I didn't know you could gain Body skill on a community lot with Jump Rope. You have a nice sized garden going! I'm planning on expanding mine when (if) my Homeless offspring becomes a teen. I don't think I'd even try this challenge with that harder skills hack.

I found out in my early Apocalypse attempts that napping on seating just doesn't cut it when compared to the tent or a regular bed, even the crappy ones.

I love Christy's new hair - can you tell me where you got it?

I should have probably said I also have the mod for skilling on community lots, otherwise you can't. I think seeing my skill points take so long it's still fair. I can have them sleep there too, but I make sure to only use the bench.

The way I'll play it, is grow a lot of eggplants so they can drink their skill points. This is why I am so happy gardening badges weren’t effected.

I'll see if I can find where her hair comes from.

The hair is by trapping and Half way down the page here: http://thebigtradeoff.livejournal.com/19485.html

This was a lot of fun to read - and most impressive you play it commando-style with your harder skills mod!
I need something to revive my flagging interest in playing.

Hi Pink!

Only because I plan to have them drink those skills. ;) The double aging helps give them more time to skill, although I'm not sure if the toddler years are going to be easy out there.

Aw, I like Christy's face template, Chloe (Piaget's wife) had that face. :)

Yay for her becoming a witch, that was some fast befriending!

The lot looks good with the garden and the tent and the shack, much improved. :)

Haha, Circe looks so evil. :D

Does she, that’s nice. :) I wouldn't remember stuff like that.

I don't know if it will help much, but it's cool at least. Free Time perks and water balloon fights, also they must have just got along, evil witch or not.

Looks good lol! I finally remembered to add the fire place barrel (on the first day of spring!) Only they were blue and up a little early.

Not sure if the tennis dress for gym wear suits her, but Circe as a witch amuses me. Now she can do her evil cackle around town and look like the crazy woman she is.

Now you're cooking with gas! :) It looks like you're being quite successful after a bit of a slow start. Once you can drink your points, it should go even faster!

I don't think that the execuputter or community lot skilling are cheating, since you're using hacks that make it so much harder otherwise.

I don't know if it's challenge-legal, but you can increase gardening badges faster by fertilizing, planting, watering, and then ripping out the plants and composting them as soon as they show up. (Continue as many times as you like.) Of course, that doesn't give you any food to stock the fridge with...

Great job once again!

Lol, the extent of their cooking has been to grab the occasional instant meal. ^_^

Was I right to think as a president she should have come with an exoputter though? I thought it may have been my aging her up and back that got rid of it. Not that I’ve been able to use anything in inventory as you can only swap things around at midnight and they are either asleep/at work/taking care of needs such as those plants. Her witches book stood out a whole 24 hours and got looked at a total of five sim minutes.

There isn't anything about gardening in the rules except things under the buy tag (apart from pools, walls and roffs) are allowed. So my take is I can use the garden as I like. Poor plants! I've never ripped out newly planted babies. Cruel woman you. :P I might just give it a go. :D

Thanks esme!

Yes, by President level she should have had an execuputter. That was just fixing a glitch.

Hey, if it's a choice between me or a plant, I'll choose me every time. :P
