This is a playthrough that I started with the intention of playing all the way through until the kids grew up and moved out and started families. However, life happened, and I just didn’t have time on Saturdays to play it anymore. Will it make a comeback? Perhaps. I’d like it to!

That being said – it started with my “Engles” family (if you watch my Simlit section, they were in there), and I added another occult kid due to more occults being added.. and eventually, a Servo showed up to help out. We started with the mom, a dog, and six kids.. so yes, the household is overstuffed with Eva the servo. The kids started as toddlers, and are now teens. A really fun playthrough that I took the chance to try out a whole bunch of realism mods for.

This was started on-screen after the Dream Home Decorator pack came out, and I had a lot of fun playing around with it. However, being that it was a save made just to explore a new pack’s potential, I doubt I will be bringing this save back into the rotation. Unless something drastic changes, count this challenge as “retired”.

I came up with this challenge from a Random wheel challenge I found online as a way to involve chat in the sims’ lives. I wasn’t 100% happy with all the things on the wheel, though, so the wheels will need re-writing before I continue or restart this challenge. Strangely, this was also very low on the voting scale of a challenge people wanted to see come back, so it may get stuffed into the “retired” category.

I found this challenge from a twitter post, and have never been sorry I found it. It is hands-down the hardest challenge I’ve ever done, and I am extremely proud of myself for actually completing it. I have half a mind to find another fixer-upper home and have the heir to this challenge start in on refurbishing another house sometime, but we’ll see. This challenge starts with a DISASTER of a home that is completely locked, and you make a couple of sims, a pet, and a toddler… this family must then live on the lawn while desperately trying to work on skills to unlock each room in their house in order. Three skills are required for each room, and you only have to get them to level 5 to unlock the room, which sounds easy.. But with pet(s) and a toddler, and living on the lawn – it is not easy at ALL. Add into that that the house is HAUNTED and comes with a ghost (that I decided should remain unplayed).. And you have one very crazy, very difficult challenge. Highly recommended. Rules, if you’re interested, are here. See “more” (or below) for the youtube playlist.

Amazingly, I did finish this challenge, although it is not all uploaded to youtube (yet). It was SUPER fun, and I honestly might resurrect this family eventually and have the heir start on another house.

Even though I’ve only been streaming since fall of 2020, I already have some challenges that I’ve either completed (Hoarders, I’m looking at you here..) or retired. Any of these has a chance of being resurrected at any time, so I figured writing a little bit about each of them was probably a good idea.
