IMPRISMED

A TEN GENERATION LEGACY


Part 1 : Generation Gray
In the science of light,

a beam is passed
through a prism and
becomes all colors of
the spectrum.
Our story begins with

a lack of color, a lack


of light.
Building through ten
generations, our
players will build color
upon color, eventually
leading to full light.
The Legacy Challenge
rules, created by
Pinstar and modified
by many, will be used
as guidelines.
However, there are
additional rules for the
family to follow.
1. Each generation

will be assigned a
color:
 1 - Gray
 2 - Black
 3 - Red
 4 - Orange
 5 - Yellow
 6 – Green
 7 - Blue
 8 - Indigo
 9 - Violet
 10 - White
2. Each generation

will be required to add


at least one room to
the existing legacy
house. Said room will
be decorated in that
generation’s assigned
color. They may add
more than one, but all
must reflect their color
scheme.
3. Generations may
change the color of the
exterior of the house
to their color, but ONLY
if they can afford to
recolor the entire
exterior.
4. Clothing and hair

should match the


generation’s assigned
color as closely as
possible. It can be
subtle, or glaringly
obvious.
5. Each generation
will have one heir only.
If natural twins occur,
the first born will be
heir and the spare will
not be played once
they leave the main
house. They, in effect,
will become the
prodigal child, or long
lost relative.
So, without further

ado, let us meet our


founder, Roy Geebiv.
What? You thought his

name would be
something different?
Did you miss the
whole rainbow theme?
Roy is not the most

attractive Simever
created, a purposeful
decision on my part.
While this is by no
means an Uglacy, the
pretty Sims get a little
boring, no?
Roy moved into a large
lot, not the largest, but
large enough that all he
could afford was this
little shack/room.
It’s not much. Inside is

his bed, a bookshelf, a


phone, a toilet and a
shower head.
Around back is a small

fridge, one counter, and


the grill.
The table is set up for
the Sims3 computer
that will be delivered
momentarily, and there
is a chess table and
chairs to the left of the
patio.
Roy immediately got

to skill building so he
could get a job and
those all important
promotions.
Now is as good a time

as any to list his stats.


Roy is a Libra

Poplularity Simwith a
LTW to have 20 best
friends and a
personality spread of
2/8/2/6/7. His OTH is
Arts & Crafts and his
turn ons/turn off are
red hair/cleaning and
stink.
He is employed in the

politics career track.


One of the Welcome

Wagon members was


Linda Barthelet. Roy
flirted with her and
they had no bolts.
They didn’t really hit it
off either, so she was
added to the list of
friends to be made in
the effort to achieve
his LTW.
Autumn Dallas,

another member of
the Welcome Wagon,
was a better possibility
at one bolt attraction.
Being the first two
women he met
though, he kept his
options open. There
was still time.
Roy spent the next

few days dividing his


time between work
and building
friendships.
His first foray into the

community led him to


friendship with Sandy
Bruty. They had a one
bolt attraction too, but
again, it was early and
as a notorious
Romancer, Sandy was
pushed to the back of
the possibility line for
spouse.
Back home, he
managed to eat a
nasty sandwich which
led to the inevitable
prayer to the porcelain
god and a lot of
complaining about his
comfort level.
A comfy lounger was
added to his list of
possessions. It was
the highest comfort
piece he could afford
at the time and he
took full advantage of
it.
He also had a four-
legged visitor who he
was smart en0ugh to
ignore.
Being friends with

Sandy Brutyhad its


advantages. One
night Roy was invited
to join a group of her
friends on an outing
downtown.
He jumped at the

chance to go meet
more people.
The group happened

to consist of a bunch
of unimportant Sims
who were added to
Roy’s contact list to
help fulfill his LTW.
Roy didn’t remember
many of the small
details of this
particular outing after
he had his first drink at
the bar. He was too
confounded by the
lovely vision who
mixed and handed him
the glass filled with
fruity whatever it had
been he ordered.
Uma was her name.
(It’s been too long so I
don’t remember her
last name.)
A quick scope and

short conversation
revealed two bolt
attraction between
them.
For Roy, it was love at

first sight. He tidied


up his small living
space.
Made some necessary

repairs.
And invited Umaover.
He figured she would
be more comfortable
in a group, so he had a
few other people over
at the same time.
After all, he had hardly
had a chance to speak
with her while he was
on his outing.
He was quickly

reminded that they


had done nothing
more than spoken a
few polite words to
each other when Uma
refused the hug he
approached her for.
Both she and the rest

of his guests left


shortly thereafter.
Not to be daunted,

Roy closed his eyes,


relaxed back in his
favorite chair and re-
thought the situation
and his strategy.
After work that

evening, he invited her


over again. This time,
he was much more
successful at building
a relationship.
Eventually pink hearts

floated above their


heads.
And before Roy got

too bored, red hearts


followed.
Leading to the
inevitable for both of
them. Uma was
invited to move in and
accepted.
She is an Aries

Poplularity Simwith a
LTW to own 5 top level
businesses and a
personality spread of
7/6/5/0/7. Her OTH is
Science and her turn
ons/turn off are
fat/black hair and
charisma.
She is employed in the

business career track.


