Apocalypse Challenge Discussion Thread

Thanks for starting this thread and reporting on your progress, #Sketch793! I am contemplating on starting my first attempt of this challenge and find your insights very interesting and useful.

I was surprised to see that you chose Tech Guru - eSport Gamer as your first career. I did not consider it at all important until I read that you can actually write skill books! I did not know that - how do you do that?? Can you write different level skill books?

And the fact that your second generation married Summer made me realize that you don't have to have aging on for unplayed sims.

I have my own WonderChild for the challenge. I had not read the restrictions very thoroughly before finishing, so my sim is both well and not so well equipped for this challenge. He has lots of skills (e.g. max on cooking, charisma and logic) but I played for lots of points and chose the cheaper reward traits for him. So instead having Steel Baldder and being Antiseptic, he is Always Welcome and gets Free Services which traits are useless for the founder of the Apocalypse challenge.

With your experience, what career would you choose for my founder? He has maxed charisma, cooking, fishing, logic, painting, violin and writing, has 6 pts in video gaming, 5 in handiness and photography and random points in all the rest of the skills (3 pts in Programming).

Good luck with your challenge! I hope you keep on posting about the Ellsworths!
