This may be the challenge that gets me past the limitation I've had since Sims 1.
"Eh, I'll make a family. Ooo, pretty family. Ooo, pretty kids. Eh, family's boring. Neighbourhood go die now." Rinse. Repeat.
I've started with a sim completely made of custom content, for storyline purposes. It doesn't hurt the Show Biz restrictions that her hair stops being pretty as the novelty of a silver chick with white hair wears off. The storyline is, the apocalypse happened before she was born, scientists fished out a pregnant zombie from the devastated region, and the zombie's spawn grew up to be my founder. The government eventually decides that peace should be brought to the region, and it just so happens that Evelyn is immune to further zombification, and any of her kids that inherit any of her custom genetics will share that immunity.
Two bugs have happened so far. The first one...her energy won't go down. It's maxed out and staying that way. I have a mod or five that maxes out energy, but none of them are active on her. 's what the game says, anyway. It'll probably fix itself when she moves into the Pocky Lips main neighbourhood. (Yes, I called it Pocky Lips. It was cute. I was more sleep-deprived than usual. Shut up.)
Second one, I sent her on vacation to Twikki Island so she could pick up a Mr. Mickles doll. (In exchange for this, she's lost a semester at college. When she moves to Pocky Lips, I'm waiting until Paranormal's unlocked before her family can use Mr. Mickles again.) She finds the proper map, goes to the Mysterious Hut, fixes the Witch Doctor's crap, and waits to get a Mr. Mickles doll. Suddenly the action is cancelled. Like, the Witch Doctor was waiting too long or something. Okay, so Evelyn decided to take a bath because she was stinky. I cancelled it long before he got to the hut, so it shouldn't have mattered.
Anyway, I internally wept since I either had to restart from the last save when she didn't have the map, or save and basically waste the damn vacation.
...despite all this, I still love this challenge.
