I meant to place these at the end of the last post but ran short on time as I had an elsewhere to be. As I noted previously I wasn't paying attention to which family's I plunked into the town for seeding the population. Turns out the ghost genetics from the West family are strong. I popped over to the theater to check on Darian and this is what I saw. Additionally, I've spotted a few green child ghosts floating around. Well at least now that I've got military cleared, the odds for lifting more base game variations on profession lifts have increased. Regarding that pool glitch with the sims getting stuck in the floor. Still not sure what caused it, but I'm not taking any chances on another repeat. ;)

I've got an odd feeling that at some point I've horribly bungled a rule or two, possibly as far back as with the founder, ah well ....... that happens especially when you constantly read & reread the rules one clear at a time. lol ;) Liadan's turn to transition to her adult years snuck up on her as she worked on an article for work. Noting his older brothers success, Darian called over his boss, after a long chat she gave him a promotion, he thanked her and promised to work on his guitar skills. That evening as Darian practiced grim showed up for Donte who had made it to 100+ sim days. For some very odd reason my game stops accurately tracking their ages after 100 days. Daphne shood grim and her brothers ghost, when you need to pee you need to pee. With Donte's passing the realization that Darian was the heir really started sinking in, especially when he formally took over the big bed and Daphne started sleeping in the basement. Comm's days Darian kept in touch with his band mates and the teens he had met at the park. Adaeze did her best to boost her speech skills. When Liadan's boss tasked her with talking to an informant at city hall she drafted Farran to go with her as a body guard. Darian celebrated his transition at the end of his work shift. A few days later he was notified that one of the teens he'd made friends with was finally old enough for courting. They talked briefly, long enough to learn that their zodiacs were incompatible, they parted friends. Darian wandered back inside to where everyone was working on improving their skills. After 100 the game stopped tracking Daphne's age. Darian's boss asked him to demo the guitar and give a talk on music at the school. Farran agreed to go as Darian's body guard. When the symphony director passed him over for a promotion, Darian talked directly to his own manager. She agreed that he'd gone above the call, especially by going to the school and talking to the little kids. She also advised that this was the last time she could step in on his behalf, from there out it was up to him. Everyone was working hard towards their assigned goals. Darian learned that another newly transitioned friend would be stopping by. He was pleased to learn that she was compatible, and happily the town council considered it safe for 4th remove cousins to have children together. Darian learned quickly that with Katherine he had to take it slow or she would reject him. Farran came home from work excited about his latest promotion. He was now an astronaut and had helped install satellite's. Most, but not all, travel restrictions were now lifted. More importantly he was moving out and taking Daphne with him. Farran pushed himself to reach his final promotion, frustrated he came home on a Friday once again passed over by a hairs width for advancement. This put him and Katherine in a hard position as he had hoped to marry her before their first child was born. Liadan & Adaeze continued to work hard. Liadan was closing in on her goal, whereas Adaeze had finally crested the midway mark. They all admitted that Adaeze really wasn't the right sort for politics, but admired her courage for trying her best. Then the agency sent over the third teen, now young adult, that Darian had befriended. He was secretly happy that their signs were not compatible. One night someone tried to sneak in to the house. Liadan beat the snot out of the would be burglar, which made both Darian and Adaeze realize that they both needed to step up their fitness levels before she cleared her goal and moved out. Darian was thrilled when the symphony director stopped stalling and gave him his well earned final promotion. After a short nights rest he called Katherine and they formally got married. When Daian finally met his eldest daughter Bobbie he was grateful to see that her hair