The funds she brought
with her allowed for
some expansion of the
indoor living space
with the bedroom and
bathroom now
enclosed in individual
rooms and the small
kitchenette inside.
They were also able to
add an open living
room space. All in all,
it was a cute little
cottage and suited
their current needs.
An engagement

quickly followed once


Roy wasn’t rolling the
fear of one.
Vows were exchanged

within minutes for


much the same
reason.
Life settled into a

routine for the couple.


A mixture of skilling for
promotions, work, and
trying to get the next
generation started.
After several tries,

finally, success.
One of the couple’s

favorite activities was


to cuddle on the lawn
and study the stars.
Uma would frequently

practice her singing


skills, serenading Roy
whenever she had a
chance.
She was definitely the

more flirtatious of the


two.
At last the day came
when their little bundle
of joy made its way
into the world.
Roy thought his wife

never looked better.


Then we had the

hand-off to the proud


papa.
WAIT! A HAND-OFF?!

This is not authorized!


Did you not read rule
number 5?!
*Headdesk*
*repeatedly*
So, Uma prepared to

deliver their second


bundle of joy.
The first born is a little

boy named Obsidian.


He will be heir of the
next generation whose
assigned color is black.
He has his fathers
blond hair and
mothers blue eyes.
The black spare, who
will fade into oblivion,
is a little girl named
Ebony. She also has
her fathers blonde hair
and mothers blue
eyes.
The days were filled

with the usual diaper


changes and bottle
feedings, which are
cute the first time, but
generally become
boring and routine
after a short while.
Uma and Roy did not

throw a party for the


twins birthday, but
Goopy happened to be
on hand after coming
home from work with
one of them.
The twins grew into

adorable toddlers.
Obsidian wisely grew
up into clothing
appropriate to his
generational color.
Ebony needed a quick
change to be a little
more reflective of it.
Obsidian is a 2/9/2/6/7

Libra. His only other


known stat is that his
OTH is Arts & Crafts.
Ebony is also a Libra

with a personality
spread similar to her
brother - 2/8/2/6/7.
Her OTH is also Arts &
Crafts.

I’ll admit I probably


could find a better


toddler outfit that is
black, but I’m not
really that worried
about it since she is an
unauthorized spare.
A new bedroom was

added to the house


and toddler training
commenced.
Early morning quiet

and the children are


not in their room.
Nor are they playing
with the toys in the
living room.
Where are they?

Well, Obsidian, the

nasty little bugger, has


discovered the joy of
the toilet and the
multitude of puddles it
will create if you are
messy enough. Which
he is.
Ebony is practicing her

stalker skills for when


she gets older and is
summarily ignored by
the entire family and
neighborhood.
Our lovely couple,
upon waking, do not
rush to attend to their
children’s needs but
instead are lip-locked
together until brutally
forced apart by
directives from above.
Eventually it was time

for the twins birthday.


Obsidian was rolling
the fear of a party so
we didn’t have one.
Everyone else wanted
one, but well, our little
heir is spoiled.
I’m not sure they

would have paid any


closer attention had
there been guests.
They’re both Pop sims.
Ebony fared no better.

She grew up by
herself in the nursery.
Even Obsidian didn’t
run in to watch.
*hate shudder* What

the heck are you


wearing? That is
definitely NOT going to
cut it mister.
Someone or
something knocked
over the trash can in
the middle of the night
while everyone was
sleeping. I had Roy
pick up everything first
thing in the morning,
but they still got
roaches. You can see
a small one on the
stone. The rest turned
into that turdlooking
thing on the sidewalk.
Roy called the
exterminator who ably
took care of the
problem.
They hadn’t called a

Nanny because
Uma’swork schedule
was 9:00 to 3:00. I
was a little worried
about overlap, but
Uma took things into
her own hands and got
herself demoted and
sent home early so we
didn’t have to worry at
all.
Roy, on the other

hand, got a promotion


even though I missed
the doo-hickey.
Obsidian did get a
better outfit more
representative of his
generational color. He
looks a lot like his
Daddy.
He brought Tessa

Ramirez home from


school.
Ebony got a new outfit

as well. She’s one of


the prettiest simsI’ve
ever had born in game
and I’m starting to
regret the rule about
one child. I’m not
changing it in the
second generation
though. I’ll have to
figure out something
to do with her
eventually.
Roy continues to work

on his LTW. Umahelps


by greeting the walk-
bys while he is at work
and feeding them.
She’s also helping

Obsidian with his


homework. Roy
helped Ebony earlier.
Goopy, Goopy, Goopy.

