Welcome one and all to volume 2 of the Rebuilding Worlds Challenge! This challenge has gone through a few different renditions and has been going on in one way or another since 2010! With V...

@IllusoryThrall YAY you're joining us!! I LOVE the idea of playing through 100 generations! It's a HUGE challenge, but the gene pools, building aspect, and other little rules make it feel more structured and manageable. I think if you just take it one world at a time, you'll knock it out in no time. The only thing that makes rebuilding ALL of the worlds a little weird right now is that this challenge is split into basically two challenges - the other thread has gene pools for Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, and 1 or 2 alternate gene pools (I think), and the rules were a lot more lax (no building restrictions or floor plans or anything), whereas this one focuses on the EP worlds and is a lot more structured. Honestly I'd love to see this new challenge expanded to include all of the worlds, so we can all play & post here even if someone wants to play in Willow Creek. But that's really up to @OJenn and @debjameswhite as they put this new challenge together. I know it would take a lot more work to add several more 10-gen worlds. I'd be happy to make gene pools for the worlds that don't have them yet (like Windenburg and San Myshuno), and we could keep the old WC and OS gene pools. But it would still take a massive amount of work to find that many house floorplans :grimace:
Anyway, I love your Greenes!! I love Aiyden's laid-back style, and I think you captured Iris' outdoorsy vibe perfectly. I think my Greenes started with 20k or 22k? I also immediately put them in careers related to their degrees, so they both got signing bonuses & promotion reward items which I sold for more money. But there are no hard-and-fast rules about money cheats in this challenge - some people use them, some don't. I get bored when my sims get too rich, so I'm going extreme no-cheats to the point where my gen 2 heir is going to 'inherit' part of the money gen 1 saved up and have to make do with that. For example, my household funds are sitting at around ~50k right now and there are 2 kids, so my gen 2 heir would get ~25k to build the gen 2 house with if he/she moved out right now.
@Mionax I'm glad you said that because I'm leaning more toward Haven too :smiley:
