Ugh, I'm late, but couldn't be helped. Blizzard of doom is upon us! o.O I shouldn't have waited so long to try uploading my daily post pic, our power keeps going out. Finally got it though! I'll try to get comments/replies posted before it goes out again. Stay safe and warm everyone in the path of Elliot! Hope y'all had a fantastic day!

Pax got struck by lightning...
and promptly fell into the mud...
but I think he actually kind of enjoyed it.
I gave Carol an updated look

Not sure if I'll continue with Cale since there is only two days left in the month. He's already finished the aspiration anyway. I had plans to age up Colt, get him with Donna and get Cale & Marley married with a reception afterward. However, to be honest, I'm thinking about just leaving them where I left off. At least for now. I'll finish their story with those two things at some point and post it here. I feel bad about it, but I just don't have the desire to play in that save right now. I don't know why, I love Cale and his family. But there it is. I hope y'all understand.
Comments/replies coming up next! I hope y'all had a great day/night!
We can actually collect a Seagull feather and even have it framed on a wall. However, not unless you have Cats & Dogs and your pet fights a bird to get it. hehe No, I just put it all in the fridge. Perhaps it'll still be good by the time I get around to getting them married and having a party. Most of it would make good wedding reception food I would imagine. If it's still good by then. hehe
Thanks! Yep, Cale is all finished for 2022.
I put Donna in the save. She's a Sim I used to playtest the MWS pack in Tartosa. She's just been chillin' since then waiting for her chance to shine.
Thanks for noticing the plane flying overhead. I wondered if anyone would notice it. hehe
hehe Yeah, it was quite awkward for both of them having 'the talk.'
I actually DO have one with the sun in the arch. I took way too many shots as the sun was rising, I always take way too many screenshots. hehe
I took a succession of shots as it rose. This one is my favorite next to the one I posted previously.
I don't think Donna had a clue he was a vampire until he sped away in super speed. That's the only way she knew.
Yeah, I do actually have pics of them in front of and inside the waterfall, just didn't show them.
Yep, very, very similar to what we had here in Michigan. We're kind of used to it most of the time here, but sometimes (most times) the Lake Effect makes any storms even worse. Especially if you live by any of the Great Lakes.
You know what happened by now and why I didn't get to come back and finish my post for that day. I don't think there will be a big wedding and party, at least not now. At some point though I will them get married and have a party.
@SoulGal7
Since everyone else seems to have moved on already, I guess it's time to wrap things up for this year's challenge. I do want to thank @Karababy52 for hosting this challenge, as I had a lot of fun with it, but I will not be participating in the next one, as I have some other saves and games I'd like to focus on.
So without further ado, I'd like to share Adam's accomplishments over the last year for those who are interested.

Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I want to Thank You so much for participating this year. I may not have commented much, but I read every post for Adam and his family and have thoroughly enjoyed their adventures. Congratulations and kudos to you for what you've accomplished with Adam!
Thank you for posting his ending stats. It's cool how by the end of the year, our challenge Sims end up somewhat Super Sims eh? I'm looking forward to seeing/reading your highlights post tomorrow. Of course I totally understand about not doing the challenge next year, your reasons are the same as my own.
Happy New Year to you and everyone who participated in the challenge this year, along with those who read our stories! You're all rock stars! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for joining in on the fun!
Thank you, but I must admit that I never aged Adam or Kaori up to elder status.
They're both still adults, just with white hair because I kind of can't stand how elders look or act in this game, so I fudged it a little...
Anyways, thanks for the kind words and for coming up with this fun challenge. Cale's story was a lot of fun to read, and while I also rarely commented, I did enjoy following his adventures too.

I'm so glad I decided to share my little spur of the moment idea on NYE 2020. I didn't think anyone would want to try it themselves, it makes me smile and warms my heart I was wrong. These last two years have been the most fun I've ever had in TS4. I learned so much more about the game than I would've otherwise, made some lifelong friends and discovered the world of CC & Mods along the way as well. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride, it's been a wonderful experience I will never forget. Reading that, I sound like I'll never do it again, but that's not the case, I plan to do it again in 2024, if, God willing, I'm still here.
Happy New Year from Oona!

December 31: Day 365 - Challenge Stats for Dylan Healy & A Surprise
Aspirations Completed:
I am only showing the werewolf portion, and listing all others because it takes too many screenshots.
For the Cure Seeker, he had found the cure in Greg's diary, as did Morgan, and he had collected all the wolfsbane. He had 2 of the 3 moonpetal flowers required. He would have collected the last moonpetal flower at the next full moon on Saturday, but I won't be playing him that far.
Werewolf Initiate
WindFang Renegade
Leader of the Pack
Friend of the World
Freelance Botanist
The Curator
Serial Romantic
Mt. Komorebi Sightseer
Renaissance Sim
Academic
Chief of Mischief
Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Bodybuilder
Traits:
Skills:
When he got to Strangerville, I was going to choose his job for him. But I did it now, so that he completes the Academic Aspiration.
And this is Dylan in his covert ops uniform. "Men in Black" lol
And now for the surprise! Um...yeah...Dylan was in a werewolf brawl and was summoned home because...
Morgan went into labor...
The name Minsi means “Wolf Leader”. Morgan is feeding Minsi.
The name Marrok is an Arthurian Legend baby name (King Arthur & The Roundtable legend), which means "A knight thought to be a werewolf." A nice shot of Dylan and his son, Marrok.
And how they look aged up: Yes, Minsi definitely has the Dormant Wolf and the Greater Wolf Blood traits.
Where did Minsi get that hair color?
And going into CAS, it definitely shows Marrok as a werewolf. I had to check because his trait was just Charmer. The game gave him red hair and his eye color is the same as Dylan's.
And so is Minsi, although she is a dormant werewolf. She has green eyes, just like Morgan.
And how they look as children. This is how the game assigned them and they look good.
And how they look as teens: They definitely look a lot like Dylan.
A happy family together. Farewell and Happy New Year from Dylan Healy and family.
OK, so this ended up taking way longer than I thought it would. There were A LOT of screenshots to sort through, lol.

