Hello! I am, again, trying the challenge. XD I think it's the third time orz But I think I'm alright for now. Got random a Capricorn to start :D
One question, what about reward traits? I had to buy one in the Leo generation but can we get them freely (I mean, buy whatever whenever) for other generations? Also, don't even know if I'll get to three careers but in the challenge it says oracle branch on business.
Anyway, I'm having fun so far! Probably ask more things later and post screen caps to feel compelled (don't know if that's the word). Ty
Hi there!
I am go glad you are enjoying the challenge - that's the most important part, that you are having fun. So feel free to adjust any rules or play the way you want, there is no right or wrong way to play the challenge.
For reward traits - absolutely you can buy any reward traits whenever you want to make your game easier and better. I highly recommend the seldom sleepy because for some reason sims are always tired! I am guessing you are talking about the "Entrepreneur" trait, that's to symbolize the hardworking nature of Leo, but obviously if you need something else first, do that. Entrepreneur helps you get to the top of your career faster, so it should help you work through the last point about finishing the career. You absolutely do not need to finish two careers when I list multiple, they are just options that I recommend you choose between for your most Leo self (or any Zodiac for that matter).
If i am not mistaken, Aries is the only one that has two careers, the Renaissance aspiration and Gen 11 has politics - otherwise I think it is just the one (maybe some have some for the aspirations, but yeah don't feel the need to achieve everything for all Gens, it isn't necessary).
Example on just playing your way, my Gen 3 Scorpio sim literally HATED being a doctor, so I switched her to being a Botanist and she loved it and reached the top easy peasy by autonomously gardening. My Gen 11 Cancer heir... he literally died as a young adult and I didn't revive him... so I didn't finish all the tasks. I cheated death with my Gen 8, 10 and 12 sims multiple times cause I loved playing them so much - I have death flowers on standby and lil grims to make them younger. I have I think 8-10 generations of horses from the side-quests I was doing. I'm currently on Gen 15 with Gen 16 on the way and still only play in my one save file since I wrote the challenge in 2022.
I would 1000% prefer you just take inspiration from my challenge and have fun than make yourself miserable trying to be perfect. I'M not even perfect playing my own rules.
So yeah, have fun and just enjoy it. I am excited to see your screenshots :D

So it’s 2018 now…and here I am making a 2016 fandom AU, I know I’m super late but I had this story in my head that I can’t take my mind off it
Those designs are just simple quick sketch btw, sorry if it’s super messy
I got inspired by the AUs of @camilaart and @perfectshadow06
_______________
Chara and Frisk are twins. Chara, a hot headed yet intelligent 15 years has invented her own game called Gametale/Virtualtale ( idk what to call it yet ). When Frisk found out that Chara was not home she checked out what her sister was doing for the past months, while checking the program she din’t understand anything, she can only see flying words, tons of files, codes, all stuff that a 15 years old can’t understand. Frisk heard someone outside the room as she started to get nervous, she accidentally deleted something important, the player, which triggered the program to suck Frisk inside the game, cuz the game know that no player means no game, which Chara will call it “a failure project” and delete everything, just like her other projects.
Chara saw what happened and tried to help Frisk but to no avail. Chara told Frisk to finish the game, break the barrier and she can go back to reality, the creator isn’t 100%sure what will happen to the game if Frisk broke the program. Frisk got help with a little flower called Flowey and with a help of her sister “virtually”, the only ones who can see Chara is Frisk and Flowey. When this flower threatens to hurt the new called player, Chara threatens Flowey that she’ll delete his existence.
On their journey, they met tons of monsters, calling Frisk “player”, it’s going well, it’s going what Chara programed them to do, but what the creator din’t know that every time she logged off from the game, the program is still going, Frisk also realizes that every time her sister is gone some monsters act differently, monster like Sans whom knew this is all just a game, he can’t do anything off the files that Chara din’t program him to do because he knows that he’ll be deleted from the game, but he threatens Frisk that she’ll be the first and last player to play the game, because of this Frisk has the mentality of trusting no one except for her sister and Flowey.
Frisk’s main goal is so get home safely, Flowey’s goal is to live, while Sans’ goal is to make sure that the creator won’t delete their game, or else all of them will be deleted as well.
—————————————————
Idk if it’s good or not lol, I just want this off of my head. Sorry for the wrong grammars lolololol.
Wait so let me explain, the program changed because of Frisk, why?? because she’s not originally programed to be in the game, all the monsters she met is like they’re not just programed but they have a life, they know what’s up, well only some of them know that they’re living in a game I mean.
Every time Chara is in the game “virtually” Sans can feel her presence and starts acting differently, he acts what he was programed to do and say.

