So @NRowe started a discussion about exploring all of the game play in the Sims. @elanorbreton suggested going in alphabetical order and this gave me an idea for a legacy challenge. What if each gener...
This version of the challenge has only been updated through Crystal Creations. Since it's difficult to update posts that were transferred from the old forums, I set up a new thread here. As of right now, the new version of the challenge includes game play from Lovestruck.
Anelise is a young adult on her own now, so I'm going to restate her objectives, adding the ones that apply now that she's grown, and removing the ones that she's already achieved: Likes- Acting, Alternative Music, Art Deco and Queen Anne Decor Dislikes-None Teen + Skills- Acting Teen+ Aspirations-Angling Ace, Master Actor Careers- Astronaut, Athlete, Actor Collections- Aliens, Ancient Omiscan Artifacts Reside in- an Apartment in Arts Quarter, Acquisition Butte Visit- Arts Center, Ancient Ruins Other Gameplay- Join Avante Guards Club. Attend Alien night at a bar. Marry an Alien. Adopt a child. Own an Arcade machine.
Anelise has taken a two bedroom apartment at Medina Studios in the Arts Quarter. This gives her plenty of space to work out and to have a study for her archeology. I considered redecorating in her preferred styles, but since she has to move to the most expensive neighborhood in Oasis Springs later on, I thought it better to save money. Besides, the apartment actually comes with a number of Queen Anne items. Anelise loves the Arts Quarter. Not only is it convenient to visit the Art Center, but there is also a fishing spot in the neighborhood, so she can continue working on becoming an Angling Ace.
Anelise puts her new Museum Patron trait to use by throwing a party for her friends at Municipal Muses. This gives her the charisma she needs to excel in the athlete career and before long, she's getting promotions.
She couldn't have done it without Kate, so she takes Kate on vacation to Selvadorada. This also gives Anelise the opportunity to search for more artifacts to complete her Ancient Omiscan Artifacts collection. She then takes them back to her study in Medina studios, hoping that they'll be the artifacts she needs. Her archeology skill is also a source of income because museums pay her to authenticate their artifacts.
Zenith invites Anelise to go to Geekcon with her. Anelise tries out the space ship and is instantly hooked on the excitement of space travel. She learns that being an astronaut requires logic skill, so she starts working on that.
Anelise meets an alien named Charlie Hopper at Alien Night at the Shrieking Llama. He works as a gym trainer which suits his energetic personality. He has a crew of extraterrestrial friends ("Charlie's Aliens" if you will) and Anelise starts hanging out with them. The red head is Devon, who has the Childish, Geek and Jealous traits. The guy with the bun is Deonte, an e-sport gamer who dislikes working out and has the Self-Assured, Romantic and Vegetarian traits. The one sitting on the poof, glowering at Charlie's poor violin performance, is Antwan, a detective who likes playing violin and has the Self-Assured, Good and Neat traits.
Anelise has had a sort of a thing with her non-commital neighbor Naoki, but she wants to pursue a more serious relationship now. She's been debating between Deonte and Antwan, but, since they're all friends together, she didn't want to make a move until she was absolutely sure. She decided the time was right when she was promoted to Hall of Famer, the top of the athlete career. She invited Antwan to celebrate with her at a lounge and she started flirting with him.
Things have been going really well with Antwan. A friend of hers invited her to the Romance Festival and she consulted with the Romance Guru. She invited Antwan over and proposed to him in the heat of the moment. They were married on the spot.
They day after they were married, Antwan mind erased Anelise so that they're back to being acquaintances. I'm going to have to watch him for this going forward. Now he has to sleep in an inflatable bed in the study until their relationship is back up. Anelise invites him to go fishing with her to help build their friendship back up. This results in her completing the Angling Ace aspiration.
Anelise has decided to get back into the acting hobby that she starting dabbling with as a teen. Since plays are a type of literature, I thought it appropriate to add improved acting skill as a perk for the Avant Gardes. She and Hugo Villareal entertain customers at the South Square Cafe with their performances. At one point, she attracts the attention of a film director named Miho.
Anelise is promoted to Astronaut (level 7 in the career) and she celebrates by inviting friends to a party in the Ancient Ruins. It's a fun time. Toward the end of the night, Anelise and Antwan try for a baby in a nearby bush.
With a growing family, Anelise and Antwan decide that their apartment is too small, so they purchase Affluista Mansion in Acquisition Butte. Of course, there's not much point in a having a spacious mansion, if you don't have a big arcade machine.
