2. Now that I have a Legacy and an apocalypse challenge done, itโs time to move on to the final
legacy-based challenge of the Sims 2 that I will get around to complete: an alphabet legacy.
Including the founder, thatโs 27 generations of a single theme. For mine, Iโve chosen Degrassi
as the theme because the entire franchise has tons of names I can power through.
Couple things to keep in mind that will make this different from an alphabet legacy back ten
years ago: (1) no simselves will marry in and (2) heirs will not be voted for. These were all
and good gameplay elements back when the community was more active, but until then it
just makes more sense to play and update on my own.
๏
3. Every good legacy starts with a founder, and here is my third published one: Canadian Degrassi.
โAs opposed to what other kind, eh?โ
Canadian is a scorpio (8/3/9/3/2) and a fortune sim who wants to own 5 top level businesses. His turn-ons are being
high up in your career and fitness while his turn off is stink.
4. โYou can really tell weโre in Canada on account of the hail.โ
Even my apocalypse challenge didnโt get off to such a rough start. I forget that with seasons comes weather (I should have put
the bed in a room, but I ran out of money).
โThatโs okay, I forgive ya.โ
You have two nice points; stop being so kind.
5. Canadian got a job in law because he canโt afford to start a business, at least not at this moment.
โNow thatโs just not right. I can start a business from home.โ
If you were a romance sim, maybeโฆ have you woohoo anyone who comes by for gold stars.
6. I deleted all of the townies in this neighbourhood and had the game generate 30 new ones. This one is named Jordan
Collin. As you can tell by my ability to remember her name, she will be important laterโฆ you knowโฆ because wife.
7. โMaybe I can have an art studio and sell a few paintings.โ
Maybe you can top your career first and then weโll talk.
8. So by she would be important later, I meant that within a week of in-game play, I finally called her back up to start up a
romance. Most of the sims generated were all old ladies. Canโt exactly do anything with thatโฆ unless I cheated them
back down to adulthood.
9. Jordan: Did you just pass gas?
Canadian: I live in a shack in the middle of nowhere, eh. Donโt expect much from me.
10. Thank you ACR for making legacies easier since whenever you were first released.
11. Jordan moved in with a good $13000 so I did a few upgrades to the house. No kid room yet, though.
12. And I did a few upgrades to her. Jordan Collin:
Leo (4/10/4/4/3)
Popularity sim; wants 20 best friends
Likes underwear and hats but not swimwear
Working in the slacker career.
16. Of course, with alphabet legacies there are a few rules. Three kids minimum per generation (as opposed to 2 in a normal
legacy) as well as twins every eighth generation or so (so generations H, P, and X).
17. Canadian: Honey, are you helping to make works for my art studio?
Jordan: Of course, dear.
19. And then Canadian left us aloneโฆ. To go to work. Jordan threw up because she managed to get pregnant. Good sim!
Jordan: This is awful.
Think of it as a new best friend.
20. Jordan: A new best friend, huh?
Well, one that will eventually hate your guts.
21. Jordan: I think I should take a break from painting.
Canadian: Nonsense; paint fumes are good for the fetus.
22. Jordan: Should I still be going to work like this?
If you mean in your underwear, no. I donโt know how you managed not to get fired.
23. You guys know you canโt get pregnant right now. Why are you doing this?
24. Of course Jordan would go into labour while cooking food. Please donโt start a fire.
Canadian: I have experience with fires!
Starting them. You canโt seem to put one out to save your life.
25. And here is the first baby of the legacy: Adam Degrassi. Cancer (8/3/2/4/8).
Named for Adam Torres from seasons 10-13 of the third franchise (Degrassi: The Next Generation/Degrassi/Degrassi:
Next Class). Adam is a female-to-male transgender student who transferred in at the start of tenth grade along with his
older step-brother Drew because of being bullied. His main plots were about his inability to find a relationship because
of being trans as well as harassment from other students. Eventually he found a stable relationship with Becky Baker,
but died early into season 13 during an operation to stop the swelling in his brain as a result of a car crash because he
was texting and driving. He was played by actress Jordan Todosey.
26. And a baby means needing to upgrade the house! Second story!
27. And I also need two more kids out of this generation to get things started!
28. Jordan: Is it weird that I have the same name as the actress who played you?
Adam: *drools*
29. Jordan: Crap; I donโt want to go into labour again.
Canadian: But we just spin out our babies.
Jordan: Yeah, well we donโt have actual sex either so take your non-existent dick and shove it up your non-existent ass.
30. Adam: *drools some more*
I feel like this is offensive because you were pretty much brain-dead in your final episodeโฆ oh well, toddler Adam! I will
leave things here mostly because I finished playing at this point, but also because I want to take a bit longer with this
challenge compared to the others. It will be much longer to play no matter what, but I feel like I tend to rush things and
donโt get emotionally attached to my sims like other people do. I feel like both of my final chapters of my legacy and
apocalypse didnโt really feel like proper endings and I want this one to feel right, if you know what I mean.
