I love your new blog, Becky! Eagerly anticipating some nooboos :D
I've got a new chapter up too! It's a little on the short side because I had to cut it in half. :0

Ahhhh!
Sorry, I had to deal with health issues, but I am back (for now) with a new chapter: http://toolsieplaysthesims3.blogspo...ersion-two.html
It's short, but at least Gen Three is on the way now.

I could never leave you guys! <3 Especially since I'll have a ton of free time coming up in about a month! And it looks like I'll have Thursday off for reading and being awesome. 8)
So a quick note, for the purpose of transparency--I had to reinstall my games because a thunderstorm fried my computer. My husband fixed it AND saved the Bees (I think--I haven't tested ALL my saves yet, but I'm working on it), but it reset everything including my age span. So I'm kinda breaking the rules because I think I set the age span higher (I don't remember what it was at, but it was pretty high so I set it to the longest possible for everything except babies). I figured it's no big deal, but I wanted to rant and rules seemed to be a good vehicle for that. XD
Also, I uploaded Karl to my tumblr, just in case anyone other than Annie wanted him.

Phew! Good thing Mr Owly is a computer whiz and saved the Bees! O_O And they got some additional days of life out of it, which sounds like a win to me tbh.
Thank you so much for uploading Karl! I promise to feed him and walk him and clean up his messes <3

Ouch! I'm glad all of your saves are okay! When I saw the tumblr post about a fried computer I somehow thought it was a repost and someone else's computer got fried.
Anyway, bad April 1st joke was bad. So here's the real chapter: 1.1 Haze of Sunset

I've been unexpectedly lately, and my save file keeps crashing, so Chapter 2 is out earlier than expected. Short one again, hopefully when my frustration wears off I'll have more screenshots to share with you all
Chapter 2: Finding and Getting People to Like You
Edit: Good to see you back Owl face!! Glad your sims are doing OK
Call me Mud, if you like.

Aaaand two whole months later, here I am with an update!
2.45 All is Well
EDIT: While updating my other asylum blog, I got really nostalgic for the legacy that led to one of the sims in that blog and decided to make a proper blog for that family too... I've put up all the chapters I have written out, I'll just link the first and last one here. There are 12 in total so far!
1.1 Just so
1.12 Glacial

Hi all, good to see you- checking in as the week's been crazy and I can't get into my game let alone update (my awesome brother set up a raid array so even thought I lost a hard drive my pc is still up and running right now, just too slow!) Sparrows are fine and all, but I nearly lost everything, thank God for brothers! <3
Good to see Owly, I'll be reading along with updated from you all once I have a second to breathe!
Bread edges.... are the new white meat.

Yay for double updates!! So much reading to do <3
New chapter is up, this will be the last one before I do some serious game maintenance. I have already planned out a chunk of my weekend devoted to it, lol.
->>Chapter 3: A Strange Request
I also have a question for those of you who blog plot-heavy chapters. Do you guys do most of the story stuff in a separate save? What's your method? Also, any tips anyone might have on organizing your saves would be much appreciated. ><''

Another update for the Silverlys due to a huge backlog of material (a whole 4 generations )
1.13 Pretend to be Decent
EDIT: @Big Mud
Depends on what kind of scene I'm going for. All of my current story for the Winterlys in Bridgeport is in a separate save, so were pose-heavy chapters or anything that required me to make a set (like the police station). But just for plot related to relationships between characters (like fights, friendly interactions, romance) I keep it in my main save.
As for organizing the saves, I just give them self-explanatory titles, like Bridgeport Pose Save.

Chapter 2.4 - Birthdays and Ghosts, Oh My!
I am back with a new chapter, mainly because I am still lacking on the job front. BUT, I do have a job interview on the 12th, so that's good :D

Is there any restriction on lotto tickets? Cuz I bought one on a whim during my first day and won 50k, lol. It seemed crazy cheaty so I put 90% of it in the bank and I'm playing it like she's getting a 10% allotment every seven days instead of a lump sum. I didn't see anything about it in the rules though...

General rule #4: It is intended that your sims ONLY make money with the activities outlined in their career roll.
Under the spoiler are the exceptions and clarifications. Lotto ticket isn't on there. So no, your legacy sims may not purchase lotto tickets if you are strictly following the rules.
General rule #4: It is intended that your sims ONLY make money with the activities outlined in their career roll.
But there are some EXCEPTIONS. Exceptions are: (1) you may complete opportunities for money, provided those opportunities don't violate some other rule, (2) making money with the telescope is fine, since discovering stars, celestial bodies and meteors is a considered a random event, (3) so yes your sim may also sell meteors, (4) you may invest in rabbithole businesses and other venues for income [including Island Paradise resorts as well as restaurants built with the Premium Content bistro set], (5) any teens in your household may have part-time jobs if you wish, (6) if your spouse has items in their inventory when you acquire them, you are free to sell those items, but this does not apply to sims who are only in your household temporarily [for example, if you've rolled single parent, and have the spouse around only long enough for a child to be born, you are not allowed to sell items from this sim's inventory], (7) if you have the store content slot machines, you are free to use them, but try not to abuse [for money bags from Claw Machine, you can use shift+click to delete the money bag or unwanted toys], (8) a kleptomaniac may only sell items they've stolen if they are in one of the two criminal career branches, (9) your sim may receive donations from blogging [you may not ASK for donations or sell your blog, but if you get unsolicited donations, you may keep them], (10) at Uni, or if you've placed the Uni Science rabbithole in your main world, you may make donations of plasma/saliva/giggles once per week [one donation total, not one of each].
NOTE: Your sim may begin their career as soon as the game allows them to do so. If your heir has rolled artist, and you know which child will be heir, they may begin selling their paintings as soon as childhood.
NOTE about random gifts from weddings, celebrity status, simport, attraction system, whatever: you may NOT sell these items for money. You may keep them in your house and use them, or delete them without receiving money for them.
NOTE about salvaging free furniture from dumpsters or the art school rabbithole: you may keep any furnishing you pick up, but you may not sell them (unless your sim is in the Dumpster Diving career). If you don't want what you got, you may delete it without getting money for it.
NOTE about the time portal from the ITF, since there was confusion... this annoying thing will spawn on your lot. You may delete it, but you may not sell it for money. Try not to abuse ITF features.

Thanks for clarifying! I wasn't sure if things that were excluded from mention were free choice or not. I think I'll just delete the money then- I'm only just starting the challenge.
