Hey ya'll! Contrary to what my first chapter says, I'm Nov, and this is my first legacy, the Tarvok Patriarchacy. My founder is a made-up lovechild of Mr. Spock and Dr. Beverly Crusher from Star Trek: The Original Series and The Next Generation, respectively. (I have weird shipping preferences.) I'm doing the following handicaps:

Strict Family Values - founder is a Family Sim, no premarital WooHoo/WooHoo out of wedlock, must try for a baby every time
Patriarchy - heir must be male

Generation One - Jason
Chapter 1: AND SHE HEART-FARTED MY SIMSELF. - Dreamwidth
Chapter 2: "I can has paint nao?" - Dreamwidth
Chapter 3: Hello, my name is Car. - LJ|Dreamwidth
Chapter 4: "Shhh. You're ruining the moment." - LJ|Dreamwidth
Chapter 5: Those carnivorous tables can be pretty dangerous. - LJ|Dreamwidth

Generation Two - Jon
Chapter 6: REDSHIRT PANIC TIME - LJ|Dreamwidth


Special
Gen 1 Photoshoot - Take 1
Gen 1 Heir Poll

Adopt-a-Tarvok! - Generation 1

I read I'm reading your legacy! (I post while I read, because I'm a bawse.)
Spoiler:
Chapter 1: Good start :good: I really like it.
Chapter 2: Better graphics! *Celebrates* And, no your game isn't the only the glitches, mine does that to! Congrats on Jon and Bev, they are so cute! I looks like bev is your favorite. I really want to know what Deanna looks like! GAH!
AAANDD>>Chapter 3: Why do kids always follw their parents into the bedroom when they try to get freaky? It bugs me and makes me wonder if the kids are pervs :shok: Deanna is... special looking, I don't really know if she's pretty or not, so she's special :P. All your kids are lookin' fine! Oh, scratch what I said about Deanna, she just grew up and looks...well... FINE! Jon-Clone looks like Jon (Duh) and I think that's a wrap! Good luck.

@Hanhammo:
Spoiler:
Thanks for reading! I did read your legacy. It's very nice so far (:


@Scatteredsims:
Spoiler:
Thanks for reading! Yeah, the kids are all pretty okay-looking. I like Sybok as a sim, but... stupid Jon-clone. With my luck, their next kid will either be a girl or another Jon-clone.

Spoiler:
Ch 1: It's good to see new sim 2 legacies that start up with some good old lawn living. :s_thumbsup Way too many start up by doing a kaching these days but that takes away from seeing things build up which to me is part of the attraction of a legacy.

Andrea Hogan is a romance sim she heartfarts everybody. :s_laughat

Ch2: Graphics are looking somewhat better.

Christy looks nice. :s_smile

Two good ways to get charisma skill for kids up is the business career award golf putter or talking to parrot if you have pets. They both increase fun.

If you put a room divider, found under fences, around each crib (make sure there is enough room in front) it will prevent the twins waking each other up. Sims thinks it's a room.

Bev is a rather scary looking toddler!

Ch 3:
Love the crib set, I have it too. :s_smile

Just as well sims and things can't get run over or I'd have a number of dead sims and squished objects. :s_laughat

Purple is good. *nods*

Bev looks better as a teen, although I'm guessing she has some scary eyebrows going on under the hair. Deanna looks nice too.

Ch 4;
Graphics are looking good. :s_smile

Carpool drivers are really annoying.

Oops, poor Christy, :s_laughat

Sorry about the clones. :s_sad I had three my first generation. Did you see on the other thread where I said you can avoid the clone thing?

I guess you know about elixcer?

Jason makes a decent looking elder. :s_smile

I don't know what makes some sim parents more responsible when there is a fire. I had one today carry the toddler outside, but some... well some would rather leave the kid in front of the flames while they do the fire dance. :rolleyes:

Some pointers if you want them:
If you have any EP from OFB on you can get rid of plumbobs with the cheat. It helps pictures if you can keep the walls up for photos. If you don't have AL try angling the camera down to avoid the sky.
Black face, black sim and terrain going wonky in a brand new legacy-not a good sign. Hope you haven't done any VBT (very bad things) There are a few things that the game allows that will literally wreck your neighbourhoods if you are not aware of them. It could also be a sign your graphics card is getting over hot. You can try turning reflections to medium or off.

Good start. :s_smile

@Jo:

Spoiler:
Thanks for reading! Yeah, I did see your post on the other thread. Thanks for the heads-up (:

The only EP I have is NL, sadly.

The only VBT that I can think of that I've done is started to play a legacy on a laptop with only 2 GB of RAM. (um, whoops?) I am worried about my game completely kabooming, though. A couple of gaming sessions ago - after chapter 4 was up - Sybok grew up to a teenager, apparently decided he didn't like his Jon-clone face, and somehow aged with another default face. I played for about twenty minutes last night and it was glitching all over the place, with an error message popping up when Sybok tried to show his A+ to a sleeping Christy, to which I pressed "cancel" or whatever, which somehow resulted in child!Archie coming home two hours early from school, so I got a message about Archie skipping school. I exited without saving, and I'm so confused about what's going on with my game D,:

The worst VBT are moving sims between neighbourhoods, installing occupied lots, or deleting sims via the sim bin or with the delete all character cheat.
If you have done any of those or had Crumplebottom bitten by a vampire your game will be toast. If you plan on making a vampire you should get creature fixes from MATY. A few other must haves are nolinkondelete which stops the game shredding files of dead sims if an urn should get smashed. Also the bat box which you can use next time you load up the lot to clear trash and gossip.

With what you have going on I would first be pulling your download folder to the desktop and seeing how things run cc free in case you have something clashing or corrupted. After that I would do a game regeneration. That will fix up anything within the Documents? EAGames/The sims 2 folders. You simply copy and paste the entire sims 2 folder to your desk top and run the game. It will make all new folders. Only reinstall as the very last measure. A lot of people think that’s a cure all, when it only fixes core game files and most the time the problem isn't with that. I also wouldn't play with Boolprop on... but then I never touch it so I'm not the best one to ask about that.
