Sims 3 Through History Challenge

Recently I started the Sims 3 Through History Challenge and I figured why not share my progress here! As I progress through the challenge I will post my progress here. As of creating this post I am on my second generation so we have a little bit to catch up on. This generation has a point system for each generation which I will share at the end of each one.

Generation 1 - Prehistoric

My first generation started with two sims, Kewanee and Mikasi Hoken. The town they started in was Appaloosa Plains, but halfway through after giving birth to 5 of their 6 children, they moved to Dragon Valley for the next generation. I made Kewanee focus on levelling up her gardening and cooking skill and I made Mikasi focus on levelling up his painting skill. Kewanee gave birth to 6 children: Athelesia and Randolph (twins), Wiliame, Ismey, Audouin, and Niki, but they gave birth to Niki after Randolph, the heir, moved out.

Points:

Gardening Skill (female): 10 points

Fishing Skill (male): 5 points

Mastered Painting Skill: 0 points

Mastered Cooking Skill (female): 0 points

Mastered Athletic Skill (male): 5 points

Children Born On Lot: 50 points

Generation 2 - Medieval

This generation starts with the oldest male heir, which in this case is Randolph. After he aged up into a young adult, I moved him out and gave him the lifeguard profession since any male in this generation can have any full-time job. During this he met Shannon MacAnna-O'Shea and tried to date her but found out that she was married so he quickly dropped that. After a few days, he met Merewina Winston, after saving her from drowning. The next day, he wasn't doing anything so he invited Merewina over to his house to hangout. They then started going steady. After that he got really busy with mastering his athletic skill and moving up in the lifeguard profession, but he then made time and went on a date in which he proposed to her and then got married because he was aging up into an adult in 6 days (I didn't manage time well this generation). Once they were married, he moved into Merewina's house together and had a child in which they named Jesse Hoken. A few days later, after Jesse aged up into a toddler, Merewina gave birth to Allen Hoken.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to simblrs whose sims you adore ✨️

thank you so much for sending this to me!! ✨️💜 i really appreciate it!! and i'm so sorry for letting this sit in my inbox a long time 😭

i may talk about him a lot, but it's never enough, so here are five new facts about the king of my blog aka grant 👑

when grant wants to feel something, he'll watch videos of the curiosity rover on mars singing happy birthday to itself 🎂 it's so incredibly sad but cute to him, so it immediately turns on the waterworks lolol 🥲

objectively, grant is NOT a car guy; he's 110% an airplane guy. however, he owns a car that makes him look like a car guy and gets him approached ALL THE TIME by people who want to talk cars. it's a 1960 ford galaxie and it looks like this, except i think it would be a nice shade of light, almost minty green or maybe blue (no, i haven't decided, and probably won't because there's no cc version of this car for the sims 4, so we'll never see it lol) 💚💙

why is that his car? 🚗 well, it was his grandparents' car, which he bought off them when they wanted to replace it; they have never had a garage or a carport in their entire life, so the car was exposed to the elements for fifty years, and it was, thus, fucked up. they were also tired of fixing it. however, it's a sentimental car because aoife and joseph met working on the same production line at a ford auto factory, and this car was the first one they bought as a couple in their marriage (even though aoife ironically does not know how to drive lmao). they wanted it gone but also didn't, you know, so grant bought it because he also didn't want to see it gone; he'd spent his whole life sandwiching into that backseat with 8 billion of his cousins. oh, aaandddd he bought it even though the necessary repairs were extensive, which he did all by himself with help from his grandparents and uncle (aka people who know shit about cars)

a shorter fun fact: he smokes luckies 🫢

grant has been on TV before! it was very brief, for like five seconds, but he was interviewed by his hometown news station after his high school hockey team won the state championship game one year and he was granted the MVP title. he was very nervous, and his friends ended up nicknaming him "mr. team effort" because his entire interview was him just saying things like, "oh, um, well, it was a team effort, and we worked really hard...together...as a team..."

Through History Challenge Updates 05/02/2023

I played a couple hours of the challenge today and here are some interesting things that happened:

Quentin MacAnna aged up into a teen. Quentin is the son of Williame Hoken who is the younger brother to the sim I'm currently playing, Randolph Hoken.

Michell MacAnna aged up into a child. She is the sister of Quentin MacAnna.

The most interesting thing I find that happened today. Finn Dolan died which gave my sim a negative moodlet. Finn Dolan is the father to my sim's brother's wife's sister's husband. It's crazy how sims who are barely related to each other and don't know each other at all with still grieve for each other.

