Rainbow 7 Gen Challenge
I created Ruby Anderson on the 26 July 2023 with her pre-selected aspiration and traits. I moved her to the chosen lot in Windenburg which I promptly bulldozed to allow us to start fresh and create a new house just for her. I realised quickly that the freerealestate cheat wouldn’t actually help much as we had a preferred lot to live in. Therefore, I permitted the use of one motherlode but only one!
Time to start earning that bread! I got Ruby working in the chef career trying to get her career off to a flying start. She quickly got promoted and we slowly decorated the house, money permitting. We started with the basics, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. As this would be the start of the generations challenge, I knew I wanted more than one bedroom. I mapped out space for two bedrooms and two further rooms upstars (purpose yet unknown).
We did have a few days with empty rooms until more money was earned. But needs must, so they say.
Small update 17/10/23. We are miles into Gen 1, almost finished the chef career. Yet somehow, Ruby is pregnant for the second time. As an elder. I certainly didn’t ask for this and yet the the Sims gods have delivered, in more ways than one!
Creating MiddleEarth
It all begins with an idea.
After I started my Sims journey, I wanted to create something big, a proper challenge to sink my teeth into.
I looked through books, TV series and suddenly struck gold with…. the amazing world of MiddleEarth! I’m a huge Tolkien fan and this felt just right.
Part of the fun of this idea was each stream could be named after chapters in the books. The build series lasted 21 different streams, such fun! The series started in 7th July 2021 and finished 28th May 2022
100 cats challenge
It all begins with an idea.
I am someone who loves new ideas and inspiration. I also love cats. Obviously the best idea here was to start a whole new Sims challenge to raise 100 cats. Seems easy, right? How mistaken I was.
The challenge begun simple enough. On 23rd October 2021, the stream begun. A new Sim (Autumn O’Malloy) was built and moved to a house. The idea is similar to 100 baby challenge except with cats instead of babies. I created a female cat (Kiki) and decided that the kittens would all be named after Animal Crossing characters.
The first disaster struck shortly after the first stream ended. My Sim, Autumn, was swimming in a pool while exhausted. She met her demise in the pool after refusing to get out when told. The cat and first kittens were adopted as there was no Sim responsible for them in the household. She lasted 12 hours!
I tried to have all the cats in one household by increasing the household size to 120. As much as I got to live my dream of being surrounded by cats, this did make the game unplayable. We had to revert back to a regular size household. I found no strays were spawning, that the vet never seemed to be in the vet clinic when we visited and other NPCs just stopped appearing. No cheats permitted in this save, only a vanilla version of Sims would do!
