"Howdy Partners, have I got a deal for you! Goopy's Used Car Emporium has just opened to the public, and we've got red hot deals... scorching I tell you, for our Grand Opening! We have luxury cars, mini compact cars, pick-up trucks, vans and if you come down now... we will knock a whole two dollars and fifty cents off the price of your car. What will it take for me to sell you a car, do you want to see the Goopster dance like a chicken, freestyle, have a baby to an alien? I'll do whatever it takes to make you drive something off this lot! Well, the ones that will actually start up that is."

Oh yeah, the Uglacies have gone into business!!! So welcome back to the legacy that's just a little bit "different". So did you really think the Uglacies would run a nice little flower shop... HA.

"See this truck behind me, it comes complete with a toolbox and fuzzy dice... doesn't it just say style! What? You're not here to buy? You want a tour? Geesh... what a waste of my charisma points. Well alrighty then."

Goopy's Car Emporium... now the Uglacies have earned lots and lots of money, over 320,000 honestly. And so I plunge in with dollars to spend, but I won't have all the generations to earn bonuses that Pinstar is figuring out as we speak. Pinstar is the person who wrote the rules to the legacy challenge... and actually does hang out at the Boolprop Forum, and is currently writing the rules to Open For Business. You can check out Pinstar's rules, posting, and FAQs at www.boolprop.com because I've been asked a lot about legacy playing. And the Uglacies really have not seen any cheats... and play by the rules... except when glitches force me to cheat. Grrrr.

The Showroom, and walls are down purposely of course. Also includes bathroom and employee lounge. Are you bored yet... well let's check out Goopy's private office.

Oh my, is that a woohoo bed, fireplace, and love couch? Could Goopy possibly have ulterior motives? Whatever could my romance sim be thinking?

"Ok tour's over. I got cars to sell!"

Is Goopy not the perfect car salesman... really? I thought long and hard about what the Uglacies could do. It was this or coffins-are-us.

The first simself on our lot! It seems only right that it would be Hiddenunderabed, and if you haven't checked out her PSG legacy... you are in for a treat.

"So what do you think of this flaming truck?"

"Uh, I think I'd rather have a convertible."

"No, no, convertibles are so over-rated. This truck is you! Just think, if you ever have to give PSG a ride, you can put her in the back."

"Hmmm, that is a plus. But the gas mileage, I just don't know..."

"Sims don't pay for gas."

"I'll take it then!"

"Cash or charge?"

"Well I just got that big inheritance from Gage Uglacy, a whopping $760... let's go cash."

Riddle me this, batman... how did Mel get that pick-up truck in the shopping bag?

Ah well, ring her up Goopy. Our first sale!

"Whoa howdy, that was an exhausting day. I need some aspiration boosting, you know the drill, meet someone new, ask out on date..."

Gads, romance sims, I am so tired of this. Ok, Goopy... downtown with you.

"Oh hello miss, you shop here often?"

"Actually, I do, since there's only two stores in the whole downtown area. I'm Swiffner by the way, you might have heard of me, I write the Mythology Legacy."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, about all those Gods. Well just let me know when you need the God of Fashion. So um, mind helping me get my aspirations up a bit?"

"Uh, I don't know Goopy, I kind of need to get home, work on my legacy..."

Oh whoa, guys slow down!!! I mean seriously, I have never seen two sims build up a relationship this fast and furious.

Hey, you're in a store Swiffner, like show some class! Geesh, where is Miss Crumplebottom when you need her!!!

Oh sure, now you're best friends... well I would hope so after that lip action.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help Goopy get platinum for you."

Yeah sure, pfft... I saw your aspirations flying everywhere too... and making out before you're even best friends... well I don't want to say your simself is easy... but...

"Oh dear God, Swiffner, what are you doing?"

"Oh hi Dor! Goopy is just the best tickler... hee, hee, hee."

"Show some restraint girl! Don't you know that Uglacies are just bad news!"

Yeah, sure Dor. Like you showed restraint with Gage in the hot tub, eh? Dor is still trying to live that one down at the Boolprop forum. And I am worried about Dor's simself because it seems oddly attracted to the "wrong" kind of guys.

See what I mean?

"So exactly what do you do for a living, Mr?"

"Count, actually. Count Tyson. And my job is to wander the town, turning sims into the undead, and I like to clean windows and trim bushes as well."

I was waiting on the edge of my seat for him to turn Dor into a vampire, but the sun was comming up... so he had to take off. Dor, really, I need to find you a nice sim guy. Oh wait, this is the Uglacy Legacy... scratch that. The vampire probably is your best bet.

"Oh Swiffner, take me home to your legacy, please!"

Ahh, how sweet is that. Go ahead, Swiff, you can have him.

"I don't want him."

No, no, I insist. He's all yours. The God Of Goopy. Have fun with that.

The very next night Swiffner brought Goopy a Karaoke machine... I marvel at how the sims imitate life. Swiffner had told me before she loves Karaoke. Of all the gifts she could have bestowed on my little Goopy.

You really like him, don't you Swiff.

"Shut up Candi, just wait till I marry you into my Mythology... you will be so sorry."

As for the rest of the Uglacies, well, Queenie started her third job today... SWAT team.

"This bullet-proof vest really chafs me!"

Sorry Queenie, but you rolled the want for Captain Hero. She's been a Celebrity Chef, and a Professional Party Guest. This will be her third LTW. By the way, Queenie is my hardest working sim ever. She cleans, gardens, and paints all on her own. I really have come to love her. And usually I loathe Popularity sims.

Another simself! My, my but the Uglacies are popular. And who came home with Rhoda today from school? It's Katt! (Alias beakerbite who writes the Lothario Legacy.) She doesn't look too happy tho.

"Man, all the kids at Sim High are going to raz me about this. Everyone knows the Uglacy kids are wierdos."

"I have a best friend!!!"

Not that that's what she really wants Katt. Rhoda is a romance sim, not a popularity sim, so just be careful, Katt, that's all I'm saying. You don't want to know what aspirations she's rolling up.

Speaking of best friends, Emily Rose has one too. Stefani, who has been comming over since the last chapter. (Secret alias... SimQueenie-writes the Kitchel Family).

"So you are so not going to believe what people having been saying about me, Stefani!"

"Oh my gosh, like what Emily?"

"They think I look like Michael Jackson. Can you believe it?!"

Oh my Lordy, how could I not see this before! For all of you signing my Guestbook with that comment, geesh!!! You are so right!

"Uh, uh..."

"I don't look anything like him, do I Stef?"

"Well, I , well... I plead the fifth, Emily."

This qualifies as one of those times when its ok to tell a little, white lie to your best friend. Or in this case, a whopper of a lie. And of course there was only one thing to do, but I have to warn you that the following pictures may be disturbing...

*Cue Michael Jackson music... specifically Thriller*

"It's close to Midnight, something's evil lurking in the dark.
By the moonlight, You see a sight that almost stops your heart.
You try to screeeam but terror takes the sound before you make it,
You start to freeeeze, and someone looks right between your eyes...
Your very eeeeyes..."

"Cause it's a Thrilller, thriller night and no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike!"

Turn the page>>> the next one's even worse.

"You know it's a Thrrilller, thriller night, you're fighting for your life..."
