  • Well, of course when I start a "photo/sim gameplay-a-day" style challenge, life will happen. I ended up getting sick (allergies turned sinus infection), and as soon as I started getting better, my daughter ended up sick with it and while she was sick my brother has been put under heavy sedation in ICU with liver and kidney…
  • It could be fun if it's an OPTION. If it's strictly online, I'm firmly in the Absolutely Not camp. I do have a few close, personal friends and family members that it would be fun to share my game with - occasionally. But it's still MY game and I want to spend that time in MY world, with MY sims. So - Could Be Fun IF it's…
  • I decided to get set up with a tumblr and do my updates on there. With satellite internet that is prone to outages, it'll be better for me to have a platform I can more easily update from my cell in the event of more outages. I'm trying to get it caught up and I literally just started the tumblr. I have no idea about…
  • I started this challenge Yesterday. However, I couldn't upload my Day One's pic because my internet had been horrible all day. Less than 1 mbps with constant outages. Basically, I had worse than dial up and couldn't even load most webpages. Fun times.... It seems better so far, let's hope. So, here is day one, fingers…
  • @Marnetti Sadly, those CC shoes you shared are even worse than the EA ones. I noticed in CAS with those dallas girl shoes, that her feet were gone into the floor. I figured it might be a CAS glitch, because CC sometimes doesn't play nice with CAS. But, nope. It happens in game, too. And this is exactly why we shouldn't…
  • Thank you, I appreciate the link (and hopefully any future person that comes along that will want it will have it, too). I do have the replacements, however, I do not like having CC in my game. I like creating sims and houses that I can share on the gallery with family, friends, and everyone else... I can't do that when I…
  • Oh, I love the name change! I have been wanting to play this challenge for a little while now. But held off because when I found it, I think you hadn't updated it in a while. I just came back from a simming break and started my save with it. Gen 1 just returned from GF and her daughter was born, though she is a level 8 in…
  • I'm not sure about it being a CPU hog. I'd say there is definitely something else going on with OP's computer. Possibly lower specs. Because my Origin 0% of my CPU, and only 68.9MB of my RAM, while playing sims. It's very low usage, all around. Even the game isn't crazy demanding, my Chrome uses nearly as much RAM as my…
  • @figgy Not sure if these are the ones Marnetti means, but I did find these. They look... better, I guess. Still odd, but I'd rather see this than what EA put out. Thought I'd toss you the link, too, in case you wanted it. https://www.patreon.com/posts/dream-decorator-51965627
  • @logion the boots make her ankles and calves slimmer than they actually are and make her feet much smaller than they actually are. They aren't as horribly done as the heels, clearly, but they are not right either. @Marnetti I'd be interested in that link. I'm mostly a CC free simmer, and don't feel we should have to rely…
  • My very pregnant sim and her husband went on vacay. I was thinking, she'd have the baby in granite falls and we'd have the 3 days to care for the infant (I forgot pregnancies pause on vacation). [img][/img]
  • Probably Vampires, I rarely play vampires, rarely use the clothes (yuck), and can't stand Caleb and Vlad. I could be happy having not bought it at all. Next would be the spooky stuff, though I'm not completely against it. I have thrown a spooky party a few times, and those times I'm happy with it, but it's not a pack I use…
  • Yep, been around since release. I remember playing the asylum challenge right after release and my sim missed out on a getting a bed and I was blown away when she went to a chair and napped. ETA: They also fall asleep during a bath. That bugs me, as I like my sims to take a bath and then they'll fall asleep when I don't…
  • Sadly, that didn't work. He still came home a couple hours later.
  • He's still living in the active household. I just want a way to stop him from auto coming home. I keep traveling with him to the retail lot, but he keeps making his way back home. I really don't want to move him out of the active household, just keep him off lot and rotate between the home lot and the retail lot. When I'm…
  • Since I'm not sure how the challenge was meant to handle my concerns above, I went ahead and tweaked the generation 1 goals and rules. Dad got all three of his women pregnant. They all did end up having girls and we held a poll and determined the "heir". The heir and her mother moved into the house that my founder built…
  • I keep my screenshots and generally will have them organized much like a mods folder. I have a "Sims" folder on my HDD drive in the Pictures section. Inside Sims, I have the name of a main save ("100 baby challenge: Vanissa", "Bad to Good Legacy: Walker", "Rotational Play: Personal", etc) or theme ("Fashion" for my CAS…
  • My current sims name is Rocky Walker. Which I find hilarious. My young one gave him his first name and my husband gave him his last name. It just come together perfectly.
  • I'm playing in the Bad to Good Legacy (which is very different then my normal playstyle) and Rocky seems to be embracing his bad side. :D
  • The bits in bold are confusing me. How would a house I build on my home lot be for the mother of my child, if she doesn't live with us (and never can) and her and the child live elsewhere?
  • But that wasn't the statement. The statement was "laptops aren't good for gaming" not "laptops are inferior to desktops for gaming". I agree, nothing compares to a desktop, which is why I mentioned that laptops needed slightly higher specs. And my desktop is far superior over my laptop, but I can easily game on either -…
  • As a newly married, childless, couple perhaps their first vacation together? Maybe movie night together? Bowling together? Karaoke together? Being at the romance festival (or any of the other ones). Getting advice from the love guru (for fun, if nothing else). I'd think, as a childless, married couple they'd focus on…
  • That's such a false statement. Laptops are fine for gaming, as long as they met specs and a person isn't trying to play a intensely graphic game on a $200 underpowered laptop. Then, no, of course it won't go well. But I have had a well spec gaming laptop for the last 5 years that I play games on and have zero problems out…
  • Right! Maxis Occasionally's Maxis When-We-Feel-Like-It's Maxis Once-In-A-While's.
  • That makes sense. I wasn't thinking of his wife, though, and genetics would still be from the bloodline (I'm a genetics player. I love seeing genetics at play). You have me wanting to start up the 100 baby challenge with your added rules. Seems like it might be pretty fun. I just won't adopt in the 100 baby challenge.…
  • Why not just change a son to be able to get pregnant in CAS? There is a sims group on this challenge on facebook and so many people have their own unique twist on the challenge, that several have mentioned making a son be pregnant is a great work around for no daughters issue.
  • TBH, I grew up with a Nintendo, and I did play some games (Mario Bros was my fave), but it was never more than a pass time, when I had time. As I grew through my early 20's (pre-Sims) I played Crash, Donkey Kong, Tekken, and a few others. We owned a few consoles but - again - it was never more than a occasional pass time.…
  • Man, I can totally understand why people are crying so much for sims to be online. I can't wait for that day. It'll be nothing but sunshine and roses and constant connections....
  • Check mods. I was having the same issue and I tested without my mods in and the issue cleared up. I narrowed it down to a small handful that I don't care to narrow down anymore. The ones that the issue mod is in is a small number that I'm okay with all of them being out of my game and I don't have the desire to load and…
