Impressed by Robin Hooley's noble pursuits of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, Dermot secretly got obsessed with the idea of getting stronger and joining his cause... Which means jogging in the morning and treadmilling in the evening (yes, these logs function as a treadmill, don't ask how 🤭)

[alice-in-adventureland]

While Enya is busy with the baby, Dermot's got chores to do... At least he's on first-name terms with Cookie the Cow now!

[alice-in-adventureland]

Dermot wasn't ready for this new "development" to be constantly disrupting his sleep... Enya's taking it like a champ, though.

[alice-in-adventureland]

Both the mom and the baby survived their death rolls, so say hello to our adorable firstborn and hopefully future heir, Elys Cullen! 💗 His traits are Excitable and Workaholic. (Interestingly, Marion Hooley also gave birth to a baby boy named Stuart)

[alice-in-adventureland]

These two couldn't keep their hands off of each other during Enya's pregnancy and kept rolling woohoo wishes... They are so in love 🤭

[alice-in-adventureland]

...and Enya formed a really wholesome friendship with Marion! They bonded over being expecting moms (and gossiping about that creepy character who was trying to woo Marion despite her obvious marital status) 🧡

[alice-in-adventureland]

Dermot really hit it off with Robin! He was pleased to find out they had a lot in common, such as their burning hatred for the rich and dreams of bringing justice to the common folk.

[alice-in-adventureland]

Enya is excited to get to know their new neighbors―the Hooleys!

[alice-in-adventureland]

Dermot's ambitious nature made him get seriously into beekeeping―he made it his life's purpose to harvest better and better honey with each attempt. The daredevil in him refused to wear protective clothing, though, because what is life without taking risks?

[alice-in-adventureland]

Charles the Evil Chicken, more like Dermot's archnemesis... Enya finds him utterly charming, though.

[alice-in-adventureland]

Busy, busy, busy... Some things change, but Enya's garden has to stay perfect.

[alice-in-adventureland]

Continuing to introduce you to the Cullens! Below you can read their backstory I invented for them! For Dermot's part, I got inspired by the beginning of Roswall and Lillian, a medieval romance tale.

After making the reckless decision to free the dragons that had been imprisoned at the Cullen manor for decades, young Dermot got disowned by his lord father. Accompanied by his dear friend and steward, Dermot set out on a journey to Dragon Valley. However, once they were in the wilderness, his steward unexpectedly turned on him and threatened to drown him unless Dermot forfeited everything in his favor. Taken aback by his betrayal, Dermot told him he didn’t have a title anymore, but let him get away with his gold and horse. He barely managed to get to Dragon Valley and collapsed on the doorstep of a brothel. That’s where he was found by the lovely Enya.

Ever since her parents died from fever, Enya had to work extremely hard to get by. She was overjoyed upon finally receiving a marriage proposal, and even though she had no attraction toward the old man, life did get a little easier. The only problem was Enya couldn’t get pregnant. The old man blamed it on her, but Enya suspected that her husband’s old age may have been the true cause. Whatever the truth was, he died shortly after from illness and Enya was left all by herself again. Unable to pay the tax, Enya was forced to find work at a local brothel. That’s where she met the handsome Dermot.

After taking care of the hungry and exhausted Dermot, Enya let him spend the night at her hide. The next morning, when Dermot learned Enya’s tragic life story, he proposed to her. He promised to take care of her and never leave her side. More importantly, he promised her a family. Enya agreed, and although the arrangement was that of pure convenience, soon enough the two started falling for each other, slowly but surely. Their shared values and ambitions made their relationship stronger, and in a couple of months Enya was already carrying Dermot’s first child.

[alice-in-adventureland]

Meet the Cullens!

After a long absence, I finally got inspired to start a new legacy loosely based on Morbid's Ultimate Decades Challenge. We start in the medieval era in Dragon Valley (a fantasy world, so realism will definitely not be prioritized—only the fun 🥳) and hopefully these cuties will survive and produce an heir! Originally they are two townie sims from DV, I kept their appearance, names and personality. They turned out to be a match made in heaven and they already have my whole heart 💕

Why do you use gshade? Is it better than reshade? 🤔

i've heard it's better optimized thus causing less lag, but i can't confirm it since i've never tried reshade 🤷‍♀️ gshade is basically the same program with some tweaks and so far i've been satisfied with the results so i don't have a reason to switch! and all reshade presets are easily converted for gshade with a couple of clicks