was green like his dad's had been. While Katherine wasn't fond of the plan she understood that it was in Bobbies best interest to move out with Liadan when the time came. Liadan, was doing as many interviews as she could. She knew she could write negative stories and they would sell more, but instead she focused on positive stories to help rebuild the communities moral. A few days after their wedding Katherine gave birth to a son. Bobbie transitioned to child. Darian finally maxed his athletic. Everything looked to be going well. All four siblings take turns cooking. Promotions were being earned, and with the exception of Adaeze, who is much younger than her siblings, every one is at a minimum of level 6 in their assigned career. Note: In terms of strategy, because Seasons is not installed on my computer, it makes more sense to lift Entertainment (Rock Star) than it does Symphonic (Orchestra) at this stage of the challenge. One day Ted looses track of time. He no longer has a job to go to. Darian finally has approval to start searching for a mate, and so starts to spend more time at the park. While there was hope for maybe someone his age to pair up with, he quickly learns that he will have to wait for someone to transition from their teen years. So far he's met 3 likely candidates, and hopes that he doesn't have to wait to long for them, and that once they are old enough at least one of them is compatible to his Libra sign. (Compatible signs: Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, and Sagittarius) Except for curfew day when no performances are allowed, Darian tries to host one concert a day at the theater right before work. Being a Lead Guitarist has it's perks, like the keys to the theater. Farran's boss faded from old age, making him realize how lucky they are to have the elders they do have around, despite senility. Donte is 98 days, Daphne 96, and Ted is 92 days of age. Farran understands that as a Squadron Leader at career level 8 and having to befriend a new boss the chances of getting another promotion bump to Top Gun if needed is not likely. Liadan has reached a stage with her career where as an Investigative Reporter writing the occasional positive fluff piece on elders who served the community helps her job along. Adaeze is a Campaign Intern, while there is hopes she'll make it to Leader of the Free World, there is also the reality that as an insane neurotic sim she struggles with day to day at home let alone in a career setting. Nor had she been fairing much better in the world of business before she was offered the career switch. Farran celebrated his transition day by fixing broken plumbing. Darian finally learned why his boss hadn't been at the park for a few days. She had gotten married, moved into a new house, and was expecting a simlet. One day while Darian was performing a concert and Adaeze was finishing her shift at city hall, Daphne's fears came true, but it wasn't her that the pool claimed. Poor Ted got caught by the pool glitch that had him stuck in the floor. He reluctantly left with Grim.
Meanwhile I'm keeping all gen 3 sims away from the pool, although Adaeze is not doing well at work, so who knows what her fate will be. No elders have had anything happen to them yet. However since as covered in the previous post Daphne is no longer working it is time to shift the full focus forward onto generation 3. Farran came home Friday bummed, he was eligible for a promotion but the upper generals had passed him by. Spotting his boss, Farran waved him down for a chat. They cut it awfully close to curfew, but Farran was happy he had his promotion and would start the next level up on Monday. Upon learning her brother luck at receiving a promotion Liadan decided to try her luck as well. When her boss spoke to her from the ground she knew she was out of luck and talked him into going to the park before saying goodbye (leaving the group). It took Adaeze some time, but she finally finished Darian's portrait and hung it on the wall. Darian continued to practice his guitar skill instead of socializing. He knew that as a guy he had a little more time for getting a mate, that is once he had council approval. While a mate would be good for the long run, so would a steady battery supply as well as actual music to play. He hoped that being a rock star would make him more attractive when the time came. No one said anything when Farran pulled the walls down blocking the pool access to fix the basement shower and make a small room for food storage.
