Founder

Janet Chant is reborn as a Genie and lands in Lucky Palms to start her Life State Dynasty.



Once she's confident enough with her chess, she invites ranked players to achieve the title of Grand Master.



When she's not working at the hospital, Janet finds time to discover potions.



She enjoys teaching others the logic skill.



Those medical journals take up quite a bit of her time as she's not a bookworm.



Time to marry Hanson Gilbert. The television is permanently stuck on the Kids Zone channel.



Here, she poses in her museum.

I used CC skin for Janet, she is pale blue in CAS but shows up as 'creamy' during gameplay.

Good luck with the speed run, NJ. Wish that life has been good for you

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks, Luna <3

[Eldridge]

Oooh! You're back! With a different story, it’s nice to see Janet herself who become the challenger for her own story. This will be neat for future reference of Family Tree Hope everything good for you and you get something that you wanted, Nettlejuice. And oh I already watched I’m a Cyborg but that’s OK. That movie was amazing, thank for your recommendation

And I’m curious about the Town theme. Good luck and make it through HOF!

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks for reading, Eld <3 Glad you enjoyed the movie. I always loved the name Vienna, and when Janet had triplets I randomly gave them city names. The future heirs will have different themes though.

[Trip]

Good luck with the speed run!

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks, Trip <3

[butterfly]

The Chants are back!! Good luck with this dynasty! I love the name theme!

[Nettlejuice]

Thank you, Butterfly! <3

So, I'm at the point where gen five will be born soon and ran out of theme names. I'd love to get some suggestions, but I won't consider colours or fruits/vegetables. Thanks in advance!

[pugster101]

Good Luck!

Handy Hit: Don't let your laptop give out and you have to reboot it! (From personal experience...)

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks, Pug. I don't play on a laptop as I prefer PCs - though that doesn't mean it I don't have problems with it, lol.

[Nettlejuice]

Second Generation

Hanson and the spares were booted out.

New York:



Paris:



Rome:



Kensington remains a doll for now.



Vienna chooses to romance the new girl in town, Julia - it only lasts until Prom Night when Julia wants to go steady and Vienna rejects her.



She paints and becomes a self employed painter.



With her career maxed, she moves on to sculptures.



There's nothing like fairy plasma.



This lucky guy is one of five to be turned.



Kensington becomes real and they go steady.



Proposal.



They're so cute together.





Janet cries her eyes out. Her little girl is all grown up.



Vienna can sleep peacefully now that her museum is all done and nooboos are on the way.

[Eldridge]

For Llama sake! You did splendid job to turn your Sims into something else, Nettlejuice! I love New York second to that is Rome for the spares, he looks like bishounen and they're so gorgeous XD

Congrats for Vienna! Llamatulations!

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks a lot, Eld. I forgot to change Paris's clothes before kicking them out so he was stuck in ugly clothes, lol. I really, really wanted New York to be the heir, if only this was an immortal dynasty, I'm finding myself growing attached to the spares before I love my heirs.

[Luna]

I love New York too! She is so gorgeous beyond the word! Ah, if only she's the heiress.
But, good job for Vienna! Can't wait to see the 3rd

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks, Luna ^_~ I've saved NY to the bin for future reference.

So, I'm at the point where gen five will be born soon and ran out of theme names. I'd love to get some suggestions, but I won't consider colours or fruits/vegetables. Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm on gen five and didn't get a response so I went for something random. I'm still open for suggestions.

[KRae]

I used towns in my state for my 4x4, but I've also considered countries, planets, stars, trees, Los Angeles area freeways (that one probably isn't a good idea), bones in the human body (also not so good, but there's a lot of them), National Parks. I have a lot of weird ideas.

Third Generation

Lullaby was lucky to find a romantic interest on the first day. Unfortunately for Dara, it was a short lived love.




Kensington and the spares are kicked out.

Siren Song:



Wendy Time:



Lullaby joins the journalism career. She decides her first interview would be her sister, Siren.



Lullaby: What's is like living with Dad and Wendy?

Siren: It's not so bad, at least Gran isn't on my case for being idle.



Siren: And another thing, Great-Uncle Gilbert is a fairy now. Do you think he'll be a future spouse?

Lullaby: Please, no.



Sadly, positive reviews don't boost her career performance.



There are other ways to write articles that involves a lot of this:



Now that writing out of the way, Lullaby borrows a few friendship elixirs from her Gran's cupboard and begins a long day of meeting new sims.



Love at first sight.



Lullaby: A special kiss for you, my love.



All her requirements are finished and she immediately proposes to Ezekiel.



It seems like only yesterday she'd been a toddler babbling her first few words.





