Update on Point Forgotten

Hi!!! Welcome back!! It's been a while since I last updated. My approximate running total for a score is 277. This is not including Generational House bonuses or Money points. I'm not planning on worry bout that until the Challenge is over. I have this spiffy little excel spreadsheet that I got off of The Yahoo Prosperity Group that I use to keep track of all the crazy things you can get points for.

So a quick run down by Lot. I currently have 20 lots not counting University. There are 91 Sims in Point Forgotten. In that total I counted pregnancies, which is miss leading since there is always the possibility of twins. There are currently 4 households expecting an adopted child to be dropped off on Monday or a birth in the family next round. Currently the first of the Generation 2 babies are in university. Generation 2 is turning out to be mostly a buncha mean little brats but they are very entertaining. I am currently on the university round of Round 7. I play university last on the rotation. So any who on with the show

Lot 1 - Radcliff
Current HouseHold Members - Seth, his wife Tiffany, and their son Christian.
Tiffany was a townie fortune Sim. Both Seth and Tiffany are perma plat. Their son Christian has a 1 mean that I vaguely remember trying to encourage up but think I got bored trying to do. Christian will be going to university during Round 8. Christian is a knowledge Sim.

Seth was the first Sim I ever achieved the pleasure impossible want of 50 Dream Dates. It was his lifetime want. He did cheat on his wife to attain it. He purchased my first ever community lot and used it for date central. When he was done he sold it back to the community. While on one of his girlfriend's lots he was caught cheating by his wife which will make Round 8 interesting.

There are currently 2 plat graves on this lot, James and Jonathon, two of my CAS Elders. Christian has a 3 LB love with Autumn Rivalaria. They will be getting married post university.

Lot 2 - Stiff
Current Household Members - Daniel, his wife Chris, and their son Dylan.
Chris was a townie bar tender. She has a very annoying habit of showing up randomly all over the neighborhood. Daniel and Chris have both become Elders now and are perma plat. Chris is an oh so fun Popularity Sim, god how I hate the ringing phone.

Daniel was the first Sim I've ever had become a PlantSim. He spawned off Uno, who spawned off Dos, who spawned of Tres. Uno, Dos, and Tres then moved out to their own Lot. They will be starting a business to sell garden stuffs for the neighborhood. Daniel was cured after spawning Uno. Dylan is currently in university. I have not yet found his future spouse.

There is currently 1 plat grave on this lot, Andrea Stiff, another CAS Elder.

Lot 3 - Jones
Current Household Members - Jason, Ginger, their son Tyler, and Mandie Lawson.
Jason and Ginger are both perma plat. Jason also having achieved 50 dream dates. He bought the old business that Seth Radcliff has started and then sold back. He has a 3 LB relationship with his wife but he did cheat on her to attain the 50 Dream Dates. He kept rolling the wants so I just let them.

Tyler is currently in university. His intended was Mandie Lawson, however, Tyler found a 3 LB match through an odd series of events that I will tell you more about during the Lot 19s update. I am not sure what I will do with Mandie. She's one of my favorite Sims, and I feel bad breaking her heart, but she was doomed anyways. Tyler was originally a Romance Sim, he is now a Family Sim. However he does have several ladies in love with him. The Jones house is also the first house I ever earned a wishing well with. Mostly likely I will have Mandie marry Joshua Montana but I am really just not sure what I will do with her. She is also perma plat.

Lot 4 - Rivalaria
Current Household Members - Fred, his wife and ex-stepmother Allyn, their son Zedd, and Allyn's kids, Kimberly and Andrew.

After Allyn's husband, CAS Elder, Andy died, she married her stepson who she had 2 LB with and had been intended for in the first place. Allyn had a LTW of a golden anniversary so the easiest solution was for her to marry the person I had originally intended her for. She then gave birth to their only joint child, Zedd. He is named a character from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. I couldn't resist the twisted evilness of having Zedd have siblings that were also his aunt and uncle. He's actually a pretty cool Sim too. Allyn never was very good at keeping down a job so she is mostly a stay at home mom.