He initiated the
conversation with
Ebony and then stood
there bored out of his
mind.
He’s BFF’s with Roy,

so he’ll likely be a
fixture for this
generation at least.
Obsidian and Ebony
get along okay. He
refused her hug
attempts for a short
time, but there were
never any fights. Of
course, they weren’t
inseparable either like
other sets of twins.
Obsidian brings home

friends almost every


day, like Meredith
Chan here.
Ebony is forced to do

chores while the spoilt


heir has his needs and
aspiration points seen
to.
Yeah, I’m evil like that.

Actually, the kids both

have time for play with


their new found
friends. And their
parent’s new found
friends.
Oh, and Umagot

demoted AGAIN. I
don’t think she really
wants to work. She’d
rather be her own
boss.
I’ve never run a

successful business in
any of the
neighborhoods I’ve
played. Maybe it’s
time for another
attempt. I will have to
contemplate it.
Both kids are very
active and playful, so
the headmaster was
invited over. They
need that boost to
their fun meters, so
fingers crossed, he
took a tour, ate some
burgers and
schmoozed a bit with
Roy who has very high
charisma.
Both kids were

admitted. \o/
The final score was

actually 120 due to


the final schmooze
points from this
conversation, but my
picture did not come
out as well as I had
hoped, so you get this
one instead.
First day of Private

School was no big


deal. Obsidian still
brought home a friend
almost every day.
Time marched on and
days were filled with
school and play. Both
kids are very playful
so they’re not forced
to skill. If they roll a
want, it gets filled. Fall
is nice because they’ll
pick up a few. Kids
need time to be kids.
Ebony rolls the skill

wants far more often


than Obsidian.
Roy’s portrait is done.

Umais working on hers

now. She’s got the


highest creativity, so
she was the one who
got to paint them.
Here’s hers, finished.

Roy spends a lot of

time writing in his


diary. Hopefully good
memories. He’ll
probably publish as an
elder.
He also tried to
increase his skills as
easily as possible.
Townies don’t have a
lot of skill points
though. It’s okay. The
animation just cracks
me up.
The time came for the

twins teen birthday


and a lot of people
were invited. Roy and
both twins were rolling
wants for a party and
no one was rolling the
fear, so a party it was.
Note who is missing

though. Pray tell,


where are Roy and
Uma for their
offspring’s party?
Gettin’ jiggety.

*shakes head*

Sandy, I’m sure that

one day he will truly


be impressed and
amazed by your
bounteous assets, but
right now he’s got a
date with some
sparkles. Please step
away from the heir.
Now, a lot of people

are pleased with their


heirs as they transition
to teen. They talk
about how gorgeous
they are and how their
outfits are not bad but
will likely need to be
changed to suit them
better.
We have a different

reaction. Similar to a
shudder and the
realization that there’s
a face only a mother
could love.
Ebony fared much

better, again making


me slightly regret Rule
#5.
You know, I thought
they both had their
mother’s eyes, but
now I’m not so sure.
Both look rather grey,
like their dad’s, now
that they’re teens.
Their friends aged up
with them as well.
Ironically enough, both
who were at the party
chose poodle skirts.
Meredith Chan is in the
red. Demi Howe is in
the blue.
Tessa is a playable

and needs to be
played to age up.
She’s really good
friends with Obsidian
though, so she
probably will. At least
to teen. Then we’ll
see what their
chemistry is like.
Obsidian got a
makeover. He needed
to for several reasons.
The main one though
is that he needs to
reflect his generational
color and the blonde
hair just wasn’t cutting
it. He looks better
with black hair.
It also increased his

bolts with Demi to two,


which is the strongest
he has with anyone so
far.
No matter how much I
try to cut the guy a
break, ChecoRamirez
is creepy. He took a
bath, hogging the
entire bathroom, then
went to sleep in
Obsidian’s bed.
I think Tessa is

embarrassed.
The party was a hit.

