Tyrian Digs Deeper

Tyrian made a rudimentary investigation of the secret lab but couldn’t make much progress due to a very heavy door blocking off the lower levels. With not enough time to look closely he heads to his first day of work at a different laboratory.

As socially awkward as he is, he makes fast friends with all his colleagues, including the 3D printing inventing AI.

His best friend at work is Nalani Mahi’ai, who is most certainly a mermaid but Tyrian has no idea about that. Too bad this isn’t a standard legacy because Nalani would be prime spouse material. So best friends it is.

Tyrian’s first work day consists of working on experiments. His first success was the creation of the Synthetic Food Serum.

His day also consists of using the work computers to work on his programming (and goofing off).

For such a long work day, the work itself is very relaxed.

Every day after work Tyrian sifted through the files left in desks and scattered on the floor of the secret lab, until he amassed a dossier full of strange photographs, witness accounts and confusing files.

He travelled to the local library to go over everything (as he did not feel safe at home with the possessed roaming his yard) and he met a fellow academic type who might be able to shed some light on what he discovered.

Tyrian: So, about that secret lab…

Scientist: I don’t know what you are talking about.

Tyrian: Don’t insult me. I have compiled this mountain of evidence in that lab at the north of town that points to something untoward, at least show me some professional courtesy.

Scientist: Fine. Take my key card and look deeper if you dare. Just do not implicate me when you don’t like what you find.

The next day after work Tyrian went strait to the secret lab with the key card to investigate further.

Tyrian: *cough* *cough* Fascinating. I wonder, are these particles some sort of spore?

Immediate regrets.

Clearly Tyrian will need a safer way to traverse this laboratory.

Parting shot: Tyrian asked this Spook about StrangerVille and she stared him down with a “nothing to see here” while possessed strolled right behind her. She then proceeded to stand on the spot, watching Tyrian’s house the entire night.

Tyrian hates it at home.

A Legacy Dies

My last post to this blog was in the middle of the pandemic. A lot has changed.

I’ve moved house AGAIN.

I’ve separated from my husband.

I was in a car accident.

I had a cancer removed from my forehead.

I’m 9 months pregnant.

So yeah I haven’t played The Sims or posted anything in some time. I even stopped playing D&D as the stress was just too much. The only game I have consistently played for a significant amount of time is Wolvden.

I was looking for a game that I could easily pick up and put down during the lead up until I give birth, and then play during night feedings establishing a routine (might be optimistic there heh). A game I can pick up and put down easily. The Sims is perfect. Unfortunately another thing that has happened since 2021 is my crappy laptop had a meltdown, and I bought a new one.

I wasn’t concerned about my Sims 4 Legacy, as I swear I had backed up the save to USB (I didn’t), and at the very least the family was backed up to the Exchange (they weren’t). I had backed up the document that I was using to keep score, but that is useless without the save. It seems Aster’s last wave to the camera was in fact a wave goodbye.

All is not lost. I managed to save a copy of the Legacy Lot to the exchange, so I can use it in future games. I also managed to save one special Legacy sim to the Exchange, so I have a sim for my next game sorted.

I’m really thankful for this blog. Not too many people happen by this blog, not too many looking for Sim stories, not in the day of YouTube Let’s Plays and Twitch, so it really feels like my little part of the internet. I love that the Grauerwolfe Legacy, if incomplete at gen 3 (as is my modus operandi) exists somewhere, in the timeless expanse of the web. The only other place I blog about what I’ve been doing in a game is the Unofficial Bioware Fan Forums where I blog about my Dragon Age playthroughs. Given how the Dragon Age Keep looks like it might be on the chopping block, and the thread where I post what I do each play session is shared with countless others, AND I have lost most of the screenshots I have taken of my characters having them stored on non permanent imaging servers – this place feels like mine. It feels permanent. And even if the blog itself might not last forever, the ability to move screenshots and posts elsewhere is far more under my control than it would be elsewhere.

And even though only a few visit here, who cares in the end. I play The Sims for me. And for those of you subscribed for Sims 4 Legacy content, there is a new game underway you might enjoy reading about in the very near future.