There is one plat grave on this lot, and that is Andy's.

Lot 5 - Montana
Current Household Members - Ace, his wife Vamsi, and their son Joshua
Ace and Vamsi opened my first real functioning store. I normally don't play OFB that often, and I don't intend to play it unless I have to for the prosperity with a few noted exceptions. Ace achieved his LTW of earning $100,000 through the Business. Vamsi has gold badge in Flower Arranging, and Ace earned quite a few badges, mainly a gold robotics badge. I will most likely try to have him earn all 9 badges available. Joshua is away at university and Ace and Vamsi are both Elders now. They both achieved the Fortune impossible want, Vamsi actually beat Ace which made me laugh because it was his LTW so I needed it with him and she was just icing on the cake.

Joshua earned my very first ever bag of flaming poo after his date refused to get off the family
instruments. I was trying to use the energizer so I could finish off some scholarships for him, and she just would not co-operate. The Montana House has all instruments, a poker table, a DJ booth, and it's very own strobe light to keep everyone entertained. However it makes it a obstacle course for dates cuz all Sims on the lot always try to head up to the game area of the house.

Lot 6 - Stewart
Current Household Members - Jay and his sister Bella
Jay is currently perma plat and trying to get abducted by aliens. After more than 3 weeks of trying we've had no luck. He was about to roll over to Elder when his sister, decided she wanted to be a Vampire. Namely because she's a knowledge Sim, and I felt like making her one! Well after the Contessa bit Bella, Bella went to sleep, and then the Contessa bit Jay who she didn't even know. That surprised me but was a stroke of luck because I was thinking of marrying Jay off to continue the house and the family name.

Lot 7 - Rivalaria 2
Current Household Members - John, his wife Claire, their daughters Stacey and Peyton
John and Claire are both perma plat sims. They don't know it yet but they are going to spend their elderhood trying to encourage their daughters into being nicer because both girls are very mean. Peyton has a whooping 1 nice.

The girls are currently in university and have a small love triangle going on. Peyton dated Eric Smith in high school, when he went to university with her sister, they fell in love when I wasn't looking. I re-rolled Eric's aspiration and they became a 3 LB couple. However when Peyton got to college I forgot this, and had Peyton get engaged to Eric before I remembered that he is suppose to end up with Stacey. I have no yet resolved how to fix this mainly because I don't want Peyton trash can kicking her sister for the rest of her life. She likes to trashcan kick without any help!

Lot 8 - Smith
Current Household Members - Virginia, her daughter Susan, and her son Eric
Virginia is living up her lonely Elder years. Since her 3 LB husband passed on she started a romance with her old friend Seth Radcliff. Unfortunately while she was getting aspiration boosts from Seth, Seth's wife, Tiffany showed up. Virginia got to achieve her easy impossible want of maxing all skills .
Susan is a romance Sim working on getting perma plat. She likes to woohoo the evil cow mascot whom she is thinking of starting a family with, but I can't decide if I want to let her add to my population. Eric is the house heir.
Eric is currently engaged to Peyton Rivalaria, 3 LB with his live-in girlfriend Stacey Rivalaria, and during a date with Stacey rolled the want to fall in love with their cousin, Kimberly. yeah that's soo not happening. This boy giving me enough problems as is!

Lot 9 - Landgraab
Current Household Members - Abby (Maiden Name - Stiff), her husband Malcolm, and their daughters Kitty and Harmony.
Abby achieved her LTW woohoo with 20 different Sims. Then she was a good girl and got married to get rid of her last name. I screwed up though and accidentally had her propose the marriage. Since I didn't intend for their last name to be Stiff cuz I was sick of looking at it and it's bad enough having 1 house with the name, I fixed this through SimPE. For those who think it's cheating, bite me. I hated the last name and couldn't stand to look at 2 houses with the name for 5 generations! To reward Abby for marrying and popping out babies, I am going to attempt her impossible want of 30 loves. She's currently at around 23ish? Kitty and Harmony are still babies.

