Major REPO! Sell ALL Furniture

Start up ROLL CALL. 1 Adult (Nicole), 2 kids (Nick and Rick), 4 toddlers (Ginger and Mary Ann, Lisa and Larry)

Sims moved to lot #5 from lot #1
Major REPO: Sell ALL Furniture.

The family didn't have a lot of furniture to start with. Here is a pre repo shot.
After repo... everything gone. I even sold the counters even though that wasn't part of the challenge.

Nanny comes to help out with the 4 toddlers.
Floor plan later in the game. Cribs purchased and tents for sleeping. Table and chairs in what was previously a bedroom.
Blowing bubbles to bring up fun so he will do his homework.

One of the toddlers age to child. Bringing up their fun is a real challenge. Blowing bubbles doesn't work as fast as I had hoped.
A really bad day at work.
I give up on trying to build their fun in new ways and give them a cat statue.
Sim grows up with a red aspiration.
A look at the Lot at the close of the round. Three tents for sleeping and the cribs sold. I replaced the counters.
The most challenging part of this round was dealing with getting the sims fun level up high enough to do their school work.
Roll Call at the end. Nicole (only adult), Rick and Nick are teens (twins), Ginger & Mary Ann (twins) and Larry and Lisa (twins) are kids.

Earthquake, Use Voodoo Doll on Reporter, Romance Vacation, Move in BigF, get caught cheating.

Sims move to their new lot following the (imaginary) Earthquake that destroyed their other neighborhood.
6 sims: 2 Adults (Apple and Glad) 4 infants (twins Arnold & Bruce, Debra Lynn & Ruport)

The floor plan of the small house.
I purchased the large garden community lot (one packaged after building it up to just before harvest level).
While Glad was working in the garden she noticed the reporter taking a ticket. She pulled out her voodoo doll and used it on the reporter.
He walks over to Glad and gives her a kiss. Then he writes in his notebook. To me, it looked like he was rating her kiss.

After rating the kiss, he gives them a BEST of the BEST AWARD. That was one of the easiest Best of the Best awards I've ever earned.
After harvesting all of the garden items, I build a large pond and have guests fish with my sims.
Not long after fishing starts, the penguin show up. I decide to play a game of "find the fish" with the penguin. It isn't a real sim game, its a created one. What I do is hide fish around the lot and watch the penguin find them. This fish is behind a few shrubs.

He finds it with his special sim radar. Throws it in the air and swallows it down in one gulp.
I learned something new. Visiting sims on a community lot can earn badge points in fishing. I knew employee's could earn badge points, but didn't realize it also applied to visiting sims. This would be a creative way to build townee badges then hire them as managers.
Glad, a romance sim, goes on vacation.

The vacation lot she purchased.
Her LTW is to have 20 loves at once. Vacation EP allows you to invite non-household members on a vacation. You can't control them but can see their stats. I have her invite as many sims as she can on vacation. None of them are in love with her. My objective is to have them all love her before the end of the vacation.
She takes one sims at a time to a community lot. While on the lot she dates them with the goal to get them to fall in love with her and woohoo (for the IW).

I found this picture funny. It looks like she is reading about woohoo.
While on bigfoots lot, I build up their friendship and ask him to move in. He does adding a $1 to the family funds. (rofl a $1)
I took two sims to a community lot to see if I could accomplish two with one trip. Well, I didn't juggle it well and this sim caught Glad cheating. I'm sharing the picture because the pop up says "This vacation is worth every penny" and has a bad memory above his head.
He caught her cheating with the reporter in the changing room. It looks like he was going to punch the reporter.
He didn't, he just slapped the smile off Glads face.
Not long after, Glad turns it around and woohoos with him in the SAME changing booth.

Vacation is over and they all return home.
Bigfoot and Glad arrive home from a nice vacation.
Glad sells the vacation house and purchased another one at a different location. She invites another group to join her on the vacation.
She woohoo's Eye Hatesims in the changing room. Eye was the founder of the Generation Challenge that I played. The Generation Challenge is a version of the legacy challenge that Trudy and I created. Trudy wanted to play Legacy and I couldn't bring myself to play it again by pinstars rules. So we came up with our version of the challenge. Eye was the founder and a personal goal of mine was to keep the founder alive until the end of the challenge. He is currently a plantsim vampire a very FUN combo.
Another notch on the hammock. (sorry that was in poor taste)
Glad wins her LTW to have 20 loves.

Vacation is over and they all pile into the van to go home.

Here is a shot of the sims she took on vacation. I loved this surprise. During the vacation, I didn't realize I wasn't getting the flowers as you normally do from a dream date. A few minutes after returning home, the mob of vacation guests all bring her flowers at the same time. I really like this picture.



Before Benjamin leaves, he blows a kiss to a sim who ISN'T Glad. She was one of the sims who went on vacation with the group.
A couple of the infants after they grew up. Toddlers only a mother could love, that is if the mom wasn't a romance sim.
-- -- -- --
Two adults starting over on a new lot wasn't that much of a challenge. I really enjoyed the vacations during this round. I had 200 plus pictures to go through. I trimmed them down leaving out a vacation that Glad and Apple went on together. Apple learned to teleport. Glad made several contacts to add some to her 20 loves at once LTW goal. Lots of other misc vacation shots. To many to list.

Earthquake, Create Ugly Sims

Roll Call. 2 adult sisters, 2 kids, 4 infants.



Disaster Card: Earthquake.
The family moves to their new lot.
I wanted to see what a sunburn alien looked like.

This very cute infant grows into a very "unique" looking toddler.
Mother and child. I merged the alien mom with Mr. Ugly. I didn't realize that infants didn't have unique features. The features first show up as toddlers. I've created several offspring with my dd special (ugly) sims. I look forward to watching them grow and watching the ugly fade.
Another "hard to look at" toddler. He looks a great deal like his father.

One more toddler to look at...
I had four infants in the house, I must have failed to get a picture of the other one.
I sent the mom to sunbathe among the sand castles.
With 2 adults juggling 4 infants and kids, the lot was basicly uneventful.