Vienna is overjoyed to see at least one daughter married.



Lullaby's completed museum.

Siren is gorgeous but I loved Wendy Time more!

And I loved how you did makeover to Ezekiel. Well, he's not my taste though even he's far better than he was before LOL. I can't wait to see the 4th! Good luck, NJ ♥

[Nettlejuice]

Wendy was fun to makeover, as was Ezekiel - he's a great father and the next gen are just gorgeous.

[Nettlejuice]

Fourth Generation

The house is almost full so the spares and Ezekiel are off.

Shilling:



Farthing:



Tuppence loves using the Wood Fire Oven, tossing those pizzas. It also helps with her culinary career.



She also makes use of the community garden to start her own garden.



A little fairy magic help.



She speeds through her requirements and chooses her spouse through the short list of male witches.



Arron is only too happy to accept her proposal. The couple opt for a private wedding.




Finally, nooboos are on the way.

[Eldridge]

Wow, two generations at once.

For 3rd Generation. I love Wendy Time but Siren Song also gorgeous!
And I love when Lullaby blow kiss to Ezekiel! She looks so kakkoi with that eye patch XD
Ezekiel also not a bad choice! He looks good actually after the makeover!
And the wedding! I just love to see that Lullaby wearing crown and what they're wearing is so perfect for each other!
Congratulations, Lullaby!

For 4th Generation, it's pretty quick! I haven’t see Arron in close up view! So, I don't know about his overall face. I love the pattern that you used for each generation that makes them so unique!  In this generation the thing that catch my eyes is that bed pattern!
Congratulations, Tuppance!

Go, Go, Go Nettlejuice!

[Nettlejuice]

The eye patch is just perfect for Lullaby, I'll have close ups of each of them after I've completed the dynasty (I'm very close now) so you can see it properly. Tuppence finished everything at lightening speed so I didn't take many screenshots.

[Nettlejuice]

Fifth Generation

As lovely as they are, the spares and Arron must leave.

Kitty:



Nathaniel:



Ramuthra:



Asmira leafs through the ancient alchemy book and picks up new elixir recipes quite quickly.



She finds the last alchemy books at the local bookstore and reads at the elixir store.



Her final few elixirs are ready.



Asmira throws a party for Chants only. For what purpose?



A chance to throw all those elixirs, of course. Her friendship with her father has dwindled somewhat after he'd moved out. It was great to see Janet and Hanson were still in love. That's Hanson's brother, Gilbert.



There were also some Chants she hadn't met before, like Uncle Farthing - he was a little tired but the invigorating elixir put that right.



Time to practise magic.



And cure those unfortunate zombie victims.



A quick trip to France and she can work on a career now. Her mum has been growing grapes since Asmira's birth. Squashing fruits is slippery work.



Once she gets the hang of things, she switches grapes for Orange and Lime flavoured nectar.



Asmira completes her requirements and museum. She asks Rolando Lancaster to go steady and asks him to forsake the fae.




Ariel Hudson passes on the werewolf curse and we're good to go.



Proposal.



Wedding.





Four ladies watching over them.



The thought of being locked in her museum room scares Asmira.

[Eldridge]

For the spares, I love Ramuthra as the first choice, she looks so unique and Kitty after that.
I loved Asmira so far, but all of Chants are gorgeous! Congratulations for the 5th!

[pugster101]

Wait, I don't want to be a jerk or anything, but I think this dynasty is over....


For toddler requirements, it says to learn 3 skills. For gen 3 I only saw two. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but still. Again, I don't want to be a jerk, but I just noticed that...

[Trip]

Toddler requirements is two skills, not three. The dynasty is still in the clear.

[Nettlejuice]

@Eld - It's so hard to play this when I start favouring spares over heirs, lol.
@Pug - I think you got a bit confused as they need to get to level three of the two skills they learn.
@Trip - Thanks for clearing it up ^_^

[Luna]

I think every Sims that ended in your hand turned to be gorgeous, NJ. You should consider to open your own saloon later

Congratulations on 5th!

[Eldridge]

@Eld - It's so hard to play this when I start favouring spares over heirs, lol.

Haha, that's right Nettlejuice! Why your spares are always end up gorgeous anyway?
But, Asmira win over my heart because of her hairstyle I love that hair!
You said that you almost finished or maybe already finished by now. Well, good luck for the rest!

[Nettlejuice]

@Luna - Oh, I run out of ideas pretty quickly, lol. I tried to make sure to use hairstyles, clothes and patterns I hadn't already from my immortal dynasties. Thank you for the great compliment <33
@Eld - I finished last night, now I need to sort through the last heir's screenshots, take extras screenshots and then post it up later today =D

[Nettlejuice]

Sixth Generation

Goodbye to Crunchie and Rolando.

