Posting for my sister - she has posted her OWBC: Skelton OWBC. She also has a poll for the 2nd generation: Skelton Gen 2 Heir Poll. She is testing Seasons and Matriarch, and a few others.

I'm FINALLY caught up!
Spoiler:
I couldn't stop LAUGHING when all the kids walked in on Xia and Don! That was way, way, way too hilarious. :roll: Those kids never learn. Man you're really going nuts on this challenge! It's excellent! I swear I want 1/4th of your speed and drive so I could at least go at a normal pace! I can't believe you're doing such a fantastic job with all those challenges too! You're giving me ideas about how I can work on the Vampire Aspirations too, so thank you for that! For Bunny, I think you could easily keep her around and max out some other Vampire aspirations... though maybe she'd be more useful in a career! If I had known she was going to be a vampiress I might've voted for her to spare you a bit, but I voted for Orion to get you your blue-skin boost! Looks like he's a popular one!
I'm sending you lots of energy and good juju to keep up this pace on this challenge! Also some money, but I doubt that would go through for your poor Simmies in time. :lol:

I don't play vamps often because the need to feed is painful because they take relationship hits when they get caught by their friends and family. But, the randomizer is great. I didn't really realize how much I influence the randomizing when I am not using it because I am getting traits and aspirations that I would have found a way to not use before (reroll - lol). Now I am being kept honest. :bullwhip:

I am close to having the next update ready - but it is so close to Oriel and Orion's birthday that I want to play through that before I post. But I really wanted to post before I went to bed tonight. I just can't squeeze another 2 game days in - tomorrow though. And then I have a 3-day weekend. We are going to Ft Worth, but I will have the laptop so I expect to get some playing time in - we are not big partiers - big relaxers LOL

Nothing wrong with relaxing! It's my favorite pastime (besides playing the Sims lol) We'll be ready for the update whenever you get to it. No rush :)

I was up early this morning and played through their birthday. ;) I have pictures and the outline and will have it written and posted shortly. Woot. I think I may get to leave a little early today, maybe an hour, but every minute counts lol. And we aren't leaving until lunch tomorrow and I am an early getter upper. So I may even have another update before we leave. I would love to have Olly's birthday by tomorrow. But we'll see. I am excited about getting out of winter and into spring finally. And 3 days off of work. [emoji12]

Spoiler:
Haha! Orion is going to have a GOOD time when he has to deal with 3 pregnancies and the results of them...
Loner would probably be a HORRIBLE trait to add to a huge family, so maybe her sister would be better? Unless you're up for a challenge. I suppose I don't actually know the ins and outs of the Sims 4 loners, but in TS3 they hated being surrounded by people.
I love getting to see how you figure out your challenges and mini-challenges. My fingers are crossed for you! Maybe I'll have to attempt a OWBC for TS4 soon. :hmm:

Aww, kitty! Mine sits on my tower next to me and she just stares at me. I think she's trying out mind control for treats. I really need a double monitor set up. That would make thing so much easier!
Enjoy your weekend vacation!
Spoiler:
How does Bunny only need two drinks per week? Mine need two a day. I have them living on plasma packs they can't afford.
Wow, Lexi appears to be a handful!
I need a new house for my family too. Nothing cuts it for very long.
My gnome has been spewing seeds now for three seasons. I don't think it ever ends.

Great update! Your sims seem to get so much done.

Spoiler:
They don't die from thirst and she has never lost control with the family so she just has her freakouts and I ignore those. When her thirst gets low enough that it is irritating me then she drinks, but I don't worry about keeping her in the green. I used to try to keep plasma packs in her inventory but never remembered to have her drink them and she wouldn't drink them on her own (make them from fish or frogs - don't buy them). Most times I forget about it - but I am going to watch it closer this next update to get a better idea how often and what is happening. She may be eating sim food and vomiting that I am not catching also.
Spoiler:
She isn't eating, it just takes several days for her thirst to drop. She normally has enough positive moodlets to cover the uncomfortable moodlet from being thirsty that it isn't her controlling emotion which is why I don't let her feed but once or twice a week. I watched her for 24 hours and her thirst dropped from about 75% to about 30%. The uncomfortable moodlet was last in line under 6 positive moodlets and never came out. What I call her freakouts are the moments when the uncomfortable moodlet comes to the top

Sounds like Lexi is a handful! My sympathies! :spin:

So long Don! :rip: Now he can't flirt with Lindsay!

and another update.
2.3 - Center of the Universe
Spoiler:
I really like Lexi - she is so much fun to play. I wish I could just focus on her, and I wish the toddler stage was a little longer. I do love toddlers. And I am going to be playing the 100 baby challenge next... :)

Back being caught up!
Spoiler:
Aww, bye Don and congrats Bunny.! Lexi being trapped behind the couch was pretty funny. I say cheat Buffy's finally thing to be done. She's been trying for a long time with no luck. There is no reason to make her start a whole new aspiration. That would suck for her.
Overall, I think Lexi would drive me nuts. I cannot handle kids that act that way. Not a single bit.
