A new legacy means new rules.
Harry is our founder and his family is going to be trait-based.
Have you figured out which trait by their name? You were thinking good right? I know you were.
Congratulations you are correct!!!
The Serenity family heirs must have the good trait like founder Harrison. But don’t worry we have backups just in case the random trait generator is mean and doesn’t give it to a child. (And so I don’t end up with too many legacies too quickly)
If no children receive the good trait a male heir will suffice BUT any child (male or female) who roles evil is automatically disqualified from being the heir. That would just not flow with the serene environment we are trying to create here.
Gawrsh that’s a big block of text let’s get to the good stuff.
Aka pictures!
Harrison and his husband Neil have moved to Oasis Springs.

It’s not much to look at but it’s a start.
The Foxes didn’t have much money to spare for it.
(I take the money out of the original families funds when starting an off-shoot legacy to add a sense of realism.)
When I loaded the game they were both starving so they decided to have a breakfast date at the new restaurant I just downloaded.
As long as they hit gold on this they should complete Harrison’s soulmate aspiration.
Wait what kind of fashion code is that?!
Surely that’s against some sort of health code? Right?
Eh, whatever. He’s cute (I’d literally just added him to the townies) so we’ll let it slide.
Besides they have ice cream!!
I love how excited they are, they are just too cute for words.
Before they headed home they finished their date (and Harry’s aspiration) with a bang!
Speaking of bangs…
Was that in poor taste? Or just a really bad segue?
Maybe a little bit of both?
Oh well, suck it up buttercups because these two can’t keep their hands…
or eyes…
off one another.
Besides their constant need to woohoo, the Serenities tend to lead quiet lives.
Neil is usually programming for his tech guru aspiration and since there is no tv Harry has to entertain himself with good ol’ fashioned books.
There’s always the occasional visitor as well.
Of course, their first visitor was Greyson, that man’s everywhere.
I don’t think I mentioned it but Harry works in the charity organizer part of the political career.
I thought that worked best with his personality.
So he constantly has to guilt trip people into promoting his cause. So even something as fun as the GeekCon has a work element.
Excuse me I need to get this..
Go for Harry.
No way he what?!
I seriously love these random phone calls from family members. Though they almost always talk about Not so Berry’s Goose.
Once Harry filled his donation quota he headed to the Gaming challenge.
Where he failed horribly!
I bet Neil would have done well, but sadly he was at work and they can’t afford to miss any work right now.
Being the social butterfly he is Harry gets invites out on the town regularly and he and Neil took Wilma Beri up on her offer to head out one night.
She literally invited like 12 people it was ridiculous!
I love this lot! It could be a bar a karaoke joint a cafe, whatever you wanted to label it as. Definitely recommend it.
That’s about it for this part.
Except for a little convo the boys had…
Harry: So babe, I have been thinking. We need more money and my career, although noble, doesn’t really bring in the bucks. If we wanna get this family started we need something more.
Neil: ok… What did you have in mind hon?
Harrison: A restaurant!
Neil: A restaurant? Did I hear you correctly?
Harrison: Yeah. There are almost no places to eat in this town… especially for vegetarians… so I was thinking we could change that.
Neil: *shakes head and lightly chuckles* That’s why I love you, always want to help people even if it’s just giving them access to the perfect restaurant. But how are we going to pay for it? We barely make enough to pay the bills as is, we are living on our bonuses from promotions.
Harry: A loan.
Neil: We just started out and now you want to take out a loan?… Why do I feel like you already have this planned out?
Harry: Yeah, you know me too well. I’ve already been to the bank and they’ve agreed to back us for 30,000 simoleons to get us started. For every week it’s not paid off 1,000 is added in interest…… I know it’s not a great deal…
Neil: But you really wanna do this?
Harry: …. Yeah… It’ll be our legacy!
Neil: Screw it, call the bank, tell them they have a deal. I can’t say no to your enthusiasm, no wonder you’re so good at your job.
So yeah, that’s my plan with Serenity. They are going to build a restaurant and hopefully not flop (I’ve never tried running one in game yet). I’ll be deducting simoleons via the money cheat when they can afford to lose some.
And we will be monitoring their debt here:
Current Debt: 30,000
