the pseudo legacy - chapter 1

8/9/2019 The Pseudo Legacy - Chapter 1

1/112

Welcome to the Pseudo Legacy, where the last scion of the Legacina elves follows a mysterious prophecythat seems to indicate that he shall be the one who founds the legacy to restore the lost magic and strength

of the Legacina line.

Why Pseudo Legacy? Well, to be honest, I didnt want to give up any of my hacks and that pretty muchnixes this from being a legacy that follows the official rules.

Now, on with the story!

This chapter was originally uploaded to the Sims2 Exchange on January 21, 2007.


2/112

Sim State University, a place far from the wilds of Pleasantview where he grew up, is the place that TeylirLegacina, now calling himself Taylor, has chosen to come for his education. After all, if he is to found a

legacy to revive his familys lost glory, then having an education is going to be a very helpful thing.

It has been several years since his parents and grandfather were callously killed by the whims of adespicable vampire. As far as Taylor is aware, he has escaped the evil womans notice and is now free tofollow the dictates of the prophecy.


3/112

Why am I hearing voices?

Uh....

Great. Not only am I hearing voices, Im talking out loud to myself. What a way to make an impression onmy first day. He sighed.

Well, as narrator, I didnt think Taylor would be able to hear me this quickly. This is a phenomenon that hasbeen known to happen among legacy sims, but for some reason, I thought my sims would be immune.

Yeesh, and to top it off, the voice in my head is talking to itself too. Greeaaaat.

Taylor Legacina is a Cancer, popularity aspiration, with the lifetime want to become a General. His stats are 5Neat, 5 Outgoing, 5 Active, 5 Playful, and 5 Nice. A very middle of the road sim.

Gah. Stupid voice-in-my-head.


4/112

Continuing on, Taylor is a popularity sim with a lifetime want of becoming a General. Unfortunately, thatbeautiful flowing hair is never going to cut it in the military, so we ought to cut it now. Perhaps a buzz cut?

Look voice-in-my-head, I am not cutting my hair. Theyre not that strict. This is the sim military that wentto war on the garden gnomes after all. Ill just put it back in a ponytail. Now its out of the way.

Im not sure that would fly in the real world, but whatever floats your boat, Taylor. I guess I like the ponytaillook anyway.

Since he is a popularity sim, its time to start making friends. And finding a suitable mate.

Im not sure why popularity sims have such a bad reputation among legacy players. In my mind, theyreeasy as pie to handle. Give them a phone and theyre well on their way to have as many friends as theirlittle pixel hearts desire.

Wait a sec, voice-in-my-head, did you say mates? Come on, I just got to college! Let me sow my wild oats.


5/112

Hey! Arent you Laci Mazza? Taylor got excited when he met his first dormie, thinking he might have met acelebrity.

Huh? No... Ive got no idea who this Lazi Macca is. My name is Christa Kearney.

Oh.. uh.. sorry. Swallowing, Taylor offers a sheepish grin, You look just like someone Id read about. Just..just as a word of advice, you should probably stay away from cow plants and vampires.

Whatever... Walking away, the Laci Mazza clone muttered, Pointy eared freak.

Well, dont let that get you down, Taylor. Shes always had people issues.


6/112

Trying again with the next dormie, Taylor introduces himself with a touch of trepidation, Uh.. hi. Im Taylor.

Nice to meetcha. Im Cherry. She pauses, Im not going to bite you. Unless you really want me to.Looking him up and down, she adds, Not that Id mind that, youre kinda hot.

Uh... Blushing and laughing nervously, Taylor realizes he might have found a romance sim, Maybe. So..whats your major?

After a couple of conversations and in spite of her boldly forward advances, Taylors had his first friend.


7/112

Taylors next friend was a rather rebellious looking dormie by the name of Charlie Thompson.

Yo.

Wait, you can hear me? Youre not supposed to hear me at all, youre a dormie!

Pfft. Whatever, lady. You may be fishing for chicks to hitch up Taylor, but you need some eye candy as well.I got a feeling youll be wanting me around for a while.

Cheeky sim.


8/112

The first few weeks of college were a blur of new people and hard work. After all, Taylor had absolutely noskills or money when he came to college, so he was at a bit of a disadvantage when it came to getting his

grades up there.

Still, with some hard work and dedication, he was easily able to get a 4.0 halfway through his Freshmanyear.


9/112

Of course, it didnt hurt at all that hed gone out of his way to befriend his professors. One in particularseemed to get along with him rather well.

Professor Kelly Hanby was a young woman not long out of school herself, and she found Taylors sense ofhumor to be quite charming. He might struggle a bit with some of the coursework, but he could tell a great

joke.


10/112

Actually, they both enjoyed each others company quite a bit more than either really wanted to admit. Afterall, there was this whole student-teacher professionalism boundary between them. Professor Kelly knew

some professors took advantage of their students, but she didnt want to be like that.


11/112

Cherry, on the other hand, had no boundaries at all between her and what she wanted, which was Taylor.

