HELLO ALL! You may know me from 'all my heart desires', or 'An Insane Legacy!' or 'one hundred!? a challenge blog', but you probably don't! Anyway..
So I was getting a little bored with 'all my heart desires' (more specifically, frustrated because my game is slow and irritating), and wanted something a little.. crazier. So one day (specifically two days ago), I spent literally all day making a gorgeous founder for, what? I toyed with the idea of a regular legacy, a traitacy, another wishacy but with a funny spin, but the one that kept coming back to me was 'uglacy'. I mean, really, looking at her - how could I waste such beauty by letting it continue over generations? This way, she stands out by herself, set apart from the pack.
Actually, to be honest, the entire reason I made her was because I'd just downloaded several new hairs and wanted to play with them..
SO, here's what I made. I'll give you a better view of her face next, I forgot to put them in the right order.
This is Talulla Ar Mire (Ar Mire = nuts/insane in Irish), and her outhouse, fridge, and sleeping bag. (Yay, I didn't call it a suitcase! I always call sleeping bags suitcases. It would be hard to sleep in a suitcase.)
Tal: So, I could have absolutely whatever I wanted, every little whim and wish granted, I could have married whoever I wished.. and instead you decide I have to marry the ugliest man you can find in Riverview? You're cruel, you know that, right?
Hey, believe me, it could be worse. I could have made this a prettacy.
Tal: How is that worse?! I would have gotten to marry a gorgeous man of my dreams, a prince charming, a-
It's WORSE, because you would have been hideous, yourself.
Tal: ... carry on.
Okay, thank you. Anyway, isn't her little outhouse cute? It has a shower and everything.
Here's a close-up of the beauty. I debated giving her the custom freckly skin I adore, but then if any of her babies or grandbabies or great-grandbabies or-
Tal: Let's go with 'descendents', it takes less time.
Yeah, let's go with that. If any of her descendents got the skin, it would detract from their possible ugly, because it would add a cute factor. And since Riverview doesn't have a plethora of 'unique' Sims like Twinbrook does, I'm gonna need all the help I can get here.
Tal: If you wanted to make my descendents all as ugly as possible, why did you pick Riverview of all places to plant me in?
Because, dear Talulla, I wanted a challenge. AND to see if I can prove my point that sometimes, two attractive or moderately attractive Sims can produce an ugly child. I mean, you see the opposite with uglacies all the time! Marry two ugly Sims, get cute kids.
Tal: So I still may get to marry a handsome man?!
Haha, don't count on it.
Tal: ... finewhatever, how about you actually talk about me now? Our readers know nothing about me but my name and that I'm beautiful and my beauty is going to be.. wasted.
Don't think of it as it being wasted, think if it as your beauty being highlighted!
Tal: That would make me feel better if I was a SNOB.
Okay, okay, I take that as a hint to talk about your traits and stuff. How about you go get a job while I tell everyone about you? Since I always follow wishes for the most part whether I'm playing a wishacy or not, get whatever job strikes your fancy.
Talulla.. Talulla... why are you at the Doo Peas Corporate Towers?
Tal: Because I'm going to be a business woman, since they're always gorgeous and I will be perfectly appreciated here. Why?
Because business is one of my least favorite careers.. it's boooooring. XP
Tal: Oh, blah blah blah you you. You said I could do what I wanted career-wise, and this is what I want. So just.. anyway, I thought you were going to talk about me and not complain about my choices, hmm?
Right, right.. ahem. So evidently, I shouldn't have made her ambitious, because that made her want to be a business woman. Okay, the business career isn't that bad, but it IS boring. She's also handy, which I did since for a while she's going to have the cheapest of everything, and we all know how those break.
Tal: Well, at least I'll probably master handiness quickly..
Shush! Focus on your interview!
Since she's Irish, I decided to give her lucky, even though 'the luck of the Irish' is actually their bad luck, not their good luck, not that anyone thinks that when they hear that phrase (at least, my Dad always tells me it's their bad luck). Plus, I thought since I'm making her marry an ugly man (or, who knows, the ugliest one in town MAY be a woman..), I'll make up for it by making her lucky. The next trait is computer whiz, because that way she can make money by hacking, and build up her handiness skill by overclocking. Win-win, right?
And finally, her last trait iiiis.. dun, dun, DUNNN... hopeless romantic, because we all know she'll have to be.
So, by the grin, I'm guessing you got the job?
Tal: Why yes, I did! I'm going to love it here, I can already tell. Even if I'm just a Coffee Courier, I won't be for long if I have anything to say about it.
At least it's money. Ready to go man-hunting?
Tal: Umno. It's only my first day in town, I want some freedom before I'm tied down! I'm going to go to the library and read a handiness book. Since I want to take a class and learn handiness, but I only have 46 simoleans since someone thought it was important to give my outhouse a 'finished' look. IT'S AN OUTHOUSE. You're just going to tear it down later!
YEAHWELL, you're the one who will get the negative moodlet about 'unfinished room' if you go in a room that doesn't have finished walls or a floor, so don't give me that. You can take your handiness class after you have the money for it.
Tal: While I'm doing that, you can tell about the rest of me.
TAL! LOOK! PEOPLE! Lots of them! I think it's the entire Broke clan!
Tal: I think they all came to see who the new beauty in town was. I would introduce myself, but none of them are ugly enough for you, are they? So I'm just going to read my handiness book - what kind of a title is Unplug it First, anyway? Everyone knows to unplug things before you fix 'em, or you may get electrocuted.
Eeeh, not all Sims are as handy as you, so not all of them know that. There are enough electrocuted ghosts to prove that. OH, I know, maybe I'll have you have kids with a ghost, they're always pretty ugly. At least in Sunset Valley and Twinbrook they are.
Talulla's life time wish is to be 'The Tinkerer', because I've never completed that one. I don't think I've even HAD a Sim with that one before, tbh. She's an Aquarius, and likes electronica, key lime pie (about half of the Sims I make like key lime pie), and the color spice brown. There you have it, all about her.
Tal: You're not very funny, you know. For a supposedly 'funny' uglacy blog, this is rather boring.
I know. Shut up. ToT
So, while she's busy with that, I'll go spouse-hunting. This is one of those moments that I am very glad I have several of the NRaas mods! Yay for seeing Sims from map view!
Hm.. Ron Lee, the repairman. Kind of a cutie, actually. Probably wouldn't make the prettiest of children, but not ugly by any stretch. Next.
Salim Chalhoum, tourist. YOU.. YOU... you and all your other generic townie friends GET OUT OF MY GAME. I'm tired of you, even if you're pretty, you're SO BORING and ALL OF MY RANDOM TOWNIES LOOK LIKE YOU. ARGH.
Tal: Someone has issues.
BLAH.
Odin Crosby. Pretty. Too in love with his wife.
Tal: Oh, oh, I know! Bill Caspian!?
He's not even close to being in the running. He's freaking gorgeous.
Tal: Well I tried..
WAIT. I think I found.. THE ONE..
Tal: Oh no..
Oh yes!
Walter Grisby. Okay, so he's not the most ugly Sim ever, but he's a good start, right? He's our number one possibility. Quick, Talulla, you gained your handiness skill, go introduce yourself!
Tal: Okay, okay, fine, but it may take a little bit, I'm at the library and he's at the museum!
Oh it's not that far.
See? That didn't take long at all, I missed you introducing yourself while I was typing this up.. (yes, I'm playing at the same time as I'm writing this. I like window mode, window mode is my frieeeeend.)
LOOK AT THAT NOSE. THOSE EARS. LOOK AT THEM. Gold!
Tal: Yes but he's married. And he has a teenage daughter! She's almost as old as I am! That means he's old enough to be MY father. Ew!
Oh, stop your whining, there have been bigger age differences that have worked out just fine.
Though I gotta admit, his daughter isn't ugly, even though both of her parents aren't very attractive. That's not a check mark towards deciding on him. And I really don't like breaking up marriages that are there at the beginning of the game..
