Generation One : - The Runaway - “Criminal falls in love & changes their heart”
(inspired by MissLollypop’s legacy stories challenge so it might sound very similar!! I really liked how they started their challenge :) Credit to MissLollypop for the story idea!! https://misslollypopsims.tumblr.com/post/663620963346333696/mls-legacy-stories-challenge
Story - 💕
When you were a child, you were often forgotten and left to fend for yourself. Your parents had no intention of raising you or even loving you. So, you grew up quite independent and angry. When you got old enough you realized that you had no intention of maintaining a relationship with your family… or even having one of your own.
So, when you aged up to a teenager, you decided you’ve had enough. You would look around at your fellow classmates who have these large families with money and you couldn't help but resent them. After falling in with the wrong crowd, you earned a disdain for education and being in high school at all. So, you decided to leave it all behind. You didn’t really have anyone you cared about in your old life so it would be easy, right? Living life as a runaway teen wasn’t the life you originally wanted. But, if you were being honest, it was much better than your life at home. Scavenging in dumpsters and being a petty thief became your usual day to day, the only thing that made your “life” worth something was working out. Punching a boxing bag or jogging down the pier made you feel alive.
But, after a while of living on your own and rummaging to survive, you realize you needed something more. Maybe some nice food? Without a highschool education it became pretty difficult to find a job. Eventually, you meet a well-known drug dealer who took pity on you and decided to train you in their business, officially starting your life as a criminal. Surprisingly, you were pretty successful. Your lack of emotions and loner lifestyle made you perfect for the career of a drug dealer. After successfully making a pretty good life for yourself by flying through the ranks and becoming well respected in the business, for some reason, you felt unsatisfied. Your life felt empty, without meaning. Now, being an adult you started to feel regret for the choices you made in high school, wishing more than anything you could go back and change your decisions.
Soon enough, you meet someone that makes you rethink everything. You fall in love. Your life feels like it was turned upside down, everything you once thought was wrong and now you want a different life. Your partner encourages you to be yourself, the person you were before all the resentment and anger. They understand how difficult your life was and accept you, for you. It makes you feel loved for the first time in your life. You started to imagine what it would be like to have a family of your own with your partner, to feel loved and to love others. You decide to quit your job as a drug dealer and become a stay-at-home parent and do whatever you can to be a super parent to your kids. You decide to give your kids the life you wanted, the life you deserved. Soon, you found true meaning to your life and realized all along, it was family.
Oh, how love could change a heart.

Generation Two : - The Detective - “Rookie police officer finds new love in the city”
Story - 🚓
Growing up, you had a nearly perfect childhood. Your parents made sure that you lived a life full of love and care. And you were incredibly grateful for the life they gave you! You were encouraged to be yourself and do your best at school or whatever extracurricular you were in. But you were good at them all! You loved school and were always getting great grades, but also excelled in athletics! You always assumed your parents had the “perfect” life since they never really talked about their past, and you were happy!!
But, as you grew up you accidentally found the truth about your mom/dad’s past and what they did when they were younger. They were a criminal. Although you loved your mom/dad, your whole childhood was a lie! They raised you to have extremely strong morals, to always follow the law, and be kind to others, no matter what. You felt betrayed by them. For the rest of your teenhood, your relationship with your mom/dad became difficult. You couldn’t help but argue with them about basically everything. You couldn’t believe they lied to you or planned on never telling you! You value honesty over EVERYTHING, so how could you trust your mom/dad now? Luckily, you had one person to help you through everything. Your boyfriend/girlfriend. They were there for you to vent, cry, or whatever you needed. They were your rock.
When you became a young adult, your mom/dad had a deep conversation with you about their past and why they did what they did. It was difficult to hear about everything they went through. So, you felt bad for the way you treated your mom/dad after they struggled and sacrificed so much for you. When you realized how lucky your mom/dad was to escape the criminal life and to live a wonderful life, it made you think about all those runaway kids out there who will fall into the criminal life and most likely never make it out. So, you decided to become a detective. To help those in need, and to be there when others need you. Unlike anyone your mom/dad had. Plus, you would be really good at it. You're smart, athletic, and confident, and value honesty above everything! It would be perfect. So, you and your girlfriend/boyfriend move to the big city to pursue your newly formed dream! It was rough at first, being a rookie officer, but you loved it. Solving crimes and punishing people who hurt others like your mom/dad felt empowering. But, your whole life was about to change.
After finally being promoted to detective, you meet your new partner. The two of you IMMEDIATELY hit it off. Soon, you were going to the gym together, getting coffee before work and before long, you became really close. Not to mention they were incredibly attractive and free-going like you. You loved going out to nightclubs, bars and just being a young adult! But, someone was holding you back. Your girlfriend/boyfriend was the opposite, a homebody who was ready to settle down, maybe move back to the countryside. But, you weren’t ready for a family, kids. You were just starting off your career! You loved them, but your visions for the future were so different. It was becoming more and more difficult to share your cramped one-bedroom apartment with them and their constant nagging. But, you’re loyal… right?
Sometimes you need to learn how to forgive.