Despite his uncertainty about the situation, Taylor was quite flattered at the attention from Cherry. Shewasnt unattractive, and she was quite definitely persistent.


12/112

Uh.. oh my.. Cherry, I dont think thats anatomically possible, but.. uhm.. heh... it sure sounds interesting.She had quite the talent for getting the usually verbose Taylor to blush profusely.

Come on hot stuff. Ive got something I want to show you. And something I want to see. And do, andtouch... Grabbing his hand, Cherry led the finally willing Taylor to her dorm room.


13/112

This led from one thing to another, which led to another, and finally, in the end, Taylor learned the truemeaning of woohoo. Cherry certainly knew the ins and... er... well, she had a good grasp on.. uhm... She

had a good understanding of the wooing and the hooing.

Unfortunately, Cherrys somewhat dim roommate had no sense of timing. Lisa Trottier scratched her head,Hey Cherry? Do you know what the capitol of Bulgaria is? Or maybe your boyfriend does?

It did bring Taylor down from his high a touch.


14/112

While he greatly enjoyed the evening with Cherry, Taylor spent the rest of the day thinking about someoneelse. Cherry might be fun to spend time with, but shed never be someone he could enjoy spending the rest

of his life with. He needed someone who could be his best friend as well as his lover. He needed someonesmart, witty, intelligent. Someone who would understand and support his need to found a legacy.


15/112

He needed Professor Kelly.

Kelly, I.. I know we said we wouldnt cross that line because you didnt want to be one of thoseteachers,but... Taking a deep breath, Taylor blurted it all out, I just cant get you out of my head. Youre my bestfriend, you understand my jokes, youre good at anything you put your mind to, and youre gorgeous.Please, can we give this a try?

I.. Taylor.. I dont know what to say...


16/112

I dont... mmmphle! Mmmmmmmmmm.

Taylor really didnt give her a chance to say no. From the stories hed heard of his parents, his father neverlet his mother have a chance to say no either, and if Professor Kelly was the one he wanted, he needed tolet her know in no uncertain terms.

In the end, Professor Kelly was quite agreeable to the whole thing.


17/112

After that, the semesters seemed to fly by in a daze of studying, skilling, and dating Professor Kelly. Taylorwas fairly content with life in the dorms, but it always felt like there was something he was missing out on.

One day between class and skilling, he took a good look around campus using the telescope up on the roof.A streaker was running across the quad, there was a professor making out with a student up in the towerwith the hot tub, the cow mascot was tormenting some poor freshmen. And then he saw the Greek Houses.


18/112

Oh my gosh, is he... Wow. He really is. Thats totally... Taylor was astoundingly disturbed by whatever itwas he was seeing over at Urele Oresha Cham House.

WAIT! Thats it! Thats what I need to do. I need to found my own Greek House. Itll be a legacy within mylegacy!


19/112

Somehow, everyone knows when theyre being spied upon, so Ashley Pitts came rushing over to the dormto give Taylor a good thrashing. Instead, he was shocked to find a very angry and determined Taylor ready

to face him.

You think youre hot stuff being in that Greek House. Well, Ill tell you buddy, Ive seen what kind of personyou are, and youre nothing! And to prove it to you, Im going to start my own Greek House! Where peopledont need to kowtow to your kind of slime!


20/112

Taylor immediately called up Professor Kelly to share his ideas with her. She was always a great soundingboard for his thoughts.

Mmmfffphlllmmmmmmmmm.

Apparently she had no objections to Taylors plan to start a Greek House.


21/112

Phi Dagga Katta wasnt much to look at in the beginning. A few walls, some run down appliances, a table,some chairs. It didnt matter, though. Taylor was still the talk of the campus.

His first visitor was the irrepressible Whitney Buckingham, cheerleader extraordinaire. After all, save thecheerleader, save the...

Wrong show, voice-in-my-head.

Oh yeah. What I meant was, befriend the cheerleader, befriend the campus.


22/112

In addition to Whitney and her cheering ways, there were also the two mascots that took turns showing up.Neil Pederson, the Llama, and Colin Cox, the Cow, didnt really get along that well, but theyd occasionally

study together.


23/112

Finally, the other important person that Taylor met after founding Phi Dagga Katta was the streaker.Hi! Im Parker Parker. Part of the Greek Society welcoming committee. It s good to have you here. Parker

Parker was nothing if not gregarious.

Uhm... dude, youve got no clothes on. Youre just... hanging out there. Taylor was a touch disturbed bythis, but Parker Parker was disarmingly friendly and eventually our founder was able to see past thestreakers tendencies.

And yes, his name really is Parker Parker.


24/112

Phi Dagga Katta is also where the Gnome Conspiracy was born. Taylor took great joy in buying his first lawngnome, but random people would show up and insist on stealing the durn thing. I think he went through a

good half dozen gnomes during his last two years in school.


25/112

Taylor quickly became known around campus for holding some of the best toga parties seen in a long time.

Of course, his first party was almost his last. You see, the juice was flowing rather freely at this first party,and Taylor had a little too much to drink. A lot too much actually. Especially with what he was about to do.


