So, according to the rules, if your Sim masters cooking, they can cook and eat ambrosia one time to extend their life. I wonder if they should have the choice between ambrosia (cooking) and the young again potion (logic)? What do you guys think?
@StephSteb
If you hover over the logic progress bar on the Skills tab, it will show you how many Sims you need to know and how many Sims need to be friends in order to advance further in the skill. Just in case you were not aware of that?
I bought a mirror and used that to increase charisma in between meeting new Sims and befriending them.

I did know that, actually but OMG the mirror! Duh! I forgot I could use that. Thank you!
I like choice, let's go with choice for ambrosia or young again potion
Here's a tip: as you build things (or demolish ) in your world, do a "World Progress" save so if any weird glitch happens, you don't lose your world progress and have to start from scratch. I just did this and put it in my folder with lots I've exported that I've already built. Just save your house and family to the bin and replace the one in the save to keep your family progress.
@StephSteb
Great tip. I typically use "save as" to save my game after every milestone. Ex. Birthdays, mastering skills, adding a community lot, after some serious upgrades and renovations of the main household, and most times when I am leaving the computer for a while.
Hunter has been working on his cooking skill. He is currently at level 9. Serenity is at level 9 in guitar. Bryan and Loni both have the Perfect Mind, Perfect Body Lifetime Wish, so they have been working on athletics and logic. Bryan is level 7 in athletics and level 6 in logic. Loni is level 6 in athletics and has mastered logic. Shelby's Lifetime Wish is Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers. She is at level 4 in cooking, level 3 in handiness, and level 5 in writing. I bought her a guitar so she could play.
Shelby went into labor.
She chose to have the baby at the new hospital. Meet Brenna Lynn!
Shelby and Bryan are contemplating the responsibility of raising a child.
Bryan is appreciative of what Shelby has just been through and wants her to know how much he loves her.
Serenity mastered guitar and the town was able to build a theater.
Later the same day Serenity passed on.
Everyone took turns with the baby and practiced their skills.
Hunter had mastered logic and is able to make the young again potions. I think that he will choose to drink the young again potion.
Bryan had a birthday and became an elder. He is level 6 in cooking and level 7 in logic. I am hoping he can master one of them before he dies. Shelby is still a young adult, so she has a bit longer to master either cooking or logic.
A few days later, Brenna celebrated her birthday and became a toddler.
I'm still skilling up the sims and I swear it feels like the toddlers are going to be elders before I can build anything! Almost have Alexander maxed out in writing so I can build a bookstore (and they can get skill books)! I'm impatient So, I decided to work on renovating the home more:
While Alexander searched and searched and searched the galaxy:
And Kirby practiced and practiced and practiced his speech:
And now, Aileen and Alexander have both aged up to teens!
Hunter, Bryan, and Loni all mastered skills on the same day.
Hunter mastered cooking, so the town built a diner.
Loni mastered athletics and fulfilled her Lifetime Wish. She decided to build a spa but the town decided to combine some businesses by building a shopping center on Main Street. The grocery store, bookstore, spa, and theater are occupying the space.
Shelby is pregnant again.
Hunter longed to be with Serenity again, but he wanted to live to see his grandchildren. Since Loni didn't have anyone in her life yet, he decided to drink a potion to make him young again.
Shelby was abducted by aliens while pregnant!
It's time to go to the hospital.
Should you really be riding your bike to the hospital, Shelby?
The charisma skill is very hard, it has been one of the skills I had my sim get early. As like you said we need the town hall. Amy just got the library. Amy loves books
Andy is into Martial Arts
He is now at level 6
Andy now has a new girlfriend. her name is Anna
They are totally in love
Andy has asked her to marry him
Andy had to tell his old girlfriend and it was not easy
Andy and Anna decide to get married at home
they are so happy
Look what happen on their honeymoon
Anna tells Andy and her Father in law she is pregnant and they are both happy
Not a lot for me to update but I did finally get to build something!
Shannon has been practicing her speech (who she is going to give a speech for I have no idea but she's practicing anyway!
Aileen finally maxed out in gardening and has taken a liking to nectar making as well down at the community garden! The only one left that has to max out in gardening is Alexander now!
F I N A L L Y a bookstore!
Now, I have them reading all of the books and working on skills! I love that some of the community buildings fit perfectly for this but will probably change them out later once the town gets built up
@StephSteb I like your update, your sims are very pretty. I like your world; it is different but very neat. what world are you playing in. Love your buildings, I have always like the Lunar Lakes buildings and also Lunar Lakes. Have fun that is what it is all about.
@Evalen
Congratulations on the library.
Andy has grown into a handsome young man. Looks like he needs a little more practice in Martial Arts.
Congratulations on his marriage and new baby!
@StephSteb
Shannon will master charisma eventually. You have to have the patience of a saint when working on that skill.
That's a nice community garden.
Congratulations on your new bookstore. It fits in with the theme of the island.
@texansky thanks I do like Andy he now is almost has at a 10 in Martial Arts. so much has happened lately will post more later, I am getting addictive and play for hours, I was late for a BBQ at my families because of playing sims. LOL.
