The Avalon Legacy - Updated 12/03/08 - Chapter 23
savemykissesx:
I think a lot of the Legacy stories would turn out like this one, but you do have such pretty sims, I'm totally jealous.. I don't even know how to manage townies, like how to mess with them or anything. I guess I haven't messed around with the game as much as I thought I had, haha..
Sam the T-man:
Tell you what you do. Find a good set of replacement templates - a good one that I'm using for mine is this one by terrakosmos and plop them into your Downloads folder. Grab whatever empty templates you'll need from here and follow the instructions - this'll make sure you don't get any fugly Maxis townies. Then load up your game and make your custom hood, set up your founder and, once in your lot, go into debug mode and spawn the NPC/Townie maker (will either be a tree or gun, depending which EPs you have). Using the "Make all" option from that you can generate all your townies, and they'll use your face replacements :) Or you can make your own, but it's more tedious. I find this way easier ;)
Not all legacy stories will look like this. Medagic's got one that's laid out like a proper story (A Little Confused). Mine's gonna follow a diary format :)

2B - LOL - a 'no-theme' theme is probably the best and easiest route to go. I hope you have fun with your legacy. Are you going to try to make a story out of it?
Sadie - oy! I hope you find the problem with your subhoods.
Have you had much luck with the cleaned up/empty neighborhood templates? I've been curious, but haven't tried it, yet. I've just, erm, disposed of all of the default townies and made my own. I used the debug force townie method, though, instead of spawning the maker. What is the difference between the two?
What default skin/eyes do you use in your game? I'm using Louis skin, Yumedust eyes, and Selzi face replacements. They seem to all blend together pretty well.
I look forward to meeting your founder!
Savemykisses - You need to find your own style for your legacy - it can be whatever you want it to be. I love Medagic's version because it's refreshingly different than many other legacies, but I wanted to do mine the way I did because I needed something lighthearted (because my other story is so intense sometimes).
As far as townies go - they pretty much all suck. But, there are several nice looking downtownies to choose from. Do you have Nightlife? If so, I'd be happy to point you some of my favorites.
Dagmar Bertino the mailgirl is really cute. She's a huge slob, though, lol.
If you're able to use the agesimscheat (can't remember what ep it comes with), Waylon the elderly repairman makes a very attractive adult.

I kind of wanted to do it without cheating, and i've been doing good so far. he does make an attractive adult, though. I have every expansion pack except BV, at the moment.. working on getting that one soon, too..
Astral Faery:
I don't consider using the agesimscheat as actual cheating, because you're still using a townie/npc. I've used to grow kids and teens up, too, to open up more possibilities - but everyone has their own level of comfort.
Something you may consider though, is using default skin and eye replacements - they make a big difference in the appearance of townies/downtownies.
Oh! And don't forget to scope out those Universities! Some of them have some cuties!
Good luck!
