Chapter 1 - I Wish For....

I decided to try out a Wishacy! I suck at letting my sims do what they want, and this will be sort of a first for me. I've played ISBI's but even with those I am the one that decides what my TH does and if I don't like a wish I don't have to do it. Well not with a Wishacy! I get no say (well maybe a little) over what she wants, what she does, and who she marries. All I get to do is help her accomplish as many wishes as possible, whether I like it or not. Rules for the Wishacy can be found here: http://buckeygirl80.blogspot.com/p/intro-and-rules.html

Now a little bit of the rules I am changing for my playing style. First rule number 1..
  • You must of course, complete this challenge without changing active households. Any action that erases the wishes promised to your legacy family is a big no-no!
The only exception to this rule is if my game becomes corrupt, which it does sometimes. If I do have to move neighborhoods or anything like that, I will state it here. 

Rule number 4... I will be be trying to pass down the family oriented trait throughout generations. Just like with my ISBI as soon as I can choose the trait, I will. 

I also am not sure if I am only going to generation 7 or generation 10. I barely make it past generation 3 in most of my legacies, so we'll see how it goes. 

If anything else I decide against on the rules, I will let you know. For now though, since I haven't ever played this challenge I am going to go with the rest as much as possible. One thing I have already figured out and am having a problem with, is if their LTW does not have to do with a career, it is a lot harder to achieve. My girl's LTW is 'Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law'. She has not wished to steal anything, so we haven't even started it. I think this might be one exception to controlling them even if they don't wish for it. Anyone that has played this already though, let me know what you think, as I have no clue. 

Since I don't get to control who my Sims are, I decided everything will be random. Firstly, I will not be choosing the names of my Sims, even my founder was randomized. I am using a random name generator found here: http://www.behindthename.com/random/

I also will not be choosing any traits but the family oriented one, all else will be randomized. 

I think that is it. I'll add more if I think of it, but for now lets meet our founder Krista Capricious. Her last name means given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior. I thought it was fitting for this challenge. Her first name has been randomized, I just got lucky this time around. 

 Krista is starting her life out in Lucky Palms. I have never played this world before, so we will see how long it lasts. I like grass, so I'm not sure yet. 

Her traits were randomizes as Vegetarian, Nurturing, Kleptomaniac, Social Butterfly and Family Oriented (changed out Slob). 

Favorites are Crepes, Classical, and the color Pink. She is a Leo. I will try to remember to put all traits up for everyone in the household, but I forget most of the time and usually only add my heir/heiress'. Her LTW which was rolled (again randomizing these) is Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law. Not exactly an easy one to start with in my opinion, as I mention earlier unless she rolls the want to steal something I'm screwed. 

I will be keeping a list of her wishes, documenting them here and checking them off as we go. First thing she wishes for is to join the criminal career. We're on the right tract at least, and quickly head off to apply at the warehouse. 


 With that out of the way, she wishes to take a writing class and to gain a writing skill. Well not exactly working towards her LTW but okay. 

 Check and check. She gets done with her class and met a Sim named Evangeline. She immediately wishes to talk to Evangeline.

Krista: So yeah, there is this creepy lady watching me on everything I do. Right! Yeah I thought it was strange too. 
 With that taken care of Krista wishes to travel to the future, write a novel and acquire an elixir. 
Well we can take care of one of those for now. Off to the magic shop she went! 

 Since she was already buying an elixir, I took the opportunity to buy a couple other things. Not sure if we will need them, but since unless she wishes for it, we can't get it. 

She was very disappointed afterwards because she was ripped off on the price. 

 With that wish taken care of, she wishes for more stuff! She wanted to learn gardening skill next and buy a beekeeping box. 

Back home we bought a beekeeping box, and started on her gardening. Good thing we bought one seed at the magic shop. 

 Next up, learn athletic skill. Off to the gym we go! 


 She fell a few times, but did manage to get her skill. Next wish, Harvest nice honey. That one will have to wait till we have honey to harvest. 

 Back home it was time to complete her travel to the future wish. She activated the portal and Emit showed up. 

He hands her the travel dohicky and she gets her first opportunity. Easy peasy, just collect the things around the yard for Emit. 

 After she completed her opportunity Emit left and she went inside to make dinner. She was not in the negative yet, so I did not direct her to do so. Good thing she just seems to have a brain! 

Well she did for food at least. Sleep, not so much. 

Krista: I'm sooo tired! 
Go to bed, you've had a long day! 
Krista: *just stands there and yawns.* 

So her first day as the boss comes to a close. We still have travel to the future, harvest nice honey, gain a gardening skill and write a novel that we did not complete. We did get 7 wishes done though. Not sure if that is good or not. 

The next day she heads off to her first day of work. Still no wishes to steal stuff, so still we still have not started on her LTW. After work she completes her wish for a gardening skill.

 The honey was done, so that was next. Harvest nice honey, check!

It was time to get her big wish done, travel to the future! 


Emit meets her at the portal and gives her the next opportunity. Fly around with a jetpack. 




Thank goodness she doesn't die! And that opportunity is done. Next one Meet a Plumbot and find out its primary function (or something like that). She also wishes to visit a bot emporium, so they go hand in hand.

But first we see one of her descendents. Looks just like her, just different skin! 

Okay now off to the emporium! 

She meets Johnnie 5 (hmmm wonder where they stole that from!) She completes her opportunity laggily and gets her wish fulfilled. 

 With the lag becoming horrible it was time to go back to the present so I could save. No she did not wish for it. And no, I don't care if I just broke the rules. We either left or stayed, and since the future was laggy and home was not, I chose home. 

She landed with a thump! 

Poor girl, she's not the most graceful of sims. 

Travel to the future, check. 

I end the first chapter here as I haven't played any further. I hope it was not too boring. Thanks for reading!
