For some reason, Melissa strikes me as one of those apocalypse preppers, who develop all the necessary skills beforehand and thrive after the apocalypse actually strikes 😅Seeing the footage of the other settlement was so cool, absolutely adore these little cutscenes in between the gameplay. Ivy is so badass 💪😒 Ahah, at 55:24 I said "is that a wolf" out loud just a moment before you, so weird 😂
Omg wow you’re going to have all of them living together??? That’s going to be intense! Can’t wait to see it 😂 I LOVED the machinima scene in this! It was so well made ❤ Everybody’s characters really came alive. I died laughing at the fact that your Amin does everything he can think of to avoid working too 😂that’s amazing! Also omg Kennedy and Benjamin’s bromance was so cute ❤ They’re close friends in my game too. The hunting cabin was a work of art! You built it so beautifully that I was kinda sad to see them leave. I hope we get to come back again at a later time. Thank you for sharing another beautiful episode 🥰
Yes, intense is probably exactly the right word. 😂 Keeping them from flirting with each other will be a lot harder, I expect I can't keep my eye on all of them at all times, so we'll see how that goes! 😄 And I will definitely need my notes for planning their day and keeping them all on track with skilling and getting ready for future jobs and achievements and stuff. It's nice to finally have them all together though, that's the picture I imagined when the hood started. Glad you liked the machinima scene! ❤️ I felt it was a bit sloppy and there is so much to learn! But I liked how the scenes I had in my head somewhat came to life. I see so many things that can be improved, but I do like how it came out. And I just love Amin and Ivy so much. For very different reasons. 😄 And that whole Amin thing: I decided to play the lot with them living there for one day, to get a feel of how I wanted to present the characters. The scene between Ivy and Abhijeet had been in my mind for a while, but the rest wasn't very clear. And seriously, all Amin did that day was reject everything I told him to do, he just kept walking to wherever Ivy was and take naps and he wasn't even tired half of the time! 😂 I definitely remembered your video about him not preparing the meals and cleaning up in the school cafeteria and your gag reel about it and I laughed so hard too when I noticed he was doing the exact same thing in my game. Just had to put that napping in the video somehow. 😂😂 Oh and Kennedy and Benjamin ... so cute right? 😄 He looked so happy playing around with Benjamin too. So unlike him, he's really mostly grumpy and when I don't keep him occupied at all times, he just attacks everyone. (I found that out during a few test runs I did, where I don't control the sims, except for what I'm trying to test. That and Brandi and John can't keep their hands to themselves. 😄) Kennedy's really starting to become that villain that I can't help but love. 😄 I guess there's something that draws Benjamin and Kennedy together. And I checked, it's not really their interests, unless I'm mistaken. I guess they do have similar characters. But they did get along so naturally, it was really cool to see. I even compared it to that first day with Melissa, he spent 8 hours standing next to her fishing, and their relationship score was like 60 or something. He spent 2 hours with Benjamin (same speed) and they were at a 100! 😄🤓 I was a bit sad to leave the cabin too, it became so much more than initially intended, but once I started building, I just got carried away. With the rocks and the water and then it seemed only logical that someone would live there and not only visit... but yeah, we did have to leave it behind after this episode. I think there might be some survivors who might want to live a bit farther away from the others in the future though, now that I think of it... 😉
I love this challenge, and the builds are so cool! I was wondering if you would be willing to share your challenge rules? I would love to give this challenge a go, but taking lil notes here and there across your videos isn't cutting it haha.
Glad you like it! 😊 I am actually working on creating a Tumblr and sharing details about the challenge and rules there. I'm hoping it will be up in a few weeks.
The detail you put into this playthrough is intense. I don't know how you do it, lol. Also, I stole your idea of using the weighted Aspiration Calculator to give traits to premade sims. The 3t2 trait mod is too much for me, the Calculator is more of my speed.
Haha thank you! ❤️ I have my obsessive phases. 😉 But honestly, I love this game so much and it's very relaxing to me to work out details to stuff like this. But I wouldn't have gone nearly as far if it was just for me. It's really the engagement of people watching who push me to make it as realistic and immersive as I can. 🥰 I love that you took inspiration from the video to use in your game! I deserve no credit for the calculator though, it's all Sophie! 😁 She did an amazing job putting that thing together, it is so weirdly accurate. Really amazing tool to use.
Aw, me too! 😊 I've tried to continue several times now, but I vastly underestimated the amount of work that was coming my way when I said I had to "do some stuff first". I will be back though! And so will this series! 😊
Love this series, I always look forward to watching new episodes! I was wondering where you got the cc bathtub that stays full? I'm playing a similar challenge, and having Sims share bathwater would be so much easier haha
Aw, thank you, so glad you're enjoying the series! 🥰 The bathtub is actually not available for download I think. The way it works is really cool though. You need water buckets in your inventory and then fill the bathtub for 3 uses, after which you empty it and have to refill again. I love the realism about it. Tea Addict (here on youtube) was kind enough to let me use it in this series, but I believe she still considers it a work in progress and it is not released yet.

Oh, I can totally see that yes, Melissa being a prepper! 😂😍 I can't unsee that now that you've mentioned it. 😄
The whole world you built is truly amazing. you are an amazing builder as well as a wonderful story teller ❤
Aw thank you! ❤️ That is such a sweet and kind comment. I loved building this world and so happy to hear you are enjoying it. 🥰
Fishing bounds buddies for life 😁🎣
Haha Right?! 😄 Love that. 🥰
