Miles and Miles to Go, Completed Jan 1, 2016

Post by Teresa »

My current (revived) Differences in the Family Tree attempt. It is very possible this will be my last Sims 3 challenge attempt. We will see how this progresses…
A Sims 3 challenge, Difference in the Family Tree -otherwise known as DITFT- is a fifteen generation challenge (with an optional 16th gen that is the 'supernatural' creatures so those whom don't wish to deal with them don't have to) that takes aspects of the Sims3 game and challenges you to try out new things. It has different paths for each generation for replay value and for those whom don't, can't, or would much rather play it their way. Feel free to randomize generations.

Miles is coming back, probably this week, and will have an update in a few days. I actually opened the game yesterday to make sure the save file was still good, but now I need to read up on where the family is at. Generation 7 O.O

Oooh, this makes me want to play my DITFT again! I started one aaages ago when I first got TS3, and I'm now up to generation 8 or 9, I think. Haven't played it in a few months, though. I think I took pictures of every generation (and some more random pics as well), so thank you for the idea to just do one update per generation! I want that medal now, haha!

Are you using different rules than the original one? Since you're using a different order (except for the first generation). Anyways, I love it! It's so much fun to see the genertics through the generations :)

The rules I use are whatever are posted on the official challenge blog at the point I start each generation. But since I started two years ago, there have been many changes over the time so I would add the new rules into a future generation, and group like with like as best possible. I set up my own order to keep the total generations at 15.

It was way too many animals. I may never play with Pets again, but darn it I did it without killing any of them. :)

Generation 10 is in process. The family just moved from Monte Vista, which I love but has too many glitches, to Roaring Heights, where hopefully Penny can finish her story.

School, the return of my daughter, back to working full-time, and playing Star Trek Online, has slowed me down. But... This is the 10th generation and there are only five more after Penny so my goal is to complete one generation a month, and finish the story by May (fingers crossed). I have never played a single challenge for this length of time (started in October 2012) and I am determined to finish this one.
