@Simasaurus09 Aw, Kat is so cute in your game (she is just so adorable in her singing outfit, too!)! Once Kat gets a bit farther in her career, she’ll be rolling in money. Poor girl is just having a tough time right now.
Oohhh, going after Stiles! I can’t wait to see their baby.
Oh no! She’s had a fire. I’m starting to wonder if Kat just shouldn’t be cooking. My Kat, even at level 4 of cooking, burns the waffles the first time she cooks them every morning she cooks breakfast for her and Madison! Lol
Poor girl needs a message day at the spa and LOTS of beach time!
I’m really loving the makeover for Stiles! He looks so good!
$1,175 bills! O.O I will stop complaining about my Kat and Madison spending their money as fast as they make it now (I should look into that no free taxi mod and no free food from fridge. Sounds fun!).
Love the update! It’s so cool to see Kat living another, completely different life!
Life is too easy for sims! Gotta shake up their world every once in a while. Does Stiles have good genetics? I've never played with him before. Ha! That's funny to learn how poor of a cook she is in your game too. Maybe it would be safe to keep her away from the stove all though I could use the extra opportunities from the cooking skill. I'll link to those other mods once I find them.
Thanks and I'm glad you came up with this idea. It has been really fun! About to check out your blog.
I already did a thousand times, honestly. But that's just because I often forget to let my sims pay the bills. Once I can I let them buy the no bills LTR though, love that one.
I spend way too much time decorating my sims house so I avoid him at all cost.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever had kids with Stiles. But I think they'll have cute kids. (Isn't there a genetic blending mod or something that makes the genes blend better? I might look into that.... wait... @Mikezumi might know. She plays with genetics a lot and I think I recall her mentioning that kind of mod).
I downloaded all but the no free work performance. Mainly cause I don't know how that works and if it makes gaining promotions harder, I can't have that in my Ultimate Sim Challenge. But thanks for all those links. I'm looking forward to having all the others in my game!
@ChelleJo I looked through Google trying to find out more about genetic altering mods but still wasn't sure where to look. I'd love to find out before Kats child. err maybe @igazor knows about mod settings to alter genetics? I'm mostly worried about getting clones of the parents.
The way I understand it is it kind of works similar to Sims 4... All skill requirements for work must be completed before the next promotion. By default, all you need to do is fill the progress bar with a good mood each time even if it's a slow climb without skill. For whatever reason I decided to do without it this time mainly because of normal lifespan all though I may just add it for this challenge after all.
Another mod I use makes pregnancy harder (increased negative moodlets and vomiting paired with a instant vomit mod). Not at my PC atm so this is all memory of what I have. Some really good simple mods out there to make the game that much harder.
Hi there. Don't seem to have the context for being paged up there but NRaas StoryProgression offers Advanced Genetics. It's switched on by default if you have the SP base, SP Extra, and SP Population modules and if you have SP's progression activated.
With all of that in place and Advanced Genetics switched on, the options you can control will show up on NRaas > SP > General Options > Options:Pregnancy.
If you still get an undesired clone of one parent or the other, the offspring can be put into MasterController's Play With Genetics function and the child sim's (of any age) genetics can be re-rolled a few times until you get what looks more like a proper blend.
Does any of this help or am I (not for the first time) answering all the wrong questions here?
@igazor I think you covered what I was thinking. I thought the mod I'd heard about was an Nraas mod. I'll double check to make sure I have all modules installed (pretty sure I do). Thanks!
@igazor Sorry, I kind of awkwardly tagged you here. Thanks for the help!
@ChelleJo Ah, I can't help but see my own kitty when I look at Loki. The girls are climbing that ladder pretty quickly. Kat looks great in her swim outfit. I was going to say she is becoming quite the golfer until I scrolled down. (haha) The celebration is well deserved.
@Simasaurus09 Loki is very special to me, as he's modeled after my real life Loki.
I'm pushing them pretty hard with the careers. Work hard/crunch time everyday, completing any opportunities the get. I'm feeling the pressure of needing to buy three businesses but being no where near having the money for it (and yeah, I added all those mods earlier and now losing even more money. )
The girls had me cracking up when they were golfing. They took turns being bad and good at it. They were swinging nearly in unison, and one would be bad, the other good. Then the next time it was the exact opposite.
