I have started a new game and got rid of every Sim included with the game.
I have filled the first world with my own Sims, about 50 so far, all buying a Lottery ticket on the day.
and STILL the Lottery winner was not one of my Sims.
WHO ARE THEY?
Today I've decided to play a tournament in my game.
Three categories have been to play, if a sim won two in a row, a third battle wasn't needed. It took me 4 ingame days and holidays, but it was a funny and surprising experience for me.
The categorie were:
Playing chess,
Debating,
and fighting .
In case of a tie after the third game, because in debating a tie is possible, I chose table tennis as the forth cathegory.
The contestants gave everything, playing dirty tricks by talking to the contestants and during the finals they did even cheat. But when this happened I let this sim loose this specific category.
Here are some pictures of the battles.
The Finals day
The final was between Aaron Johnson and Tomax Collette.
Both took the advantage seriously.
The last fight decided who won the first spring tournament.
And the winner was
Congratz Tomax, I didn't expected this result.
Here is the spreadsheet with the results.
This was fun and I will repeat this tournament when it comes to decide who will be next leader of the first generation.
@mightysprite Thank you.🙂 I used a cc wall trim from Syboulette called sleek. I never cared for any of the defaults. They're too wide to just be a trim piece but they aren't wide enough to be a surface you can place objects on.
@Brd709 Death by stink capsule. If I'm not mistaken, if a sim is trying to create a stink capsule and they fail it can kill them in certain circumstances or most often they wind up getting self-pranked.
Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart went to Willow Creek Library. Princess Roddy played with one of his Voidcritter cards, whilst Sophia read a book:
Shelly Heart gave her youngest nephew, Hamish, a great, big, loving and warm cuddle:
She cuddled him tighter:
Shelly then gave Hamish a very great, big, loving smooch on his nose. Meanwhile, Princess Roddy had finished playing with one of his Voidcritter cards and was now knitting:
He knitted a pink octopus decoration. Later, the group went back home to Dianthus Hall.
Canis is Princess Roddy's favourite Voidcritter Card.

Sounds like i missed something interesting happening with that kid at school then! Can they autonomously do stink capsule pranks?

I've never seen it happen, but if they have enough mischief skill I wouldn't be surprised if they could. Could you imagine having to spend the rest of eternity explaining that you died because your stink bomb prank backfired and you gassed yourself?
I really feel bad for Lucia being the subject of lies from Hallway Hearsay. Hopefully Lucia knows how Sydney felt when she was the subject of lies and Lucia picked on her over them. As a teenager she doesn't fully grasp how that feels until she's on the wrong end of it. Now she's been there so here's hoping Lucia has learned a lesson. It's sad to see Keaton resort to violence over words, but hopefully his response afterward was him understanding that he was wrong and that he learns from that.
I wonder if Darla's irritation with Wade has anything to do with him bringing work home? His world at work is vastly different from the outside world. He seems like a genuinely nice man but a bit too rigid and set in precise routines.
@Simburian You are not alone. I've never had one of my sims win the lottery. It's almost always a random townie. Maxis premades rarely win either.
@Daravi You have an interesting and unique story going. The method of finding a new leader is really creative.
I've been doing a few shorter updates because a five entry update is hard work. I've found myself internally screaming at the sheer amount of image links I've had to copy over from my Tumblr. The current limit is 30 images per post (It's not as bad as Blogger's infinite images thing, but still). I really miss the 10 image per post limit, as that was manageable.

