For anyone who was interested in the challenge I posted earlier in my blog, I've have a post up on modthesims outlining the rules. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=467665 I've also got some comments in there, and there are a few other people who are trying it out too. So far, it's one of the toughest challenges I've ever attempted. I've been forced to re-start my game out of frustration at a world I picked up on the exchange. The load times were horrid - I was spending half my playtime loading. So I ditched that save after the first drone - and am starting over.
Meantime, I've found a challenge I absolutely adore.. and has completely addicted me.... the "Nothing is Free" challenge on modthesims by Avalikia. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=468464 It's a re-vamp of the "Build a City Challenge that was originally in Sims2, got redone for Sims3.. and never seemed like it was quite right for the actual Sims3 gameplay. Basically, you start on a completely blank world.. and earn all job buildings and venues. There's a whole bunch of people doing the challenge now, and watching all the very very different towns and stories evolving out of this challenge is SOOOO much fun!
The other challenge I just started up is an Alien/Rainbow world challenge. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=427790 More to play with lunar lakes and skintones than anything else. As well as exploring sim-genetics. The Red Rover guy I uploaded is from that challenge, obviously.. and is the reason all these fun Lunar Lakes lots are getting uploaded.
Sorry I didn't get the rest of the Pets lots uploaded today, I will be able to tomorrow. Spent most the day in bed, sick.. somehow I managed to catch the cold I thought my family was done with. (So much for rejoicing that it had passed me by... d'oh!) .. why is it the last person to get sick is always the one who gets it the worst?!
One other thing: there are two other challenges I'm going to be starting soon... one, the 50 foals challenge - only I'm going to tweak it a bit and make it into a Horsacy (Horse Legacy) as well, and possibly even go to 100 foals! /whew .. I'm such a horse nut. I rode horses in real life for 25+ years of my life, so getting to play with virtual ones (who, I might add are FAR cheaper!!) is a huge attraction on the Pets expansion for me. The challenge is hosted by our lovely SIMyth, and is also generating some really fun stories - and awesome looking pets!! http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/450566.page .. The second challenge is the Micronation challenge from modthesims http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=458258 I want to start it on a really tiny island, and sorta compare/contrast what happens vs. the Nothing is Free challenge.
In all likelihood, the Nothing is Free challenge and 50 foals challenge are going to take most my sims time though.. 😉
I am a 45 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and three young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I have also recently been accepted to the EA Creator Network, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