This is not the final post for gen 2 that I was looking for. Game mechanics - I see you're trying to get an elder to clear a career here let me fix that for you. Game glitches elder drowns stuck in floor. (previous posts pics) Me - Ha, I can pop back 1 save, my elder is safe and fine, sure I lose 5 points but I'm playing for fun anyway. Adds both walls and fence to block pool. Game mechanics - Guess what! I fixed your elder going to work for you, and while I was at it I fixed the other elder too. Me - takes down wall and fence around pool ... Measures were taken to ensure that no one could accidentally die in the pool. Adaeze took care of getting the food out of the fridge, and then left it for Daphne to cook. While at the business office Adaze got drafted to go work at City Hall in the politics field. Since it was a straight trade off on job levels she was more than happy to switch, after all just maybe a larger dining room or bedroom in the future would be nice. Daphne headed off to work just fine, sadly when I went to check on her almost a sim hour later she was sitting outside missing work. Career over! So much to my regrets, culinary is not getting cleared by generation 2. It would have been a very nice clear, but the game mechanics (nor my attention) were not in favor of such a clear. Same day Donte got sidetracked on the home lot and also had to leave his job so for gen 2 the only one still working is Ted. What went wrong the second time? There is a very distinct probability that this guy spooked her when she arrived at the diner, and had I been watching her instead of keeping an eye on the gen 3 sims, it wouldn't have been an issue because I knew a way to get her into work. He hangs out all over town, not sure if he's got any siblings. His presence as a ghost townie is completely my fault. I wasn't really paying attention to which files I was grabbing from some of the older households I'd made in the past and I added the West family. Sims & households play in base just fine from other ep/sp's they just loose content tags and wander around in default hair & clothes. Although it is recommended to take each sim into cas first and make sure there are no odd code glitches like with Donte's hair. ;) So a word to the wise, unless you're attempting the playable ghost occult Do Not seed your town with playable ghosts for an apocalypse challenge. lol
Unless of course, you don't mind the added challenge. ;) There will be one more gen 2 post after this one before gen 3 gets to take over in full. Everyone quickly settled into the new routine. Daphne stayed in charge of the cooking, she could have allowed Farran to learn but she new that she needed all of the practice she could get for work. Sometimes she would view the still life of herself and their mother. Really wished I'd gotten more skill books than I had at the start. Donte finished one of his paintings and hung it on the first level. Ted doesn't like art, but tolerates it, barely, for the rest of the family. Ted finally figured out how to paint a proper portrait and started on one of Daphne Donte got so caught up in working on Daphne's portrait that he lost track of time. (So did I.) He was startled when his comm unit chimed, he had missed a game and was fired. He didn't care, he'd already mastered the athletics career. HE would of course get a new job assignment to help with the family income. Before long it was Liadan's turn to become a teen. Donte finally finished the portrait. The lower level was still being added on to. Daphne still refused to let anyone take over the cooking. Ted arrived home in time to see the bus driver accidentally drop off extra children. He sent them home. He then read some of his coworkers notes on what had and hadn't worked. On the third floor the chess table got moved to make room for a new - used love seat. Daphne's portrait once finished got hung over the chess table. Everyone took turns using the tread mill that Donte got used from the stadium. Most evenings were spent on the upper floor. Eventually Darian also transitioned to teen. Being the only candidate for heir puts a lot of pressure on young shoulders. Being inappropriate means Darian doesn't mind washing up in the sink, making him the only one in the house, who despite being a slob, stays clean all the time. Everyone tried to remember to make calls on comm's days but sometimes time got lost track of in the quest of improved skills for a better future. Donte was assigned the science center, and while he didn't care one way or another about the future of that career, he humored his bosses and read a little bit on gardening. Ted worked on his chess but knew the day was coming where he would need to focus on his athletic skills instead. He wasn't worried though, he was a rising star in the medical field and was