This sounds fun! If you don't mind, I might try and convert it to Sims 2 so that I can play it too. Most of it would actually work fairly well...the skills are different and there's no Sixam to visit, but it might still work.

Go for it!

[Rawla]

I'm still fine-tuning it. I'm currently debating whether to keep the male and female objectives for an alien pregnancy. I did that because I can't remember if females can get pregnant through abductions. Anyone know?

[Livvielove]

This looks fantastic! I love, love, love the theme! You're very creative! I might have to try this, I've never done the scientist career yet... though I only recently got Get to Work...

[Rawla]

Thank you very much! It would thrill me very much if you did try it.

[Mpart]

This is super well done! I love the way you presented and thought it out. I think it's going to be a really fun challenge that a lot of people will enjoy. Once I eventually cave in and get Get to Work, it's going on my list of things I shall do.

[mojot89]

Another challenge to add to my growing list... lol

[Rawla]

I've begun to test-play this challenge for myself. I wanted to share my Sim I made for it. His name is Prince Avalos.

Spoiler:

Nerd Brain
-Genius
-Cheerful
-Self-Assured

[Livvielove]

He's cute, I can't wait to see how the challenge turns out for him!

[Rawla]

Thanks Livvie! I'm playtesting with him so might not be sharing an actual story/thread this time. I'll try to make a few updates on this thread from time to time.

[Rawla]

Prince Avalos has a few promotions already and has built his rocket. He's working on upgrading it now. He still lives in a tiny box of a home.

I failed. (The discussion we had, not the challenge) He won. He demanded I tell his story instead of just playtesting with him, soooo... http://www.boolprop.net/viewtopic.php?f=171&t=4188

[Rawla]

What went from playtest only to story, now became SimNo material. How did Prince Avalos talk me into this? lol

[jcampbell]

The challenge sounds really fun! Great job

This is something I will definitely try once things have slowed down for me a bit.

Thanks! Have fun.

I got another update to my story out. I couldn't find a bus in the Sims game, so sorry for the non-Sim pic. Will try to do one next update. C.E.A. Prince Avalos update

You can only if you set it in MCCC to allow female abduction pregnancies.

I'm on the 2nd set of objectives. I find that if you use the +5 Each additional alien pregnancy, you can top 100 points.

I guess MCCC is the only way for females then (by abduction). Good to know. Thanks Jenn. You're coming along nicely! xD

[jcampbell]

I am gearing up to start this challenge and had a question ...
For the lot traits, can you only have the one specified for that gen or can you use 3 lot traits as long as one trait is the required one?

[Jenn]

I just did the second option you mentioned. I made sure the required lot trait was there and filled the other two with random stuff.

Speaking of, my next kids have just turned teen. I have not decided who will take over yet. Right now, the push from toddler to teen was exhausting. With the final goals all family related, I'm probably going to slack off and let them be teens.

As soon as this is done, I'll make a post for the updates.
