The Going Solo Challenge (main) Updated to include TS4

Comments
update 2
update 3
So....I apparently lost the stats so they're not listed at the bottom. I've lost all of the information on my computer and transferred the stuff too many times to even figure out where it would have gone.
Update three is the end of the challenge though. Next I'm either going to work on their actually story or start working on A Clockwork Heart or Dreki Seidr.
Also, since I know a lot of people will be busy or gone for the next little while because of the holidays, I'd greatly appreciate if we didn't discuss the winners on here until everyone has had a chance to read it. I'll catch up with the comments in the next few days.
I hope everyone had a great evening!
@french_vanilla13 I'm looking forward to reading the bachelor challenge
@LittleMinxUndr The house that you are making for your new story is beautiful

I passed my assessment but twisted my knee in an accident... That's about life, isn't it? LOL. Well, it's not that bad, I got my promotion anyway. I'm just grounded for a few months. I shall return to my flights by April.
I haven't been playing Sims since I started preparing myself to that assessment. I plan to get back to my stories on January.
I hope you enjoyed Christmas Eve and I wish all the best for 2016! All the best to you all!!!

I'm decorating Cold Harbor and am making some progress there. It's definately easier to approach Going Solo as a rags to riches kind of thing, as the house they live in becomes more organically personal. On the other hand, since I wanted Cold Harbor to be steeped into the history of my Nephalim-universe, there is simply no way to do it otherwise. A place that you see grow during the story can impossibly have a deep history and age old legends attached to it.
So here's a screenie of the second floor landing that is meant to enforce the fact that the old mansion has roots deeply tucked away in a history every Sim thinks is mere fiction. No Sim ever saw a Nephalim and if they did, they wouldn't know they've ever met one.
According to the Vampires of Clan Sanquine this depicts the Daughter of the Blood, the chosen one who'll end the reign of the Nephalim and will set Simmity onto a course free of nephalimic manupilation. The Lycans believe that the Vampires of Clan Sanquine are mistaken. To them, the fact that the Daughter of the Blood is flanked by four Dragons can only mean that one the day that the four winds will blow in unison, the Lycans will be re-united with their Guardian-patroness Luposa and she will lead them to final victory over the Vampires.
Historians who out of interest approach the Nephalim-idea semi-seriously theorize that the tableau merely depicts what it is meant to depict, the Nephalim Vuneca during her exile under the vulcano that became known as Mount Vuneca, in hiding from the four riders of the Apocalypse, Pestilence, Famine, Conquest and Death, who were oftenly symbolized as Dragons because Dragons are believed to eat worlds in ancient texts.
What no one can figure out though is why the tableau was installed in a mansion that pre-dates the founding of Moonlight Falls, and why the mansion was called Cold Harbor. There must be some significance there...
But Cold Harbor is not only of interest to the Vampires and the Lycans. The Mage's Council and by extension Eleanor Wasimton are maintaining ties with the mansion. Polaris, those enigmatic Simminati, are rumored to have interest in the mansion too. And then there's Boudica, future mistress of Cold Harbor, who's a vunecan-pollinated. Have the four friends of the Original One Hundred set another one of their spiels in motion?
Does that mean that all of this links back to... Chandell?
(The TS3 story takes place before the Cataclysm in the TS4 story.)
First floor is done!
It has the premium-content from the Green House store-content included and I have drawn from my entire TS3 collection of goods. So once the Mansion is in my studio and you grab it for yourself, be ready for it to not look like this in your game. The only two people I can think of who'll be able to 1:1 download it once done are Pi and Vanessa. :'/
That view!
The view from the bathtub is amazing and you'll realize that you've been taking too long bathing once the bathwater has gone cold and you're about to show signs of hypothermia.
Second floor is done!
Master- and guest bedrooms and the children-wing. Now All that's left is the Loft, where the current leading gen has their stuff. Right now, it'll be Bram Nocturne's base of operations, but he won't live forever. (I hope, for Boudica's sake.)
@Jazen That happened to me too the last time I was in a clone file. Holly and Emmett decided to get pregnant in the clone file and I will always wonder how that baby turned out. Well anyways I bet Grace and Jonas will be populating your town with more babies soon enough in the main file.
Bae does look more like Chrissie but I can see Mickey in him too now that he is a teenager.
Hoping your trip to AZ is fun and that you are enjoying the holidays.
@Shafer249 Oh Look at Baby Flynn! The Burnbright Eyes are still strong and he is turning out to be a cutie. I look forward to seeing him age up.
@sweetnightingale Yes Alina looked very beautiful in her wedding dress and I loved the wedding venue. Thank you so much for the gifts that you sent.
@french_vanilla13 After I post this I am planning on reading your bachelor challenge and getting caught up with everything here now that everything has settled down with my job.
Edit-I just finished reading the challenge and I love it and I absolutely love the relationship between the two sister. They act just like real sisters would
@ELIROC I'm so sorry to hear about your knee but very happy to hear about your promotion! Congratulations!
@LittleMinxUndr Love the house and you are right I do have the Greenhouse items from the store.

