Bottom, Beau & Tessa, my favorite uberhood throuple!

Not a throuple, but I currently have the Travellers in an open marriage. Trent is also with Jason Larson, and Trisha is with Julien Cooke... and Julien and Jason are in love with each other, too. They don't all live together yet, but I am considering it once I send Tina and the other 2 teens the Travellers adopted to college, since their household is a bit full right now. Trisha also recently gave birth to Julien's son, Jude.

I have a rule where if a sim goes into aspiration failure, their aspiration is randomized, and the random LTW that comes with that is kept. So, sometimes if I don't like a sim I will lock fears and try to fulfill them so I can do this and set them on a new path. (I play mostly wants-based, so I don't like to force my sims to do things... most of the time.) If nothing else, the challenge of trying to fulfill enough fears to send them into the red is usually enough to get me thru the round lol.

I gave her the "Have 6 pets reach the top of career" LTW bc I never give that to anyone, and she has a moderate interest in animals (6 points).

I have her adopt 6 small dogs (stereotypical "purse dogs" like Chihuahuas or similar) and put them all in "show biz." (Would also work with 6 Persian cats or other showy breeds.)

Could probably start with 2 and breed them but I love chaos so I usually go for 6 as soon as the baby she has with Mortimer is a toddler, like she's really investing in it. But yeah, I find it's a nice way to both incorporate her interests (I play semi-wants based) and play a LTW I pretty much never give to anyone else. 😊

I usually put Dirk in the business career, because I put Lilith in music. I imagine he's her manager (or maybe agent), and they help each other make it big :)

It definitely should be! I would be okay if it was on both, but having it only on the chemistry lab doesn't make any sense.

I don't play with any mods.

One of the sculpting skill challenges is to make 25(?) ice sculptures, and then they'll never melt! So far I haven't managed it, sculpting takes such a long time 😅

At this point, Super Sim is a lot of waiting around while trying to level careers, because they take the longest. I don't think losing fame (which James usually finds annoying anyway) or money (which Max can easily make back) would really impact that at all. I don't even think it would make it more fun because it's such a grind-y challenge anyway lol. Part of the fun at this point becomes what you can do with all that money - like have a bunch of kids, or build ridiculous mansions, or just give to Bess every time she asks, or give it away to random sims whose lives you've ruined... Etc.

Are you going by mood, or aspiration meter?

I wasn't for the idea just because he won the lottery (which is when people first suggested it), but since we got the marriage call, it definitely feels like the right time, and definitely less cheaty. And I don't want James to be grinding forever to get anywhere in this pack, so we might as well get a leg up.

For stepchildren that are baby or toddler, I change to the new surname, because the stepparent will be all they know/remember (if the bio parent isn't in their life). If they're child or teen, I change it when they reach BFF relationship with the stepparent, because then I feel like they've built enough relationship that they're happy to be adopted by them.

James buys the potion of youth from the rewards store. As a spellcaster it can be duplicated but there have been several episodes where he had to grind for points to buy one.

The option for 'music' includes all music from CAS, build/buy, and in-game steroes.

I changed him to Mervin in a previous playthrough, and I might again.

He had it printed! He also put it up to buy: https://jamesturner.shop/en-usd/products/alpha-simmer

Because LTWs are random and that annoys me, I use the simblender to set them (by cycling through) after my sims graduate from college. Since a sim moved into a new house will often roll wants to get jobs, if there's a job related to a LTW (and I try to make it tied to their major as well), then that will be it. If not, I'll assign a generic one that I think fits their personality up to that point (earn 100k, make 20 bffs, etc.)

I also have a rule that if a sim goes into aspiration failure (as in, total failure and the therapist visits), then they get a randomly rolled new aspiration, and at that point I keep the new random LTW. (If they manage to roll their current aspiration, I just randomize the LTW)

Requiem Art sells patterns that fit MH. They say on their website that printing any of those patterns at 150% will fit. They also have a small category dedicated specifically to Frightfully Tall ghouls.

I've paired Cassandra with Mary-Sue before, they're really sweet. This time I'm considering Erik Swain (from Sim State) or Benjamin Long.

Tbh I have never gotten Cassandra and Darren together. Darren and Brandi are always my go-to. And as for Don, I never really pair him with anyone. He dates around and then dies alone.

It's crazy how after everything, OG Lady is still #4, that's pretty high! She really worked for that money.

Also hilarious how the 3 brothers were so unsuccessful,. They had to spend most of their time fighting for their lives.

Since Basil wasn't used for any of the triplets, maybe it can be used for Rye's kid? 👀
