell with societal norms, and adopt four children throughout your life. You parent them alone. Even though it’s just you, they have all of the love they could ever ask for. You create lasting memories together. They are happy. You are happy. Your family is picture perfect.
You are a super parent and even though you've never had a romantic interest, you still feel that your life is completely full of love.
... Until you hit elderhood, that is.
Caught by surprise, you meet someone with whom you instantly connect. You've both lived your own lives, complete with individual experiences and lessons learned. And now, you find yourself completely and utterly in love, inexplicably and unexpectedly.
You live out the rest of your days with your newfound soulmate and knit adorable creations for your grandkids.
Thats the end of The Whimsy Legacy Generation 1, folks!
*I wrapped it up pretty quick and fairly early. I was getting bored with it, honestly. I've started this legacy so many times! Next gen I will definitely try to slow it down and document more.*
