Re: Mesa Vista - My BaCC for fun: Week 6-9 (Mar 11 2023) 7194

Thanks, peachy! Thanks for the comment, Katri! Tracy's perseverance has definitely paid off! I don't have a specific plan for her after the challenge, as she has conveniently been so single-minded fixing up her grandparents' home. I'll see what she rolls after reaching her LTW, and next time she has...

Re: Early Pleasantview NEW 12/03/23

I've never played Pleasantview, I've hardly visited the neighborhood at all, and Veronaville even less. Of course I would like to, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to do *everything* I'd like to do in Sims 2 :) This is an interesting concept, and it's nice having a quick way to get to k...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Hi Anne, good to see you again!

If you ever feel like it, I'd love to hear some of the differences in the BaCC between TS2 and TS4.

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Peachy: They're so fun :D Katri: I hear you! Sometimes the challenges we give ourselves are like, "why did I do that again? :fisty:" I'm glad to have some households with nothing specific in mind, they can be such a relief from extra challenges, but still contribute to the end goal! And th...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Population update: 8023! :party: I just installed my third Business District (out of 7 earned so far). Barren Springs is an outskirt located over the mountain from Mesa Vista (I believe the Sedona template) and because of its remote location, it's more affordable for struggling households. But, the ...

Re: The L'Amour Legacy- updated 19/02/23

Hi, just started reading your Legacy! I've played a lot of challenges, but not a Legacy yet. I've only read through 1.2, but it's really fun so far. Challenges for points are my favorite, and I'm enjoying the strategizing with your chosen handicaps. I love the heart-shaped pond! Middle of Nowhere pu...

Re: A Backward ISBI - "NEW" 14/02/23 updated

I haven't read too many ISBIs, but this looks like fun! Marie moved in with $19000 - sweet! That's a big help. I've never played an uncontrollable pregnant Sim before - I'm so afraid they'll starve to death. Probably live on gelatin in my game, at least while the controllable was at work. Good strat...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Mesa Vista just experience a growth spurt; my population increased from 7194 to 7710 7810! I played a super productive household yesterday with Talin Deppiesse, who I wasn't really looking forward to all that much. Talin is engaged to Kerie Ng, but not living with her. He easily became a Business Ty...

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

Your town is beautiful, thanks for sharing the pictures, Chase! Congrats on the score too :thup:

My first car lot was a disaster, my poor Sim went completely broke after only one session :thdown: Can you share some tips on how to make them work?

Re: Build a City Challenge Chat

I've found that the two easiest businesses for me are: - a food stand using the ones that come with Bon Voyage - they practically sell themselves, no need for a restaurant podium or cash register - selling anything you can buy from the catalog - with practice, this becomes relatively easy I start ch...

Re: The Great Boolprop Olympic Challenge

Hi peachy, I just read your challenge after reading Katri's Bonita's Wants and becoming intrigued by what the Boolprop Olympic Challenge players are choosing to do. I've been considering doing one myself. Short and sweet little challenge. Congrats on making 100 potholders and a good score! Starla an...

Re: Bonita's Wants - A Great Boolprop Olympic Challenge [COMPLETE September 27th 2022]

A nice little family of B's :) Congrats on finishing! It was interesting how you had to strategize Bonita's final batch of Wants. I've never used the lightning rods, I'll have to check them out. The shy dancing was cute too, something else new for me. Never had a Womrat either. Wow, after all these ...

Thank you, Jenn, I'm glad to be posting again!

The radiator was a relatively new (and happy!) discovery :plumbob2:
I'm very pleased with Will's progress, although I'm a little concerned about the two wildcard scholarships. Still, those are the ones I'm looking forward to working on.

Hi Katri, thanks for the comment! :hug: The Planter/Harvest Moon household is one of my favorites :)

Out of the blue, I have a new update :eek: Early in 2021, I played a couple of families that I never posted their updates for :roll:

Hi Katri, nice to see you again!

This looks like a fun little challenge, I might have to try it! :spin:
Spoiler:
Romance, Popularity and Pleasure (perhaps Family too) would be good for stepping outside my usual proclivity for choosing Fortune and Knowledge.

Re: Lakewood: Just a BaCC [6th February, 2022]

Hi Katri, long time no see!

I enjoyed watching you play the OWBC, a good amount of goals to meet without being too grindy. And the new Uni lot looks like a great place to hangout!

It makes want to play again *sigh* - hopefully sooner rather than later. My track record ain't so hot at the moment.
