Hello and welcome to my attempt at the Monster Mash challenge. I'm going to preface this by noting I have not played Sims 2 for a very long time, and this is the first time I'm playing Sims 2 on a Windows 10 computer. I apologize for the poor quality photos, and the fact that I gave up on editing only a few pictures in. I also played most of this challenge a couple of months ago, so while I wrote down my points and such, I'm not sure about the captions for some of the pictures or why there are time gaps. That said, this was a fun challenge, so let's jump in!
This is our founder Allen Pine a Knowledge/Family sim. Allen is a Virgo with the personality of 9/2/6/3/5. His LTW is to become a Space Pirate.
Allen gets started on planting a garden right away because I plan on having the family eat only their own produce for the extra points.
Allen starts treasure hunting too in order to expand the house. He managed to find the map to the secret lot in the Three Lakes, so this will come in handy in the future for finding our bigfoot.
During the welcome wagon, Allen met Michelle. He invites her over fairly often and plans on starting a family with her. I can't remember Michelle's last name.
Michelle moves in and gives us a whopping $1,000. *sigh* I was hoping for more. She's a fortune sim, and a Capricorn with the personality 7/4/1/8/5. Her LTW is to become a Business Tycoon. She and Allen only have one bolt.
Looks like we're getting started on that family right away!
Allen then decides to propose and quickly elope with Michelle.
Pretty soon it's time to meet the first baby of the generation.
Michelle gave birth to an invisible little girl named Zia. I guess my defaults are messed up, which I'll have to fix.
Once she aged into a toddler, Zia seems to look a lot like Allen. She is a Pisces with the personality of 9/2/6/3/5.
Zia is a very stinky toddler.
Michelle is soon expecting again.
Zia grows up into a cute kid!
Since we finally have enough money, Allen takes a trip to Three Lakes to secure a bigfoot for our family.
While he's there, he meets Benjamin Bigfoot.
It takes some work, but Allen convinces Benjamin to move in. Benjamin has the Popularity aspiration. He's a Libra with the personality of 2/8/2/6/7. His LTW is to become the Law.
Time for more babies!
Michelle gives birth to triplets: Lyle, Carrington, and Tilly.
Lyle looks a lot like Allen as well. His personality is 9/2/6/3/4, and he's a Virgo. He's one nice point away from being a clone of Zia.
A bad picture, but Carrington is a slightly better mix of his parents. He's a Scorpio with the personality of 7/4/10/7/5.
Last is Tilly, who is the only child that looks anything like Michelle. Tilly is a Taurus with the personality of 9/4/9/10/3.
It's nice having Benjamin around with all his badges to tend to the garden. I would send him to work, but he also serves as a babysitter when Michelle and Allen are at their jobs.
The pack leader finally stops by for a visit. Michelle is able to get their relationship up a decent amount, but he didn't bite her. Hopefully he stops back.
Birthday time for the triplets!
I do love Michelle and Allen's kids, but I have a feeling they'll end up being pretty ignored once Allen finally has the Black Sheep.
So Allen got abducted on the dance sphere, but it did not lead to a baby. I later learned, that this will only happen if it's his second abduction. I'd basically been wasting my time up until this point waiting for him to get abducted on the dance sphere. To the telescope it is!
Zia becomes a teen! She's a Fortune/Family sim with the LTW of owning 5 Top Level Businesses.
I decided to have Benjamin work on the Servo for this family since he actually has the gold robotics badge.
After several days of working, Benjamin finishes the servo. I had Zia activate her since she had the best personality out of those available. Her name is Serenity. She's a Fortune sim who also wants to top the business career. Her personality is the same as Zia's 7/2/10/3/6.
Finally! Now the challenge can really get started.
Allen's abduction lead to an alien pregnancy. Success!
Zia gets a job in the Music career. With four kids and more on the way, this family is in desperate need of money. Michelle works in Business, Allen in Adventure, and Serenity in Culinary, but we can never have enough money.
I'm so excited!
Allen gives birth to twins because of course he does. First up is Torin.
Next is Tate. Now the family is complete!
Zia and Tilly are really close being the only two girl kids in the house.
First up Tilly! She's a Romance/Grilled Cheese sim who wants to woohoo 20 sims.
Next is Carrington. He's a Family/Grilled Cheese sim who wants to eat 200 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
Finally, Lyle. Lyle is a Family/Pleasure sim who wants to be a Captain Hero.
The twins also have their birthday. Torin is a Virgo with the personality of 9/0/10/0/6.
Tate is a Scorpio with a personality of 9/7/10/0/0.
