8.1 A Long Wait

Hello dear readers.

We are back to the Lemons in the Year of our Lord 2025. The first chapter of this Legacy was published on September 22nd, 2016. It is my mission to complete this challenge before the end of the year.

Mostly, this blog is for myself. I come back and read it fairly often, I laugh at my own jokes and I remember vividly playing this game. It’s like a time capsule. I haven’t been able to actually play The Sims 3 for years now. The last time I loaded up this save was 2023. My current PC isn’t able to play The Sims 3, and I’ve decided to move on to The Sims 4. It was a rough transition. When I started this blog TS4 was already out and I had vowed to never play it. LMAO. Now we are over 10 years down the line and there’s not another Sims game on the horizon.

So, back to the Lemons! Last we left off, Margo had just aged into a young adult. And as you found out, I had long since chosen her as our next Heir.

Wonton has fully settled into my heart. Sims 3 pets are specifically very lovable to me.

Although, I’m sure if they were waking me up at all hours of the night my opinion would be a bit different.

Wonton: MAAASTER!

Screenshot-165

Luckily, their caretaker is an angel.

Screenshot-168

Margo: Cats are life.

Screenshot-169

Margo graduated as Valedictorian. I wonder if they had regrets when she showed up in that hat.

Screenshot-170

Charles: She spooked a few people in the first row but I think it was just her blinding teeth.

Screenshot-171

Diago: Okay sweetie, where would you like to go to look for potential suitors?

Lilibet: The arcade daddy!

Try the arcade 2 towns over.

Screenshot-173

Some Kid: Wow, you have really shiny white teeth Margaret! I loved your speech.

Margo: Thanks kiddo, but also, try coming in less hot next time.

He should have complimented the hat.

Screenshot-174

Since she is now officially an adult, Margo shows up at her first case.

Margo: I’m assuming that’s the guy.

Dallas: That’s a stereotype!

Screenshot-175

Margo: So are you or are you not Dallas Shallow?

Dallas: Listen, I’m just here for the free food. Yes, I steal in my spare time. But that’s not what I’m up to here! It’s a free Sim World and the food made in the park is a free for all!

Screenshot-178

Some Kid: You know he’s right, everyone knows if you make food at the park, you made food for the neighborhood.

Margo: Oh, what did you study? Bird Law?

Screenshot-179

Some Kid: I’ll be going now.

Margo: Please do.

Screenshot-181

Later that night…

Margo: Now all I need to do is dig through all their trash!

Maybe look around first?

Screenshot-183

Margo: OH SHIT!

Screenshot-182

Margo: Eh, they didn’t see me.

Screenshot-184

But surely they will hear you.

Screenshot-185

Nope, Sims logic. She walks right past them with a smile.

Margo: And all of their fraudulent receipts!

Screenshot-186

Next up, the dump?

Margo: I’m always doing someone’s dirty work.

Screenshot-188

Margo’s next paying customer was this very sad looking lady in The World Ugliest PigtailsTM.

Margo: Oh no, I don’t think so. You have been chosen!!

Screenshot-189

*LIGHTENING STRIKES*

Old Lady: What was that!

Margo: Makeover!

Screenshot-190

Why do you look like that?

Margo: Seeing an all-powerful overlord at work… it changes you.

Screenshot-191

Old Lady: I’m too tired for this shit. It’s time to get back to my desk job.

Screenshot-193

Margo: Oh man, not snow! Let’s make this quick.

Screenshot-194

Guy: Right so, my neighbor keeps stealing my gnomes-

Margo: Stop right there!

Screenshot-195

Margo: I’ve heard enough. Rest assured, I will find your stolen gnomes!

Screenshot-196

Are we sure he hasn’t done something evil to his own gnomes?

Screenshot-198

Margo: Oh surely not! Look how hot he is!

Yes, Margaret got fleas from petting a stray dog.

Yes, this is Generation 8 of my legacy.

No, they are not getting smarter.

Screenshot-214

Charles is still here and slaving away to complete his LTW before moving out.

Charles: The only thing spares are good for in this legacy.

Your words, not mine!

Screenshot-215

Margo: What do you think?

He would be okay with a makeover.

Screenshot-216

Dimitri: I’m not interested in joining your legacy, you purple eyed freak!

Margo: What do you mean? This whole world revolves around us!

Screenshot-217

Dimitri: Eugh, listen to yourself!

 Don’t boo her! She’s right!

Screenshot-219

And while Margo was getting shut down by a local nerd, Melisa decided to leave this plane.

Melisa: Right beside of my computer. Just how I wanted it.

This is Charles’ room.

Melisa: It’s my house.

Screenshot-220

Grim: Oh great, another Lemon. How long has it been? 3 chapters?

Screenshot-222

Diago: Honey, are you on Charles’ computer again? You know he doesn’t like when we look around where he watches po-

Screenshot-223

Diago: HONEY!

Screenshot-224

Melisa: Don’t cry! I’ll see you soon.

Grim: That was a threat.

Screenshot-226
Screenshot-227

Wonton is concerned by the green gas being emitted by Melisa’s urn.

Margo: IT’S STILL FRESH!

Screenshot-230

Or possibly, Margo just smells like that now due to all of the time she spends lounging in garbage.

Man: I am in love with her.

Screenshot-231

Where are we?

Screenshot-232

Who is this guy?

Screenshot-233
Screenshot-234

Just some normal Sims 3 intrigue.

Screenshot-236

Diago: Burglars aren’t going to stand a chance when I get those laser pointers installed.

Screenshot-237

Charles is still here! This time working on Charisma. How’s it going buddy?

Charles: Just let me fulfill my contact so I can get the hell out of this slave labor camp.

Screenshot-239

Life seems good for these 2 Heirs.

Diago: Well I’m an only child.

Margo: And I’m The Chosen One! Feels good to be King.

Screenshot-241

Diago: Maybe we should take him out to dinner.

Margo: Let them eat cake!

Screenshot-243

Diago: Did you have to come dressed like that?

Charles: I needed you both to suffer.

Screenshot-244

Margo: You should have gotten the cake Charles!

Screenshot-246

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Diago brought the kids out for some good, old fashioned, bowling.

Diago: It reminds me of our college years.

Screenshot-249

Me too.

Charles: MOOOOOOM! WHYYY!

I think that’s a good place to end the night!

Screenshot-251

Are you serious?! You just left!

Grim: If you think I want to be here you are sorely mistaken.

Screenshot-253

Nooo, not Jubel! We just got this little guy!

Screenshot-256

Grim: He’s cute and mean. This is one of mine.

Screenshot-259

Wonton: NOT MY BROTHER!

Screenshot-261

At least you still have Sally to keep you company.

Screenshot-264

What is this?

Screenshot-265

Oooh, a moody detective office. Margo doesn’t have to work out of the local dump anymore!

Screenshot-266

Perfect for brooding.

Screenshot-267

And brood she must!
