Generation 3:
Hold My Beer! 3.0
Hold My Beer! 3.1
Hold My Beer! 3.2

This will be all done once I know who the heir is and I can play them to adulthood!  All the kids are teens now, and what follows is 4 or 5 Sim days worth of me alternating between rolling my eyes and having an anxiety attack.





( PREPARE TO CRINGE... )

I will leave the poll open until Monday night.  I know that's not long, but I need to get this thing wrapped up!

I was able to do something this week that I haven't done in many years... I played a marathon 15 hour session!  This is going to be a fast bunch of stuff to keep up with, so pay attention!




The last time we were here it was time for the second heir poll.  The six candidates ranged from a teen who is less than a day away from turning adult, to a baby who had only been a toddler for less than a day, and all ages in between. The results weren't even close in the end!

( AND THE WINNER IS... )
--------------------------------------------

I hadn't realized how long it's been since I last played this!  :O  SIX MONTHS.  This morning I was feeling the urge to play SOMETHING even if my legacy is kinda on hold until I get the time to make more clothes and hair, and I just can't stage any scenes until everyone has their own hair and outfit.  (Though you'll likely see some behind the scenes picspam really soon.)  I opened the TPC storytelling folder to kinda take stock of what's there before I opened the game and realized there are about a hundred photos from the last time I played it!  So UPDATE TIME.  :D



If you need a refresher, click here to read the first update from generation two where things were just getting started.  The founder and his wife passed away, while their son Bodean and his wife Nikki were just starting to have kids of their own.  The first was a son named Rocky, followed by a(n illegitimate) daughter named Marigold, who was just an infant at the end of the update.

( THEN I OPENED THE GAME... )

[Poll #1857253]

A while back in a late night AIM chat with some of my simming buddies, I stated that "I am totally going to do a trailer park legacy" and then Rose said "DO IT!"  The next several minutes of chat were spent coming up with the most ridiculous set of rules we could think of for a legacy based entirely on trailer-living.  I lost that chat log to the Great Reformat of 2012 but I remembered most of what we had thought up and have finally implemented that idea into an actual real challenge!

*Please keep in mind -before any of you get offended in any way- that I live in rural Alabama.  Everyone I know lives in rural Alabama, and most of my family lives in rural Alabama (though some have ventured as far as rural Tennessee and rural Georgia).  I am very familiar with the type of people the rest of the world calls "rednecks" and everything about the lifestyle.  We even use the label in a self-joking way (see Jeff Foxworthy) and most people I know are not offended by this at all.  (Though the term "stupid redneck" is not okay and you'll get your tires slashed for that one.)

I've been tentatively calling this the Trailer Park Challenge until I come with a better name.  Suggestions welcome!
