Yep, Abby, we're getting aliens. They said they'll look like normal sims and you'll have to figure out who's an alien and who isn't. I was a little disappointed with that but I mean, it's the sims, if we want to make aliens that stand out, I'm 100% certain that will be possible so I'm not too worrie...

Simsimity that sounds like a great idea, I'll look into it later! Here's the list for things to do in Uni; Send a teenage sim to college Have a young adult sim Have a sim get the Hogan Award for Atheltics Scholarship Have a sim get the Bain-Gordon Communication Fellowship Scholarship Have a sim get ...

Great suggestions, Lorinsv and Michelle, thanks so much! This list is separate from the actual challenge. I just wanted to make the lists first so I can easily see what can be done per game and then I'll make the challenge around the lists. I think it would be quite impossible to do everything in th...

My bad, Lorinsv, I'll take that one out. Good idea on the fitness levels, I'll get them added.

Alien abduction's already on the list, Pony.

Ok, once I have the checklists done for everything there is to do then I can start incorporating it into a challenge. I think I'm done with a the checklist for everything there is to do in the base game so I'll put it under a spoiler since it's quite long. Is there anything I may have missed? Have a...

In that case, I'm going to try and whip something up. The idea mostly came to me after I saw holosprite's list of TS4 accomplishments and how after all these years of playing TS2 I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of all there is to actually in the game. I thought that going through a leg...

I'm not sure if this exists but what I'm looking for is a modified version of the legacy challenge where each generation your goal is to experience as much expansion pack content as you can. For example, gen 1 would be base game, gen 2 would be uni, gen 3 would be nightlife etc. Has this been done b...

Abby, that's the exact same with me. I just said a couple of days ago that I hope the first EP isn't active careers because I'm not really interested in them and then it happens! Haha. But after watching the trailer and seeing the OFB elements coming into it, the detective career I'm particularly in...

You can own pretty much any kind of store you want, much the same as OFB. I know a lot of people have been asking to be able to use photos in-game as pictures to hang on the walls and things, so I'm hoping you'll be able to do that like you could in TS2 (I think you could in TS3 as well?). Aliens ar...

I'm currently working on creating 8 sims for the GoS Jan/Feb sim challenge to use for an asylum challenge. I've got 3 1/2 made so far and I love them so much. I'm still playing my legacy here and there as well. I built a new house for Eleanor and her partner but they'll be lucky if they ever save up...

The first expansion pack trailer has been released (I think mistakenly!) by The Sims Norway! The trailer has been taken down now unfortunately, but I'll update this post when a new one becomes available. But from what we saw it looks like there will be at least 3 new active careers - police/detectiv...

simsterlyrock - I could definitely do that! I probably won't put Sofia up and I won't be putting up heirs until they've passed on, or age up into elders but I have no problem at all with uploading my spares. I'll get her uploaded to the gallery later today and let you know when she's available :) ED...

Abby - I'm definitely enjoying myself playing, and with getting closer to where I'm at in-game I'm finding it more and more enjoyable catching up. I think I have about 2 updates after this one left before I'm caught up. Speaking of, the next chapter is now available! Generation 2.4 is here; http://...

What's everyone's thoughts on Outdoor Retreat so far? I've bought it but haven't played any of the new stuff yet since my current active family is too poor haha. I'm really excited to see what they come out with next and I'm really, really hoping it's either Pets or Seasons.

Bluenoser; Sorry for such a late reply! If you're still interested - aging would work much the same way it works in TS2. Just make sure you turn aging off for non-active households in the gameplay options then you just have to play your families in rotations. Time still progresses for the whole neig...

Simsterlyrock; Thank you, she turned out very nice! Abby; Aw, thank you so much. Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming, having to edit so many screenshots, especially when I just want to play (and that's probably why I have 3 updates worth of screenshots to upload) but it's worth it when I finally get i...

Hey guys, been a while! I'm back with a little update though I apologise in advance because I haven't played for about 3 months or something and all of these screenshots are from way back then so I'm having some trouble remembering what was happening at the time and everything. I have probably 3 or ...

Update your game, ghosts have been added as a free update for Halloween! Also, you can choose the option to banish ghosts so if you don't want them you don't have to have them, which is great.

I'm so excited! I'm updating my game right now. Though I don't have any dead sims so I probably won't see any ghosts for a while :( But holy crap, I'm so shocked and surprised they're doing this, honestly. Ghosts, pools in November and careers in December, all for free. I really didn't think they wo...
