What current projects are you working on?

[Alexandria_]

I'm interested in hearing what other people are working on, or playing, but aren't posting pictures for on the forum.

For example, at the moment I've deleted everything from Sunset Valley and have made 10 families to start out in huts like cavemen to play that way and see how it goes.
What kind of things are you playing at the moment, or plan to play?

[Seabody]

I'm currently playing a project where I start a Legacy/Dynasty, then end up giving up and cheating.

I plan to play a new Immortal Dynasty (which I may post), with a slight twist (or like a twist).
Of course, I need Metro's permission for the twist first.

I'm also planning on writing an updated version of the Legacy Challenge rules, mainly because I don't want to wade through fan versions, or update Pinstar's rules when I need to. I've also seen a contradiction in his rule set, so I need to set about fixing that.

Seabody, have you tried Aaroc's legacy? I quite liked that one.

My current project is a small tropical island world of only 15x15 lots (some rabbit holes don't fit on the 10x10 lots). I have aimed for it to be an island discovered only recently, and as such all the buildings are very modern. I've counted the spawners in all the worlds (excpet AP - I still have to do that one) and have then balanced the number, keeping SV as a standard. I still have to build quite a lot of houses, and just a few more community lots now.

I lost a little bit of steam after pets came out, but I intend on adding the new lot types, and a few of my own community lot creations. Plus, with the new content from my new SPs and from pets I can replace some of the store content with other items, making it more accessible to those who want to download any of the lots. Once all my buildngs are done, I'm going to add either the same amount of beautiful vista lots, or a proportionate amount compared with SV, and make the prices of purchasable lots similar to those in EA worlds. I have also set a legacy/dynasty lot to the correct price so it can be used for an unofficial dynasy/legacy.

I'm busy installing pets! Fingers crossed for graphic card and crashes

I've been playing a Big Brother Project except it isn't getting anywhere as after 2 people were eliminated, I made a new sim as I got bored of the same old faces!

Hope your Pets treats you well lovesims! Mine has been reat so far!

I'm trying to finish up my 4x4 challenge.  I'm at week 9, day 2 and while I'm certain I'll finish, it is kind of a struggle.  I've come too far to quit, but I'm not quite into the home stretch yet.

Once that's done, I have a fun idea for a story.  So many other contribute here, I think it's time I gave it a shot, too.  I've got some things planned out: a female sim with lots of children, bird-themed names, a house plan.  It might be more documentary than narrative, but it's about the sharing, right?     I'm a one-at-a-time person when it comes to projects, though, so I need a few more solid simming days to finish the 4x4.

I create my first pets and they look fine loading take a little longer but that's ok. I have a meteor challenge lol!

[Alexandria_]

Oh wow, we are all busy!

Chuckles, that sounds like big work. Well done on creating it

LoveSims, what is the meteor challenge you're doing?

[Sportsfan]

I have the stories that I write here and one other game.
I don't have much time to play so the stories take up most of my time.

[Ausette]

At the moment I'm trying to branch out a little, making Sims and houses in different styles than I'm used to. It's messy, but I've gotten a couple of gems from it, like Mandy here:

[CSquared2]

I quite like her, Ausette!  I've noticed many sims in players' games look similar, probably the result of using the template features without altering them.  When a truly realistic sim comes along, it makes you do a double take!

[loveSims]

LoveSims, what is the meteor challenge you're doing?

It is the one you get when you move a sim the first time in. He make good money with picking up all the rocks! My neat sim having a blast cleaning the house

I have several projects on the go -

I saw a 100 baby challenge in the official forums, modified it for my own sake (adopt children every Sun/Wed with Normal life span) the children grow up fast, you have to keep them happy, traits are random, and I keep all souvenirs/ prom pictures/ graduation awards etc in a 'gallery' downstairs, plus mother paints portraits of each kid as they turn into young adults.  Only life time reward mum is allowed to buy is the "young again" potion as I'll never make it 100 children  - already used it once and only on child 15.  Bigger challenge than I thought - put on hold thanks to pets.

Also a challenge (again on Sims official forum) for making the Disney princesses - which I did (Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Belle) and then built a manor home for them, and now playing them, with the introduction of pets its slowed some.

Also had the gardener family - they live in tents and make all their money off growing veggies. Of course having babies is a hassle since the babies can't sleep in tents - so there is a tent with a baby crib sitting outside. 

I love reading about what other people are up to, gives me ideas to do it myself!

[MoMoll]

Presently, I'm working on how many children and husbands my sims can obtain (using the "young again potion"). That is until I get Pets. Just biding my time for the moment.

Currently, I'm working on two projects.  

One is a creepy house that makes efficient use of the Gothique Sets, which is almost done.  Instead of going with the biggest lot and building an extravagant mansion, I showed some restraint and built a much smaller home on a 40x40 lot.  I made heavy use of Fog Emitters (to create...fog, of all things lol), as well as a few WA buydebug items (and you know what that means lol).  I'm currently down to landscaping on that one, and I'm doing a fair job if I do say so myself.

The other is an eco-friendly home that uses the Butterfly Pavilion from Late Night as the main structure of the house.  I knew it was going to be a daunting task, but I wasn't exactly prepared for the reality of it.  It's essentially an outdoor build, and you'd think that would make it easier, but I've discovered (and overcome) a few inherent issues related to working with that particular game item.  Landscaping (which as you know isn't my strong suit) plays a very important role in this build, so I'm learning quite a bit about it.

Both of these projects are "live builds," meaning that I'm not building them in edit town mode:  there are Sims living in them and I'm using the money they earn to build.  Although, I did cheat a little on the creepy house by building the shell of the house and moving a sim in using the "freerealestate" cheat lol.

I'll post a few screen shots of the "Bio-Home" in the Building and Construction showboat thread soon, simply because I want to make sure I'm on the right track with the landscaping part.
