Let me see if I understand. Start with one controllable Sim. When the heir becomes a YA do they stay on the original lot? Or they are then to move to another lot? Bookmarked thread and YouTube channel.

Yes...start w/1 main Sim...Move-in "heir creator"...Produce Heir...THEN...when Heir reaches YA...This house challenge is over. Everyone stays in that house EXCEPT the heir...which will move on to House 002 (next mini-challenge) & will become your Main Sim for that house challenge.
Are you releasing this challenge in segments? Or is it the same challenge just filling each lot up over time?
It's in segments. We fill up the lots as we go....each house will come w/a whole new set of challenges 2 complete before moving on 2 the next house challenge.
If you rather enjoy 1 specific house challenge..it works as a stand alone challenge as well....so if the WHOLE challenge is 2 much or u just prefer smaller/quicker challenges...then by all means...just use the mini-house challenge(s) 2 enhance your own game play
I'm ggoing to do this challenge too on my channel once I finish my current project. I wanna watch how everyone else does first! Super excited to watch all the let's plays and read the blogs! ^^

Fabulous...I shall take a gander I'm so glad 2 hear that u r enjoying the challenge!!!
Yeah...deleting the whole town is a bear....we do have a blank copy here so if u needed a blank world again, or whatever...this will only take a minute
Off 2 watch your video(s)! Have a great day!
@Vihisha I tried that, but it required some kind of something I didn't have on my computer. So I just manually did it, cuz I really wanted to play! ^^
It's a lot of fun! Thanks for checking out my video. I should have part 2 and 3 up sometime today! ^^ Having a lot of fun with it. ^^
Gotcha! Glad that not being able 2 snag that blank world wasn't a deal breaker 4 ya
I'll b watching 4 your other videos It sure is nice 2 know that it's been fun 4 u so far!!
I have episode 2 posted up on my channel & plan on uploading more this coming week...stay tuned!
Funny you said that, I'm actually already watching those. I'm almost done with part 1 now, and will be watching part 2 soon.
Part 2 and 3 are already up. I am not going to be able to play my games for a few days, so I'll be continuing the game in a few days.
I am gonna start this challenge right away, I totally love the idea of starting with completely nothing and building a complete town out of nothing. I am still a newbie and not someone who uploads let's plays, but I will send pictures as soon as I can on this forum. I think I will use a female character, but I don't exactly have a name in mind yet, but that will come.

Very cool...I can't wait 4 those pics!!! I hope u enjoy playing...feel free 2 also leave me your opinion on the challenge as well...I'd love 2 hear your take on it
Can I actually travel to other lots within the street to dig up those treasures, bcos there's a rock on a lot in my street. Yes, I forgot the amount of comments needed, but I know I can't get pics up yet.
I got another question worked up, hope you don't mind me posting twice. Can my sim get a job? It would make making money a lot easier. And here's some information about her. Her name is Jaylene Dawnson, she loves the outdoors, is active and creative, her aspiration is bodybuilder, but I think I will switch it, because she can't go to the gym, which is needed for this aspiration. She is your typical punk rock girl, wearing a lot of leather and having pink hair.

U may travel all up & down your street & the surrounding areas of that street..but u may NOT visit any other lots even if they r on your street...they r not built therefore considered locked. U SHOULD b able 2 reach all of the harvestables & collectables in that area without actually being ON a lot....if the car icon pops up 2 visit the lot...then u know it's a no go place...otherwise it's fair game on the street.
