    Guys I might have to end the challenge :( or at least give it over to someone else. I really don't have the time anymore to manage it and with my fall semester starting soon you may see less and less of me. I haven't gotten much of a chance to even play with my family. So....who wants to"take over" the challenge?

    P.S You can "nominate people" if you'd like

    Aw :( I totally understand where you're coming from. I don't get much free time anymore either. I hope someone can take over the challenge and keep it going and that you'll be able to stop in from time to time.

    octojenn: Aww I'm sorry to hear that! The first thing that came to mind was how would the person be able to edit the first page with all the generations unless we just end with generation 16. I don't know, those are just my thoughts but I'll wait for everyone else to chime in. As far as voting for someone, I'd say amadazulsim.

    I'd also vote for amadazulsim. That is if she'd want to take it over. As far as how to update the main page I think we'd need to make a new thread, and link to it in the original post. You know something like Ebony&Ivory part 2 and we could continue on from there???

    I am flattered that you guys voted for me. I think I would be able to take over if needed.
    Jenn I am saddened that you won't be around as much. :cry:
    Do you think we should start over with a new Ebony and Ivory or should we continue from here? I just need some ideas on what you guys would like to do.
    Jenn please say that you will at least come by and lurk whatever we decide.

    Yeah that was I was thinking like "Ebony & Ivory cont." or something but that's totally up to her. Looks like the majority (all 5 of us lol) have spoken. I was gonna say Amada or Sapphire :) Hope to hear from Amada!

    Lol of course I will still lurk!!!! I just wont have much time to keep things in order. I kinda like the idea of a new Ebony and Ivory sounds like fun. You mean like starting with the original founders and finding new mates for each gen? If so that totally up to your, you've adopted the challenge now :wink:

    EDIT: I would suggest a totally diff set of founders but the same names Ebony and Ivory. Maybe this time Ebony could be a guy and Ivory a woman ;) like a spin off lol

    That is such a good idea. I just have one request. I would like you to choose one of your favorite family members that we can post as the first female or male mate. :)

    edit Just wanted to know if we want to do cc free?
    I will get started over the weekend.

    Aw! I love the idea of a whole new Ebony & Ivory. :D I love cc free sims but I would still play if we used sims with cc. It'll be fun to start fresh and maybe we could all have one of our fav sims be used? I'm hoping to start playing again on Monday so I'll be around a little more. :-)

    :D Well it sounds like we're getting off to a good start! I don't mind the CC but I'd still like to find sims who have none or a minimal amount. I like the idea of Ebony being a man and Ivory being a woman too.

    CC is no prob for me. An gosh my fav family member? I dunno I love them all but besides Ebony I really enjoyed Felicia from gen 5 :) I think it would be neat if Ebony was in the challenge somewhere tho. I could even rename her :wink:

    EDIT: I do have a small break in between classes like a week so I might play as much as possible but then I have to hit the books pretty hard for my fall semester :( Since we are starting over this is a great time for me to to do my well overdue monthly cc cleaning lol

    Okay we can all pick one of our favorite sims and add them in somewhere. I hope to have everything up by Monday if not sooner. I am getting ready to make a new Ebony and Ivory now. I am doing it on my computer that doesn't have any cc on it. Oh yeah if you don't have a simself already made you should do so. :)

    Sounds good. :D

    I don't really have a simself so I guess I'll have to make one. I'm horrible at making simselfs though they never look anything like me. :P

    I have to figure out which sim is my favorite since I have quite a few that I like. I also don't have a sim self. My avatar is loosely based off of me though. I hope I don't sound crazy :? but I don't make myself in the game anymore. Would anyone mind if I just use my avatar? I'll just go in and change minor things to set her apart from the one that I use as my avatar.

    Sapphire: That is fine if you use your avatar. I think most of our simselves somewhat resemble us but not all the way. Each time I do make one it looks different from the one I made before. My children always say that looks like you but it doesn't look like you. lol I think as long as there is something that resembles you in there like your eye color or personality or style that is fine.

    Edit
    Just finished the new Ebony and Ivory. I will work on getting the page up over the weekend.

    If we're going to start over can we have Becca as a mate? (She's in my studio)
    I'll try and do a simself aswell, I'm not very good at them!

    amadazulsim: Great! I'll just change my avatar a little bit when I get a chance.

    Heckstress: Since we have the same first name, I'll just shorten my sim self's name to Dani so we don't get confused. I feel like someone else that has done our challenge has our name too but I can't remember who.

    Okay, sounds like a plan. I just made my simself and when I uploaded her I remembered that we had the same name. I'm glad you thought of that. :)

    Clairey- I like Becca a lot. :XD:

    Oh, can someone do me a favor? I just remade my simself and I couldn't find a EA hair that looked like mine, so I uploaded her with a cc hairstyle. I don't think it'll transfer, but can someone downloaded her and make sure it doesn't? If it does I'll just re-upload her with an EA hair later on.

    oh jeez, i missed alot! i was at an all day concert yesterday, and quite a bit went down here, lol.
    starting over sounds like a good plan, i had to delete my old save file with the new patch because they were glitching terribly. -__- i had managed to save the family, but now the family tree was lost as well as the rest of the generations before.
    im sad to hear you wont be around as much octojenn )= its also good to see you heckstress (=
    i like the new ebony and ivory too amadazul!

    my simself is my avatar btw.. if it's better, ill reupload her without any CC and as a young adult. (:

    oh and heckstress, no cc comes with your simself. (:

    Heckstress: I think I have that same hairstyle but I'll download her and see what happens.

    amadazulsim: Ebony and Ivory look great!
