The Gorey Legacy Part 1

doronjosimaIn cleaning out my screenshot folders, I came across this little guy. As I cheat massively when playing the Rosales-Varmas and also am an easily bored individual, I decided to attempt the Legacy Challenge properly. (Though I will probably be wonky on the points keeping system, since I am still new to that whole aspect.) Thus, the Gorey Legacy was born!
The theme for this Legacy is gothy-ness and general pretension, thus the naming convention for all the sims will be that all names will be taken from Edward Gorey's works. It will take place in Veronaville, because I like Shakespeare, and I am attempting to do this legacy without cheats. (My global hacks and mods are still being used though, since I can't live without them.) Also, I was unaware when I made my founder that there was a playable in-game sim with the last name of Gorey in the University expansion- I never play the actual pre-made Sims, so I'd never noticed her. Oops! Please also pardon my earlier, shinier skin defaults- I started this legacy before I switched to my nicer custom skins.
Anyway, meet the founder!
Friedrich Gorey:
Aspiration: Knowledge
Lifetime Want: Become Media Magnate
Sign: Aquarius (the best sign to be!)
Neat: 4
Outgoing: 4
Active: 4
Playful: 7
Nice: 6
Turn-ons: Makeup and black hair; Turn-off: old people
He's starting off in college at SimState and is a Philosophy major.
Friedrich does all the average stuff upon entering his dorm. He eats burnt pancakes.
He's shocked by literature. (And by the dormies. He wasn't attracted to a single one!)
Realizing his destiny as a legacy founder, he went down to the quad to scope the babes.
Friedrich: Excuse me, I do not "scope babes". I am a sensitive philosopher! I appreciate the natural beauty of the fairer sex.
Ooookay then... did I mention this legacy will have some pretension in it? Cause Friedrich here has it in spades.
Friedrich plays pool.
This is good, because he looks damn fine doing it. Best way to attract a girl!
Friedrich was instantly attracted to this woman, I guess because her dress is decorated with dead babies. Oh you goths!
She was unimpressed by His Royal Pastiness.
There's no accounting for taste though, since she was much more interested in the guy with the Moe Howard haircut.
Undeterred, Friedrich moved on to the nextpiece of meat baby factory girl, and had a rousing discussion of kinky sex practices. As he's a virgin, I think he's lying about his experiences.
The student center was a bust, scoping-wise, so he moved on to the next venue. This pretty bartender had an interesting choice in hairstyles.
None of the girls Friedrich was attracted to had either of his turn-ons. I don't understand!
But at least this girl liked him!
The next day, our hero woke up sad, because he had no one to love. He probably wrote a poem about it.
He made excellent faces while playing himself at chess.
And of course, he did his assignments. He's an excellent knowledge sim!
Or, maybe not. Despair!
The girl he liked from the night before was invited over. Friedrich was very pleased!
He was less pleased when he discovered she was interested in one of his dorm-mates. Better luck next time, Friedrich! (I'm sure he wrote another poem.)
Once classes and assignments were done, off he went to find love again. *sigh* Friedrich, you know Dead Baby Dress Girl does not like you, give it up!
This girl despised him on sight. She hates goths!
This young lady seemed promising!
Until it was discovered that she is a gold digger. As a legacy founder, Friedrich is quite poor.
Unable to find love, he sat and contemplated his fate. I don't understand why the ladies don't like you either, Friedrich, you must just be too pretty for them.
What luck! A girl happened by outside the dorm, and Friedrich was instantly smitten!
She wandered by again the next day, so Friedrich jumped at the chance to ask her out.
Fortunately, she said yes! And thus, Friedrich had his first date with one Naenae Jeffress.
There was some flirting.
And despite her completely un-gothy appearance, Friedrich couldn't keep his eyes off her.
The date continued at the local burger bar.
The conversation was fascinating!
By the end of the meal, Friedrich was confident enough to blow Naenae a kiss.
And more kissing happened back home at the dorm!
Despite how this looks, they were a remarkably chaste couple, and only kissed.
Naenae ditched her Barbie-pink outfit in favor of something a little more stylish. Baby steps, my dear, baby steps. Already Friedrich is exerting some influence.
The next day, after classes, more kissing occurred.
Including the special makeout time! And, Friedrich performed a lovely serenade on the front sidewalk.
Forget the poems of Byron, Shelley or Keats, a pillow fight is the best way to a woman's heart!
Though, you probably don't want to break her neck!
Or maybe you do! Naenae is a bit of a masochist, I think. She had a wonderful time.
And finally, there is a girl who appreciates Friedrich's beauty.
It must be love!
Of course, being a guy, Friedrich doesn't catch on until she decides to go home.
The next day, our hero wakes up surprisingly happy for a goth. But he's in love!
After classes, assignments and a nap, Naenae comes over and is mauled by love.
Another date ensues, at their favorite restaurant.
Naenae: I don't want to have sex until I know this relationship is serious!
Friedrich: Well, my lady fair, then I have a surprise for you!
.... "my lady fair"? Dude, you're a goth, not a Renfair performer.
Naenae was thrilled and immediately said yes.
Hamburgers taste better when they are seasoned with love.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: Did you people just decide to get married?! I'M OUTRAGED! SUCH PERVERSION!
Friedrich: .....help....
Mrs. C: TAKE THAT, YOU PERVO!
Naenae just walked away.... nice.
Since they were punished before they even got to do anything even remotely naughty, I sent them to woohoo in the photo booth. IN YOUR FACE, CRUMPLEBOTTOM!
Of course, public woohoo and an engagement pushed the date over the edge into Dream Date mode.
Friedrich: Hey, guess what?! I'm not a virgin anymore!
Random Dormie: I'm glad for you.
I can't help it, I don't care that he's fishbelly white, I think he's very cute.
Friedrich apparently agrees with me!
He despised this particular dormie.
But apparently, was able to put aside his differences long enough to shower with him. Huh?!
There's a novel place to do your college assignment.
Thus, the end of this introductory chapter begins. Will Friedrich and Naenae make it through college before I get completely bored of the whole affair? Will they have the required mess of legacy children? Will I even get time to play the Sims? Who knows!
