One Month One World One Year Challenge 2022

Cale had a great convo with a different pretty stall vendor in my most recent post, but the one you're referencing he had on the 3rd, didn't go so well. o.O But anyway, yes, it's good to have friends. Or in Cale's case, contacts for later er, activities. ;) He could've roasted a fish, but then he'd have a bunch of leftovers with no fridge to put them in, at the time. hehe I suppose he could've left the rest on a picnic table for other Sims or cats though. *shrugs*

Cale's had pretty good luck with the Simmis, but they do get stuck a lot and it's not a very reliable source of income most of the time. I can't help having him buy them though, it's fun anticipating what he might get! :) I love Maralyn, she's hilarious and very pretty in my opinion. I'm biased, but I think she's one of the best Sims I ever made. :)

Whoa! Cha-ching! Nice chunk of change he got from Judith's autographs! Love the little house he ultimately chose to rent and live in, it's adorable. Bummer he didn't get credit for the aspiration from helping Bella. If that holds up from moving on to the next milestone, if it never properly gives him credit, I'd go ahead and cheat for it. Not Dylan's fault if it's a bug/glitch.

Very cool Dylan is friends with Kyoshi! Seems that Dude is always everyone's friend. Makes sense though since he's one of just a few teens in Mt. Komorebi. Love how he possibly will be a major part of your challenge this month, just like last year. Not the same way, of course, but still. :) Poor Dylan, the looks on his face while skiing cracked me up. Funny how he wanted to kiss the ground when he made it to the bottom. hehe Fun update!

Aww, man poor Kenzie. I can certainly understand her sadness over what happened. It would make me sad when I was a kid and couldn't go to the Father-Daughter dance at school since mine had passed away when I was 10. Hard hearing all your friends talking about how much fun they had. Anyway, I'm so glad Kenzie has Koji to help her deal with the disappointment.

Thanks about Cale reaching Level 10 in fishing, amazing how fast it happened eh? He goes fishing a lot though, so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. Yes, I'm slowly having Cale work out his anger issues, he'll have good days and probably even more bad ones, but eventually he'll get in a good place with his attitude. Might take all year, but we'll see what happens. Cale didn't finish the aspiration yet, he just completed the second milestone out of four. Thanks anyway though. :)

I am having fun with his shack. It's tough though to upgrade/remodel it and try to keep it still looking a bit rustic. I wish we had more grungy/broken objects in the game. It's a challenge, but I'm always up for that! ;) Aww, thanks about my Sims, made me smile! You make wonderful Sims too, Kenzie is so pretty and innocent looking, I love her!

That's the very reason I decided to give Cale full autonomy. I wanted to see why others rave about it so much. So far it's just frustrating more than anything. He keeps constantly wanting to run off and 'get water.' Sheesh! So far the most interesting thing he's done on his own was act tough with that stall vendor. The shocked look on her face was priceless. hehe Ah, okay, I thought you were using reshade. Good job editing your screenshots, that's all I do too. It's fun though eh? I love photoshop, it makes me happy too!

What an adorable little house for Kenzie, I love it! Wow, Kenzie has a lot of skills already, that's great! Cale doesn't have near as many as she does. Fun idea showing her skills overview every Sunday. *Gasp* I LOVE those two scenic shots, absolutely gorgeous! :) Both are great, but I love the first one the most showing the entire mountain!

Thank you so much for your opinion. I agree and love your idea! Obviously I'm using the mountain avy now as suggested by all. I'll probably keep it all month unless I find another screenshot that clearly shows him in Mt. Komorebi to use later as well. I'll switch avatars every month with the world themes for them too. Thanks again! :)

Oh and Ellu, I LOVE that avatar of Veera! Sure Christmas is gone now, but hey, it could represent Winter in general, right? ;)

I love how Lucy is having a rollercoaster of emotions, but always works them out to end up on a positive note. As I told Cale in one of my posts, always focus on where you're going, not where you've been. :)

Cale is the same way, he started out quite muscular, but with all the boxing he's been doing he's gaining even more. Still, it's a slower muscle gain and leaner than if he were to use a weight machine. Those make our Sims turn into gorillas very quickly! Cale will be staying away from those until he does the body builder aspiration. :) Essa gained quite a bit of muscles from the acting career too, but not overly so since she used the treadmill and jogging for fitness. :)

I've been following Adam's career since he first appeared on AI in 2009. I'm what they call a Glambert. But anyway, haven't followed him so closely lately. I agree about Ghost Town, one of my favorites. Whataya Want From Me is a classic! I love ALL his songs, but Aftermath, Pop That Lock, The Light and his versions of Show Must Go On & Who Wants to Live Forever with Queen are all special to me for various reasons. :) He's the only artist I've ever seen in concert more than once. Okay, sorry, enough about Adam. :D

Hey, another purple lover, cool! :) I think the only reason I notice them is because I'm always looking for beautiful landscape shots to take. Some of the worlds are just so beautiful in this game and I love taking photographs in real life too. I'm finding it very interesting how this hot head trait works in combo with other traits. Maybe Cale has stronger reactions to things because he has the mean trait too? Have no idea.