Hey there! Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I gave the posts awesomes as I read them but not all of them gave me notifications so I would mis some if I tried to list everyone now. Sorry that nowadays I have way more time to read the thread than to post and don't make comment posts anymore, but I'm glad they're still part of this thread as it was always part of what made it a fun place to post updates. I hope someday soon I'll be able to comment properly on all of your updates.
So in my last post, Adam Andreas (son of born-in-game Amelia Andreas and premade Pierce Delgato) go engaged to Yuki Behr.
I had a very bad gaming session last week in which lag made the game basically unplayable. I eventually realized that this was because my graphics card didn't auto update so I had my computer do a few rounds of updates while I was doing other things with my evenings, and yesterday I got a snow day and was able to try again. This time I could actually play with only occasional reasonable amounts of lag! So I played through Yuki's bachelorette party three times and I'm over it and don't want to even post the pictures. Although luckily on the third attempt her mother-in-law to be was able to try out the very last recipe she needed to complete the City living recipe collection! So some good came from redoing it anyway.
Shortly after that Pierce aged up to adult. I made some wardrobe changes but otherwise just made his goatee whiter. I kind of love him this way.
Also he still looks distinguished in his astronaut uniform.
Moving on... I will put the rehearsal dinner under the first spoiler.
Honestly I did this twice too. I invited a lot of Adam's cousins to this one. I play a multigenerational rotational save, so most of the households in my rotation are related to Adam. Also, Yuki was fostered by Adam's aunt and uncle as a teen. They never did any family events during that time and met under non-family circumstances so it's not weird on that level, but her foster parents were Pierce's sister Evie and Amelia's half-brother Derrick so there's definitely shared family.
This is the one picture where Pierce ae Evie were together at dinner (along with Yuki, Adam and Amelia).
And all the parents and foster parents gave toasts.
Amelia and Pierce:
Evie and Derrick:
And one good reaction shot:
Moving on to the wedding itself! Under this spoiler.
Other than the best man standing in the aisle after he went up and down (he did both, I couldn't remember which was which and chose the wrong one first - at least that let me know what to have everyone else do! But I still can't remember which was the correct choice), the officiant and sims of honor performed as desired.
Derrick is the officiant, Darius (Candy's husband) is the best man and Candy (back to you in the shot) was the maid of honor.
I love this picture of Candy looking at her husband as she comes up the aisle, except for the bride and guests being random in the background.
Flower pal was perfect, and I grabbed this shot of her walking past the mother of the groom and foster mother of the bride sitting together.
Yuki shed some tears on the way up.
The crowd was very responsive to the vows.
The rings.
Again if Darius would have done anything other than stand in the middle of the aisle it would have been nice... but at least he was paying attention.
Derrick kinda sobbed over the kiss.
And there were doves? I don't remember being told about the doves. I love them!
I have absolutely not figured out the right timing for the recessional and the throwing of rice. But I had the couple kiss while it was festive.
And now on to the reception.
Firstly, I forgot the cake! Well, I had it made the first time... Anyway so Amelia had to make it in a hurry n the kitchen that was conveniently still on the lot.
In the meantime everyone else ate. Sims actually do that when you tell them to, apparently!
Yuki took some time with her foster parents, and also with her sister and niece.
And then they had their first dance.
Then everyone started dancing.
I like that last one because it looks like Adam's cousin Esau is teaching him some moves.
Finally there was cake!
And they cut it!
And after everyone else left Amelia finally got dinner (sorry!) and the rest of the household finished their cake.
Phew! In between all of that, Amelia retired after aging to elder, Adam was promoted to level 8 of the political career, and Yuki reached either the 6th or 7th level of the Style Influencer career... enough that she could choose the Trendsetter branch. Pierce is at level 9 of the Space Ranger career branch and due to a few negative chance cards this time did not progress, but he's close! He refuses to retire until he reaches the top.
And now I move on to the next household. Thanks for reading, and happy simming to all of you!
@DaniRose2143 Aw, thank you so much for reading and providing your thoughts! I love reading other's insights on the situation. My full reply is in the spoiler, and there's some real spoilers in here!
