Well darn, too bad the club idea didn't pan out. I think you're definitely right, the only way to accomplish the mountain climb excursion with others at the proper skill level, and equipment, is to move them in with your Teen. Unless you can find one that might possibly be skilled enough at the Rock Climbing gym. Which leads me to your next question. I think designating Newcrest as a neutral world is a brilliant idea! I still don't know if you can actually gift the climbing equipment to another Sim though. I haven't tried it yet. I just had Josh buy the equipment using Tessa's computer. I'm open to any other ideas someone might have as well.
Starting out Rags to Riches is optional for all other worlds, and even to start. I put it in the rules that it's acceptable to use the 20K starting simoleans for your Teen if you wish. I just enjoy starting all my Sims out Rags to Riches whenever possible. I love the challenge! I'm thinking more and more I'll just go with the idea of having Tessa keep a few personal items, like some photos, her Bunny school award for excellence, maybe the tent she bought for their climb, etc., then sell everything else and use the funds to build a new house in Evergreen Harbor like I mentioned in the rules.
Yes, I did mention it in the rules that you can use Satisfaction points to buy any Reward traits you wish, except I personally won't be buying the Money Tree seed for Tessa, it seems way too cheaty. I hadn't planned on buying her the Always Welcome trait either. But only because I already have a modified Magnolia Blossom park to use in an emergency. I think I posted about that too in reply to someone?
I'll update the rules when I get back online later this evening. I've once again stayed up waaaay past my bedtime and I'm exhausted. I'm just having too much fun and don't know enough to stop when I should. Opps! o.O
Just wanted to say though, Sakura looked awesome in your photo of the day! Tessa hasn't done much snowboarding, and when she did, she fell a lot, so I've never seen that moodlet she got. Very cool! :)
Also, @Hermitgirl Roxanne is doing great! Smart girl taking advantage of her neighbors the way she's doing. ;) Also, that townie, uh, isn't exactly a fashionista is he? Why are most of the NPC males generated by the game pear shaped and dress in the dark? :D Personally, if I were her? I'd go after Duane for romance instead of that guy. But he'd make a good friend! ;)
Alrighty, time to get some ZzzzZZZs.... have a great day! :)
