Comments! *jumps excitedly* I'm so happy you like it. Astral - Thanks! Not my self sim, I look nothing like her! Wish I did though :lol: I would give anything to have straight hair... *sigh* luckynmbrsleven - Thank you! I'm hoping I can maintain inerest, since I have a tendency to be bored very quickly! By the way it's spelt legacies. Sorry (spell-freak) Thanks again, guys. I am going to my Dad's house for two days and he has no internet -dies- so might be a while before I get the second chapter up... we'll see.

Simmers' Paradise / Sims Stories / Suddenly Simmerised - The Simons Legacy - UPDATED: Chapter SEVEN!
|

This is my first sim story that I've shared, so be nice! I'm nervous... I started with something simple; a legacy. The idea is mostly stolen (with permission) from Dese's contest 'Sims World', for those of you who are unfamiliar, it's when a real person gets stuck in the sims world, and this is what happens to Kit Simons, the founder, a slightly neurotic, vain, materialistic, oceanophobic, slightly insecure, overly dramatic female.
The legacy rules might be bent slightly later on, because I really can't stand Maxis furniture for too long!
Ok so here goes...ChaptersChapter One - down below Chapter TwoChapter ThreeChapter FourChapter Five: Part I, Part IIChapter SixChapter Seven------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter One: Salt Water Does Not Agree With MeSomething wasn't right. This didn't feel like my pillow, my bed, and where were the blankets? In fact now that I thought about it, with my eyes still tightly shut, I wasn't even inside. Was I sleep walking again? No, I could hear the ocean. That was weird, I lived no where near the ocean, because I had an extreme dislike of it (well, that's how I describe my fear) I opened my eyes to slits, getting a very blurry view of the scenery, a very, very wrong scenery. Where the heck was I? But something nagged at me - it felt like I'd been here before. So, I opened my eyes further, to get a good look at it, and was smacked in the face with that gag-worthy briny ocean scent. I was definitely by the sea. Crap. The familiar feeling didn't go away, and the nagging increased. There was something- some essential fact sitting just below the surface of my conscious mind - some missing key to my situation, but I couldn't figure out what.Panic growing, I surveyed the empty land. Everything looked strangely cartoonised, surreal, yet so friggin' familiar... And that's when it it hit me... "I- I'm stuck in The Sims??!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" It was the only explanation. I knew this place only too well, because I had played on it before! Why me?! "This is so wrong..." My sim-self was disappointing. I wasn't even skinny, and I still had the same straggly, boring hair, which was now frizzy from the breeze. Great. And what was I wearing? Something from the Martha Stewart shopping channel? (Is there one of those?) Yes, this was definitely wrong. Before I had a chance to even consider shopping, I was accosted by some overly friendly 'neighbours', if that's what you can call sims living in close proximity. They asked my name, and at least that was correct, Kit Simons. Then one sim-man with a really red face decided to play a little prank on me. Suffice to say, I didn't find it very funny. Even though it was warm, I did not appreciate being soaked. Obviously courtesy means nothing to these people (or should I say pixels?) The female came to introduce herself as Natalia. She was pretty and skinny. I disliked her immediately. There was another guy called Benjiman, who had a massive nose. None of them particularly inspired any hope in me about their intelligence. I was apalled to discover I only had a pitiful 4,500 simoleans in my possession in order to build a shelter, and of course, get a new wardrobe. In the end I could only afford one outfit, for goodness' sake! It was like living in poverty... I had to improvise on the whole shelter thing too... After purchasing the all-essential wardrobe, mirror and a bathroom, there wasn't much left for anything else. After all my hard work, I decided I needed comfort food, in the form of delicious, sugary doughnuts. They are very theraputic for a stressed woman like me. It's not everyday that you discover you're trapped in a pixel world. Once I changed into my new clothes I felt a bit better, more like myself. I didn't know what to do with my hair, so I left it for now. And, reluctantly, I decided to look for a job, in the newspaper which was so handy for my sims. Besides, being dirt poor wasn't fun. What happened to motherlode? Turns out I can't cheat! What fun is that?! I have to become a millionaire the old fashioned way... After a long and difficult day, I retired to my cheap and uncomfortable bed, and fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow, barely having time to wonder how to make friends with pixels, and *sob* if I was ever going to get out of here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits Title Picture Photo Editing Tools: Photoshop 7.0 and Photoscape v.3.2 - it's free and what I use the majority of the time for quick and easy frames and lighting.

Thank you Astral! I think, after weighing up the pros and cons, I might do a combination of both situations, so the 'sim god' - as I refer to my external force - appears at certain points but most of the time it's free reign. I'm already starting, because I'm so bored.

I've really wanted to start a story for ages now and have tons of ideas flying around in my head, but it's a big thing to commit to. So I thought I'd start with something simple, completely rip off the idea from the 'Sims World' contest by Dee (where a real person becomes stuck in the sims world), so the founder is from our world and is forced to comply to legacy rules. Maybe this has been done before, I have no idea. But does it sound good? Also, I tend to get bored quickly... and would have to throw in random deaths and plot twists to keep me interested :lol: Edit: Also, would it make it more interesting if the sim had free will or was controlled by some external force?

You don't need to welcome me, I'm actually Squirt! I just changed my name because it's the one I use with everything else. :-P I should probably put that in my signature...
Don't worry about slowing down! We're patient. Right guys? The wait just makes it that much more exciting when there's a new chapter, as I can see by SimKween's reaction lol. So... no pressure. :lol:

Can't believe I nearly missed the update! That was pretty quick *applauds*. You are amazing, shooting the chapter from scratch, I certainly wouldn't have the patience! :-P It was great to get some back story on Shirra and Ileeya's ancestors. You have me really worried about Tim! How are they going to get Shirra? And what about the evil magic spawn (aka Tim's baby?) I'm on the edge of my seat here..! :lol: P.S. incase it isn't conveyed through text those were rhetorical questions.

That sucks! I'm sorry too! You're handling is better than I would, my PC would be in little pieces by now, :chainsaw: even if it was my fault :lol: That would make me feel better, but then I'd have no computer... Hmm. Maybe I'll rethink this plan... We are (mostly) patient people, right? I'm hoping for them to be recovered *crosses fingers*. And be understanding.. :happy8: You could always post it without pics if you don't want to take them again..? Either way, I don't mind.
