I wonder who that is...👀

I don't want to count my chicken before they hatch but, perhaps I spoke too quickly making that goodbye Doyle Legacy post.

While cleaning out my folders preparing to leave everything behind I found a VERY VERY OLD gameplay save, a save where Lucile was barley an infant.

I've aged her up manually hoping to avoid the infants bug she got that caused her to corrupt my game so horribly.

So I took that baby Lucile & replaced her with a doppelganger & aged her up through CAS.

I'm not making any promises but, at least while I'm testing on a new save.... Everything seems to be running smoothly.

Cross your fingers for me & play to that big plumbob in the sky that I can still save her!(and my Legacy)

Farewell The Doyle Legacy!

A small compilation dedicated to Eddy & Helena Harrington the founders of my Doyle Legacy♥

Helena Doyle Harrington was a woman of unwavering strength and resilience, She endured hardships from a young age, losing her mother to illness and began selling herself in Finchwick to survive. Yet, she never lost her spirit or her drive to make a better life for herself.

She squatted in a abandoned hunters cabin in the Bramblewoods which ultimately would lead her to meet the owner & her future husband Edward Harrington who had lost everything in the 1893 Silver Panic along with his entire family to Illness.

Helena was a victim of sexual & physical abuse, she was often afraid but Eddy despite coping with the loss of his family prioritized caring for Helena.

Even with Helena's negative reputation while working as a prostitute Eddy showered her with gentle care.

They quickly went from Roommates to lovers and with an unexpected baby on the way they became husband and wife. The pregnancy forced the couple to dive head first into working hard to turn the property into a functioning farm so their family could survive.

the couples wedding was simple and very private.

The couple Maxed out their gardening skills as they raised their children & sold the produce for profit.

Eddy and Helena always wanted the best for their kids and raised them strictly on the life of farming & teaching skills they deemed important for men & women to learn!

Being self sufficient was very important to them & they were confident their children would have a place to raise their own children on the property in the future.

But, as Eddy and Helena's children grew older they found it more difficult each day to keep their goals aligned with their own.

This left a lot of unresolved around the house and ultimately resulted in Eddy & Helena making major life decisions for their children in order to force their lives into the way they thought was best.

Silas was forced into a arranged marriage via ultimatum to ensure he'd take control of the family farm and Lucile was left to hurt own devices with the impression she would be always be taken care of. Lucile was often left alone and her goals were put on the back burner since Silas was the first born meant to shoulder ownership of the property.

After Eddy fell Ill Helena heavily devoted all her time to caring for him which lead to her getting the illness herself.

Eddy and Helena both started to deteriorate from tuberculosis and their care fell heavily upon their children's shoulders.

At this point I could no longer continue playing the save but eventually Helena and Eddy would've passed along side each other as the era entered the 1910's. Eddy and Helena were devoted to one another and worked hard their whole lives to turn an abandoned property far from town into a livable space their children could inherit.

Several times Eddy & Helena went hungry so their children did not.

Farewell Eddy and Helena you will be greatly missed!

When an afternoon stroll started to turn down unfamiliar lanes, and Kit began to fidget beside her, Meg's suspicions were well and truly aroused. Though she had grown wise to her husband's love of surprises, nothing had quite prepared her for the sight of the farmhouse, nestled at the edge of the forest.

Plumbob Gods have decided.

Welp, I've tried everything but at this point, there's no saving the Doyle family.

Because whatever happened with Lucile had such a strong affect on the save, I think I just need to accept that it would be better to start from scratch :(

whatever save the doyle family is on, Even a new game or a whole new electronics arts folder..... it breaks apart. I'm gonna take this experience as a lesson learned and just make effort to do more backups/saves than normal so I don't have to struggle like this again.

THAT BEING SAID I'm gonna make some tribute posts for the family next to atleast give em a good goodbye for the blog.

Thanks everyone who read my lil sim stories, I really do appreciate all the nice messages I get from peeps.

I'm gonna rip up my mods folder and clean it out so the next adventure is more clean. Besides the infants bug causing issue it probably(definitely) did NOT help I had over 100 GB of CC in my mods folder.

