FAMILY TREE

RULES BROKEN

Eh, it's probably bad I have to make this. But it's not because I broke them intentionally; I did it in all cases by accident and I intend to fix it :P
  • Kali's culinary lift: Was illegal. She walked to work when pregnant, which is restricted by military (thanks Lorinsv for pointing it out!), so I've decided to do the right thing and re-restrict culinary.
    *Petra's medical lift: Was also illegal. She walked to work when pregnant. I realized this just now, while reviewing older chapters... she walked to work on the day of her final promotion. I'm not going to do the same thing; if I did the challenge wouldn't be fun anymore :P For medical what I'm going to do is keep the unlock, but require another person to unlock it in order to complete the challenge. In other words, I'm going to keep all the benefits of unlocking the medical career, but in order for myself to say I've won the Apocalypse I'll have to spend a Sim on unlocking the career (as their one unlock). While this probably removes me from the "strict rule-follower" department of Apocalypse players, I think I can still be fine in the "has broken the rules once and kind of didn't do all he should have to fix it but he's going on anyway but yeah now he follows the rules completely again" category :P

New chapter! I haven't given up, despite very good tries by our ghostly friends and such... :duck:

Responses to comments from old Boolprop:
The old comments wrote:Keika:
Spoiler:
Hey! Wow! Nobody died in this chapter! :D

Kali's a celebrity chef (hilarious captions for her promotions, by the way), they have twins... things are looking up! In fact... now I'm worried. :?

Great chapter!! :biggrin:
Taube:
Spoiler:
I just got caught up and I'm really enjoying this! I can't believe some of the bad luck you've had with deaths, but they do make for entertaining reading! I tried an apocalypse once and I quickly got frustrated, so I really admire anyone that tries it. I like the elaborate backstory you have going as well. I'm looking forward to reading more!
Pony:
Spoiler:
Finally caught up. Oh wow you've had a tough time. You haven't had a generation go by without losing someone early. Wow, I would've given up but you've just pressed on. This is amazing. Poor Iggy and Kali just making the best of it. Thankfully they can eat whenever now, makes things somewhat easier. I love the way you've written this for different points of view. Helps really get into the story. That's a lot of weeds O.O, I never realized they could get so out of hand. I can't wait for more!
Keika: What a rare occurrence! Well, read the new chapter and it'll fulfill typical Yadreni expectations, I'm sure :P

Taube: Entertaining reading as well as entertaining playing (however sad and difficult) :P It's definitely the most difficult challenge I've done... but that keeps me playing it :P Thank you so much for reading!

Pony: Haha, yeeeaah. Thanks :) Won't say anything about food except read the new chapter xD Thank you for reading!!

Thanks everyone for reading!!! I love this family and I'm determined to win this dang challenge, despite having like 10 less restrictions lifted than other apocs at this point in the family tree :P

You managed to make a generation without ghost deaths, although the fubar in Culinary may make that happen again. :pan: Although the girls are cute and you got lucky with custom hair which makes me :mutter: I have to wait until generation 5 to get that remedied. Nice chapter anyway. :thup:

Spoiler:
No ghost deaths! In like three whole chapters! It kind of scares me, because you know your ghosts are too mean to let that continue to be true. I'm proud of Gideon, and at least he got treats for a little while.


I know who I'm going to head over and vote for, ones got a *lot* of personality and will probably be fun to write, there was no need to threaten me, I was going! <pout>

Hate to ask, but do you know where Alyssa's hair came from? That's gorgeous.

Jendra:
Spoiler:
I know, they've been super lucky :eek: It has been a bit easier since lifting Adventure because of the energizer and the statue reward. A lot of time went by undocumented because I had them skilling, making friends, writing novels or just plain old sitting in the kitchen/main room next to Jumbok :P The ghosts still came out but even when there were times that could almost be considered close calls, there was the energizer (and thankfully no one had ghost fears when this happened). That's why I called the chapter Tedious Teens, haha :P
But yeah, I'm just hoping I can keep this up at least until each of them has topped their career of choice. In fact, if they all live and the heiress has tons of kids, a spare or two might visit the cow plant :shifty:
That was long xD And sorry for the assertiveness of the agents. What is one to do :P
And her hair is from Coolsims; I'm on my phone right now but I found her hair earlier on page nine of the sims 2 hair section :)

Spoiler:
I liked the last two chapters a lot. I hope the recent run of good luck continues! The girls are all very interesting but I like Alyssa best, so that's who I voted for. Sims cheating at chess just cracks me up, and I know mean sims have a lot of other great interactions that should be fun to write for. I really liked the picture of the three girls when they were children vying for space and Kali telling them what they needed to lift. Hee. Best of luck on that.

Great chapters!
Spoiler:
I loves me an Apocalypse riddled with ghosts! :yes:
It's fun reading from snarky Alyssa's POV. Is Evan slated to lift Athletic?
Good job, Meredith!
If Eleanor lifts Law, Slacker would be a good companion lift.
Anyway, I love your Apocalypse!

Uh-oh... I missed the second heir poll... I might need to, I don't know, go into hiding...

Alyssa is hilarious! XD I adore her version of love--seeing someone she thinks is cute, which she is irritated by because she considers love a weakness, and promptly claims to "hate" him... XD Genius!

Sorry to hear about Kali's accidental rule break. Shame on her, tracking radioactive material and bits of rotting flesh into the food source! At least you've got the energizers, right?

Good luck with the rest of this! Looks like you're finally starting to be able to hit a sweet spot--none of the playables died by ghost in the last few chapters. Looking forward to the next one! :D

Great chapter! Alyssa is so funny; I'm glad she won. You're writing her really well. :D Her reactions to everything just crack me up, but she does seem to have a soft spot ... well, er, softer ... for the dog. Things seem to be going really well, despite the two townie deaths. Knock on wood that it continues!

New chapter! File 14. Yadreni Law. It should be fun :P
Note in regards to this chapter, you'll see my posebox shelf thingy because I was too lazy to move it. I don't think I've even used it once so far, but I like having them on every lot I play :shifty:

Thank you all so much for your comments!! I'll respond to them later today, as it's just after 5:30 am so I maybe should go to bed soon :')

Alyssa needs to watch out, or that government agent that was feeding her dog treats might come after her. Does she really think she's going to get away with conquering Psveurtske? (Is that how you spell it?)

Anyway, great chapter! Poor Eleanor, but really, in a practical view of events, her usefulness was expired, and so she expired to make it so Alyssa had more time to have kids. ...still sad, though. It makes sense, but it's sad.

Good luck against the government, Alyssa!
