Gustavsson Legacy II

If there had been any doubt whether Ingolf Peterson was the right man, I was fully convinced after seeing his PJ.

It is amazing how well his pyjamas fit Marja´s favorite color scheme!

Marja learned to life with his criminal tendencies.

Since time is really an issue in a Legacy, she became pregnant quickly. She never had much time to gain many body points, so the pregnancy was really tough. She basically spent it in the Bermuda Triangle of bed, fridge and toilet, either throwing up or needing to pee. This was the worst pregnancy I ever had in game.



Warning: Gore below.

Short before birth, Marja and Ingolf had a quiet marriage. There was neither time nor energy for a fancier party.

And then Anders Gustavsson was born.

Ingolf is a very loving father. Ah, cute men and babies :-)

Then Marja got pregnant again. With twins!! The first twins in my game. I was delighted.

The twin boys were born. And all hell broke loose.

I don´t know exactly when it happened, but Marja got ill. Really ill. Just a day before, I had put a mod in the game which caused the illnesses to be more severe. Looking back, it was not a good idea.

She coughed ... and coughed ... and coughed. She did not get better for days. Ah, and Ingolf was ill, too. There they were, one toddler and two babies, and both parents ill. Marja was so sick she thought of death.

And I was really worried my Legacy would come to a sudden end. Panic!!

For some reason, I either forgot to take screenshots, or the internal screenshot program was acting up. So I do not have many pictures.

Just one of the twins getting really scared by an evil toy:

I used one moment when Ingolf was not close to fainting to rush him to Robertson´s Robot Manufacture to get another Servo. She is responsible for the survival of my Legacy. Both parents were tied to the bed, Ingolf improved rather quickly, but most of the twins childhood Marja was really ill. Sad!

Anders is an interesting little guy. Playing chess and fishing with his father at the local Fish & Swim Community Park. Marja is still in bed coughing.

Finally, Marja and Ingolf make it to the top of their careers.

During the party of Anders growing up into a teenager. Subtitle: Things with wings :-)

Doing the Smustle.

Last shot of Anders before he goes to college. Totally love the outfit!

The twins wave Anders goodbye, and the family enjoys some winter fun.

Marja and Ingolf are still madly in love with each other, while the twins serioulsy lack table manners.

Then Marja´s big day comes. Sniff! She is the first Sim I ever let age. An interesting experience. Of course, they throw a big party. It is also the day the twins grow up. A triple birthday.

Smustling in the shower is always the best! To the left is Loic Inward, son of Ontario and Alice Reeves. Watch out for him, he becomes a real cutie!

Marja ages up quite beautifully.

Again no pictures of the teenage twins. Don´t ask me why. You will meet them again in college.

Next: Anders Gustavsson goes to college!

Gustavsson Legacy

I decided to do a Legacy, well knowing I would probably not last long, but at least I made it to generation 2 so far!

Here is Marja Gustavsson, the Legacy founder.

These beautifully clashing clothes were picked by the CAS, and I totally fell in love with this color combo. Marja loves color, mainly pinks, reds and oranges. I rolled the dice for aspiration etc., she is a Taurus and Knowledge Sim.

The Legacy home ... well, not much money left after the first few walls are up and the basic furniture has been bought.

At least the bedding is red and the oven orange :-) It is a start. Go, Marja, go!

First lunch. No wallpaper, but hail! Marja looks slightly underwhelmed.

One of her wishes is to become a gamer, and as luck has it, there is a job in the gaming career available, yeah!

The first bookshelf. Still no wallpaper, and no lamps. It gets a bit depressing.

She meets a few people, but no townies pass by, until .... (drumroll): Mr. Potential Legacy Husband No. 1!

Oh well, I guess you can´t ask for much ... Marja likes his 70s training suit, but they just don´t hit it off. Too bad, or maybe not :-)

She tries to entertain herself by catching fireflies and going to a nightclub to gain creativity skillpoints. She is also badly in need of some money, probably because it is her free day.

Of course she drops the headphones and puts on some silly music ... these are probably the longest teeth I have ever seen :-) Ignore the goofy DJ in the background.

Then some halfway decently looking townie shows up. Go, Marja, go! But she is toooooo sloooooow ... drops the headphones AGAIN, and before she even has a chance to speak with him, he leaves! Oh no, Marja, failure! We could have afforded some plastic surgery for him later!

She goes home to some more firefly catching and penguin watching (ignore the season).

Digging for treasure also proves to be rather futile.

Money really becomes an issue now. But then Mr. Big calls and invites her to Downtown, Angel John Hunter and his devilish friend Aniel Cabron in tow.

The conversation is a little tenacious, but hey, what can you expect from a man who wears that kind of jacket? ;P

She has made friends with John, but he is not a townie ... too sad, they would have made a lovely couple, but I did not want to break the rules THAT early.

They go back to her place, Marja cooks, and then ... ACR kicks in. Well, wait a minute, what are you guys doing over there?

Could you please stop that?

 

Hey, that was supposed to be MY date!! I am getting older every day, I am broke, I don´t even have wallpapers!! But there is no chance to stop John and Mr. Big from hugging and kissing. Well, that was that. Three dollars left.

 

 
But next day brings a promotion, thanks God, and she can afford a new bed and a little radio, as well as some chairs and a table.  She brings Ontario home from work. They don´t really like each other, but she needs friends. He is not a townie, though, and also married. The biological clock is ticking!

Umm, Marja, no! Not the paper boy!

And then ... and then ... a townie passing by! Named Ingolf Peterson. Lisa Ramirez, freshly divorced, gets sent home quickly. I do not want a repetition of that Mr. Big/John Hunter-ACR-disaster again. Get that woman off your thoughts, quickly!

Marja chats, Marja cooks. Marja suggests a date, Marja flirts, and Bingo!

They only share one bolt, so I am quite impressed how quickly things went. Impressed and pleased :-) Until ... the nearly fatal slow dance. Marja never practiced dancing, so she steps on Ingolf´s toes. Ouch!

She manages to iron out her mistake by a tactical question about Ingolf´s wishes and his career.

Oh, great, a criminal. Just what Mommy and Daddy wished for her. Well, when the biological clock is ticking, you can´t be that picky. On the plus side, he has been around town for quite a while, and has amassed a large amount of money by breaking other people´s homes. 18.445 §, to be exact. Wow, Marja hit the jackpot! Wallpapers, here I come!

She doesn´t hesitate a second and asks him to move in. And spends his hard earned money to buy ... wallpapers. In pink. Of course. And windows. And everything else this bare home so badly missed all these months. She feels just a little guilty.

Stay tuned for another episode of the Gustavsson Legacy tomorrow!!
