Nehru Legacy 3.1 -- Continued

"I have absorbed your Logic."

...again, scary.

I tired of people wandering around the yard to stare at the plasma screen hanging in midair, so I found a place to stick it.

I stopped him from finishing those two off because children should not know that much.

....and now he's all grown up and entitled to know it all.

...I think the kid wants to see her get hit by falling gelato.

Tatiana has had an interesting journey. A model for half of her adult years and then a scientist in varying fields, she'll spend her long elder days as a master artist.

Apparantly the only difference between Noelle and burgulars is the hat.

...one of Kaiser's career rewards.

Tatiana has...gobs of money at this point, but I tell her to do a sketch because paying bills lacks drama.

Clearly napkins are not the best medum. Try using the tablecloth next time.

Gustavus is now a teen! I like his genes.

....that statue is starting to get creepy.

"So.....boring..."

Sims LOVE running themselves ragged on the exercise machine. Romulus starved himself to death on it, Alexandros has passed out, and Tatiana and Kaiser are obsessed by it.

A god? This should pay more.

I like to imagine that Kaiser is doing all these jobs at ONCE. He's a superhero who uses a space station as his secret base/evil lair.

Kaiser's boys prefer the older women.

Closer and closer...

A lifetime of woohoo, books, and the internet don't compare to the simple joy of scaring your son when he's having a pee.

It's time for Alexandros to go to college, and his little brothers aren't too far behind him. All have impressive skill sets, and their aspirations cover Family, Fortune, and Knowledge. Alexandros is oldest, and I like Gustavus' genes and Augustus' brains, but still I don't know --

Who shall be heir?

 

[W|M]

Make it Alexandros!

 

[Omega124]

Augustus! Brians over apperance any day of the week, and twice on Sundays!

 

[ZeletDude]

Gustavus

 

[W|M]

Simple brains will get Augustus nowhere if he doesn't have the charm he needs to get the female needed to continue the line!

X-Post.

X-Post.

At the rate he's going, he can invent himself a heir with just bricks and duct tape.

 

[W|M]

But the artificial Heir wouldn't have the biological necessities needed to continue the line!

 

[ZeletDude]

Obviously the one with the best genes need to do it as the blood line needs to remain strong and untainted by lower beings

 

[W|M]

And Alexandros has the best genes!

 

[Smellincoffee]

In that last post I wrote that "Alexandros is heir" when I meant "Alexandros is oldest".

As far as artificial lovin' goes, they do have that inactive Servo...

 

[ZeletDude]

And Alexandros has the best genes!

Well it's certainly not that Augustus he looks weird. xD

 

[Skwink]

Kaiser.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I'll have to support Gustavus.

 

[Civ'ed]

Gustavus

The calling has become too strong and I am reinstalling the game as we speak. The only add-on I have is academy, but I was wondering what other add-ons or mods you are using for the legacy ?
A quick list of must-have downloads would be much appreciated.

Keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Cheers,

I have all of the expansions (University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Freetime, Bon Voyage, and Apartment Life), though the best of the bunch is arguably Seasons. I also have a few stuff packs: Family Fun, H&M Fashion, Teen Style, and Ikea.

Most of my downloads come from Mod the Sims 2 in terms of clothes and objects, but I also use a few hacks from various places:
- the aforementioned Autonomous Casual Romance mod
- the same sex pregnancy hack
- the college adjuster, which allows me to hurry Sims through university if I don't want to spend a lot of time there. (It does a LOT of things: it lets me assign random skills to Sims that have none, gives Sims electronic toys like cellphones, and so on...) I haven't been able to find this one in a Google search, though. :-/
- I have some hack that allows for romantic interactions between teens and young adults because I tired of Sims at university not being able to date their old flames who hadn't aged up yet. ACR may have enabled this, I'm not sure...

Simbology has a lot of hacks.

 

[Arakhor]

Gaius Octavius!

Nehru Legacy 3.2
With a two-vote lead, Generation Three will be manned by.....Gustavus! Alexandros and Octavius move away to college to be freshmen forever.

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

Yes, Kaiser, you are the man.

Gustavus, like his brothers, prefers the older women. (This one is named Erin, by the way. You'll see her again.)

Kaiser switched to Law, by the way. I figure he's a decent sort of fellow who will try to help the helpless, so....take out those evil hoteliers!

...most boring take-down ever. You could have at least held the hotel manager from the top of the roof and threatened to drop him. :-/

And Noelle finally gets her lifetime want!

....obviously Octavius didn't get all the brains in the family.

