Set Up

As the initial set up of the founder is quite long, I decided to make a page for this rather than a post. Here you will see how I set up the Stone Legacy founder to the point of being ready to play!

To begin, I started a new game and the sex of the sim that appeared is the sex of the founder. I then clicked to randomise the sim once. I then removed everything removable to have a blank sim.

Next I randomised the skin colour and body shape of my founder using the ingame dice to do so.

Next I randomised all facial features using the in game dice. The face shape, the eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheek, jaw, chin and ears.

I then randomised the hair style/colour and facial hair.

This is what the founder officially looks like! Not bad at all really! After this, I used the ingame dice to randomise all his outfits. I randomised his colour preference too, so I could use that to recolour his random outfits.

Next I needed to randomise his traits and aspiration. As there is no aspiration dice in game, I used random.org to pick this. He got a new aspiration from the Life aspirations mod: Culinary Connoisseur. This requires him to max the cooking, gourmet cooking and baking skill to complete.

The last thing I had to do in CAS was to randomise his name. I decided to randomise his first name only as the last name is kind of important in a legacy! So I chose his surname Stone. Introducing our finished founder, Mr Korbin Stone!

Not a goatee fan, but he makes it work I think!

Next I had to randomise the season he would be starting in. He got the Fall Season.

I decided, instead of randomising what world he would live in, that I would place him on the largest lot in Newcrest. This is because I wanted to fill up the town with plenty of cool lots!

As soon as the game loaded up, I paused it and went into build mode to randomly assign the lot traits and lot challenges that would be active until the first heir takes over.

Chefs Kitchen, Celebrity Home, Filthy, Quake Zone and Volcanic Activity

The reduce and recycle lot trait is locked because of the SNB Bills mod, until Korbin pays to have garbage utility. The chefs kitchen is great for his aspiration, the celebrity home not so much! Embarrassed moodlets here we come! I was unlucky with the lot challenges, sometimes you only get one, or two, but I got three. They aren’t actually that bad really. A few fires from the volcano, getting woken up in the night and some dirt isn’t the end of the world!

Now I knew my lot traits, I next cheated Korbin’s starting money down to $1800 as required by the challenge. I spent $185 of his money turning on the water and cell phone utility. This means he can use his cell phone and flush a toilet! With the remainder of the money, I built him a…shack.

With all that done, there was only three more things I needed to do. Firstly I needed to use the Wonderful Whims mod to randomly assign his preferences for attraction. Then I needed to use the Woohoo wellness mod to set his preference for children to change randomly over time. Finally I had to randomly roll to see what career he would be getting…hopefully. I gave every possible career in game a number, including active careers and part time careers. He rolled…..Social Media! Doesn’t really fit with his aspiration, but oh well.

And with all that, Korbin Stone is ready and willing to begin his new life! Aren’t you Korbin?
