I started this one since I figured it would be manageable with my legacy challenges I've been doing. Because it only lasts as long as her lifetime.
I'm doing fairly well! I'm a new member and I can't share images yet, but Lady Amelia is halfway through her young adult stage and halfway through her baron aspiration. I moved in a butler when the house started getting quite large to "help out". Plus I didn't intend to have her marry nor have kids so I need someone to paint her portrait.
I have about half of the list completed. I've been working on the bare bones the house, as well as painting the walls and flooring but not so much decorations, my thought was if I focus on the structure of the house and the check list then I'll work on the furnishings when she's an elder. It's been fun.
However, the strangest thing happened. She's been gardening, she has 30 or so plants, lilies and rosebushes, then I planted two dragonfruit plants, and now I have tons of tiny ash piles all over the plants. In build mode if I move the plants there are about 10-15 ash piles clustered around and under each plant. I've been searching but I can't find any info on it. Anyone familiar with this? I have a screenshot but I can't post yet. I've been working on deleting them in build mode since having the sim throw each one away is time consuming... So strange!
