I Don't Play the Sims 3 (A Legacy) *Update: 10/28/2016*
Welcome to I Don't Play The Sims 3 (A Legacy)! My name is Lulu, and as you might guess by the title, I don't usually play The Sims 3. I've extensively played both 2 and 4, but never liked the look of 3.
But now that I have access to it, the expansions, and a bunch of cool store stuff, I figure, why not? And the best way to give a Sims game a run is with a Legacy, of course! For score keeping... there won't be any. I'm not playing for points or by any real rules except the traditional 'don't cheat' 'build a family' 'repeat x10' ones.

I'm glad there's someone else out there who isn't that great at TS3 - I'm the same! I'm enjoying your legacy, too - I didn't know that the only way to cure the frog potion was with a special kiss!

Thanks, Sam! I think you can use magic or a cure potion, but I didn't have either available to me! A kiss was the only way to go.

You can fence in the garden to prevent deer and zombies from eating it, just make sure it's got a locked gate too or the zombies will get in. I found that out earlier when they tried to eat my garden through a locked fence gate, then they route fail on me. Hehe. Nice start so far.

Oh, thanks, Ani-Mei!
I'd thought about a fence, but I didn't think about locking the gate. Maybe I'll have zombies back someday!

The witch gnome comes from going in the Haunted House. And also maybe harvesting pumpkins? There's a page on the wiki about how to get them all. I love the gnomes, I might start a family with the aim of collecting them all.lumasong wrote:I don't actually know where any of the gnomes are coming from! I can kinda see the Butternut ones as being spring gnomes and maybe got them from hunting eggs or the garden or something, but what did I do to get a witch gnome? No idea!]
Anyway, chapter 1.5:

I may start updating more frequently. I'm further ahead than I thought I would be.

Just want to say that you've got an awesome legacy going on! It's a very enjoyable read, and I hope you keep at it, despite not playing TS3 usually.

Hey there!
I've mostly been a silent reader for a while now (I'm still figuring out Boolprop here ) but I wanted to comment and commend you for trying this with the Sims 3!
Overall, I'm an avid Sims 3 player to the point where I feel I know every nook and cranny of the game and glitch fixing... and all of the goods. It's both hilarious and incredibly fun to read about someone's "first" encounters with aspects of the game I've grown very used to. I'm absolutely hooked. I love your sense of humor and you've got such great wit! I also double commend you for handling all the children that you did. That was honestly the most amazing thing I'd seen. The first time I ever played the Sims 3 (I remember it fondly) I only had one Sim and I remember I was so surprised when she aged up to Adult before I had even gotten her a job (as I was just cheating and messing around to figure out how to even play). Needless to say, you're doing much better than I did when I first started the Sims 3 and I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading and I find your story really fun and a great read all around!
Also, I'm quite glad Jillian is the heir. She's really adorable.
