365 Day Badge Challenge-April 15 2026-Meet the Current Family

 Today is Wednesday which is becoming my 365 Day Badge Challenge Day.  Time to meet the Family, Oldest to Youngest.  Be prepared this is a large family.

This is Miguel Steel.  He was adopted by 2nd Generation Brando Steel when he married Miguel's Mother Hannah.  I don't remember her maiden name.  He is contributing to the family's badge challenge but I am not letting him get married or have children.

As you see he is sitting at his computer as always.  His badge is to write 80 novels.  The problem is he is on death watch and has only finished 48. I've been feeding him life fruit to prolong his life.  Right now he is pictured writing #49 a Fiction Novel named "The Burden of Avalon"  Hopefully he can finished this badge because I don't want to do this again.   

Next it is his sister Hildy.

She is sitting down eating a nice plate of autumn salad for breakfast.  Georgie, who you will meet later, decided to make it for some reason.  Hildy is another adopted family member just like her brother Miguel.  She is also on death watch because she finished everything she needed.  Her badge is Plant 10 Plants (Easy Peasy) and she finished her LTW by becoming a Creature-Robot Cross Breader and she maxed the Science career.  

She didn't roll a wish to retire and I could use her out of the house for a few hours so she is still working.

I have to admit, I didn't like Unlucky Hildy at first, mostly because of her name Hildy however she grew on me.  Now she is one of my favorites.  I guess I shouldn't judge books by their covers.   She is 92 days right now and I will miss her when she goes.

Now lets get to some sims that are actually blood related and/or married to someone blood related.

Cameron Frio

Here is Cameron paying the bills. He is the son of the first child born to the founders Anna and her husband Mickey Frio who just recently passed. 

I have a naming theme for this challenge and its General Hospital Characters in Alphabetically Order.  He is name after Cameron Weber.

Cameron is a  Kleptomanic and his badge of Having a Kleptomanic return 10 Items is Complete.  His LTW is to become a master thief and of course he is in the Criminal Career.  At the moment is his level 9 and he is 80 days.  Its a priority for him to finish his career within the next 10 days.

Mickey's obituary made the morning paper.

This is Grace Frio, Cameron's wife.  She is the daughter of Hank Goddard and Pauline Wan.  

Grace has completed her badge to Scare 5 Sims which is pretty easy for an evil sim.  The LTW she came with is professional author so she is sitting at the computer all day writing books.  Its better than her sneaking off to scare everyone.  Her royalties are 2,131 a week and she is 75 days.  She should have no trouble finishing that wish.  I list her career as unemployed author.

Here we have Elizabeth Frio on the phone with one of her many accomplishes.  Her LTW is to be the Emperor of Evil and she is on level 9.  She still needs to make 11 more enemies to finish her badge of making 15 enemies.

She is the daughter of Anna and Mickey and she is 5 days away from being an elder.  She has never married and considering her age it is unlikely she will have any children.  

She was named after Elizabeth Weber on General Hospital.  

I know it looks like we skipped over the letter D but we haven't.  We will get to her later.

Coming home from work with a Grumpy face is Felicia Steel.  With that nose she is reminding me of the Wicked Witch of the West.  Must have had a bad day at work.  She is the only one in all 4 generations born in this family to inherit the blonde hair from our founder Lucy.  She is the daughter of Brando and Hannah and will be an elder in 7 days.  I doubt she will be getting married or having kids at this point. Thankfully she won't have a chance to pass that nose down to another generation. I named her after Felicia Scorpio on General Hospital.

She has completed her badge of finding 25 stars.  Her LTW is Renaissance Sim.  She has maxed logic and needs to max 2 more skills.  Obviously she is in the medical career which she rolled a want to do, so I let her. She is level 8 Infectious Disease Researcher.

