Hi everyone, and welcome to my second attempt at the Ultimate Sim Challenge. You can either or check out my old story to see what happened up to the beginning of Season Two or just read my little recap below.So I started out with a Sim named Brittany Page. She was an alternate version of a Sim from another save. She moved to an empty lot with no house and no skills. Brittany went to University where she was only allowed to learn these three skills, Social Networking, Charisma, and Alchemy. Brittany became a werewolf at University and found most of the gems, metals, and insects the game has to offer. She graduated with a business degree then started a daycare in Sunset Valley. Once that job was done, she started the business career and married Christopher Steel. Together, they had a child named Lauren. Brittany worked at the bookstore and Lauren married Mack Keaton, a son of Justine and Marty. Afterwards, she moved her family to Riverview. This is where the second attempt begins as Llandros2012's rules don't say you can't do this and I am only playing for fun anyway. I'll post the first update sometime tomorrow.

Real life got in the way so I didn't have much time to play today. I decided to do a small little picture recap to get everyone new to the challenge up to speed without having to check out the original story. It won't be as in depth as the original season one but will give you a better idea what she had to go through to get to this point.https://i.imgur.com/kycTWtG.jpgThe first thing Brittany did was buy an empty lot in Sunset Valley, then she headed off for University to obtain a business degree, and also to max the rebel social skill.https://i.imgur.com/wDaCoih.jpgBrittany had 7 roommates while in University, all with distinct personalities.https://i.imgur.com/GLAtxq9.jpgOne skill that Brittany had to work on was social networking. I don't know if some of you know, but at level 7 you get a thing called the Relationship Transmogrifier. This allows you to instantly change your friendship status with any Sim or change relationships between other Sims. She also has to do every skill challenge for every skill so this includes five blogs. You have to finish all of this by season 19.https://i.imgur.com/otMJMxW.jpgCharisma was another skill that had to be learned so Brittany met many different Sims. Charisma and Social Networking together make it very easy to make friends. Here she is talking to celebrity Ben Trigger, gaining her first celebrity point by impressing him.https://i.imgur.com/SUKtrKl.jpgThis season, your Sim has to be a werewolf so I made sure that Brittany got bitten during the first week of University.https://i.imgur.com/3Q3Kfih.jpgAlchemy was the third skill and it was a freebie skill so it doesn't have to be maxed, although I did work hard to get it close.https://i.imgur.com/bucStfG.jpgEventually, Brittany got her degree and had most of her three skills maxed.https://i.imgur.com/dbOMfzJ.jpgThe challenge creator, Llandros2012, used this house and since he doesn't care if people want to follow along with him, I decided to use it as well.https://i.imgur.com/fX1kvYk.jpgAs a werewolf, Brittany collected all these insects, gems, and metals. Any extra's could be sold off so Brittany had some nice money to start off with.https://i.imgur.com/ooiFTEj.jpgYou also had to have two roommates during the entirety of the season. I ended up with Ian Bowler and Abraham Finkel.***I'm going to post at least one or two more small updates to get everyone up to speed before I start Season Two. If you want a more in depth story, check my original attempt up to the point I marked on it.

