Apocalypse Challenge Discussion Thread

Isaiah got the Art Lover, Clumsy, and Geek traits from the Legacy Challenge Random Trait Generator, in that order. His childhood aspiration was Artistic Prodigy and his adult aspiration is Renaissance Sim, these also came from the trait generator. Isaiah completed his childhood aspiration and got A's in school as a Child and Teen. I paid close attention to the aging up time and day when he became a Young Adult and decided that his next birthday would be around 5 a.m. on a Friday. After comparing that to the work schedule, I chose the Criminal career for him so that he could complete the Oracle branch. It turned out I was right, so he had his birthday on his day off and was able to complete the career. He wasn't as fortunate on his next birthday, which was also around 5 a.m. on Friday, because that is a workday for the top level job. He's now an Elder and contributes to the family income by hacking.

Isaiah made friends with Summer Holiday as a Child and Teen, and asked her to move in when he became a Young Adult. This time, I actually did move her in. Isaiah and Summer quickly developed a romantic relationship but I waited until they were both Adults before they tried for baby. Summer gave birth to a boy who I named Darryl Ellsworth.

Summer kept her job in the Culinary career. I had originally planned to have her lift the Chef restrictions but I discovered that Aidan's skill books gave little or no skill gain at the upper skill levels, so I chose the Mixologist branch for her instead. She was doing well in that career until her birthday. Unfortunately, her aging up time overlapped her job, so she left work early and had to quit. I got her a new job in the Business career and chose the Management branch. She's currently a Vice-President, level 7, and due to age up but she's also in the third trimester of her second pregnancy. She should go into labor around 10 p.m. Sunday, and I expect her to age up early Monday morning or after work on Monday, but I'm not certain I'm correct. She might lose another job. I'm finding the Management restrictions quite difficult, so I really hope she'll be able to complete the career.