26/112

Mmm. Cherry on top. Heheh. Cmere. He was drunk. She was wearing a sheet. And, of course, Cherrycertainly wasnt going to object to another chance to fool around with Taylor.


27/112

TAYLOR LEGACINA! How dare you! Professor Kellys wounded shout immediately shattered the spell ofjuice and bubbles. Cheery wisely crept away and let the two lovebirds be.

K.k.kelly, I.. I d.dont... I.. . Uh.. oh gosh. Taylor stammered away.


28/112

VO GERBITS!

Whitney, dear child, please move yourself. Youre blocking my view of Professor Kelly in her bikini. That andIm missing out on the drama. What use is there being a professor at this school if I do not at least get theopportunity to witness such fine drama once in a while? Professor Peter Boyle added finally, Not tomention witnessing such a fine professor in her bikini.


29/112

Taylor didnt care about anyone else there and set right to groveling, Kelly, I dont know what I wasthinking. I wasnt thinking. It was the stupidest thing Ive ever done. Please, please, PLEASE forgive my

stupid sorry a..

Save it. I dont want to hear it. You told me you wanted a woman to be at your side, but apparently thatwasnt good enough. You can have your dormie trash. Kelly turned and stalked off the lot.

Hey, I heard that! Cherry shouted.


30/112

Charlie man, I dont know what to do. Im miserable without her. I dont want to give up on the GreekHouse, though. I need someone else here to help me out. Uh.. would you consider joining me?

Ever aware, Charlie said on the other end of the line, You want me to be a placeholder, huh?

Uh, thats not what I said, Charlie. Taylor blinked a few times at the phone.

No sweat, Taylor. Its no biggie. Besides, who knows what might come after being a placeholder. Sure, Illjoin your Greek House.


31/112

Charlie, Im going to die if I dont get her back. Shes all I can think about. Taylor was getting rather pitifulabout the whole thing.

Hey, Im just a hot knowledge sim. I dont know that much about women. But, Id say call her up andapologize again, now that youre not smelling like pineapple juice and bubbles, and Cherrys not in thebackground gloating.

Youre brilliant, dude! Taylor rushed off to find the phone.

Hey, does this mean I can eat your grilled cheese sandwich too?


32/112

Okay Taylor. What is it? Professor Kelly hesitantly came over to the house after Taylors call. Charlie wiselydecided to go to class right around then. He might be a knowledge sim, but there were some things he

didnt want to see.

Kelly, please hear me out. No words can ever make up for me being a drunken idiot. I could blame it on thejuice, I could blame it on Cherry, I could blame it on everything under the sun, and that still wouldnt makeup for what I did to you. Taylor took a deep breath and forged ahead, You are all I think about, day andnight. I dont think I can go forward with the legacy if I dont have you at my side, and now that Ive donethe stupidest thing on the planet, I know I may have lost you forever. Please forgive me. I dont want tospend my days without you at my side.


33/112

Perhaps the words were enough. Perhaps it was the contrition in Taylors face. Perhaps it was that she didntwant to be without him either. Whatever it was, Professor Kelly gave a quiet sigh and pulled him close, If I

ever catch you doing something like that again, Im going to feed you to a cowplant, resurrect you and thendo it all over again. For a very, very long time.


34/112

With Taylors relationship with Professor Kelly restored, life returned to a semblance of normal at the GreekHouse. He and Charlie happily continued their success at skilling, studying, and partying. Everyone loved a

good smustle on their front lawn.


35/112

Phi Dagga Katta may have humble beginnings, but its founder and first placeholder earned their rights toadorn the walls for the generations to come.


36/112

Taylor graduated at the top of his class and Summa Cum Laude. Despite his cavalier attitude, Charlie wassad to see the man go. He was aware that as placeholder, he would essentially be frozen in time until

Taylors children came to Sim State.

For Taylors part, he was eager to get on with the meat of his legacy as foretold by the prophecy.


37/112

The move from college to his new home lot was a rather large transition for Taylor. Though he had gottenused to a degree of lawn living with Phi Dagga Katta, he felt as if he should have moved beyond such

meager beginnings.

Voice-in-my-head, are you sure you cant hit me with just one motherlode? Walls would be really nice. Anda bed.

Youll get the bed when you get home from work and we can sell your car. Youre a little late for work andyou need a promotion.

Horrified, Taylor whined, Youre going to sell my car!? But.. but I had a specific want for that car andyoull..

Look, we can either sell the car and get you a bed or you can sleep on the ground when you finally pass

out. Youre not in college anymore. You dont get the sleep on floor option.

FINE.


38/112

Despite his complaints..

Hey, I dont complain that much.

Hush. Despite his complaints, Taylor did settle in to his new life rather easily. A promotion came quickly. Onemore and he could call up Professor Kelly and set the time for their wedding. He couldnt wait until shecould join him. He just hoped she wouldnt be too upset at the accommodations.


