I have done the teen runaway challenge just when Sims 4 was out, and it was very interesting. This challenge seems very good, even if not for storytelling.
If I was not caught up in a legacy it would be nice to start your challenge! I will have to content myself by reading the blogs you list, for now;
@JoieWilder - Wow this challenge is amazing and exactly the type of thing that's right down my alley. I've never ever played sims 4 before (I'm a Sims 3 lover for years) but I just got sims 4 today and I was having trouble deciding what to do with my first sim and someone suggested looking through the legacy story. I think I might take on yours.. I may do a "Medium" setting (some hard some easy things) some of the hard things appeal to me but some feel too complicated lol hopefully a "Medium" setting is permissible even though it's tweaking it a biiiit I don't tend to do blog write ups.. but I will make a thread and do screencaps and the like. I'll post back here once I get started... I may message you to ask a lot of random questions about how to do this or that in Sims 4 since I'm just going to be beginning to play today. Nervous me wants to play it in sims 3 but I refuse not to be brave so... here we go...
@Beck1590 I am so flattered that you would choose this as your first challenge! I almost always make tweaks to challenges that I play, so feel free to make any tweaks to this one that you like. I am a firm believer that you should make whatever changes you need to have fun. If you don't wan to make a blog or thread, you can even just show some screenshots and story snippets or updates here in this thread, if you want.
@JoieWilder oh you don't even know - this is not only my first game in sims 4 but also my first EVER challenge game. 0.0 I plan to make a thread so I can do screencaps and updates. Probably in the oldest brother's POV. I love the idea that I can do a "Medium" hardness challenge. I'll let you know what ones I take on and what ones I do as easy and you can add it to your post if you want. Kind of like your second post with the "options"
@Beck1590 I believe you're going to love this one. It's very challenging to start!
As a side note, I also feel like I want to try putting more effort into helping the younger sibling achieve her aspiration goals. I feel personally that is what the older sibling would do. She'd want her kid sister to have everything as normal as possible and I know if this were my legacy is be working really hard to get the child aspiration competed. I had just been working so hard to survive, I hadn't put a ton of effort into it.
Social butterfly is tough though because it has to be done off the lot due to the restrictions of no guests on the lot!
@cshaner It's so tough to complete aspirations in this challenge! I don't think any of my sims have completed their aspirations when I was doing this. haha
Oh absolutely and I don't think I even have much time left anyway as I think both Sophie and V are about 4 days from aging up. I have vacation days. Hee hee. Perhaps I'll just skip school one of the last days.
Not much further than you! I only have 3 chapters posted! Chapter 4 will be posted Thursday (9/1/16) but then I'll have a hiatus until Saturday 9/10/16 because I'll be away for the US Labor Day holiday.
Final update until September 10, 2016. I'll be on vacation for the next week.
I've updated my Orphan Challenge: Harkins Family with Chapter 04 - Family
Welcome @Beck1590 to Sims4 and the orphan challenge!
Ive been away so just catching up here tonight @cshaner I am about to read your chapters, I love the pictures already!
I may switch my Orphan's update schedule to Wednesday and Saturday as that will give me a bit more time and space them out a bit more. I'm already publishing my Legacy - The Delaney Family Legacy on Wednesday too, so it will be fine.
As it's Saturday:
I've updated my Orphan Challenge: Harkins Family with Chapter 07: Choices
My Orphan's are BACK! Yay!! I appreciate having the hiatus, it allowed me to catch up and get a bit ahead! The end is closing in on this story folks. I'm so excited to have you all reading! Orphan's will continue their regular schedule of Saturday & Wednesday, though my legacy will remain on Sunday only for the near future.
