LLANDROS ULTIMATE SIM CHALLENGE

The Challenge

I am starting this blog to launch my 2nd attempt at Llandros Ultimate Sim Challenge. Why a second attempt? Because the first attempt failed halfway through the season with a series of crashes and corrupted saves. And when I couldn't fix them I decided to just start from scratch, and take what I learned in attempt one to improve my strategies!

I have already built my future ultimate sim a very decent house to buy after getting her degree, instead of taking over the Landgraab mansion. Which ended up costing around 400k, but as she has to be a werewolf and found a couple of pieces of tiberium in the university world, I hope she will be able to afford it! You can find the screenshots of the build here!

As soon as I launch the new challenge I will post a fresh introduction of Amber, my Ultimate Sim to be, with all the info of what I changed and why, and with fresh screenshots of her outfits which I am also planning to tweak. Feel free to follow this topic if you are bored enough interested in following my attempt at something way to big for me to chew! : P

The Seasons



IMPORTANT:

If you read this blog, and like to say something, comment, give tips, ideas, or friendly yelling that I totally messed something up in your opinion; please feel free! This is not the kind of blog where I alone may post! I love to hear from anyone who likes to waste their time on me let me know!

    SEASON 19 - ROARING HEIGHTS

    Regretting Your Sales

    So, I think we can all relate, opening every treasure chest you find, stumbling upon a hidden door in the darkness, opening it, finding the so-manieth shaped gem, selling it because you don't want an over-stacked inventory slowing down your game, and playing on for the next two days.... only to find out that the thing you sold was actually what you needed to finish a tomb and it's adventure and unlock the next one! Plum! Now what! So I took the long route in fixing it! But I did finish the Nectar Cellar and it's two tombs, and now I am only missing a couple of smaller tombs and the 3 signet relics that belong to them. So I hope to be able to close the French adventure soon, and prepare for Egypt!

    Goals


    • Finish the last 3 Tomb locations in France
    • Get the last 3 Relics from the French Signet Collection
    • Sell my Vacation Home & travel back to Roaring Heights
    • Prepare to depart for Egypt

    It helps to have more than 1 save. You could just replay it ;) I usually have a save in the adventure worlds.

    Thanks, do you mean a save with the same sim or just another game you play! I don't know if you saw the other topic, I solved it by traveling home, moving the France files out of my save, traveling to a fresh France, getting the one object, traveling back home and replacing my 'own' France back into the save. I did just to be sure sell my vacation home before leaving, so the game wouldn't get confused about that.!

    SEASON 19 - ROARING HEIGHTS

    Bye Bye France

    I finished the French Tombs and found all of the French Relics. There was a BIG difference between the Chinese Dropa Stones (Hangout at the Relics store for days) and the French Dropa Stones (like, 4 or 5 found of each?) that I found baffling. But it is all done. I once again deleted the 'completed' world files after selling my vacation home and traveling back, because the less clutter in my save folder, the better my game runs. And that makes it a whole lot more playable. Time to prepare for Egypt! <3

    Goals


    • Add an Egyptian inspired outfit to her everyday category (and maybe give her a tiny makeover too)
    • Travel to Egypt with Androida
    • Buy a nice Holiday Home in Egypt
    • Start Tomb-Raiding

    What I'm doing is if I'm in France or Egypt or China, I name my save 'France'. Or when you save, just add a 1 or a 2 on the end. Then it also saves it in a different file. When you go back to your town, save it in the original file. If you made a mistake you can always go back to that save and play from there.

    But your way is just as good... :p


    I use Nraas Saver and it rotates between _1 to _4 all the time. But if what you messed up is like 10 or more saves back then that is no use, lol! It does help somewhat though. Thanks for your info!

    Yeah, it only helps if you realize your mistake right away. ;)
