Shades of Blue, OWBC, completed 9/2/18

[jcampbell]

Just caught up again

Spoiler:

You got triplets!! Oh and I can't believe you completed the master vamp aspiration in 7 days that was an easy one to do, lol, if annoying at times, lol.

[Jenn]

Spoiler:

Yes! Triplets! Congrats. That was one hard one to do, but I also had to have three pregnancies that generation, which made it worse. I am so excited to see how they do. Sad to see Orion go though. I laughed hysterically about the gnomes. I can only ever appease one of them. The rest just have the option to sing. I don't think I have ever even seen the kick option, but I never pay attention. Is this a custom holiday that you made?

[Teresa]

Spoiler:

St. Gnomes Day is custom. I was trying to make a St Patrick's Day like holiday - mostly drinking and leprechauns. So I pulled the gnomes and drinking tradition. I also took the gnomes out of the EA holiday where they are default in so they only show up in the custom holiday in this challenge. If you kick one, you have to kick them all as quickly as possible. They start breaking everything and they move around every few minutes. Each time they move another one joins them, so they multiply. So it is a race. I had read about it but had forgotten. And this was right after Orion had died so I thought it was something Lindsay would have done seeing there was a grim gnome in the group. Then when my computer froze and wouldn't recover and I lost back to right before that it was like a mulligan do-over and I took it for the gift it was. The house was trashed and everyone was so miserable. Never again unless that is the purpose to torture my sims LOL

update #1 for today (and I might have another tonight. this one came fast so it is possible

3.3 - They Come in Threes

and 3's thing was unintentional but so perfect - I just realized it as I was posting

[Jenn]

I love the 3's. I hope they bring good luck!

Spoiler:

Ah, I have not done any custom holidays. I might have to give that a try at some point. My favorite day of the year is the New Skill Day. I can get toddlers potty trained from level 0 to 3 in about 4 hours. I try and save up points all year for moodlet solvers for everyone so that they can spend that whole day skilling. Otherwise, I will have to try out just playing with toys. It would be awesome if it is faster than the other ways to do it. I never want to have triplets again, that's for sure. This challenge cured me of that big time.

For the leaf piles, you can burn them and they'll go away. Sure you have to burn them like 4 or 5 times, but they do eventually go away lol

OMG, thank you thank you thank you.

[Livvielove]

I'm FINALLY caught up! I blame school for keeping me from the mayhem that occurred.

Spoiler:

So you need ONE last heirpoll? Crazy! I'm so glad you got your triplets, and they're so cute! I can't imagine how stressful though... that's a lot to manage. You're almost there though!

[Teresa]

I am literally one sim-week away from the end of the challenge. I "think" I might finish tonight...

[jcampbell]

I'm all caught up again

Spoiler:

When you got the puppy it did come with the heel command. A lot of the puppies I have adopted come with that command known already. All the kids are cute
You are getting through this so fast! I pause and take way too many pics which makes mine last a lot longer

[Teresa]

I had the summer to play - I am back in school now, so my playing will probably slow down so I have been pushing to get done I also tend to lose steam and when I do I lose interest so if I don't finish fast, I may never finish

OMG, thank you thank you thank you.

hahaha You're welcome! I was having the same problem so I just randomly started burning them to see if that helped. And it did! After a few times burning them anyway... lol

[Teresa]

and the last update - I am done

[Livvielove]

Congratulations Teresa! Incoming medal! I'll leave this thread out for a few days and then we can move it to the completed challenges where it belongs!

What a victory, too!

Edit: seems you already have a medal, I thought I could double it up, but maybe not? I was able to with legacy medals.
