I played some sims today and I got in my head that I really want to try a generations game again. I keep trying and failing and just turning aging off because I love my sims too much! I was determined to do it this time, then made the prettiest sim I ever have made. lol So...we'll see.
After watching Simsie make a tiny home with bonus features to the lot, I challenged myself to make one. It is REALLY hard to make a lot only 32 squares but I managed, with all the amenities but only a twin-sized bed and no table/chairs for the kitchen. Worst of all, really no room for a desk and computer unless I get rid of the combo TV/bookshelf/stereo unit. I don't think I will. I want to send her to college but I decided she'd just use the library for all her school stuff.
So the super tiny lot size gives you a huge boost in skill-learning speed, combined with her already increased speed from the knowledge (college) aspiration and other lot traits. She prepared one group meal of fruit salad and jumped to cooking level 3!!! Sweet deal.
My second order of business was getting her married so they can have kids and start to build a family. I sent my sim to a lounge to mingle. She just ended up pissing everybody off and embarrassing herself and I don't know how. She was literally making enemies so I just sent her home. Then I tried a one-on-one tactic instead of group setting, and sent her to a seafood restaurant with an NPC named Jeb Harris...only to realize there were no romance options...because he was only a teen! Also he had a bag on his head. So I found Jeb's family (in Ego living) and played with them for a day. I aged him up, removed the bag from his head, changed his clothes from all-farmer-overalls to regular clothes, and made the other adults in the household (dad and grandma) get jobs. Mom was supporting the whole house hold, including Jeb and his little brother!
I then had Jeb take my sim, Linh, out to dinner at a pretty, fancy garden restaurant I downloaded. They had really hit it off before, but now I could use romance options since they're both adults, and he proposed to her right there and she accepted. lol I am now thinking I'll have her move in with his family after the wedding so once I turn aging on his grandma can pass, his little brother can grow up and move out, etc. It's just so fun and easy playing with one sim but I can't get their partners to do what I want unless I control them, too. Jeb also needs a job or college, himself... It's turned into a whole big thing. lol I wanted to start the generation but I've gained two prior ones, it seems!