Crunchie:



Wispa didn't roll any specific skill based traits so she took up inventing.



And burnt her butt several times. There's a shower nearby, of course.



150 items detonated? Check.




The full moon doesn't stop her from pursuing her true love.



Hopeless romantics sure are cute.



Ethan forsakes his vampire powers.




Wispa receives the Key to the City. Crunchie is among the few sims who turned up to congratulate her.



Ethan has a makeover and the two are quickly married before everyone complains about being drenched.




Wispa's museum.

Sorry about the earlier confusion  . So, since u only have one generation left, what will you do next?

[Nettlejuice]

@Pug - Not to worry ^_^ Not too sure what I'll do next as I'm training from Monday for my new job.

Last update coming up.

[Nettlejuice]

Seventh Generation

Drew's one of the prettiest sims I've ever had. She's kicked out and so is Ethan when Audrey is a child.



Audrey tackles her first set of skill challenges: street art.



She's soon arrested and fined Ł1,000.



Street art is easily achieved, so she moves on to mixology. She breaks many glasses in the following days.



It still takes a while for her to create good quality drinks.



Soon, Audrey is able to moonlight at bars.



And host parties to serve all those drinks.



The pain of board breaking is indescribable.



Audrey gets the hang of her martial arts to break oak boards and get those gem cuts.



Her favourite place to play for tips is at the Civic Centre.



She didn't receive the stereo from her music career, so she took up ghost hunting.



At long last, her museum is done.

[Eldridge]

Congratulations on finishing Nettlejuice!
Where is Rolando? I only can see Crunchie anyway. Congratulations Wispa!
Too bad the gorgeous always kicked out from your household! I never play with mixology, its fun?

[pugster101]

I've done mixology before, but I don't like using it for supermaxes or skill challenges since their isn't a trait involved with it. But congratulations! You should probably put up something like "DONE!" or "MOVE TO COMPLETED STORIES!" so that the mods know you finished and you can be in the Hall of Fame. YAY!

[Trip]

I'll move this to the Completed Dynasties board, but you should also make sure to contact Metro so he can get your entry into the Hall of Fame.

Congrats on finishing!

[LenaLJ]

So fast and so beautifull, I really adored the looks of all your sims. Congrats on finishing.

[Luna]

Congratulations on finishing! I can't wait to see you being featured in HOF

[Turoskel]

Congratulations Nettlejuice, that was so fast too, mine is more of a snail crawl than a speed run but you've inspired me to try and push them along a bit faster.

Good luck in your new job as well 

[butterfly]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That was extremly fast, I'm impressed. You were so lucky to have non-generuc looking sims and they're gorgeus. Just curious, will there be another Chant dynasty except the Immortal one? I'm really into them.

[Nettlejuice]

@Eld - Rolando was the husband, not a spare child. Mixology is so much fun, I wish I could supermax it but I don't have space to add all the LN lots =[
@Pug - I think party animal is a good trait, I haven't tried this out yet though.
@Turoskel - It went surprisingly fast as I'm used to playing one sim at a time so I decided for a speed run. Plus having kids after the requirements was a huge help =] Thank you, I'm enjoying it so far - even if it is only day two.
@Butterfly - I'll have to see after Christmas, busy with work for now.

Thank you everyone, I'm sorry I didn't include more screenshots but I wanted to complete at least one challenge this year and hopefully I gave the girls enough screen time each <3

[Metropolis Man]

@Nettlejuice — great job! I squeezed you into the Dynasty Hall of Fame in this post. Congratulations again.

[saltpastillen]

Congratulations on finishing! I just finished reading and it was a very enjoyable read

[Nettlejuice]

@Metro - Thank you so much <3
@Salt - That means a lot to me as I love all your stories, thanks for taking the time to read mine <3

[Luna]

You did it, NJ. Congratulations on HOF *dance happily*
I can't wait to see another challenge that you'll pick later or the continuation of the current story later

[Nettlejuice]

Thanks, Luna <3

[AkonIsAwesome]

Wow, I'm really amazed at how quickly you finished this! Congratulations!

[Nettlejuice]

I had a lot of fun, might go for an unofficial one once I get time. Thanks for reading ^.~ <3

[Magz from Oz]

I'm late to the wrap-up party but congratulations on finishing.  Your Sims were certainly interesting and varied.

Wow.. That was fast. Good looking family.. Congrats.

@sdhoey Thank you  I've played this challenge so many times and it's still my favourite of Sims 3.
