@ewright9 I might be able to fit it a couple of "historical notes", but keeping the text relatively short and the challenge relatively simple is my priority Still, I very much appreciate all your input
EDIT: Did not expect the forums to censor the word for plucking a violin
I noticed that the stoves moved up but fridges were not. From what I remember, you cannot cook on a stove without a fridge. Or is there something I'm not thinking of? (Which I am prone to.)
Oh, no that's a minor derp on my part. The fridges go wherever the stove goes. I'll fix that right away. Thank you
@Cloudseeker Yep, I totally understand keeping it all short and easy to understand I just wanted to give you all the information I could so that you could pick and choose what to keep.
And yeah, I don't even know what there is to censor for p i z z i c a t o... lol

This is an updated photo! I've moved on to Early Civ and went with a Viking motif. Man Boulder and Woman Wolfe (My founders) are both elders now - I am looking at losing them soon and it's really hard to play, because I don't want them to leave me!
Gronk (The one sitting at the head chair) has married Star - and had a son, Ivar and two daughters: Freya and Gretchen. None of them have gotten Man's red hair and I am hoping it appears later in the family line. : D
I love, love the culture. I wish I could have found a fire pit for the middle that worked (The outdoor one kept burning things down.) I know it isn't perfect (In fact, I don't think I based it on a 'home' design) But, PSFT - whatever, I like it. Haha.
@Fayeli That looks like a longhouse to me, which was a multi-family home and a barn simultaneously, if I remember correctly How odd that the firepit should burn things down, did you make plenty of space around it? I believe the actual longhouses had enough space around their firepit even to dance around it
I had a stool that sat around it. It was what burned down - repeatedly. (Man is the Handy/Garden/Fishing dude, so he just kept making more.) After two of the spares were lit on fire, I would rather not risk it. My sims are apparently fools. I ended up putting a false one in with little deco bits around it. If it wasn't for that, they could walk completely around it.
The layout has four bedrooms and two bathing spaces. If you call the kids animals, then it also doubles as the barn! Hah. I figure since it is the founding household, they should have the largest home. Even though the bedrooms are very small - which I think is historically accurate, since all the 'living' took place around the fire. His other 6 kids and the rest of his grandkids have much smaller one/two room homes.
This challenge really has brought me back to the Sims - it is loads of fun. ♥
To those of you who are watching my LP of this challenge, I'm planning to record today but my game keeps minimizing itself to the desktop and that's screwing up my recordings. If anyone has any idea how to fix this issue, help is much appreciated! Otherwise, I might not get a new video up today

@Cloudseeker Yeah, I tried all those things. It's not just Sims that does this, it's all games. I got League of Legends to stop doing it by putting it in a frameless window format, so I'll try that with Sims too.

@ewright9 Ah, then it's some other program running on your computer that wants attention. Usually, that's antivirus programs that want to give you some sort of notification, so they tell Windows to put them in focus. I believe AVG likes to do this. Of course, it could also be Windows Update, or any other program that displays notifications. But indeed, putting it in frameless windowed should circumvent the problem, hopefully your recording program can still record if it's in frameless windowed
@Cloudseeker Hey so I think the issue I was having with the hyper speed not activating was some glitch for when Sims sleep in tents, maybe just the cheap tent. Anyway, I installed this mod to fix that issue and if other people are having that problem they can find it easily http://modthesims.info/d/533752

Things have finally seemed to have settled down in my life. I have managed to record some builds that will be going up soon and some episodes that will start off the new era in my game.. ^_^ I'm looking forward to being back.

I added a note about adding a public pool in the Getting Started section
The scoresheet has been updated accordingly.
