Hey hey! So I pretty much completely failed at keeping this legacy updated from the second I started posting it, but that’s okay, since I don’t think anyone but me read it anyway. This second update has been ready to go since May, and I even have a bit of a third update on my hard drive (before I took a break from TS4 again to play TS2, and then ultimately took a break from TS2 as well, haha). Thought I might as well just post it, because why not, right?

I told you this was coming, and here it is – a first instalment of my new TS4 legacy, the Peronis! His surname is because my only previous Sims 4 legacy, the Coopers, were also named after a brand of beer… I figured why not continue the trend? Beer surnames can be the running theme of my Sims 4 legacies in the same way that Esperanto surnames were for my Sims 2 ones, haha.

Speaking of TS2, I did indeed install it successfully on my Steam Deck and have been having a great time playing that again, too. This time I’ve been playing the premade households in Pleasantview, something I’ve never really done before (when I played in the past, I always jumped straight to making my own Sims). Actually I’d originally intended on getting reacquainted with TS4 by playing with some premades, too, but TS4 doesn’t even let you begin a new save except by creating a new household in CAS, so I went “fuck it” and started a new legacy. It worked out well in the end, because the premade households are probably more fun in TS2 anyway.

Well, I won’t ramble any longer… to anyone reading this, I hope you enjoy the entry!

Welcome back! Hope you enjoy!

Last time: Billie had another set of twins! Ella proposed to, married, and moved in with Joaquin le Chien. Josh kept working on his Serial Romantic aspiration; he now has three girlfriends, including his baby mama and his sister-in-law. Candy Behr stood him up for a date though. Britta and Morgan had to move out to their own place due to the tyranny of the household management screen. The younger twins became toddlers. Ella paid a visit and Arnold yelled at her. We continue…

The Coopers 5.5

Children, romance, fire, marital strife and more (+93) )

Mission “create a big buffer for November” is going well… I’ve now played partway through update 5.7. Pretty sure this generation is going to have way more updates than any of the previous ones, especially considering how many only cover 2–3 days!

Anyway, enjoy!

Last time: I only got through two days. Billie was pregnant! Ella and Josh went out on the town to look for love. Josh kissed some random unpleasant lady at the park and his girlfriend’s sister. Ella yelled at some people, then met the intriguing Joaquin le Chien. The next day Joaquin agreed to be her boyfriend. India and Delta became children. Josh met his mum’s clone, the Fake Morgan Fyres, and seduced her. We continue…

The Coopers 5.4

Dedication is swimming all the way to your boyfriend’s house (+95) )

Good news! I reinstalled my game in a 64-bit virtual drive with a newer version of Wine (2.18 stable) and it all runs like a dream now. No more crashing and I can afford to play with higher graphics settings! This means that I’ve actually played ahead a little bit, trying to create a backlog of posts to give me some buffering NaNoWriMo. We’ll see how that goes. For now, enjoy!

Last time: Josh enjoyed the Serial Romantic life. India played with a lot of food and befriended her great-grandpa’s ghost. Billie and Arnold conceived another baby. Feeling abandoned by Arnold (who was at work), Billie became receptive to Josh’s advances… very receptive. We continue…

The Coopers 5.3

In which not a lot of time passes but Ella finds a beau and Josh gets at least three first kisses (+88) )

I’m having yet more problems with my game crashing intolerably often, I’m afraid :( I’m starting to think I might have to reinstall, because it’s literally at the point where I’m playing the same events three times over before I can get the save function to work instead of crash. GAH.

Last time: Billie gave birth to twin girls, Delta and India. Josh continued his Serial Romantic ways, including through the putting of moves on his sister-in-law Billie, and fathering a child (or two?) with his girlfriend Elsa Bjergsen. Ella became an Evil Young Adult. We continue…

The Coopers 5.2

A bumper update of romance galore (+101) )

Last time: Josh convinced Elsa Bjergsen to be his girlfriend. Billie and Arnold CONCEIVED A BABY, then got married. Julian’s ghost paid a visit, and had a romantic evening with an excessively caffeinated Claire. Elsa and Josh became young adults, and Ella become leader of the Teen Hangout Club. Finally, Josh developed his Serial Romantic habits at the nightclub. We continue…

The Coopers 5.1

Featuring toddlers and romance! (Separately, not together.) (+87) )

Yay for school holidays! I had time to finish playing this update this morning, as well as the start of the next (hint: generation five has been born 😉). Enjoy!

Last time: Julian died. Arnold was a colossal meanie-mo, but managed to convince Billie to be his girlfriend and then fiancée anyway. Josh tried to also get a girlfriend, but his family kept running interference. We continue…

The Coopers 4.7

Featuring a whole lotta romance (+92) )

Welcome back! This is actually as far as I’ve played – I've been battling with a stubborn illness and using what little creative energy I’ve had mostly on novel-writing. Nonetheless, enjoy, and hopefully 4.7 will follow soon!

Last time: Morgan raised donations for her charity. Britta and Morgan met the Fake Morgan Fyres. Arnold met a cute teenage girl named Billie and resisted his urge to be mean just enough to convince her to like him. Instead he targeted his younger siblings, especially Ella, for meanness. Then Ella became a teen!

The Coopers 4.6

Featuring romance and shenanigans (+86) )

Just throwing it out there that generation four has probably been the most fun generation for me to play (so far). Maybe it's the Parenthood features deepening their characters, but they interact well! Hope you enjoy.

Last time: school projects, bear phases, Claire became an elder, Ella became a child, Arnold and Josh became teens.

The Coopers 4.5

Sibling love. (+90) )
