Totally Turning the Townies...Alphabetically

Totally Turning the Townies...Alphabetically

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Goal
You asked for the vampires so we brought them to you. But there is one catch, your vampire does not want to be alone. So turn the town Sim by Sim, letter by letter.

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Specific Challenge Rules
  • If you have Tiny Living Stuff, it must be disabled before starting.
  • In CAS, create a YA Vampire.
  • No household additions.
  • You cannot  Age up any Sims
  • Each Sim you turn must fall further down the line alphabetically than the previous one. When two Sims have different first names, like Bella Goth and Alice Kim-Lewis, then Alice needs to be turned before Bella. If your Sim has plans to pursue two Sims with the first name, then refer to their last name as to who must turn to a vampire first.
  • You are only allowed to go through the alphabet once.
  • The challenge ends on Week 3, Sunday, 8 a.m.

Scoring

Turned Sims: You get 1 point for each Sim you turned.

No more locked threads. :) Feel free to ask questions here if you wish. But, PMing the team is okay too if you'd prefer to keep strategy to yourselves.

If you don't have Vampires, do you have to mark DNF?

Not at all, you just would take a pass on this event.

*Crawls out of coffin* A Vampire challenge?! Oh man, you know this is my jam! Now I can finally create a Vampire Army to take over the Tournament with! ;D Challenge Team, I love you all so much for this I could hug you! *Gathers the Team in a group hug anyway* Fangs so much for not forgetting us occult players and giving us a challenge that we can really Sink our teeth into! Morrigan Van Helsing will return for this challenge, you can count on it! ;)

When you create a Vampire, you need to witness the transformation for it to happen, does this mean that after we turn Sims, we need to have them transform in front of us?

Can we turn Sims randomly generated by the game or pre-made Sims only? I'm guessing we won't be allowed to age children up early to turn them? Adding another question I forgot to ask, can we turn Sims not in a household, such as the homeless celebrities for example?


Hey @Metropolis Man, I got a question especially for you: :D

Q: What do you get if you cross a Snowman with a Vampire?

 if we turn Bella Goth for example and then bump into a new sim called Barry von homeless we cannot change him unless we go right around the alphabet and back to B again right?

Sounds like Barry Von Homeless had a lucky escape.

I disagree, I think Barry Von Homeless missed out on a great opportunity, I mean who wouldn't want to be immortal and all powerful for all of eternity, I mean sure there's whole being undead thing but that's just a minor inconvenience. ;) Being able to disable annoying Sims or have them be under your command to do as you please with them or simply drive them batty is worth it and passing that up would be a grave mistake. 8)

Imagine how sad it would be if Barry's wife Betty Von Homeless gets turned without him. This is the vampire love story we all need.

Then we just turn Betty Von Homeless as well and it would still be a better Vampire love story than Twilight. ;)

@Vesper Thank you, I try. @Metropolis Man loves my Vampire puns, I do them every Vampire challenge just for him, he thinks they are fangtastic.

Tagging on to this - the order is based upon when your sim bites them, right?  Not when they actually transform?  Because they could be bitten in the right order, but transform out of order (have had this happen before).

Thanks!

I'll answer this one with a yes, it's bite order.