I agree with you. I think Lucia, though a total individual, likes to jump on the bandwagon. If someone is popular - she likes them, if an outfit is trendy - she'll wear it, if there's a rumor about someone - she'll laugh along and spread it. The reason why her rumor was tied to how others perceive her work (her talent) is because her character actually lacks self-confidence. She doesn't really find her groove until her and Keaton become official which happens two seasons from where we are in my updates (my current gameplay). I also would like to see her learn a lesson, but it may take her some time.
Keaton is not a violent guy at all, so when that fight happened in my game, I had to wrap my head around it. Why did he get in a fight with his best friend? How would he feel about it? Truthfully, Blake has the mean trait, so he's the "school bully" technically in the game.
That is so funny that you mention that bit about Wade and Darla because, and I'm not even joking, Darla had the "Neglected by a Workaholic" sentiment in regards to Wade. Wade was a really fun character back when I first started playing him as a young adult, but now that he's grown, I see him following in his father's footsteps quite a bit. His father is strict and uptight, so it's not necessary the best shoes to fill. Maybe he'll lighten up when he's retired? We'll have to see!
Hi simmers! I've just released a new update, Holden Update #20. In this update, we get a glimpse into the Holden's Harvestfest, follow Dallas to a cheer competition, and get invited to a sleepover! Enjoy!
@DaniRose2143 Thank you for your comment. Most of the time I'm a control freak (thanks mccc) when it comes to my sims and their lifes, but sometimes I let the game do the gamble and let me surprise. I had this idea of game in my mind and just wanted to test it. The rules comes more or less from the WoW MDI championship, which I had enjoy to watch for a while. And it worked well here too. Most of my male sims have the same skill level in these categories, some are even max out but they didn't win though. I was even surprised that Aaron came into the final, his skills where between level 6 and 8.
I'm back in Del Sol Valley with the cast of Schemes & Dreams.
This chapter will have lots of Octavia, Thorne, Judith, and the long overdue debut of Rayvn. Funny thing is, until I created Mimi, Rayvn was supposed to be the star of this show. What can I say, Mimi is an irresistible force.😁 I've lost a couple of chapters to set up the part one bombshell ending that involves Rayvn.
Yesterday I decided I'd try to work out why I can't have MCCC installed. It seems like something related to Danielle and Londyn in UtTS. It worked fine in S&D after I removed TwistedMexi's T.O.O.L.. I was excited that I had it working there and went into UtTS to check it out in that save and as soon as I arrived at the Tartosa screen, I clicked on Danielle and just like that the bug where MCCC takes forever to go through a load screen was back. I left it to load while I went to do a couple of chores. I came back 20 minutes later and it was still on the loading screen. I went to the force quit app on my computer to see if TS4 was showing as unresponsive but it wasn't. When I tried going back to S&D the problem was back over there too. For now I'll press on without MCCC again. It hasn't worked properly in months and storytelling wasn't affected so MCCC goes back into the storage folder for now.
Some pics with the class of 1994 at their high school prom:
My sim self's cousins Conor and Riordan (Uncle Jimmy's boys) gather for a pre-prom gathering at my sim self's youngest daughter Ayla's house with her daughter Imogen and friends:
At the auditorium:
My sim self's granddaughter Imogen is on the left:
Conor's girlfriend Vanessa becomes prom queen and Conor's brother is Riordan is voted prom jester:
Riordan soaks up every moment of his popularity and his fans follow him to the bathroom!
The family gathering for Harvestfest was really heartwarming. Everybody looks sooo happy!🥰 The look on Keaton's face hit me in the feels too. The whole scene did.❤️ Dallas not letting her mistakes get her down hit me in the feels too. It would be so easy for her to feel sorry for herself, or to beat herself up over it, but she handled it beautifully. It's a credit to Darla and Wade for the way she was raised. Dallas and Sydney are really having fun at their sleepover. It's such an important part of growing up, and I think more so for girls.

It looks like you got these half walls to display without the shelf-like trim on top! Is that so? If so, how did you do it?

My sim self's uncle Jimmy's son Riordan rushes to Layton as Death arrives. Riordan tries to flirt with Death to spare Layton:
But death rejects Riordan and takes Layton's soul:
Those poor animals and that poor baby:
What would cause this kind of death?
