Hey @Lynnwood, I'm still in Gen 1, Part 3 of my (nontraditional) ISBI challenge, but it's still an ISBI as I'm controlling only one Sim and rolling at random when I need to make decisions for other Sims. Can I jump on the bandwagon and get my story added here?
@mojot89 - Ahahah! I think I'll leave that one up to the players to decide . . . like, if you want to hard-mode yourself, then yes count the pets social worker visits. If not, then let it slide. (Since you can't really earn points with pets, I see them more as window-dressing in ISBIs, so I dunno if it's fair that they cost you points).
@Lynnwood So I have another question. I know, I've been having a lot of them lately lol. So let's say your TH wins the lottery (if you have seasons installed), does that money count for the "Every 100,000 simoleons earned" part of the points? I haven't won the lottery, but just in case it happens in another universe lol
@mojot89 - Sure, it'll count. It's pure luck of course, but it's not the only luck-based mechanic in the game. So as long as you play the lotto fairly (no mods to cheat of course) then it's fair and square.
alright, Thanks @Lynnwood . I probably won't ever win one, but just a though for the slim chance it does happen lol
You never know what might happen. If you do end up winning the lottery, give a shout here. I'd love to hear of it. I've not ever won it yet either. There's always a first time though. I still have hope.
@mojot89 - Hmmmmm. I think those might deserve some points, you're right. It's not easy getting those toddler skills learned, especially in an ISBI . . . Let's say . . . 5 points for Happy Toddler, 10 for Top-Notch?

I started an ISBI after reading mojot89's Wilde ISBI. I don't blog, but here are some highlights of my play so far:
I haven't had a lot of fails - a couple of pass-outs and a couple of toddler bladder fails. There was an almost fire that I wasn't sure how to classify. My TH was cooking (med. cooking skills) and there were flames that she managed to squelch. I decided since there was no property damage and the sim wasn't even singed it didn't count.
I decided I wanted a matriarchy, and of course the first three children were boys. Fortunately the fourth was a girl. I spaced the kids so that there was only one toddler at a time.
I had two kids go to bed as they were close to passing out. Good, right? And then the toddler was still awake and kept waking up his older brothers - the little twerp. I finally had to wake up my exhausted TH to put him to bed so the other boys could get some sleep.
The long awaited girl is the one who really enjoys making messes - both as a toddler and as a child. Every time I check on her she is somewhere else making a mess. The only upside is she has a real chance of maxing her creativity before she becomes a teen. She still has two or three days and is a high level nine.
The oldest aged up to YA and has the good vampire aspiration. So I "cheated" after I aged him and took him to meet Lilith Vatore, had enough conversation to ask her to turn him and then moved him in with her.
As I am counting down this generation, I get the notice that my TH is pregnant. What? We didn't plan that! Risky woohoo struck. I check MCCC and discover she is expecting twins - at about the same time as the youngest (and heir) will become a teen. Oh boy!
@mojot89 It's where you start with an elder and each generation starts with the next "lowest" age group. so the next TH takes over at adult, then YA, then teen, then child, then toddler, then infant. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/665821/new-isbi-challenge-twist here's the rules such as they were for sims 3.. for some reason making an elder sim in the new story mode made me think of it, and now i'm curious to try. LOL. just what i need, another challenge...
