Apocalypse Challenge Discussion Thread

Summer gave birth to twins this time, named Anna and Zach Ellsworth. The twins are now children, Anna got the Geek trait, Zach got the Outgoing trait, and they both got the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. They are both A students and they are both on the final milestone for their aspiration. They have another week before they age up.

Summer's first child, Darryl Ellsworth, is now a Teen with another week before he ages up. He has the Art Lover and Cheerful traits. His childhood aspiration was Social Butterfly and his adult aspiration is Chief of Mischief. He completed his childhood aspiration, got an A in elementary school, and has an A in high school.

Isaiah died of old age a few days ago. Everyone else slept through his death but Summer got the Widow moodlet and was Very Sad for about 2 days. Summer aged up to Elder a few hours after she gave birth to the twins. She reached level 9 in the Management career over a week ago (Simtime) but she needed two skill points to max the Charisma skill and another skill point to reach level 8 in the Logic skill, so she just got her final promotion. I've been warned that she's on her final days and I expect her to die of old age tomorrow night around 10:30 p.m. That means she only has one more workday, so that second pregnancy was probably necessary to give her the time to complete her second career. The Management restrictions are now lifted and that's a great relief. It should make lifting the rest of the restrictions much easier. Summer's traits are Outgoing, Cheerful, and Active. Her aspiration is Friend of the World. She is not going to complete it because she has to meet someone new in 3 different places and right now the family is not allowed to go anywhere except Granite Falls. That would give her two locations but that's not enough.

I added another Sim from the Wonder Child challenge to the household while Darryl was a child. I'm allowed to do that because Isaiah lifted the Oracle restrictions. Her name is Lyla Knight and she's by giudittajudita. Her traits are Creative, Cheerful, and Active. Her aspiration is Bodybuilder. She has max skill in Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Painting. I was looking for the cooking skills so that I can get the Chef restrictions lifted. Lyla also has the Professional Slacker reward trait, so the Management restrictions don't apply to her and quite a few other reward traits, including Connections. I put her in the Culinary career and chose the Chef branch. She's now a Pastry Chef at level 7. She will age up to Adult in another week, which should be the same day that Darryl becomes a Young Adult and the twins become Teens. I intend to have Darryl marry her when he becomes a Young Adult and have at least one child very quickly. I am taking a slight risk by moving her in so early, since I won't be allowed to add another Sim to the household for this generation unless the Comedian restrictions are lifted. However, with three other Sims in this generation, including another female, I don't think the risk is very big.

Recap: I have completed the eSport Gamer, Space Ranger, Oracle, and Management careers. The first generation was Aidan Ellsworth and Liberty Lee. The second generation was Isaiah Ellsworth and Summer Holiday. The third generation is Darryl, Anna, and Zach Ellsworth and Lyla Knight. It's currently Thursday of week 15, which makes it day 103.
