☆Salomé's Lookbook☆
Salomé is the founder of a legacy I am working on writing! It is slow going because I am editing it as I play the generations, trying to make sure there is enough to fill a long lifespan without being impossible or frustrating. Generation 1 is complete; see below cut for how it turned out!
GENERATION 1: A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAGIC Born as the last scion to a powerful spellcasting family, you proved to be quite the “disappointment” when you were, by some twist of fate, born without magic. Rather than presenting you to the Sages for training and ascendance, your parents shunned you, providing only the most necessary of care before you finally left home as soon as you became a young adult.
You could go to the Sages yourself, but you are determined to make your own way – and prove to your parents that “true-blooded” magic is not the only magic. Instead of slinging spells, you turn to the power of crystals.

layla graves gen 3 - legacy spare spellcaster her mother's daughter (powerful), her father's daughter (unmotivated)
She and her brother may be the inheritors of two powerful spellcaster bloodlines, but who cares? Matthew plays in the dirt and Layla likes books more than people, or the outside, or anything.
matthew graves gen 3 - legacy heir spellcaster learned only one spell (repairio) and repairs everything with his hands anyway
Well-dressed outdoors enthusiast who sought to escape his occult family by spending 90% of his time in Granite Falls. No magic for Matthew, please - except then he fell in love with a werewolf. Oops.
bastian volkov-graves gen 3 - legacy spouse (matthew) werewolf son of mila münch-volkov and kristopher volkov
Scruffy young werewolf raised by two of the nicest people in existence falls in love with peevish but kind young spellcaster trying to run away from any evidence of magic in his life. It all works out, rom-com style.
arlo graves gen 4 - legacy heir werewolf (cured) lone wolf extraordinaire, until she isn't
werewolf temperaments: hates being wet, restless animal, feels outcasted, survival instincts
Growing up amongst a whole litter of wolves, Arlo was the only one who seemed to struggle with her lycanthropy - breaking away from her family, she tried to go it alone, then tried joining the Moonwood Mills Collective under the wing of her grandfather Kristopher Volkov. After unexpectedly starting a family*, though, Arlo eventually decided the only way forward was to find and take the cure.
*With Lilith Vatore, previously Münch, previously Vatore. They shouldn't have gotten along, being a vampire and a werewolf, but they started flirting with each other immediately, fell in love, woohoo'd, Lilith got pregnant.
This was all before I realized Lilith is, in fact, Arlo's great-grand-aunt (?) (Caleb Vatore is Arlo's great-grandfather). Lilith was also married to and had children with a half-cousin (?) of Arlo's (Mila Münch-Volkov was Arlo's grandmother, and Lilith was married to Mila's son Gunther.)
I love the Sims.
gen 4 spares and spouses
Matthew and Bastian had four children total, including legacy heir Arlo - and all but one of them turned out to be werewolves. Poor Matthew never had a chance of escaping the occult, especially since almost all of his children went out and found mates of their own, growing into what ended up being an entire pack in Brindleton Bay.
vash graves gen 4 - legacy spare spellcaster lonesome curmudgeon by choice. grew up surrounded by wolves and best friends with arlo. is now ready to be left alone by everyone.
wren graves gen 4 - legacy spare werewolf arlo's twin brother and a very serious nerd. was the first to encounter his fated mate. learning this existed was very exciting for him and extremely alarming to arlo.
shaw graves gen 4 - legacy spare werewolf very proud to be a werewolf; he would've married fated mate Olivia as a teen if he could.
seth villalobos-graves gen 4 - legacy spouse (wren) werewolf formerly a member of the villalobos pack in Moonwood Mills and Wren's fated mate. also, olivia's brother.
olivia villalobos-graves gen 4 - legacy spouse (shaw) werewolf formerly a member of a villalobos pack in Moonwood Mills and Shaw's fated mate. also, seth's sister.
raina graves gen 5 - legacy spare (cousin) werewolf super cute & super mean
werewolf temperaments: hungry like the wolf, prideful, night wolf, hates being wet
One of the twin daughters of Wren & Seth.
While Raina is probably the absolute cutest Sim ever born (Mila Münch was her great-grandmother and it shows), and she has reliably sweet traits (Dog Lover, Horse Lover, Outgoing) she's also super mean. Immediate hatred for heir Milo for being born half-vampire, and even after he was cured, she, unlike her cousins, never warmed up to him. Real nice, Raina.
selena graves gen 5 - legacy spare (cousin) human with werewolf blood incredibly nice and incredibly normal
One of the twin daughters of Wren & Seth.
Unlike her twin Raina, Selena was born with her werewolf blood in dormancy, and no real desire to awaken it. Being the only human in her immediate family hasn't dampened Selena's spirit at all, nor her kindness. She and her cousin Milo became besties as teenagers and have stayed that way ever since.
Selfie with Milo and Selena!
milo graves gen 5 - legacy heir vampire (cured) shy, awkward farmer building a family Oldest son of Arlo and thee Lilith Vatore (which created an awkward connection in the family tree that we Don't Discuss), Milo took the cure as soon as he was able and set off to Henford-on-Bagley. While maintaining his close relationship with his sister and cousins, he started his own family with Jane, a crystal-crafting, hedge-witch outcast in the otherwise close-knit community.