39/112

Having a goal like that in mind made the skilling necessary for promotions that much easier. Taylor workedhard to reach the level of physical prowess needed to advance through the military.


40/112

Eventually the time came for the wedding. Since Taylor was a popularity sim, there was no way he wasgoing to get married without having a party. Scraping together his bonuses from his recent promotions (and

the sale of his car), he was able to afford a wedding arch and a buffet. That left no room for chairs, though.No one seemed to mind too much, though.

I, Taylor Legacina, take you, Professor Kelly, to be my wife. To have, to hold, and cherish for all of my simdays.

And I, Professor Kelly Hanby (no relation to Lucy), take you, Taylor Legacina, to be my husband. To have,to hold, and woohoo for all of my sim days.

There was a huge kiss I forgot to photograph, and then much cheering.


41/112

And the first thing Professor Kelly did after kissing Taylor to seal the marriage was to rush over to thecounter and start cleaning it with a flourish of bubbles.

Professor Kelly Hanby Legacina revealed herself to be a popularity sim with the want to have 20 bestfriends. Her attributes were 10 Neat, 7 Outgoing, 3 Active, 4 Playful, and 4 Nice.

With two popularity sims in the house, the phone was going to be getting a definite workout.


42/112

Despite her cleaning fetish and the meager accommodations, the party went off without a hitch. All ofTaylors college friends were there, including Parker Parker and Charlie Thompson. They also happily invitedin Melissa Fancey when she wandered onto the lot.


43/112

Yknow Taylor, I always had a thing for you. I guess I regret I wasnt as forward as Cherry or as lucky asProfessor Kelly. Kenya Jeffries had hit the juice a little too hard and caused an uncomfortable moment.

Uh.. Kenya, youre a pretty girl and I know some sim down the line will take a shine to you, but I valueyour friendship above anything else. And you know Im madly in love with Professor Kelly. Come on, letsplay some red hands. Taylor had learned a little bit of tact over the years.


44/112

When the party was over, Professor Kelly took some time to change her look. Shed left the universitybehind, so there was no reason to keep the same staid look. A wardrobe change and wearing her hair loosergave her a much more relaxed demeanor.


45/112

Kelly... Taylor began hesitantly.

Interrupting him, Professor Kelly said, You know, this may not fit the typical fairy tale a girl has, but this isprobably the happiest day of my life, Taylor. You here by my side, the stars over head, and a phone on thewall that I can use any time I want. Turning towards him, she smiled, I love you.

His response involved no words other than an eventual Woohoo!


46/112

As the days progressed, both Taylor and Professor Kelly worked hard at their respective careers and goals.Taylor was making headway in the military career and was already in line to become a senior officer.Professor Kelly took a job in the athletic career, but was much more focused on making and keeping friends.

Hi Melissa. How are you doing?Its me, Professor Kelly.Professor Kelly Legacina. You know, you were at my wedding the other day.Well, yes, I know we only talked for a moment or two, but I thought we could chat and become bestfrien... Hello? Melissa? Are you there? Oh, she hung up on me.


47/112

Amidst the working, skilling, and talking, there were also nights of loving woohoo between Taylor andProfessor Kelly, leading to something everyone but Professor Kelly seemed to be expecting.

IM PREGNANT!?!

Yes dear, that happens when you woohoo constantly. Birds, bees, and Try For Baby and all that.

TAYLOR!! Im pregnant! Despite her shock, she really was overjoyed about this whole thing.


48/112

Taylor was also thrilled with the prospect of becoming a daddy. With a baby on the way, he made sure towork hard enough so that they could put some walls up and paint the place so it would be more like a realhome.

Hi little baby. Im your daddy. Were gonna have so much fun, you and me. Taylor loved rubbing ProfessorKellys tummy and talking to the baby.

Hee... Taylor, that t ickles. I hope you still feel this way when you have to change her stinky diaper.

Her? What if its a him. We should probably start talking about names, Kelly.

Hmm. What about Sassafras?

Uh... Taylor could tell this was going to be a long discussion.


49/112

Quicker than could be expected, the day arrived. Kelly was less than thrilled with the whole concept of labor.

AAAAAHHHRRG! THIS HURTS! TAYLOR!!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!

Oh my, what do you want me to do? Kelly? Kelly?!? Taylor leapt from the couch, rushing to her side.

YOU CAN DIE! AIEEEE! PAINFULLY!


50/112

Luckily for everyone involved, the sim birthing process is relatively quick, despite what any sim motherthinks. In the blink of an eye Professor Kelly was holding their new daughter in her hands.

What should we name her, Taylor? You didnt like any of my names, so you choose. Professor Kelly wasastoundingly serene after her initial outburst.

Beaming with pride but approaching with caution, Taylor asked, What do you think of the name Zoey?

I think thats perfect. Welcome little Zoey Legacina, our first legacy born child.

Thanks voice-in-my-head. I know I like it. Taylor smiled down at his daughter.

Taylor, who are you talking to?

Uh...


51/112

With Zoey snug in her crib, the two legacy lovebirds cuddled together in bed. Taylor suddenly and adoringlylooked at Professor Kelly and said, I think we should have another one.