Lot 10 - Rivalaria 3
Current Household Members - David, Jenny(maiden name Stewart) their sons Aidan, Allanon, and their daughter Autumn.
David and Jenny are both permaplat. David achieved his impossible want of max all skills. He's had quite a few TOCs. I think around 6? Not that it really matters other than for easy aspiration points. They will become Elders next round. Aidan and Autumn will go to university next round. I think Allanon doesn't go til Round 9. Autumn is 3 LB with Christian Stiff and will be marrying him. I haven't decided which boy will be the heir. Allanon is named for a character from The Shannara Series by Terry Brooks.

Lot 11 - Rivalaria 4
Current Household Members - Tony, Edith (maiden name Stewart) and their son Nathan
Tony and Edith are both perma plat. They have a wishing well on lot and I since they are both popularity Sims I am trying to get them their Impossible want of 30 best friends. God I hate the phone ringing in this game. Nathan decided to use the wishing well to wish for a love because he is a family sim. Who does he bring home?? None other than the ugliest Sim in my game, Hermione Ottomas. He's currently in love with her but he will NOT be marrying her. Nathan is named for another character from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.

Lot 12 - Lawson
Current Household Members - Seth, Theresa, and their daughters Cara and Kahlan.
Seth was married to CAS Elder Andrea Stiff, upon her passing though he moved out with their adopted daughter Mandie. He then fell in love with his 3 LB match The Diva Theresa. Since I like to indulge 3 LBs. They got married. Theresa rolled the want to have a baby so I let her, and without any cheesecake at all (no one could make it) She gave birth to natural twins. She is currently pregnant again since I decided to try for a male heir.

Cara and Kahlan were named after two characters in the Sword of Truth Series. Cara is a pleasure Sim. Kahlan is a knowledge Sim. They are very pretty, but being the spawn of Mr. Big and The Diva, they were destined to be cruel. One of them has a natural 0 mean. There is no way to encourage away from it so hehe, this is gonna be fun.

Lot 13 - Ottomas
Current Household Members - Peter, Samantha, David, Sharla, Tommy, Pasha, Benji, Hermione
Samantha is perma plat. Peter has been plagued with bad chance cards and is still trying. David is almost perma plat. Pasha, Benji, and Tommy are currently in college. Benji is a family Sim so he is the designated Ottomas to reproduce but I'm not sure if he will be this lot's heir due to the size of the family. It depends on how long it takes the parents to die. No I am not fond of this house. Tommy, Sharla, and Hermione desperately need a plastic surgery machine. I've had to resort to face paint which I normally don't use to make it semi-bearable to look at these Sims. For scoring purposes this is an original house so someone has to breed but I really don't want to. Most likely it will be Benji with everyone else moving into a spare house til they die off. I haven't yet decided how I want to handle this. I haven't found a spouse for any of them anyways. The only person who has chemistry are Tommy and David. Tommy likes Peyton Rivalaria and David likes Mandie Lawson. I like both those Sims too much to stick them with the Ottomas genetics for their offspring.

Hermione was named for a character from J.K. Rowlings' Harry Potter series. Pasha and Benji were named for two contestants on the TV Show "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox from this summer competition.

Lot 14 - London
Current Household Members - Randy, Jessica(maiden name Radcliff), and their kids, Justin and Kelly.
Randy and Jessica are both perma plat. They are living in Beans House of Light and Stone. This is an awesome house! I am working on getting them their impossible wants now. Jessica activated a servo named Anita who lived with them until she became permaplat. Then she moved out because I discovered how annoying non-dying servos are. I do have a plan for her though. Justin and Kelly are named after two contestants from the very first season of American Idol. They were the two finalists, Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini.

