EPIC Tripp - Updated Jul 2023

[108sims]

Everyone’s growing up so fast!

I love that Kiana visited to help with the monster under the bed.

I can’t wait to see what Lindsey looks like as a teen!

[ciyrose]

It's so hard for me to believe that Lindsey is already as old as she is and that Gen 3 will be taking over before too much longer. It's crazy!!!

I love this challenge so much and this family is just so sweet. I miss Kiana, but luckily I have a save with her early on, so I might use her for something else sometime. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The EPIC Tripp has another update today. I've actually had some updates lately guys! Christmas might be a bit hectic for me, so I'm not sure how many updates I'll be getting out this month, but looking forward to a new year, and hopefully getting further with these challenges. And with that, the update is posted below and in the first post of this thread.

Lindsey grew up super pretty!

Sometimes the phases with parenthood frustrate me, but at least she's not wearing a bear costume.

It's nice to see Kiana out and about.

[ciyrose]

Agreed about the bear outfit.

I really like how Linsdey turned out, she is really pretty and I'm excited to see how she does. She looks very much like her mom to me, and I think Belle is really pretty too.

I miss Kiana sometimes, so it's super nice when she comes and visits. Glad to have you reading!

It has been far too long since there was an update to this EPIC, so now there are 2. Not really because one is just the wrap up, but still, you can see the links to both posts either below or in the first post on this thread. It's hard for me to beleive that Gen 2 is over already! Where did the time go?

Generation 2 Wrap-up

[108sims]

Spoiler:

Belle looks super fancy!

I am Belle. I too would feel tense being out like that. Especially performing!

Francis's painting made me laugh! Poor guy.

Congratulations for finishing the second generation!

[ciyrose]

Belle has got to be one of my favorite sims! Seriously I love her. I'm excited to see how Lindsey does with archeology though, she's such an interesting sim.

[ciyrose]

It's hard to believe I'm starting Gen 3 already, but there is a new update with the beginning of Gen 3 all ready for you. I may get through this challenge yet. I'm loving it! I will post the update below and in the first post of this thread.

It seems gone really quick. Doing really well I like to see the difference between sims 2 and sims 3 I think I could be wrong.

[108sims]

Spoiler:

I like how you included the reset as a dream.

Selvadora really is a great place to find spouses. There's so many sims there!

Wow Lindsey moves fast! Welcome to the family Ferndiando.

I can't believe Belle is an elder already.

This is actually in Sims 4. I really like the way it works with 4. I like gardening and stuff, but it has been fun to see your TS2 version and see the differences in them. The archeology stuff has been very interesting too. I think this is partly why I've been so hooked into my TS4 stories lately. There is so much to explore and I feel like it runs so smooth (most of the time) compared to TS3. It makes me happy to know that, when I eventually can't get TS2 to work anymore (which I know will happen someday) that I can play this and enjoy it. Although I still REALLY want to finish my TS2 stuff.

Thanks, it was sort of fun to be able to take the picture and use it.

Spoiler:

I was actually ok with the reset, but her first trip into the jungle did NOT go well. lol The second one was MUCH better and a lot more fun.

There are a ton of sims there, and yeah, I didn't want Belle to miss out seeing grandkids, so Lindsey moved fast. I see her as a take-charge kind of girl anyway. She sees what she wants and goes after it. I'm glad to have you reading. There is another update coming tomorrow! I've been on a roll of playing/blogging lately. I have posts scheduled for basically the rest of the week. I'm so excited.

[ciyrose]

Whoo, the next update is here for this EPIC. I feel like I still have so far to go, but am so excited to be in Gen 3. I hope you enjoy the update, the post will be below and in the first post on this thread.

Spoiler:

marriage death and a baby all in one update

[ciyrose]

A lot happened for sure. It was sort of a bittersweet update.

[SimCave]

This was a beautiful yet sad update.

Spoiler:

The gnomes' activity touched my heart. It was a lovely part of the story.

[ciyrose]

Thanks thanks.

Spoiler:

Yes, those gnomes were interesting. I thought it was sort of fitting how they went wherever Francis went, so I figured it deserved to be part of the story. I love when the game makes it so easy to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[108sims]

Spoiler:

I'm glad both of Lindsey's parents got to see her get married.

Aw it's kind of nice, but sad that the gnomes were there to send Francis off. I'm glad he got to spend some of the holiday with his family.

I love that Johnny came to comfort Belle.

I can't wait to see what Lara looks like!

Spoiler:

It was a very bittersweet holiday for sure. I loved that the gnomes did that. I did not expect them to basically follow him around, but it made for a great update. Johnny coming out and basically heading straight to Belle to hug her was very sweet. I love this family. I am also excited to see what baby Lara looks like. Her mom is so close already to maxing archeology, so I might be the most successful this generation, but babies can change a lot, so we will see.