Tal: Okay, I guess he isn't that bad. He's ambitious like me, and he went to Fort Starch Military Academy..
Okay, how does this make any sense: I used 'gauge attraction' and 'consider attractiveness' on them. Tal is attracted to Walter with a 6 out of 10, and Walter is attracted to Tal with a 1 of 4. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? Maybe he thinks that she looks like a hussy or some such.
Tal: WHAT? He- I- how dare he! That's it, I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
Tal: You'll see. You follow me everywhere anyway. What are you, exactly? Are you my plumbob?
Uh.. yeah. We'll go with that. By the way, I hope you know that you're stopping by the graveyard if there are any ghosts out tonight.
Tal: Great. I always wanted to visit a creepy graveyard at night to possibly make an ugly baby with a ghost.
You're definitely not frugal. Spending $18 of your $46, just to have a diner meal, when you could go home and easily have cereal, or soup, or ice cream. They would satisfy your hunger just as well as the diner can!
Tal: Yes well, have you ever 'dined' when the only thing to sit on was a toilet? It's not exactly the most appetizing thing ever! I wanted to eat at a table my first night here. Don't worry, I'll be dining at the Château de la Outhouse tomorrow.
I'm glad it's not MY money to try and manage. Don't come crying to me when you have to take out a loan!
Now, it's off to the graveyard with you!
Tal: Yeah.. I'm so glad I'm not a coward. Do you have any idea how creepy that was?! Running along.. in the dark.. on a winding path.. through a forest.. then into a graveyard..
I can honestly say I have never experienced that. And never will. 8D
Tal: I don't think that you should put us Sims through things you wouldn't be willing to go through yourself. It's just.. just cruel!
Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same thing were you in my shoes.
Tal: Of course I-! ... would probably, actually, yeah.
If the Sims 3 had the option to play/buy different computer games like the Sims 2 did, I would let you play it. But alas, they don't. So, just curious, what are you going to do until a ghost shows up/doesn't show up?
Tal: I think I'll explore the catacombs.
Yes, because that's not creepy at all.
"Although Talulla almost died several times in the underground rapids, soaked trousers and murky water weren't enough to keep Talulla from swimming away with a Mysterious Mr. Gnome prize!"
Awesome! What to name it..
...
...
"A spooky specter emerges from the skeleton lying before your Sim. It demands your Sim give it a single strand of hair, or else!"
Flee or Give it Hair?
Ah, give the thing a hair, it's not like she doesn't have a bunch of them.
...
"If everyone knew that the catacombs were filled with things like How Rain Built the World, the catacombs would be picked clean immediately! Good thing Talulla was here to collect the How Rain Built the World first.."
Yes, but it would be better if she was a bookworm. Or it was valuable.
11:35 PM..
Midnight..
"Talulla was passed by a constant stream of explorers, all of whom keep telling Talulla to "turn back," "get out while you can," and "avoid Hogan's Deep Fried Diner." But what do they know?"
That's what I told her too, but did she listen? Nooooo.
Shoot. Missed that one. Darn you, mouse, for clicking the button on the right before I could read what it said!
And finally, the usual last message about not being able to talk about it for a while, bladeda, and the horrified moodlet.
How was it, Tal?
Tal: Don't let me do that again.
Oh, I'm sure you'll change your mind later. You should get on home, I don't think any ghosts are coming out tonight, and you have an early morning.
Tal: HEY, one thing I can say about that experience! The first day of work SEEMS LIKE A PIECE OF CAKE NOW.
Oops. I forgot to put a light in your outhouse.
Tal: Oh, well, I guess it just completes the camping feel! You should have made the walls wooden instead of tile, then it would have been PERFECT. And, and, you could have given me a bunk bed, then it would be like I was at camp.
Actually, that would have been pretty cool.. I may have to do that when you get money..
Tal: Dx I was being sarcastic!
Oh, I know!
Tal: I have never enjoyed the feeling of a sleeping bag more..
I imagine. Have a nice three hour nap, sleeping beauty, for your carriage to carry you off to the ball will be there at six.
Tal: .. zzzzzz...