https://i.imgur.com/a2Rat1U.jpgBrittany's first job ever was as a daycare professional. Due to game problems, I had to completely wipe out my Sims and start the challenge over. Instead of Abraham Finkel, I got Dave Ramsey as well as Ian Bowler for my roommates but not much else changed.https://i.imgur.com/N2OJLcw.jpgBrittany needs a husband so she can have the required child per town. Christopher Steel was the very first husband Brittany ever had, this is when the first met. By this time, she was worth at least $250,000.https://i.imgur.com/7HdYKbQ.jpgBrittany had a nice Snowflake Day with Christopher, the reason for the costumes is that this update was very close to Christmas 2018.https://i.imgur.com/eWTjpy8.jpgEventually, Christopher proposed to Brittany and she gladly accepted. Christopher was going to be a big help since Brittany was locked out of most skills during this time period.https://i.imgur.com/l7S5Hdr.jpgI can't remember how many days it was, but soon after the proposal, I set up the wedding. Brittany became Brittany Steel from this moment on.https://i.imgur.com/sjIPW2O.jpgBy this time, Brittany had quit the daycare career for the business career. Due to her degree, she was able to start at level 4 but in this picture, she is level 6. Not too much later, the Steel's became the richest family in Sunset Valley, even richer than the Goth's, Alto's, and Landgraabs, mainly due to Tiberium.https://i.imgur.com/KQ8HqiI.jpgThe Steel's welcomed their daughter, Lauren Steel. Brittany was on maternity leave so she had to wait for her next couple promotions.https://i.imgur.com/Rg9w6iE.jpgIt wasn't very long before little Lauren aged up to a toddler. Both Christopher and Brittany were very good parents and I just adored this little family.https://i.imgur.com/CWT35oD.jpgWhen Brittany finished the daycare career, I had Christopher join the police force. I remember that some people said he made a great cop.https://i.imgur.com/sFXuQN6.jpgEventually, Lauren aged up to childhood. She was a genius, easily impressed, and a cat person. Sadly, she never got that cat since Brittany was kind of forbidden to have one. As you'll see in a few updates, Lauren really lived up to the genius trait.

https://i.imgur.com/ygMCv3u.jpgLauren had learned all the toddler skills she could and she still continued to learn all the ones a child can learn.https://i.imgur.com/3JTXWSB.jpgLauren learned logic astonishingly quick due to her mother protesting about unskilled Sims. Some Simmers don't know about this but you'll have to ask me if you want further information as this is just to get everyone up to speed.https://i.imgur.com/hLk6nnn.jpgBrittany reached level 10 of the business career, knocking off another requirement for the season.https://i.imgur.com/iqqAJcw.jpgLauren was a bit awkward as a teenager but she had a lot of skills by this time and quickly became an all time favorite Sim. She gained frugal as a trait when she aged up.https://i.imgur.com/7Jywhxg.jpgChristopher aged up to an elder shortly before Lauren became a young adult. He retired from the police department and spent the rest of his life in Sunset Valley fishing or gardening.https://i.imgur.com/W4cXNSt.jpgBrittany joined the part-time bookstore job as her final job in Sunset Valley. She went through the levels rather quickly. By this time, she had $615,000 in the bank and the house was probably at least worth $40,000.https://i.imgur.com/iihkgJu.jpgNow Marty and Justine Keaton had a son named Mack Keaton. He had some truly awful traits but he and Lauren fell in love anyway so I continued their romance. By this time, Lauren had almost completed her lifetime wish even though she was still a teen. She was more skilled than her mother at this point.https://i.imgur.com/p3FjOs9.jpgLauren aged up very well for a young adult. She wears a Diesel shirt, shorts, and flip flops even in the winter. You'll see what I mean as she still dresses this way when I start Season Two tomorrow.https://i.imgur.com/UYEZaVq.jpgAfter a quick wedding, our family of four packed up their bags and got ready to move to Riverview. They original did Riverview, Twinbrook, and part of Barnacle Bay in the first attempt but I lost my saves so this new attempt starts right after they move to Riverview. I hate that I have to do the skills over again for the next three towns but it will be fun to change things up a bit.

@king_of_simcity7 Thank you. It's going to be so nice playing this family again, although I'm going to do things a bit differently to change it up from the original attempt.

@queenvortex808 Not sure if you're interested but I tagged you just in case since I knew you liked the story of Brittany's mother Ava.

Ultimate Sim Challenge, second attempt.

First thing I had Brittany do on this Tuesday was work on her street art and listen to the guitar tabcast.

https://i.imgur.com/2CHh2uV.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/dC12YrU.jpg
Brittany really needs to work on the 50 and 75 meal skill challenges so I had her make fruit parfait for breakfast. Once she finished, she sat down to eat before doing more street art.

https://i.imgur.com/8qGNKHL.jpg
Today was a lecture day but instead of listening to the lecture, I had Brittany work on street art until it was over.

https://i.imgur.com/b6Xf57I.jpg
I had Brittany throw another protest against unskilled Sims and as usual, it was a success. She'll only throw one more before heading back to Riverview.

https://i.imgur.com/yso4UEc.jpg
Before midnight, Brittany's social need was getting low so I had her talk to Christopher again. At the end of the day, she had her guitar skill to level 7 while her street art was at level 5.

https://i.imgur.com/IDeo7lN.jpg
Before her three classes started, Brittany did more street art in her dorm. Not sure how the adminstration likes Brittany's redecorating.

https://i.imgur.com/8bE9Ote.jpg
After the classes finished, Brittany headed home to eat supper. This was Wednesday and she made it to level 9 guitar and level 6 street art. Now she can check for commissions which gain her $2000 every time and a big boost to the skill.

***Next update will cover Thursday thru Saturday's graduation.

On Thursday, Brittany made more fruit parfait for breakfast before heading to her outside class.

https://i.imgur.com/NkVNB3A.jpg
At class, Brittany worked on a street art commission that she had got before the class started. As long as you are on the lot for these classes, you can do whatever you want and still get credit for class.

https://i.imgur.com/XzL3siE.jpg
Afterwards, I just sent her home to work on her painting skill. This was before the clock turned to her Friday finals so she maxed both Street Art and Guitar. Now she just has the skill challenges and get her painting up to 10, plus her three jobs and having a kid.

https://i.imgur.com/07girfS.jpg
After eating her breakfast, I had Brittany read a few more recipes. I'm saving the longer ones for when she gets home.

https://i.imgur.com/VRONIr5.jpg
Before her first final, I had Brittany work on another street art project.

https://i.imgur.com/3yrcsuN.jpg
Brittany passed all her finals with a full performance bar!

https://i.imgur.com/OBmqLPB.jpg
Graduation day! Brittany switched out her great kisser trait for natural cook then headed to the dorm so I could gather up things I set out for her. She waited until 9 and then my computer crashed trying to send her home. I re-loaded the game and got her home alright.

The first thing I had Brittany do back at home was upload her resume, then take a job in the culinary career. Now the last time I did this, I quit the job at level 10 but this time Brittany will stay in her careers for the full time like Llandros states in his rules.

https://i.imgur.com/ELg4I0J.jpg
The last time I also turned the garage into Lauren and Mack's apartment so I did the same thing here. They had a child named Andrew in the original attempt and they will have a child here but it won't be Andrew. This is just the bathroom, I forgot to show the rest but you will see it as we play anyway.

https://i.imgur.com/OSxaZG6.jpg
Brittany missed Christopher so she gave him a kiss, not caring that a townie was watching.

https://i.imgur.com/KEDgy8l.jpg
I had her make five meals to store in the fridge to feed the four of them. We at least know that two more people are getting added later so the food will come in handy, may even throw a party on Leisure Day.

https://i.imgur.com/xWJV6DP.jpg
Everybody was a bit slow eating and Brittany finished before anyone else did so I had her read a few recipes.

https://i.imgur.com/7eOgtU0.jpg
This Lauren's skills aren't as high as the original's, although she is still highly skilled. I needed her gardening skill to be higher so I sent her to watch the Gardening Channel and listen to the gardening tabcast. She made it to level 5 before the night was through. I gave her 10 of Brittany's life fruit as well.

https://i.imgur.com/8Ead1ht.jpg
Like last time, I'm having Christopher do home upgrades on everything so nothing will break. Cleaning can then be done by my Sims, don't need a maid for this. They will have to get a butler in a later season though.

https://i.imgur.com/6ZJPFbR.jpg
I hate when Brittany's rebel social influence drops because she has to rant about something right away to get it back to 10. This time she ranted about politics.

https://i.imgur.com/bWmVqTT.jpg
Before bed, I had Lauren watch more TV while her husband, Mack Keaton, played foosball.

https://i.imgur.com/J18wX40.jpg
I also had Brittany work on a few more street art projects while everyone else went to bed.

On Monday, Brittany will start as an Ingredient Tester in hopes of becoming a celebrity chef. I'm hoping things progress quickly so she can enjoy being at the top. Mack will start his job at the Science Facility while Lauren starts a small garden in the basement of their apartment. Christopher will spend his elder days as a fisherman but will not become a self-employed one. I'll play the Ultimate Sim Challenge tonight then will go to the Christopher and Blair save for a while.

Monday came around as I first opened the game so I also gave Brittany a makeover. It's the same hairstyle and shirt as the original season two. Brittany worked on reading more recipes and doesn't have that many more to learn.

https://i.imgur.com/ZqnzEsf.jpg
Christopher and Mack ate a fruit parfait breakfast together. Brittany had already eaten and Lauren is eating life fruit for now.

https://i.imgur.com/j2Bmtrn.jpg
After eating her life fruit, Lauren began planting the beginnings of her basement garden. She planted ingredients for potent invigorating elixirs for now but will also grow life fruit when she hits level 7.

https://i.imgur.com/fjR3SOQ.jpg
Once that was finished, Lauren went to the ground floor of the apartment to play foosball.

https://i.imgur.com/kQcAxdM.jpg
Christopher enjoys his retirement and so I sent him fishing for fish to use as fertilizer in the underground garden.

https://i.imgur.com/sCvzb1s.jpg
I sent Lauren to check out the market stands to see if any life fruit was being sold. Unfortunately, there was none to be found.

https://i.imgur.com/8boK26a.jpg
Before work, Brittany ate sushi for lunch then took off in her car to head to the Bistro.

https://i.imgur.com/y9W9345.jpg
Lauren's actual job will be as an author, at least for awhile so I had her join the career at the City Hall.

https://i.imgur.com/Z5RbWvn.jpg
After Mack got home from work, he and Lauren had some fun in the shower. There is no better way to get clean, lol

https://i.imgur.com/Jo9pAuk.jpg
All of the performance metrics for at the highest so Brittany got promoted to level 5, Line Cook.

https://i.imgur.com/LNCpnVq.jpg
While the others were heading for bed, Brittany decided to eat at the Bistro for a late supper. She also had an opportunity to promote the restaurant to three people but by the time she got done eating, she only had one person to promote it too. She'll have to find the others later.

Brittany had to read a book for a job opportunity so I had her work on that in the morning, as well as reading a few more recipe books.

https://i.imgur.com/bMTdbNH.jpg
Lauren had a celebrity opportunity to workout for 4 hours. After eating her life fruit, she hopped on the treadmill.

https://i.imgur.com/0YTEJSu.jpg
I guess her life fruit must have been rotten because she got sick while she was running. :wink:

https://i.imgur.com/Fvwmjdc.jpg
Before Mack headed off to work, Lauren made sure to give him a kiss. (After washing her mouth out and brushing her teeth, lol)

https://i.imgur.com/x6xyzIj.jpg
Christopher spent some time this morning working on upgrades around the house.

https://i.imgur.com/ZbeUMOP.jpg
Lauren finally got the seventh level of gardening so I had her plant one life fruit. Once all these plants bear fruit, the better quality ones will be planted.

https://i.imgur.com/gsRTXrd.jpg
Before going to work, Brittany worked on a few more meals for the skill challenge.

https://i.imgur.com/sOmbyVd.jpg
Mack got promoted to level two in the science career.

https://i.imgur.com/tyD9vgH.jpg
Lauren began working on her first book called, The Lost Astronaut. It is about an astronaut who was accidentally left on an alien planet and how he attempts to get back to planet Earth, meeting many alien friends and enemies along the way.

https://i.imgur.com/P9PzkPu.jpg
Christopher and Mack ate supper while Brittany was still at work and Lauren was writing her first book.

https://i.imgur.com/Su6371C.jpg
While waiting for Mack to finish, Lauren watched the gardening channel, hoping to increase the skill.

https://i.imgur.com/PFJE5lh.jpg
Brittany got promoted to level 6 in the culinary career. Now she has two days off before hopefully getting her next promotion.

https://i.imgur.com/TCslCq7.jpg
She also found another Sim to try and complete her opportunity where you promote the restaurant to three Sims.

Sad to say that I have to quit the challenge yet again, but this time it is because my computer cannot handle the game with everything installed on it. I had to quit using some of the EP's and SP's which takes away so much because the rules are for people who at least have a majority of them installed.
