Intro
I made this blog and realized I didn't really have anything I
wanted to blog about. Which sucks. And then I forgot I had a blog until today, when I was going to start one to document a Sims Challenge. Very convenient, I think.
So, I've done Sims 2 Challenges before, but I haven't tried any Sims 3 Challenges yet. The Random Legacy Challenge, by Tigger89, can be found
here. I'm not going to post the rules of the challenge except the ones that I've rolled, you'll have to check out the link and read the rules for yourself if you wish to do the challenge.

My Thoughts On The Subject
Marital status is good. I have a couple that will ultimately adopt. I haven't created them yet, but I think I'm going to make a lesbian couple. They will then adopt child. That works for me. I don't really like huge sim families. I get focused on one or two and ignore the rest, which isn't really fair to the rest of the poor neglected simmies. Hmm... Incomes. I've been neglecting most of the Ambitions jobs, so I actually haven't had a Medical profession sim before. It should be fun. The secondary, part-time job... whatever. It's not hard or time-consuming but it won't bring in much money either. But that's okay.
On to the two big ones. Expansionist, hmm? Well, I like to build, so it won't be a problem, but I just have to decide what I want to build. I'm thinking about maybe a "pool house", like have the pool, with surrounding marble flooring, columns around it, with an open upstairs deck for sunbathing or whatever. But I'm not sure yet. I'll get there. As for the Partier part... yeah... I'm not really into parties much. So a party per week will stretch my comfort zone a bit, which is the point of the challenge, so it's a success, but I could be happier with this part. But who knows? Maybe I'll turn into a huge party machine and become addicted to sim parties!
Next post will be my introduction of the happy sim couple, once I've made them!