So soon? But Kelly was smiling.

Grinning, he replied, Yeah. At least, it sure cant hurt to try. I like the trying part.


52/112

And try they did. Pretty much everywhere in the house. Thankfully Zoey was far too young to walk in onthem during this time.


53/112

Time passed quickly, and a day arrived that Taylor had been looking forward to since the moment he knewProfessor Kelly was pregnant the chance to throw a birthday party!


54/112

All the regulars from college came to the party. Parker Parker, Gavin Miller, Whitney Buckingham, and so on.

Charlie Thompson looked on with a grin, knowing that it wouldnt be that long before Zoey would grow upand join him at college, letting him get on with his life as she took over the Greek House. I hope sheshot.

CHARLIE!!

Well, I do. Dont be a hater cause Im honest.

For heavens sake...


55/112

While I wouldnt use the term hot at this stage of Zoeys life, she was definitely a child Id call cute.Adorable is also appropriate. Look at those cute widdle ears and those big blue eyes. Gotta love cutetoddlers.

Cute as a button and mean as a hornet. Zoeys personality turned out to be 5 Neat, 5 Outgoing, 9 Active, 5Playful and 1 Nice.


56/112

Completely on her own, Zoey started making friends. Going up to Parker Parker and pulling on his pant leg,she demanded to be picked up.

Well hello, little one. Im Uncle Parker. No remember, no matter what anyone says, nudity is OKAY. Itscompletely natural, right?

Goo!

Exactly!

All in all, the party was a complete success. The cops even came to break it up at midnight. You know howout of hand those toddler birthday parties get.


57/112

The next span of time was spent helping Zoey learn everything she needed to in her toddler years. Eventhough Professor Kelly teased him about how much work a baby was, Taylor quite happily stepped in to bethe one to teach Zoey most of her toddler skills.


58/112

Wha... Kelly blinked down at her stomach. Taylor! Im pregnant! How did this happen!?

For an intelligent sim, Professor Kelly could be a bit dense at times. It wasnt like she and Taylor were being

cautious in their attempts at having another child.


59/112

Woo! Were gonna have a baby! Were gonna have a baby! VO GERBITS! Even with the mystifying shockProfessor Kelly professed, she was delighted that they had conceived another baby.

Kelly, uhm.. maybe.. maybe you shouldnt dance quite like that. It cant be good for the baby, can it?


60/112

Zoey may have been a bit too young to understand why her mother was dancing, but she could at least getinto the whole dancing thing.

Isnt toddler dancing one of the cutest things youve ever seen?


61/112

Time marches on, and it was soon time to throw another birthday party. Everyone was invited, both oldcollege friends, and new townie friends. Professor Kelly even relented and let Taylor invite Cherry this time.


62/112

It seems like just yesterday she was a cute little baby. Oh wait, that was yesterday. Either way, Zoey grewup into an adorable child. One of the cutest Ive ever had, certainly.

Hey, youre the voice daddy calls voice-in-my-head, right? Can I just call you voice?

Sure kid.

Alright! Want some cake?


63/112

Over in the kitchen, Cherry sat munching on some potato chips. Or possibly cookies. They areindistinguishable from chips.

So. This is what they call domestic bliss? Man, to think that this all could have been mine. Stinky diapers,spoiled bottles, tacky kitchen furniture, full time job. Yeesh. What the heck was I thinking? Im glad hedidnt want me.

Ahh Cherry. The tact of romance sim faced with domestic bliss. Not this generation at least.


64/112

Soon after Zoeys birthday party, Professor Kelly gave birth to their second daughter, Victoria Legacina.Being that the narrator is a bit new at this, she forgot to get pictures of the birth, or any decent pictures of

Victoria as a baby. This is probably the best one, where Professor Caryl came to visit and took it upon

herself to feed the baby.


65/112

With Zoey a child and in school, it was time to ensure that she got the best education possible. This meantinviting the headmaster of the local private school over. BJ Ryan apparently drew the short straw.

Man, Ive heard what nightmares some of these legacy families can be. Im really not looking forward tothis. If I dont make it out alive, tel l my mother I loved her.

BJ, youre being overly dramatic. There are no cowplants on this lot anyway.


66/112

When all was said and done, the tour had been given, the meal had been served (unburnt) and BJ waspleasantly surprised.

Mrs. Legacina, well be proud to admit young Zoey to our student body. The Legacinas are just the type offamily our school looks to foster.

Uhm.. Thanks, I think, Mr. Ryan.


67/112

Babies grow so fast, and it was soon time to have another party. In most sim homes Ive observed (played),the baby-toddler transition is a quiet one, shared among the immediate family and perhaps a close friend ortwo. Not among the Legacinas. Put two popularity sims in a house and EVERYTHING is an opportunity to

have a party.

This time Professor Kelly took the honors of inviting the guests. Continuing to work her way towards herlifetime goal of having twenty best friends, she invited some new folks, including the infamous Sandy Bruty.