Next up is our Rock Star Georgie Steel.  He is the son of Brando and Hannah and he is married to Keri.  He is looking to have his first child.  He is an adult and will be aging into an elder in 10 days so I better get him and his wife moving on that child.  He did adopt Keri's daughter Sophia but I want to him to have one that is in the Blood line.  He is named after 2 General Hospital characters.  Georgie Jones and Georgie Spinelli both of those characters are girls.

Like his father he is in the Music Career and his LTW and Badge are with music.  The only difference is Brando became a Hit Movie Composer in the Symphonic Branch and Georgie is going to be a Rock Star.  Georgie is Level 6 in his career and when he maxes it out he will complete his LTW, Career and Badge.

Keri Steel is Georgie's wife and does she look like a happy camper.  Truth is everyone is upset because Mickey just died.  They are all still mourning him so of course this is the time I pick to get pictures of the whole family.  

Keri's family tree is a who's who of Sunset Family.  

I'll Start on her maternal side

Maternal Grandparents are Victoria and Beau Andrews

Paternal Great Grandparents are Geoffrey and Nancy Landgraab and Nick and Vito Alto

Paternal Grandparents are Holly Alto and Malcolm Landgraab

Parents are Anissa Andrews and Jeramy Landgraab

Right here I have 3 families so I have to be careful who I marry in now.

Keri's badge is to Harvest 60 items which is complete.  Living in the lap of luxury is her LTW which is also complete now she only has to finish the career she had when joining the family, journalism.  She is only a level 3 in that career now with 13 days before aging to elder.  Might be a stretch as both her and Georgie want to have a baby which I'm going to let them do. 

Nice Diane, licking the plate clean when we have a refrigerator full of food.  This is the Letter D out of order and the reason she is out of order is because I have to have her eating life fruit for her badge.  If not she would be an elder right now.  

My plan for Diane was to have her marry a wealthy sim which she did, Keri's father Jeramy who is a Landgraab/Alto heir.  She has seen his ghost and is officially a Golddigger so she achieved her LTW.  Her badge is to have a ghost baby so we are waiting for Jeramy to haunt so they can try for baby and hopefully it will be a ghost baby. I have to keep her young so she eats life fruit. She is kind of lazy and watches tv all day if I let her.  Because she will be around a little bit longer than the rest of her generation she is reading all the recipe books and has taken up gardening.  Someone has to do it because the current gardener, Hildy is on deathwatch.  She is named after Diane Miller aka Killer Miller (because she is a lawyer who is a shark) on General Hospital.  Perfect name for a Golddigger!

That takes care of Generation 3 so lets get to know Generation 4.

Move over James Bond and make room for Sunset Valley's Next International Super Spy, Harrison Frio.  

He is the son of Cameron and Grace and is named after Harrison Chase on General Hospital.  He is level 1 in the Law Enforcement Career which is his LTW and Career.  He has 15 days to become an adult so he has time.  His badge is to jog 42 Kilometers which he hasn't started yet but again he has time.  

I'm on the search for a wife for him and so far no candidates.  We are looking though.

Now the next three haven't reached Young Adult so I don't know what their futures will hold.

Sofia Steel, She is another adopted member of the family.  Her Mother is Keri and Georgie adopted her.  This is the girl that wouldn't go to school with a strange glitch that somehow fixed itself when I had to reinstall the game.  She has 6 days to become a young adult and we will see how she contributes to the family's challenge.

Here are the first twins born into the family, Irene and Jessie Andrews.  They are the daughters of Diane and Jeramy Andrews.  Jessie is the one on the Multitab doing her homework and Irene is the one holding the blue book in the back.  Irene is named after Irene Ashford and Jessie is named after Nurse Jessie Brewer.  They have 2 days to become teenagers.

Well that is the whole family.  I'm currently on day 157 with 208 days to go.  Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get everything done in time.

I played a little more and here are the results.  

Cameron just finished his LTW and Career.  He already completed his badge so now he is completed.

Elizabeth finished her career and LTW now all she needs to complete is her badge.

And Keri and Georgie are expecting a baby!

