The Lazlo Legacy--Charity 3.1

The Lazlo Legacy--Honor 3.1

The Lazlo Legacy—Faith 2.4

Welcome back to the Lazlo Legacy. This week, we are visiting Faith’s lot which is now short one child. Last week, Faith’s eldest, Grace, moved in with her boyfriend Sean’s family and got engaged.

Upon entering the house, the first thing I see is Charity talking to TheSituation! I was thrilled because I thought he had been deleted from the game. It looks like my plan to have Charity marry her Imaginary Friend is back on!

The Lazlo Legacy—Grace 3.1

Welcome back to The Lazlo Legacy. This week we are visiting the lot of Grace Russell.

Grace immediately tries to get on the good side of her mother-in-law-to-be, Hilary Bumgarner, by cooking breakfast.

The Lazlo Legacy-Faith 2.3

Hello, and welcome back to the Lazlo Legacy. I know it has been a while since I posted, but Pets was recently released, and new expansion packs always make me lonely for my Lazlos. Twallan, awesome modder god that he is, has already updated his Story Progression Mod for Pets. I opened up the Lazlo save and played it without any problems. This update and the next one were actually played before Pets came out, so we won’t see any of the new features. Anyway, let’s get on with it…

Last time we visited the Russells, Grace had just had a dream prom with her boyfriend Sean Bumgarner. She immediately rolled this wish:

Slow down, missy! You aren’t even out of high school yet! We are still practicing Strict Family Values, so no ringy, no dingy!

The Lazlo Legacy–Faith 2.2

Back at the Russell house, we’re madly trying to skill up three toddlers in three days.Thank goodness it is Sunday so that Grace is home to help out.

The Lazlo Legacy–Faith 2.1

Welcome back to the Lazlo Legacy. I know it’s been a long time since the last real post. You’re probably wondering why this entry is titled 2.1 rather than 3.2. I have been using Twallan’s Story Progression Mod to play multiple households in the same neighborhood. The mod has an option called “Stasis” that prevents a family from progressing while it is not being played. I plan to use this option so that I can play every descendant of Justice Lazlo.

So that Faith, Mason, Chance, and Nichol don’t get short shrift, I’ve aged them back down to Young Adult using Twallan’s Master Controller mod. Of course, I could have used the Young Again lifetime reward or the chemistry table to accomplish this, but frankly I didn’t want to wait for them to earn enough happiness points or to learn the potions.

I have also moved the family to a new neighborhood, Harmony by Magic_Dancer.

I mentioned this in the comments, but I want to reiterate here that the focus of this blog has shifted from its original purpose. I had intended to do a straight Legacy Challenge, but I get so darned attached to my Simmies that I don’t want to turn them over to the Time Stream. From the beginning I have always wanted to accomplish three things: 

1) Achieve every Lifetime Wish.

2) Max every skill (including completing all of the skill challenges).

3) Get to the top of every career.

Once these three things have been accomplished, I’ll bring the Lazlos’ story to a close. But that’s a long time off because we know EA is going to release at least one more expansion pack which is sure to come with new LTWs and hopefully new careers and skills.

Ok, enough babbling. Let’s get on with the show…

Welcome to the Russells’ new home. This lot is called the “Beach Mansion.” Most of the lots you will see come with Harmony. There are a few I have added from other neighborhoods, so I will point them out as we come across them.

The Lazlo Legacy 3.1

Your eyes do not deceive you. This is Chapter 3.1, which means Guardian is taking over the Legacy reins. So without further ado, let’s get on with his Young Adult birthday.

Say goodbye to teenaged Guardian…

The Lazlo Legacy 2.6

Last week in the Lazlo-Russell Household, Faith and Mason Russell started their family. Mason is a Family-Oriented Sim, so he generously doted on his mother-to-be.

The Lazlo Legacy 2.5

Last week in the Lazlo household, Adaeze passed away. Faith used her mom's death as an opportunity to move in and marry her boyfriend, Mason Russell. Faith and Mason quickly wed, and Faith painted his portrait. Mason's portrait is now my favorite portrait in the family. I wish the others were as clear.

The Lazlo Legacy 2.4

Last week, Adaeze Min-Lazlo reached the age of 200 and the death watch began.

Adaeze senses she is near the end, so she spends the week painting portraits of her grandchildren. She captures Guardian reading a book...

The Lazlo Legacy 2.2

Week 12 in the Lazlo household begins with Adaeze completing portraits of her daughters. First, she completes a portrait of her daughter, Faith.

The Lazlo Legacy 1.10

Week 10 in the Lazlo Household starts very early Monday. In fact, Adaeze and her children are all having a midnight snack.

The Lazlo Legacy 1.9

I have to say I <3 this game. Something happened this week that totally had me laughing out loud. I don't know if it was a fluke or intentionally programmed, but it was awesome. Unfortunately, you're going to have to wait until the end of this post to find out what it was!

We start the week with Justice heading off to his new job as an Astronaut. Yes, he reached the top of the Military career. So, I had a total RTFM moment here. I was all excited about Justice only working one day a week.  That meant he had six full days to skill, skill, skill. Anyway, he left the house at 6 am, but didn't show up at 1PM. I got a little nervous and was wondering what was going on, especially since his needs were dropping. I had recently installed Ambitions so I thought it was a glitch. I looked back at his career panel and noticed his hours were 7AM - 1AM. *Doh!* 1 AM, not 1 PM. *slaps forehead* So, while it's nice that Astronauts only work one day a week, that one day is an eighteen hour shift!
