Midnight Sun 1.1

This is possibly the hardest challenge I've done.  I feel like it gets the closest to pinstar's Legacy Challenge from sims 2, basically because I've never started with so little money since.  Then there's the fact that you have no space.   I'm trying to get my mom to do this challenge with me. It's only five generations which isn't too bad, except I don't have any space!
Found here http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=442322

I'm not sticking with the scenario given in the post because it doesn't make sense that I can fly where ever I want, BUT I'm stranded on an island.
_______________________________________________________________
 So here's what I remember. My name is Jace McDermott. I was on a party cruise ship. We were destined for somewhere warm.  Where? I'm not sure; I was slightly too drunk to remember.  That's probably why I can't remember how I made it to the life boat, how long I drifted to reach this island, or how I managed to not dehydrate on the way here.  It befuddles me on all accounts.

 There's nothing to the beach except an old toilet, a hot refrigerator, and a sleeping bag. And I hope the owner doesn't come back for them because right now its all I have.


Right away I think of food.  Maybe its my massive hangover. Maybe I haven't eaten in days. Either way I need food. And I need it now.  At least I'm on an island right?  I fashion a fishing pole out of drift wood and seaweed.  My scout instructor would be so proud!  It will work until I can find something more suitable.
(pretty damn good fishing pole crafted from drift wood and seaweed!- snort)

 In the distance I see land.  It's by far too far to swim but my life boat isn't too badly gone. It may be salvageable.  After days of working on it, the boat can stay in the water without sinking, even under my weight!  My scout instructor is beaming!  I push off on half a days journey.   I finally make dock in a small tributary in a lush foreign land.

The few locals I met are complete A-holes.  I've decided I don't want to stay long, and I sure don't want to come back.  
 So I spend my time collecting fruits to compliment my fish. They will make a nice addition to my garden.   I also invest in some piping, supplies for a good fishing pole, and a tent.

 I find my way back to my boat to find out the hole has started leaking.  It's an easy fix but means I have to stay in this terrible place longer.

I spend time like a local at the Phoenix Martial Arts Academy.  Just me, myself, and Jace 2.0, the little me in my head.  I like to think that he's always pushing me forward, but sometimes he's just an ass.  Awe, look at the tough Jace get beat by a some sticks! He's always been my worse critic.  Such a sissy hit!


But that's okay, I soon show him who's boss.



While I'm busy fighting with  my inner "cheer squad," I can't help but notice the cutie next to me catching my eye.  And there's something about a girl that can break a board with her hands that just screams HOT!

What's great is she's coming towards me.

Differences in the family tree Challenge

I think it's pretty obvious, but I like challenges. I currently have four on going right now, and I pretty much play all of them regularly. Except the family man challenge, truthfully. But that's still three challenges to play! I found this one tonight. And although I don't think I'll find myself doing it, I like the different scenarios its gives you. But it's a little too structured for my liken. With that being said, I'll probably try it one day. Or incorporate some of it into a random legacy. Either way, I wanna keep following this, especially after they update it for supernatural!. Check it out here: http://angelofafallen.livejournal.com/818.html?thread=3378

Nothing is Free Update

I've been terrible at writing a story for these guys. I really just play. Which is nice, but I miss the writing. I have a story that plays in my head.  It's just the whole writing it down thing. So lets recap!

In the end generation one had two families, the Woodgate's and the Tanti's

The Woodgate's are my main family they wound up having three children. The oldest and heir is Graham and one set of twins Aaron and Lauren.
The Tanti's had a daughter who married Aaron. Abigail and Aaron have had three kids so far.

Lauren married some kid from high school, and they had two kids. She promptly went into labor with her first after this was taken.

Graham is married to his imaginary friend, Patches, they have three kids so far and she pregnant with another.  They also have a live in simbot (which MAY be cheating) and the oldest kids imaginary friend.  I'm trying to find out if imaginary friends can pass their gene's on.  So I may be incorporating the perfect genes into this. 

I have four houses in game (other than mine). Two houses have family and two houses FINALLY got townies.  After I fixed story progression to allow them to move in!

I have 11 business : Junk Yard, Grave Yard, Bistro, Library, School, Bookstore, Grocery Store, Salon, City hall, Police department, and spa

My humble beginnings.  The only thing you cant see is the 3x3 bathroom.

The oldest's imaginary friend.  Sneaking around while doing laundry...


 This generation I want: Equestrian Center, Big Park, and the Hospital. Big Park might change to Science lab depending on funds.
