I think it will, at least so far it's been a great deal of fun. :)
Hehe, thanks! I do think most people tweak a little bit, to get the challenge to their liking.
That's my suspicion too, it'd make sense to me. When I read about it, opinions seemed to vary on the requirements (no cheating, no getting caught cheating, cheating / getting caught is ok if they fully recover the relationship...), so I suppose this will be an experiment. But I'd guess it'll be ok.
Yeah, the poor cashier girl has to witness a lot of woohoo on the work! I do wonder why such an averse reaction to Brandi and John, since usually the same cashier girl has gone and cheered at everyone. And she wasn't the only one, other spectators seemed to disapprove, too. Maybe they saw it as cheating towards someone else (at least John has been getting around, to some extent Brandi too).
Less than 10 simoleans? Phew, well that's tight! I got really lucky with John, getting a doublewide right away. They aren't rich by any means (as you can probably tell from the fact that I exempted them from taxes), but for a TPC they're doing quite well.
Oh yes, that was quite a good party! If only Lizzie would stop falling in love with strange elder men... But I suppose that's part of the attraction of parties by now!
It's odd with the baby clothes, maybe you'd happen to know. The thing is, I can buy *some* baby clothes with the teddy bear, but it looks like not all of the ones I have are showing up in the catalog. (Of course, it's hard to tell because the previews on the baby clothes are so tiny.) I think I saw all of them earlier, but not lately.
The instructions that came with Chris Hatch's mod said that when buying the baby clothes, I should click on "buy clothes for..." and then a *toddler's* name, and that when the buying screen comes up, I shouldn't click on any age icons. Which I can't do with no toddlers in the house of course (and when the screen comes up, the adult category is selected, so I need to click on the toddler button to see the baby clothes). So I'm wondering if there's something about part of the baby clothes that makes them not show up when I've had to click on the age icons. I'd suspect corrupt files, but I keep my cc read only, so that shouldn't be the case. Quite odd, I'll have to test with a household that has a toddler, too.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how Brandi and John turned out. :)
I was tossing around the idea of having different levels of taxes or something such (I think I've seen someone do that), but in the end decided that it's the simplest to let them off the hook entirely at least for now. Even with the default 5% tax rate, they'd only contribute a bit over a thousand simoleans per week or so, so they aren't really setting back earning a public university at all. Maybe if they somehow manage to land on a huge windfall that'd be out of scale for a TPC, they can donate that to the tax fund. But I do think Fuzzy did a pretty good job on closing the loopholes on any such windfalls. ;)
Thanks, Esme, and thanks for reading and commenting! ^^