determined to achieve his ltw of becoming a world renowned surgeon. Daphne's cooking skills continued to improve & impress, she often wished for more complex recipes to fix so she could push her skills farther faster, or books to read beyond the occasional recipe by her boss. The children had decided amongst themselves that Adaeze would be the one to learn enough painting skill to paint Darian's portrait when the time came. Donte still wouldn't explain why he was continuing to expand a level lower than the one he slept on. One day Daphne cleaned all of the ancient stored food from the basements, as the last dish was washed a fleeting sense of doom filtered by. My bad, I really should have kept that space unconnected until gen 4 or 5. Ted insisted on rearranging the bedroom on the second floor. The children wondered why he'd bothered to wall off a section over the course of several days. Finally it was Adaeze's turn to become a teen. While she joined her siblings with the more advanced skill learning. One day Ted came home and had a shower installed. He had achieved his ltw and was now a world renowned surgeon. The next day he brought home a toilet for the second floor. Everyone was happy with the new toilet. Ted asked Donte to help him train on the treadmill. Donte had a pool built in the lowest basement. Daphne shivered in fear. Donte got requested by the medical team to join the hospital staff, so he did, as they respected his knowledge more than the science center and moved him to a mid level position right off the bat. Time flew by and Farran became a young adult. He was assigned to the military compound, he wondered how well that would work out given he was a coward. Donte felt a shiver of fear, he would become an elder soon. He was unlucky and wondered how long he would live. Daphne continued to rise at work, although keeping up her cooking skill and her relationships with her boss & coworkers was becoming a struggle for her. Her upcoming transition to elder was the furthest thing from her mind. Even though he hadn't been looking forward to it, Donte enjoyed his transition. Nor did he have any complaint when Ted transfered the old plumbing to the lower level so they could have nicer furnishings upstairs. Life was moving forward and with Daphne's help Ted finally mastered the athletic skill. Then it was Liadan's turn to transition to young adult. She was assigned a job with the newspaper. Despite her apprehension Daphne decided to swim in the small pool. As fun and relaxing as it was she couldn't shake her fear of it, and even fought with Donte about having it on the property. He promised to wall it off, but being a senile elder forgot his promise. Then came the day that Daphne had both looked forward to and dreaded. Darian became a young adult and was assigned to work for the music industry. No sooner than Darian was done transitioning it was her turn to become an elder. As the youngest, the task of cooking the days rations fell to Adaeze, and everyone started to wish they had more than a few extra rations stashed away. Darian went as instructed to the park to begin making friends, so that he could get the communities blessing on his role as heir. The park was the also the only place where he could hang with his boss (blue hair, most likely descended from the blue male in this household). On his third day at work after receiving his first promotion, Darian was finally granted a precious guitar to take home and practice on. Even though he wasn't very good everyone enjoyed the music as they'd been unable to get new batteries for the radio. Daphne was thrilled when she earned another promotion, she was one away from the top of her field, the only downside was that she now only worked three days a week and no one trusted her to cook food for the family. Then it was Ted's turn to become an elder. A few day's later it was Adaeze's turn, in an insane neurotic conversation she asked Darian why he didn't just take over. He said that it was important to give their mom a chance to finish her goals, and he was still working on his connections with the community. The following morning she received her job placement with the business office. One evening Daphne put on her work clothes by mistake, she then rambled on about a bad dream she'd had. the siblings listened and realized that their uncle still hadn't blocked off the pool. They agreed to fence it off right away before someone actually did get hurt like their mom's nightmare. I almost cried when I realized that it was Daphne drowning and that she had somehow gotten stuck in the floor outside of the pools area. Because being stuck in the floor is a glitch had I caught it soon enough, aka been paying attention to my elders instead of ignoring them, I could have fixed the problem without taking any point hits.
