Will eventually also branch out to my other families, as well.Maohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543452559450188noreply@blogger.comBlogger191100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11560196.post-1135481660759767002005-12-24T22:30:00.000-05:002005-12-24T22:38:28.066-05:00

Um, wow. To say its 'been awhile' would be, well, inappropriate... as its been a LONG while.To sum it up; I started college, my computer went up in blue smoke, I got a new PC made specifically to run the sims 2 on max everything... but I also lost everything prior. Which, well, sucks. But I DID finish that Legacy... so that's all that matters. The Zamora house eventually became a vampire HQ. It

Unfortunately for Isidora, her misery didn't end with Kevin's death. She went to care for Reyes only to be spooked by Novio's ghost. Meanwhile, Reyes reflected on his father's death. Well, at least that's what it looks like. Can toddlers reflect?"Life... death... what does it all mean?"There was a good side to all this tragedy; Isidora was now husbandless... which meant she could now be true to

Using her Romance wiles, Isidora had no trouble tricking her former lover Kevin into moving in and becoming her fiancée. Time was of the essence, and she really didn't have much to pick from. Sure, he had a horrid personality... but at least he wasn't disfigured!"You're NOT wearing that to the wedding."Catalina welcomed Kevin into the family by kicking his butt mercilessly at SSX.

...when life is kicking your butt with endless events, and it isn't even through yet! As you can see, I took my hiatus before posting the updates. My sincere apologies. It was out of my hands. Updates will continue to be sporadic, but at least they'll exist, hopefully. I won't be home any weekends, so that makes it difficult...Oh well, on with the update. It is rather long, as I want to finish

I've been entirely too busy with life's issues to play The Sims 2 or even think about blogging! How sad is that? I'm almost finished with the Zamora's legacy, so I'll get those up as soon as I can find some time. After that, I'll be taking a small hiatus until I get everything under control... phew!Just ignore the keep reading link, there's nothing more to this post.

Don't you just hate it when real life issues interfere with sims 2/internet time? ;) After this update, I'll be at the point where I installed University. Finally, whew! I can't believe it's been over a month.Anyway... on with the update.Apparently the bumbling burglar from days long past decided that he was once again, going to try his luck at ransacking Zamora Manor.

After what seems like forever, Lucio becomes a child and immediately begins discussing engagement with his grandpa. Even I haven't picked him out a wife yet! Slow down there, little man."Do you think I can get engaged to a zebra?"Turning into a child in Zamora instantly warrants a visit from the Headmaster. He's more than happy to accept little Lucio into his Academy. These people already have a

This update starts off with Gisela confronting Consort. I just love aggressive sims. Instead of running and crying, she got up in his face. That'll teach him to come storming into her house and poking at her!"You feelin' lucky, punk?"After getting a much needed make-over, Connor was ready for wedlock. Once again... no fancy wedding. They got married in the kitchen. I know, I'm awful, but it's a

Last time, Gisela became not only a teenager, but a Romance sim. She netted her first kiss in less than two days with some guy she managed to bring home from school. She's a quick worker, that one."My lips are over HERE!"Romance sim or not, she still needed a husband eventually. So I began scoping out the NPC's. As fate would have it, someone set off the fire alarm. I scrolled out to the

This entry starts off on a weird note. I had Elmer building his logic skill using the Science career reward. He was making medicine when all of the sudden I got a pop up window. I clicked it and was directed to Elmer. He was coughing and sputtering. I told him to make medicine, he did the same. He never managed to finish making the medicine, as anytime he opened it up, he was wracked with coughs.

I'm a little upset. I booted up the game today only to find that the mysterious all-consuming thing had eaten Novio's tombstone. So now not only is there a huge gap between generation 2 and 4 in the graveyard, there's no more resident spook. The game won't be the same without'em. Thank goodness I'll likely finish by tonight or tomorrow. I want to try a different family... it might not be another

I'm experiencing a very odd/annoying bug in my game. My current generation of Zamora's all randomly lost their very high paying jobs. Now they can't fulfill their platinum wants because well, they are elders and can't get normal jobs. This has me a little upset, but thankfully the 10th generation isn't far off. I'm just glad I haven't had any critical bugs... I can just move them into a different

Last time, poor Dionisio found himself sucked up into space, leaving his family on the lawn, staring up at the stars and wondering where he had gone. Luckily, the aliens did what aliens do and had him back within a few hours. I must say... they could have a been a little more gentle when they chucked him out of the spaceship!"Caaallll meeeee!!"As with most abductions, Dionisio soon found he had

Hehe... there's a small surprise at the end of this entry. I didn't mention it at the end of my previous post because well, I actually kinda forgot about it! Oh well, at least it'll be a little exciting... or I hope it will. It is interesting to look back on all these pictures... I miss some of these sims. I'm currently on the 9th generation of Zamora's... trying not to play them too much. I want

It wasn't long until Novio grew into an adult. I was a little surprised. He grew into his nose and turned out to be rather attractive--for a sim, that is. Normally NPC DNA results in some... well... non-asthetically appealing sims. It was a pleasant surprise, however... and maybe, just maybe it would help him out on his quest to woo Celeste the mail carrier.Speaking of which, Novio was having a

With a baby on the way, Valencia was forced to take time off of work. Apparently, the bumbling burglar from the last burglary decided this was the perfect time to try again. Tip-toeing oh-so-discretly up the stairs one night, the wayward burglar began his... well... burglary."Oooh, they've moved up in the world since my last visit..."Unfortunately for Mr. Burglar... his arch-nemesis the burglar

I never realized how many pictures I had taken! I was going through them and wow... after 8 generations, you can accumulate a LOT of shots. I've removed some that really had no bearing at all, and were just taken while I was experimenting. Unfortunately, I didn't start utilizing camera man mode until later on in the legacy... so you're stuck with bland shots. I am really, really fond of taking

When last we left Zamora Manor, generation 2 had begun with little Valencia. Time passes quickly in the world of the sims, and soon Valencia aged to toddlerhood. She was now free to cause havoc on the tiny household. Thankfully, her parent's work schedules made it so I didn't require a nanny.Valencia had a great personality. All positive traits were ridiculously high, except outgoing. Which is

(Edit: My Image host is currently down/having issues... Hopefully it fixes itself soon. :\)Well, here I am... starting up a Sims 2 Blog! It was only a matter of time, really. I love snapping photos and making up little stories/lives for my sims. I've been working on the Legacy Challenge for awhile now. Prior to the Zamora Family, I couldn't quite get into it.
