1. Romancing the Apocalypse Epilogue – Keeping Up with the Jones's
Welcome back to the finale of Romancing the Apocalypse!
It has been a long time coming. Too long. As in four lonnnng years since my last Romancing update and playing this hood. The sad
thing is, now that I’m fully engrossed in my Build a City Challenge, I have not been able to find the motivation or will to play this hood
that I put my heart and soul into from 2007-2011 any further, and I simply do not foresee it ever happening.
Instead, I will recap where everyone left off and show you how far I did get with them, some general picspam, and of course the
official completion of the challenge.
Perhaps some of these Sims will migrate to Mesa Vista like the Outsides have. Btw, I’m open to any requests in that regard.
Note: I installed and played this Apocalypse through the Bon Voyage expansion only, so none of the new Borg rules apply.
6. That bird was determined to stick to her hand like glue!
7. Speaking of glitches, I had blamed the lamp impaling glitch of little Lassie here to the snake Ratna Miguel, who had done himself in with
a giant pair of scissors after lifting Culinary. Apparently Lassie shared the sentiment.
8. Lassie (left) and Laddie (right) grew up, but did Lassie grow out of her glitch, you may be asking?
15. Still, Lassie and her glitch will always be remembered at the main house…
16. Jenny and Craig had a lovely wedding at their new home, shown here with Angela (Tha’ Simple Life). It’s nice revisiting some of these
old simselves.
21. Rhea, wanted
“STILL WANTS!”
to own 5 Top-Level Businesses, bought one of the prebuilt H&M stores for her fourth business.
“Do you feel my pain, Juno? Just two businesses left and she’s had tons of practice now, how lame is that?!”
“Hey, I only have seven of fifty Dream Dates with Lucy left to get.”
“See?! Lame!”
“Come on, Lorin, pretty please?”
Ugh! Sorry, guys, still can’t be bothered…
22. Yep, Juno, sorry, a lot of us have left the building. LucyPepper (The Obsession Legacy – alphabet legacy finished!, Their Continuing
Mission apocalypse)
*Sigh*
31. Anyway, the store got up to Rank 5, so technically only 1.5 businesses to go.
“EVEN MORE LAME!”
I know, I know…
32. And proof of the many many Dream Dates Juno had with Lucy.
“Forty-three. Pretty please?”
Sorry
33. I had hopes that Kai and Esmeiolanthe (Ruth’s unOWBC,All Ready In Progress, etc.) would make a good match, but despite two bolts,
there wasn’t much of a spark between them. Sorry, Esme, I tried!
34. So for now, Kai would have to be happy with becoming a Mediate Magnate. That’s it, the Apocalypse is officially over!
“Yay.”
Kai’s expression pretty much exemplifies how I feel about the lackluster way I ended it here, but I’m also confident nobody cares about
that nearly as much as me. To be honest, I’m more than satisfied with how I ended the actual story story in the last update. For me,
that’s when I felt I really finished it. Now, for the record and the medal, it’s officially finished.
To all of you who took the time to read and comment on this Apocalypse over the years, a heartfelt thank you! It was at times
consuming and exhausting, but a true joy and a wonderful learning experience.
I’m actually on the third generation of a full Borg Apocalypse that I may document in a very brief way some day.
Happy Simming, and in the meantime if you’re so inclined, I’ll see you over in Mesa Vista!
