Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2

@Mionax - I'm glad you were able to find info on becoming a member for @Wentcrazy 15 posts seems way more doable then 50 :smile: I was kinda surprised to see that Ashton and Alden don't look as alike anymore. In fact it's more like Ashton and Sandy could be twins, and Alden and Savanna lol I think she's my favorite so far too. Myra and Mariam are adorable, and have continued your trend of getting twins with opposite hair colors. I admire your bravery with having all these babies. The genetic part of this challenge has always been my favorite part, but I get overwhelmed with more then 5 sims in a household. So I'm enjoying getting to see all the genetic possibilities in your game :smile:

@Wentcrazy - With so many updates I'm hoping I don't mix them up too :lol: I loved your reasoning for Ashlynn rejecting Silas' hug. I think you're right, she must not have wanted to get sick :wink: I don't really have a career in mind for Fawn anymore. When she was a kid I thought she'd make a good doctor, but now she's so social I feel like she'd better off with something to do with being social. I'll have to look at the careers. If you put your Greene's in the careers that their degrees match they start off at like level 7 or 8 and make really good money from the start. So if by chance they do have kids early on, it shouldn't be too challenging financially lol Is that your Iris in your profile pic!? She looks awesome! omg I'm so excited to see more!

@Kiwicantdie - I hope the virtual stuff goes well too. So far we're off to a bit of a rocky start. My daughter's in middle school and her classes and assignments are going fine. But my son's starting Kindergarten virtually and his teacher hasn't posted any assignments and won't reply to my messages, emails or calls :angry: I'm actually waiting for someone at the school to call me back right now. I'm pretty annoyed, but trying to be patient about it. I'm PMS'ing so it's not going well lol. I'm so relieved to hear the NPC mod is working for you too. I was worried if I linked it for whatever reason it wouldn't work for everyone lol. I'm actually a little conflicted about who I should chose as heir too :grimace: I've always been a bit more attached to Silas, and I really do love his dynamic with his new GF... but I slacked big time on his schoolwork and skills after his Dad died. I'm leaning toward Fawn just because I've been able to micro-mange her more. I'm not set 100% though. I'm thinking about building the next gen house and then deciding who I think "vibes" with it more :lol: Oh an you're right about Iris :bawling: She'd be such a cute Grandma, but I really doubt she'll live that long.

Look at how cute and rustic their house is :love: you literally don't even need dining chairs. Aw Lia! She's wandering around in my game too, but hasn't met my Greene's. I like how social Iris is. Tina's a cute sim, and actually seems to be interested in Aiyden's design concepts lol. Knox :love: :love: :love: He is so in love with Iris, in every dimension apparently :lol: I have to admit I ship them lol. I just couldn't bring myself to have Iris go there, even after Aiyden died. There's definitely some chemistry there so I think Aiyden is justified in his anger for once :lol: I can't believe Aiyden's "apology" led to THIS though :worried: My risky woohoo is at 5% too... I'm dropping it to like 2% when I play again :grimace: At least Iris looked like she letting out some of her stress through knitting. I wanna see knitted baby outfits! I thought Tina's gift was a romantic one at first :joy: I was like this is Knox's time to shine :lol: Swoop in while Aiyden's off having an affair with Tina Tinker lol! omg his pregnancy reaction though lol! If he doesn't show up on your Greene's doorstep and die when his time is over I'll be shocked. The love he has for Iris is real! I totally dig the bug attacks. I think it fits the challenge perfectly too. Ahhhh so the bees are what got Aiyden. I dunno I think it makes more sense that the trash woohoo did him in :lol: The dueling baby bump pics were the cutest. I hope mini Tinker gets to grow up close to the Greene baby. They looked so in love on their Willow Creek retreat :love: :heart: I'll admit it made me feel a little guilty for shipping Iris and Knox :tongue: Smog!!! Ugh I'm so annoyed it only lasted a few hours. There's no way this isn't a bug. Anyway, um, WOW... I really feel for you :grimace: I mean, twins! What a blessing! :lol: But seriously, that is rough. The itty bitty nursery is really cute, but I can see there's not enough room for the both of them. I'm sure you'll figure it out and make it look easy and adorable :heart:

@JordanNicoleJJ - Hahaha that laundry pic is so relatable. Not even the maid can keep up with the piles in my game. Haven's a whole teenage mood during the fire :lol: Eden is not amused lol Haven's so handsome :love: He looks good even just opening the mail. Aw, he got accepted into Foxbury like his Dad :bawling: That's so cute. Silas is still waiting for his acceptance letter... He's been slackin' I dunno if it's coming or not :lol: I was excited to see we're at about the same point in our generations. I was starting to worry I was too far ahead. YA Haven looks great. I don't see much of Iris in him, but at the same time I don't think he's all Aiyden either. I'm diggin' the red, and his hot weather outfit with the hat is my fav. His 2nd cold weather is a close 2nd though. I was kinda bummed to hear you didn't get attached to Eden as much. I'm tellin' you, 1st born sim bias is a thing. I loved seeing all the things she knitted in her room. I really like the way she turned out. I don't know how, but I see more Iris when I look at her. It doesn't make sense, but it's the truth. Snow! :love: Maybe my game's just glitched or something. Your decorations were perfect, and really fit the Greene's vibe, and mine lol. Oh cool! I had no idea you could get collectibles in the holiday crackers. They're so cute! Congrats on completing both of their aspirations. The break dancing Servo was pretty awesome. I see why Suri was so impressed. It's pretty cute that her Mom is also attending college. Haven looked pretty nervous about it though :lol: I love that he proposed on Christmas! :heart: Of course Suri's part of the family. I'm really excited to see what's next for them. AKA which floorplan you go with :lol: I gotta start building soon and I can't decide lol.

@Francisca464 - I think I'm leaning more towards Fawn too. (I totally stole the name from your Fawn from way back when :lol: ) Despite my slight disappointment in how she aged up, I do think she's pretty, and she's rolled great traits. So far anyway. Silas is really chill to play though, and I do really love his new GF so I'm a bit torn. I think he's gonna get rejected from University though :lol: After his Dad died I did a horrible job skilling with him. I loved your mini update! :mrgreen: I'm just so happy to see you post again. Your Iris and Aiyden look so young! Maybe's it's Iris' hair. She looks adorable. @Kiwicantdie will glady trade you for your smog :lol:

@Rhythrin - omg :scream: I'm so so so sorry to hear about your car accident. I'm so glad you're okay :heart: I completely understand why you haven't had time to play. Thank you for popping in for comments :blush: I agree that Fawn seems to take after her father the most. I was hoping for a slightly better blend genetically, but I can't complain too much because she is really pretty, and has good traits. I'm kinda feeling the exact same about Silas and Ashlynn though :grimace: I'm pretty torn about who to choose for heir and it's all because of Silas' new romance.

@EMSimmer30 - Hey! Welcome to the new thread. I checked out your generation 9 house and it looks great! You're so close to completing the challenge, that's awesome :smiley: I've actually already uploaded Fawn as a child with her Mom and Brother, but I could easily upload her as YA if you'd like?

@debjameswhite - With the NPC mod I just placed it. Deleted all the random townies. Placed new households (so there would be sims to fill the world). Then the mod just did it's thing and assigned the jobs to the new townies I placed. It should come pre-programmed to not allow random sims from being made. If not, when you click on a sim the NPC option should be there, and from there you can adjust the settings of the mod. It was actually simpler to navigate the MCC. I'm horrible at explaining things, but I hope that helps a bit. I think there's a help page on the mods site. Anyway, yeah the life essence thing was weird for sure. But like you said, it's what Aiyden would've wanted.
