#the crane legacy

[anamoon63]

"The future only belongs to the future itself, and the future is Electric Youth".

Okay so, Time Traveler (The Crane Legacy) wasn’t a story in the beginning, it started as just gameplay about a young guy from the future, Robin Crane, a plumbot builder, who travels to the past and meets the woman of his dreams. Robin had a concern, though, in the Oasis Landing population files, no descendants of his were listed, so he became obsessed that he should start having kids right away, so much so, that he got into all the trouble that gave rise to the story.

Then, you know me, I started planning and writing a plot, taking posed photos for the characters, using special saves in both Aurora Skies and Oasis Landing to stage scenes, etc. And, since I had to follow a script, my characters’ lives were kind of on pause. But… in the original Aurora Skies save, where everything started, time and life continued to pass for the Cranes and the Shens (Juliette’s family), something that doesn’t happen in my story saves, where, due to technical reasons, life takes much longer to pass.

I've tried to keep secret what happens in the original Aurora Skies' save, so as not to spoil the story, but since Time Traveler is about, well, time traveling, lol, I thought we could do a little six-year time jump from 2017 to 2023 in order to introduce the next generation (3rd actually) of the Crane dynasty. So, without further ado, I present to you the third generation of Cranes.

From left to right: Carrie, Wanda, Rowan, Jessica, and Collin. Rowan and Jessica are the oldest with 8 (real life) years; and Collin, Carrie and Wanda are 6 (real life) years old. (Yes, they're all the same height cause I don't use height sliders in order not to mess my game).

As we already know, these five kids are all Robin's children, from three different moms, which are Juliette Shen (Rowan's mom) Kaleigh Chandelace (Collin's mom) and Ann Conners (Jessi, Carrie and Wanda's mom). Despite this, they love each other as if they were full siblings, cause they all have something in common: they have the same father, and some of them, (I am not telling which ones), also share Robin's alien genes. They are currently living their lives at the fullest, learning about their alien powers and preparing to compete among themselves to be Robin's successor. Who of them will make it? I still don't know so I can't tell, and if I knew I wouldn't tell. 😉

Sorry if this post was too long, or if it seemed like a spoiler, it's just I'm so happy with how this generation turned out that I couldn't resist, and I just can't wait for them to grow so I can tell their stories. 😋

I take this opportunity to say that Time Traveler (the actual story) is not over, it will be back, though maybe not too soon. I'm currently writing the episodes of Part Three: To the Moon and Back, where we will go to Robin's rescue after his abduction by an alien ship, and where, contrary to this post, we'll go back one generation to meet Robin's long-lost parents. It's a long way to go, but eventually we'll get there, then we'll let Robin take a rest as we move on to this brand new third generation. Of course, I want to give my endless thanks to Bee @poses-by-bee, @gabrielabenacci, @anasaquasims and Rayne's Factory and for the poses. As well as to @aroundthesims, @anzuchansims, @ifcasims, @plumdrops, lillka, blakegriplingph (MTS), and sketchbook pixels for the kids' hair and clothing. Proper credits and links here below: POSES

At this point, they're CORRECT quotes

Marina: Phiri Dun-Ra really hates us. Six: Yeah, maybe she’s homophobic. Marina: We’re not gay. Six: We’re not? --- Einar: Ugh, there’s always that weak bitch in the group who isn’t down with murder *glares at Caleb*. Caleb: Well, sorry I have morals! --- Nine: I don’t have anger issues! Do you guys think I have anger issues? Nigel: Well, I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call it an issue. An issue is something you can fix. --- Ella: It’s very sad to see Five so... decrepit and weak. John: No, it’s not. It’s about time he ate shit. --- Ivan: How come whenever I have fun, it’s considered wrong? Adam: People die when you have fun. --- Setrakus Ra: My own people thought I was a monster. Setrakus Ra: They were right of course, but it still hurt. --- Five: You can all go to HELL! Five: Except you Ran, you’re great. --- John: Could you be anymore annoying? Nine: I’m actually holding back right now.

Crane Wives Legacy Challenge

Are you obsessed with Crane Wives and are being held hostage by the Sims 4 and want a challenge that forces you to use the packs you may have not touched before? If so, this is the challenge for you! 

This was originally made because my friend and I wanted to do a Sims 4 legacy challenge and we are both obsessed with Crane Wives. Special thanks to them for helping create this as well. 

Welcome to Crane Wives Legacy Challenge!  This is a 10 generation challenge currently but I have 2 “optional” generations that you can choose to include or ignore (focused on occult types).

Quick Notes:

Fan created, by fans for fans. Not sure how many other fans fit this niche but if I already made it I might as well share it. If you just like the Sims 4 and want to try give Crane Wives a listen, they own my soul.

Comments and Feedback are Welcome! 

First time creating a legacy challenge, so if anything doesn’t quite work you know why. 

I did not limit myself on packs at all (mainly because I just got the packs and this is my excuse to actually play the content in them) so if you don’t have access to content of a certain pack feel free to change it based on what you think would be interesting for the song. 

Heirs + Spouses can be any gender

As a lot of Crane Wives songs have morally questionable “speakers” and/or deal with complex feelings most of the sims vary from ok person trying their best to just a bad person. If you’re the type of player who only wants good things for your sims this may not be the challenge for you and that's ok. Personally, I like torturing my sims so.. Also the generations are not straightforward song interpretations and are built within the very strict limitations of what the Sims 4 allows players to do.

Side note, just because one of the sims does something bad doesn’t mean I as the creator think their actions are “good” nor condone them. Not sure if this statement is 100% necessary but just to be clear.