🌈 TS3 ARCHETYPE LEGACY CHALLENGE

to celebrate 100 followers (thank you!!) i’m sharing this 12-generation legacy challenge i created based on the 12 jungian archetypes where each generation represents one of the archetypes. it’s mostly trait-based with some requirements for each generation. feel free to tweak them however you want–these are guidelines, not strict rules, it’s meant to be fun after all! the challenge is completed once the 13th generation is born (or once you’re bored 🤷)

credit: quotes and inspiration taken from this article

the set-up:

start by creating your founder (a YA sim) that represents one of the archetypes described below. for this challenge the order doesn’t matter, choose based on what makes the most sense storytelling-wise or use a number generator for extra randomness

the founder and each heir must all have a primary trait that corresponds to their respective archetype as well as a secondary trait selected from a given list (see archetype rules below). the remaining 3 traits are up to you except for the ones that aren’t allowed for that generation (we’ll call them “conflicting traits”). if a child is born with a conflicting trait they may not become heir unless you replace that trait via alchemy/cheating. to make the trait assignment process easier i highly recommend downloading the mod that enables all traits for all ages

lifetime wishes are up to you

there are no rules for other sims in your household, only for your founder and heirs (but there are some requirements that may involve their spouses/children in some way)

...now for the archetypes!

the 12 archetypes:

1. THE INNOCENT 🐣 “free to be you and me”

primary trait: GOOD

secondary trait (choose at least one): absent-minded, easily impressed, excitable, friendly, loves the outdoors, family-oriented, over-emotional, childish, hopeless romantic

conflicting traits: mean-spirited, snob, evil

may be employed in any career except crime, politics and scam artist branch of fortune telling (no place for pure innocent souls like them)

every time sim wishes to donate to charity, they must fulfill that wish

may only woohoo on 3d date

may not cheat or have multiple romantic interests

may only try for baby with their spouse

if an innocent heir receives an imaginary friend doll as a toddler, it must come alive and they must remain good friends till the end of the run

must pet a unicorn at least once

2. THE EVERYSIM 🤝 “all sims are created equal”

note: most of the time it’s impossible to prevent your sim from becoming at least a 1-star celebrity, so personally i would play an everysim by opting the household out of the celebrity system in the gameplay options menu.

primary trait: FRIENDLY

secondary trait (choose at least one): easily impressed, excitable, frugal, good sense of humor, workaholic, green thumb, handy, schmoozer

conflicting traits: snob, rebellious, avantgarde, star quality, natural born performer, loner

may not be self-employed (freelancing is too lonely for someone who wants to belong)

may be employed in any career except those that are supernatural-related or feature being in the spotlight (showtime careers, singer or band, actor etc.), but they may only reach level 5 of any career track. they may change careers as many times as you wish

must have one “normal” hobby (e.g. gardening, fishing, horse riding etc.)

must fix every appliance on the lot by themselves

must be friends with their neighbor(s) or/and colleagues and invite them over for dinner at least once a week

must always do the suck up to boss interaction for at least 2 hours every work day

may not accept opportunities that increase celebrity points (or any opportunities at all, if you want extra limitations)

may not be friends with sims who have rebel influence (unless colleagues or neighbors)

may not cook ambrosia or use other “magical” ways to control their aging

may not interact with supernatural or magical things (e.g. alchemy, woodoo dolls, bonehilda coffins, imaginary friends, unicorns etc.)

may not become a supernatural

may not socialize with supernaturals, unless they are your colleagues/neighbors OR unless your sim was born a supernatural

if your sim was born a supernatural, there are 2 ways of developing the storyline:

i. find the cure asap and prove that you renounce your past by gaining an enemy among the members of the appropriate occult and winning a fight against them ii. find a community of members of your occult type. group up with at least one fellow supernatural every week, marry and have children only within your occult type (if needed, you can be the one to turn them). however, you can’t be the leader of this community (e.g. the leader of a werewolf pack, the king/queen of the fae etc.)

must only marry or have children with a person from their community: either a colleague, a sim who lives nearby, someone who shares your sim’s traits etc. if your sim was born a supernatural, their spouse must be the same type of occult as your sim

if the sim’s child receives an imaginary friend doll you may not allow them to interact with it unless it’s the heir who was rolled as the innocent (in which case they must befriend the doll) 

3. THE HERO 💪 “where there’s a will, there’s a way”

primary trait: BRAVE

secondary trait (choose at least one): athletic, disciplined, friendly, good, adventurous, daredevil, lucky, star quality, social butterfly

once the fertility reward is acquired, you must try for baby each time instead of woohoing (but you can change the chance of pregnancy via nraas/use risky woohoo)

must always dance to kids music for a couple of hours during each pregnancy (to increase the chance of triplets)

may not hire a babysitter–they must care for their toddlers themselves

all toddlers must learn the 3 basic skills (walking, talking & potty). other members of the household may help, but your sim must take part as well

when the successor reaches childhood stage, your sim must travel with them to a country of your choice to “show them the world”

when they settle down and get married, every week you have to roll a number to determine whether the union is going to survive (if it’s 1 keep them together, if it’s 2 break them up). the exception is when the spouse is pregnant, in this case you may wait until they give birth and then roll. keep doing this until you switch to the next heir