Anyways, I hope to play this legacy more often now that I'll have more free time this week.

I'm sure that someone somewhere is being ridiculous as shit about terms like "cozy" or "whatever-punk" just out of my vision - and they can stay there, I don't have the spoons for whatever puritan-esque bullshit might be happening out there - but please, please, can we not trend back towards "you're dumb if you would rather your entertainment be your escape from the hellscape?" opinions? Or the idea that things that are happy or fun can't also contain interesting commentary about the world?

I know it's a vain hope, we're destined to swing the pendulum from "sincere and kind" to "ironic detachment" in media over and over again, but still. Sigh.

story by me (craig)

I are literature

In the quiet town of Doodleville, there lived a peculiar doodle named Craig. Craig was no ordinary sketch; he was a cat with a mission. Despite his simple appearance, Craig harbored ambitions far grander than his humble origins suggested.

From a young age, Craig possessed an insatiable curiosity and a keen intellect. While his peers contented themselves with idle doodling, Craig spent his days studying the world around him, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. He learned about history, politics, and the intricacies of human behavior, all from the confines of his paper realm.

As Craig grew older, his ambitions expanded. He yearned for something more than the confines of Doodleville. He dreamed of venturing beyond the borders of his sketchbook and making his mark on the wider world.

One fateful day, Craig's opportunity arrived in the form of a stray pencil left unattended on the edge of his page. With a mixture of determination and excitement, Craig seized the pencil and began to draw. He sketched a doorway leading out of Doodleville, and with a final flourish, he stepped through into the unknown.

The world outside was vast and full of wonders, but it was also fraught with danger. Undeterred, Craig embarked on a quest to carve out his own destiny. Along the way, he encountered a colorful cast of characters, from mischievous doodles to formidable adversaries.

Despite the challenges he faced, Craig never lost sight of his ultimate goal: to leave his mark on the world and reshape it according to his vision. With each obstacle overcome and each victory achieved, Craig grew stronger and more determined than ever before.

In the end, Craig's journey was not just about conquering the world, but about discovering his true self and realizing his full potential. As he stood atop the highest peak, surveying the realm he had conquered, Craig knew that his adventures were only just beginning. For Craig was not just a doodle; he was a legend in the making, destined for greatness beyond the confines of his paper kingdom.

i finished my call down the hawk reread!! now im off to read mister impossible for the first time 🙈

Eddy's silence echoed through the room, Helena rose from the bed and began to walk away, her footsteps echoing against the worn wooden floor. Startled, Eddy hurriedly rose to his feet, nearly toppling over the home remedy tea Helena had given him.

"W-wait a minute," Eddy stammered, his voice tinged with desperation.

Helena turned around, weariness etched upon her face. "I'm just tired, Eddy," she sighed, her voice laced with disappointment. "Ever since you decided to go out and revel, the burden of all the work has fallen squarely on my shoulders."

She continued, her voice laden with weariness and vulnerability. "So much has transpired in these few months, Eddy. It's been a relentless onslaught, and I can hardly bear the weight of it all. We're still grappling with the constant struggle to put food on the table, and the house… it's crumbling around us," Helena confessed, her voice trembling.

She fought to maintain her composure, willing her voice to remain steady. "I can feel my sanity slipping away, Eddy. The weight of it all is suffocating."

Eddy's heart sank as he listened to Helena's words and he extended an arm to touch her shoulder.

Eddy pulled Helena into his embrace, his strong arms enveloping her, providing a sense of security in the midst of their struggles. He could feel her tension, the weight of their hardships weighing heavily on her shoulders. Gently, he cradled the back of her head in his hand, his touch filled with tenderness and reassurance.

Eddy had been through this before and knew how to handle it but Helena didn't. He didn't realize how everything that happened had affected her.

"It's gonna be alright, my dear," he murmured softly. "I reckon life out here ain't easy, but we ain't quitters. We'll find a way to make it work. "

Helena smiled warmly, finding solace in Eddy's strong embrace.

"I promise, Helena," he vowed earnestly. "I'll never put you through that worry again. You mean more to me than anything in this world."

His declaration hung in the air and In that instant, Helena knew that she held a special place in Eddy's heart.

I used to always wonder what my special interests were and looking for a specific definition, but tbh it's my autism my rules and if you can't mention anything history related without me going on an absolute tangent then I think it's safe to say that's a special interest no???
