The Price Legacy - Characters and Statuses

This list consists of generation one's cast so far, as well as side characters who play a huge role in the story. It includes traits, aspirations, and various other information as to what I've done with them. I will update this as I update the story, just to keep myself sane and keep everyone on track. (I'm very good at remembering everyone as I'm used to juggling multiple characters without issues, but I forget traits and aspirations very easily unless it's a character who takes up my focus.)

As you can tell, I take some light liberties with the established Maxis sims. They don't have character value traits when you play them, so the majority of the time, if they're included here, it's because I'm making them up. It's cool if you don't agree with me or think they're totally accurate! It's just based on how I perceived them in this story and my own personal experience with the legacy.

The Price Legacy - Scrapped Screenshots

I have a lot of screenshots that haven't made it in my updates so far. Either because they eventually fell out of the story as I fleshed out the characters, or I just couldn't get them to work for the chapters for one reason or another. I'm deleting them, but I wanted to upload a few personal faves.

Let's call these...bloopers! )

TS4 Resources

I doubt I'm going to share my legacy story, but on the off chance I do, or if anyone stumbles across this: my resources for hairs, clothes, poses, etc, are on my Pinterest account.

I've been trying to save every individual posepack on the board, but I haven't gotten around to putting all of them up. So, if there's a particular pose I used and you're curious as to which one it is, I'll be happy to provide the link to the maker if it's not in the board.

Most poses I use are made by the following folk: simmerberlin, Sim_plyreality, sciophobis, anewlovesims, cazmari_mods, and atashi77. Their work is so lovely, and I highly recommend you check out their content! (Especially Simmerberlin's emotions pack! It's my favorite.)

Unfortunately I haven't learned how to make my own poses yet. All the poses I use are from other makers, and it's varied depending on which ones I need for a chapter, not from one particular creator. I would love to learn how, though! I just don't have the spoons for it right now.

Joshua Hay - A Brief History

So! About the Joshua Hay featured in this playthrough.

Unfortunately, I never saved the original Joshua Hay from the very first Price Legacy. He died, and before I could resurrect his ghost and save his file, he went into the netherworld. It's close to impossible to bring him back, and even if there was a method, I didn't want to risk breaking my game.

I was just about ready to move on without him, and I rebooted the legacy in which Marci married Dina instead (and Don ofc was going to snake his way back in, because somehow Marci and Don ALWAYS become friends with little to no intervention on my part, not even joking a little)...but alas, I really missed Josh.

So, I did something that felt wrong: I took the OG Holden Price and changed a few features to remake his father.

For reference, these are the only two surviving close-up images of OG Josh, including their meet-and-greet.





And this is OG Holden.



As you can see, the only thing Holden inherited from his mom were her thin eyebrows and I...think his cheeks were shaped a little different. That's it. Everything else was Josh, even his body type. I remember when Holden aged up into his teen years, I did a side-by-side comparison between him and Josh. As much as I adored him, I ultimately decided Holden couldn't be heir material because he was just an asexual copy of his father.



So, all I had to do was play with the eyebrows and just a liiiiittle bit with the cheeks and gave him Josh's bubble butt, and voila. ofc I didn't give Josh his OG hairstyle because I'm dumb and forgot which one he had, but it worked out. (And I gave him the OG hair as a teen in the recent update.)

I also gave him a different skintone than Marci; they had the same one in the first playthrough, and I just thought he looked closer to how I pictured him in my head. He's noticably stockier/heavier compared to the OG Josh. I think it makes sense with his past glutton trait.

The OG Josh was also mean, a glutton, and hot headed, but I decided to get rid of the mean trait as he never struck me as a mean sim; he went and developed a personality behind my back! I gave him creative instead, and you can easily swap out glutton for family oriented.