68/112

Victoria apparently did not want to grow up, though. The first birthday cake earned cheering and singing,but she refused to be tossed. Taylor realized she needed a diaper change and a bottle first. Throughout thiswhole process, the entire party followed him around, continuing to cheer and try and encourage Victoria into

transitioning.

Eventually, she gave in and transitioned into a toddler.


69/112

Again, it was Taylor who took on the responsibility of seeing that Victoria learned everything she needed to.Although she was almost identical* to Zoey, she also seemed to want to take her own sweet time learningsome skills.

*Curse of the Clones - I misunderstood the steps needed to be taken to avoid having the second child be aclone of the first, so Zoey and Victoria ended up with the exact same personality.


70/112

Despite her stubbornness, Taylor eventually succeeded in making sure Victoria learned everything sheshould to become a happy child.


71/112

Just in time, too. Again, all the familiar faces were invited, turning the birthday into a festive event.

Charlie watched on with a grin, Man, I hope she ends up hot too. Itll be like living with twins. Whoa

mama.

Charlie! Come on man, shes a toddler. Its kinda creepy.

Look, just because a guy can plan for the future doesnt mean you should hate on him.

Man, Im glad my founder wasnt female. I probably would have married you in, and who knows what thatwould have led to.

Good reading for sure.


72/112

Victoria transitioned without a hitch and quickly introduced herself to everyone, including Charlie.

Hi, Im Victoria. She looked him up and down and stated succinctly, Im going to marry you.

Whoa.. hang on a sec, kid. Voice was calling me creepy, now youre creeping me out. Who said anythingabout marriage? Charlie was getting a little nervous.

Dont worry. Youll like it. First I gotta grow up, though. Okay, bye mister. I gotta go eat cake.


73/112

Taylor? Professor Kelly mused thoughtfully after everyone had gone home, Do you think we should haveanother baby?

Gah.. no. Im happy with two. Those two are going to be a handful on their own. Taylor continued paintinghis llama.

Oh well. I suppose youre right. There was a long, thoughtful pause. Does this mean we shouldntwoohoo as much anymore?

Wha? Oh heck no. We can have a dozen more kids if no more kids means no more woohoo.


74/112

Luckily for Taylor, more woohoo didnt necessarily mean more kids. The two he had were quite enough.

Listen lady, I know they hired you to watch me while theyre both at work, but I dont want your pies, your

crepes, or your friendship. Someday, when I rule the world.. No, not the world, the UNIVERSE, youre gonnahave to go into hiding. Zoey told me how you put me on the floor and left rotten food all over the house.


75/112

Mr. Legacina, that Nanny looked a touch frightened when she ran out of here. Is there anything else Ishould know? BJ had come by to see whether they wanted to allow Victoria to come to their school as well.

Oh, it was probably nothing. You know those nannies and their bl... bingo nights. Taylor cast a skywardglance towards the ceiling and the girls room above. He could command an army, but he couldnt controltwo small girls.

In that case, well be proud to admit Victoria to our ranks.

Whew!


76/112

Oddly enough, as mean as the two girls were, they got along famously. They often played cops and robbersin the yard, shooting and killing each other continuously. What was funny was that the winner would alwaysrun over and KICK the one lying on the ground. They thought this was hilarious and did it for hours on end.


77/112

Hey Zoey. The voice says youre gonna be heir, cause you were first born and were xactly the same.Victoria commented this as they played, her toy horse stomping peasants into the ground.

Yeah. I dont think it matters, though. I mean, you can still try and take over the world even if youre notheir. Daddy said something about the not-heir getting something called motherlode, which sounds way cool.Zoeys rocketship blasted off into space, hurtling towards an unsuspecting space station about to beexploded into smithereens.

Universe, Zoey. I want to rule the Universe.


78/112

Evil incarnate and the best of friends.

Well, I guess I shouldnt call them evil. Theyre not exactly evil. They just have a different way of looking at

the world.


79/112

Being popularity sims, Taylor and Professor Kelly often brought friends from work home. One of the friendsthat often accompanied Professor Kelly was Ahbijeet Depiesse.

Hi Mr. Depiesse. Are you staying for dinner again tonight?

Hiya Zoey. Hey Zoey, did I ever tell you about the time I was in the 18th Airborne Infantry and we went upagainst the Gnomes of Hochtenstein?

Yes Mr. Depiesse. Several times.

Oh. He paused, and then started in on the story anyway, It was a horribly stormy night, but it was perfectcover for our planes...


80/112

The years of Zoeys childhood had raced by, and now it was time to grow into a teenager. The regular crewwas there, as might be expected. Man, these parties were getting to be old hat. Its definitely a good thingfor the narrators sanity that there werent more children.

Taylor whispers, Psst, voice-in-my-head. I know for a fact that you like the parties as much as we do. Sohush.

Quiet, you.


81/112

WOO! Im a teenager! Look at me, Victoria! Im a teenager. Im HOT! The candles were blown out andZoey quickly raced into the kitchen to tell her best friend and little sister.

