1. Presenting the largest Joint Legacy to ever hit the Exchange: The SiMania Joint Legacy! This chapter is written by DARCY. aka, elushi0us aka. ViolaOfVampiresHello and welcome to the first chapter of SiMania's Joint Legacy. If you’re wondering what SiMania is, then I suggest that you copy and paste this link-http://z12.invisionfree.com/sim_mania-into your address bar, and prepare to enter the most fun and friendly Sims 2 Forum on the web. Because we have so many great people at SiMania, we have all decided to join together and write a Legacy, one Generation per member. I have been lucky enough to start off the Legacy, with the Generation One, (Our Founder and her spouse) bringing in Generation Two. If you’re unclear on the rules of a Legacy, I suggest that you visit: www.legacychallenge.com as you will find this Chapter much more engulfing if you can fully understand what we at SiMania are striving for. You can find all future Chapters of this Legacy on this page.

2. Here we have our beautiful Founder, Sally McMania. She was lovingly created by one of the very talented Admins of SiMania, Roxanne, also known as Taube.Sally is a Romance sim, and her biggest goal in life is to reach the top of the Music Career, as a Rock God. I was hoping for one of the typical Romance sim LTW's, WooHoo with 20 Different Sims, or Have 20 Lovers, but no such luck. Sally is a rather extreme sim, statistics wise. She doesn't mind cleaning up after herself, yet she's very lazy. Sally is pretty Serious, but also rather nice and very, very Outgoing.All in all - Neat: 6 Outgoing: 10 Lazy: 0 Serious: 3 Nice: 6As seen in the above picture, Sally has Red Hair, and Skintone Two. Her eyes are in fact dark blue, but my current defaults seem to give them a green tinge.This Chapter is going to be written from my point of view as will all the chapters that I write about the family. This however, is subject to change once the family is passed over.

3. Sally's University experience began today, when she moved into Nariesha Dorms.I know what you’re thinking; a Romance sim like her should be of flirting and caressing every Sim on the lot, not Declaring her Major in some country-styled room, right?True, but she actually has a pretty high interest in Work and the Environment, so this room and this activity suit her just fine.That along with the fact not a single Sim had arrived on the lot yet...Sally decided on the Economics Major, because the directory specifically stated that students wishing to pursue Careers in Music are best off taking that particular course.

4. Sally isn't that keen on studying and doing boring research, but she's not an idiot.She knows that the faster she gets her work out of the way, the more time she'll have to spend cracking onto hot guys and girls at the local hot spots.Plus, with it Autumn all year round here at SSU, Sally gets a much appreciated study boost.Thank goodness for that!

5. After getting the skills points that were required for the first semester, Sally decided to call up the Campus Directory and chat with some of the other College students.First she spoke to a nice girl named Viola, who recommended that she speak to one of the Llama Mascots, Amar.She passed her on to him and they chatted for a while.

6. Sally had to hang up the phone several hours later though, because her stomach was grumbling.Luckily, she knew how to talk and eat at the same time...The girl doing her assignment, Vyn Riley, wasn't too pleased with Sally though, so she just carried on writing.How rude!

7. Because Sally is so lazy, it usually takes her quite a while to earn a Body skill point, even with the added Autumn bonus, so again I'm glad for having Seasons as an Expansion Pack.

8. Sally isn't very good at making friends over meal times, because she sloshes her food into the other eaters plates. It's very gross, and I can't blame them for not wanting to know her!Sierra here obviously had the same opinion, because she rejected Sally when asked for a game of Kicky Ball.

9. Sally was stuck writing her Term Paper for her self this Semester, because she hadn't 'befriended' any of her Proffesors yet...

10. She also spent some time getting in touch with her creative side, though she wasn't very good at painting at all.I supposed that a three-playful-points Sim isn't the most creative of kinds.

11. She also decided to take up Flower Arranging, which earnt her a little money on the side while she worked. Sally put that money away for safe keeping, because she planned on using it to buy herself a house at SSU, a small one that would some day serve as her very own Woohoo Shack*.______________________________________________________*Phrase coined by a SiManian - Widget in her Time-Lord and Discworld Legacies, Generation C.

12. While she was making a few nice bouquets, the mascot she had spoken to on the phone dropped by for a friendly visit.Amar Hogan became Sally's very first friend, and he made it very clear that he wanted nothing more than friendship. Well, according to his rejectivebehaviour, that is.

13. Sally soon got over her losses though, and was happy to have someone to talk to. Someone who didn't think she was a disgusting slob.Even though Sally isn't Active at all, she still didn't mind talking over Sports with her friend.

