@meerkattime Thank you for all the wonderful feedback! I really appreciate it. ...It's funny how sims can whip fire extinguishers out their pockets! ...Maria and Keaunu only had 3 pts in Athletics and 1 in Martial Arts, so they're not tough enough to win against mummies. I was surprised that Maria won that first time! ...Maria must have been flattered a little over the mummy's attraction. But she has the Unflirty trait, so it's going to take some special effort to impress her into a romance. ;)
@bekkasan I'm glad you found my thread. I put links to the updates in the "What Happened" thread--and there's a link in my signature too in case you lose me! :D ...Thank you so much for the great comments. Very kind. ...I started playing Keaunu and Maria because I wanted to experience a different age level besides younger sims. I have a few elderly households and I think they're fun. ...I remember your casino. I did a search and found a couple of your posts about it. Very cool. Great job on that. I agree, @CravenLestat's Dutchess build is very versatile.
@Mikezumi Thanks for all the nice comments. I appreciate the time you take to read everyone's stories and give feedback. ...Yes, sims can get kind of particular about their sleeping arrangements! ...Maria kept walking off and would trigger the traps before I could stop her. :s ...Both Keaunu and Maria were carrying Death Flowers. Maybe that helped them not be cursed. I don't know. At any rate, they wouldn't have died. I had wanted to buy them mummy snacks to distract the mummies from attacking, but those have to be bought in Egypt.
@Karritz Thanks for checking out my new thread! ...I understand about renovating houses. I'm always adding rooms to mine too--up, down, sideways! :# ...I tried to think of some bucket list items that weren't too difficult. Some will take time though. I'll probably have to add a CC Epic Spawner to Sunlit Tides to get a chance at a will-o-the-wisp. The mod I have still keeps their appearances rare, but at least they show up now and then. ...Unless I have a gardening sim, I try to keep my gardens small because of the time it takes to care for the plants. Using the water pump helps a lot though--and the green dragon. Of course, for bigger gardens, the professional gardeners are indispensable! ...I was also afraid that one of the two would get cursed, but they made it though ok. My sims all carry Death Flowers. The flowers should keep them from dying even if they do succumb to the curse. Then again, I haven't worked a couple of the mummy cures yet, so I would try those before letting a sim die. ...There was a lot about the game I didn't know when I first started playing. I made several mistakes back then!
