The Running Sim-How tacky can we get?

Next Stop Sunlit Tides




I really haven't played Sunlit Tides much so I'm not used to it but I did find her a small out of the way safe house.  Its called Heavenly Home but it looks like it's last owner was Gilligan and the Skipper.

Now to change her look and name.  Now we want a look that will make her blend in and not stand out.


Yep that look is pretty inconspicuous.  


Her new name is April Barnett and its time to scout the area for hacking locations.


Jungle Jim's Gym


The Hideaway


The Hot Spot


Landgraab Swap and Sell  Both times we were spiked was at this location so we are avoiding it like the plague.


Paradise Pools


Riku's Luau Diner


Pirate's Pool


The Overlook


Sunshine Park


Pirates Pool is the first place I sent her to hack and I think this will become a preferred location as we have an espresso maker available in case she gets tired like she is now.

Day 2


Day 3


Day 4




Well, I scouted all those places and its already time to leave.  Oh well time for stats.

The Running Sim Sunset Valley/Lucky Palms

Continuing playing the Running Sim and today I found out how fast this challenge actually is.  I'm having fun watching to see what happens has become fun because I really don't know what will happen next, where I will be playing or what she will be looking like.


She gets this negative moodlet everyday.  Doesn't she realize that she is a criminal who needs to keep a low profile?  This is actually a good thing.


Week 1 Day 5 The Scene of the Crime Du Jour is the Landgraab Consignment store.


Why is she stopping its only 12:03.


That is why they are onto us.  This means we have to vamoose!


Say goodbye to the Katy Perry Peppermint Cycle.


Goodbye Hot Pink Lap Top


Everything is clean and in ship-shape order.



Inventories are cleaned.


3:35 AM and she is out of here with 28 minutes to spare.


Final Totals for Sunset Valley:
Length of Stay-5 days (Week 1 Day 5)
Amount of Money Hacked-$2,349

What happened in my game on July 4th 2019

I played a bit of World Adventures and I'm now finished with China and France.  I need to return back to Lucky Palms for our two-day layover and we will be heading to Egypt to finish up the tombs.  For the first time I actually finished that ltw and it wasn't as hard as I thought.  My WA sim will become my new Going Solo Sim, so I will be looking for a baby daddy soon.  I will probably look for one in Egypt.  No story attached to that just playing by the rules and it will be updated here.

I was planning on spending the weekend finishing World Adventures but plans changed.  I couldn't wait to start this new challenge and because it should be a quick one.


The Running Sim Challenge

Shouldn't be starting a new challenge while I'm so behind on my stories but this is a short fun challenge that caught my eye created by Llandros.  I am especially attracted to the randomness with this challenge. It just looked like so much fun I couldn't wait to try it.

My sim in this challenge is a criminal she hacks computers for a living.  This means that all money earned by this sim must come from computer hacking.  The sim is only allowed to hack for at least 5 hours at night and when that sim gets the "Crime doesn't Pay" notice it is time to move onto the next town and change identity.  The sim will have 4 sim hours to get back to their safe house, leave the broken computer and all other items in the house (Nothing in the sims inventory or family inventory) clean the safe house and get out.  Once the sim gets to the next destination they must change their looks and names.  After all the cities have been visited we will see how much money has been earned to determine if the sim wins the challenge.

I will be following these rules.  I will be using all my cities loaded in game including 2 custom worlds and Adventure Land.  This means I need to add 18,056 for each extra town so in order to complete the challenge I must finish with 379,168 in funds.

The first thing I needed to do is find out which town I will be starting in so I went into random.org and randomized a list.  This is what I came up with for the first town.


This means I start in Sunset Valley but this is not the town lineup.  I will be randomizing again when it is time for my sim to move.  I will just remove Sunset Valley from the list.

Now that I know where my sim will be living time to meet my running sim.  First I have to roll for the gender so back to random.org to help again. 


Odd numbers for Male and Even for Females so my sim will be a female.


I hit randomize for the sim but I was able to change her looks.  Every time she moves her looks will change too. 

Now she needs a name which must be randomized too.  The first name that popped up was Shayla Leach which sounds perfect for a thief so I'm keeping this identity for Sunset Valley.

Traits must be randomized too.  I have to keep randomizing until I hit computer whiz whatever else rolls up with computer whiz we also keep no matter how good or bad.



Neat and Night Owl should help me but that Social Butterfly will hurt I'm afraid.


I moved her into the Pre Fabulous in Sunset Valley.  Now to get her set up.  The first thing I did was sell the Flamingos and Parking Space.  I love the Flamingos but we needed the money to buy the laptop computer.  We still didn't have enough to buy the computer but after selling the University bucket, Camera in Inventory, Back to the Future Portal and a table top phone in the house we had enough for the laptop and $1,000 simoleans to spare.


She isn't allowed to own a car only a bike and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to use these Katy Perry Items as this bike will not be going with us to the next town.  This bike seems perfect for Berry Sims.


