    If my sim gets a simbot or simplant or something like that, will that loose me the single parent bonus?

    When does the challenge end, when Zoe turns into a YA or after she graduates from University?

    I have what might be a silly question: If my Sim has enough money, are they allowed to get plastic surgery? And/or if my game mods allow it, can I tweak facial features?

    I am assuming the answer is no, but just wanted to see if this was an option. :-)

    I'm getting there with my family now that I've had more time to play with them. I should start putting up pictures in a couple days. I will be using a separate thread as I think it will work better. Thanks again for such a great contest. I've played more in the past week than I have in months! :shock:

    I edited my original post to add the link for Josh's memories.

    I'm still playing him and taking more pics. I think I'm doing this right if anyone care to take a look and let me know I'd really appreciate it.

    Looks good to me! Although I did not see any custom made memories, but I don't think those are needed.

    I noticed 1 picture is not working. You should check the coding. It looks like a ] is missing.

    It looks like your sim is having a lot of fun.

    illusie, thank you for letting me know about the picture. I fixed it. BTW, are we supposed to have special custom made memories? I didn't remember reading that. I'm not good at stories so I was glad that this was more for the memories.

    You are welcome!
    no it is not a must, but we can include them if we want. It was just something I observed :)

    :( I'm sorry about this, I need to withdraw from the contest. It's getting really busy here and I don't have time to do it right now. Maybe another time I hope. Also all the entries are awesome. Thank you so much. Have a great holiday all. :)
    :) Smile!

    @MSladyTSO: Your solution for getting Zoe and Krissy into the house is just fine. :) I added another lot after we began the competition, because I'd mistakenly assessed how much starting funds a single adult and tot would have. I'm happy you were able to work it out okay. :D

    I played Zoe and Krissy for quite a few days (Sim days) until "real life" stuck it's nose in and disrupted me again! That has happened the last two contests I have tried to enter. If I get lucky, I might be able to finish - but I thought I should say something since it looks like I will most likely not be able to. Thank you for including me, though!

    Just visiting to wish the remaining contestants the best of luck with this competition. I had the best time ever playing this through and are still continuing with Zoe and Krissy. Zoe's daughter was is now a child and takes so much after her mom and grandmother. Mortimer ended up as a food vendor at the winter festival.

    Best of Christmas wishes.

    Zoe got an amazing parting gift from him. I'm sure she's better off with the way things turned out for her in your game!

    I'm sorry people are having to drop out. It's been fun playing this contest. I'm thinking of playing some of the other combinations after I'm done. I'm even trying to figure an interesting way to play with all of the sims in one household, but I haven't figured out a back story yet and I would have to build a house to accommodate everybody.

    I'll be working on finishing up in the next couple of days.

    My game is going well. Zoe is now a YA and is attending University. I have already added the memories generated by the game to my entry thread. I hope soon I have time to work on the custom memories.

    VanessaVenner, cute picture! Merry christmas to you too!

    Aw so sad to see people drop out :(

    When a child becomes a teen, it's time for the parental stress to go into overdrive!
    (So not sure why every time one of my boys grows to teen they end up in that outfit :? )

    I don't know, I know that you can change clothes hair and names but not sure about plastic surgery, but I think I read somewhere you could can't find it tho :?

    Thanks for the entry MMA_Rebel. :mrgreen: Looking good! It looks like illusie already helped you (thanks illusie!!) but I'd like to reinforce that the custom memories aren't mandatory. It won't hurt your chances at a win if you haven't included any. :)

    Hi illusie! You've been a busy little bee! :D:D:D In response to the plantsim/simbot question, yes, you'll lose the bonus. The challenge ends when you feel like Zoe is the best she can be. If that's after Uni, or before, or right when she ages up to a YA...it's totally up to you. However, the longer you play, the more opportunities for completing skill challenges and maxing skills which would certainly leave Zoe well rounded. :thumbup:

    Puddinroy, thank you so much for trying! I appreciate your efforts. I knew this was a tricky time of year, and had hoped it wouldn't interfere too much with RL preparations and celebrations. The contest isn't over until the 29th, so if you think you'd like to enter using a link to your memories, I'll take that into consideration.

    Hi Meg! :) Sorry, but no plastic surgery. :( However, once the contest is over, go nuts! lol

    Dear O, I'm so sorry you have to un and reinstall everything! Boo! That's a daunting task this late in the series. Thank goodness the store downloads are faster now. Thanks for trying! *hugs*

    MSladyTSO, I totally understand. :) If you've been using the in game memories, I'd be happy to take what you have achieved and use it for judging. Since the contestant pool isn't terribly large you never know...you could win a little something even without aging Zoe up the entire way. I just hate to see good play time go to waste. ;)

    To everyone:
    Thank you so much for hanging in there with me! I know this contest is unique, and I've really loved looking through the window into your Sim lives. :)
    After this first run, I've learned a lot and have had a ton of fun....so I'm going to do something similar to this after the first of the year. It will have different and more defined parameters, so hopefully those that weren't able to finish up this time can join me in the upcoming fun! :mrgreen:

    Haha, yes I have been busy playing with Zoe. She is soo fun to play with.
    If Zoe makes a simbot and sells it right away, then that won't loose me my bonus right?
