Setting up "I Love Old People" challenge

 Setting up "I Love Old People" challenge

Here is the retirement home I built for the challenge.  It will be uploaded to Exchange soon.  It features one unfurnished apartment for the caretakers (big enough to expand when the kids come along), 5 furnished, bland-but-comfortable rooms for the clients, an activities/recreation room, dining room, chapel, fenced outdoor area, garage with van for outings, and a few other common areas for the Sims to congregate. 






It turned out to be three floors high as I needed room for at least 5 rooms; plus this gives me an upstairs for the caretaker family to develop as their family grows and they develop hobbies or at home businesses.

Meet the residents:


Eric and Amelia Barney are the young adult caretakers. Eric's trait include slob, avant garde, excitable, never nude, and animal lover.  His goal is to be "Street Credible." Amelia is insane, eccentric, has a good sense of humor and star quality, and is charismatic.  Her goal is to be a "Blog Artist." Perhaps she will blog about life at Shady Acres Retirement Home. 


Sorry, these pictures were taken in the evening. Left to right: Dara Wahl is adventurous, absent-minded, flirty, friendly, and a party animal.  Her lifetime goal is to be a "heartbreaker."  Amir Wilburn is a couch potato and computer whiz.  He is also a genius and is neat, possessing a photographer's eye.  He wants to be a "chess legend." Heather Meeks is dramatic, hot-headed, lucky, and is both a hopeless romantic and schmoozer. She wants to be a "celebrity psychic." 


Darron Clement (left) is unstable, hydrophobic, good, never nude, and a party animal.  Like Amir, he also wants to be a "chess legend" so we may get some friendly or not-so-friendly competition going. Shawn Overton (right) is one to look out for.  He's a neurotic, grumpy, mean-spirited diva who is also a kleptomaniac and has the "possession is nine tenths of the law" lifetime goal. Things got off to a fun start and the dynamics are coming to light already.  Stay tuned.

Tiny Town Challenge Part 1

Image
 I started my version of Deligracy's Tiny Town Challenge. Hers is for the Sims 4, so I had to adapt it. I also created a Builders Version, but I'm trying the gameplay version. Here are the rules. MODIFIED TINY TOWN CHALLENGE The aim of this challenge is to build 7 tiny homes on one lot, for 7 sims that match their desires and skills. The Rundown: - Each sim has a set skill that you must utilize in order to fund their tiny home build. For example Frank Stem likes gardening, so you must sell things he grows to fund his Tiny House build.  - You must also represent each sim's favorite style and color in the build (see sim characters below) - You can only work on one sim's house at a time, move each sim in individually as you "unlock" them.  -To "unlock" the next sim, you must complete the previous sim's home.  How to play: - Start by moving your first sim into the Tiny Town lot. (64x64 size recommended.) - To select your first sim, you could use an ...

LEPacy challenge: Generation 9 - Gains teens - continued renovations to Roseward.

Image
 My game has crashed twice because I get wrapped up in the game play and building and forget to save regularly. I hope I didn't lose too much progress. I'll start this post with Fluff's graduation and the Gains family vacation to Egypt. I posted these on Facebook already, but I also wanted them here. I discovered that the option to "turn into toy form" did not make the imaginary friends unplayable like a ghost choosing to return to the dead. Instead they turn into the walking around kind. Both Snuggles and Fluffs wanted to go to Egypt, so after Fluff graduated, that's what the entire family did - except Simicon and the dog. Fluff graduated at the courthouse as in all games. I had put a jynx rug inside the blacked out shell. Later I changed the blacked out part to an interior with floors and walls - not yet furnished.  Gina has a crush of Fluffs, but now that he's a young adult, he can't be romantically involved with her. Gustav spied Raul Hearn, (the D...