Not sure how much


Roy really enjoyed it.
Obsidian was not

pleased. He was
happy about the party
though. He is a child
filled with
contradiction.
You can see Demi

thought it was a great


time too.
So did Ebony. She got

to keep the blonde hair


. As the unauthorized
spare, it really didn’t
matter much.
The twins took the

customary trip to a
community lot the
next day after school.
They were able to

purchase the
electronics they
wanted and also met
even more people
their own age.
Proof that Ebony was

there too. They get


along better now and
share a lot of friends.
Both were even able to
make friends with
Melody Tinker, which
never happens.
They gypsy brought a
little gift by. I was
relieved because I
really wasn’t going to
let Uma have five top
level businesses.
But, Roy is the founder

and man of the house


(and I suck a the
numbered LTW’s) so
he got to rub the lamp
first.
I had him wish for
lifetime happiness or
whatever it is that gets
him perma-plat. I love
how he’s really
thinking about how to
word it so it won’t
back-fire on him.
Uma did eventually

get her wish as well.


This means there is

one left and the lamp


has been placed in
Obsidian’s inventory
for him to choose to
use it or not.
Roy is getting closer to

the top of his career.


He got to go to work in
the limo.
Uma was able to get

two promotions, which


got her back to where
she was when she first
moved in.
I did go play

Bluewater Village long


enough to give Checo
and Lisa makeovers
and let Tessa age up.
Obsidian invited her
over and the first thing
they did was argue.
Their chemistry is non-
existent too, so they
will remain friends and
I don’t have to worry
about him falling for a
playable.
Tessa might go to

college. I’m not sure


though. I kind of have
a soft spot for her
since she married a
Doran in another
‘verse.
Recipe for disaster:

1. Family is starving
2. Direct someone to
serve a meal
3. Low cooking points
start a fire
4. Wonder why fire
truck is not
showing up as
family members
fire-dance
5. Belatedly note
rookie mistake
of forgetting to
put in smoke
detector/fire
alarm
6. Panic!
7. Thank goodness the
heir is not in the
room
8. Direct founder, heir
and spouse to
call emergency
in the hope that
someone will
stop fire-dance
long enough to
do so
9. Direct unauthorized
spare to try to
extinguish the
blaze since she
is technically
expendable
10.Notice spouse is
now doing the
fire-dance as
well though she
is hidden in the
bathroom
With the trusty

fireman there, the


entire family can fire-
dance together. The
family that fire-dances
together, survives
together?
Disaster is averted

and the fire is put out


with no loss of life nor
kitchen equipment.
Roy tips the fireman

for a job well done.


Umaoffers a double

tip. You can’t be too


careful, and he did
respond quickly and
well. Roy didn’t quite
agree with her as
evidenced by his WTF
face.
While this picture may

seem very dull and


bland, it contains one
very important
addition.
Disaster averted,

Obsidian invited
Demiover. He had
high relationship
scores with her so it
was a matter of one
flirt and hearts were
flying in front of the
shack.
Love shack, baby love

shack…
They’re cute together,

and the recessive hair


will stick around a little
while at least. Well, if
they last through
college.
They shared their first

kiss and, since he


rolled the want, are
now officially going
steady.
Ebony is not without a
love interest either.
Though hers is just a
midnight booty call.
She gets a good
greeting out of him
and a pleasant
thought bubble from
him before he
complains about how
late it is and turns
back the way he came.
The twins are getting

along better and


better. Obsidian sort
of ignored Ebony when
they were children and
while they weren’t
enemies, their
relationship scores
were rather low. It’s
nice to see that they
are besties now.
The time soon

approached for Roy’s


elder transition. A
party was held and all
his closest friends
were there.
Roy blew out his

candles without
making a pudding like
mess of the cake and
prepared for the
sparkles.
I’m not sure if his
guests are clapping or
guffawing. I was
leaning toward the
guffaw. I’m pretty
sure Checo was
guffawing too now that
he has hair and Roy
doesn’t.
A quick trip to the
mirror and wardrobe
and Roy was very
pleased to be back to
his old self, if a little
grayer with bones a
little more tired.
Uma thought he
looked great too.
Goopy is still stalking

Ebony. It’s a little


creepy. If they have
bolts as adults it’s
going to be more than
a little creepy. If this
was an apocalypse, it
wouldn’t be quite so
creepy because he
would be eligible as
the next spouse and
she would be made
heir.
What is it with the
townie friends and the
bathtub?! First Checo
and now Jan Tellerman
is monopolizing the
bathroom.
Recipe for disaster #2:

1. Perform another
rookie mistake
and don’t install
a burglar alarm.
2. Notice in the pop-up
camera that you
have enabled
precisely for
notification of
rookie mistakes
that there is a
burglar sneaking
toward your
legacy house.
3. While said burglar
chooses to kype
the cheap sofa
instead of the
more expensive
stuff you have,
wake as many
household
members as
possible so
someone can
call emergency
services.


