The Cavanaugh Legacy: Chapter One




Hello everyone, welcome to my newest legacy! This legacy will be played in The Sims 4.

That being said, let's meet our founder!

Her name is Chloe Cavanaugh. I used the name randomizer until I came up with something I liked. I stuck with Cavanaugh because I love Pretty Little Liars, and my Mom and I used to have a dog named Cloe but I liked it spelled Chloe with her last name!

Chloe is Family Oriented and I chose the Successful Lineage as the aspiration from that.

Her traits are:
  • Domestic (from Successful Lineage aspiration)
  • Loves Children
  • Geek
  • Loves Outdoors



After watching some of Pinstar's "Let's Play" videos on YouTube I decided to follow one of his tips and not buy her anything unless she rolls the want for it. That way, she gets the reward points for it.

So, for now, she's going to go fishing. She can earn some money this way, and she also rolled up the want to go fishing.



I didn't want her to be lonely though, so I had her look for frogs.



At this point, her pet frog is literally the only thing she has on her lot.



I'm really excited about the following your sim to work aspect of the game. It's something I've always wanted to do. I decided to have her go into the detective branch.



Since I originally was in school to be a CSI, the fact that she can go to crime scenes and process evidence is totally up my alley and I had a lot of fun doing it.



After a few days at work, Chloe was able to make her first arrest and interrogate her suspect. After threatening him with spiders a few times, he gave her a full confession!



After work one evening, this cutie walked by her lot. His name is Cristopher Wendt. And as you can see, they hit it off right away and it didn't take long before they were sharing their very first kiss together.



After her first promotion, Chloe unlocked a ton of items and they were all placed into the household inventory. After looking it up and making sure I could sell them, I was able to build her a sizable home.



Of course, the house is super bare on the inside because I spent all her money building the frame.



After a few days at work and collecting fossils and My Sim trophies, we were able to add a bathroom on to the house. I love the styled rooms. It makes things easy on me when I feel creatively uninspired on the house.



The next day at work, Chloe witnessed the death of one of her co-workers.



This made her realize how short life actually was, and she invited Cristopher over as soon as she got home and proposed to him.



He gladly accepted her proposal, and the two were married on the front porch right away.

(I forgot to take a post make-over and first woohoo picture somehow. But rest assured, these things did happen. Cristopher has a food aspiration and wants to be Master Mixologist. His traits are Essence of Flavor (from food aspiration), Neat, Bookworm, and Loves Outdoors.)



If you were wondering why I put all that information on the last slide, this is why. The next morning, Cristopher was making breakfast while Chloe was at work and it caught on fire. Now, I had a smoke detector so I assumed the fire deparment would come and put the fire out just like in the Sims 2.



However, this was not the case and unfortunately Cristopher died. Chloe got home right as the grim reaper took him, so I was not able to plead for his life.



Thankfully, their first woohoo was a Try for Baby interaction, and Chloe is now pregnant!



She looks so sad about being pregnant without her husband there to help her out. My husband told me it seemed like a lifetime movie and the only thing she has left of her husband is this child!



She literally spends most of her time outside crying at his grave. This continues allllll the way until the end of this chapter (and probably will continue until she dies is my guess.)



Soon though, Chloe is giving birth to her and Cristopher's child.



She gave birth to a baby boy, who I decided to name Cristopher after his father. (I have to say, I continuously type his name as Christopher since that's usually how it's spelled, so it's weird seeing it as Cristopher, lol.)



Almost as if on queue, right after Chloe feeds baby Cristopher and puts him back in his bassinet, the ghost of Cristopher shows up and comforts her.



At this point, I was trying to figure out all the different things in the game since it's so different from it's earlier counterparts, so I didn't take many pictures from when Cristopher was born to when he became a child. But, he's a child now.

His randomly generated aspiration is Rambunctious Scamp and his randomly generated trait is bookworm.



The first thing Cristopher did after his make over was start on his homework.



Here's a better post-makeover picture for you.



The night after his birthday, Cristopher came to meet his son and gave him a big hug. Something I personally found adorable! Young Cristopher then proceeded to ask his father about being dead.



I love the way sims walk when they have to pee. And I have to admit, Chloe looks adorable!



I have no idea what illness this is, or how Chloe caught it, but she kept randomly getting it.



Cristopher completed his original aspiration of Rambunctious Scamp and his next one is Artistic Prodigy.



I sent Chloe to a bar to meet some guys, because I was going to let her have another baby. But after sharing a kiss with a guy, she felt awkward so I decided to just leave this generation at one child.



Speaking of, Today is now Cristopher's birthday! As child, he completed both Rambunctious Scamp and Artistic Prodigy.



As a teenager, I decided to continue with the blue plaid in honor of his father.

His randomly generated aspiration is The Curator. His current traits so far are:
  • Collector (from aspiration)
  • Bookwork
  • Loves Outdoors
  • Physically Gifted
  • Creatively Gifted
  • Morning Sim
  • Night Sim




I really like digging for fossils and things, I've actually probably spent most of my game play so far doing this.



While on a community lot looking for collectibles, Cristopher met Maia Hurt and the two instantly hit it off.



They're actually really adorable together, and I think they'll make really cute children.



Back home, the house is starting to look a little better. There is now a styled kitchen and styled study. Of course, everything else is still pretty bare.



I didn't get many pictures during his teenage years because I was working on collections, but Cristopher is now an adult! He's handsome!

Here's an updated list of his traits:
  • Collector (from aspiration)
  • Bookwork
  • Loves Outdoors
  • Physically Gifted
  • Creatively Gifted
  • Morning Sim
  • Night Sim
  • Entrepreneurial
  • Connections
  • Neat




"Hey Maia, I'm a young adult now. Wanna move in?"
"Sure, I'll be right over!"



I realized at this point, she was a playable sim. I know certain playable sims are acceptable if they don't have skill points, but I decided to just roll with it and let her move in since I'm not keeping score anyway.

She's got a popularity based aspiration of Friend of the World.

Her traits are:
  • Gregarious (from aspiration)
  • Geek
  • Gloomy
  • Bookworm




"Maia, with your new hairstyle you are more beautiful than I ever imagined. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

And that's where we will end this chapter! I apologize it was so short, I was so busy trying to experience some new things in the game I kept forgetting to take pictures! Until next time!
