@Karritz - I have seen your videos. If the badge had not triggered for me this time, I was going to get the mod to allow more than 8 per household as you have done. I was wondering if you were going to continue with the series. Good luck with that badge.
I do plan to continue all of my video series. I am just trying to get the Isla Paradiso Bunch as far as I can before I have surgery next week. Once I'm over that I'll be back to doing all of my video series. The Isla Paradiso Bunch though, is just about finished for the current playlist and that's another reason I'm working on it. I had planned for them to collect all of the parts of the tomb collection for all of the World Adventure Worlds. They've completed Egypt and have 2 to get in China and 2 to get in France. The current video I'm working on shows them getting one of the final two in China. So, I hope to leave them with only 1 still to get in China before the end of next week. Then there'll be a gap for a couple of weeks (maybe more) I don't really know yet. When I'm back I'll do the final tombs of IP Bunch and leave them alone for a while and concentrate on all of the other series.
It had been 3 months since I did an update to the IP Bunch videos. There are several people working through the entire series, starting from video 1 in playlist 1 and a few of them have got up to the last video I have made so I thought I'd better get a move on and try to finish the tomb collections. I'm also keen to get those collections finished as it's something I've not tried to do before and I just want them all. But I'm having problems with placing them all on the same lot. It seems to be like trying to place the wrong ends of a magnet together - they repel each other. Interesting unexpected problems are emerging. Once I finish this playlist, I'll give them a rest and work out what to do with them next. Currently I've even had the game delete one as I was trying to place it. Had to close without saving after that happened - it is repeatable so care needs to be taken.
I'm thinking of packing the IP Bunch household up with a few significant others and their stuff and starting a fresh game with them in Sunlit Tides. I'll have to break up the household as there are currently over 20 sims in it by the time we get up to the latest episode and this is contributing to my memory issues when they are in Isla Paradiso. So I'll probably break them up into a few different households and play them rotationally if I start a third playlist with them. I'd like to see the toddlers all grow up but it isn't necessary.
As for the other series, I think I probably have too many 'children' in my game where I'm trying for the 30 grandchildren badge. I'm making it into a bit of a game and am currently trying to get them to achieve their lifetime wish before aging them up. Some will need to age up to get their LTW though. Since they were all 'created' on the same sim day (used a mod to make instant babies) there is no particular age order for them to age up to young adult. I still don't have much of a plan for how I'm going to achieve the 30 grandchildren. Initially I was going to get each of the 15 children to have 2 each. But it might be easier to pick a couple, or a few, of them to have more than 2 each. The soon to be grandfather is in another household in the world. I did add single sims to the world to be the partners of the 'children' when they grow up but they all seem to be pairing up with each other so I'm probably going to need to add a fresh bunch of partners for the soon to be young adult children. I started with an empty world. It could be over populated by the time I get the grandchildren. :D :s
If this attempt doesn't work, I'll clear out the game generated files from the Downloads folder and start again with some of the sims from the current attempt. I'll probably just move them to a new house in the same world, same game. This will allow the video story to continue. They are already in their own Sims 3 folder. I've ended up making special sims 3 folders for each of my video series. I keep the ones I'm not currently using on an external drive (or two) so as not to overcrowd my C Drive.
