Re: What's Happening in Your TS2 Challenge? Chat

Yay, Katri! It's really cool when you discover something you didn't know would work so well, like your family business :party2: Mesa Vista is making great progress, mainly due to new households popping up in Barren Springs. I've decided to have just a few businesses there. So far there's Picaso's Ge...

Re: Sparks Grove - A BACC - Update 11/08/2023

Wow, you update fast! I've been following Sparks Grove after reading in Chat that you lost your other BaCCs, of which I had started Ashen Valley early in September and really enjoyed how you set that one up. I love that you play so many animals, and of course the magnificent Bane <3 I didn't know th...

Woo Addie, leaving Uni for her Legacy lot in style! :#1:
Spoiler:
The streaker playing pool was a hoot.
Can't wait to see the points start to accumulate!

Re: The Graham Legacy (minimum commentary) [Nov 5 2023]

Hi Katri, so glad to catch the beginning of a Legacy from you! Looks like no handicaps, just straight scoring with EPs?

I'm really interested in seeing the points accumulate, and having pics for a visual is fun too.

Yay!

Thanks for commenting, Peachy and Katri!

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

100 community lots? Wow, that's a LOT. :faint: Congrats, that's quite the achievement in itself, and the population is impressive too! :applause: I was thinking about that and thought it seemed high, but then I remembered Agatha Crystalbotham owns 40 of them, and they will probably never be seen or...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Played the Outside household this weekend. Mom Ciel became a business tycoon on Tuesday, and their daughter Mina, a recent college grad, bought a kitchen supply store, making it the 100th community lot in Mesa Vista. Her brother Neil headed off to University, almost permaplat from lifetime aspiratio...

Mesa Vista's population is now 8968! :party: After the Nickel & Dimed household in Barren Springs, I added a Starving Artist challenge with a teen named Drew Stark. Then Chester Gieke, who surprised me by hooking up with a gal, Laila, that he met at Barren Creek Park. They got engaged, and then ...

Re: What's Going On In Your Game?

I just started my first Legacy (for points, of course) using Pinstar's Advanced rules, within Mesa Vista to push that along as well. I chose 5 handicaps, fairly easy ones for me, to hopefully get the "finish what you started" point: - eXtreme (naturally ;)) - start on a 5x6 lot, can't move...

Re: What's Going On In Your Game?

I'm playtesting a version of the Poverty Challenge by Pleasantsims here: https://pleasantsims.com/sims-2-poverty-challenge/ (She also has a Let's Play of it on her YouTube channel, which is informative and pretty hilarious to watch, although really time-consuming.) Basically, you start with a CAS Si...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

The thing that's more or less remained the same is the fact that you have to unlock CAS points. But here's the kicker: population isn't a thing in the TS4 version of the BaCC. In TS2, we keep working towards that (nearly impossible) 50,000, but in TS4 it's all about unlocking all of the different a...

Thanks, peachy! Thanks for the comment, Katri! Tracy's perseverance has definitely paid off! I don't have a specific plan for her after the challenge, as she has conveniently been so single-minded fixing up her grandparents' home. I'll see what she rolls after reaching her LTW, and next time she has...

Of course I would like to, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to do *everything* I'd like to do in Sims 2 :) This is an interesting concept, and it's nice having a quick way to get to k...
