Okay, so I've played the Sims 3 for about 2 years now, and I have every expansion pack except Pets, Supernatural, and Into the Future. I feel like I've done every kind of household possible! Any new ideas? What has been your favorite household that you have EVER done?
Please Help :thumbup:

There are lots of challenges in the Stories and Legacies part of the forum, or you could make up your own. I want to do a sim who is immortal, who outlives families. I want to do it like through time, which would involve setting up households that look like different time periods. That will be quite involved, though.
I want to do a household where a teenager is either on his/her own or raising a younger sibling due to no adults. I tried this once by setting up a household with an elder (grandmother), adult (dad), teen girl and her brother, a child. I moved the dad out of the household right away and waited for the grandmother to die. She refused to accommodate me, so I finally killed her off by making her make snowmen for a sim week. But by that time the teenager was YA, so it messed up my plans for that household. Next time, the elder life stage will be the shortest possible. :twisted:
I'm even considering doing a story blog in the future. I've enjoyed reading Sarah Simmer's Driftwood legacy. (http://www.sarahsimmer.com/book-1-krista.html)
It's been fun watching how they entertain themselves and form relationships without my intervention. They all wait until they're bursting to try to use the toilet, and Michonne has peed herself twice because she was last in line. LOL.
They only get to leave the lot once a week, to raid dumpsters for supplies. If they encounter a zombie who makes contact with them, they die. So far no one has died, thank goodness. It's been a lot of fun.

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind
I love that idea! I don't have Supernaturals, but I think the idea of having Sims have to fend for themselves on a lot sounds like sooo much fun!
My teen has the extra challenge, a few days into the game of not only having to harvest produce to sell, eat, and plant, living on a vacant plot of land with no starting funds and no possessions except a sleeping bag and a bicycle, using public restrooms to meet her hygienic needs until she can afford to buy facilities for her own lot (which don't actually require more than one wall unit), and trying to keep up with school demands, but to also take care of a baby, and have the 75 simoleons every day to pay the babysitter so she can go to school. This has not been easy, and my teen has often been sleep deprived and stressed trying to keep up with it all.
That's awesome!
I had a couple with problems move in with the female Sim's brother. The boyfriend had commitment issues, but they weren't breaking up only because they had been high school sweethearts and the female was a little scared of being alone. The brother was also in a relationship with a girl who was lazy and wanted to be waited on hand-and-foot. There was also a roommate of the brother's, a very hardworking man who was attracted to the Sister.
I had fun with the drama of the Sister wondering if she should stay with the familiar or go with the new and exciting man, the boyfriend and the brother's girlfriend secretly flirting (both were narcissists, so they fit), the brother trying his hardest to also keep his relationship together, and the roommate feeling guilty for going after a taken woman.
I thought of doing that one time as part of a challenge. Have the founder be immortal and controlling what her descendants do in order to ensure the future she wants kind of thing.