4. Moan when police
arrive and
burglar runs
away and is NOT
CAUGHT by said
police.


5. Laugh at said police
officer as he
does the WTF
look as the
burglar
disappears.
6. Sit back in semi-
amazement with
the thought that
the Geebiv
family has met
all the
emergency
service
personnel and
it’s only the first
generation.
Another boring photo,
but with one very
important addition.
That same night,

Ebony made the


acquaintance of Boots
the wolf.
She hasn’t seen him

since, but their


relationship is started,
and it’s positive, and
she has knowledge as
a secondary, so
hopefully she’ll see
him again.
Is…is that a helicopter
I hear?!
Someone topped their

career!
It was Roy! He is now
Mayor of Spectrum.
Did I mention that the
name of their little
town is Spectrum?
Well, that’s where they
live and Roy is now the
Mayor.
Goopy of course, has

attached himself to
Roy’s coat-tail and is
now the Deputy Mayor.
It looks like he is the
Mayor too, but in a
town as small as
Spectrum, we do not
need two mayors, so
he is Deputy Mayor.
Of course, age and

wisdom have not


seemed to prevent Roy
from making
questionable food
choices. I shouldn’t
really blame him, as it
was never necessary
for him to gain any
cooking skill.
Of course, even bad
food puts on some
pounds so Roy dug out
the old jump rope for a
little old fashioned
exercise.
He exercises like I do.

Five minutes and we’re


done. Unfortunately,
that program doesn’t
work all that well at
maintaining fitness.
The twins have been

working on skills so
they can get a few
scholarships for
college.
Ebony skills really fast.

Obsidian has a harder


time of it.
His hard work is part

of the reason that Roy


okayed his request to
go out.
Obsidian put together

a small group of
friends and headed to
the gamer hobby lot.
While there, he lost a
competition, played
Don’t Wake the Llama,
and was able to see
his girlfriend.
Then it was back to

more skilling.
Uma was a few days

younger than Roy, so


her birthday rolled
around on the
weekend.
Friends were invited

and a cake was


bought.
She looked a little sad

to be leaving her
youth behind.
Maybe she knew

something.
To the wardrobe. Now.

Much better. A little

blingaround the waist


too. Not a bad touch.
Obsidian FINALLY got
his aspiration into the
gold by becoming
friends with one of the
party guets. Now he
can use the energizer.
He has a few more
skills to build before
leaving for college.
He moved to the

putter for some more


charisma skill. I’d like
him to have high
charisma so he makes
more friends more
easily at college.
What is it with Townies

using our bathtub and


beds?! Christy
Toyonagawas a walk-
by that Roy greeted.
She stayed for the
party and ended up in
Obsidians bed.
Wait! What’s that?!

BJ the Headmaster has


slapped Sandy?
I haven’t a clue as to

why. Maybe she was a


provocative student in
school?
And where are our
lovely hosts while this
mayhem ensues?
Well, Uma decided

that her birthday party


would be an excellent
time to blog about
games.
And Roy?

Roy has once again
left the party for the
comfort of his bed.
He always rolls the

wants for the parties,


but he just doesn’t
have the stamina I
guess.
Of course, Sandy

doesn’t take a slap


sitting down, but
delivers her own
offensive blows.
That grabbed Goopy’s
interest.
Meh, there’s only 30

seconds or so left to
the party. What could
go wrong?
Uhm, forget that last

sentence.
I think Goopy said it

best when he told


Gilbert that he didn’t
think that Sandy and
BJ were going to be
best friends.
On that note, the
party finished up in
“Not Bad” status and
Roy and Uma got their
little party doo-
hickeys.
Although Christy

didn’t even bother to


get dressed again as
she traipsed through
the living room toward
the door.
Sunday morning

contained a few early


hours of hard-core
skilling for Obsidian,
which paid off in
$4,000 worth of
scholarships.
Ebony had finished

hers up days ago and


also had $4,000 in
scholarships.
The taxi was called

and they made their


way on to the next
part of their lives.
You two crazy kids

hold the fort while


they’re gone.
Obsidian will be back
before you know it.
A few closing stats:

I never listed Obsidian


and Ebony’s LTW or


TO/O:
Obsidian’s is to

become Education
Minister and his TO/O
are Jewelry and
Creativity/Strength.
Ebony’s is to become

a Rock God and her


TO/O are Glasses and
Mechanical/Red Hair.
Obsidian’s secondary
is Popularity. I choose
secondary's based on
game observations
and what I feel the
character shows me
they want.
