Legende Zombie Apocalypse [Updated 6/20/21]

Post by MommyIzz »

I have never tried an Apocalypse challenge! I started to read the rules once & went cross-eyed and moved on to a Legacy challenge.

I saw Phaenoh's mod for the restrictions and got really excited to try something new!

Unfortunately, my poor first founder, Andres Legende, was moments from successfully lifting the culinary restrictions when a chance card got him fired. He was pretty much doomed from that moment on. Before he turned into an elder, I zombified him and set him loose on the town.

LEGENDE: I made another founder, completely opposite of Andres, shy & intelligent Zoe Sharp. She has been MUCH more successful!

Ah, I've stayed up too late reading this, haha! I got excited when you mentioned you were following the same rule set as me. I love the way you set up your town. I was too nervous to deviate from the typical stilt apocalypse house, haha. I really like your way of telling a story too!
Spoiler:
Craig and Zoe were such an adorable pair! I hope Craig is able to cope with Zoe's loss. At least Yoshi has Orlando to help her through it, I bet Craig is going to be rough to handle without Zoe there.

I'm also happy to see that you had the same problem with them cleaning up food before it was all eaten! Dang neat sims!

Thanks! I liked the idea of having a bunch of temporary trailers until I unlocked architecture! But, boy, I wish I had gone with a house on stilts so that I could have a driveway and a junked car. lol. I think it's great we both started around the same time. It's nice knowing someone else feels my pain! Lol

Thanks peachy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had a couple near-misses due to my OCD founder, but things are going smoothly for now *knock on wood*

Spoiler:
Oh my goodness, that's so many dogs! I can barely handle just one dog in my house haha!

I know your roach problem! Although, if you have any family sims, you can totally make the comfort soup, so the flu isn't as scary as it seems!

As for Orlando's job, I interpreted it a bit different...
If a Townie at the top of a career joins the house as a spouse and that career is not lifted and is in the current restriction level, it is lifted instantly. If it is for a future restriction level, those restrictions may be lifted as soon as that restriction level is reached, even if the sim has already passed away. However, they may not work toward lifting a different one in the meantime. If that career has already been lifted, the spouse can work on lifting a different career.
So basically ,if you move in a townie at the top of a career, that restriction is lifted (even if it's a future restriction, you just have to wait until you get that tier). If it's already lifted, you can start working towards another one. So technically, I read it as a townie can start working towards the next tier's restriction, even if you haven't finished the one you are on, it just won't be lifted until you finish your tier.

I could be wrong, in which case I've made a big booboo in my story but I'll just accept it. LOL

Spoiler:
Sooooo many rules! LOL. :banghead: My daughter and I had a debate over the rule. I could have sworn I read somewhere it was fine to be in the law enforcement career, but started second guessing myself. Then I couldn't remember if a teen could stay home with a child or if an adult needed to be home, too. So, I decided to hell with it - Orlando was quitting. K.I.S.S.! Sooooo many dogs, too! The hardest part is getting them up the stairs and in that tiny little bathroom. Lol. The little dogs are easier, but Webster does not like taking a bath. I have to try 2 or 3 times usually before I can get him routed in there!
Thanks for reading Roze! It's fun having someone to do the challenge with! I read your update last night, too! WTG!

Military lifted way to go. I think it is in the rules that you can let you friends adopt the dogs you don't want to keep (or I have read it in another story somewhere)

It is very fun having someone else doing the challenge at the same time! I'm jealous of your writing style though, it's more story-like than my observational one and I like yours more, haha!
Also, you have zombies! I don't. LOL Just pretend ones.

I get attached to the dogs too, so I never give them away. There's no rule against it (in fact, it is explicitly allowed), but I don't wanna. Plus, if you give them to a townie, they run the risk of becoming a stray again, which is no good.
Spoiler:
Congrats on lifting all the Tier 1 restrictions! Excited to see the puppies :D Curious if you're going to have them go for the next pet restriction, or if you'll have Pepper try it out.
I keep meaning to ask, do you prefer comments here or on the blog?

Thanks, I enjoy writing the story based on what those crazy Sims do! I think all styles of blogging are great, and I really like yours as well! Hehe - the real zombies are driving me crazy! Now that military is done, there's going to be a little twist regarding those pesky undead! lol. You can leave comments wherever you prefer, I'll see them and answer :)

I love the pets, even when they're annoying, like destroying the bed 3 times in a row! Lol

Made it over:
Spoiler:
So I just did some playing of my second Apocalypse and finally got my first pet lift done, and it ACTUALLY didn't glitch out on level 3! :party: I haven't posted it yet because there's a pre-story post I need to write up first before I start on the Apocalypse. I'm a writer first and foremost and it just seems weird to me to start an Apocalypse without a written short story first to explain some things that I may or may not be able to do in game. So much for not making another plot-heavy Apocalypse :sigh: Anyway, restarting before your second gen is even born must have been funstrating (fun+frustrating) but your second founder did a lot better. I like to finish my Apocalypses in six generations which means I have to have five lifts per generation and that needs at least three kids and another pet to do. I don't have the Job Board mod and my community lots only get built when the appropriate lift is done first by the family, I also use the 8x8 house size max before the Politics lift is done in my Apocalypse. Except for community lots, they get to be 8x16. And I did Pet Service first because I don't want to lose control of my elders, the rule set I have doesn't have tiers like I've seen you use so I can choose whatever Pet lift I want to do first. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the next installment.

Thanks for reading Ani-Mei! Can't wait to read your apocalypse story. Oooooh girl... I twitched when you said you did 5 lifts per generation. Lol. I'm struggling with space already in my little trailer. Lifting the pet service would be nice. I hate losing control of my elders! They get so SAD!

Yeah I never had to deal with elders after my first generation in my last Apocalypse, I did Pet Service first then the whole neighbourhood just "vanished" from the in-game UI screen and took my founder and his wife with him. They never got to be elders so by the time I "rebuilt" with the second gen kids Pet Service was already done before they eldered. And so was Military and Intelligence so I could move out the spares after they did their lifts.

Ah, so many updates to read!

Oh no Barker! Why'd you get fired? although...Looking at that picture it looks like you got him in security and not service to begin with :o

I can really tell how busy you've been with this household, since he hasn't really showed up in the last two chapters of the family!

I enjoyed the Legende interlude. Too bad his romance-ness is coming back to the front! Poor Gretchin.

Wasabi is certainly just as spicy as her name! I feel a little bad for Vivi, she probably doesn't have a good relationship with her mom at all!
Although, politics is a really good career for her, it suits her really well!

Ugh. Bored at home leads to Simming and posting! Lol
Spoiler:
You're so right! Barx WAS in the security pet job! I sure messed that up! Although, he lost his job by not going to work, so he kinda deserved the firing, whether security or service. Lol.

<3 Andres. We'll see him again.

Wasabi is slightly spicy, huh! Vivi didn't have a great relationship with her Mom when she was a child, but she's best friends with her now that she's a teen. Politics is PERFECT for Wasabi!

I definitely pictured Wasabi rubbing it in that she lifted a restriction & Xerxes didn't! Oh man, she scowls when she talks to everyone! Lol. I've never met a grumpier Sim!

yay for lifting Politics! Perfect timing too.

I laughed at your attempts to get autonomous violin playing going on. I can't make my sims stay away from the stupid thing! Everyone always has max creativity because if I take my eyes off them for a second, they're fighting for the violin!

I'm debating rules in my head. Education reward is an amazing bookshelf. But can you use it before you lift journalism (with the no reading books to skill)?
