I have been struggling to get invested into a legacy or challenge. My Babbling Brooks legacy is on the 7th generation and I need a break. I find myself jumping between challenges, starting new legacies, and starting over again and again and again.
Then, I read a mega challenge that was started by simfulicious. Her Montebelo Musings is several challenges played prosperity style with an end goal of completing all of the game achievements while also completing the various challenges. This got me thinking, and planning, and creating. While simfulicious is using 10 existing households, I am going to create my founders, mostly because I want to control the how they get started.

Oh, my...you have gotten on pretty far! I like how you organize your first post...I might have to do it that way. BTW, your link for Chapter 2 in the alien invasion isn't working...takes you to an unknown page.
I fixed the link to chapter of alien invasion. Formatting got messed up somehow.
I tend to start and quit them, so I waited to post until I felt I would maybe stick it out. I like changing houses - I don't get bored with any one challenge, because the next house is something different.
Toddlers a giant PITA! I wanted to thank you for sharing that you can make a sim "unplayable" I have been playing this game since day 1, and I never realized you could that! So now I am overhauling streamlining my town to only have challenge houses, except for the two that I have already played that are "normal"
I really love toddlers and am so looking forward to the new game pack. It is funny how some toddlers are so easy and then others constantly do things to get into trouble.
So many toddlers throughout the neighborhood! This looks like a lot of fun. I tend to get bored with long periods with the same family, so this might be something I'm interested in too. I am really enjoying this and can't wait for more.
That is my problem also - I get into a legacy or challenge and then want to try something but it doesn't fit the rules. So I end up quitting. I am hoping this one will keep me going longer - and if I get tired of one of the challenges, I can keep playing the others.
I don't have anything planned for this weekend, so I am hoping for a good solid play session and related updates.
It takes me about 3-4 playing hours to play a week + write the post. This 4th rotation might be a little weak as I am so excited about Parenthood, but I have a long weekend so I must play. I would like to install the game pack between rotations, so I need to get through all 6 houses by Tuesday morning. Bbut once it releases, I doubt I will wait if I am not close to finishing the rotation.
I am about to finish the 2nd house. The game crashed earlier and I lost 48 hours of game time and I am just getting back to where I was when it crashed. So I will probably be in the middle of the rotation - 3rd or 4th house. Doubt I will be able to continue playing once it has been released.
Glad to see you squeaked out a fourth rotation! I made it to the beginning of my 7th family, which is going to be my ALPHA/100GEN family. So if Parenthood had to be introduced mid rotation, this would be where I would want it to show up.
That 14 minutes was not spare as it ended up. After I posted the links here, I flipped over to Origin and it was already available. I just finished the Potter house week 5. But won't start Nom de Plume until tomorrow after work.