I figured it was just a coincidence Aaron was giving him the stink eye. That's another thing I love about this game and writing. It's very easy to make it LOOK like something different is happening from the reality of a shot. I guess that's why I like writing on the fly instead of going by a preplanned story. I let the screenshots drive the story most of the time. :)

I dragged my feet and refused to use CC/Mods for the majority of this iteration, but once I dipped my toe in the ocean, I jumped in and I'm enjoying swimming around in it so much, I'll never go back to shore. That is, as long as I can keep my head above water. I used way too much in TS2 and it corrupted my game, so I'm being a bit more cautious this time.

I don't mind at all that you wrote so much for Aaron, he had a lot going on that needed to be shared. Don't blame him for going to the Onsen to get out of the rain. Bummer it's still raining for him. I'm glad he has the beginnings of a real home now, even if just four walls and a couple things inside. It's wonderful when we can put things out that mean something to our Sims in their houses, it does make it feel more like their home instead of just a dwelling to escape the elements.

Laughed out loud over the pee bush. hehe I love that thing for Rags to Riches Sims, but I can see how they would think it's gross, it is! Cool that he met Aldo and Kenzie. Have fun with Hunter at the Festival of Snow Aaron. I'm sure that will help his mood immensely! :)

Love that DJ has a Father figure in Enele to help him in Mt. Komorebi. Smart move having DJ wear a helmet while climbing the rock wall. I wonder why the game didn't think of that. Or maybe it did? I've never used that object so perhaps it does. Whoa, sheesh Enele, let him get used to climbing first before you make it even more challenging. hehe Well I guess he is short on time and needs to hurry up with his training. Then skiing on top of that? No wonder his muscles were sore. Good thing they have those hot springs to relax those overworked muscles eh? :)

Oh boy, I feel you DJ, not looking forward to Winter with Cale. However, the snow does make everything look pretty, that's a plus! ;) Yay! Glad DJ was able to defeat that machine and get his coffee. Go DJ! Always makes me laugh when Sims walk around in just a towel that way. Why don't they change into their clothes? o.O Looks like that group didn't seem to care though so it's all good. :)

It's never too late to try this challenge! We'd welcome you to give it a try. You can just jump right in and try to complete this month's aspiration by the end of the month, or make whatever day you start your beginning date and do this month's aspirations within 31 days. Whatever you feel is most comfortable and fun for you if you decide to join us. Flattered you chose this challenge thread for your first post on the forum. One tip though, if you do decide to do the challenge, you'll need to increase your posts around the forum to reach the point where you can post images. Otherwise you'll have to use a blog and give a link to it until you do get to that point. Anyway, good luck if you do join us! :)

Good idea using Plopsy to get a gift for Aimi! That cross-stich is hilarious! hehe Oh yeah, that's the beauty of never putting anything down on their lot for Rags to Riches Sims at first. No bills! ;) Wow, Ivy is so pretty! She seems a bit pampered though whining about the cold. Guess I can't blame her though. Usually when one is invited to someone's home, they actually HAVE a home. hehe Oh cool, lots of challenge Sims showing up at the Onsen for Robin to meet. I wonder why Cale never shows up anywhere. He's not a loner, but must be he likes acting like one. hehe

Nice that Robin spent Winterfest with Aimi and her family. Very sweet gift Aimi gave her, those skis will certainly come in handy! Aww, Congrats to them for making their relationship official! About her money situation, well see Robin started in Winter, that's tough all on it's own to make money for R2R Sims. I'm sure things will look up for her soon! :)

Skating at 5 a.m. hehe Not surprised, our Sims really don't have much of a concept of time anyway, except for when it's time for school or work. Huh, very strange the game let her swim in the icy water that time, but not others. Sometimes the mechanics of this game and how the Devs determined when Sims can and can't do the animations puzzles me. Hmm, maybe the other family members had to work? It's possible I guess. hehe