The Ultimate Sim-Cameron Sunset Valley Pt 1

 Back Again after a long time and I'm trying to get into a routine to finish all of my challenges.  Making a schedule for me to visit one of my favorite LPs each Day and hopefully I'll finish.  

On Sunday, April 12th I decided to play my Ultimate Sim in Sims 3.  My new Ultimate Sim is Cameron Lloyd who has a business degree and he is currently in The Daycare Career.  He married Zelda Mae.  I wanted him to marry a Sunset Valley resident who I never played before.  Zelda is a werewolf just like Cameron and I have to say she really is a pretty sim.  Here are some pictures.

And here are the festival pictures

Sims 4-The 10 Squared Challenge and Photos

 Hi Everyone,

I created a new challenge for Sims 4 that combines the Basic Legacy challenge and the 100 Baby Challenge.  Each Generation will have 10 children and at the end of the challenge, there should be 100 children at the end.  Here are the rules I have drafted so far.  This challenge is still a work in progress so some of these rules might have to be tweaked as I go along.

1. Follow Pinstar's basic legacy rules.  No cheats especially money cheats.  Cheats are allowed to fix game glitches only. 

2. Create a sim with any trait and looks.  Place the sim in any lot can afford in any neighborhood.  You can move the household at any time into any lot they can afford. The couple must have 10 children and the youngest male will become the heir.  Spares can be moved out but cannot be moved back into the house.  The spares can remain in the house if you want.  Heirs need to be in the bloodline.  Adoption are allowed but any child adopted is not eligible to become the heir for the next generation.

3. You must complete aspirations and careers for all sims that live in the house.  Do not repeat aspirations or careers until all careers and aspirations are completed.

4. All Holidays and birthdays must be celebrated.  Sims are encouraged to join or create clubs.

Let me introduce you to our family:

Sims 3 Photos-09-11-2024

 Hi Everyone!

Been busy the last couple of weeks playing sims but not enough time to blog.  So I decided to go through my Sims 3 Screenshot folder and post what I found in here.  I'm sure most of these photos are from my Ultimate Sim Challenge.  This is a very interesting challenge which focuses on all aspects of the game.  This is what attracts me to it.  Here is a link to the challenge.

Until Next Time

What happened in my game up to July 27th 2024

 The past two weeks I played all three versions of the game. 

Sims 2

Played my Uber Hood and I am still in Veronaville.  I was with another branch of the Capp Family.  Albany and Goneril Capp and their 4 children, Miranda a teen, Hal starts off as a child but ages to a teen this round, Desdemona a child and Arielle who was a toddler at the beginning and now is a child.  Albany, a family sim, has a want and a fear of having another baby. Goneril is not rolling any wants for a baby so this family will not be having another baby soon. 

My first problem was finding them a house with enough room and something they could afford.  There is this one house that has a large courtyard.  I bought that for them and renovated it to fit the family.  Mom is the career woman while Albany is a stay at home Dad.  That will change due to the fact that Albany had a wish for a Toy Making Bench.  This man will be opening "The Capp-tivating Toy Store" 

Next round Miranda should be off to university, Desdemona should be a teen and hopefully Albany will start working on his Toy Store.

Sims 3

On my 365 Day Badge Challenge I did not get much work done on the challenge because the house needed some renovations.  I added a 3rd Floor because the family is growing and more rooms were needed.  I will post pictures of the new house as soon as it is finished.

On my Ultimate Sim, I'm still trying to get Marty out of the business career which hopefully is soon.  I think Madison is preggers so we may have a little werewolf or fairy around soon.  Its about time those two started a family.

Sims 4

Gotta love those Sims glitches.  Dirty Dishes floating in air!  Last time it was a floating baby.

This was Athena when she was an infant.

Anyway not much has been happening with this family except taking care of children and writing the books.  Things are progressing a bit but hopefully more after the children.  The calendar does show Athena will become a child in two days.  

