Lenny Chapter 1 - The Single Life

 Lenny was not eager to get out there and start dating after Ashley. Instead he drowned his sorrows in drink. This didn't make him happy, but at least it didn't hurt him like Ashley did.

Soon Lenny realized he needed a job. He was slowly drinking his 20 simoleans away. In the paper he noticed an opening for "organ donor". "I have extra organs to give away!" Lenny thought. This was the beginning of his recovery. He didn't realize it then but the medical field was exactly what he wanted and needed to get back on his feet both emotionally and financially.

And at work he met Perstephanie. She was funny, smart, and flirty. When she invited him to the art gallery after their shift he thought it was a date and made his move.

She was sweet and kissed him back, but than broke his heart telling him that she had a husband and children. This was not a date just two people hanging out at the art gallery. Once again Lenny was left alone and sad. This time instead of delving into drink he put all his effort into his job and quickly become a gene therapist.

Not too long after that Lenny met the roller coaster Hinni. She was super hot and just as romantic as Lenny. They hit it off immediately and kept swapping flowers back and forth. She looked like the one.

But Hinni had a dark past. Her ex-boyfriend was a control freak and abusive. Lenny couldn't bare watching Hinni go though all that pain and told her to just stop seeing her ex. Hinni agreed but couldn't stay away. She got back with her ex and they got married after he got her pregnant. Lenny tried to save her but she didn't want to be saved.

Lenny turned to his best friend for advise. After telling him the whole story his friend exclaimed, "Dude! Take a chill pill. She'll find you when the time is right." Lenny knew he was right. It took time but Lenny learned to be ok with being alone.

He started reading and writing a blog. He took up crafts like pumpkin carving. He was finally happy exactly where he was.

Next time....

 Lenny had the worst luck with women. They loved him but they were all taken! I used the "ask to break up with sim" interaction countless times but he never wanted to go steady so they just ended up hooking up with someone else. (I'm using a story progression mod) It was true that Lenny went from depressed all the time to being happy as his career advanced.

Founder - Lenny

Meet Lenny Acumen. More than anything he wants a secure future and to do that he needs simoleans. Lots of simoleans. (LTW Swimming in Cash)

If you were to ask his friends they would say he's a genius but lacks common sense. To make up for that he's extremely lucky. He is also a perfectionist who loves his money (frugal). The one thing he'll never admit but is truly his only downfall to being successful in money is that he's hopelessly romantic.

BACKGROUND

Lenny was in love with his high school sweetheart Ashley. She was crazy, fun, and super sexy. Lenny thought himself lucky that she liked him. But what he didn't know was she was just taking advantage of his romantic nature.

They lived in Bridgeport but Ashley wanted someplace quieter. Someplace she could relax (and party). Lenny didn't hesitate to offer his savings to move them to Isla Paradiso and buy a house. Ashley was ecstatic and as soon as they graduated they were off to the islands.

Everything turned sour once they got there. Ashley fell in love with some muscular tanned native that promised her endless adventure and amazing woohoo. She left Lenny with the house he bought and 20 simoleans in his pocket. Unable to return home Lenny sets out to find his wealth; and someone to mend his broken heart.

Introduction

This is my new Sims 3 Legacy wishacy challenge starting with a sim I created in the original Sims game Lenny Acumen. I am using the rules found here and I'm planning to play this family until generation 10 or until I get bored with them; whichever comes first.

I will be randomizing most traits. There is the family trait of genius  and I pick the trait when they age from teen to adult. Also I will usually pick the recommended trait for the university stuff.

I have done regular legacy challenges up to generation 9. I originally posted the story on a forum but I may at some point switch to blogger. You can find the Dower family legacy story here if you're interested.

So here it goes...wish me luck!