It happened the day before her next day of work, to make it worse the next morning when I tried to have Darian cook the family a meal, Ted got to the fridge first and pulled out a soup ration and there was no spare spoiled food anywhere on the lot for anyone else to eat which meant that there was a chance Farran would die of starvation. Everything was rapidly going south in a hand basket on my game, and all because Daphne had faded. I'm taking the point hit because I played an additional 12 hours past her death, and I'm not sure where the previous save will start at. The pool will be walled off next time I load the game. I may even delete it over the course of a few sim days. Ted settled into the family quickly. Daphne made it clear that she wanted to have four children before taking her job assignment. Ted did the only thing a wise sim could do, and agreed. Daphne continued to workout and do all of the cooking. Ted would sometimes practice chess at the park, where he would see their mutual cousin with his simlet. Donte continued to climb the ladder in the sports world leading the team to victory with each game they played. When Daphne's due date arrived she wasn't impressed that her medically trained husband flipped out. Welcome Farran. Daphne was quick to get the ball rolling for her second child, Ted had no objections. Although they both felt uncomfortable when Grey's spirit decided to watch them. Daphne soon felt the discomforts of pregnancy, two more after this she reminded herself as she watched her mornings rations swirl down the toilet. Donte & Daphne maxed their fitness potential, and grudgingly expanded their free time into other areas. For Donte that meant working on a basement room to sleep in away from screaming babies. As always they tried to keep up with friends on comm's days. Daphne had convinced Ted to work out once, while he didn't mind it, he found that he liked jogging better. Welcome Liadan, your father still doesn't seem to handle labor well. Liadan was born the same day Farran became a tot. Life continued on. Ted came home with a promotion and Daphne knew exactly how she wanted to celebrate. Even though he now slept far away from his nephew and niece, Donte still actively helped with their care, for which both Daphne and Ted were grateful. Before long it was time for Daphne to welcome their 3rd simlet, another boy whom she named Darian. Okay so with gen 3 I may have gone with a theme of sorts for the first 3 simlets. Although I miss spelled Dorian as Darian so there is that ... I stopped the theme with the 4th because I didn't want to repeat the founders name. Darian's birth wasn't the only event happening. Farran transitioned from tot to child while Daphne was in labor. Life continued to move forward, Daphne was feeling the march of time and chaffed against being stuck home. The progress of time hit home hardest when Donte transitioned to full adult, Daphne knew she wasn't far behind. Donte and Ted continued to earn promotions. Darian became a tot, and Liadan became a child. Farran & Liadan enjoyed meeting other children at school. Then the final simlet due date rolled around, and Daphne was happy, because Farran would soon be a teen and she could finally join the work force. Welcome Adaeze, your poor father is exhausted, he's been on call and worked several double shifts in a row. Daphne wondered if her cooking skills would play a part in her job assignment. Donte worked on his painting skill, they had the still life of their mom, that she had done, but it would be nice if he could paint a proper portrait of Daphne, and maybe of her heir. The family settled into a routine of work, skilling, eat, sleep. Soon it was Darian's turn to transition. He shared the day with his mom's transition to adult. The next day Adaeze became a tot. Ted was so exhausted that on the day of his transition to adult he collapsed outside of the hospital. He looked forward to his next promotion, when he would become a gene slicer and back on a reasonable day shift where he could once again jog home from work. While slobs normally wouldn't be preferred, Daphne was glad that both Liadan and Darian seemed to have cast iron stomachs and didn't mind eating the older rations. Donte finally became skilled enough to paint a still life of his sister, but his ambitious streak wasn't happy. He however agreed that the children needed to get their turn to improve their skills as well. Donte has also been working on a third basement area but he won't say what it's for. Daphne wasn't happy when the new bus driver accidentally dropped of one their cousins with the kids after their day at school. While Farran wasn't thrilled about having to stay home as a teen he was glad that he could finally do more than 3 activities to improve on his life skills. Finally the day Daphne had been waiting for arrived and she happily checked in for her job assignment. Dishwasher aka Kitchen Scullion, Daphne was happy, except for the fact that she had to wait an extra day to start work because the place was closed for the day. Two key events. Donte reached level 10 of the sports career, cleared Athletic. Darian is the only one of the gen 3 simlets who has an obvious genetic connection to the founder and is therefore named heir. He will of course have to work