The Perfect Genetics Challenge

I finally got Episode 18 of Generation 2 of the Perfect Genetics Challenge loaded to YouTube and it is now available for you to watch.

It loaded really fast too. My new internet connection has changed the load time for a 30 minute video from about 8 hours to about 10 minutes.

The sims are in Vice City for the whole of this episode. We get to look around the world and into a few houses. I have bulldozed some lots in the world and placed some of my preferred venues in their place. I added a roller coaster that is available in my studio, the Porter Party Mini Warehouse from Showtime, The Elixir Consignment Store from Supernatural, Vaarg's Tavern from Supernatural, the Stones Throw Greenhouse from the Sims 3 Store and a wedding venue I built and it is not in my studio as it contains custom content.

Olivia is the founder of this Perfect Genetics Challenge. Her husband, Don, has taken some of their grandchildren to Mountain Lake to visit their cousins. The cousins needed training, and they needed to turn their imaginary friends real, and they needed to age up.

Four of the cousins aged up to Young Adult and there is no room in Mountain Lake for them to have their own homes so they need to move to a different world. Don took them to Vice City in the previous episode.

In this episode we have a look around the world, see where I placed the venues and have a look inside some of the homes.

Max is Don's alien son and he visits the roller coaster and throws a party at the Porter Party Mini Warehouse. The party is somewhat eventful as it is supposed to be a costume party but everyone got into the pool and had a great time swimming. A drowning was narrowly avoided and some of the guests became zombies during the party. But everyone went home happy and the party was awesome according to the majority of the guests.

I popped into Paul's new house to see his new basement that contains his sculpting equipment. Paul is Max's imaginary friend made real. Paul has the Bot Fan trait. I found him sitting reading while in his Bot Form. I told him to change into his organic form. He turned into his Doll Form. After several attempts to use his menu to get him into his human form I finally told him to change into his everyday outfit and that fixed him. He was back into his human form.

Then we go and have a look at Patricia's basement and this visit was uneventful. Then Don dialed up his travel provider and headed back to Mountain Lake. We will see him there is in the next episode.

I hope you enjoy this video.

Happy Simming

    Hi @zeegee1 thanks.  It's nice to see you too.  I'm not here much. I'm mostly still posting in the What Happened in your Sims 3 game today thread started by @emorrill .  We are hopefully waiting for the new forum to arrive.  I've started working on the next episode of Perfect Genetics today. It'll take a week or so to do so it won't be up for a while.  I hope I can find this post when I'm ready to load it to YouTube so I can add a link to it here.

    Happy Simming

    Perfect Genetics Generation 2 Episode 20 is now up on YouTube.

    https://youtu.be/QaBgXBgXiFg

    In the beginning of this video Don and his travelling party are still at Carla's place. We see the teens working on various skills and visiting different places around the Mountain Lake world.

    Then Don and his grandchildren who are travelling with him move across the street to spend time in the third household he is visiting on this trip to Mountain Lake. We get a quick introduction to the sims living in this new house. The new household is made up of James, Carla's ex-husband, and his plant sim girlfriend Mabel and Mateo, an imaginary friend made real as well as Connie who is Mateo's imaginary friend made real. Finally there is a pair of children who will age up to teen. They are an evil plant sim fairy hybrid named Marigold Flower and her imaginary friend made real, Julia.

    This household is a house of romance apparently. James is will his current true love, Mabel. And Mateo and Connie have a romance going on and we discover a budding romance within Don's the group of teens who are travelling with Don.

    I hope you enjoy the video.

    Life continues in the Walker household.

    In this episode there are some birthdays. We are preparing for the end of Generation 2 and the beginning on Generation 3 - so some sims need to age up.

    Several sims work on discovering new potions at the chemistry table.

    We see all of the household pets and Cindy fishes at her new pond to find some robot fish to satisfy an opportunity.

    Children work on child skills and Clark gets the Green Thumb trait when he ages up to Young Adult and then he immediately goes out to the greenhouse to try to revive some dead death flower plants.

    Episode 31 of The Perfect Genetics Challenge, Generation 2 is now available for you to watch on YouTube. I loaded it last night and YouTube are barely telling anyone about it. However, I noticed it has had 1 view and 2 likes. I'm confused. Not sure how that could have happened. I thought you had to view a video on YT to like it - maybe not.

    Here is the link to the video: Episode 31 of The Perfect Genetics Challenge, Generation 2

    This will be the final episode of generation 2.

    It is packed full of activities. Some things happening in this video are things I've never seen before in any of my previous Sims 3 games. I've been playing since the game was released in 2009. There are the usual scenes of sims developing skills. 
    A few members of the household visit the Fall Festival and participate in a variety of activities. 
    I noticed one of the sims from the 'Isla Paradiso Bunch' videos staying in the Base Camp next door to their home lot. Jeannie Jones is in this video - briefly.
    Somehow one of the horses broke into the greenhouse and couldn't get out. I had to mount a rescue.
    Donna, the heir, and Clark, her future husband, finally became girlfriend and boyfriend.
    Lots of new sculptures are made and one of the sculptors gets a surprise that I've never seen happen before in any game I've ever played - although I did know it was possible because I've read about it happening.
    The children do more fishing in the pool.
    Little Bindi scares me by going for a swim. I was sure he was about to drown.
    Connor finds a mystery bridge during one of his excursions to find gems and metals to complete an opportunity. I wonder if there is a train going over that bridge occasionally.

    Coco the cat is very vocal in her frustration of not being able to get into the fishbowls. I'm surprised the fish are still surviving for such a long time. 
    I hope you enjoy the video.

    This is a picture of Eunice and her imaginary friend made real, Patsy, enjoying the snow.

    The four young adults who recently aged up graduate during this episode. Then they get back to work on their various skills after the ceremony.

    I added an extra floor to their house and added the big round window to the front gable end to make it look a bit more interesting. No light seems to shine through it though.
