The one after the long absence

Okay - I told you id be bad at this!!!


I also have ditched the immortal sims challenge.  I was absent from it too long and well I forgot were I was going with it.

I decided though that I would challenge myself to a) create a generation of Sims (to earn the Generation trophy), b) see how long i can keep my original Sim alive using the cow plant (and sacrificing children and/or their spouses (or her lovers), c) experiment with how far removed from her her descendants need to be for her to be able to flirt with them and lastly d) see her have a romantic relationship with all her children's romantic partners.

For my own well-being I will probably only have 3-4 sims in the house for my own sanity (since i had trouble controlling the sisters). '

I will upload pictures tomorrow or Sunday (25.6.16 - 26.5.16 AEST).

Bye :)

The Begining of the Sims Four Immortal Sims Challange.

Here is the link once again for the the challenge (As I most definitely do not have the chops to write one of my own).

So these are my sisters - keeping in the theme of things they are named, quite unoriginal I might add,  after something pertaining to the element.

My fire sister and baby maker: Flame  Sprite
I did make one change (I actually made a few but I'll address them as they come up).  I replaced the hates children trait with non-committal. I figured I could get more form her with that trait and it'll make it easier and more rewarding for her to go out on the prowl.

 Her apartment has a fireplace and a bar just like the challenge asked for, but because I LIKE luxury (and in the Sims 4 the Sims are  already way to hard to keep happy as is) I gave them a lot of extra pretty things. I kept to the Reds and blacks reminiscent of fire, because it helps me to keep track of whose who.

Next up is the water sister and housekeeper: Wave.

She is, as stated by the challenge, the one in charge of the cooking, cleaning, maintenance and the child rearing.  Her traits and aspirations are as stated by the challenge.

 For her outfit I chose the floral dress and flat shoes.  I felt that makes her look somewhat like a mother figure/child minder. I also opted to have a short hair cut figuring that with all the cooking cleaning and running around she would loathe the long hair (having recently chopped mine off because of little hands pulling at it all the time I can relate).

Her section of the house also meets the requirements for the most part. Like I said I make them pretty for the mood boost I added a TV to aid her in the learning to cook department of her designated chores.  I also kept it very blue for the water.

 Now for the smart, logical, creative I-will-probably-bring-in-all-the-money-with-my-skills air sister, Wind.

For her I channelled every nerd geek cliché i could think of (sticking as much as possible to a white/blue colour scheme).  Her hair is custom content from either Mod the Sims or The Sims Resource (I have no clue which one it was now - but just know its not mine or from any of the sims games).

Her section of the house is probably the biggest and most expensive (science costs way too much).  It has a white theme as well.  I dont know if its allowed but, I did it anyway, she has all the big sciencey equipment including the rocket.  Cow plants are very hard to find, and the rocket is one of the only ways to get it.
I she has the computer as well and an easel and all that jazz.  

And the final sister Flower.

She is my favourite - not sure why - but I really do love her the best.  In the couple of hours that I have played the sisters, her and Flame are the ones I play the most. Its probably because at this stage - and because of their particular traits - they are the two that I require the most at the moment.  (Flame for the babies.relationships and Flower for the resources and the cow plant seeds - through grafting or fishing). 
Her look is very athletic - hair pulled back boots rather than the heels that Flame wears and very practical jeans.  She is exactly like the rules stipulate I chose a free lance botanist aspiration (since it focuses mostly on her garden).  Like I said she is the one that I am most enjoying. Probably because I haven't really focused much on collecting or gardening while playing the Sims before.      

For her area its mostly green. There is also a LOT of trees.greenery.  Her room is pretty much all windows (mostly because I wasn't sure she would sleep if she was out side). She has a treadmill, workout machine, boxing bag and mediation stuff.  Okay - this is an obvious deviation because the wellness skill wasn't listed in the rules, I made a judgement call and put them for her (even though it focuses her rather than energises) it just struck me as a earth loving, active persons pursuit.  ALTHOUGH, I think I could make it something for all of them to do - but we will see.  And yes the pool is an obvious luxury item but its a very good way for her to build her fitness and have fun so I am keeping it.


I have choose to put the whole 'populate the town' goal on hold for the moment. As I mentioned this Sims is probably the hardest version to make friends and actually acquiring one cow plant is difficult enough, but having to acquire four will take a bit. It is also a useful tool to get my Fire sim in a good social position to - well lets say, seduce - the male population in a less time consuming manner.  As of the moment I am trying to avoid completing Flames aspiration because I don't think that there is an alternative to hers (or Waves). 

So that's my set up for the challenge. There is an exterior shot of my Sims home (Not in the gallery but I can/will/probably put it in a later date). My family is in the gallery.  Hopefully there will be more news in the next week.

House hold: 
Children: 
Teenagers: 
 Sisters:  

Other semi important stats:

Cowplants: 1 seed
Neighbours Seduced: 1
Neighbours Murdered: 0
Babies birthed: 0
Children died: 0


I also chose NOT to abide by the 'roughly 1,000 dollars'  thing because, well just look.
 

So yeah.  Bye!

The First.......

Hi,

I started this blog in an attempt to entertain myself. Seriously.  And maybe my friends and family - if they happen across it and the Sims 4 community. Since that is why I started this.

I am an avid Sims player have been for years. And since I hate the sound of my voice on tape or video (and I have NO IDEA how I would capture game play and entertain the masses listening) i have opted for this medium.  I will not be discussing anything about me - no bitchy rants about how sucky my life is - the only thing that is really life is my name, because I didn't have the hindsight to change it.    

There may also be the odd TV, Book or movie rant (but I probably wont set out to do that.)

I have never done a Sims Challenge but have chosen to do the Four Immortal Sisters.You can read the rules and such there.  I will post all the details when I do them. With pictures.

Don't be too harsh on me.  Ask me anything and hopefully I wont forget about this like I did the last time I tried.