Yeah, big deal. Youve got boobs now. Ill get them too. Now stand back. Im trying to cause my brain todevelop mind control powers by forcing the blood to my head.


82/112

Out in the living room, Professor Kelly kicked the party into high gear by starting to freestyle. Thisapparently is a great party pasttime, since everyone gets entertained and starts taking turns with their ownraps.

Yo, Professor Kelly in the HOUSE! I got two girls, I got my man, I got my friends, I got my phone. Try andtake them from me and Ill growl like a dog with a bone!


83/112

Parker Parker speaking now, and Im gonna tell ya totally how! Im wearin clothes cause the man says hearrest me, but I dont feel me less little Parker Parker is swingin free.

Ivy looked at Taylor, Is he rapping about his .. uhm.. member?

Taylor blinked, Huh? Oh, yeah. Thats Parker. As if that explained everything.


84/112

Sandy Bruty, hot patootie! Big fish lips, and killer hips!

Kelly.. you can stop now. Besides, Ive had a hand in some rather well known legacies myself. Its not like

my looks were a detriment to them. Sandy knew Kelly really didnt mean any harm, but she did get a bitdefensive.


85/112

After the party, Zoey spent most of the evening checking hersel f out in the mirror.

Daaaamn am I hot. Look out boys, here I come! Hey! Maybe daddy will let me borrow a tank or at least a

bazooka. Thatll be sure to attract some hot boys, and then we can go blow stuff up!

For the record, Zoey rolled Pleasure and her lifetime want is to become a General, just like her daddy. To bequite honest, Im kinda scared at the idea of a pleasure sim who wants to be in the military. You know therehas to be a certain enjoyment of explosives in that case.


86/112

Speaking of the military...

Taylor had reached the top of his career and earned his lifetime want, but had started to feel some pressure

about his line of work.

Look Taylor. Wasimington brass just doesnt see eye to eye with you. Cant you let it go and move on? Ivywas probably his closest friend at work.

Its not fair, Ivy. It was a brilliant idea. Cell phones for everyone in the military was a perfect idea. Im justgoing to retire early and go into a different line of work. Taylor had made up his mind.


87/112

Luckily for him, it was a smooth transition from the military to the world of high business. After dealing withgenerals, politicians and foreign operatives, dealing with some businessmen was a piece of cake.

Subsequently, he also earned a big bonus right off the bat, which ended up helping finish off the Legacinahome.


88/112

While Taylor switched jobs, the girls continued on with their daily routines, including playing chess andcheating horribly with each other.

Zoey, I dont see anything over there.

Keep looking, Vic. Im sure I saw a social bunny with your name on it.


89/112

What do you mean it s snowing outside? We dont have seasons yet.

I swear! I just saw some snowflakes fall. Victoria quickly swapped a couple of pieces.

They did this constantly with each other.


90/112

On the night before Victorias birthday, Professor Kelly began having nightmares. Something was wrong andit worked its way deep into her psyche. The only thing she could get from the dream, though, was thatsomething was going to happen to Sandy.


91/112

Sandy was at the party the following night, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. In fact, it seemed like itwas destined to be a roofraiser party.

Cmon, mom. Were just waiting for you! Despite her nonplussed attitude towards Zoeys growth into ateenager, Victoria honestly couldnt wait to get boobs either.


92/112

Victoria grew up well, and with some style. Most teens seem to grow up in rather hideous outfits that theythrow on without thinking about it. Not our Victoria. She chose one of my favorite styles.

She also, for the record, rolled Fortune, with the lifetime want to earn $100,000. She may need to take alesson or two with Dr. Evil if she thinks that will help her take over the Universe.


93/112

At one point during the party, Professor Kelly tried to talk to Sandy about her concerns, but Sandy was moreinterested in starting a pillow fight than talking about silly nightmares.

Ominous music played in the distance. What? Why are you looking at me like that?


94/112

It would be the last birthday the house would see for a while to come. After all, both girls would be headedto college before turning into adults, and it was still some time before Taylor and Professor Kelly would befacing their own birthdays to elderhood.

The girls helped make sure it was a party to remember.


95/112

Life settled into a semblance of normal, with everyone working on their different skills and careers. Ahbijeetwas still a regular visitor, but they learned the depths of his gnome problem when he began stealing theirlawn gnomes, right in front of them.

Hehehe... evil, evil things. Must .. destroy...

Dad, Mr. Deppiesse is talking to himself again. Victoria whispered to her father as they both painted.

Shhh. I know, honey. Just ignore him. Well get another one when he takes this one home.


96/112

Must... kill... them all...

Psst. Vic.. Mr. Deppiesse is taking another gnome.

I know. Dad says just ignore him. Hes harmless. If he comes near me, though, this brush is going into hiseye socket.


97/112

Zoey, being a pleasure sim, had boys and dates on her mind. Eventually, when no suitable boys werepresenting themselves at her beck and call, she consulted with an expert on the issue.

