@Faoiltearna Cool, I'll upload my Sims for this challenge when it's completed since the consensus seems to lean toward Sims with a few skills under their belt. I intended to upload their house too, but I forgot to save it in it's original state. o.O I guess I could recreate it since I have pics of what it looked like at the beginning? Hmm...I'll think about it.
@LegacySims2017 Percy & Oreo look like so much fun to play! I've had thoughts of hooking up Aubree and Zack too, but I think I'll wait until the challenge is completed. They're good friends right now and have flirted a bit, but no pink bar as of yet.
Even though I've only published one chapter of any kind of SimLit in the past, I understand what you mean about having fun just playing without the added stress of publishing a story for your gameplay. I think that's the very reason I never went any farther with mine. I love writing, telling stories, etc. But there's a lot of work and commitment involved.
I truly admire those that do regularly publish stories, I've decided it's just not for me. At least right now, I just want to have fun with my Sims. I might change my mind at some point. *shrugs* I do enjoy sharing a few screenshots though now and then. :)
@Hermitgirl Yay! Congratulations on finishing the challenge! Glad to hear you're thinking about doing it again. I am definitely going to do this again too, only make it a bit harder for them next time. It seems too easy with my current Sims with the fully equipped house and traits they were given.
In my challenge gameplay, Week Two has just finished and we're about to start Week Three in the first day of Fall. Here's Aubree and Zack's stats at the end of Week Two with Zack as the controlled Sim:
Zack
Level 5 in the Body Builder career, promoted to Personal Trainer. I'm regretting not taking the other promotion choice though since he now has to mentor Sims every day and the next week is Aubree's turn to be controlled. I'm wondering if I send Aubree to the gym and have Zack tag along if he'll autonomously start mentoring Sims there. Or maybe mentoring is an option for club members to do? I'll have to look into both of those things to see if they'll work or his career advancement is most likely just going to tank this week. *sigh*
He's 46% away from Level 10 in the Fitness skill which will fulfill his aspiration and also the one skill at Level 10 requirement for the challenge. He autonomously works out all the time though, so I see this happening easily even though he won't be controlled.
Other Skills: Charisma - 4, Cooking & Dancing - 3, Fishing & Video Gaming - 2, Comedy - 1
Aubree
Level 6 in the Painter career, promoted to Master of the Real. One masterpiece away from completing her aspiration. Skills: Painting - 10 (Yay!), Cooking - 3, Fishing - 2, Charisma, Fitness, Comedy & Writing - 1.
She painted 4 masterpieces while uncontrolled and several other paintings for a total value after all were sold of 15,065 simoleons! Go Aubree! It was so frustrating not being able to sell them because I went a bit overboard in remodeling their house and updating objects. They had a couple hundred after all was said and done left in household funds. Which normally wouldn't have been a big deal, except I forgot about the bills due on Monday which ended up being 702 simoleons. By that time they were down to only 20 simoleons too because Aubree kept using their funds to paint. o.O
I figured Zack would bring home enough to pay for the bills since he was due for a promotion. Or so I thought. I neglected to notice he needed to be at level 2 in charisma to get promoted. Gah! I sent them fishing though on the pier in Magnolia Promenade and they managed to fish up a couple cowberries, a dragonfruit and a few other valuable fish which was enough to pay the bills with a little leftover. Whew! lol
I put a few screenshots in the spoiler of different 'events' that happened during Week Two, one of which could've been deadly. :o
Happy Simming until next time! <3
EDIT: Added one more screenshot in the spoiler I forgot to include. Opps!

Here's Zack looking quite pleased with himself. Why?
https://i.imgur.com/sEGMrfp.png
Because I had to wake him up from sleeping to put out a fire that Aubree started when she tried to cook herself some lunch. She along with the stove, dishwasher, stove vent and a counter were going up in flames. I thought this was going to be the end of my challenge, but Zack saved the day! \0/ Where is Aubree now?
https://i.imgur.com/vqkGLSt.png
She ran outside in a panic AFTER he'd put her and the objects out. Silly girl. lol
https://i.imgur.com/PPxuFaT.png
I had Zack make a group meal of Garden Salad so perhaps Aubree wouldn't try to cook again before he went back to bed. (look at that six-pack he's got now! Hubba Hubba!)
https://i.imgur.com/ZCAeNAp.png
Meanwhile, Aubree came back inside and decided to take a bath, a bubble bath to be precise. Ever since I upgraded their showers for a tub/shower combo, she ALWAYS prefers taking a bath over a shower now.
https://i.imgur.com/9fUuxZX.png
One thing that bugs me, I don't know if it's a glitch or what, but every single time either one of them comes home from work while uncontrolled, they just stand around on the edge of the lot for at least an hour before going inside. Why? Aubree looks a bit angry too, but I know why. I got a pop-up while she was at work and I made the wrong choice so her performance took a medium loss hit. Sorry Aubree...

After Zack was promoted to Personal Trainer with a daily work task of mentoring Sims, it just happened to be Sunday when I could control both of them. So, I unlocked Zack's door and had Aubree go over to his side to use the treadmill so he could mentor her. I have a feeling she's going to be the only Sim he gets to mentor until I can control him again, but we'll see...

Lastly, here's a couple screenshots of Zack in new work clothes. He looks so cute in the cheerleader outfit eh? And my jaw dropped when I saw his Personal Trainer outfit. Holy Simoly, he is SO ripped now! I hope he uses the treadmill more than the weight machine this week. lol