Hunter mastered athletics and had already mastered handiness. Loni had mastered logic. The town signed a contract for the military to build their new base in Glenvale County.
Brenna celebrated her birthday and became a child. She inherited her Grandma Teri's violet eyes.
Bekka mastered gardening so the town build a gazebo.
Bryan mastered logic and had already mastered athletics, completing his LTW. Hunter had already mastered painting, so the town built a police station and hired some officers.
Shayne celebrated his birthday. He has grown into a handsome toddler and also inherited his Grandma Teri's violet eyes.
Loni and Bekka also had their birthdays and became adults.
Bekka was abducted by aliens.
She decided to go meet the junkyard dog. While there, she salvaged some things.
As it was winter, Loni had to read the gardening skill book. She mastered gardening.
Bryan had reached the end of his life and would live on borrowed time, so he drank the young again potion.
Shayne celebrated another birthday and is now a child.
Brenna also celebrated her birthday and became a teenager. She completed all her toddler and childhood training. She is now qualified to be the next heir.
Bekka moved out into her own home. The first thing she did was sit on the bench on her front porch to watch the neighborhood.
A lot has happened in my game
First off they have adopted Patty
Her and Bradley hit it off right away and are best of friends
They made enough money to buy a new house
Dewy is painting
Andy is playing football on the computer
Anna is watching TV
Dewy just turned and elder.
The sad news is that Anna passed away a couple of days later along with Buddy the dog
Dewy is Broken hearted
@StephSteb I like your update, your sims are very pretty. I like your world; it is different but very neat. what world are you playing in. Love your buildings, I have always like the Lunar Lakes buildings and also Lunar Lakes. Have fun that is what it is all about.
Thank you I am playing in FreeTown the empty version - you can click here to go to the download page. You might have to use Google Page Translate to read the description. I love the worlds, especially the empty worlds, on that website. They are all so well made and I haven't had any issues with most of the worlds from there!
I love Lunar Lakes with the Into The Future expansion and all of the space store stuff! I am working on a space world save for my tumblr right now (on hold because I am having so much fun with this challenge at the moment though lol) so I have been exploring all of that stuff like it's brand new again I am loving your updates as well. I'm so glad you are playing with us! You are absolutely correct, having fun is what it's all about
@StephSteb
Shannon will master charisma eventually. You have to have the patience of a saint when working on that skill.
That's a nice community garden.
Congratulations on your new bookstore. It fits in with the theme of the island.
They are all stuck on level 5 in Charisma now that I have the skill books I can't get up any higher without them meeting any new folks. I'm so stuck on skilling them up that I haven't even thought about when I'm supposed to add new people or what LOL It's after the first baby is born right? The rules are a little confusing for me, sorry. I'm still trying to figure out what I can build and when I can build it
That community garden was such a good idea! I wish I had them working that garden right away instead of trying to skill them up with a tiny garden at the bunker! If I ever try this challenge again, the first thing I'm building is that garden/park
Another tiny update Everyone is just working on skills...
But I did have some interesting things happen:
Shannon decided to become a fairy instead of a witch and seems pretty happy about that decision!
Meanwhile, Aileen decided to scope out some interesting lights she saw in the sky...
OH NO
She didn't like that. At all.
BUT she liked nectar making so much that she decided to try the mixology skill and is getting the hang of it rather quickly!
And now Fall is here as Alexander keeps fishing and fishing and fishing...
I didn't see anywhere in the rules about an elixir store but I always play with occults so I always have an elixir store. All 5 of them have mastered alchemy so I made a little mill/elixir store.
Back to skills and waiting for one of them to age up. Kirby is next!
@StephSteb love your world, I like the picture of the one throwing the book in the air, made me laugh. Shannon is so pretty and makes a very beautiful fairy. I am playing in Mercury Island it is a small town, but I like small towns. Seems everyone gathers together. I have played this world for years, one of my favorites. I also like Lunar Lake, play in it a lot. You seem to be coming along just great. It's all about having fun. I am actually just taking my time and having fun. I am also doing the A to Z with this challenge.
@texansky love all your pictures you seem to take great shots; I am not that good at the picture taking. I have trouble with close ups. Shayne is so cute, as a baby and child. Did your sim get pregnant by Aliens when taken? You are doing such a great job. keep your pictures coming, love to see them. Brenna is very pretty, can't wait to see her when she grows up. I have always loved the imaginary Friend.
Bryan just mastered cooking, which will be used to build a bistro, once someone else masters gardening and fishing.
Shelby has finally mastered logic. As soon as Hunter masters fishing, the town will get a science facility.
Shelby has finally made a young again potion which she drank right away.
Loni discovered the formula for the young again potion. She will drink it as an adult right before she moves out on her own, so she can have a chance at a full life.
Shayne has mastered the child's stove.
When Loni woke up, she drank the young again potion.
Brenna made her IF real. Meet Patti Lynn! NOTE: Patti was both mean-spirited and evil, and had 8 days to age to young adult. I was not going to put up with that, so I hit random one time. Now she has the following traits: no sense of humor, genius, ambitious, and friendly. Much better! (It could have been worse.)