If you do this challenge, reach out to me on tumblr! You can use #CWlegacy to tag your posts.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Gen 2: Never Love an Anchor 

To one of your parents you were clear evidence of their partner's affairs and to the other you’re no better than air. You care a lot about knowing what others are thinking and doing and you want to be in the know. You have a kid but in your gut you know you cannot take care of this child without hurting them in the same ways your parents hurt you if not worse. You always want to know how their life is, however, and while you hope they never meet you, you wish to be confided in by others and make sure your kid is living the best life possible.

Gen 3: Safe Ship Harbored 

Your life is… actually pretty good as far as things go. Yeah it sucks you never met your mom and it is a part of your identity but your adoptive parents aren’t bad people (unless you decided the worst for this kid.) If anything you’re lacking spice in your life, so in highschool you cause all the drama possible. But before long something happens that changes you fundamentally. You got pregnant. At an age way too young to take care of a baby. You commit your life to this baby but it drains you of your spark for life, you don’t give them up though because they deserve better than an absent parent just because they weren’t intended. You always think of what your life could have been though.

During one of your shifts you discover the hidden planet Sixam, your curiosity gets the better of you and you devise a plan to get there. Once you land, you’re shocked to discover aliens! You never thought other lifeforms could exist, you befriend the aliens, and eventually go back to your own planet. (Marry one of the aliens you meet on this trip, if you choose to marry). As you continue making trips to Sixam, you notice your decreasing paranoia. You realize how much of your life you wasted and decide you can now live your life to the fullest.

You don't try to be mean, mean words just come more naturally than flowery prose. You know it affects the people around you negatively, but you can’t help yourself. You make mistakes. A lot of them, but your spouse is the one you want to stay with at the end of the day and you can’t imagine your life without them so you will make it work even if you’re complete opposites and oftentimes neither of you get what you see in each other (but that makes you want each other more.)

Gen 7: Unraveling

For better or for worse your relationships have guided the course of your life. You fell into knitting due to your close relationship with someone who happened to knit, because you loved them dearly, but they departed. You became a gardener and deeply attached to plants (even becoming one yourself) because a person you loved taught you to connect with nature on a deeper level. Your house itself is a product of the crafts of someone else you loved. FInally, your children are the product of a love you thought would never decay. For better or for worse they are all a part of you and make up who you become.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Gen 8: Easier

The parent you thought hung the stars themselves is gone. You and Your sibling connected over this and made an inseparable bond. You moved in together, started on your adult lives together, found peace and truly made a home together. It was you and them until the end. Unfortunately, they tragically passed too soon. Their passing breaks you, you move to a town and “start fresh” but eventually you realize that the past isn’t left behind that easily, and that it isn’t easier to abandon what little you had left of them. And after some time, and a lot of healing, you come to terms that that would not be what your sibling would have wanted either. You return to the home you had together and face the future, even if it hurts.

Once you complete self care specialist aspiration move back into the house you shared with your sibling to settle down

-------------------------------------------------------------

Gen 9: Turn out the lights

You’re kind of impulsive and can't stop yourself from doing the first thing that pops into your head. That makes it hard to really “stick” with something but it lets you see things you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Maybe eventually you’ll calm down long enough to realize you are able to have self control, but until then lets try stuff out. 

Traits: Creative, High Maintenance, Kleptomaniac 

Aspiration: Academic + Renaissance Sim

-------------------------------------------------------------

Gen 10: The Well

You think about your family a lot. Your parents weren’t really all “there” with their adventures among other stuff. But when you think of your family, you don’t just think of your parents. You can help but think of everyone who came before you, the regrets they may have had, the regrets you will have. You want to live a life without those regrets, while you may struggle since it genuinely is very difficult for you to communicate with others. You want to experience everything life has to offer and connect to those who you want to communicate with genuinely, one way or another.

Where I'm From.

A poem by Artem.fluid

I am from a town where nothing happens,

Despite the lives that live there.

I am from a tree seeping sap,

Sticks stuck in dirt

All long gone.

I am from blue music making aliens,

Stolen.

Working

Harder

Faster

Stronger

To be returned.

I am from vicious wind chill, nipping at my skin.

The calling of a winter vortex, keeping me inside.

I am from a little block game,

Dirt and stone bringing screens to life.

I am from lightcycles and disc wars, 

Not wanting to be derezzed.

I am from unscathed bones,

Safely tucked away behind anxiety.

I'm from the jungle gym of a wood framework,

Sturdy and not moving. 

Soon to be stuck behind a wall.

I'm from art big and small,

High and low alike.

I'm from arrows bouncing off bark, 

blunt being simply abused.

I'm from that car stuck in that garage,

covered in cobwebs.

Always broken always working.

I'm from nearby and far out,

The hymn of roads lulling me to sleep.

I am from high winds and heavy rains, 

huffing and puffing and blowing my house down.

I'm from not my house, 

far from home betrayed by nature.

I'm from thousands of words, good and bad.

I am from fuck you. 

Calling you out and running away. 

Not letting you phase me eons after.

I'm from top secret clearance,

What a lie.

I'm from bleach and burning skin, 

rainbows dousing my head.

I'm from restless legs, 

my sleep always escaping me.

From sharks, not in water

but the ocean of my blankets.

I'm from that “scarf” around my neck, 

a friend never leaving my side.

I'm from a good morning during midday.

A finger wiggling at me,

Giggles escaping us all.

I'm from tiny little paws sitting in my hands, 

a ball of fur named Waffles.

I'm from the wives of a crane, 

Flying through rhythm.

Songs about woes and issues,

Their melody blessing my ears.

I am from a Weber grill used as a drum.

Blistering in the sun and reading 

my permanent record.

I'm from feelings, arent we all?

Physical and mental,

Atom by atom,

I'm from there,

As are you.