I kept them updated but it was still a lot! LOL

Thanks for peeps being understanding cause I for real tried everything :(

Doyle Legacy might be ending

There's a very high possibility the Doyle legacy might come to end :( I'm going through cc and I'm gonna try to rebuild Lucile but the months of work has worn be down, playing sims is supposed to be fun... I'm trying to stay a positive as I can atm and if worse come to worse I'll look at it in a positive light. I made a lot of mistakes on the timeline, my writing has improved a little & when I started my decades we didn't even have horse ranch!

If I ended up starting over I might start in 1880 which would allow me to pick up a storyline circled witnessing the END of the Wild West Era. I'm gonna finish sim decoration CC I was making in dedication to Eddy who is by far my favorite Male sim EVER.

I'll be heart broken if I can't do it since I've been building up things in my story for so long but y'know at the end of the day they're just pixels.

If it comes to an end I'll share was screenshots I've had saved and couldn't share.

#sorry y'all #I'm really sad and dissapointed too but im trying to fix #Doyle Legacy

Bibury, 1895

Emmeline

I suppose I’ve become quite the seamstress!

Almira has allowed me to alter some of her old dresses to fit myself, and I’m glad to finally be out of that tight-fitting bad memory. Still, the woman hasn't updated her wardrobe in quite some time, and I am reminded of my mother: whoever thought the bustle was a good idea did not have a posterior like my own!

Without the help of a lady’s maid, my hair has suffered likewise, though I have never been one to fuss very much over my own appearance. It's nice not to be made to. I have found myself surprisingly appreciative of the work I have been given; it keeps me from wallowing too much in my own hurt, which seems to grow by the day, rather than heal with time. I believe now that I have settled, in some sense, I've been given time to think about it all: Kenneth’s betrayal, Mother’s, the destruction of my manuscript, and — most of all — how dearly I miss my children.

I find I often dream of Kenneth and I, at home and happily wed, without any of the pain that has come to define our marriage to me in the day. It all feels so enticingly real until I wake, and I am enraged at his betrayal all over again.

At least the renewal of spring approaches — I must look forward to that, rather than think about how my condition grows with its coming...

Hey guys! guess who was the culprit for corrupting herself so bad on age up that she would make every new game unplayable!

THEN when you used conflict detector, better exception or even hand picking through all ur mods and CC RAW ( a process that took literally several weeks and hours ) it would just say a script mod was the problem :) but it wasn't... Lucile.....How could my own Heir betray me like this.

Hours of frustration! I'll be honest, If I didn't already start over from scratch after my Coombes legacy broke I would have started over.

But I'm gonna take a deep breath and try again. I'm gonna try remaking Lucile from scratch and if by chance something happens despite all my back up and saves, I'll just say it wasn't meant to be and start over with a new family.

I REALLY don't want to do that but if something breaks again I'll believe god or some higher power demands this sim not exist 😭

you don't gotta reply but I just wanted to say ty for the Brindleton Save bc my save recently got corrupted, I lost mostly everything map wise and this really helped me keep my sanity together. have a good day!

awwww thank you so much!! honestly this is like such a sweet message to get 🥹🥹

I am so happy that the save made your simming easier 💕💕💕 i adore seeing you all use it and the stories that come from it 🥰

#as soon as I can get my game working properly I've very excited to have my babies live and explore it!

[antiquatedsimmer]

I've been quietly doing a Decades Challenge in my spare time for over a year, and I've finally reached the 2010s.

But one of the most prominent characters throughout the (sim) years is Velma Frances "Vee" Robinson, who married my gen. 2 heir in 1934 and just stole the show - from being a wartime housewife to becoming a successful businesswoman, cat sanctuary manager, and an eccentric great-grandma.

She's lived through two world wars and a scandalous divorce, always with a cig in her hand and a cat by her side - and she is still around in 2010, at the ripe age of 97!

I've loved playing with her so far and just wanted to share a few snapshots I've collected over the years.

#they're so sweet im in love!!!

WARNING: THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SEXUAL THEMES/TRAUMA INVOLVING THOSE THEMES

If those topics will make you uncomfortable do not read ahead. Subtitles will be available undercut if you prefer to read instead of view images. Thank you!

