Thanks @BreeMiles Yes, I'm having a lot of fun with this so far and it's only been one day. I've personally never seen the air kiss greeting myself either until last night. Per your advice and @ADWilson I removed points from Nadine & Will for that interaction.
I'll not interfere with the stereo from now on either. I just know from past experience in the Asylum challenge that Sims can not sleep when there's a stereo on in the room. It's a struggle not to take care of my Sims since my modus operandi is to micromanage them. lol
I figured resetting glitched out Sims/Pets would be acceptable. Most other challenges I've played allow for this too. I know about the glitch with Sims standing outside after coming home from work too. It's frustrating! I had that happen a lot with my Sims in the Trade Off challenge.
I've used all your suggestions for sharing screenshots over the years and I'm well-versed in the use of spoilers. Thank you for the information though. :)
I guess I really was just wondering which method y'all prefer for sharing my playthrough. It seems to be different depending on the wishes of the creator. For instance, Build-N-Share requires a link to a slideshow and only post a max of two screenshots in the thread for our builds. Whereas, in the 'What Happened in Your Game Today' thread it's more open to interpretation. Some post a multitude of screenshots without using a spoiler, some post 1-5 and the rest in a spoiler.
In story threads, the majority of writers post a chapter screenshot with a link to their blog. A few prefer update posts be in text form without screenshots though to keep down on the lag that can happen to some members using less powerful computers when viewing post after post filled with screenshots.
I believe the forum rule is actually to post up to five screenshots and put the rest in a spoiler, but most don't follow that rule and the forum moderator hasn't made an effort to enforce it. I'm sure it's because they know members enjoy looking at them and probably they do too!
I know it says posting playthroughs is allowed in this thread, I just need clarification before posting a load of screenshots here. That's probably what I'll do, if it's okay? I'll just post a few with the rest in a spoiler. Or just post highlight screenshots after my initial Day 1 post with the rest of my updates in text form. Let me know! As always, I'll have to do it later tonight after Hubby's gone to bed, but I'll be here for a couple hours until then. :)
