I am starting this legacy with Dia Constar. She was the Gen 5 heir from a previous failed legacy attempt. She came from a long family of aliens. I decided to use Dia for this challenge as I wanted to figure out a way to revive the Constar family. She also had traits that were really close to the those needed for this challenge. I think I changed one of them but that was it.
Generation One Rules
You live a full, fun, wild life in the city, running from one event
to the next and trying to experience everything you can. You don’t want
to waste your days on doing the same thing over and over again, but the
fact is your lifestyle requires quite a bit of money and you’re in need
of a job… Becoming a mixologist gives you the best of both worlds; you
make money to live your life the way you want, but you’re not missing
out on the action either. In your old age, you finally meet the love of
your life, someone you wouldn’t mind settling down with… especially if
they’re willing to go out and try new things with you sometimes.
- Aspirations: City Native, Master Mixologist, Soulmate
- Traits: Cheerful, Dance Machine, Outgoing
- Skills: Comedy, Dancing, Mixology, Singing
- Satisfaction Reward Traits: Carefree, Connections, Never Weary, Observant
- Collections: City Posters, MySims Trophies, Snowglobes
- World: San Myshuno
- Extra task: Make your sim have at least one child with someone as a adult, but don’t marry them. The child must live with your sim.
- Optional: Save up enough money to move into and renovate a penthouse.
The Constar family also had a long history of having Shepard/Husky mixes. In fact the family dogs were also part of their own legacy as they could all be traced back to Sirius from Gen 1. Therefore, I had bring along Dia's dog Vulpecula. He is named after a constellation and the name means little fox.
Dia and Vulpecula moved into an apartment in the Spice District of San Myshuno. I am not sure if it is because I brought Dia over from a different legacy or if was because we were starting in an apartment but she seemed to have more money than I am used to. I spent most of it on the kitchen so for now she is sleeping in a sleeping bag on the bedroom floor.
Sunday
Dia and Vulpecula set out to explore the city.
Dia went around looking for posters and snow globes as she needs to complete those collections as part of the challenge.
She found three posters and three snow globes.
Dia has the Dance Machine trait, so she can't help from busting a move as soon as she hears music playing.
The City Native Aspiration, has ordering from three food stalls as one of the goals. Dia got something to eat and introduced herself to a few of the locals.
Vulpecula was feeling lonely, so Dia took him for a quick jog before heading home.
When Dia got home she ran into Arun and Jesminder Bheeda in the hallway. Jesminder is also pursuing a career as a mixologist.
I downloaded updated versions of all the families that come with the game/packs. Most of them were by either Simmaddness or ObsidianLilith on the gallery. I can't remember which one this version of the Bheeda family is from but I think they are a big improvement over the original version.
After going inside her apartment, Dia spent some time mixing drinks and reached level 2 in the mixology skill.
Then it is time to turn in for the night.
Monday
Dia woke up on Monday with a sore back from sleeping on the floor.
She also has bills that she can't afford to pay. Fortunately, Dia has work today.
With Dia at work, nothing happens the rest of the day until she returns with a promotion to Dishwasher.
The Humor and Hijinks festival was in the city, so Dia headed to the Art District. She ordered something to eat and introduced herself to the food vendor.
She then joined the Jokesters.
Purchased a snow globe for her collection.
Watched a comedy routine before attempting one of her own.
Dia introduces herself to some other mixologists that were working at the festival.
Dia created a club called the Cocktail Hour and invited Valeria and Joel to join. I will have to remember to invite Jesminder as well, since she is also a mixologist.
The jokesters won! Dia received a comedy mic, fireworks, and $500.
She sold the microphone and set off the fireworks before heading home and going to bed.
Tuesday
On Tuesday, Dia got up and spent time with Vulpecula.
She then made breakfast and reached cooking level 3 before heading off to work.
Dia brought home $128 dollars and came home in a mental fog. Apparently she starting to feel burnout on her SECOND day of work. Good grief!!!
