Round Robin Legacy - Introducing Nyssa Lioncourt's new life

[strangetomato]

The poll has been closed and Nyssa won by a landslide! Thank you to everyone who voted for her, because I couldn't be happier to have her for my stretch of The Round Robin Legacy. Now, for a little glimpse at her new look...







Just setting things up here.




Nyssa Lioncourt...

She appears mysteriously in Sim City one day, and claims to have come from another planet. Moving forward, and trying to forget her tragic past, she immerses herself in the nightlife scene, and will eventually become a proffessional party guest, but is that where her story will end, or is it just the beginning?

(Yeah, I checked to see what her LTW might be in my game, but I thought that "become a proffessional party guest" was more interesting than "woohoo with 20 sims." I'm sure she'll have her share of lovers, but the career plays into a better story for me, so I went with that.










She's very pretty for someone without a nose.

And my fears about the cc skin clashing with my overall Maxis-match style seem to have been exaggerated. With the right cc, she blends in pretty well, aside from the slightly more defined nose and upper lip. (Though my SO was like, "What the hell is on her face? What's up with the maple leaf?" *snicker* What is this? Canadian propaganda? We can't have that...) My main concern was the lips, which were easily converted to my own style with lipstick, so all is well.

I've also decided that her story will take place about a generation into the same world as Strangetown, Here We Come, so it will provide a number of little hints about that too. ;)

Isn't she, though?

I'm terrible for skimming things like that too. I do recommend this legacy, though. It's been a combo of story and commentary so far (50/50, to be exact), but it's fun to see the same line carried through different players/creaters with different styles.

Oooh, really? Well, that might be a good thing. ;)

Thanks. I don't know if I have a choice, since laridian seems to be a harsh taskmistress when it comes to rules, but almost every generation has bent them in some way so far, so I think I have a little wiggle room. I'm going to try to be true to the rules as much as I can for the gameplay, but I might go off on a couple of tangents for the story.

psssssst, if you don't tell laridian you're bending the rules, she'll never find out! :D *giggles maniacally*

*snicker* Oh, you....

I'm definitely going with the "ask forgiveness, not permission" angle here. But, at the same time, I think it would be fun to technically follow the rules too, and just see how far I can go within them.

I didn't bend any rules! I don't think... well okay, I gave them career rewards to use from careers no one had, but I think that was it. ^_^

Heheh... the career reward thing is definitely bending the rules, but I was thinking of your custom townies. I think that was technically against the rules, wasn't it? Not that I'm complaining... (and was Emery even an unaltered face template? She looked different.)

But Madame did the same, and Laridian even started the thing with 2 CAS sims, which is also the same thing, so it seems like I could probably get away with at least batch creating some townies.

I don't see anything wrong with a little rule breaking. :) It's not like we're playing for points here.

Emery was actually a clone of an old Sim of mine that I used when I was creating that group of townies, just for the heck of it. She is altered, but probably not a whole lot. And honestly, the only reason I created those townies was for background diversity, I didn't have any preconceived intentions of Armand falling for one of them, it just happened that way when I had him scope the room and then let them interact. Suddenly all his wants were spinning for her. Except the ones that were spinning for Christy. :)

I don't see anything wrong with using created townies, unless the rules state that townies have to be Eaxis generated (like in the GUCCI challenge).
