This past week, I haven't had the motivation or desire to do any testing, so I'm pushing back the release of Switch Five an extra week (to 4/23). Apparently after vacation, I needed a break from Sims! I've been busy with other things, and will get back into testing in the next week. I guess everyone needs a break sometime!
@DebraF63 I'm back to working on this. The Final two switches should be out in the next couple of weeks, at which point I'll get the finished challenge on the list of Sims Challenges. Sorry, real life got in the way and I had to take an extended break from gaming. I'm back to simming now, and want to get this challenge off of my TO DO list. I'm actually finishing up on Switch Five testing right now, so it should be out officially in the next day or two.
Thank you for getting back to me @IllusoryThrall and I understand real life so it is okay. Glad you are able to get back to gaming and Simming. Hugs to you.
@DebraF63 You're welcome! I have the last test save needed for Switch Five 3 sim-days away from complete, and I expect to have Switch Five published sometime today. Whether I get the last switch out in time for season's launch day, I don't know.. but I do know that Seasons won't "break" the Apartment Switch Challenge, because there's never really a time you're living without a roof (unless you count extreme mode in the penthouses.. but you should be able to put up a roof pretty fast there.)
Switch Five is officially published. I elected not to make a separate post on the forums about it, it's just easier to host it on my blog. I also published both Normal and Extreme difficulties' testing blogs. One less thing on my to-do list. Just one switch left!
@DebraF63 I haven't found any of the new packs that will "break" the Switch as it is. The only one I still restrict is vampires. Even pets work out okay, and the seasons isn't a huge deal until you get to building the penthouses...and by the time you move into those, you should have enough so that you're not going to freeze in winter. Glad you're playing the switch. It's quite a fun challenge!
I'm planning on finishing up the very last switch testing in the next week or two and finishing the last rule publishing. I got stuck on it because the last switch is really tough, and it took me a couple tests to get it just right. Pretty sure I have it figured out now, I just have to go through testing on the "normal" difficulty and get the last few days done on "expert".
Just so you know. Well I was playing the Sims 4 Apartment Switch - I had moved from Apartment 1 to Apartment 2 and had a lottery day and then Harvestfest back to back. Everything was going great on harvestfest until the gnomes showed up - my sim got Electrocuted 3 times - seemed alright so I had her repair the tv - she got it repaired then I was going to have her go thru the pile but instead I got a "GAME OVER" and she disappeared.
@DebraF63 good thing you had a backup save! I'll have to remember that with the gnomes and electrocution. I didn't know the gnomes getting angry could end up getting you killed! Yikes!
Switch Six is officially posted... along with the two testing posts to prove that it's possible. (And no, I was not at all sure it was possible before full testing!!)
With the posting (and final testing complete) of Switch Six, this challenge is officially live. I will be submitting it to the challenge database! I had a blast making it, even though it took far longer than I expected initially. That last switch is crazy, and had to be tested a few times, which was no fun.
@IllusoryThrall Cool thanks for all your hard work - I will be getting back into this soon - got all saved on the computer and printed out to my notebook.
I have started this challenge and it's a lot of fun. Still on Switch 1 and my heir is just about to age up to a teenager. I am looking forward to starting switch 2! And doing it all over again Thanks for taking the time to put this amazing challenge together.
@crstasse I'm glad you're liking it! It took forever to get fully tested to prove everything I was asking was possible, and I think it turned into a pretty fun challenge. I'd love to see pictures of your family and apartments, that's always the best part!
Ah, this is fun! I spent a great deal of time in my Drifter challenge impatient to start this one, but I knew I wanted to continue on to it. Just finished the first Switch, apart from waiting for my heir to age up.
I had a question on the second Switch-so any sim BUT the main sim is supposed to complete the aspiration, right? It doesn't count if it's just the main sim?
No, the main sim can complete it, too. The main difference between the Switch and the Drifter series is that you're allowed to play all the sims in the Switch, therefore other sims can complete the aspiration. In testing, I always had the main sim complete the aspiration, but that was just for ease of testing. I hadn't realized the wording was confusing. I apologize. Glad you're liking the Switch, I had a great time with it in testing!
