The Sims 2 | "Nehru" Legacy Challenge (Reader Participation Welcome)

[Civ'ed]

Interesting!

I'd say either Akbar (hey, you have Sargon, why not Akbar? ) for the boy and if it's a girl I second Marrian.

I was thinking of early Roman-themed names, hence Tarquin(us Superbus) and (the Rape of the) Sabine(s).

Names that fit that theme and are better than Sabine:

*Nona
*Decima
*Morta (She's the Roman Grim Reaper, and her name means 'Death')
*Alecto
*Megaera
*Tisiphone

e.t.c.

 

[Arakhor]

The last three are the Greek Furies and the last thing you want to be calling a woman is a Fury!

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Genghis if boy, Xena if girl.

If Romulus and Remus had been born girls, I'd planned to call them Clothos and Atropos, after the Fates.

Excellent name suggestions this round: I'm going to keep some of them in mind for generation four, as well.

Nona and Decima are the Latin versions of Clothos and Atropos.

 

[Arakhor]

You'd have left out Lachesis - she's the one with the measuring rod, so you never mess with her.

 

[Skwink]

Julius, or Augustus if boys.

I purportedly chose the two that would be easiest to remember how to spell.

Nehru Legacy 3.0

Behold! A man-child....named Alexandros.

Sargon has an A+.

Water is water is water. Is water.

See? If you hadn't added the lemon, he'd never know the difference.

The first of many.

Noelle actually has a higher position than her old one because she's been skilling faster than she's been receiving promotions Now that Tatiana has tested out that modeling career, on to more respectable endeavors.

Alexandros is now waddling and looking toward the east with an odd look in his eyes...

I am surprised it took them this long. Those two are like jackrabbits.

Tatiana is very keen on painting for some reason.

Kaiser's successes continue apace.

I don't think she needs any help, lady, but...okay, sure.

"Can you say 'Unactivated Giant Death Robot' Say it for daddy!"

Sleeping arrangements tend to vary in this house. Tatiana sleeps in her bed, consistently, but she's the only person who reliably sleeps in one place. Kaiser and Alexandros seem to gravitate toward Hiero's tent in the backyard.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the last rung in the ladder or not, but there are no job requirements for the next level. She also only works on weekends.

Alexandros as a child will demonstrate a fondness for music, cooking, and Iranian food.

So soon?! And another boy...

More to come.

"Augustus for boy, Octavia for girl,"I was thinking. And yet I typed this in, and didn't realize it until I'd hit enter. I can use a cheatcode in-game to change his name, though a change to Augustus would be MOST appropriate only if he's chosen as heir.

...that sounds interesting. Sure.

This is ALSO not an entry-level position.

Grim was waiting for her when she got out of the car from work!

"Go! To the Mausoleum!"

We can't all die with a Platinum aspiration, I suppose.

...again? Two potential heirs is quite enough.

Tatiana makes a good aunt.

Yup, same career. It took Kaiser a day longer, though.

...that approach didn't work for Romulus, Sargon. I don't think it's going to work for you.

...boy, is HE blonde.

...and out comes a third!

Actually, it might have been more appropriate for Gustavus here to have been blonde...

...family dinner, with Octavius (Augustus) wandering around randomly. He'd sit down behind a chair, get up, find another chair to sit behind...

Oh, hi, Chris.

That used to be one of the statues in her back pocket. I think she recognizes it.

This generation is going by quickly enough!

...

Please don't posess your daughter, Hiero. It's uncouth.

Sargon finds the prospect of ghosts wandering about pleasing.

...keeping the family apprised of his own plans for world domination.

So glad I kept her living in the house regardless of the rules.

More to come.

I've a question, how are you getting those info boxes telling how many kids your gonna have and all that?

Nehru Legacy 3.0 -- Continued

The Nehrus have well over 200K now, so I figured I'd spend some of it on a back door, which I then supplemented with a patio.

....excellent! I think we have another little Sargon on our hands.

....Kaiser and Noelle christen the new tub.

Maxis' careers veer toward the goofy much of the time.

Since she likes painting so much, this will be her final career.

Sargon has discovered pick-up lines that DO work.

...I tend to think of Octavius as "the little Aryan boy". I just realized this tonight, but in my usual neighborhoods, there are virtually no blonde people. Most Sims in my Pleasantview, for instance, have medium to dark skin, with brown or black hair. Octavius' sheer... blondness sticks out.

Attaboy! Which shall it be next -- the police, or the military?

An Italian gangster? What will they think of next, a French wine snob?

Kaching!

Sargon is proving to be a ladies' man.

Look who just got old! Tatiana AND Gustavus!

...what are you glaring at, Sargon?

...oh. An impending game crash.


---------------

Fortunately I didn't lose much. Gustavus is still a baby, and Octavius a toddler, but that could have been worse. I save frequently in Pleasantview because it is large, old, and prone to crashes and freezes, but in Riverblossom Hills I tend to go LONG periods without saving.

Next time, we'll get the boys into their adolescence.

There's a mod called the Autonomous Casual Romance mod, which allows Sims to choose romantic interactions of their own free will -- including woo-hoo and such. One of the more helpful tools the mod provides is the 'ACR Adjuster', which is a small object that appears when I click on a sim (Adjust....Spawn Adjuster). The adjuster lets me set pregnancy rates, autonomy level, and how likely Sims are to accept romantic proposals from strangers and such. It also lets me turn off Jealousy, which is a must on university lots where everyone is sleeping with everyone.

And there's also the very helpful "Pregnancy....Pregnancy Scanner", which tells me who on a given lot is pregnant, who knocked them up, how many babies they're expecting, and when they will give birth.

 

[ZeletDude]

Sounds great will download it most likely,
anyway great story so far!

Why no Fuher yet? Seems appropritate, following Kaiser.

Fuhrer translates to 'driver' (as in Fuhrerschein, 'driver's license') or leader. I've not heard of it being used a proper name, and given the....Unfortunate Implications, I would prefer to avoid it.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Let's go with Military Career Track. A proper leader must have such knowledge.

Technically it would have been Kanzler, seeing as there was this little period called the Weimar Republic. Führer would have kicked up a racket.

Nehru Legacy 3.1

*grumble* "The LAST time he built the patio, one of the KIDS did this. How'd I get picked this time? A pox on game crashes!"

I have had good luck with the sporks in the past.

Fired? But you'd been promoted to Restaurateur before the game crashed...

Gustavus grew up in a tuxedo this time.

Since you've been fired as a cook TWICE, how about I let you pursue your lifetime want of being a professional entertainer?

Both of these sims went to sleep following extended skilling sessions under my whip.

....(Kaiser's a SWAT team leader now.) And yes, they just did it in Tatiana's bed. I framed that abstract portrait of Will Wright, by the way, because it could have sold for $666.

Not having played any Tom Clancy or other swat-related games, I choose smokescreens at random.

....excellent.

Tatiana is old again. But this time I made her buy clothes so she wouldn't wander around in Chris' old schoolgirl skirts.

Alas, you don't get to see him in his superhero bodysuit. It's very similar to Hancock's, though.

On to new conquests..

This kid is a little scary. At midnight, he started studying a skill...and seven hours later, he'd maxed it out!

Sargon's off to college, where he meets Romulus. Romulus is very happy to see someone, because he's been hanging out in limbo ever since moving out of the house.

...annnd he's out! He majored in political science.

I figure on playing Sargon a bit, so he builds a home for himself right next door to mom.

Obviously a gentleman pirate.

Secret Agent Man...

...this would be Noelle.

More to come.
