I want all the tea and the drama...

Hardest was losing Sugar...

Worst goes back to early sims2 days.. I suppose I took the ladder out from pool.. classical thing. 

Hardest thing- A legacy. I've tried several times but I'm never gotten further than 4 generations. I play on long lifespan though and fully play out each generations so I guess I'm not really trying as hard as I could.

Worse thing- After the birth of his child this random elderly sim came to help out. My sim romanced her and they woohood until she died 🫣

Ellupelluelluaw that is sad! Love the classic demise of your Sims 😂

meeshwoodLegacies are so hard! I've only ever completed one and I'm on Gen 8 of another hoping that by writing a story for it I'll force myself to finish it 😂 oh my goodness that escalated so quickly, that poor unsuspecting elderly Sim! 😂😂

Hardest thing- Staging a wedding with 25 guests, plus the bride and groom for a SimLit story. I used MCCC to increase the max amount of sims on a lot and in a household. I put all 27 sims in the same household so I could control them and keep them focused on the ceremony. I had my hands full.😆 But it was a lovely wedding…and I will never do that again. 😎

Worst thing- I don’t know if it really counts but I did try to kill a sim with the walled up in an empty room trick. They were getting close to dying and broke the fourth wall with a really heartbreaking look. I let them out. My sims do lead pretty easy lives. I’m a benevolent goddess. 😁

Back in S3 I had made a whole series (machinima) of The Walking Dead (fanfiction spin off), put days - weeks - months into that project! I had great feedback on it until YouTube terminated my account for violating code of conduct or some nonsense. The thing too was that I made a lot of the cc that was in each episode, poses and some animations, etc. I built and staged all the sets for it. The whole thing took a lot of acute focus and patience, and then to lose it when YouTube shut my account down really sucked. This all happened years ago now, and I still don't have the energy to start a project like that again.

Otherwise, I dunno, I don't gameplay much really. I find more enjoyment from creating and building. I think the hardest thing for me with the Sims is not pulling  my hair out at how clunky CAS is... lol. Yes, I'm petty! Why can't all the layers of face details put on with the first outfit carry over to the other outfits? UGHHH. Haha. Biggest pain and challenge :P 

Hardest thing: I tried to stage a political meeting. I was able to get the representatives to make speeches, but most of their intended audience wound up in the break room getting coffee. Can’t blame them. Nothing worse than a filibuster.

Worst thing: I modded a spellcaster to be able to use deadly spells. To try them out, I created an expendable evil rival, then set them against each other. When it got intense, we used one of the deadly spells on the evil one. It worked, but my spellcaster promptly sat down on the ground and bawled his eyes out. It was so tragic I had to bargain with Grim to get the evil one back. She’s now running a Cowplant ranch in Windenburg.

I think the hardest household play goal I made myself was when the Discover University pack came out. I made a duplex and all sims on the lot were housed in one or the other side of the duplex with strategic door locking. My friend, PugLove888, made two young adult males (one for my sim to aim to marry) and female for this plan, and I also used EuphorialQueen's Reese Cheung. These four sims were my target roommates for this family (three at a time for most of the playthrough). 
My goals were:

• have a butler
• have three roommates 
• build, test, and live with a Servo bot
• have my young adult sim develop a relationship with one particular of the roommates and marry him
• have the young adult, her new hubby, and her two parents all go to University with great grades in honors programs and graduate with honors
• have all of them go to full time classes, live at home (and I think they all worked either part-time or full-time jobs at the same time)
• have the dad in the household and the new hubby of his daughter major in robotics (they also built the servo together at home)
• have the daughter and her hubby have a child... and this child was a toddler through the entirety of the toddler needs decay bug that made raising it to a reasonable level of skills and happy one of the hardest things I've done in game in-and-of itself (I never once did a 'fill needs' cheat or something like that with her, as far as I remember, though I did have to do the 'reset' one a number of times on the roommates, and maybe some on the toddler(?) when they froze up)
• test the roommates functions (the feature was brand new with the pack), how to keep them happy, how to develop relationships with them, etc., and whether it was possible to have a specific sim for the roommate (as in all three of mine were sims I added into the world)
• all of my sims always have autonomy on
• I think the dad was even abducted by aliens at least once in this playthrough, as he was a Space Ranger and that happened to him more than anyone in my game. I think I finally put one of those satellite dishes on the roof. Oy vey! 
• I think I had a dog in the household at the beginning of this progress, also, but he moved out to make way for others as the story progressed.

Never have I ever ridden the pause button and queued so heavily in my game. I learned a ton about how the college classes worked for those living at home and commuting, about roommates, & Servo... and we all made it to the other side. They all graduated with honors, the daughter fell in love with and married the roommate as intended (as I mentioned above), so he joined the household. I then added Reese as the third roommate. At one point I decided to have the other two roommates get married, so I had them join the household (maybe that's when the dog moved out?)

My plug for butlers...
...And never has one of my butlers ever so heavily earned his pay. If he wasn't repairing the Servo, he was tending the garden, picking up after everyone, cleaning, socializing with kids and pets, cooking, and just plain being busy nearly continually with a great attitude.

Builds are usually the hardest thing for me to do, especially big lots. I tend to throw my hands up and leave builds for a few days before coming back to it. I struggle a lot with community lots and mansions. 

As for the WORST thing I did, it would have been in The Sims 2. It's a tie between the dystopian world I made, or the time I made this one family. The family consisted of Nami and Sanji from One Piece, and their 2 kids. One daughter was SUPER ugly and I hated looking at her, so I used moveobjects to hide her under the house. So she was trapped under the house's foundation while my sims and their GOOD child lived a good life, ignoring the toddler's cries below them. But because that stupid crawl space baby kept crying, eventually a social worker came and took both children away. So my sims' happy life was ruined forever.

Karamazov123I get that with builds, I’m such a Sims 3 builder I absolutely can’t get to grips with the sims 4 😂 

oh my goodness you didn’t hold back on that story (although now I want to hear about this dystopia??) that poor child!! 😂😂😂 somehow I thought you meant like a teenager and that was so much worse 😂🙈 

SheriGRWell you definitely weren’t playing in easy mode! I can’t believe you managed it with nobody dying 😂 thank goodness for the butler!

 cyncie ok firstly kudos for trying to stage anything with Sims, they’re slippery ones at the best. 
Second I am literally laughing out loud to myself a COW PLANT RANCH 😂 I’m sorry but this is the best thread I could have ever created these stories are brilliant 😂

DaniRose2143oh wow! Do you have any pictures of the wedding?? I find it hard enough for Evergreen when there’s maybe 10 or so 😂 

Well it wasn’t very nice of you to put them in a room without doors but I’m glad you saw the error of your ways 😉😂

JellysimwichOh my gosh I think I know the project you’re talking about! I never liked things with zombies in so didn’t watch the show or the machinima but I’m sure I heard about it and saw it around online, that’s an amazing piece of work I’m so sorry YouTube did that! I completely see how that wouldn’t motivate you to do it again. I’m holding onto all video files for dear life in case YouTube does something 😂 

nope not petty at all I am right there with you! CAS is so counter intuitive, sometimes my Sim has the same hair and make up for their whole life please don’t make me assign it to individual outfits 😂