hard to prove his worth to the town when the time comes. I was nervous as Donte fixed the processor, and then someone reminded me that the unlucky trait is near impossible to kill off. Doh! So Donte gets to be the electrician for this generation. Donte & Daphne trade off between working out and writing. Doni made it to 95 days and no more, I was expecting Grey to go first but that wasn't the case. They try to keep a stiff upper lip, but it's hard to constantly hide their grief at Doni's fading. Part of hiding grief means putting noses even harder to the grindstone to learn their skills and try to become as fit as possible. They also need to earn money for the bills that come twice a week. Donte is concerned about his mom's age, they know that she is at least 2 days older than their dad, but doesn't show any signs of slowing down. On com's day the talk to their friends from elementary school. Daphne feels that despite her hot temper she's a better candidate for heir as she already has one good friend, and gets along with other sims better than her brother. She suspects that her good trait has something to do with that. With a ladder to the roof they sometimes climb up to enjoy the view of the community. Late one night they decide to move the dining table upstairs. Just after a late diner Donte transitions to young adult. Even though Grey claims she isn't Donte is pretty sure that she's laughing at his ponytail, which he doesn't get because his dad had the same hair style. The next morning Donte rejoices in his freedom to travel within the network, but first things first he has to find out his assigned job. Athletics, he can work that, personally he just wants to live in the lap of luxury. Daphne doesn't complain, because she knows her turn is coming in a few days. It's also com's day, so she can chat on the phone. Donte spends the day meeting and greeting as many sims as he can. He doesn't socialize well, so in some ways he doesn't mind that he won't be the heir. Late that night, Daphne feels a disturbance and rushes downstairs just in time to see their mom fade. Grey had a complex aging pattern, she faded at roughly 107 ? 108 days of age, after her age reset itself back to 100 sim days. As Daphne stiffles her tears she wonders if it's to soon to take over the double bed. Despite his grief Donte does well for himself at work. Before they know it it's Daphne's turn to transition to young adult, Donte is a little shocked to learn that she doesn't plan to start working until after she's born a few children. She like Donte would love to live in luxury. Daphne takes over the big bed at night, while she spends her days meeting, greeting, and making good friends. Before she knows it she's received permission to take a mate. Now comes the potentially hard part, finding an unmarried compatible zodiac sign, to her Sagittarius sign. One of her extra good friends is compatible, but he's already contracted with someone else. While not adverse to poaching she leaves that as a last option. Then the agency sends over a guy in pink scrubs ... His color is very green and when asked he explains he descended from both the Clover family and the Spicetree family. While they share a cousin in common, from her dad's side of the family they aren't related by blood. He's a few days younger than her, and is determined to stay in the medical field if he can. Daphne is just glad he's not in an iron tight marriage contract, and invites him to spend the night. She's able to nudge the evening in the direction she wants, and is pleased the following morning when he agrees to enter into a permanent contract with her. By the next morning her status a bearer of the 3rd generation is very clear to all. Donte, is pleased too. He's rapidly climbing the ladder at work and has already made it to rookie status. Almost forgot, both Donte & Daphne were gifted the ambitious trait by game mechanics when they transitioned from teen to young adult.
Before I delve into game play events. I want to preface with a caution. I'm running into continuous glitches with my current family. I think they are tied to the fact that many of my townies are sims I had built on my old pc, which had everything installed on it. If the glitches persist, then I'll scrap the save altogether and start over (same founder). I'm hoping that with save cleaner & at least the intro of gen 3, several days of play away ;) , that the glitches will self correct. Doni stayed lucid just long enough to quit his job. After that everything rested on Donte's shoulders. Keeping two elders in line, fed, and a toddler looked after is a lot for a child to bear the brunt of. Especially a child who like his father has an unlucky trait. Every day before school, Donte sets out a bowl of soup for his parents, while he eats stale molded hot dogs. Sometimes Grey eat's it, other morning's Doni eats it first. Another part of the daily routine is working out. (Which doesn't really seem to give the kids a boost when they become teens.) By the time bill day rolled back around the word processor was broken, and Donte had to sell a couple of windows, which meant nothing was added to the house. Happily Grey is still receiving royalty payments so that money was used to replace the word processor. Finally it's Daphne's turn to