A Random Apocalypse

Post by Rflong7 »

Hi! :pan:

Yep, Another Apocalypse ... I still Love starting Apocalypse challenges. I only hope I enjoy finishing this one as much. :haha:
Anyway, I haven't moved on to TS4 yet and I still enjoy playing TS2 so I started my Challenge Neighborhood....

I read an Awesome Apocalypse *( Lark's Bass-Ackwards Apocalypse) which was played in order of votes for the most important lifts. The Player turned the list around and went from least important to most important. I applaud them their bravery, their commitment, their loss of hair from the stress! :popeye:

This is the worst that I could commit to- A Random Apocalypse.
I used Microsoft Excel to mix them up... it did take a few tries to get one that would work (Education/Law just can't be last and Criminal can't be too high). :begging:

My Restriction Lift Order List :
(the red dots show careers which have to be moved lower because of another restriction [Education])
Spoiler:
Image
My Founder... I made him before the list so I wasn't sure what to give him in Personality or Name. It only I had waited... :sigh:
Since I'm doing a Random Handicap (-10 weeks) along side an Adult Start (-5 weeks), I've chosen to use only 1 Advantage, the Lucky Discovery (+1 week).

Image
I really thought Medical would be near the bottom or middle at least. :bounce:

Chapters

Generation 1- 1:1 / 1:2 / 1:3 / 1:4 / 1:5 / 1:6 / 1:7
* 1:7 Updated May 3 :)

Generation 2 - 2:1 / 2:2 / 2:3 / 2:4 *Updated May 3 :)

Lifts-
Spoiler:
1. Culinary/Hopelessness (Max)
2. Pet Service (Sheba)
3. Pet Showbiz (Rover)
4. Pet Security (Kobe)
5. Medical (Lyndsay)
6. Architecture (Dianna)
7. Law (Lianna)
Spoiler:
I'm using the Advantages/Handicaps linked Here
Advantages-
(+1 wk) LUCKY DISCOVERY
(+5 wks) ANIMAL HERO Forgot I chose it. :(

Handicaps-
(-10 wks) Random Lifts
(-5 wks) Adult Start
(-1 wk) Muggle World
(-1 wk) Sardine Can

I get to subtract 16* weeks from the total... which I can't help but keep since I always write by the week and section off the pictures. XD


Thanks for the Support. I very much want to finish this one. :cookie: :coffee:
Happy Simming! :hug:

You know taking the lifts and putting them into the random.org site list maker would have made it easier. :whistle: Other than that, Kaylynn is a Family sim and her want for me was to Marry off Six Kids. She was my unpublished Alphabetacy spouse. Let's hope this time it makes it to the end. :thup:

In regards to who wrote that apocalypse:
Spoiler:
I read an Awesome Apocalypse (can't remember the name) which was played in order of votes for the most important lifts. The Player turned the list around and went from least important to most important.
That was Lark's Bass-Ackwards Apocalypse, I think.
In regards to your update:
Spoiler:
You've made me want to play apocalypse again :D! You got quite lucky, pulling culinary out first - it's one of the restrictions I try to lift quite early on. And medicine - I do not miss sponge baths one bit! Also, Max is cute, and I can't wait to see who he marries!
Looking forward to more :D

Hi, Ani Mei! :cookie:

I didn't know that! Thanks I'll check out the site for the next random challenge. :D

Is that her name? I hope she doesn't want that- I also have the LTW variety mod installed. Hope that's okay. Maybe I should take that out when I play them... or is it too late and she has one already? -probably.

*fingers crossed! :begging:

Hi, Sam! :cookie:

Thanks, that's the one- Awesome. I'll put it in the OP.

Lol! :angel:
I don't normally worry about Culinary so it'll kinda weird for them to have food so early.
I had one roll where it made it way too easy- I redid that one (Gamer/intell/Education/Adventure/Music... it would have been a breeze.

Normally I play Neat Sims so they wash hands better, this seemed like something new for me.

Thank you both so much for replying. :smore:

The roach can, bane of Apocalypse founders everywhere.
Spoiler:
Adding that AL trash chute eliminates the need for the trashcan. Or I just put it on a single square of foundation and no one bothers it, they get all stompy-wavy about how they can't reach it to kick it over. Come to think of it, I never had roaches in my Apocalypse...and I didn't use that chute or move the can either. Good thing about male founders, no worries about baby making days dwindling. :thup: Nice chappie.

Hi, Ani-Mei & Iya :cookie:

Thanks very much for reading and commenting. :goodvibes:

So, true, Ani-Mei - I love that chute. :haha:
In other Challenges the trash can be composed and then it's fine for trashcan kickers.

I was going to let him decide, Iya, but I changed my mine. He didn't get any wants for them so maybe he'll be happy with the one I chose - I hope. :heart:

Great start!
Spoiler:
I'm so envious of people who can lift Hopelessness in an Adult Start - at least, I didn't see Max at Uni beforehand? I've also heard Culinary is extra difficult in one due to low pay and the computer requirement to build Creativity.
I look forward to seeing how it goes for you and Max :)

Hi, Lorinsv :)

Thanks for readiong!

Nope, he didn't go to Uni.
It's expensive but they don't need the one creativity until the 3rd promotion. They get money in promotions and if they sell a few things in Build mode. (I know only two a day buy or sell total)
It works well if they don't spend it early. I've played it as an adult extreme so this feels like they have lots of money. :bounce:

Yay! Updated- Chapter 1:3

Poor Max, he looked so sad and lonely in that one pic.
It is always nice to have love options! Both of the ones I have noticed are really pretty!
Yay for lifting hopelessness and being able to cook real food! The networking really served him well!

Bet that's a relief, it just seems to take so long at the beginning doesn't it? Longer still when you have to wait for teens to grow up so they can get restrictions done without having college to go to. >_< Thankfully next generation for me is the first one for college. *dances* Nice chappie.

Great job!
Spoiler:
I love the update. Must be very frustrating, isn't it? All that restrictions. :haha: I'll drive me crazy before the 1st Hopelessness is lifted. Hadn't tried the challenge yet but I heard that it's fun but brutal on the mind. :hmm:

Hi :mrgreen:

Thanks so much for commenting. :hugs:

@Jenn
Thanks! :donut:
I did have him greet with the ... Apartment greetings as much as I could. I was thinking it would have been a day or two more if he didn't get it. Maybe before he aged to an Elder. So glad the NW showed up. :bounce:

@Ani-Mei :pizza:
Oh, yes, it was a relief. :bounce:
Yay~ for you and your Sims! :thup:

@Iya"
Thanks! :cookie:
You're right and the hardest is coming up...*after he gets a wife* is when the children can't take baths/showers. At least I think so. :popeye:

@rosssinant :smore:
Thanks! I picked the face with the ears and worked from there. Lol~I don't know why I wanted him to have different ears. :goodvibes:

Well done! Wow, two networking promotions. Maybe that's what I've been missing, because I've never gotten one in my Adult Start attempts.
I always forget about setting the big objects on fire! :thup:
Congrats for getting Pet Service out of the way!
It looks like you're allowing candles in the Lighting tab?
Anyway, great job, you make it look easy!

Hi :cookie: :coffee:

Thanks! :cookie:
Spoiler:
I was very surprised with them but I do try for the Network promotions for here. :D
I had to use candles with the lighting mods it was way too dark. :)

It's getting much harder with dirty children. :mutter: :shhh:
