I like to see what happens to your second generation compared to mine

[ciyrose]

Yeah, I'm excited to show everyone what was happening. There are updates through the end of next month already played and written so there is much more to come. I really have enjoyed this challenge a lot.

Yay I'm excited to see more of your EPIC! It's always so sad for me to move on from the previous generation, though I know it must be done. I can't wait to see more of Belle. You're making me miss my EPIC challenge.

[ciyrose]

Awww, I'm glad you are excited to see more of it. I've got updates ready for it through the rest of the month so keep coming back! I really enjoy playing the EPIC, I think it's a ton of fun, and very different from what I've played before!

[ciyrose]

All right, so excited because there is a new EPIC Tripp post up today. We are currently slowly working our way through the second generation. The update has been posted in the first post on this thread and also below. If you are new to this EPIC I suggest you start with generation 1, the Garden of Eden generation to get caught up.

Just read the latest update. So hoping for another girl. Have you played ahead and know the sex of the baby? Lol

[ciyrose]

In this instance, I have played far enough ahead the newest baby is a toddler, so yes, I do know the sex of the baby now. New baby is born next update, which will show up next week. I do love that challenge.

Another update to the EPIC has posted. We are back with the Tripp family working on generation 2. I hope you enjoy the update, the post is below or the first post on this thread.

Spoiler:

I love the picture of Belle (pregnant ) and playing the violin she looks like she is in total bliss

I absolutely agree! I think it might be my favorite picture so far.

They're such a sweet family.
I think it's odd you can use a punching bag (and run on the treadmill) when pregnant, but you can't jog.
Lindsey is a cutie!

[ciyrose]

Thanks Allison! I love these guys. I really need to get back to them, haven't played in a little while. Still, they are doing well, and Lindsey is so adorable! I think it's super weird you can do "jogging" on things like a treadmill too, but not actual jogging. Oh well, she found ways around it still. I'm glad you are enjoying it!

[ciyrose]

Have a new update for the EPIC today. Back with the Tripp family and continuing on through the sound of music generation. I'm excited to see how this EPIC continues and will post the link both below and in the first post of this thread. I hope you enjoy the update!

a sad day for the family

[ciyrose]

Yes it was peachy. Felt too soon.

I got some time to catch up with this challenge today! It's so nice to see Belle's family blooming!

Spoiler:

Francis seems to be a great husband and dad! I hope he's lucky with the painting skill! But yes, I hate that it doesn't give fun in this game. I usually work around it by having my sims listen to music while painting, but sadly that's not an option for this challenge.

Lindsey is super adorable! Great idea with the name themes, and I also love Lindsey Stirling! Good luck with her skills! Try to have her go around Watching people to up thinking and talking to a stuffed animal for comunication!

It was hard to see Johnny go! It always is when previous gens start going, but it was cool that you got a couple more days with him with the pleading! None of the options ever work for me xD

Francis is amazing as a husband and father. I've actually played Lindsey through to child already (the posts are coming) so I know how her toddler years turned out. It is kind of annoying painting doesn't give fun, and it's good to know music helps, so when they finally unlock those radios it will be nice. I had no idea what the wailing or whatever it was called would do so I was surprised. Still, it was hard to watch Johnny go and know I could have gotten him an aspiration if I knew I could change it earlier. Still, this was a challenge I started in part to learn TS4 so it's doing that.

Glad to have you reading!

Lindsey is just so cute! I can't get over it. I love toddlers in this game.
It's always so sad to lose a sim, but I think it's always the hardest for the founding generation.

[ciyrose]

I agree! The founders are just tough, and yes, Lindsey is ADORABLE!! I just love her. I'm excited to see her as a teen and adult because she's just so stinking cute!

[ciyrose]

So I kind of forgot to post the update that posted yesterday. It was such a crazy day at work I just didn't get around to it. So here is the latest update to my EPIC. I have one more scheduled and then it will have to wait until I am able to play again. Life has been pretty busy so I haven't had much in the way to playtime, or the desire, but I'm starting to itch to get back to my sims, so hopefully, I will have more updates again soon. Anyway, the latest post link is below as well as in the initial post on this thread. I hope you enjoy it!