It is in my studio here: Cold Harbor
Here's the loft, where ancient knowledge is locked away. Will Boudica or her descendants ever be able to decypher the secrets of the loft, where people have spend centuries fruitless before?
The outside of Cold Harbor at night:
Cold Harbor has a cellar, and right now it is empty apart from the beginnings of an indoor swimmingpool and a yakuzi, but since I have plans there with CC and stuff that can't be uploaded with Cold Harbor, I left the cellar for people to do with as they please. Mostly though, It'll be a place to store collections and such and I have no plans to extensively feature the cellar anyway.
Right now I'm debating on whether or not I should rebuild Wasimton Point. For canon and continuity, it would be nice for the landmark to be there, especially since I have plans to cameo Eleanor a few times. On the other hand, would people miss the place during the story as out and about scenes don't show it?
Decisions!
Anyway, for those that download Cold Harbor, have fun with it!
@Piazzagirl1015 Thanks, that's actually exactly how me and my sister act. Although she's Isolde and I'm Lenore.
Every year my mom gets the pair of us something with the naughty and nice thing on it and every year she always takes the naughty one. She fights me over it too, lol.
@MischiefTheKitten I am so happy you're continuing your baby challenge. I read and commented until I started getting the error I usually get from your wordpress. >_< It hates me I swear
@ELIROC Nice to see you. Congrats on your promotion! that's exciting stuff. Sorry to hear about your knee, I hope it heals quickly.
@french_vanilla13 I am so behind on ALL of your stories! I need to just open them all up and go through them. I feel left out, ha.
@LittleMinxUndr WOW! the house looks great!! really great! I will rec'd and DL now that you have it on the exchange :-) I can't wait for updates on both of your stories now....You're not giving up on TS4 already are you?
@Piazzagirl1015 HI there! Have you recovered from all your long hours at work?
@sweetnightingale I am also super behind on all of yours. I started go back through them from the very beginning with Lenora's bachelorette challenge but got distracted.....*opens up in a tab*
All-
I had an excellent Christmas and I hope you did too. My comp seems to be back up and running great now that I have figured out windows 10 and how to go back and forth to my solid state drive. I have been going through all my various games to makes sure things are linking up right and are playable. but I have barely spent any time on my very fast computer this week between work and my kids new obsession with Pokemon playing cards. I have had to learn how to play and may or may not have created a couple of decks for myself.......

Hey, I still have Pokemon playing cards.....although I'm a bonafide geek according to my sibs. Sounds like a great Christmas though.
@Vuneca Yes I'm recovering starting this week from all the crazy hours and they actually gave me three days off this week. Glad to hear that you had a great holiday and that you figured out Windows 10. I'm still too chicken to make the change myself I'll probably wait for my nephew to work on it.

~MischiefTheKitten
Happy 2016 and may only the best of things befall ya!
Aside: I have checked my studio, and certain buildings like Piazza's PI and the Simton Ministry 24H Wedding Chapell aswell as the Mattpad are still available there. (Also, Eleanor's original City-depot that later became Wasimton Point and her waterline-house in Isla Paradiso). So if you're still looking for some builds in your TS3 game, take a look at my studio if you like.
The Auboriginal Community Center is still there too.
If you're looking for some extra TS3 Sims, Garth Wasimton, the Simcity Marine with honor and principles and Eleanor's father is up for adoption. In all these years, the poor guy was only embraced 27 times... There are others there too, some you might remember, some you might dislike (if you're aware of my stories), but all of them will brighten up your TS3-world! ^^
And did you know that you can't say s.tilt on here? I used to be very good on s.tilts as a kid. o.0
I'm always looking for new sims for my towns, will definitely take a look at your studio

@Piazzagirl1015 And to you, PG!! Hope your festive days were good ones
@Everyone The new year seems like a good time to update you all on my plans for this year. First I'll finish my mature 'legacy' The 7 Fates of Night, then I'll focus on finishing my rainbowcy (there'll only be one generation left after Rainy) and then I can really focus on my Challenges here, with you guys
Hope you guys got through the holidays well
~MischiefTheKitten
Happy New Year everyone.
Edit: I should probably explain the picture. Last year I found it on Facebook and I started writing a page every day until the end of the year. Which I'm going to do again. Just a short story a day for a whole year in my case. I'm going to do the same thing again this year but it's my New Year's post.
