2. Welcome back to the Ding Dong Adult Start Apocalypse!
I’m going to level with you. I’ve finished playing this. In fact, I finished playing this back in August
then promptly forgot about it. It’s now October. I have no idea what l did so half to this is going to
reconstructed from chat logs that I have with RoseFyre. The rest, well, I’m gonna wing it. When we
left, three of the four college careers had been lifted with natural science remaining.
3. We have one child or Long and Holly who is still a teen. The long forgotten Dick. You know that just
sounds wrong. Also in the house are Anita, the heiress; Andrew, the sperm donor; Wanda, the heiress
to be; Peter, the Vicund Curious Spawn, and Sookie & Tookie, the heiress spares.
Got all that? Good, I’m not repeating it.
4. I normally leave visitors to thaw out naturally, but Holly was in the way. Seriously, bad place to
freeze.
5. If you recall, Sperm Donor Andrew (Who will now be called SDA for the remainder of this Apoc),
donated some sperm to Anita and, well, predictable results are predictable.
6. And in case you didn’t remember, this is an apocalypse it is all about the lifts.
7. And now Natural Science is lifted.
Honestly, Natural Science has very little use/teeth unless you either do it first with a college start
(snapdragon) or you’ve got some other lifts namely Culinary. It’s a strong first/second lift with a
prepared college start. Otherwise, pointless and toothless – unless you are going to do what I am
going to do… But we will get there.
12. Marion and Anita are really cute together. Other than that, this slide has no point.
13. Taking after his Aunt Young, Dick missed work. Although I think it was because I had to do a bunch of
force errors because Sookie became unable to be interacted with. I could do things with her, but she
was borked. Even so, he missed work, so I had him quit and take Oceanography instead. Which
worked out a lot better. Give me Elixir dammit! That way I can reverse age teens.
15. Then Dick is off to work in very winter inappropriate attire.
16. Okay, time to talk about Architecture. Did you know that even once Natural science is lifted you have
to have the house supported by four columns until it is lifted? Here is the actual rule text “Houses must
be supported by at least four stilts or foundation materials.” Last I checked, walls didn’t count as
foundation materials or stilts. It’s a change that should be made so that building on the ground should
be allowed once you actually can place walls on the ground. So just remember, even if Natural Science
is lifted but architecture isn’t, you have to have the 4 columns.
17. Empty wombs are not a good thing in a mid to late stage apocalypse so Vicund does what he can to fix
that.
18. It’s now time for Wanda spam.
I don’t know why, but I really, really like her.
19. She grew boobs – which Dick seems to approve of even though it is a lot squicky.
21. Changed clothes and made herself up. Still so pretty!
She’s Romance/Family with the LTW of having six Grand Children. Not happening.
Also from this point forward I am not going to bother with stats or aspirations. I can barely remember
the order of lifts, don’t ask me to remember this.
22. All of that taken care of, it was time to get working on getting body so that she can get a job.
23. “Are you sure you want me to go?”
“Yes, SDA I may like your donations, but I don’t want you in my daughter’s bed while she’s still
underage. Mother’s prerogative.”
“But I’m her designated… um…”
25. The twins aged up to child. And for those of you keeping track, this is the only multiple birth I’ve had
in this challenge. Considering I am playing with Random Triplets and Quads and my game, this is
unusual. Seriously it’s unusual.
26. Sookie and Tookie aren’t totally identical, I think Sookie’s got the bigger mouth, while Tookie’s got the
darker skin. I’ve had more identical twins in John and J’onn from the Bass-Ackwards apoc. But these
two aren’t too far off.
27. Ima also grew up. And no one really cares about stats – needless to say she’s a mutant. All of my
sims in the house are mutants.
28. Since I do have it, and Wanda wants something that I can’t give her. She is wishing for peace. I have
a lamp, I will use it.
29. With body maxed it is time for Wanda to find a job. Since we’re getting later in the Apocalypse, things
are starting to seriously repeat. But I did find her a job in Adventurer, which is honestly one of my
favorite lifts ever.
30. Wanda also caused my first fire of the Apocalypse. Oops?
She put it out easily.
35. And I start gardening. Now, I can’t stock the food or eat it but that is not my goal. At least not
immediately.
36. For those of you who have Pescado’s macrotastics, you know you can skill gardening by watering
obsessively. Well, I did that sans macrotastics – which is why I had 4 plants. I have a plan. Let’s
see if you can figure it out before the reveal.
37. Dick aged up and I loved the shirt so he can keep it. Oceanography and Elixir is within my grasp.
38. So is another baby!
Meet Vicund’s other son, Donkey!
60. While her twin changed clothes, I think this is Tookie found a job in Culinary. Which is not the career
I was hoping for but better than Criminal or Law Enforcement.
61. Okay I think I remember now – Sookie is the larger lipped twin in the Purple and Tookie is the
narrower lipped twin in the red. I think.
62. And it is time for Anita final child, meet Honey Dong.
69. Time to de-age.
Okay, the trick to this is to wait until the teen is in the low green or lower aspiration. Any higher and
you will likely gain life which is not what we want. If you can, time it so that you have a day to regain
aspiration, but that isn’t always possible.
73. This time, I was able to delay until she got a lot of aspiration points – this is her I think getting logic
maxed or level 9. (BTW did you know the skill bar doesn’t disappear right away when you max? It
actually flips over like an hour glass.)
75. Peter started his trek up to City Planner. Seriously level 6 and still the junker.
76. “I can’t believe I randomized gay and find Bella Goth attractive. I must be super desperate.”
“Desperate? Why that’s my middle name? Wanna woohoo?”
87. While Sookie uses a passing walkby to up her aspirations. That is why Dating is so powerful, the
boosts are nice, but it’s the aspiration that I love.
88. Ever have that horrible feeling when you realize that you missed an instalift? Yeah, I’ve got it.
90. And Architecture is lifted, Hallelujah. Now I can actually build things and add another level to the
tower, mostly for sleeping and skilling purposes.
99. Time to say goodbye to Tookie. We hardly knew you.
100. Her twin still had a ways to go. But she’s getting there.
101. Wanda randomized bi so I let her pursue romance braids here. Aspiration points are good. It keeps
her of thinking about her younger siblings that are now older than her.
107. “Look, I only want to do this once. I’m not that fond of you since you’re my sister’s father and all.”
“But…”
“Now, less talking and more woohooing.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
109. I’ll admit, I shouldn’t have moved Marion back in, but trust me I got nothing out of it other than the
ability to control her since I did it through the Simblender so no move in funds. And she won’t be
here long.
111. And then the two of them moved out. There was a secondary reason to get Anita out of the house.
She’s got a college degree and I am coming down to the end. It hurt the family because the friend
count dropped from 32 to 8, but I can deal with that.
Besides I have something else on my mind.
112. I wonder what that could be.
So, can you guess what my plan is for the rest of the Apocalypse?
Will I actually finish this thing? How much more can I ramble about? Who knows.
But until that time, Happy Simming!
