TS4 Clone/Mooch Challenge- Mission Complete

Chapter 15

WEEK 8

 We start week 8 off with Cameron aging up the twins.  Here's Willow she's an Artistic Prodigy and creative.

And here's William he's a Rambunctious Scamp and active.

Switch back to Trinity and she comes to see her kids and husband.

A little whoohoo and then it's back to making simoleans so they can have their own home.

• On Tuesday at 2am Trinity hit the $300,000 mark!
• On Thursday at 6am she hit the $350,000 mark.  I'm not sure how much to save up.

 Oh my gosh Cameron catches fire!  No sprinklers outside, I freak out!

Luckily I got Trinity to extinguish the flames, whew.

• After the fire Trinity leaves and goes next door because everything is broken in the house.  It appears that the elderly mother next door died.  I hadn't realized that much time had gone by.

 Yes, that's right, another fire.  This time the sprinklers save her before Trinity can.  Now Trinity is tense for 24 hours.

• I decide to look at houses marked #mansionbaron and find one for 360,000... Trinity has a little over 380,000!

 Mission complete.  Trinity completed the challenge.  Now to add up her score...

18 pts for 9 friends

100pts in aspirations completed

54 pts skills gained

-52 points in days taken to complete the challenge

Total score: 120 points!

The family moves in!  Keira moved in too but she somehow got into the house before I could take a pic.

Here's Keira telling a joke to her step-mom.

• Trinity spends the last night of week 8 painting out of habit.

WEEK 9

  I got them a new house (legacy family home by ruthless_kk) and got back $133,000!

• Trinity joins the painter career and Cameron quits his career to work on his aspiration.

 William plays on the jungle gym while playful for his aspiration.

Trinity paints as her daily work task and Cameron writes books for his aspiration.

• On the same morning Trinity and Cameron both rolled try for baby.  I say hell no.  LOL  Just thought it was funny it was the same morning.
• I decide now that the challenge is over to change to normal lifespan.  I'm mostly still playing because I want to save the kids to my gallery when they become young adults.

Keira's becoming a teen!

Just like a teen, checking her phone.  She's got the bestselling author aspiration and is creative like her Dad.

TS4 Clone/Mooch Challenge- Bending the Rules

Chapter 12

WEEK 6

 Trinity starts her week off at the park eloping with Cameron!

Even though they can't live together  I thought there's no reason they can't get married.

• Trinity goes back to Cameron's house and starts the write book and paint cycle.
• She gets level 10 painting skill.
• She completes the Bestselling Author aspiration!

 I was thinking about the no baby rule.  It's because the baby wouldn't have a house to live in.  But, I decided to bend that rule a bit.  Trinity and Cameron can have a baby and it can live with Cameron until the house is ready.

I cheated again and replaced Cameron's house so there'll be plenty of room.  This is the house the Jones family lives in in my rotational story.  It's called Latius by sturmankrief.

• I wanted Trinity to spend her pregnancy with the ghosts but they don't have an easel and I'm trying to complete the painting aspiration.  So she goes next door to Cameron instead.
• Trinity makes friends with the grandmother.

 Trinity's in her 3rd trimester still painting away in her pjs.

• She completes the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration!
• She switches to the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration.
• She gets the hardly hungry and never weary traits.

Twins!  A girl, Willow and a boy, William.

The babies on the empty lot before I transfer them to Cameron's.

I almost cried transfering the babies but seeing both the parents run to them as soon as Trinity got in the house was great.

WEEK 7

•  After several days at Cameron's basically doing nothing but taking care of the babies Trinity leaves.  It was hard but she needs to make the simoleans to get a house so she can be with her husband and kids!
• She spends the day at the museum, eats a hotdog at the picnic tables and sees Cameron there and then goes to the old Pancake house where mother and son townies live.

 For some reason the mother wasn't there the whole time that Trinity was there so Cornelius followed Trinity around.  Probly starved for social.

• Trinity finishes off the week at Cornelius's house.  She's now getting $4,000 a day in book royalties and has saved up $276,006!

TS4 Clone/Mooch Challenge- Makin' Bank

Chapter 9

WEEK 4

 Trinity starts her week off playing for tips.  She didn't do very well, I'm starting to think it's not worth it.

That night Trinity crashes with the ghosts.

• Trinity got the Creative Visionary and Savant traits.
• Trinity reaches writing level 10.

 After 4 1/2 days with the ghosts Trinity leaves because everything is broken and she has 8 books to publish.

Look who shows up while she's publishing books!  She gives him a suave kiss and they go back to his house.

Later that night Trinity brings Cameron out to the gazebo to propose.

• Trinity spent the rest of the week writing books and painting at Cameron's house.  Until, like the ghosts house, everything was broken.

END WEEK 4

• Next she went to the house next door, where the little girl was missing last time she went there.  I want to see if she's there this time.

  She's there!  The little girl is alive!  Hehe.

The little girl, Terri, and her grandmother, Ariel chat with Trinity while she paints.

• Once again a bunch of stuff gets broken after like 3-4 days and Trinity leaves.  She goes to the museum to view art and paint first.

 While she's at the museum Cameron's daughters show up and Trinity makes friends with both of them.  Then later when she's about to leave Cameron walks by.  Mabye it's the tux but she gets the whim "Get married to Cameron".  Oh my, I see a pattern with these Trinity clones!  I pinned it for later anyway. :)

• That night she goes to the old Pancakes house.  It has a mother and son townie living there.  She finishes out the week there painting and writing books.
• She's now making ~3,600 a day in book royalties and has $80,225 saved.
• Sorry there's not more pictures, not much exciting happened.

