Legacy superlatives tag game

hello babes I found this really old tag game that was being passed around simblr like almost 10 years ago and I thought it was funky and fun. I brought it back for the legacy girls. I'm tagging some folks who've got a few generations under their belt, so: @beebeesiims @simsandgiggles @natolesims @bearphase @akitasimblr but if you see this n u wanna participate please feel free to!! <3 I will be answering for Nova and Lucky bc they're both done as of October 2024.

Favourite heirs

Nova: HONESTLY I think my 9th generation heiress has officially dethroned Musica from gen. 2, like I genuinely feel like I went out with a bang.

Lucky: I love Iain from gen. 5 okay he's been through a lot. I put old boy through a victorian death trap of a story and he still made it out flaws and all.

more below...

Favourite spouses

Nova: this is really hard but I think it's Neveah from gen. 6 by @lizillasimming. I had genuinely so much fun with her and she even got her own solo adventure like hello? mother

Lucky: OOHHH this is really hard but I love Chen Ruiyang from gen. 4 mainly because he had the most fleshed out story between Magnolia and his generation and also bc he's hot like. yes daddy.

Favourite spares

Nova: hmm I guess I'll hand it to Crow from gen. 3 bc he appeared as a side character in the Luckys too! but then again Soma from gen. 8 is about to be in another save, so it's up in the air.

Lucky: Sara from gen. 3 thank u bye! actually, I loved Ibrahim too; gen 3 kids were just built different

Favorite side characters, if you do story-oriented saves (skip if not)

Nova: ok this save was really inconsistent with story lmfao but I'll hand it to ... idk Lim Shiyeon from gen. 3? she was not a good person but she gave us Delilah at least so.

Lucky: of COURSE it's miss Khadijah Daniel from gen. 3! she ran Finn's office like a naval commander. but I also have to give an honourable mention to Jiang Yuqi from gen. 4 because she's mother.

Mishaps during your legacy

Nova: let's discuss Salem from gen. 7 dying in a glitched out fire that the firefighters refused to save him from!!! damn!!! that shit pissed me off so bad bro

Lucky: umm it's obviously Shaw from gen. 7 fucking DYING BEFORE HIS GENERATION COULD EVEN START OMFGG.....like are u kidding me dawg!!! i had PLANS FOR U!!!!!

fuck man, 7th generations of my legacies are bad omens...

Largest number of children

Nova: oh let's talk about how Jericho and Day-Day from gen. 1 had four kids: TWO sets of twins in a row?!! i actually quit this save for the first time because of that AJDSIOFDSKF

Lucky: Franklin and Bayram from gen. 2 had three, and that's not even counting all their dependent animals. six chickens, two cows, and a llama! and one Sister Elisabeth.

Any surprises

Nova: that I even FINISHED THIS SAVE AT ALL. lmfao. I abandoned it like 3 times dude! but I'm nothing if not stubborn. and also that I ended up really loving my final 9th generation. I can't wait to post that one.

Lucky: that I pulled out all the stops for the story portion of gen. 6? tbh that was the most story for TS4 i'd ever worked on, and it was hard, I won't lie. but rewarding. and I'm terribly satisfied with the results.

Favorite family pet why this is question so low smh.

Nova: aw now come on, it has to be my baby Tango from gen. 4. a little stray that went up to Delilah to ask for a home...and she took him in...I love u Tango...

Lucky: now can this go to anybody but Cake Boss from gen. 4? the immortal dog so iconic she also appeared in TWO Nova generations? like hello?

[bastardtrait]

[bastardtrait]

fuck it nova legacy globetrotter, we're ending this bitch on a FUN note instead of a stupid stinky baby note

(diamond was made by the one n only @simsandgiggles approximately 7 billion years ago back when i started this save flfmadoasdo)

[bastardtrait]

bastardtrait cinematic universe

or the btcu if you will, but if you'd rather not i understand.

spending any amount of time on my silly little blog will tell you that most if not all of my saves exist in the same world, across TS4 and TS3. it's a lot to keep track of so I made a couple helpful illustrative guides to help understand it better if you are ever lost or are just curious, OR are just here to gawk at whatever might be going on in my little rat brain.

if you care, there are spoilers in all of these links, otherwise, meh.

The family tree, or rather, the family forest that currently contains the Lucky, Nova, Scooter and Park legacies, and the one-off Hartley and Menace of Sunset Valley saves.

this one is a beast to navigate. to access specific lineages, click on these people...

Hartley/Goth/Mistake: Iain Lucky-Angelo Hartley

Nova: Fiona Reed Lucky-Cassie Nova

Scooter: Destiny Dinh-Briana Scooter

Park: Percy Scooter-Sebastian Park - this section is still WIP because this save was from fuckin 2019

The timeline in date format, to help understand roughly when stuff happens. I wouldn't pay much attention to the dates as eras in time, but rather they're just there to help illustrate the passage of time and age differences between partners or contemporary legacy heirs. this is entirely because I am Not Good at illustrating the passage of time in my stories lmfao.

The timeline in block format, because the list format has dates and numbers and such but it isn't very illustrative.

you'll notice the Sandwich.TV save and Faygo legacy aren't represented anywhere but the block format timeline and that's because 1) i hate them so much 2) they're hard to fit in. i'm still working on it.

anyway hope you enjoyed this peek into my cranium.

cassie nova has been released from the dungeon and would like to tell you about how i overhauled my reshade preset to look all soft and dreamy and shit but most importantly preserves and highlights her skin colour*

i say this bc the first reshade preset i made washed the ever loving shit out of every sim's skin 💀 and i really went and posted a whole generation of a legacy like that 💀

[bastardtrait]

relationship with male sims ended. women are now my best friends.
