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.
Bianca and Duane are now young adults living in their own place. I'm going to restate Bianca's objectives here, minus the ones she already accomplished, plus the ones that apply now that she's a young adult:
Teen+ Skills- Baking Teen+ Aspirations-Best-Selling Author, Big Happy Family, Beach Life Careers- Botanist, Business Collections-Buried Treasure Reside In-Bedrock Strait, Bridgeview Lot Traits and Challenges: Bracing Breezes Visit- Bar, Beach Aspiration Rewards-Brave Other Gameplay- Keep a Bubalus. Hire a Butler. Have a Birthday party and a Black and White bash. Attend Bear Night at a Bar. Bribe a Bouncer. Woohoo in a Bush. Own a Bee box, a Buffet table, a Bulletin board, a Buildem Blocks table, a Bonfire, a Bubble blower and a Basketball hoop.
Bianca and Duane now have a small house in Bridgeview, right across from Kepler Court, a library and sci fi club with a telescope. Its a perfect place for Bianca to work on the logic skill she needs for her gardening career. Because their house has the Bracing Breezes trait, they set up a Basketball hoop in the yard so Duane can work on his fitness.
They lost no time in getting started with their family. Bianca's baking skill helps with her hunger. Free honey doesn't hurt either. Because Bianca always performs the tasks for her gardener career at home, she's set up a garden with a Bee Box to help fertilize it.
Working from home gives her more time in the day, which she uses to work on becoming a Best-Selling Author. She sometimes invites the Avant Gardes over. I've purchased the max inspired vibe as a club perk, which guarantees that anything she writes during club meetings will be Excellent at least. The time seems to go by quickly until she is in labor. Apparently there is a healthcare worker shortage in the Sims, because there was no doctor to help her at the hospital. She ended up giving birth to her daughter Kalani at home. Either it's a glitch or the game is getting too real.
Publishing a tenth book gives Bianca enough aspiration points to earn the Brave trait. Now she won't have to worry about skeletons and ghosts. She advances to the Botanist branch of her career, so she now spends as much time analyzing her plants as cultivating them.
Now that Kalani is in elementary school, she enjoys playing with the Buildem Blocks table and reading kind messages from her parents on the Bulletin Board.
Duane takes the family to Ohanali Beach, where he spent so much of his time growing up. Bianca thinks she would really enjoy the Beach Life. She's also discovered that if you dig in the sand, you can discover Buried Treasure.
As a teen, Kalani is popular. In addition to friends, she has a girlfriend, Fatima. With Kalani more independent, Bianca and Duane can spend more time going out. They throw a Kava party at the Sand Bar in Ohanali, helping Bianca complete level 1 of the Beach Life aspiration, and Bianca tries out her new Brave trait by attending Bear night at the 8 Bells. Completely unfazed.
Kalani is a young adult now, old enough to marry Fatima. They have a beach wedding under the stars. It's so romantic that Bianca and Duane sneak over to a bush afterwards for some woohoo.
With Kalani moved out, Bianca and Duane waste no time in trying for a second child. Little Cedric is a Cautious infant who is happiest at home. I've decided that the heir will be their third child. Because there are more traits that start with C than one sim can have, especially if you don't have trait discovery, I'm giving Cedric the leftover traits. As a toddler, Cedric is a Charmer who likes to be with people, although he also enjoys his big sister's hand me down Buildem Blocks.
Bianca has written her third Best-seller, completing her Best-selling Author aspiration. This means she can now write the Book of Life. Although her books bring in good money and some fame, she's still not famous enough to get VIP treatment, which annoys her. She decides to bribe the bouncer at Orchid A Gogo to let her into the VIP section. It turns out she's the only one there, so she just hangs out listening to her favorite Blues music.
Bianca is now a Phd of Pollen, the top of the Botanist career. Duane celebrates by throwing her a Black and White bash at the Von Haunt Chalet Gardens.
They are expecting their third child, the heir. Since their lot in Bridgeview is too small to accommodate more than one child, they move to a larger home in Bedrock Strait, Oasis Springs.