END WEEK 5

Chapter 10

TS4 Clone/Mooch Challenge- House Hopping

Chapter 6

Let me just start out by saying house hopping is hard!  Especially when you don't know what's in any of the houses.  I went to several, finding nothing of use and leaving.  Then I remembered someone on the forums saying that the Spencer-Kim-Lewis house was a good one.  Well darned if it wasn't empty.  So I found a girl on the gallery, Shimigami by zombiepanda26, gave her a mother and daughter and hopped in.

Trinity gets started right away with book writing.

On the third day she switches to painting because book writing is tedious and this family is boring.  Well, other than the fact that the little girl seems to have disappeared.  I haven't seen her since the first day!

The next day she practices piano.  One of these days when her skill is high enough I'll have her play for tips.

The little girl is still missing days later and all the other 2 do is sleep.  There's tons of beds in the house and they sleep in this one together.

Finally she decides to leave the boring house, mabye the little girl will come back.  So she goes to the museum but gets hungry and who happens to be sitting next to the only food?  Cameron from the Aliens house!  They chat and become friends.

• She crashes that night at Garden Essence.  The sims are Roomies by SimsBeCrazy.  She spent the night, wrote one book and left for the museum to paint again.
• She goes to Yuma Heights that night which has a townie family living in it.  It has a piano, 2 computers and tons of beds so we're good.

END WEEK 2

  Trinity goes back to the Aliens household.  Out of habit of following her whims from the whim challenge she uses a bold pickup line on Cameron.  Instantly he's very flirty.

He looks so shocked that she kissed him.  After that Sandra, the one sister, came in so Trinity went out and painted flirty paintings the rest of the day.

• She gets the whim to have Cameron as her boyfriend.  But he's supposedly engaged to Elaina so I don't know what to do.

 The next day she's writing a book and Cameron is flirting with her.

Between writing books Trinity makes friends with one of Cameron's daughters.  The other one is invisible.  Literally, Trinity has talked to her and it's like she's talking to air.  I need to switch over to that family and fix her somehow.

Eileen, an alien herself, gets abducted by aliens twice!

• I switch over to the family and boom the girl is visible.  Dunno what was wrong.  So while I'm there I check Cameron's relationships.  Eileen is supposed to be his fiance.  They have 2 kids together but the relationship status is impartial and barely a sliver of green!

 After finding out she's not a man-stealer Trinity asks Cameron to be her boyfriend and they whoohoo to celebrate!

A couple days later Eileen catches fire.  The sprinklers saved her.

END WEEK 3

• Trinity has 26,379 saved so far and is making approximately 1,000 a day on book royalties.

Chapter 7

TS4 Clone/Mooch Challenge- Well Hello Baby

Welcome to the third rendering of Trinity!  She's doing the Mooch Off Your Neighbor Challenge.  But before I could start the game I hit a huge snag.  When I tried to click Trinity to go to her it took me back to the choose your neighborhoods screen.  I tried deleting the file and starting over, no go still can't access Trinity.  I tried an old save that I don't play, can't access that sim.  I freaked out!  I found a thread on the forums (can't seem to find it again to link it) that had some stuff to try.  Tried it all with no results.  Then I found this post on the bug forums by Crinrict and taking out the autosave file from my saves worked.  Whew!

Sooo the Mooch of Your Neighbor Challenge is different than any other challenge I've ever done.  You live with your neighbors, use their stuff, eat their food, ect while you try to save up for your own mansion.  The challenge ends when you complete the mansion baron aspiration.  Normally you would be living with the EA pre-mades but I asked the challenge creator if I could replace them with gallery sims and they said yes.  So you'll see some interesting sims along the way.

• Trinity's first stop is Oakenstead.  This household is called Aliens!!! created by  icecreamontoast.  They are sisters who are aliens and the human finance of one of the sisters who was abducted by aliens.  The engaged sister and the fiance are pregnant.

 She starts off using their computer.  I was going to work on the computer whiz aspiration that she started with but for some reason it wasn't counting the hours that she played.  She played half the day before I realized this.

Here's the family she's staying with.

After realizing that the gaming isn't counting I switch her to the painter aspiration and have her paint instead.

• So the woman goes into labor the next day.  I have Trinity play piano because I want to see the birth.  She keeps dropping bassinets all over the place.  After half the day and like 8 bassinets I switch over to that family and have her have baby.  I got to name her Elissa Monroe.
• The next day the husband goes into labor, same thing.  After he dropped the 2nd bassinet I switched over and he had another girl Kiera Caliente.

 Here's Trinity with the first baby when I switched back she was holding her, how cute!

Here's the father, who Trinity is thinking of stealing from the alien fiance, with both babies.

• The babies almost got taken away!  Everyone was sleeping and a thing popped up saying they were very hungry.  I had Trinity run down and feed them.  I decided it's best if she's not in the house again until they age up.  Also afraid she might steal Cameron from his fiance!  She goes and practices piano at the nightclub, then she went to the museum.

 Trinity paints at the museum until she's hungry and tired.  Now it's time to find another household to mooch off of.

The next house is Affalusa Mansion owned by 2 ghosts.  They're in the gallery under ghost by Ktee73.

They have no piano or easel so she starts writing books.

Gabriella, the ghost, is her first friend.  She talks to Trinity while she writes.

Then she makes friends with Aniken.  I think they like having her there.

Trinity goes home to her empty lot after the week is over to publish her 7 books and save on the lot.  She had an eventful week!
