  • I am enjoying this challenge! I started slightly differently (I created a father and toddler), but otherwise am determined to stick to the rules. Good thing my father Travis has some kind friends to take him in. I picked a random family that my game generated, and wouldn't you know it, they even had a spare bedroom for…
  • Aaand I have now successfully played this game to its conclusion! I found out that it's REALLY HARD to get your kids to have an A, plus, it's kind of fun to try to help everyone complete their Aspirations, so I added that to the challenge. I decided to go with "most kids" instead of "most adult kids" because it's more fun…
  • If you have babies with an alien, regardless of the alien's "disguise" colour of eyes or natural eye colour, your children will have a great variety of colours. High chance for violet, but I've also gotten black, green, brown, and grey.
  • N'aw I'd probably break it. Chess is way more entertaining. Have you ever set anything on fire?
  • True The Simmer below me got at least 1 thing on their wishlist
  • Thank you so much for making a current list! I love challenges. <3 Please consider adding my challenge: http://forums.thesims.com/En_US/discussion/906019/wizards-in-the-muggle-world-challenge to your list. It would be under the category Gameplay/Storytelling :) I was also thinking in regards to the categories that you may…
  • OK I have figured this out. While you play one Sim the others are doing their own thing (so teaching them the basics before adding a new Sim is essential). If you pause and save when you exit, everyone is paused. Do NOT answer any calls for birthdays as it ages your Sim up prematurely.
  • @Erica87 I'm so sorry fertility isn't working for you. :( I hope it's an easy fix. To answer your earlier question, I have watched a lot of people on YouTube play this challenge, and if the kid ages up before he/she reaches an A, the kid is still part of the challenge. Perhaps better wording of the rules are: reaches an A…
  • Oddly I checked the list of people I can invite and I can invite some but not others. Frustrating because I'd love for my Sim to elope with her boyfriend there.
  • I have discovered a brilliant way to randomize child Traits from baby to child. Switch homes briefly and play as a friend of the family. You can interact with the child and age it up and the traits will be completely random. I've gotten a whiz kid who is insane and an artistic prodigy who is creative so far.
  • :s I feel like I'm constantly making edits to this challenge but that is what will make it fun and playable. I'd hate for players to get stuck as I am doing. ;) So babies... sorry if you love raising babies but this is not the challenge for that. I realized thst if I left one couple alone with their baby to play another…
  • That explains why my Sim was laughing so loudly in his sleep. He never does that.
  • To @SimpleIntoxication @Nephesh_Spirit @ThatVocaloidGirl and anyone else trying this challenge: Yet another adjustment to the rules: On testing this challenge, I cannot find a way to play each Sim equally if the households are being played simultaneously. You can pause one Sam's game when you save and quit, but the others…
  • Has anyone seen the latest Dan and Phil play the Sims? The one with the pillows?
  • In Sims "Get to Work" you can design your alien's features with makeup. This amused me -- especially that Star Wars head.
  • img upload Meet Lord Vitalius Octavious Fanglesnoot. Lord Vitalius has a secret. His Pureblood family is presumed wealthy but in reality they’re anything but. They’ve been pretending for years. Their mansion is beautiful to look at on the outside, but every year the rooms get emptier and emptier as they sell old family…
  • upload img Meet Lady Trudy Battlefrost A quillmate of Lady Adelaide, Lady Trudy is, or should we say was from a prestigious pureblood family. They earned their family name from the Goblin wars, where it was said her ancestors must have had hearts of stone to endure and stay strong to the end. Her family has also been known…
  • uploadimage A schoolmate of Lady Adelaide, Alecmycus, or ‘Alec’ as he likes his friends to call him, is the most good-natured Ravenclaw you’ll ever come across. “You have to bend, or you’ll break,” he once confided to ‘Addy.’ Most of the other purebloods don’t want anything to do with Alec. Everyone knows his family spent…
  • *Second edit of the challenge. I realized that $500 per person finding out you're an alien can be very costly if you're found out in a crowd! Poor Lord Vitalius was about to go broke when 3 people discovered he was an alien. I'm still not sure HOW they discovered it. Anyway, I reduced the rate to $100 and the rate of…
  • @lisabee2 Intriguing backstory! As a suggestion, when switching between character dialogue, you might want to start new paragraphs. I'm confuse by one line in the beginning too. It says that Bruno "mind raced" -- is that a special ability he has? Like reading people's thoughts or memories? Or is it just a typo for "His…
  • Ah no, don't say that! I just started here, and am trying a challenge/posting a story for the first time. Hmmm... perhaps your words are a warning. As writers, is it still good to write the story for the story's sake? Do we have to have praise to keep it going? Is anyone reading it at all? I agree though, not getting…
  • I just had to stop and comment at the brilliance of this. Haven't tried the mod yet, but I love how you put in the detail of making sure the Sims in your towns have proper wizard names! That's brilliant! Did you build the randomizer yourself? I know that when I was creating my challenge…
  • Now that's a thought-provoking idea. It's inspiring when people take a basic idea that they personally like and turn it into a way that it can apply to more people and fandoms. An excellent suggestion to improve the 'sandbox' game that is the Sims! Me, I'm trying to use the Aliens concept in the "Let's get to Work"…
  • First, can I say creating a castle in a secret world is genius! I love the idea! Just a suggestion, but perhaps it would be interesting to create all your wizard characters as aliens? Then they'd have 'special powers' that the regular Sims don't, including being able to read minds, erase memories, and do secret handshakes.…
  • photo uploading Meet Lady Adelaide: A Hufflepuff and very practical, Lady Adelaide has had a hard life but she’s taken it in stride. She is the last ‘sane’ direct descendant of the FrothWraith line. There are some male third-cousins twice removed, but well, one’s in Askaban, and the others are best not spoken of. After…
  • I created these four unique alien Sims for my challenge: Wizards in the Muggle World. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/906019/wizards-in-the-muggle-world-challenge#latest Feel free to download and use them by locating them with the hashtag #wizardsinthemuggleworld image uploading
  • Sneak preview: Introducing my four chosen Wizards for the challenge! You can download them to your games at #wizardsinthemuggleworld In the next few days, I'm going to include biographies and screencaps as these intrepid Purebloods brave life in the muggle world and try to have the biggest families! imagehost
  • Update to this challenge! I realized I didn't include all 4 worlds that are included in the "Get to Work" expansion pack. Fixed now: the purple alien is supposed to live in Magnolia Promenade. The reason I had them each live in a different 'world' or 'neighborhood' is twofold: first, if they're looking for partners in…
  • Also @Typolandman189 I think your idea of the Chinese Zodiac sounds really fun! I'm planning to play this way. :D
  • I have a question regarding the households. As each household can only hold 8 Sims, and if a Sim is already pregant, his/her child counts as a Sim in the household, wouldn't it be impossible for some of the female Sims to get pregnant if others in their household already have? Say for example, that I play the female…
