Weekly simming 35/2018
Sep. 2nd, 2018 10:21 pmThis week, there was some progress again. Mostly in the weekend, during the week I was mostly busy and sticking to my routine.
I continued writing up the Broke household. It looks like I have about 100 pictures to go through yet, so not quite there but it's progressing. Just tonight I also played a little bit: the Cameron household had a quick rotation of one day next in line, so I went ahead and played that day. Mostly just relationship and token maintenance, and Sean continues to hang on at least until next rotation. (Generation B are mostly dead by now, but Sean is one of the few exceptions.) So all's good there, and I have more picspam to queue again. Only the Mendozas remain in the main 'hood rotation, too. I'm again very pleased with the new shorter rotation.
Even though I haven't been actually doing anything for it, I've been thinking about the apocalypse. I started collecting some apocalyptic cc, mostly just to see what I could gather. I'm considering rebooting the challenge (from when Sal is done with college) to see if that would re-spark my interest. Of course, I did do quite well the first time around, so re-starting is a new risk that I might actually fail with the first career lift, or do worse than I did previously. But there are a couple things that annoy me with what I've done game-wise, so... I could of course just plug in a backup and try playing again, I could always just revert to the current situation if that goes south. The dream thing is handy in that it would be no problem to explain the restart in the story.
I'm also considering a personal rule that I'd get a "save point" after every lift, so that if I'm not happy with how things go or just plain fail, I could go back to a previous lift rather than start completely over. I don't know if that might feel cheaty to someone, but seeing the plot-heavy story and the fact that I'm an apocalypse newbie, I'd be willing to accept that. This is all just speculation for now, but I am thinking about the apocalypse. The crazy challenge still tempts me, and I'd want to get to it, to really try to do it. For now, I'll let stuff brew and see how it goes. I do have a lot on my plate, so one thing at a time.
Alright, enough babble for one night. Off to bed now, and we'll see how next week goes. G'night!