I almost forgot I have added an extra level of difficulty for this challenge and all my challenges.  I never liked the idea of buying food out of the refrigerator so we either have to go grocery shopping or grow our own food.  I guess this means she will have to clean out the refrigerator before over to the next town too.


Making some food to stock up the refrigerator.  Autumn salad only requires lettuce, where did the other vegetables come from?


Week 1 Day 2: We hacked at the Wellness Gym and earned $355.  I decided to check her hidden hacking skill with MC and she is now level 2 in hacking.

So far we have hacked $355


Week 1 Day 3: We decided to hack at the Fire station and she earned $767.
She is now level 3 in hacking and has earned a total of $1,122 from hacking.


Week 1 Day 4: Maywood Glen is the location for the night and she earned $739.  She is now a level 4 in hacking and has earned a total of $1,861.

That is all for today we will continue this tomorrow.

So what happened in my game until 10/30/18

As I said in the previous post I am changing the format in of this blog to be more of a journal of what happened in some of my challenges.  My two stories "A Race Against Time" and "Romance on the Horizon" will stay the same as stories and I am actually hoping this change with the just for fun updates will give me more time to devote to my story updates.  On this blog I will be keeping track of these challenges:


  • "Ultimately Eddie" which is The Ultimate Sim Challenge with Eddie Landgraab
  • "Perfect Genie-alogy" which is The Perfect Genetics Challenge with Catalina Su
  • "The Immortal Gift" which is the Supremacy Challenge with Trevor and Carissa McIntyre
  • The Alphabetcy and Wishacy challenge with either Aiden or Ava McIntyre which is to be named later

With this change I will be keeping strictly to the rules of each challenge as written on the challenge.  I will also be updating the games that I have played which may not be the same each time.  Right now most of my game play of the above mentioned has be Eddie's file but I am searching for a better house for Catalina and I have some game play in that one also.  I also decided to try and get complete family photos from the festival lots as much as I can.



Ultimately Eddie Update Season 1-Sunset Valley


The last time I updates the twins were babies but now they have grown up.



This is why I have to keep better notes, they are twins and I don't remember which one is which on the child photos.  Usually I spend time skilling the kids in toy oven and blocks but I spent very little time with them because I was working with Eddie on his collection journals which still are not complete.


This one is Maggie, her traits are Neurotic, Brooding, Easily Impressed and Friendly


This one is Bernadette and her traits are Virtuoso, Perceptive, Heavy Sleeper and Cat Person.

According to the rules I have to play all sims that are moved or born into the family their whole life span.  I also to do their ltw's 

Now for Cheri, she will not be getting hers as her ltw is Heartbreaker.  I decided on the spouses if their ltw interferes with Eddie in any kind of way I'm not going to be doing it but I will make sure they max out their career which Cheri maxed out the education career or I will change their ltw with ltr points.

As for the girls and any future children brought into the house, I must choose a ltw from the selections on their YA birthday and work on it.  

The only ltw's that are not allowed to be done by anyone but Eddie are the World Adventure Exploring Tombs ltw.  That will be done by Eddie in the last season of this challenge.  Somehow staying away from those ltw's will not be difficult for me.

As of right now Eddie still needs to finish the business career (Level 9) and he has to max the book store part time career next  along with social networking, charisma and alchemy skill challenges to finish.  The collection hunter really set us back a bit but I'm sure he will finish before we finish in Sunset Valley.


One thing I like to do at the festival is have all my family members do the hot dog or pie eating contest especially if they are low on hunger.  This will max out their hunger bar while getting us a perfect group serving of food and some festival tickets.  I know he isn't at the table yet but Eddie did join eventually.  However something happened when the contest started.


Did you ever wonder what would happen if a sims birthday arrived right in the middle of a hot dog eating contest?  If you are like me you probably are saying no I never did however we are finding out whether we wanted to or not.  

Cheri's elder birthday happened during the contest which stops the entire thing. She stopped, the other contestants stopped and even the hot dogs disappeared off the table.



Here is Cheri as an elder.  According the the rules I can't freeze or roll back her age.  No one's age is allowed to be rolled back but Eddie's.  He is supposed to find a new wife in each season.  I know that this means all of these sims are going to die off but there will be a surprise ending.

Perfect Genie-alogy Generation 2

I'm still searching for the perfect house for them but I do think I need to go over the household.  The heir will be the first child that is a Genie, has green skin, green eyes and blue hair just like Catalina.


Catalina Su

Athletic, Family Oriented, Disciplined, Hopeless Romantic, Loves the Outdoors, Sailor and Friendly.

Her ltw of Physical Perfection is completed.


Zhan Su

Good Sense of Humor, Brave, Good, Charismatic, Athletic, 

ltw Seaside Savior


Daniel Su

Loves the Outdoors and Artistis

Genetic match 2 out of 4 Genie and Skin


Charlotte Su

Artistic and Disciplined

Genetic Match 2 out of 4 Genie and Hair.

No Perfect Genetic Heir but thanks to Risky Woohoo, Catalina is pregnant again.