I know the perfect boy for you, my dear. You two will get along just fabulously. Now, if we could just havethat donation we discussed? The old lady was a shrewd one.

Okay, okay. Just as long as I get my first kiss, kay?


98/112

Unfortunately, Zoey and her blind date, Kent Midlock, didnt really see eye to eye. Before they even made itinto the front door, Zoey had pulled him into a headlock and started noogieing him.

The gypsy rolled her eyes and walked away, Good luck with that one.


99/112

Kent eventually did make it into the house, but only to come face-to-face with the other Legacina sister.

I heard you wouldnt kiss my sister, dork. Do you know what I do to people who mess with my sister?

AAGH! You people are crazy! Please stop giving me noogies and let me go home!

Eventually they let Kent out of the house alive.


100/112

Trying again, Zoey started hanging around with George McCarthy, a sim she met downtown. They seemedto get along well enough, and he even proposed that they go out on a date that night.

Well, its after curfew...

So? I didnt think youd let that stop a girl like you.

Well, no, I didnt mean that. I just... Of course Ill go out with you.


101/112

That night, Zoey made sure she was ready for George to pick her up. She even conned her parents intoletting her meditate out by the mailbox. It was some excuse about needing to see the stars or some such.They fell for it, and she got to sneak off into the night with George.


102/112

Unfortunately, the date didnt go nearly as well as she planned.


103/112

Oh man. Theyre gonna kill me. Theyre gonna ground me and then kill me. Then theyre going to groundme again. And I still didnt even get a kiss out of him. Come on, Im supposed to be the hot one.

Looking up at the sky, Zoey whined, Voice, you said I was the heir. Why cant I get any of the good stuff tohappen to me? I just wanted a date and I ended up getting busted by the cops.

Cheer up, kid. Life gets better after high school, I promise. College will probably be a ton of fun for you.


104/112

The next morning, Zoey contemplated the way things were going. There was still a little bit of time beforeshe needed to leave to go to college, but what would it hurt to go early? After all, the voice said college wasa lot more fun than high school.

I didnt quite mean it like that, Zoey.

Yeah, but I got busted for sneaking out on a date. If I go to college, I can stay up as late as I want and dowhatever I want, cant I? And heck, I can even woohoo, right?

Well... yeah.


105/112

That settles it, then. Im going to college and no one can stop me. Im outta here, man.

Wow. I never thought it would be that easy to convince a pleasure sim to go to college.

Wait.. what did you say?

Too late, kid. You already called the taxi.


106/112

Maaaan. This sucks. Now Ive got to go to four more years of school, just because some stupid voice in myhead conned me into thinking it was the right idea. Stupid voice.

Nyah nyah. I know you are, but what am I?


107/112

With Zoey off to college, Victoria decided to do some hormone inducing experimentation of her own.

So, George. I hear you got busted before you could kiss my sister. That true? Victoria batted her eyelashes

at the young store clerk.

Well, I meant to kiss her, so dont noogie me, okay? George was a bit nervous. Hed heard about theKents experience with the Legacina girls.


108/112

Okay. But youre going to make up for it by kissing at least one Legacina, and I dont mean my dad. Thehearts began flying as Victoria made her move. Subtle as a sledgehammer, that one.

Luckily for George, he was agreeable to this particular proposition.


109/112

It feels so strange to have our daughters growing up like this, Kelly. I mean, it seems like just yesterdaythey were in diapers and playing cops and robbers. Professor Kelly and Taylor took advantage of theirnearly empty nest to make with the nookie in random places in the house again.

Well, we *could* always keep trying for another baby. Kelly smiled slyly as she leaned in to nuzzle herhusband.

I thought you were a little too close to your birthday to have another baby, sweetie?

Sure, but that doesnt mean we can t try, does it? Kelly arched an eyebrow at Taylor.

Oh... OH! Heheh. Woo and a hoo, then, hmm?


110/112

OH MY GOD, Zoey! You will never believe what they were doing when I got home from school today.RIGHT THERE ON THE POOL TABLE!!!! Im like never going to be able to play pool again. Victoria called hersister in a quite frantic state.

I dont care if its early, I am so coming to join you today. I dont want to see wrinkly old butts doing thattype of thing again, and certainly not the wrinkly old butts of my parents.


111/112

Before the end of the day, the taxi arrived to whisk Victoria off to join her sister at Sim State. While bothparents felt a little sad to be wishing their baby daughter farewell as she went off to college, Victoria couldhear the giddy giggles before the door closed behind her.

Gah. And they say teenagers are hormonal.


112/112

And so concludes the first chapter of the Pseudo Legacy. Taylor and Professor Kelly both succeeded at theirlifetime wants, while their two, nearly identical daughters grew up and went off to college to start their ownlives. What will the future hold? Will the enemies of Taylors past resurface? Can the prophecy handle aviolent pleasure sim as its next heir? Will Taylor and Professor Kelly ever tire of Trying for Baby?

I hope you enjoyed this first foray into the world of legacies and join me for Chapter Two, which should beup relatively soon. Please feel free to leave a comment in my guest book.