Idk, character designs aren’t official yet but I kinda like them XD

Idk what to call this AU, if Gametale or Virtualtale
I am so proud and elated to be part of @alt_d.show . What started as a way to build the show that we deserve turned into making new friends and learning so much from each other along the way. Also got some lovely feedback from some new celeb bffs! Not only is it great to now have a platform that showcases our work (finished or not) but its also a platform that works and has everyone included with statements and everyone's in the right departments etc. We did in 6 weeks what the eca took 3 months to fail at. In a way (that is v artsy and I feel like a wanker for saying it) this kind of was our final pieces. For my work especially being centred around the inherent mediocrity and unfailing selfishness of an institution that charges thousands of pounds in tuition to attend, but consistently fails the students, my final piece being "You Are Not Invited" and then we literally didn't invite them to a whole other degree show. "You Are Not Invited" was an un-invitation to everyone who makes the art "world"/institutions/whatever the steaming capitalist shitscape that it is today. The post-it note was a "goodbye forever" to such establishments, and a note to say that if they didn't want to nurture our work, we would find a place or build a place that would. And in making @alt_d.show we made a place that values us and our work. I am filled with pride to say that the website is live, you can go see it, gon have a wee swatch, there is ZERO input from the eca or any other lizards- its all us. All 17 of us on the committee came together to right what had been wronged and create a platform that done us and our work justice.

Update: Founder keeps dying! I think there's a glitch or something bc sometimes there isn't even a bad mood and others the Grimm doesn't even show up and there's not cardiac arrest animation, just the Game Over pop up, and the speed is normal so Idk. I've been saving to not restart XD Maybe a high maintenance founder wasn't the best idea since I had never played with that trait.
And now I'm struggling to choose a lifespan, like I think normal is better to finally progress but I have seasons and don't like to have just a week per season but in normal lifespan seems the sim won't experience more than one or two seasons per life stage? I really like long lifespan and two week seasons but seems like a lot of time so, maybe I'll have to get used to change lifespan and seasons through the game and add holidays constantly. Don't like that idea but I play on console so no mods for me :(
AND recently got a new console so I've been playing other games :D but I'm not gonna give up with the challenge. :)
Sounds like a major glitch D:
Maybe doing long lifespan for Gen 1 and then switching to normal for Gen 2? I personally play on normal lifespan but I modified a couple lifespans - particularly the teen one since it's too long for me. I think i have 14 day seasons and it means my sims get the holidays twice per lifespan.
Hopefully you resolve the glitch soon and can keep playing :)
Love your challenge! been trying to do it but I restarted again and again for the most silliest reasons, and then when I really liked my sim and was almost a year in game, the face glitch happened 🙃 I restarted with a new sim recently and got a game over before the first week ended 😅, high maintenance sim in a TLC apt with other 3 lot challenge traits, was always angry and I didn't pay enough attention to her moods. But think I like this one so I'll restart trying to have her always relaxed 😌
Thank you for sharing the challenge 👍👍
OMG!! I got the face glitch too nooo! actually if you age up your sim into a teen, the face glitch is resolved (at least that is what I did for Gen 9). I haven't found another work around yet but at least your sim has a skintone and isnt a weird shadow creature with ever-changing hair and outfit...
I sounds like you are having fun playing and that makes me so proud and happy for you!! Thank you for your message, it really means a lot to know you are having fun and enjoying the challenge!
Keep me updated on this new sim! I hope you don't get a game over again!
