My new video series - Perfect Genetics Challenge - is now available for viewing on YouTube. https://youtu.be/iQUhw5SbutM This video is a little over 16 minutes. It is an introduction to my foun...
All seems to be going well. The house is almost fully set up. It'll do for now. I just need to add a TV and some living room objects. There's plenty of space for them. I planned to get rid of the basement, but in the end, I kept it. I had to add some long narrow corridors down there to allow them to access it. I gave them a roof garden this time - got rid of the old greenhouse. Lucky I did that as just about all of the plants in it were barren, but I had to click on each one to discover this.
I think I've just about got all the changes completed to my satisfaction. I played the game for an hour or so this morning and right on 9am the computer shut down. We finally found a notice in the letterbox saying they are working on it and the power and internet would be down until 3pm. So I found other things to do. The power was back on around 1 pm but the internet was not available until around 4pm. By then I was doing other things. It's now around 6 pm and it's over 30 degrees Celsius here and I'm not feeling like sitting at the computer for ages tonight.
Here's a bit of an update on what's happening in the game. Bill's lifetime wish is to become a celebrated 5-star chef. He's now working on the final level of the culinary career. I want him to get his LTW and would like them to have the reward fridge. I know it is available from a mod but I decided to move him back into the main household and will keep him there until he is very close to achieving his LTW. I don't want the game to suddenly decide to put him into a different career. I might activate the household he belongs in now and play it for a while after he gets close to achieving his wish.
All of the teens returned to C Grade at school when I moved them to Lucky Palms. It took them a few days and now they are all A Grade. The important pair are Oliver and Poppy. They will age up soon. Probably in the next episode I post.
Donna is pregnant so we will have the first child born to Generation 3 soon.
I've still got a few things to fix around the house. The two main things are adding a swimming pool as I forgot to add one and I like having the children fish in the pool. The other thing is the chairs I used for the dining room They are broken. They came with a store set and the have been fixed - but only the individual chair is fixed. So to get the fixed chair into the game the entire set needs to be installed item by item. I always do that but obviously messed up this time. I might have accidentally installed the set after installing the items from it individually. The fix is to set up a new Sims 3 folder and reinstall everything. I think I'll just use a different chair.
I think I may have enough recorded now to make the next episode. Tomorrow I'll start putting it together but I want to wait for the baby to be born before completing the video.
This is a pic of the new house as it was a few days ago. It is still much the same but has changed a bit since then. The horse paddock is partially in the foreground. That's where Olivia, Don, Cindy and Bill now live. The horses seem to love having such a large lot to gallop around in. I made their pond bigger and put way too many fish spawners in it. I might have to remove a few of them.
I haven't forgotten about the video on how to have a huge wedding. I just want to get this next episode out first.