14. When it got late, Amar left and Sally had nothing better to do than her latest assignment.Romance or not, I wanted to make sure that Sally kept up to date with her studies, and that really did pay off.She managed to pass her Freshman year with an easy 4.0, netting her some cash to go towards the house that she wanted.

15. She even took up a few shifts at the stove, making meals for her fellow Dormies. Sally had near maxed her Cooking skill, so she rarely burnt anything.

16. Soon enough, Friend number two Grayson Go came into Sally's life.Unlike his rival Llama...

17. Grayson made it apparent that he was happy for the relationship to take a few extra steps further than 'just friends'...Sally soon found out why that was, when she asked him about his wants in life.He was a Family sim, which as we all know aren't the best of sims for the Romancing kind, such as our Founder.

18. Although Sally wasn't quite sure that she wanted to date a Family sim, due to commitment fears on her part, she really did enjoy being with Grayson, so she kept seeing him throughout her first Semester as a Sophomore.

19. Depsite having a boy to play with now, Sally still studied as much as was needed for her future exams, and her future Career in Music.After all, even making out couldn't cloud her vision of becoming a Rock God.

20. Because her two friends weren't Dormies Sally often had to play chess alone, which wasn't her favourite thing in the world.Chess is a sort of reserved activity, and as we all know Sally is far from reserved. Her ten outgoing points are evidence of that!

21. Because she was sick of being alone in the Dorms, Sally decided to tell Grayson that she really liked him, and let him have her first kiss. I guess their other kisses didn't really count, because they happened on the couch.

22. Sally asked Grayson to move in with her shortly after, and of course he accepted in his happy little Family sim manner. They were both very happy together, even though he odds were against them, due to their rather different Aspirations.

23. After taking off his ugly Llama Mascot outfit, and scrubbing up his new look in the mirror, Grayson revealed his gorgeous face to the Sim world.If your wondering how I knew Grayson was so pretty, it's because of the wonderful InSimenator.It allows you to change the outfits of your sims, without first taking them to the dresser. I used it on Grayson to change him into Formal wear, which took off his yucky mask, and then back again.Once I knew he was rather attractive, I had Sally make a move on him. Simple as that!

24. Being a Family sim, Grayson is much more easy going than Sally when it comes to study time.He knuckles down and works quite quickly instead of letting his mind wander to making out and Woohoo. Although he can't help letting the occasional 'Baby thought' slip through his head.

25. University Majors are quite demanding, so next up is Charisma for Grayson. He takes the opportunity to practice his romancing skills, because with a girlfriend like Sally, Grayson knows that he's going to need all the Romancing help he can get.

26. On a lovely Autumn afternoon, Sally and Grayson go on their first real date. They kissed, hugged and flirted their way around the lot, and after all of that, Grayson decided to ask Sally a very risky question, and hoped for the best from his lovely girlfriend.

27. As Sally looks into the ring and her boyfriends adoring eyes, she admits something to herself.She really does love Grayson despite all her talk of using him and wanting a Woohoo Shack, so she says the one word that would make her wonderful boyfriend very, very happy.

28. "Yes."

29. They're such a sweet couple, that I would feel awful if Sally were to cheat on Grayson.She hasn't actually rolled any wants related to cheating yet, so I took it as a sign and allowed the two of them to get engaged.

30. Even though she's tied down to one man now, Sally can't help but think Romance sim thoughts...

31. The morning after their engagement, Sally was glad to notice that nothing much had changed.She now wore a ring on her finger, and people were giving their congratulations, but that was about the extent of it. It pleased her to know that she could still be herself even though she was engaged to a Family sim.

32. Grayson was absolutely thrilled with his life, and decided that he too wanted a house to share with his Fiance, so he helped Sally with her Flouristry and money saving.Luckily, Grayson learnt quickly.

33. Unluckily, he was slightly forgetful when it came to paying the bills!Nobody was really too bothered with it, because the only item to be reposessed was a chair from Sally and Graysons room, which had been there since before Sally moved in.

34. Grayson woke up when the Repo Man came in, and proceeded to lay protectively next to his Fiance.Naww, what a sweetie.

35. Sally woke up not long after and studied her butt off through a Term Paper, an assignment and then went to class for her final. Even I was shocked at her sudden spark on ethusiasum for work!

36. When Sally returned with her latest grant, she purchased the one thing she'd been wanted for quite some time - a house.

37. While Sally worked in the kitchens, Grayson ate, studied and slept.They'd both been taking shifts as Cooks for a few days now, which was part of the reason they'd saved up enough to move out so soon.

38. Grayson had managed to get that much strived for Silver badge soon enough, and he was very pleased with himself for it.

