Sims Challenge – “Not So Berry” Challenge (Generation Intro)

Posted on by Katie Night

Hey Dearies! I know I think everyone has been waiting for me to FINALLY post an update on a Sims Challenge. With everything that’s been going on in my life, I have finally been able to update! 

So, if you don’t know what this challenge is, its of course a generation challenge where each generation you have to master a career and skills. I have also added the challenge of making the Sim that’s doing this chosen task to ALSO get a degree in the respected field. 

I just want to say, this is NOT my challenge, I think I found this on either Pinterest of the “Mod the Sims” site. I’m going to include the site where there are a TON of different challenges to try: https://modthesims.info/f/564/

Mod the Sims is an amazing resource, I highly recommend it for any Sims player to check it out. Its got mods, custom content, and so much more to check out. 

Anyway, so each Generation is a set color, career focus, and aspiration. Sometimes there are other “mini goals” you need to complete while working on your man goal. I’m also adding the degree too, which isn’t needed, but I figured it would make it more challenging and fun!

Most of the stuff I added extra was either skills that you needed to master in order to master the career or degree they needed or thought it would be fun to do while playing the game.

Also, for each of the generation colors, I’ve been mostly having their hair tips dyed with the same generation color they are in, so like the one I currently started, I dyed the tips of her hair a “mint” shade, so as she ages, it will stay that until shes an elder, which I still go in and make her tips that same color.

Pretty much once they hit elder stage, you can start focusing on the next generation by getting their skills ready to go. If there isn’t any limitations to how many kids you can have for each generation, you can have more to make it more challenging or even adopt pets. Those will help kill some time you need to age up your Sims as well.

So, I have started this challenge and I’m going to post an update for how each of the generations were, but keep in mind, I made their life spans last a little bit longer than usual, just so I could go back and do the degree part of the challenge.

Keep an eye on the next update I have with this challenge, I’m hoping to have it all set and done for this Friday and hopefully have updates on Fridays going forward. I’m honestly so excited to see how far I can get into this challenge! Wish me luck!

My Favorite Games I Love to Play

Posted on by Katie Night

Hey dearies! Since it’s been a busy week so far, I wanted to talk about the games that I love to play in my spare time.

For me, I mainly play on my PC, but I used to love playing on PS4. I figured since it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything for gaming, I should talk about the main games that I love to play.

Minecraft

I love playing Minecraft, I actually remember playing the first version of Minecraft. It’s a love hate that I have for the game. It’s fun to play, but there are some things that piss me off with the game.

Survival World is my favorite version to play because I like the Survival component. Creative Mode is fun, but its not something I want to play all the time.

Plus, they do add little things that make the game better, more challenges to try and do. I would love to try the mods that they have out there for it, but I have to upgrade my computer in order for that to happen.

Stardew Valley

I think Stardew Valley is such an amazing game. It’s got a little bit of everything and you don’t have to make money by just farming, you can fish or mine in order to make money.

Plus you can make friends to unlock different things, especially the Town Hall. Once you finish the bundles, you unlock the mine carts so your not running everywhere.

You can also get married and have kids, but the downfall is that you can’t use them to have them help you on the farm. Basically, they are useless, just there to complete your “farm life”.

It really gives me the creativity to make a farm that I really like and plus I even started making my own book to kinda help me out when finding out how much money I can get from different crops or fish or gems.

I also found a recipe book for Stardew Valley, that I just ordered and can’t wait for it to get here, so I can recreate some of these recipes that I’ve made in the game.

The Sims Saga

I’m a huge fan of Sims and I’m really only a big fan of the Sims 2 and 3. The reason why I love two are the graphics and the different activities you can do.

The reason why I love Sims 3 because it’s an open world and you don’t have to deal with any loading screen. Not to mention, I love that there’s more decorative options you can do.

I also love adding mods are so much fun to add to the game that and I also love adding different jobs or finding out if a Sim is pregnant. I just wish my computer ran faster because the graphics aren’t working for my computer.

My favorite thing I love about Sims are the challenges that you can do. Plus I have a few that I want to play and blog about as well!

Those are just the main 3 that I play on my PC. I am hoping that once I upgrade my PC, my game library will open a little bit more.

I also want to talk about my favorite games for each of the gaming systems I grew up with, such as gameboy, DS, Wii. PS1, 2, & 3, etc. Let me know if you have a favorite game or game system you love playing on.
