I'm going to reply to your posts here first, 'cause I can't wait to play and start this new challenge too <3 forgive me if I miss anything, it's just... that there's a tsunami of posts everywhere :joy: I'm so happy to see you all still here and very active (and well, of course)! Sorry if it sounds like I'm rushing to jump into the game, but... I'm rushing to jump into the game :sweat_smile: :joy: I promise I'll be much more thorough in the future!
@OJenn you had such a great idea with starting volume 2 of the challenge! At first, I found it a bit confusing 'cause it just made more sense to me having everything Rebuild in one thread only, but I noticed that others have decided to join in due to the thread being new, so that's awesome! Also, you did such a good job with the founding couples! <3 ... yes, I'm going to pick the Greene too, not because I'm lazy but because I want to join the fun you're all having with these two :joy: can you even blame me lol? I'll have to ask, tho: can't we just use the in-game randomizer for the traits while the sim grows up? Or do we have to randomize all the traits with the tool you linked as soon as they're born? I'm not really sure what's going on with the lots and how we'll have to rebuild them, but I guess I'll have to re-read the rules a few more times. I missed reading your posts and looking at your lovely pics. You're always able to take such gorgeous pics and edit them beautifully! I love how you furnished the house. The pics of the renovated neighborhood also looked amazing! I'll be playing with this EP for the first time today and I can't wait to see it being renovated in game <3 I can't believe you got the twins curse even with this household :joy: everybody else was having adorable little baby boys with the Greene, but you had to have twins lol. They're gorgeous, of course, even now that they've aged up to kids <3 the toilet-fire left me speechless, I swear. I have to jump into the game asap to see it with my own eyes! :joy:
@Heckstress17 life is so unfair :joy: I feel like every time you come back I go on a hiatus and when I come back you're the one disappearing in a few weeks. Please don't disappear now, it would just confirm this theory of mine :joy: ... man, I missed looking at your beautifully decorated houses :love: the colors are always so vibrant and all the clutter/furniture looks so nicely placed! I'm legit envious of your skills :joy: and the gameplay too! Of all the posts in this thread, I loved how yours seem to be the only one featuring a foreverangry!Aiyden. Poor thing, he was constantly in such a bad mood lol. Not going to lie, for a little while I even shipped Iris and Knox :smirk: he looked so chill compared to Aiyden, and such a good babysitter too. BUT the times when Aiyden wasn't pissed at something, him and Iris definitely looked super cute together. I especially loved seeing them on a date back in Willow Creek (that restaurant!!). The renovated neighborhood looked amazing when it started going green <3 (I can't wait to see it happen in my game, I've yet to start playing with this EP!). It's kinda sad that there are no collectibles over there, though. But hey, I got to see your beautiful Iris in many different scenarios, so there's that :tongue: -they turned into adults so fast! The moment Iris blew the candles on her cake I knew that there was a baby coming - and of course it had to be a boy! :joy: I love how all the kids everyone's had in game look so similar! They really do look like twins from parallel universes lol. I'm also glad you didn't get a lizard toddler :joy: with Iris and Aiyden genes I doubt that would ever happen, but hey, I've yet to play them myself so... I guess we'll see *crosses fingers*. Silas was such a cutie, but Fawn surpassed all expectations: she's not only super cute, she's also such a rare genetic mix considered all the kiddos that Iris and Aiyden had across save files! She truly is the rarest of unicorns! My god, the last update was such a rollercoaster of emotions and it was so tragic too, but... but I really want to see Fawn age up already :bawling: :joy: I really can't wait to see how gorgeous she is as a teen!
@JordanNicoleJJ hiii <3 I hope you've been doing ok! I missed posting and reading your posts, but I just couldn't log in and waste any minute for this online exam session :cry: ... if I failed any exam or got bad grades, I was going to lose my scholarship. But I did it, so now I'm back here and I can enjoy the game! <3 You did such a good job with the makeover of the Greene! I'm definitely going to pick them too as soon as I start the challenge :mrgreen: I'm dying just by looking at all the gorgeous outfits you gave Iris and Aiyden, I would never be able to pull off something like this in game! I'm way too lazy lol. Man, I missed your storytelling. I've yet to go back in the other thread and read what I missed out with your sims, but I'm already having a blast here with your version of the Greene! I've always loved how much you get into storytelling. The first few days in Port Promise looked amazing with all that smog in the air (weird, I know, I just love having smog in game but not in real life :joy: ) I also wasn't' expecting a baby so soon into your updates but hey, I'm definitely not complaining! Maybe it's just me, but I totally feel like every founder ever gets to be eaten by a cowplant (or set on fire by the stove lol)... poor Aiyden, it looked like such a close call! Haven was such a cutie both as a baby and then as a toddler! But he did look like a handful despite his charming little face. Eden was beyond adorable! At first she looked like a tiny Haven clone, but when she grew up she really grew into her own features! Also, thanks for the tips on the inheritable freckles mod, I've already downloaded that as I type :joy:
@Mionax hi! <3 what a lovely makeover you gave Iris! I adore that hairstyle on her! The first few pics of Aiyden and the smog look amazing. I'll be playing with that pack for the first time today and I can't wait to experience it! I love the idea of a freelancer career for him. Poor Iris and her horrible cooking skills :joy: ... it takes a lot to mess up a salad! :joy: I loved the way you furnished the house! The landscape also fits so well the vibe of the neighborhood. Giovanni looked soooo adorable! Just by looking at everyone's posts, it truly seems like all the kiddos across save files are each other's twinsies :joy: and I love it! Nylah almost jumped out from nowhere, but she too looked super cute! I can't wait to see them grow up!
@debjameswhite hiiii <3 I've missed you! I can't wait to jump into the old thread and read all your posts <3 I'm sure that I've missed a lot while I was gone. I hope you're doing ok! I've read that recently you lost your pets and I'm so sorry about that... I've gone through that so many times in the past years, so I totally feel you. Sometimes the only thing we can do is love them and be by their side till the end. I wish I could cheer you up in some way. Just know that my virtual shoulder is here for you whenever you feel down <3. On brighter notes, I'm so ready to come back and play/post a lot. My exam session has dragged for way too long due to the virus, so I missed out on the best months for chilling out and playing games. Tbh I loved that you picked a different founding couple, it was definitely nice to see something different in here. I'll be totally playing the Greene too, though :mrgreen: I just can't help it. BUT I reeeeally can't wait to play the Emerson too! I'll have to play 24/7 to get there, but I promise I'll get there! :joy: Lia and Jay's story started out wild from the very beginning! I couldn't almost believe that she was already pregnant with a baby girl! Heath collapsed on the ground also gave me a slight heart attack. My god, the plot thickened soooo fast, and it was so intriguing! Those two scary men... I mean, they would have been much scarier if they didn't go right after the cake :joy: have I already told you how much I love your storytelling? It's so intriguing! I also enjoyed Heath both with his shirt off and with the disguise on if you know what I mean :smirk: when Heath and Lia found each other years later, he looked truly irresistible (you're way too good at making males sims, I swear :joy: teach me please!!). I'm so happy to see that now they've started a new chapter of their life together!
@Rhythrin I'm excited that you started the challenge too! <3 I can't wait to start too!
@Rawla it's nice to see you too in here! <3 the pics looked amazing with all that smog in the air! And of course, the founders had to almost set the whole house on fire :joy: they wouldn't be founders otherwise!
