Switch Four Part 2 < | > Switch Five Part 2
Of note: Being that a year had passed since I started testing this Switch, I restarted testing from the beginning, so this is technically the second time play-testing this Switch. I did not, however, finish the test run on Extreme, or even start it on Normal... and I had no desire to try to sort through screenshots from a year ago, hence re-starting testing. I also don't take much in the way of screenshots, choosing to just commemorate milestones, so this may be the only post on this difficulty (don't worry, it's not.... lol)
First, I build a spa on the newly opened Planet Honey Pop lot (actually, that's not completely true, it took me a few days to build it because I forgot to initially.. it just fits better in this post at the beginning.)
Second, we check in on our heir from the last house, Devin Ritchie.
...And we're back to 0 simoleons. Not as scary a prospect as it once was after doing a lot of Drifting and Switch testing, but it's still a bit daunting.
First thing I do is get a job in Politics, which nets me some money, but not much. The game shows me that it's two days until the first day of work.. which is nothing I want to wait for.... so I send Devin out fishing.
After some fishing, his social need is tanked, so I decide it's time to get him a mate. I look through his social panel from when he was a child/teen.. and pick a girl. Her name is Anvi Basu, and she's into art.. which is perfect for me, so it's another income towards goals.
I invite her over to our very humble abode and set out to woo her.
First kiss!
... Turns out I moved too fast, and the proposal is rejected. So the next day, after a lot of collecting in the neighborhood (since I don't have enough money to travel) and fishing, I find her walking around and try again. Success!
... And she's moved in. Yay. Now I can have her paint while Devin works on his Politician career.
By this point, this is what the apartment looks like. Just enough furniture to get by.
I found this screenshot hilarious.. There's a protest in the neighborhood that Devin didn't even start.. and even the Living Statue is in on it.
.. Time to move on. Final value and age.
And a little tour:
This is what we were able to afford in the next apartment: In other words.. not much. A bathroom, a partial kitchen, a bed and an easel. Oh, and a few walls and doorways.
Progress: a dining table.
More progress:
And later, time to move: (literally, on sim-week later)
House Tour: I took a bunch of photos, because I really liked the way this one turned out.
First shot in the next place is apparently a birthday.
And, I figure it's about time to start a family, so here's the "guess what?" shot.
And.. it is only 8 days on this apartment before I initiate the final move.
House Tour: (And yes, that's baby boy, Connor, in the first shot.)
On that note.... Moving on to part two.
