I bring another update :)

This was interesting! I'll have to look up the other Homeless posts. (I like poverty-type challenges for Sims.)

[lorinsv60]

Thanks! It's a little too skill-grindy even for me because of the career requirements, but I'm excited to try getting the ten scholarships with the kid.
My current favorite hardship challenge is Harvest Moon that I found here: http://www.modthesims.info/showpost.php?p=3838029&postcount=175

The homeless career is certainly something different :)

[lorinsv60]

Yes, and too skill-grindy even for me, but I look forward to working on the scholarships for their kid :)

This sounds quite interesting, actually. (And oh yes, I don't know the rules, but charisma is a pain and a half to skill for until a sim becomes a teen... if you miss out on the bunny, that is.)

[lorinsv60]

The bunny is always my go-to for toddlers for that reason, which I suppose becomes a bit boring, but I don't watch them when they skill, so in this challenge and Apocalypses that was the way to go.

[scribal_goddess]

Yeah, running a legacy where they had plenty of money after a bit, I usually put down the bunny and the logic toy. (Though there is more stuff you can do with logic since FT...)

The drawing/blocks table is also a good one. I find that the music box barely pays off since most creativity skillers are open to kids and raise their fun anyway.

I am really impressed by how well you are doing with this challenge -- I think I would have pulled my hair out ages ago. And congratulations on finally having the baby! (Okay, you personally did not have the baby, but you know what I mean.)

[lorinsv60]

Yeah, I was kinda pulling my hair out, not really a fan these days of that much skill grinding, but getting that many scholarships is a goal I'm looking forward to working toward. Haha, thanks! (Gretchen thanks you too)

Four RL years between updates for a household, sounds familiar^^

Wow, the snapdragon badge, that was lucky! You have to have a little luck TOO in these challenges.

(Lol at Zach's Hoops, a real Bacc business lot where everything is there for a reason and that's it. I love that spirit :)))

[lorinsv60]

Yes, four RL years was pretty shocking, but hey, RL, writer's block, breaks from Simming... yeah. I do look forward to more Baccville when you hopefully get back to it again!

Haha, with this challenge luck wins over realism every time!

Yes, Zach's Hoops was never designed to serve a purpose other than getting my BaCC score off to a running start (again, realism, pffft), but it's turned into a perfectly realistic go-to place for a homeless Sim!
