@Shewolf13 Yes, it's just the first career but the feeling of lifting a restriction is really great. The metaphor "why do you hit your head against the wall? because stopping feels so good" comes to mind.
@LivvieLove Thank you for your appreciation of his achievements. *winks I don't mind a full house if it means I can rid myself of some of the more irksome restrictions. Twins mean the ban against planning
outfits gets lifted this generation. I do hope your cough gets better....
@tjtemple I'm glad you got a kick out of The Tricer chapter--it got a little weird, even for me! Ahhh, the twins. Yes, they mean one less child between Tatsuya and Yuki (oops, spoiler?) but one restriction
lifted earlier. About the full lips, that's just a personal preference. In my dynasty, Gen2 married a woman with very full lips and they persisted to the end of the dynasty, no matter who married in.
I love the fuller lips on female sims, which is no doubt the reason why the full lips kept getting passed on in my dynasty. For male sims, I prefer the thinner Jin/Satoru Sanada lips.
I use the word "flounder" in two senses. One, I'm trying to do a better job of not talking about the restrictions all the time (like my first attempt) but also not leaving readers in the dark too much.
Two, I couldn't decide how or whether to keep the post-apocalyptic aspect of the challenge going. I decided my visual happiness is more important.
@Nettlejuice I agree that the game has been pretty nice so far with the hair and clothing choices...so far. Two of my kids wear the dark red hat, which I still prefer to the ear flaps.
Yes, if Tats and Yuki like each other this time, too, I'll want them together. Erika is having second thoughts about Paolo though because...reasons.
@KRae Hey! One age-inappropriate relationship just got appropriate!
Thanks to comments by you and LivvieLove about the house seeming oblivious to its surroundings, I thought up an excuse to get rid of
the grunge!
@wfgodot About the house size, the house has to fit into an 8x8 grid but may extend upwards or downwards (Secret Agent/Villain restriction). Once an object with a footprint larger than 1x1 is
placed, it may not be moved, ever (Bodybuilder restriction). So yeah, that's why they live in a box, lol. That's also why I'm enjoying having other lovely houses around to look at.
Yes, I'm happy that Tatsuya shares several of Satoru's features. Because this challenge requires an emphasis on traits over looks in order to clear the all-important career restrictions,
I worry that the genes of the Wonder Child's parents will gradually wear thin. Speaking of genes, I can't wait to see Cam!
Ah yes, Yuki! I'm glad everyone's chill with Yuki returning.