I apparently didn't take any pictures of the twins toddlerhood? I don't know the house is chaotic with so many sims.
Since everyone is of school age, Allen (who grew up during the visit) invited the headmaster over. All the kids got into private school.
Tate and Torin are pretty popular. They're always bringing other kids home from school.
Torin needs to spend a little less time socializing because I got a notification that he was about to fail out of school.
The twins have matching outerwear, which I find super cute.
Zia, Tilly, Lyle, and Carrington move off to college to free up some space in the house.
Allen tops his career! I wish he could have accomplished his LTW before elderhood, but oh well. Michelle has also topped her career, but I don't have a picture of her.
Since Tate and Torin are almost teens, Michelle decides to start getting to know the supernaturals out there.
I really wanted her to become a vampire okay. This will be the one and only time she cheats on Allen.
She's actually turning Michelle, but routing is weird.
After being turned, Michelle also turns Allen.
Tate and Torin grew up, but I don't have pictures. I decided Tate would be my Black Sheep, and Torin is his backup. Here's alien Tate in his alien themed room.
Tate is a Pleasure/Popularity sim who wants to max the Gamer career.
Torin is a Popularity/Pleasure sim who wants to have 20 Best Friends.
The leader of the pack finally showed up again!
Aaand he left like five minutes later, so no werewolves tonight.
He did manage to destroy Tate's homework somehow in the brief time he was here.
I also have all the family portraits done. Tate's is downstairs as shown previously. Allen, Michelle, Serenity.
Benjamin, Zia, Tilly, Carrington, and Lyle's pictures.
And finally Torin!
After a brief intermission with the spares in college, I had Michelle turn Tate into a vampire. He already has the angsting down.
Vampire picture in his vampire themed room.
The leader of the pack came back, and Michelle is also a werewolf on top of being a vampire.
Just three vampire sims reading. I have to keep a seriously close eye on them, otherwise they wander outside and try and fry themselves to death.
Torin gets abducted, so that means an extra scholarship for him!
There's a lot going on in this picture. Michelle got electrocuted from trying to repair Serenity, so she's burnt. Serenity is broken. Allen and Benjamin hate the noise from the UFO. Tate splats on the ground as he returns home. The pack leader shows up again (after literal weeks of between his fist and second visit, he's here all the time), and Tate rushes to check on his twin.
Tate and Torin head to college, and Tate has maxed all skills!
I celebrated too soon because while I was controlling his siblings Tate managed to fry himself. I decided to move out Zia, Lyle, Carrington, and Tilly into another lot to play them through college, and just focus on Torin and Tate here. Hopefully I can resurrect him, but good thing I have Torin as my backup!
Torin goes through the motions of befriending secret society members.
And he cheers as this dormie shows up to take him to their super secret society house.
Torin actually has enough money to get a zombiefied Tate back. In hindsight, I should have taken the phone to decorate Tate's zombie room.
And here's Zombie Tate! This wasn't my plan on how to zombify him, but I'll take it.
So I couldn't remember how to get off the secret society lot, but I eventually googled it, and the twins head back.
A brief detour to the main house, and a freshly graduated Zia is turned into a werewolf.
Going Downtown again, Michelle is able to meet the good and bad witch.
She invites the bad witch over to start the process of turning the now graduated triplets into witches. Tilly looks a little terrified.
Tilly the bad witch!
I see her as more neutral, so I had her study that alignment.
Lyle becomes a good witch.
Carrington now takes the spot as the bad witch.
Benjamin has his birthday, and after he finished growing up, he has a human face. It's kind of terrifying.
Just a bunch of supernaturals, hanging out!
Back to the twins in college!
Torin was quite a bit ahead of Tate, due to Tate being dead and all, so I only had to play him through a year and half before graduation. Tate is trying to earn his skills back.
I love how sims get dressed up win they're in the zone for the music and dance hobby.
Really, not much happened at all during college for the twins or the rest of the kids, which is why I don't have many pictures of it.
Tate has re-maxed his skills, just in time before graduation too!
Time for Tate to graduate and come home!
Zombie picture in his zombie room. I really didn't know how to decorate, so I had it look kind of apocalypse looking?
Tate is turned into a werewolf by Michelle, and he is sad about his weird looking hair.
Werewolf picture in his woodsy, werewolf room.
Lyle turns Tate into a good witch.
Tate's witch portrait in his good witch room.
Get back inside! No burning or dying before the end of the challenge.
We're in the home stretch now. After leaving the garden unattended for a while, it finally needs sprayed.
Tate is now a plantsim as well, with new eyes!