Hi everyone! I decided to write my own legacy!
This is an introductory post. You can find Season One of the challenge HERE.
I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in this legacy, but I thought I would go ahead and share it just in case. The challenge itself doesn't have one singular overarching theme. In general, I just wanted to include everything that is fun to Me Personally (while excluding things that are not fun to Me Personally) and put them in an order that would keep my interest and have a storyline that would interest me.
I also decided to chop things up into five-generation Seasons, each of which might (?) have something of a through-line theme, possibly only if you squint. As an example, the first Season starts with the scion of a powerful spellcasting dynasty - and as they and their descendants fall in love outside of spellcasting bloodlines, that dynasty crumbles into pieces, even as the family grows exponentially. The first season has Spellcasters and Werewolves as the main "theme." The upcoming second season will either have no occults or only Vampires.
I am playing this as I am writing it, which means I have just finished playing Generation 5! I made an effort to make the goals achievable with a long lifespan, but not overly frustrating or time-consuming. When a goal in a legacy becomes frustrating, my ADHD kicks in and I find myself becoming bored and losing interest very quickly. Hopefully this works for you, too - and if you decide to play it, please know you are not Bound By The Gods to complete every goal. Always have fun first!
LAST NOTE: I do have almost every pack, and since I wrote this for myself, the generation goals do pick and choose freely from many packs. You are welcome to cut out any and all goals that you can't achieve or that don't work for you. Again - always have fun first!
Please find my notes and thoughts on this Legacy Challenge HERE - it may be helpful to read that first!
Season One of the LovedaySims' Legacy Challenge has FIVE generations. Please find the first generation under the cut as an example.
Suggestions to start out:
No need to start from nothing, but try moving into a >$20,000 starter home using money your founder brought from their wealthy family. After buying the home, you should have no more than $1000 going forward.
You may want to make your founder’s parents along with your founder, since they will have the opportunity to be present in the legacy!
Whims-based gameplay is encouraged — if you’re not sure what to do next, follow your Sim’s whims!
You’ll want to play on a Long lifespan or have custom lifespans with MCCC!

Hints & Tips:
To quickly establish a negative relationship with your estranged parents off the bat, use the cheat: ModifyRelationship Sim1 Sim2 -75 LTR_Friendship_Main
Notes: For “Sim1” and “Sim2” include Sim’s full name with a space in between each name. The “-75” accounts for a moderately negative relationship; use whatever number suits you!
LOVEDAYSIMS' LEGACY CHALLENGE: SEASON ONE
graves family tree - generations 1-5
Ever since we lost the Plum Tree App, I never could find a Sims-specific family tree app/site that clicked with me the same. I'm sure there's one out there...but I also got into the habit of tracking my family trees myself in Photoshop (now, Affinity, because I lost the photoshop I got on the high seas....)
Anyway, I thought I'd share the family tree for the first 5 gens of the House of Graves, the family I've been playing as I write my Loveday Legacy Challenge. I couldn't think of how best to fill the empty space along the left before the tree spread out a little more. Maybe I'll have more ideas by the time I work on generations 6-10. ♥
When starting generation 6 of my legacy challenge, I made some bachelors and bachelorettes for my girls Thistle and Saige. ♥
saige graves gen 6 - legacy heir lovebug (incurable) hopeless romantic dedicated to love in all its forms
Saige and her twin sister Thistle moved to Ciudad Enamorada as soon as they were old enough, seeking love. There, they were set upon wildly different paths of romance, but stuck together the whole time, eventually building and raising a big family within the same household.
You could say Saige had it easy - she found the love of her life as a young adult and never looked back, thriving seemingly effortlessly well into her old age.
Você ainda faz essa cara de surpresa?
Mollie fica tão linda quando está feliz, adoro sims grávidas...
Havia feito fotos bem de perto deste momento, mas meu jogo não as salvou. Matias está muto feliz e decidiu pedir Mollie em casamento no meio da plantação de abóboras.
Não acho que fiz uma primeira postagem digna até mesmo de mim, eis que tomei a coragem de refazer está introdução ao meu 2.0 #SimsInBloom onde dando meu jeitinho surgiu a história de Rey e Maven Bloomes.
Maven Bloomes, nossa matriarca, é a irmã caçula de Rey e ambas tem apenas uma a outra. A morte do avô cerca de 3 anos atrás encerrou qualquer tipo de laço mais extenso da família e deixou duas jovens, Rey (uma jovem adulta) e Maven (ainda adolescente), sozinhas no mundo.
A casa do avô, uma residência passada já por quase 4 gerações de Bloomes não tinha mais que dois pequenos quartos e uma cozinha tão pequena que talvez só uma criança pudesse a utilizar, mas lá foi palco da vida de todos Bloomes desde sua chegada a Windenburg com nada mais que um pequeno barco, algumas redes de pesca e sementes de frutas e verduras para plantar.
Rey como uma jovem adulta e solteira busca encontrar um avassalador amor por meio de aplicativos de namoro, enquanto Maven... Bem, Maven apenas vive sua vida adolescente ao lado de seus amigos e quem sabe um dia conquiste o coração do irmão gêmeo de seu melhor amigo, Hassan.
