1.1 - New life

Nicole Douglass is your typical good girl next door. She always did well in school. Her parents were oh-so-proud, but she never found her place, due to her looks. She's not your typical slender, popular girl - She's Nicole.

Nicole was always pressured by her father to take up his Douglass-legacy. He wanted for his little genius to become a doctor, like him, and his father before him. Nicole's little sister wasn't interested in the "legacy" so she ran away as a teen, with a much older upcoming film artist. No one has seen her for years.
Therefore it was Nicoles duty to take up the legacy, but finally the good little girl put her foot down. She said no.
So Nicole decided to take off from Sunset Valley and take place on a little island, called Legacy Island. A curious choice for a girl who didn't want anything to do with her fathers legacy, but Nicole looked at it as a sign, that she was to start her very own legacy.
On this little island she wasn't the Douglass-daughter, but instead she was the nobody. The newcomer - and she didn't mind that, at all.

A little house was bought on 45 Elm Street, where she put the few things she owned, which wasn't a lot, so she bought a few things at the local consignment store.
And with those few purchases - a home was founded.


Her favourite purchase was the used guitar, which she found cheap. She always had a tingeling in her fingers whenever someone found the guitar and played. She wanted to learn to play so badly.

So the first day, to get some fresh air, she took the guitar and went to the park. Nicole thought that would make a perfect practicing place.

It only took her a few minutes to get so absorbed in her playing that she didn't notice that people actually stopped and listened for a while, before walking on.
She just kept on playing... and playing. And enjoying.

She lost track of time, and when she started to feel drops of rain falling on her face, she decided that she needed to get home before the rain got heavy. But since the cab was delayed due to the wet asphalt, she was soaked before she got home. But in her mailbox she found a handwritten note from her new neighbours, The Dreamers, that invited her to stop by when she came home, because they would love to meet her.

So she stopped by. Darren and Darlene was perfectly nice - and incredibly curious to where she was from. And why she had chosen Legacy Island. And what she was planning on doing.
But at the Dreamers she also met Daniel.


Daniel Pleasant was everything his name promised. He was pleasant, charismatic and genuinely interested in her life. They talked for a while, about her new home, her old town and his job. She noticed that Darren and Darlene started looking at the watch, so they took off to their respective homes - but she remembered him and her first day on Legacy Island, with happiness.

So, since i'm not much of a writer - and not even a native english speaker - you must bear with my attempt to make a story... I have a idea for a storyline - but not sure how to play it out (;.

    1. Hey Cali :D The world is from Rflong7's collection - This version is called Legacy Island II which specifically has Legacy Players in mind. I just didn't want to use the large legacy lot in the middle of everything (; Wanted to try a few houses first.
      But it's beautiful and credit should be where credit's due: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/495/389043.page
      Scroll down a bit to see Legacy Island II (:

      Nicole on the other hand is a real newcomer... She knows absolutely squat :P At least yet.
