Your playstyle will be unique, and you should keep us updated about the goings on in your neighborhood.


Thanks! I'm in then

"Do I have to start the families as they were before the game?" No you do not have to start like I did, you can use the in game hood and have 2 gens already started. IE: Mortimer Goth as gen 1 and Cassandra and Alexander as gen 2.

" Is it alright if I have my own families that were already there before the challenge started?" Yes you can have your own families if you want to but you must follow the rules on the main names you must keep going for 10 gens.

Default Oldies
I've just finished playing with the Oldie family.

Herb and Coral adopted a daughter named Chris.

Chris might be the heir to the Oldie fortune when Herb dies.

Sadly, Coral died a couple of days before Chris became a teenager.

You can read all about it here.

I'll be playing the Broke family next.

All the main named teens have gotten there first kiss, Frida Goth picked Brian Marsh as her lover and will help carry the Marsh name forward.

Agnes Crumplebottom still has not chosen but she will in the next week of play.

I am waiting on finding the secondary name carriers mates this last week of teenhood.


ADD:
Tango Caliente has made his choice in one of the Tricou teens.

I was on a Goth family outing with the Crumplebottom's when Tango comes on the lot and head straight to the Tricou teen, he talk to her for a while and they played a few games then he leaps into her arms, choice made so on to the next secondary name carrier.

ADD: Loren Darong has made his choice in Tristen Love from downtown by given her a back rub. (Pics can be seen in post #68.)

Danny Simovitch has made his choice of a downtown teen name Jeannie Darga, they will carry the Simovitch foward.

The only 2 teens I know of that have tank tops on, Danny grew up to his and Jeannie has always had the tank top in my games.

There may be more teens with tank tops but I can not remember any at this time.

I've been meaning to update on my progress since forever but never got around to actually doing it. Now it's been 4 rotations (=28 in game days) since my last post and there's no way I'll recap everything that happened. But I can show you some pictures of what the families look like right now.

I'm going in alphabetical order here, so I'm starting with Broke:

Burb

Caliente

Dreamer

Goth

Langerak

Lothario

Pleasant (and no, I did not skip Oldie. The only Sim with the last name of Oldie is in college right now and doesn't have their own household)

Wow that is so creative! Plant spawn of Coral Oldie meaning you keep the name in the game! awesome. I never thought of that. Really cool update. I love all the hairs you have especially for the guy sims. It's nice to see you brought some of the key dead sims like Michael and Skip.

I've decided to start this challenge, and I've put all the names in a random order generator to decide the order of my rotation. It's : Broke, Lothario, Goth, Dreamer, Pleasant, Burb, Caliente, Langarek, Oldies. So far I've only done Broke & Lothario / Langarek.
Broke
I always struggle with playing the Broke's because the struggle is always so tedious to me and usually Brandi seems annoying to me. This time, I don't know why, she just pulled at my heart. Early on she lectures Dustin for his grades in front of Angela and Angela kisses him afterward and almost seems to cheer him up. It makes me think&plan for Dustin to want to be the kind of man Angela deserves- perhaps because he realizes he could and maybe should lose her... Beau grows into a child and takes upon most of the cleaning while Brandi is pregnant. Brandi gives birth to a baby boy named whom I named Tyler. Things began to turn around for the Brokes and the boys got A+ report cards as Tyler aged into a toddler. Brandi began to casually see Darren Dreamer (met as he was walking by) during Tyler's toddlerhood and he aged up at the end of the week.
Brandi's predestined hobby is Arts & Crafts in my game, I found out because I bought her a pottery wheel as something to do while she waited for the baby while the other two were at school. This made me start thinking of her and Darren as a couple with a very cute gallery of paintings and pottery, and they do seem to have a lot in common- even their sons have something in common (their taste in women, badum tsss!).
Lothario / Langerak
Don moved Kaylynn Langerak into the home and their romantic affair became very heated very fast. On an added benefit, his home also became very tidy. I don't think Kay is really looking for love, if she were she wouldn't be with two different, involved, men. I think I know what she wants. She found out she was expecting about halfway through the week. Don made it quite known that as far as he was concerned they wouldn't have children together and this child would remain fatherless so that he could go on to marry Cassandra. Alone, while Don was at work, Kay gave birth to a healthy pair of twins! Named Hollee and Brayson, Kay was ready to begin her little family. Don hardly noticed the newborns when he came home with his second promotion that week. He went straight to bed and the bonus money was siphoned by Kaylynn to build a small nursery attached to the back of the first floor.

Next is Goth, where hopefully Don will be a major feature as well.

I finally finished first my rotation!!
Goth

Dreamer

Pleasant

Burb

Caliente

Oldie

Pleasantview Updates


In Closing
I am trying to start with a "fresh" generation, so that the existing sims can be Gen X/0 and anyone who was teen or younger can be my Gen1s, that way I can kind of form these legacies [so called] fresh. I'm thinking of incorporating different legacy challenges (like the DITFT, or the Alphabet Legacy, etc) to keep me interested as time wears on. With these big challenges sometimes the families blur together so I want each to have their own 'theme' and generational rules. Right now I am setting that whole system up so I haven't started keeping points or really doing much toward the "challenge" part for me. The only Fresh Start I'm waiting on is the Caliente baby. Otherwise, I've got Alexander for the Goths and so on, and all the other families have had a few spares thrown in to also help flush the population so later inbreeding doesn't become a huge issue. If the trees spread out early on there should be plenty of branches to chose from later on.
Dustin Broke & Dirk Dreamer are going to Sim State Uni. The Pleasant Sisters & Alexander are going to Academie le Tour. They are going to be the start of my next rotation.
Eventually custom colleges will be built but for now I'm doing piece by piece renovations of different places and things.
I've also decided to keep a small census and install a more vast range of geneticized skintones O_O In other words, I am digging deep into this. My census will include Birth (rotation #/or age group at rotation1), Death (rotation #), Heritage (family blood lines in the person- ie, dreamer & broke for Brittney). I may add other information I want to keep track of as well.

This sounds like fun! I love Pleasantview and all the characters, so even if I don't finish this challenge, I'll at least have fun playing with it. Though, I'm going to add a bit to my version - I'm going to include Bluewater Village Sims as well, because I ship Dina Caliente/Malcolm Landgraab too much to not do that pairing. I'll post updates about my first rotation soon!

I imagine it would be, however, I would never have the focus and concentration to pull it off. You could always try.

sooper-shoopy - I fully expect everyone to tweak the challenge to do what most fits their play style or curiosities. So go right ahead. Yeah, I agree, those two are a match made for each other! haha.

SenPain - random occurrence scenarios = ROS. This is a list of negative and positive things a sim is to do, numbered from 1 to .... You can use random.org to roll to see what number to use and then you have to do the action. So some examples are... Lose your job | Makeover your Kitchen | Get a new BFF | Buy a Car | Take up Painting for a week | Divorce etc. It's basically a way to allow spontaneous & random things to happen to your sims to keep you from getting bored. Google it and you should find a good list.

I have decided to start pleasantview all over again. HAHA.

sooper-shoopy - This sounds like fun! I love Pleasantview and all the characters, so even if I don't finish this challenge,

So yup I totally understand sooper-shoopy. I'm the same way. Have fun till it is no more fun then move on. I find it hard to finish a big challenge like this. So it may take me a few.. hundred times. But that is what Sims 2 is all about, creation and evolution. Well at least for me.
