I Got The Sims 2 Baaaack! =)

[Cassie]

I don't know why I'm making a thread, but w/e.

Well, last weekend I restored The Sims 2 onto my computer after you know what happened (if you don't, basically I was enjoying a full-of-awesome legacy I'd been working on for several months, and I was on generation 7, longest ever for me, and then the game went and crashed itself so I could no longer play, to put a long story short-ish). I know it was kind of a stupid thing to do considering how close TS3 is lurking now, but what's life without a few stupid actions?
Sooo... I'm starting a new legacy, I'm challenging myself to see if I can get to generation 8 and beat my previous record before I lost the game. I have to do it before TS3, obviously. Gah, it's intense. {rolleyes} I keep estimating how long it takes per generation to grow, but it thoroughly depends on how many kids you have going on, and money etc etc, each generation is different, so it's hard to guess, but I'm going to try at least. =]

Obviously I deleted my downloads because I thought I was rid of TS2 for good, so I had to restart the game with so little CC, it's been...hard. Very hard. But, I'm adding bits and pieces each day and it's gradually getting easier.

Some random piccies;

Generation One

My founderess Ginny:




Ginny and her son Nathan (the nose he has, you can't see very clearly here, but it's pretty bad. You'll see a copy of it later. I can explain, it was a genetic experiment... I would normally never allow a Sim of mine possess a nose such as that):




Ginny's daughter turning down some groveling dude:




Generation Two

So I chose Nathan as the legacy continuer. He inherited my 'experiment' and I wanted to follow it through. This is him and his pregnant wife. I can't tell whether he's loving the baby or the Robot in this pic though.




They had just a daughter...




... and she SO inherited the experiment! I HAD to take a snappy of it! Obviously she's an adult in this picture but it had to be graced here.




Generation Three

As their daughter (Bailey) was their only child she had to be my legacy continuer. So here's her kids!

Aly & Harry Pott- I mean, her brother Dexter in the bg, and Bailey their mummy of course;




Cable (idk why I chose that..) & a girl friend (it's the only picture I have of him that contains his face);




Okay... so Bailey (it is Bailey, just a diff haircut) just recently had a baby in this picture, so her needs were a little... low. She was hungry. So I made her serve some omelettes for everyone. And.. she died. Of hunger. Seriously, who dies of hunger when food is like, there, right next to you, on the table?!
Needless to say, she got brought back to life.




Oh and this is little Aly and her grandpappy Nathan, who you may remember was my nasal experiment. Just thought it was cute.




And that's where I am up to right now! Generation three in one week! Oh and Aly and Cable are NATURAL twins! I was so thrilled, because I rarely get natural twins! =]

Sorry for this whole random post anyhoo. It just feels strangely nice, to play the game again after all these months. I'll try to post pictures that are more interesting in the future, as this was mostly just showing you the Sims in the legacy so far.

I have evil plans for generation numero cuatro x]