39. So he and Sally... celebrated.

40. Sally woke up earlier than Grayson the next day, so she paid a few bills...

41. watched a little television...

42. And waved goodbye to the Dorms anxiously, as she wander off to a different lot one that would soon be home to Grayson as well.

43. When Grayson woke up he was shocked to know that Sally had moved into their new house, and was waiting there for him to arrive. Almost as shocked as Sally was to find out that Grayson had finally gotten his Gold Flower Arranging Badge!

44. After quickly finishing off his Term Paper, Grayson packed his things and moved out of the Dorms, forever.

45. He met Sally outside of their new, gorgeous home, and greeted her with a tight embrace.

46. This sunny yellow house in now the place that Sally McMania and GraysonGo will be calling home for the last of their College years.

47. It didn't take too long for them to settle in, soon Sally was painting some pictures to hang on the walls...

48. And Grayson was taking advantage of the new privacy in the bathroom.Privacy was something the couple weren't used too.

49. It wasn't lonely though, they always had each other to study with, and also the occasional Cheer Leader, Mascot or shouting P.E teacher to keep them company.

50. The couple decided that celebrations were in order, for they had finally moved into their own place.They sure do love to celebrate...

51. Things were pretty quite now that they lived alone.Sally was happen to be chilling out for now, because she knew that soon enough she'd have to give birth, take care of kids and do some other rather tedious tasks.Grayson however, was ready to Graduate and become a Daddy as soon as he could!

52. I suppose Sally's being in her underwear could even stop her from trying to befriend the paper girl...

53. They actually became quite good friends after a while, and Sally decided that Tina here was pretty enough to date one of her sons in the future, though Sally wasn't too fond of the thought of having kids.

54. With all that spare time on their hands, Grayson and Sally often went on dates, which always ended up being Dream Dates. These two are so cute and perfect for each other, that it's not really suprising to know that they never had a bad date.

55. In fact their attraction is so strong that they have to do their studying in different rooms apparently. ;)

56. See?

57. Grayson is so cute, he's always pulling little faces at the smallest of things - Here he's smiling simply because he gets to rake up some leaves, and then compost them.Once the two of them get back to Nareisha Valley, the=ose composted leaves will come in handy for their very own greenhouse.

58. Unfortunately, neither one of the happy couple remembered to pay the bills on time, again.This time Grayson was upset, I guess he felt like he was letting his family down in a way...

59. Seeing as College is coming to a close for both of them, Sally and Grayson decide that it's time for them to begin looking for Placeholder.

60. They decide on Edith Charvat, the only Cow Mascot in the history of my game not to give my Sims any trouble. Edith accepts, and moves in right away.The end of Term is a few days away, so Edith sets a bed up on the new second floor.

61. During his Term Paper, Grayson breaks the computer, which Sally then lectures him about.

62. She can't stay mad at him too long though...

63. With nine of her ten skills maxamized, Sally only has Body left.Again, the laziness factor comes into play. With only a short part of her University life left, there's not a very high chance that Sally will max all of her skills here. Luckily, she has the whole of her Adulthood to finish it off.

64. Later that night while the couple slept, a burgular snuck onto the lot.Thankfully, I remember to buy alarms, so he didn't get very far...

65. Grayson really wanted his little pet, so I caved and got him one.

66. Everyone, meet the newest member of The SiMania Joint Legacy...

67. "FRANKIE!"Grayson actually had Frankie with him from the moment he was bought, to the end of his College life, and then he packed him up and took him home with him later, too.I'd love it if we could have him for as long as possible, even after the family has been passed along.

68. In an attempt to get as much study done as possible before Graduation, Sally was doing a little Yoga. She was annoying interrupted by something, however.

69. Her own Adulthood! Grayson was painting a picture of her, when she aged.How sentimental.

70. With one final look at her soon-to-be Husband Sally McMania left her College life forever; and headed back to Nareisha Valley to truely begin this Legacy.Grayson waved sadly as he watched his wife leave.

71. Edith Charvat, our Placeholder decided that it was okay to sleep in Sally's side of the bed now that she was gone, which of course was a very wrong assumption.After shooing her away, Grayson fixed up a few final things...

72. He played with Frankie...

73. Took a lovely, warm bubble bath...

74. Worked a little on his novel...

75. And attempted to make the bed. But of course his Adulthood, much like Sally's, interrupted his plans...

76. Ta Da!With a poof, a whirl and a tiny bit of confetti - Grayson Go became an Adult.

77. Soon enough, Grayson will be reunited with his Fiance, Sally.Thank you to everyone at SiMania, for being so supportive and amazing.
