      @LadyLana1 Your Elise looks so chill and casual! Adding your blog to my roster. >:) Alice and Eric were my Elise's first friends, too...but they fell off the face of the planet. Here's hoping they treat your Elise a little better!

      @allysimbuilds Thanks! Im actually quite happy with how she turned out. She's not the Sim I normally would pick to play.
      Btw, I love that you are putting up an estimated read time lol

      I just wanted to show you guys the most adorable moment with Elise's son Hiram. Akira had just given him a bath and then I think I had him go make dinner. Hiram stayed in the bathroom and played with his truck. It's too stinkin cute!!!

      @LadyLana1 and @Rainydayz179 For the first posts I did it manually, with a timer, but I read really quickly. The average adult reads 200-275wpm, so I divide my post's word count by 200, then round up. 300 words would be ERT of 2 minutes. Make sense? Funnily enough, I mentioned I was thinking of trying this in a few different places and it got the same response: waste of time, stupid, devalues your work, etc. I guess this has been a heated topic for a few years now with online journals and magazines? I've only noticed a positive impact for everyone, so I plan on continuing to do it.




      I'm going to be off and on, like I have been, over the next few days. But I wanted to say a few things about shared spouses and goals. The challenge was created with the idea of it being fairly open and free-flowing, the only requirements were that we all had to start with Elise and have a legacy together. At first I liked the idea of having everyone achieve milestones and share a spouse for a generation, but it kind of looses the whole spirit of the challenge a little. I guess what I mean is, I don't know what making these things requirements is totally fair. If you want to take part in them, fine, but forcing it on everyone is a little restrictive. Just wanted to play devil's advocate and bring that up.

      @allysimbuilds I think the ERT is pretty cool so don't listen to the naysayers.

      I'm torn over the legacy thing. On one hand, I'm so far ahead of everyone... Cassie's oldest ages to teen and her youngest to child next time I play. On the other hand, I know how bored people get with legacies so having some common denominator might help keep everyone feeling like it's a collaboration. If anything we could make a pool of sims and pick and choose whether or not we add them to our stories. If so, I might have to use a mod to increase the number of sims for a household, lol. I have a full house right now. :D

      Oh I'll come and catch up with ya haha . I really would not want shared goals but id love to have a pool of shared spouses. I agree that after a few generations there might not be much connection anymore and a few lovely guys would do the trick for me

      Hurry up and catch up with me! :D I did make one household for possible use with 4 sims but only 2 of them are guys. I guess the girls could be friends? One of the girls is the twin sister so there's that.

      SCHEDULED. I think I'll give him parents and put him in as a toddler when the first potential heir ages up! He won't have the same traits when he ages up but I can pretend, lol.

      Good luck with your parties!

      @SimQueenie9 made my gen 2 spouses for both my heir and spare. If you look on the gallery under #robingenes the heir married Adan from the Copeland household and my spare married Gabriel from the Hartley-Livingston-Roe household.

      Are you going to do that soon? My first potential heir is a child now and the other is going to age to child today.

      At this point, I'm just going to play and hopefully some others will want to use the same sims every once in awhile. If we ever decide on goals that would be great but if I put off playing waiting for some kind of verdict I'll get bored and start something new.

      Awesome! I'm set for gen 3 but maybe 4? Or maybe a spouse for my spare if she stays in the house.

      Works for me! I'm going to be aging Moose down and adding parents for @Meggles as soon as I'm done writing this chapter. He's already on the gallery as a young adult. I forget who made him? He's in Meggles' story as someone that almost marries Elise as an elder if you're wondering who we're talking about.