become a child. Donte has a few more days before his next transition. While he tries to make the most of them, he manages to break the brand new word processor. He's going to have to sell more windows and probably the fireplace, but he'll have to pick carefully as the family doesn't have an in with the mob or the black market, which means he can only sell two items. A class mate follows them home and with no sane adults to send them home Donte & Daphne do the only thing they can do, pull the lower ladders up until their classmate goes home. With the word processor broken it's back to working out every day after school, except for com's day. Donte is happy when his transition day rolls around. I think if he get's coded with the wrong hair again I'm going to default to Daphne as heir. They both inherited their mom's hair color so I can make it work. To make matters worse, when I took Donte into cas to fix his hair right after his transition, he lost 4 days of age, which meant adjusting teen age for the entire town. Daphne is really looking like the better choice for heir, plus she has nicer traits. Again I'm hoping that save cleaner will help straighten out the glitch. I'll find out when Donte transitions to YA. With Donte now a teen he can finally start grilling food for the family, maybe. Day 1 Grey pulled some odd thing out of the fridge before Donte could get their rations out, moldy food for all. Day 2 Donte got up extra early and burned the hot dogs. Day 3, hey good job Donte those are nice looking rations you've made for the family. To bad the batteries died on the radio, guess you'll need a new one. Day 4, sigh, Donte please don't burn down the house. Now you need a new grill, but maybe it's better if you can't cook. Donte you get the radio fixed and then bust the word processor again. I don't know what I'm going to do with you ... but I do know this you've got almost a week until the next transition and no income source. Again! I think we're going to let Daphne take over cooking and writing, that is once things are fixed or replaced, and yes Donte I'm really considering letting you attempt to fix the processor even though you have no handiness skills, nor will I lament should you crisp yourself out of digital existence. Especially now that's she's transitioned to teen. This is the final post for the founding generation. I had Doni jogging to and from work everyday, if his career had been one with on the job workout I would have had him do that as well. On Grey's last day as an adult I took her across to the neighbors after Doni was home, just long enough to get rid of the stir crazy moodlet. Don't ask me how or why, but game mechanics did not age Grey until the same day as Donte. And boop, there's the glitch again on Donte's hair. Back into cas he went for a properly coded hair. I think it's because his dad had been made with a store hair on my old pc. With Grey as an uncontrollable elder, and Doni only a few sim days away from elder the race is really on to get his athletics as high as possible in the hope of maxing. Not being able to use any workout tone besides the basic one does not help. Donte & Daphne both will have their beds on the 2nd floor as the third is not done yet, nor will it be before Daphne's birthday. Donte gets a base in 3 skills; writing, chess, and painting thanks to the tot books. Moving the radio to the third level was critical, elders don't always pay attention to the fact that their children are trying to sleep. This classmate of Donte's showed up. He was told to leave by Doni 4 different times, clearly by some of his actions he has the evil trait. Now that Daphne is a tot it's her turn to read the tot books, but not right away, it's time for bed. Sadly Doni only made it to level 7 athletics by the time his transition day rolled around. Donte has 8 days until he turns teen, and Daphne has 3 days until child. There is a decent stash of food stuffs in the basement. The only upside is that Doni is quitting right after receiving a promotion at work so as you'll note in the pictures I have repurchased a fireplace, but no one can get to it at this time. As to game play, I'm undecided if any elders will have any accidents after Donte turns into a teen. While not a handicap I took there is something to be said for just letting a sim fade of old age. (Yes, that really did just come from me, a simmer known for untimely endings of digital lives. ;) ) |
The Restrictions
Additional Handicaps - Applies to all generations
Rite of Passage: In order to prove their worthiness as heir, before your sim can marry they must have made at least 4 good friends not including their future spouse. The Age of Aquarius: May only marry (or breed with) sims with compatible zodiac signs The Eyes Have It: All heirs must have the same eye/hair color as the founder. No Country for Old Sims: With a lack of proper healthcare, sims don't live very long and easily die of common diseases and complications of elder-hood. Elders living more than a few days are a rare occurrence. Change the Elder lifespan of your sims to only 4 days for the entire challenge. Greedy Gangsters: Not only you have to pay the mob on Mondays, now you have to do it on Thursdays too! You must continue your Monday payments even after you lift Criminal. Archives