The Drifter challenge is moving along, Darleen now has a tent, toilet, shower, sink, refrigerator and love interest Poala Rocca.  Hopefully the next time there will be a house and a marriage.  Possibly even a baby or at least one on the way.

What happened in My Sim Game up to July 13th 2024-An Infant, A Drifter and Monty not going to University

 

This week I played both the Sims 4 and the Sims 2.  I'll start with the Sims 4.  In the Master Simmer Challenge Bristol aged into an infant.  He is a sensitive infant just like his sister and Gassy.  His Sister was a happy spitter instead of gassy.  I already know this means he will be an angry awaker.  

Athena does get upset that her parents and Erica the Nanny shows attention to her sibling.  She already has most of her toddler milestone and all of her skills.  This weekend I'm going to try and have her make the first childhood friend milestone but not sure where I can find her find some toddlers in town.  I'm hoping a trip to the park will do the trick.

As for the parents London has her two excellent children books finished.  I actually finished more excellent books before this but I wasn't keeping track of them.  I decided she should start fresh.  She also has one of her motivational excellent books finished and a bestselling Romance Book titled "How to win a prince"

Duane has 7 out of his 20 friends.  Surprisingly the game is counting London, Athena and Bristol as friends.  For now I am keeping them but it does feel a bit cheaty to me.  He has 4 of the 20 Articles written and I am not having him write an article about London.  However, when he takes Athena to the park, I will have him interview people and look for some more friends.  He does have Mortimer Goth on his relationship and I would like him to write an article on Morty.

The Drifter Challenge Reboot

I decided to start another Drifter challenge because that challenge helps me build up my horrible building skills.  So I started with the sim I started with before in Diary of a Drifter and we will see what happens this time to Darleen Holden.  Will have Pictures next time around.

The Sims 2

Uberhood

In sims 2, I am playing a rotational Uberhood.  I never really enjoyed playing rotational but now I am starting to enjoy it.  I'm having trouble getting pictures out of sims 2 but I'm hoping to figure it out soon.

An uberhood mixes all the neighborhoods together.  Pleasantville is my main neighborhood and all the other are shopping districts and they make all one big neighborhood.  I started playing this way before blogging so I'll update you on Pleasantville when I get back there as I finished their round.  In Veronaville I did finish The Capp house but I am using ACR as a mod and Juliet called Romeo over for a booty call at the same time Hermia called over Puck Summerdream for a booty calls.  Both couples were fighting over Consorts bed while Consort was in his bathroom taking a bath.  Romeo and Juliet were the couple to get to woohoo.  I didn't know that ACR was set for teen pregnancy so I do hope she is not pregnant.  I didn't want to play the game with teen pregnancy but now that there is a mistake in settings I decided to go for it.  I still don't know how Consort didn't realize what was happening.

At the Monty house I didn't get much but something important did happen.  I thought the game was paused and I was away from the computer.  Mercutio aged up and didn't go to University as planned.  He even had the wish to go to university locked in.  I tried not saving and exiting but for some reason that didn't work.  I'm going to go with it.  His ltw is the sell 2000 harvestable and I think I'm going with it.  I might even have Mercutio open a grocery store.  I will have to get him married so gonna see who is available.  Hermia is more into Puck Summerdream but we will see what develops.

I did finish the Summerdream house.  Bottom aged into a teen.  I need to get a picture of her next time around I hope. By the time their round comes up again I should have this picture thing worked out.  

I do have a mod in the game which gives me Random Occurance Scenario's  This mod comes up with little situations that pop up and your sims need to do.  Some are good and some are bad.  The Blind Date scenario Popped up for Puck which means he must go on 4 blind dates through the Matchmaker in a row.  He did 2 of them.  The first girl the matchmaker sent him was Violet Jocque from Desiderata Valley and the second was Nicole Thompson who is a MPC.  We will see who the next two are.

That is all the news from my sim game for now.  See ya next time!
