@afai1261 oh don’t worry, you were clear - that’s what I figured you meant by “dying”, since otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to travel I guess I should have said that I didn’t realise that if an NPC is about to start dying and you travel away, then they won’t die! For some reason I just assumed that they would.
And so once again I prove that I am an i*diot, obviously. Sorry
You’re not an i*diot the only id*ot here is Vlad for going out without an umbrella!
Says the one who has Seasons... to the one who doesn't have Seasons and therefore does not have umbrellas for her long suffering vampires
Sorry, I forgot you don’t have Seasons! To be honest, the umbrellas-for-vampires feature is not that great, since it makes all vampires autonomously put up an umbrella when they are outside, even if they have full sun resistance. So annoying. I preferred just cheating all my vamps to full sun resistance and not having to put up with the umbrella.
Alex is looking good as a kid. Billy looks... that nose!
Aww I can’t believe Tiger is an elder already I feel as though they only just got him. Be ready to take him to the vet every other day - when pets become elders they get sick crazy often. Do you think you’ll keep him around as a ghost when the time comes?
Does drastic mean you want to turn to the gallery for them? Pretty ladies I mean.
I meant like aging (I just love how in the previous chapter title I used the British English spelling and now apparently I'm American) down some of the girls already in town. I mean, I don't have a rule against that... is it cheating if I don't have a rule against it
Whereas I do have a rule against turning to the gallery. I'm just itching to create a girl for him... oh darn
I think Luna's daughters JoAnna and Dakota are beautiful, but they're already YA and Alex is still a kid... unless of course I age them down. But would that be seen as too cheaty? I have no clue.
@MaggieMarley I need advice
You created the "official" BOTU rules, didn't you? Send help
Well I guess it depends on what you what I can appreciate keeping to the rules but if your having issues with what you need for the challenge, finding better genes it's probably okay to age sims down already in game in this case.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day

Mmm yeah I might wait to see what Maggie thinks before I do anything. I appreciate your input
@afai1261 haha I love that you’re taking this so serious but don’t worry, it’s just a sims challenge! I guess it depends on whether you’re playing under the BOTU rules I wrote (which were only a guide!) or your own set. I don’t think there’s a rule explicitly forbidding aging down townies in my official rules, but it would probably count as a breach of the “no editing of spouses in CAS” rule and would go against the spirit of the rule stipulating that aging must be on for unplayed households, the intent of which is to make the challenge harder by reducing the number of attractive potential spouses.
BUT rules are made to be broken - amIright?
If you are against aging down a girl for Alex, here are some alternatives:
1. Have him marry a good looking guy if you can find one
2. Pair him up with Lilith or Caleb (I assume they’re still around in your save. Actually, I know Lilith is still there) - I myself am keeping these around in my BOTU for a time when there are no attractive townies since they’re good looking and will be around whenever I need them
3. Have him wish for love at the Wishing Well and see if you get a cute partner (if you have the Romantic Garden SP)
4. Have him seduce Mimsy (pretty ghost at the Von Haunt Estate). You can move her in with him in manage households and after she is resurrected (you can do this quickly with MCCC) she will be able to have kids (but only through MCCC’s risky woohoo - there is no try for a baby option for her as the game will still think she’s a ghost although she’s been brought back to life)
5. Once Alex is a YA, you could see if there are any kids around who are going to grow up cute and age them up to YA with birthday cakes (this wouldn’t technically be breaking the no editing in CAS rule!)
As you can see, I’ve been thinking about this for myself because my townies are getting progressively uglier. I have been lucky so far in always being able to find a cute spouse, but I think eventually I will reach a point where I may have to resort to one of the above options. I think my first choice would be marrying Lilith or Caleb, followed by marrying Mimsy.
If you do decide to age one of those girls down, I think they’re both really cute! But Joanna Villareal is my favourite
@MaggieMarley lol you think my simself is pretty? As for Caleb's son, I will put him on the gallery in like 9 hours because it's like almost 1 AM where I am and I need to sleep
That gig with the rainbow lightsabres is my favorite! The picture of Isabelle being set alight by her own fire Ray is pretty funny - I didn’t know that could happen

Why wouldn't I? I love him too much to let him be gone forever when he dies
Oh yay now I can set Billy up with one of my girls because he's a spare. Wonder who he should get with... my simself maybe?

I'm going to age down Joanna. I mean, aging down isn't like editing the actual genetics or anything
Or maybe I should have just done it and not confessed to it
Haha devious

Also Caleb’s son is so cute!!! Can you put him on the gallery (please)? All Caleb’s kids in my game have been really ugly.
I’m so glad you decided to keep Tiger around - ghost pets are the best.
Joanna makes a cute kid
