Schedules

I have to say, yes. For instance any time I restart my Erik Cantrell, such as the Flashback save I'm currently working on, I try to get his fame leveled up as soon as possible, which ultimately gets in the way of him receiving his first Accolade for Best Song, while still a Rising Star. So, I end up hurting my own cause. LOL He was first nominated as that Notable Newcomer. He became a Rising Star, quickly, too. It's now Friday in my game, of that very first week, and he's a B-Lister. Two more stars and he's reached the top. While I love that he rises quickly, again, I thought him winning (which he hasn't yet) would be a really cool thing while he's at the lower levels of fame. Oh, well. The Main Save he became a Global Superstar before he graduated from HS, in just ten Sim days. Since this is simply a flashback version, I feel compelled to keep with my own Head-canon. :open_mouth: I'll see how it goes.

In the Main Save for Erik, he's up to eighteen Best Song Accolades. He's winning them weekly. So far, no break in the pattern. Yay. He earns one, then turns right around and licenses the next song(s) until it gets a nomination. He's currently on a roll.

The Flashback save exists so I can take Erik through his high school years. I can't even begin to think of going through that experience for the first time with any other Sim. I did the same for the MWS pack.

When (and it's been a very long time) I play any other household, I just let the game play dictate where the story is going for the most part. I do rule my Uni Students with an iron fist, however. Especially when Erik is among them. He must get all of his work done, ahead of the weekend, so he can go to the Accolades Show without worrying about staying up all night to stay even with his classes. He even packages three albums to release one per Term so he stays relevant, before he takes off for Uni.
