Lola: Ever heard the one about the sex-obsessed camel? He loved to hump.

…

Lola: No? Well, what do you call a monkey in a minefield? Baboom!

Lola: Not finding these funny? That’s OK, I’m sure the website has more.

Come on, we need to introduce the new legacy. Stop playing with that phone.

Lola: But if I stop now, these people won’t see the full extent of my hilariousness!

I’m sure they’ll live.

Hello, and welcome to The Zodie Legacy! Before we begin, I suppose I should say two things : firstly, if you don’t know what a legacy or the Sims is, get your butt over to this site. Secondly, I should explain this legacy’s theme: musical theatre. Each generation will have a different musical assigned to it, and each child from that generation will be named after characters from that musical.

If you don’t enjoy the theatre (If not, why not? It’s awesome!) then don’t despair – you won’t need any knowledge of the shows I mention, as I’m mostly just taking names from them. Any other references that I make towards the theatre will be by including slightly themes from them in my storylines (for example, if there’s a Phantom of the Opera generation, an unrequited love plotline may pop up).

If you don’t get this all now, no problem – I’m sure it will all be clearer as our legacy progresses. So, I suppose it’s time to formally introduce our founder!

Lola: Why, hello there, sexy internet people. My name is Lola Zodie, and I’m fabulous.

Lola is a flirty, friendly, charismatic party animal with a good sense of humour. She seems to me like the sort of person who’s genuinely nice, but also just out for a good time. Basically, she’s the life of the party: living for the moment; happy and upbeat; loud….



Lola: And sassy! Don’t forget sassy.

Lola: Hey, if everyone in this thing are going to be named after Broadway characters, who am I named after?

Well, in honour of Kinky Boots‘ win at the Tony Awards this year, I decided to name you, my founder, after one of the main characters: the drag queen who tries to turn a failing shoe factory around!

…

Lola: Haaaaa! That’s soooo fab. A drag queen? I bet they’re so fun at parties!

Most girls would get offended about being named after a man in women’s clothing (even if he is awesome). But no. Not her.

I decided to make Lola a little room with all the bare necessities in it. I had a little money left over too, so I bought a nicer bed and actually gave her flooring.

Lola: Hey, come down here, you – I have a bone to pick with you!

What’s up?

Lola: Well… I read some of those legacy things – that’s what we’re doing here, right? A legacy?

Yeah…

Lola: Well, they’re not exactly what I expected. I mean, Most people on them just seem to search around for a member of the opposite sex, get married, settle down, have, like, 500 kids, and then die.

And? I explained all of this to you! I told you: you would get a large amount of land; you’d go looking for men; you’d have children to carry on your family name…..

Lola: You did? I must have switched off after you said about going out after men!

Well, what’s the problem?

Lola: I’m a party animal, Purplehamsterz! How will I be able to go out and party every night when I have a family at home?

Lola: I really don’t know if this legacy thing is for me. My LTW is to be super popular! I always thought I’d spend my life doing something important, like…. becoming a professional party host. That’s a thing, right?

No.

Lola: … then what about stripping?

You can’t do that either. You’re having kids. That’s that.

Lola: This is so not cool. I’m not doing it.

You can’t bail out now!

Lola: Just you watch me!

After a long nights sleep, Lola decided on a hearty breakfast of brains. Ew.

Lola: Oh well. Brain meat is no different to what they put in hot dogs, and they’re pretty good.

True.

After that nutritious meal, our founder rolled a wish to go and visit the Summer festival. As I’ve decided to try and fulfil all of my sims’ wishes, we headed over there, but found it completely empty. I’m playing this legacy in Moonlight Falls, and let me tell you, an abandoned carnival in the middle of a spooky gothic town is a very creepy place to be.

Lola: I think it’s cool – what a great place for a Halloween party! I like it!

Of course you do.

Luckily enough, this guy, Rainflower Ivy (what the actual fudge?), showed up after a while to open up his hot dog stand … but then he began to creep me out more than the empty festival.

Rainflower: Hey, pretty blonde haired lady, want my juicy hot dog? It’s on the house!

…I don’t think he’s offering you brain meat, Lola! Run!

After that stranger danger, Lola had to go and steady her nerves with a mechanical claw game.

…..and a go on the swing.

…and roller skating.

Which she was pretty damn awful at.

Rainflower: I’ll just stand here, but as soon as she falls over, I’ll pounce.

Lola: Oh boy, what an awesome day!

So, you’ve played on the arcade machines, played on the playground, gone roller skating, been stalked by Rainflower and gotten your face painted like a pirate. Will you please consider doing something constructive now? Like… get an actual job perhaps?

Lola: Ooooh, I’m going to go and visit one of the swanky bars in town!

It’s like I’m not even here.

Are all those drinks for you?

Lola: Only four of them!

There are only three….

Lola: Oh… I must have drunken one already. By accident.

Just wash that stuff off your face.

Lola: Those four teen drinks really seem to be working!

Lola: Wooo, I’m on fire! Look at me dance!

Man: Well thank you for the invitation!

This guy is called Gustav Gusto.

No. Seriously.

Lola rolled a wish to dance with him, and he’s pretty cute, so why not?

Then, Lola rolled a wish to do another kind of dance …

Lola: Wow, you’re quite the dancer, huh?

Gustav: Thanks, you too. You seem like a bit of a party animal, just like me.

Oh boy, this guy is pretty great, Lola! Lets take this nice and slo–

Oh.

Just look at the terror in that man’s eyes.

Gustav: What the hell were you thinking? You don’t even know me! I don’t even know your name and you make a move like that?

Lola: Umm, excuse me, but you were giving off some very strong signals. You came over, we danced…

Lola: You know what? Hell to the no! Screw you! Screw this whole thing! If I don’t want this legacy, I don’t need a guy’s approval, I’m out for fun!

Lola then went on to go and make out with every man in the club.

Lola: Damn right I did!

Although the results weren’t exactly what she was hoping for.

Are you OK?

Lola: Yeah, I’m good. I think I’ve had enough of partying for tonight anyway. I’m sweaty, my heels are hurting me and I’m pretty sure I swallowed one guy’s gum.

And so, our first full day of the legacy ended with our founder returning to her room in the early hours of the morning, all partied out and smelling like sweat and cologne.

Lola: All in a night’s work!

And there it is, the first chapter of the Zodie Legacy! I hope you enjoyed it, and that you’ll stay tuned, because there’s lots to find out! Will Lola settle down? Will she decide to take on foundership, or will she party for the rest of her life, or both? Find out soon, and in the meantime, happy simming!
