Oh wow! We're one yesterday!
One year ago, Barbie and Ken were just starting out their (very short) lives together, and now, four and a half generations later, the family looks completely different.
So, where have we been?
Well, we've had wicked witches, people rising from the dead, teenage pregnancies, a marriage on the rocks, a science facility disaster, weather and seasons, fairies, witches (good ones), vampires, genies, ghosts, love at first sight, murder, drunken nights, fist fights, tantrums, tears, smiles, laughter, paparazzi, a borked save, a broken laptop cable and a shiny 'new' PC.
We've been through a lot in one year, but this legacy isn't even halfway yet, so...
What can we expect next?
Well, obviously I've rolled for generation five already, I think we all know who the heir is, if not... Uhm... Let's leave it as a surprise? I still have quite a bit to get through this generation, though. The chapters will get longer, as I want to end the generation at or around 50 chapters (which is way too much, but can't be helped - any new readers, there are summaries up until chapter 4.25 on the 'Mattell family history' tab on the sidebar) unfortunately, this may mean updates slow down a bit (they already have, which I'm deeply sorry for. Real life getting in the way/health stuffs/blah). I do aim to go back to two chapters a week, but I am still working ten hours overtime a week, so until that dries up I'm just aiming for one a week.
Well, enough of me rambling! Enjoy your present! Thank you to all who have been reading my truely random random legacy (I really do make it up as I go along most of the time), you've made this challenge a hundred times more fun than if I'd just played it (though I'd probably have finished or given up by now), and I hope I can keep you all entertained for another year :)
Happy birthday! Thanks for the poses!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! It's ok, pretty useless as they're so posey, but... Why not? I couldn't share Kaity, I love her too much so those'll have to do.
DeleteHappy birthday to the Mattells! :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you! Can't believe it's been a year already! Definately my longest running family ever...
DeleteCongratulations :) Happy Birthday Mattells ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you! Still not sunk in that I've really been doing this a whole year! :O How have I not given up?!
DeleteHappy happy happy!
ReplyDeleteBirthday birthday birthday!
Deletelol :p
Happy birthday Mattells! And happy 1 year of blogging about the same family, pretty amazing! :) Cute pose too. If I ever get to a year, I'll learn how to use poses and download yours for the group shot. (perhaps even before that! gasp!)
ReplyDeleteBelated thank you! ;)
DeleteYes, I'm pretty shocked myself! I did get to 6 generations in sims 2 before, but I'm pushing 5 here and it's the longest I've stuck with a sims 3 family for sure! Shows how much blogging keep you engaged!
Poses are eeeeeeasy!! Go on Mod the Sims and search for the pose player, and all you need to know is on there! I have a whole site of far more useful poses, by the way. Ones for photos like this are pretty pointless in my opinion, but I decided I couldn't give Kaity away just yet so this had to do ;)
