The Xyn Household: Chpt. 1, pt 1: The Quest for a Thrall to, well, enthrall.

Good Evening. I don't drink... wine. Blah blah blah. (Bleh bleh bleh?) Welcome to the first installment of the Xyn Household campaign. Have you read the family intro? Good.

Good Evening: Xyn Household

This household began as a test run of shaklin's vampire mod -- a mod which should be used with care, IMO -- but I kinda grew attached to it. As such, it's in my custom neighborhood: Testingtown. Or otherwise known as: Oh dear godz stop pestering me you annoying player-sims! (I've grown increasingly hostile to seeing my own sims show up at another sims house, especially when the AI makes them act like douches. Even when they're well behaved, though, I get sick of their faces. In particular, the "Oh Brothel" household I made to test ACR. Honestly. Everyone wants to talk about how these people are so HAWT.)

Joker's Wylde - Meet the Wylde Legacy

This here is my first attempt at a legacy challenge, ever. I knew, from the get-go that I will make some grievous errors, but so far, I've been surprised at how addicting and fun it is. I'm playing according to these rules, with two options: Family Trait (Virtuoso), and Patriarcy.

... If you haven't figured out that this is a reference to Zakk Wylde, you need to get yourself edumacated.

Anyways, on with the story!


Generation 1: Pt. 1

Misc Families (No challenges)

So the structure of challenges can get frustrating, and I'm still a newbie anyway. Anyhow, I like to play out "what ifs" and other scenarios, obvi. I'll share some of those random adventures here as well. Some will be "cheat city" others, "cheat free". Whichever I choose, it's for testing/fun, so the killjoy act is wasted on me.

Anyhow, I'll be listing those families here, as I build up any desire to post about them.

Households:
Xyn - Created in order to test/play-with Shaklin's vampire mod.  Has gotten more involved since then.
Torrez -  First sims family since playing S1 in someone else's dorm back in college.  Is slowly taking over Desiderata Valley.

Challenge List

Challenges I'm currently working on:

Sims 2 Legacy Challenge: (Rules)
Maldicion Family- (Properly Maldición, but I wasn't even going to see what happened if I stuck an "ó" in a family name.) Modified Challenge - As I'm using mods, I decided to add a few restrictions of my own, both on how I can use them, and to add some effort as a counterpoint. More info on the family readme (when I write it).

Sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge: (Rules)
McCormick - BOTCHED ROYALLY - I broked it. Didn't keep track of some of the rules carefully enough, specifically the first set of restrictions, which means the founder has a wife and kid when he shouldn't have even moved anyone in yet. Can't really fix it, but will patch it up a little and play the family for fun.

DelMar - Just started. Made when I thought I might have not gone about the McCormicks in an ideal fashion, but didn't realize how bad I'd done.

Sims 2 Entrepreneur Challenge: (Rules)
Gadget - Toymaker Robot focused family. At least, that's the plan...

Sims 3 Legacy Challenge: (Rules)
Wylde Family- Patriarchy, Virtuoso family trait. Breakpoint - I made a potential birthday error.

What's all this about now?

For those of you who stumbled on this, and haven't been linked by me personally, this is yet another (probably soon to be ignored) blogthing. In this case, it's for my sim families/legacies & challenges.

As I am:

1. A sim challenge n00b.
2. Recently addicted to mods, which I will use (dammit). Especially mods which actually help the game function better, but some also streamline playing the game, mitigating nintendo hard elements frequently caused by stupid AI.
   
3. Not in it competitively.
   

Most of the challenges will likely have a clear breakpoint that disqualifies me somehow. I will try to call to your attention to it when it happens. And then we will move on, yes? ;)

I'll also have random stuff on other sim "families"/"stories" I work on, that have absolutely no relation to any challenge whatsoever.
