Growing up

The life of the Coopers continues !

To Cute :)

 Dad teches Kylee how to talk

Looks like the last word he taught her was "Dad" :)

Mommy teaches Kylee how to walk

Kylee singing to her Imaginary friend, so cute !

Owww, we have someone age-ing up!

Gonna be a big girl now

Kylee is now a Child. Looking more and more like Ariel I think !

Dreaming about getting married!

A good thing in this challenge *lol*

To be continued....

Kylee is born

After both parents had spent some time with the baby, I aged her up.
Reason;
There is not much to do with a baby, so to wait the 2 days felt pointless (and I was curious!)

Kylee was born with her fathers Pink hair and Green eyes!

We have ourselfs the Sim that is going to carry on the genetics!!!

I could not believe my luck. They "did it" the first time around :)
I was both super happy, and I also felt alittle "this is to soon".

Note to self- Never feel that way again. I almost gave up on 2nd generation, but refound the strength, ha !
I am alittle further in the game than the blogging... But not that far apart, I am with Kylee:)

But in the end this was a good thing.
Both parents love their little Kylee to pieces. They knew they were going to give her the best up bringing possible :)

Luna continued to work with her Daycare. So there were always company for Kylee.

This also gave them a chance to try to save up some simoleons for when Kylee was ready to move away from home.

And keep in mind. They are going to have plenty of grandchildren, so I think they will survive !
(they have too, I didnt want any extra kids if I didn´t need too....And a spoiler. Kylee wont get lucky first time, just "sayin".. )

Ariel loves his little family

Look at them !
There is NO doubt which parents genetics Kylee got :) ha

To be continued....

The Coopers start the journey

Since I play with normal age settings.
I think that gives me 42 sim days (YA & Adult combined) to be able to have the child that will continue the legacy.
The Coopers had no time to waste *lol*

The Challange continues;

The two young love birds knew they needed to start their family early.
This means some BIG financial stuggles in the beginning, and pretty much almost untill their "work" in this challange was done.

Ariel took a job at the local school, and Luna started a Daycare Center.
This was a good way for them to get to know the townies fast I think/thought

The couple bought lottery tickets every day (sims in the past have got lucky).
But this never became a good income for them. Most of the days they lost, and other days it just covered what they payed.
But when they every now and again won a few hundred simoleons I was very happy :)

Promotions obviously came over time.
But this was one of the hardest game play starts for me when it came to money.

I didn´t have enough to buy everything the baby needed at once etc, and those things are not to expensive.
Luckily Luna had already invested in some toys and such for he Daycare center, so they had something !

The young couple had a private wedding at home

Luna woke up in the middle of the night, and she knew it, just knew that she was expecting the first noboo :P

Labour started, and Ariel just continued sleeping :P

Some food cravings in the middle of everything, ha

After a long night, baby girl Kylee was born.

Luna is happy allthough tired, holding her little one for the first time.

Here we get a good view of Luna´s blue eye colour.
So it´s not going to be hard to tell, which "traits" the children gets.

To be continued...

Perfect Genetics Challenge

I decided to give it a try and do a "Sims 3" challenge.

Just for fun. I will take it in my own speed, just doing to for the fun, and to give the game some form of (more) meaning and a little bit of a challenge :)

The goal is to carry two extreme genetic traits if I can call it that, through 10 Sim generations.

You start by creating a sim (Male/female, don´t matther).
You have to make the hair extreme in some way.
I also choose to make the eyes extreme, so I would never have any doubts about if I have succeded or not :)



This Is a link to where the rules are ; Perfect genetics

Meet the Coopers

There will be screenshots in different posts that will show the two sims special feautures better.
In the beginning I didn´t know if I was gonna like the challange or not, so I didn´t take many screenies :P


I decided to start of my challenge with Ariel Cooper.
A young man that was born with "supernatural" soft green eyes and the faith of a super pink hair colour :P

He fell in love with and married Luna, the future mrs Cooper. A young woman with brown hair and deep, but still bright blue eyes.

Luna´s hope in life was a large family.
Faith might not bless her with the wish for many children of her own. But faith will most deffinetly give her a large family:P

My own rule adjustments:

Only 2 changes believe it or not!

I will not give my Sim who is going to carry on the legacy the "disslikes children" trait.
The reason behind this is simple. I play the game to have fun/enjoy it. And I would not enjoy that.

The second thing is;
I will do random roll´s on the traits on all sims.
With the exception of the first time they age up.
I wont allow the trait "evil". I can´t see myself play a Sim that´s evil for a long period of time.

The reason why I will keep this first "age up" safe  is because I will never know when I am lucky and get "the Sim with the perfect genetics".
After I know which sim it is, I will have no issue with keeping the other sims random.



This is also going to be the first time for me to play full "life" of the sim toons.
I always play with "epic/long age" or have it turned of.
So I have never played a elder sim myself.

Over the months this is probably going to take, I am going to experience to see my sim´s die eventually. This will be hard, but otherwise I will have a sim world with only my sims in it *lol*

I am allowing myself to keep sims alive if I like.
This will be done by obtaining enough (65 000) Life time reward points to buy "Age Freeze"

In a large family I can see the founder being able to obtain those points during the game play.
If not I will allow the poition from the chemestry bench.
Since that means someone in the family have to get the logic skill high enough, and then actually discover it and pay for it.

But I don´t think this will be a problem.

Luna Cooper for example;
I stuck by that household untill I could buy it for her.
Ariel was to far away on the points. So we will wait and see his faith.

I will get attatched to all the sims, I know that. But I do think I will only feel the need to keep a few as imortals.

Long intro, but now the story of my journey to complete this challenge :)
The blogg is mostly for myself. I suspect it is going to be fun to be able to look back and see how things have progressed... Good times, and in game Struggle times :P

Recap

Here I will write a short summary of what went on during 2013, to get you guys up to date again:)

But will do that a day when I feel I have the energy to gather my thoughts !

So will very randomly jump into doing "series" about a Challenge I am doing in The Sims 3

/Peace n out, Pink

Oh lols

Hey Strangers !

Now I see that it is litterary 1 year since I blogged... Thats kinda bad *lol*

Finally 2013 is done, dusted and put in the past... Didn´t have the best/easiest year ever (though I have had worse).
So think I am going to try to be more active here again :)

One thing I had to face last year and work with was my World of Warcraft addiction. There was no way I could denie it or ignore the problem anymore :P

That journey might get a blogg post in a while... I am doing better now, and are keeping a balance. Haven´t played for a few months now. And the first 6 months I basically had to stop all together

Anyhow, that was a small update :)