Dia spent some time playing with Vulpecula. I also find playing with my dogs relaxing after a stressful day of work.
She took Vulpecula for a long walk around the city.
And somehow managed to get stuck inside a picnic table. I had to reset her as she literally couldn't move. Gotta love the sims!
Wednesday
On Wednesday, Dia slept in until just before she needed to head to work. Therefore, I don't have any photos from Wednesday morning. The good news is that she came home with a promotion to Caterer.
The bad news is she is now officially suffering from burnout.
Jesminder called and invited us out to a bar/bowling ally in Windenburg. I figured a fun night out was just what Dia needed and said yes. I also downloaded that lot from the gallery but can't remember who created it.
Dia ordered a drink from the bar, met Caleb Vatore, and bowled a few frames with Jesminder.
Somehow we unlocked the visit 25 lots achievement. That must be a glitch of some kind but I guess I'll take it. It is not like I won't earn it at some point anyway.
Caleb followed Dia home, uninvited, and proceeds to make bar drinks.
Which he just left on the bar.
He then decided to scold Vulpecula before leaving. At least he didn't try to drink from Dia.
Thursday
On Thursday, Dia gets up and did some cooking. I think she needed to make meals as part of the requirements for her job.
Then she went outside with Vulpecula and lectured him for rolling in puddles. I can't remember if the puddle was from rain or his pee.
I hope it was rain because a few minutes later, Dia had to lecture Vulpecula for drinking from the puddle.
Yesminder called and asked to hangout. Dia has a few hours before work, so she said yes and invited Yesminder over.
The two spend some time visiting. I think Dia asks her about expanding the family. Then it is time for Dia to go to work.
Dia brought home $208.
And went straight to bed. I think she is currently working 5 to 11 pm.
Friday
Vulpecula woke Dia up early. She lectured him about waking her up.
Since she was already up, Dia went out looking for snow globes and posters.
There are no words!!! Only in San Myshuno!
Dia spends the whole morning with Vulpecula. They roughhoused, she brushed him, they went for a jog, etc.
Vulpecula learned not to drink from puddles.
Dia unlocked the introvert achievement as she had not socialized with anyone since Jesminder the day before. I guess they don't count socializing with dogs.
Dia came home with a promotion to Mixologist.
But she still has a terrible mental fog.
I had been counting her having Saturday off to relax and work on her aspiration but with the promotion she now works on Saturday. I decided to have her take a vacation day.
Saturday
On Saturday morning, Dia gave Vulpecula a bath.
Jesminder stopped by for a visit and Dia gave her a key to the apartment. I rarely do that as I find it kind of annoying but it is a requirement for the City Native aspiration.
With the day off, Dia traveled to the Fashion District. She ordered from a food stall and greeted the vendor. First aspiration milestone complete!
I know the Romance Festival is coming up, so while we wait Dia sand some karaoke and went for a jog. Fortunately, she didn't get stuck in a table this time.
When the festival started, Dia invites Jesminder and the rest of the Cocktail Hour club to join her. They spent some time dancing. Dia was really busting out the moves.
For a minute, I thought I spotted Masato bartending because I spotted the paw print hair. If you haven't read chapter one of My Simself Name Game Challenge, Masato was a librarian that invited himself for a stay over and would talk to my simself none-stop anytime she was painting.
But it turns out this is Kenichi Ono.
Dia spent time hanging out with Joel. They flirted, had a slow dance, and shared a first kiss.
Then something unusual happened. The Romance Guru walked up to Dia (with no prompting from me) and stated, "Your romantic destiny is bleak." That is actually VERY fitting since Gen 1 isn't supposed to get married until they become an elder.
Early Sunday Morning
It is after 1 am when Dia got home from the festival. She had picked a UFO fruit at the festival which I also found fitting as Dia is an alien. She planted it in her apartment and sold the roses.
Dia spent some time with Vulpecula.
And then the pair turned in for the night. Hopefully next time Dia can finally get a real bed.
