@Mionax Restarting a challenge because the unforeseen happens is not cheating. Bringing a sim back that dies in a save to that save would be cheating. :smiley: Plus, the fact that somehow your starting sims were bugged in the old game is a perfectly good reason for restarting, in my opinion. I once restarted a challenge (Drifter) after 7 generations simply because toddlers were released and I felt that was going to change everything. I wasn't wrong. It did. Do I still miss that family? .. um. sometimes. I know I "stole" the house I was building for the generation seven and have finished and used it since. Does that count? And, I have to admit, I may have deleted all the "pre-generation" backup saves for that game, but I saved that final family. You know. Just "in case." :grin:
