I think that round is going to drive me nuts. I'm normally such a perfectionist when it comes to colors matching and balance in placement. Probably why it takes me SO long to build anything. :D Grinds my gears so many build/buy objects the wood doesn't match on what should be matching sets. Ugh! Don't get me going on that...

EDIT: BTW, guessing the bunker was the thing you'd forgotten or knew he needed but couldn't think of what it could be, right? ;)

@Karababy52 I completely agree on not being able to match the wood tones on builds. I'm working on a shell challenge now that is driving me up the wall because I can't get things "just right" between the wood tones of the windows/doors and the furniture. Ugh. I don't know how I managed to get that mismatched trailer done without pulling hair out. I guess it was because I was being very purposeful about making things NOT match. I found myself matching things several times and had to go back and pick different items or swatches. And, yes, the bunker was what the build was missing. My hubby asked me where the bunker was when I showed him the build and the lightbulb went on.

As for answering your question, the original intention was to keep the same name/traits, and just change their clothing/hair styles and age of the sim. But I like the direction your mind went, if you want to do different traits and names, go ahead! There's nothing wrong with someone changing who they are and picking a new name for themselves as they go through life! :heart: Go with what feels right to you on that one. The main point is to leave body and facial "genetics" the same and see how different you can make them look. ... And on the house, I completely feel you on making the full six bedroom house - it was a huge undertaking that took me ages to do, and I definitely wondered why I was doing it several times during construction. That's one of the reasons there's the option of doing just room builds instead of forcing you to build a mansion. Also, I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge! I am absolutely floored by the response I've gotten for this challenge so far, and having fun working my way through the builds has been occupying most of my sim-time... my poor challenges and stories are all wondering when I'll be back!