Them two were well on their way to becoming bar flies with how much they were out celebrating! Things are certainly changing for the girls these days.
Stiles has been a great sport. He lets Kat practice her routines.
On a morning jog Kat found this uncommon turtle. Feel free to name him!
Maybe not the best idea to purchase a tank if you can't manage to pay bills. The repo man was on his way that very moment. Kat really wants some kind of pet right now so I gave in.
This where Fraps failed me and did not take screenshots. The repo man took the following: shower, couch, bike, TV, chair, rug, plant, lamp, clock, and the clothes line. The best part is Kat stood in the corner making boxing motions at the repo man while he literally cleaned house. Then she ran over and grabbed the turtle fearing he would be taken too.
Stiles learned to NOT poke the raccoon. This town only generates one so you can't blame him for getting excited to see one.
Good news is they paid off the second bill. Around the same amount but Stiles has been busy with the telescope to earn money. He can't even build painting/sculpting skill right now because there is no money and we aren't allowed to build skill off the lot.
@Chellejo Is that a zero slider sim with Kat? Kitty is adorable! I love cats and my last cat was ginger
Stiles can make some nice looking kids - he actually looks good as a female - but since genes come from two sims unless they are clones it's always a mystery how they will turn out until they come
I see Igazor filled you in on the mods needed for genetics. That's pretty much my set-up too.
@Simasaurus09 Wow the repo man cleaned her out! Glad he didn't get the turtle! LOL at Stiles and the raccoon
@Simasaurus09 How much is the turtle worth? If a lot, you could have sold it and bought a cheaper turtle in place. More money.
Nice parts both! And it's indeed really funny how Kat (chellejo) and Madison are just friends immediately. I had it too though, not long ago. My sim getting to know Morgana Wolff, a few simdzys later they were married (and Morgana divorced from Thornton) like they just had to be together.
@Simasaurus09 Stiles seems like he’s going to be a good husband for Kat. Seriously, the only name that keeps popping in my head for your turtle is Spike Lee…. O.O feel free not to use it. LOL
Cheese and Rice, the repo man cleaned Kat out! I’m glad they could pay the second bill, though!
@Mikezumi I think he is a zero slider sim. I really am not that great at making sims, male sims I'm even worse. So my sims usually end up hooking up with and having babies with regular townies. Yep, Igazor got me squared away. I had all the other modules, but SP Extra, but I have that one now, too.
@ChelleJo I know @GaiaHypothesis has adskeehjel male sims.... ...They're downloadable on her tumblr. Also cc and slider free. Maybe you can put some of them randomly into the town and see what happens?
Spread over whole tumblr, there are also a lot of other hotties of course. I don't know if it's allowed, but if you just put them into the town and let them become a townie I guess it doesn't care. I mean, EVERYTHING is better than a pudding face
Nice part! Yes, they're indeed career girls. It brings money in of course.
@GITTE2001 Thank you! Hopefully she'll come share her link to her tumblr. I found her on the sims 3 gallery but her sims look to have cc skin on there.
Once I have my 3 kids for this generational goal, I'll put them on here and have a vote for next heir. Then we might need some woman instead, but I do have a couple woman in my CAS bin that I can use.
There are also women and in general, there are a lot of sims downloadable on various tumblrs. I have some old children of legacy spare left somewhere, particularly women and they all look acceptable with quite interesting genetics (did she say about decendants of her own sims) but also some not-ugly male sims, and totally cc-free.
@GITTE2001 Thanks for that link. She has some very good looking sims! I've yet to learn the masters of tumblr. It's a bit confusing how to navigate that site. I've just got the hang of twitter. Seems to me, when I learn something, it then becomes out of date.

I'm quite active on tumblr and can easily direct you to some nice simblrs. So, if you have interest it's a bit confusing at the beginnign but you'll find more and more amazing simblrs along the way.
You can PM me some simblrs (what is a simblr?) and I'll look them over. I generally click on the follow button on someone's tumblr, but to be honest, I have no clue what that really does or how to find their site/tumblr again.
