Wow, I was not expecting so many comments when I woke up :sweat_smile: Ya'll really know how to make a simmer feel loved lol.
@Mionax OHHH that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!
@debjameswhite So just out of curiosity, I looked up Ulysses' household (he's a random townie the game generated on Haven's first day of school)...low and behold he DOES have a single mother, but she looks like she could be Aiyden's sister, or even twin. So Aiyden's in the clear on that one - Ulysses definitely didn't get those pencil thin lips from Aiyden :lol: I'm thinking about putting the Evergreen Harbor townies back in for gen 2 - like they "moved back" when they saw how nice the town's getting. I really like the Evergreen Harbor townies and want them in my game for at least a little while, and well, if Eden falls in love with Knox, so be it... :lol: I love the idea of passing on gardening! Keeping Evergreen Harbor green :smile: And I totally don't mind a time-jump! There is definitely still plenty of mystery in your story... What happened all that time he was gone?? What is this mysterious "occupation"?? I wonder if he was a criminal or a secret agent... Still, he's so cute and I'm so glad they're finally together :blush:
@OJenn I was doing sooo well with Bowie, I even thought to myself "I bet this cowplant is going to live all ten generations!" Hahahaha wishful thinking. They do die so easily. I actually like the 'marketplace' community lot best. I'll show it off in my next update, I need to get my sims out more anyway lol. The garden is nice, but it comes "empty" - there aren't actually any plants. After a full day of talking to townies there, they planted a lot of common plants that you get from the starter packs. The only new plant I got was tomato :tongue: I like Aiyden's makeover too, so mature :blush: Okay, so just to clarify the skills -- do we need to pick one skill and pass it down to each generation, or just pick a skill for the current generation to pass down and can change it the next generation? (For example: Iris passes down gardening to gen 2, then passes down charisma to gen 3, then gen 3 heir passes down logic to gen 4, etc.) I like the idea of them passing down a skill they've maxed, but I'm not sure I want to max out a single skill 10 times (like logic...that's soooo much chess :grimace: ) lol.
@Heckstress17 Omg and here I was like "maybe I'll just wait to post this til normal people hours, because no one will see it til then anyway" :lol: I'm glad I posted it when I did then. My bf and I are both night owls - the only day I go to bed before 2AM is Monday, because I have a morning shift on Tuesday. Otherwise, bedtime is anywhere between 2am and 5am :sweat_smile: LOOK I tried SOOO hard to keep Bowie alive, but I got busy, and Aiyden just wouldn't autonomously take one for the team and get eaten. It's all Aiyden's fault. I'm blaming him and that's that. :lol: Eden is a total diva. I'm planning to binge sims this weekend, so I went ahead and use the randomizer on the front page to have their teen/adult aspirations ready (I use the in-game trait randomizer cause it keeps the mystery alive 'til age-up lol), and they both got awesome aspirations, very fitting for each of their personalities. I have no idea what she's going to do career-wise, but if she keeps the diva personality, I'm thinking she'll do something charisma-based like politician, social media, style influencer, etc. OK so I love D&D with all my heart, but I NEEDED this break because I'm so into sims right now and keep slacking on D&D anyway :lol: Perfect timing for everyone to be out of town so I can sims to my heart's content :smiley:
