Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE

So I have a few questions - one in regards to the bad apple, and another in regards to the supernatural menagerie.

Bad apple question for consideration - can we spend the LTHP of a bad apple to get LTR before they move out to thus earn points off their general happiness in life - or are they expected to be blank?

Supernatural menagerie question I've been contemplating and am probably the only one because of my circumstances - I realized as I'm nearing the end of the challenge that I've got just a few more supernatural lifestates to collect, which shouldn't be bad, but my question is does this count as complete if say... I hit my 12 girls, I'm going to try for baby on the next one and end up with a boy and a girl and the girl (who is not part of the 12) gets one of the lifestates I needed to count towards this bonus?

I don't know if I was clear or not, I'm closer to completing girls than I am boys right now (though only by one); and I've got roughly 3 pregnancies left if I line this up right. I'm aiming for ghost/human/mermaid/genie as my last 4 kiddos (I've got 5 kids needed left) but what happens if one of those kiddos is a duplicate/extra? Does it still count?

So, while I was playing today to get the next chapter going, my entire game crashed.

I lost earning a lot of money, building their house, and a second child. I'm a little bit distressed unfortunately!

No that's the worst! I've been fighting some crashes too, and it's terrible!

If this is for your Sims 3 games, I recommend the NRAAS Saver, it's saved my butt several times with reminding me to save frequently.
If you don't use mods, there's a cheat called "resetSim *" (using the asterisk) which resets every sim in town which is helpful sometimes when stuck sims bog down your neighborhood. Otherwise there's a save cleaner and NRAAS's master controller "reset everything."

Gotta do what we gotta do to keep our game running.

I highly recommend NRAAS mods for ease of use/maintaining games. I use Overwatch and Errortrap to keep my files from bloating (they'll fix stuck sims, clean inventories of non-household townies, etc), I use the Master Controller hard reset when my Sims don't want to age up properly (which has plagued this file of mine ridiculously) and I use saver to keep me saving! When saver prompts you to save though, as a warning (I found this out the hard way) DON'T save during Build/Buy mode or during times when you know the game would probably choke (like right before/after birthdays). It's job is to prompt you as soon as it feels able, but that doesn't always mean YOU'RE at a good time to save, lol!

Good luck with your file, and let me know if I can help any further! Sims 3 is my baby and I've learned quite a few tricks to get it to do what I need it to. XD

I'm pretty much the same, though with updates I need two children of one gender; the other is complete. Gameplay, the final child has just aged up to teen! I'm trying not to play anymore until I catch up on updates, would like to post the final chapter close to the gameplay finish.

And Livvie, wow, you're cranking out the updates! You're going to outpace snazzle and myself pretty quickly.

I didn't mean to take such a long break from playing my Baby Boomer family, but I've finally got a new update after two months.

I use wordpress.com for my story and just load the pics up to there. You get quite a bit of storage with the free sites. I'm almost at the end of this challenge and still using less than half of the storage available. :)

I got a new update out this morning: https://multiplyingmurdles.wordpress.co ... -that-guy/

Hey AuliesWORLD! I can't answer your Sims 4 question, but I use Blogger, which has unlimited free storage for pictures through google photos, so that's worth a shot. Good luck with your challenge!

Auliesworld: I think you can go into build/buy and put it in the search bar. I think that's how I found it.

I am back and have Chapter 10!
