The Stipe Legacy

[strangetomato]

Did you know that, once upon a time, before I even started writing a Strangetown story, I was playing a legacy? I know I mentioned this to a couple of you before, but you probably forgot all about it. I didn't even make it into the second generation yet, because I went for the "have 10 children" want and then started playing all the extended families. My founder was Michael Stipe (or a fairly failed attempt to recreate him), and he married one of my all-time favourite NPCs, Kaylynn Langerak.

Anyway, I opened up Chronic Town this evening, just to see how everyone was doing in there. I'm now thinking that I need to play these nuts a little more often. I witnessed two transitions that were completely hilarious.

Here's Kitty with her older sister, Carol. (Wow, that wallpaper is pixelated. I have to make a note to change that.)






And here's Kitty as the girl who wears a dragon suit 24-7.




As you can see, I made Michael's eyes too big, so the kids all get these intensely large eyes (I made him in CAS, and I could do so much better now, using BodyShop, but oh well...). She's a cute little thing.




Kitty spends all of her time playing with Wendell G. No, seriously... it's all she ever does. This kid is eccentric.

She has Kaylynn's nose, which has a very bumpy bridge.




It's more pronounced on men, as Peter illustrates.




Peter and Carol are twins (the second set in this family). One wants to be Captain Hero and the other wants to be a Criminal Mastermind. Peter's the "good guy".

Not to be outdone, Michael transitions into the greatest old man outfit ever...




He's Father Time.

The headmaster is not sure what to think of this family.




They get into private school with no issues.

I took a couple of screencaps for founder portraits, since I've convinced myself to pick this legacy back up. It's just a bag of fun, as you can see, so why not?




Here's our heroic founder, Michael.




... and the mother of his ten children, Kaylynn.

(Not a bad figure for ten kids. *snicker*)

So there you have it. Who knows? Maybe I'll eventually start using them for story purposes.

She does! In my story she nabs.... Daniel, Don, John Burb, Vidcund Curious, Nervous, and she procreates with General Buzz but he gets away.

Nice. I should check that out. When I'm always from my sims, I'm hoping to catch up on other people's stuff, so I'll have a look.

I'd love to play a young Olive Specter as a black widow, or even Ophelia. Maybe one day...

...Is it wrong that I totally fangirl squeed when you said you would look at it? xD I WARN YOU, IT IS BADLY WRITTEN AND EVERYTHING.

Ophelia would make a good black widow, I think. I always thought.... Erin Singles xD

Heh... I'm not THAT cool. :P I'd love to check it out. It sounds like a lot of fun. Are you playing it by the rules, or just having a laugh with it? It's a story, right?

I think about that with Ophelia sometimes. She probably worries about Olive and whether her problem was genetic. She does worry a lot.

Yeah, Erin Singles would be good too, and maybe Circe. There are lots of possible black widows in Strangetown.

Well, I started by playing by the rules, but I really liked the story ideas. So, I scrapped the rules :P OH, and, um, Kaylynn bags Frances too xD

Yeah, I could see how that would be. I love Ophelia's genetics, so it would be great to see how her children turned out if she had them via many different fathers.

Yeah, there are. The ideas are almost endless!

(P.S. You, um, sorta are that awesome. :P)