...
Soooooo... I had plans to finish this. But then I didn't play TS4 for almost 4 weeks, until earlier today, and even then that was just to finish up some aspirations I wanted Aaron to do and now... well, nothing. I don't have the motivation to keep playing.
I also said I would be joining in for 2023 with a new teen. I was confident about that at the time, but now I'm not so sure. However, I do just want to do a post for Aaron now to wrap everything up, and share some fun bits and pieces that I played in November and early December, which would have all been in proper updates. I mean, should have all been in proper updates, last month. Oops.
So without further ado. It's very picture heavy, sorry!
Winter fun
A New Year Celebration (see that's a bit better timing haha)
Like Adam, who arrived and yelled at Yoshi for no reason...
DJ, who also arrived and yelled at Yoshi for no reason... (and Hunter is laughing about it! o.O )
Ricky, who is still in beast form *rolls eyes*
Here are Adam, Ricky, Aster, Elle and Robin
Robin's fiancee, Melissa.
Inside, we have Atticus, Blue, DJ, Adonis, Hunter and Cale.
And Atticus made a new friend.
Aaron got Crumplebottom'd while on a date with Hunter and I thought it was the funniest thing
Atticus and Phoebe made a teen club (just like Aaron did
Romance Festival
But, another romance was also blossoming...
New skills were learned.
An urn was returned.
(Yup, that's the urn of the vampire that Aaron watched die from the sun in Moonwood Mill. Regan is Morwenna's niece and her only family member that actually has a house lol so I decided the urn should go to her)
Also have these pics of Aaron with Regan's new kitten haha
Finally, Geekcon.
And with that...
And just to finish up, the other aspirations Aaron completed when I played today (and made the decision to end his story)
And their father...
Final Traits
Final Skills
And A Little Extra...
(I know I used one or maybe both of these lol)
And in that save... I was morbidly curious so...
...I allowed this to happen.
I did say ages ago that I'd never let Aaron and Hunter have biological children together, but I made an exception just this once (besides, this was the result of 5% risky
A baby boy was born! His name is Julian Winterson
And honestly he is way more handsome than I ever expected him to be!
The game decided he should have heterochromia when he aged up to toddler so I just ran with it.
~~~
I'd ordinarily do replies here but I'm way too tired right now haha. I do really appreciate your comments though, of course!
Although I do want to say something about Morwenna: I'm pretty sure she's sad because she was just standing at her own grave, mourning herself
He did have level 10! I think it was just a really weird glitch, because he was trying to repair an electronic (I think it was a TV) outside, and the game though it was raining (it wasn't) so it kept breaking as he repaired it and he got fried o.O
~~~
Dec 8: Gotta love that Cale proposed in his sweatpants
I have a big stupid smile on my face just seeing how happy Cale is!
Congrats to these two, but we all knew it was inevitable
And that final pic of the crescent moon is so perfect
Kava Party part 1 (Dec 9):
Haha Adam looks a bit apprehensive about his kava in this one
Oh good grief, hello me. Yeah, I think she's just bored, but I mean I've definitely looked like that after a few drinks HAHA
I think a few updates ago CJ showed up without his beard and body hair, and in this update he still doesn't have it o.O Weird! Oh no! Ah well, she definitely can't compete with that smoking hot mermaid that Colt meets in the future so this doesn't bother me
Dang, now I want apple pie!
Dec 12: Congrats to you and Cale for finishing Beach Life! And (essentially) the challenge overall too!
I don't have many more comments for specific updates, but of course Donna is gorgeous, as are all of your sims, and like I said before my simself definitely can NOT compete with her LOL. Loving that gradient in her hair, it's so perfect for a mermaid!
@RememberJoy
It's been great reading Adam's story, with all its twists and turns and your hilarious commentary, and it was really fun revisiting each month with your highlight collages for December 31st and remembering just how it all started.
I also have to say that Pax's partner Cora is absolutely beautiful! He's a lucky guy
Very sad to see Kitty and Kipper pass on though
@Ellupelluellu
Look at those handsome boys!
"Do I have time to get my groceries from store??"
Of course, woohoo is top priority
~~~
Ah, finishing up with Oona I see. I did download her and Sean so I can put them in my OMOWOY save if I join next year
Great shots of Oona in the Magic Realm, especially love the daily pic for Day 40!
Also Jon and Oona both look great in pink
Day 43: Aww, poor Bob having to go to the vet lol. But it's his own fault really
@SoulGal7
Ooh, I love the name Marrock, I kinda want to steal it
They both look great!
Is Dylan's hair the black/grey colour? If so, the game probably tried to give that swatch to Minsi, but couldn't since it isn't an option for toddler sims. If that's not the case, then I have no idea haha.
@LegacySims2017
~~~
Oct 30: Congrats Cale for besting Adam! Poor Adam though - Cale defeated Adam in a magic duel in my game when they were both spellcasters in March
Oh, and... (even though it's already the 2nd where I am...)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!
This has been a wonderful challenge and journey to go on with all of you, and good luck to anyone participating in 2023!