Subtitles undercut:

Silas found himself unable to put into words the jumble of emotions swirling within him—a chaotic symphony of everything and nothing all at once.

After briefing Lucile on how to tend to their ailing parents, Silas and Josephine stepped out into the night, heading back toward their farmhouse. Silas moved like an empty vessel, each step echoing in his ears.

As Silas and Josephine readied for bed, the room's oppressive silence threatened to drown them. Only the occasional creaks of the mattress, adjusting under Silas's weight, dared to break the stillness.

Josephine pondered whether reaching out to Silas was even worth the effort. The sorrow in his eyes spoke volumes, yet every attempt at connection had failed.

With a sigh, she emerged from behind the vanity screen, attempting once more to bridge the gap. "I was thinking of dedicating my free time to helping Lucile care for your parents. I'll assist in keeping the house in order and ensuring they receive the care they need to recover."

Silas, a mask of emotionlessness, turned to look at her.

Josephine settled into her bed, expecting the familiar silence. However, she was taken aback when she felt a pair of arms encircle her.

"Silas?" she queried, but before she could voice her confusion, he gripped her waist and planted tender kisses on the back of her neck.

Josephine felt a mixture of nervousness and bewilderment.

"Is this how it's supposed to feel?" "This is normal, right?" "I'm being a good wife?"

As Silas's fingers slipped beneath her gown, their touch becoming more insistent, Josephine forced a smile, attempting to cooperate as best she could. "Luci did say he never acted this way with anyone else," Josephine winced at his harsh movements, but Silas seemed oblivious to her discomfort.

The only thing circulating through her head was,

"This must be a good thing."

OOC POST TALKIN

OOC: just for a bit of explanation for why I went this way with the story, I feel like a lot of uncomfortable topics stray away from the idea of " Wifely duties " and I know women through history struggled heavily with that concept being forced onto them. Josephine was been conditioned to have certain standards as a wife and having Silas as a character be very disconnected with his emotions I saw a potential for important character building.

Also just wanted to note since I have said publicly he has never felt Sexual or Romantic feelings, this is not a product of that. Sometimes when people are going through very stressful situations they do things/ even crazy stuff they.

Silas released a stressed sigh as he met the doctor in the hallway, the muffled sounds of Lucile's worried sobs resonating nearby as Josephine consoled her.

"How's she holding up?" Silas inquired, his worry etched on his face.

The doctor's expression remained stern. "Right now, Helena is holding on, but Eddy is deteriorating… I administered a dose of cough syrup, one teaspoonful every three or four hours. Keep cool damp washcloths on their heads and ensure they get plenty of rest."

"Is it just a cold? We've been battling Edwards for weeks."

The doctor shook his head, and his eyes dropped with a heaviness. "I'm afraid it's worse. Pneumonia is a harsh illness. I've given you all that I can and with how far the Illness has progressed, " The doctors words trailed off for a brief moment of silence, " my condolences Mr. Harrington. "

Silas's shoulders slumped, the weight of the revelation sinking in. A whirlwind of emotions hit him—sadness, shock, anger, and a few positive feelings he couldn't quite process.

"Mr. Harrington..."

The doctor's voice broke through the tumult in Silas's mind.

"Mr. Harrington."

Silas nodded, attempting to shake off the overwhelming emotions. "Yes, right, I understand."

The doctor continued, "I'll leave my contact info with you, and you can call me back if anything else occurs. I've written you a prescription that you can get refilled at the pharmacy."

Silas nodded mechanically as the doctor gathered his things, glancing over at Josephine, who was still lovingly holding onto Lucile, trying to calm her down.

Helena conducted her routine check-up on Eddy as he peacefully slept when an unexpected wave of exhaustion washed over her. Had their parlor always been this stiflingly hot?

The room seemed to twirl, and in an effort to draw a deep breath, a sharp pain pricked in her chest, unleashing a painful cough.

THUD

Lucile's head snapped up at the sudden sound. "Ma?"

" MAMA! SOMEONE HELP! "