Aw, Kaiser's old now. I'd hoped he'd be able to take on the Politics career, but it looks like the Law is his last job. It's been a great ride, though.

Hiero LOVES being dead. It's the greatest time he's ever had.

Third time's the charm, eh Noelle?

...apparantly some intern wrote up THAT job description for Maxis.

Noelle is old, too -- not that age is going to slow her and Kaiser down.

Some of Kaiser's portraits, all three done by Tatiana.

Stick with the older gals, Gustavus. You're too hip for the youngsters.

Gumbo sounds good.

...no gumbo? Rats.

Congratulations -- and oh, hey, look. You can Walk to Work. Do so.

...wha?! Two in a row?

Clearly Noelle is out to OWN the culinary profession this go-round.

I've never actually done this one before. I figure if he makes him legal, people will start throwing thunderstorms on their neighbors.

...eh, could've been worse.

More to come!

...I think that's the last of the chance card spam.

Omelettes: now with extra tryptophan!

Gustavus wants to be a cop when he grows up, just like dad.

...and Gustavus is off to college, where his principle occupation will be making family friends and looking for a mate.

He's most attracted to Debbie, the easy maid here, but he's also obsessed with Erin -- the girl with the black cap whom he met last update.

I want him to marry Debbie, and he wants to marry Erin. That want of his keeps rolling up again and again.

Fine. He'll marry both.


...I have a plan.

Time flies.

Is it that bad? Really?

This is the Legacy home in full, by the way. I created that little rise JUST to make a scenic background for wedding shots.

While Gustavus is at college, the old folks stay at home and do....very little. Kaiser and Noelle woohoo a lot, and Tatiana paints.

...and look who's moving in!

...she wants to be a game designer.

...and look who ELSE is moving in.

The Harem, ladies and gentlemen.

Now, how is Gustavus going to be married to two women at once? Well, you'll see. It doesn't involve a two-marriage hack, I can tell you that much.

Your dad used smoke grenades, so those are SO last century. Try a flashbang.

...excellent!


More to come.

She must be doing some SERIOUS gold-farming.

Gasp! Easy Debbie is pregnant. (By Gustavus, naturally.) Gus and the two women don't actually go to bed often: I have to poke them with a stick to do it, unlike Kaiser and Noelle -- those two STILL jump each other's bones once a day, with no input from me. That's how they got pregnant with Gustavus in the first place!

...time to put my plan into action, because Easy Debbie is not yet at present a Nehru. That needs to be rectified.

... Farewell, Tatiana. You were always my favorite.

Her memory lives on, though...in all the portraits she did.

Like these, of world leaders...

...and her religious symbols...

...and my favorite, the Audrey collection.

I shall intern you in a place of honor, with your parents -- with a portrait for memory's sake.

... wait a second.

Hiero's POT is gone!

I search everywhere and do not see it. I check their memories, but it's never been taken by the repo-man in lieu of bill payment...it's just vanished.

Well, if anyone asks....we put him in a new pot.

:-/ Poor Hiero. I hope no one is doing anything devious with him.

Erin, dear, it's time for you to die.

...don't worry, you'll respawn. It's just like WoW, but different.

*whistles*

How would you like it? Fire is too risky, drowning would flood the entire floor....no satellite crash, that'd put a hole in the roof. How 'bout disease?

Don't look so glum, Easy Debbie. This is your ticket to Nehru-ness.

....um, hate to burst your bubble here, but your wife is dead.

"So I'll get a new one!" and thus Easy Debbie becomes Debbie Nehru.

Gus, I need you to...do something strange.

The Paranormal career has a unique reward object.

...

Now Erin and Debbie are both Nehrus and are fit to give birth to Gus' babies.

...and since I have no interest in you becoming a cult leader, let's pursue another lifetime want, shall we?

Generation 4 is officially on!

...crap! Too quick! I usually save when she goes into labor, before the kid actually comes out.

I thought about naming her Tatiana or Anastasia, but Marion was requested by a couple of people.

-----------
I don't expect the Harem to have a lot of babies: I'd prefer they just had one each, really. That may turn out to be the case, since none of them are enthusiastic about bedding the other. That's rather odd, but I suspect it has something to do with the house being crowded -- ACR has the Sims restrain themselves once they're old (usually), so when they decide to woohoo they practice safe sex. In the case of Gus, Erin, and Easy Debbie, they always choose "safe" woohoo when they decide to do it at all. Maybe I'll have to wait for Kaiser and Noelle to travel on before Gus becomes interested in popping out lots of heirs.
