Play-testing Switch Five - Extreme - Part 2

Switch Five Part 1 < | > Switch Six

Above: meet Connor officially. On that note - status update - at this point I am in the last apartment, and at level 7 in the politics career with Devin. This post will chronicle the rest of Switch Five for the Ritchies. We start with Devin's Adult birthday.

A shot of the progress on the apartment, Connor's back, and the fact that Anvi is pregnant again.

The layout of the apartment. I figure this will be the final shape of the penthouse, but it's not. Also, not too long after this, we have the value part of the challenge completed.

Meet Jeffrey, Connor's little brother.

Out getting friends and votes for Devin's career:

...And his aspiration. Complete!

Connor grows up.

....And so does Jeffrey.

Connor working on his first aspiration:

... And finished.

Someone's home from work... (side note: if you're paying attention, this is where you note that I've moved around the layout of the penthouse, more on that later)

...And career portion of the challenge complete.

I use a total of two sleep replacer potions to get Connor to all four of his aspirations as a child, but as it turns out, I get them done with, like, two days remaining, so I probably didn't need to.

A dark shot of the Oasis Springs Park's Monkey Bars.

...And Aspiration two complete:

Jeffrey Grows up:

Something else Devin's been working at on the side of his career:

At least it was another source of income, and something else for him to do instead of sitting around doing nothing:

And this shot... is Connor in bear form finishing up his ...

... third aspiration. Wonder what everyone thought of him running around making friends while he was a bear. Also, of note: this is my least favorite child aspiration. This is one of the few times I've completed it without cheating to get past it. (Yep, I hate it THAT much)..

Someone else home from work with...

... a very big promotion. Way to go, Anvi!

Working on mental skill, must mean that....

.... this is the final child aspiration that Connor "needed". I use quotes because he didn't really need them, it just gave me something to do.. and it will help with the next Switch.

... This is where I officially show why I changed the layout.. I gave them a pool and a basketball hoop. This is Anvi on AI mode being the first to christen the pool.

Excuse the outline on the chair.. this is Connor growing up to Teen.

And another important birthday:

... He doesn't look too happy about it.

Anvi's turn...

Then Jeffrey's...

.. He reminds me a lot of his dad, Devin.

... And on this note... Challenge complete. Congrats on reaching Young Adulthood, Connor.

Devin's final stats:

And here's what I had leftover in the bank.

The final value of the apartment:

And the final layout:

And that's officially the end of Switch Five Extreme difficulty testing. The whole thing works. After testing the Normal Difficulty (with the other branch of Politics career), I will officially publish Switch Five... a year late.. but I figured it was about time to go ahead and get it done.

Of note: I specifically didn't work on skills that would help me earn money on my next Switch, even though, I, obviously, know where the Switch is going next, but I wanted to make it a tougher challenge. I did, however, set him up with traits pointing towards Writing, as you'll see at the beginning of the next Switch.

To finish off the post, here's the lot I created for the Gym lot in Uptown. I made an Experimental Kitchen with a red theme. It's fully tested, and seems to work out well.

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!
