This week I have been playing the Legacy Challenge with my Sim, Victoria Steem. She has already proven to be difficult to play, as she has been stuck twice. The first time was in a public bathroom at the park. Victoria will not be going back to that park.
This time I was trying to get her to go home, and she was stuck at the gym. I lost my progress twice. She went for a jog, and missed her new neighbors’ visit, so Victoria did not meet them either. She is still living in her makeshift house with only a bed, toilet, and a refrigerator.
I showed it to my husband, and he suggested to put the bed inside, and the toilet outside. So now she is going to the bathroom out in the open. None of the neighbors have stopped by to complain yet. So, that’s a relief.
Victoria has been spending most of her time at the gym. Once I found the stove on the top floor of the gym, Victoria began cooking all her meals there. She can cook grilled cheese, and bacon and eggs for about $4.00 a meal. She is in the athletic career track, so she can get her workout in, and level her fitness skills there, so she can be promoted at work.
Saturday, Victoria landed her first promotion. She has been promoted to Locker Room Attendant! She received a bonus, and an athlete’s trophy case. As you can see, the place is a mess from eating quick snacks at home. The promotion to locker room attendant has provided Victoria with enough money to buy a sink, so she is able to clean up the dishes now. I placed the sink next to the toilet behind her home. One day she hopes to have walls around them.
Sunday night, Victoria was invited out to the club to celebrate her new promotion. She really needed to have some fun. During this outing, Victoria acquired the dancing skill. Since she did not have to work Monday, I allowed Victoria to dance the night away.
Monday, Victoria spent her day off with the Good Timers club. The Good Timers club is a group of folks who like to hang out at the bar, drink and play games. They have a happy hour in the afternoon, and lots of games to play at the local pub, the Shrieking Lama. Victoria gets a comradery buff from hanging out with club members, and this boosts her happiness level.
Back at the gym on Monday evening, Victoria works on her charisma skill in the mirror of the gym bathroom. She can’t afford a mirror of her own yet. I’ve kept her in a pretty good mood, even though the gym is a large building, and it takes a long time for Victoria to get from one activity to the next. But, beggars can’t be choosers I guess.
By Monday evening, Victoria is tired. She will need to wrap up her daily workout, and head home to get some sleep. To get out of the locker room, (literally) Victoria will be working on her charisma skill, and finishing her daily tasks.
Victoria really needs this next promotion. Her bills have arrived and they are almost $600. Can you believe she must pay so much to live in this tiny home? The luxury of living in a nice neighborhood!
She will have a few hours in the morning to take care of her basic needs, and try to reach level two in her charisma skill. If she doesn’t get the promotion, I will need to sell the refrigerator, and the bookcase to pay the bills. She has been spending most of her time at the gym...
By Tuesday afternoon, Victoria Steem has done everything she needs to get a promotion at work. She also took a brisk shower that put her into an energized mood. She may not get a promotion today, but she won’t have to work much harder to get one.
Victoria did have to sell her fridge, and bookcase to cover her bills this month. Hopefully she will get a promotion in the next couple of days. It will be nice when she doesn’t have to hang out at the gym, has walls around her bathroom, and can afford a kitchen and a shower at home. But that’s the life of a legacy Sim.
I will keep you updated on Victoria Steem’s progress as I play the legacy challenge. She is off to a rough start, but I have been able to keep her in a stable mood, and she has done all she can to make more money in the athletic career track.
Until next time,
Happy Gaming- Sim Girl