Lot 15 - Kalson
Current Household Members - Gary, Libby(maiden name Rivalaria), and their girls, Angelina and Shiloh.
Gary and Libby are both permaplat pleasure Sims. They did have some bad chance cards, and Libby had a hard time finding her dream job, but they worked it out in the end. They will be moving into a larger house next round because their starter house was just too small for them. Gary was the goth teen that is linked to the House of Fallen Leaves. He and Libby are a 3 LB couple. Angelina is named after Angelina Jolie, a favorite actress of mine, and Shiloh is named after Angelina Jolie's and Brad Pitt's only biological daughter.

Lot 16 - Stratton
Current Household Members - Jane(maiden name Stewart), her husband Hayden, their kids, Wyatt, Margaret, Jeremy, Avril, and Kricket
Jane and Hayden are perma plat family Sims. I am going to get them their IW of 10 kids. Margaret and Kricket are both adopted. Kricket was formerly Kricket Cooprider from Fellowship I. Margaret was randomly generated. Wyatt will be taking Amethyst Rosada to college with him and they will be getting married. Margaret will be taking Hans Schurzenjager to college. Both of the townies are from the Fellowship also. I recently added all the of the Fellowship Family to the townie and adoption pool to add some variety to the hood.

Wyatt is named after the son of one of the Sisters on the TV Series Charmed. Avril is named after the Canadian Pop singer, Avril Lavigne.

Lot 17 - Centowski
Current Household Members - Orlando, Meadow(maiden name Thayer), Caleb, Owen, Grayson, Spring, Charlie, and Guido.
Orlando and Meadow are both family Sims with the LTW of marry off 6 kids. I paired them up when they became extras during my population explosion stupidity. Orlando was best friends with Abby Stiff, and Meadow was best friends with the Rivalaria boys. I thought oh put them together and kill two birds with one stone. Yeah...HA should have had them marry someone else so I'd have a perma plat parent in the house. These two are a real fun house. Orlando mostly works while Meadow pops out babies, and takes care of the house. I think all the teens are popularity Sims, with 1 of them a Fortune Sim. Guido is another adopted Fellowship kid. His last name in the Fellowship was Roma.

The Centowskis activated Bob the servo, who got perma plat and moved out so they could continue making babies. This is the first house I've played with toys because Meadow came with the Toy making badge. The water Wiggler is a blast!! I also like that it seems to be a multi person interaction. I am thinking of trying for the Family Aspiration IW with Meadow and Orlando but am undecided at the moment. We'll see what happens.

Owen and Caleb are named after my best friend's twin sons. Charlie is named after my pet Chinchilla that I had to give away because I was allergic to him. Bob the servo was named after both my ball python that I had to give away because my roommate was scared of him, and my dead Black Moor Goldfish.

Lot 18 - Wolosenko
Current Household Members - Kent, his wife Sophie(maiden name Miguel), and their sons, Regis and Clay.
Kent and Sophie are now both knowledge Sims. They were added to my game during the Explosion. Kent was best friends with Jenny Stewart, Sophie with one of the Rivalaria boys. They just got into the garden club last round and are working on their IW. Regis and Clay are teens but I can't remember what aspiration they are at the moment.

Regis and Clay are named after Regis Philbin and Clay Aiken. I was watching "Are you smarter than a Fifth Grader" and they were the contestants when the twins were born.

Lot 19 - Cormier
Current Household Members - Ricky, Tiffany(maiden name Sampson) their daughter, Becca.
Ricky is perma plat, thanks to a nice chance card. He had the LTW of $100,000. He was re-rolled to fortune during college. He was best friends with Tony Rivalaria and got sent to college during the explosion. Post college I had him call the matchmaker when I decided to try and continue his family name. He got the then playable Tiffany Sampson of the Tri Var Sorority. I then speed played her thru Uni in one round since I was only putting her through to keep from losing points for her dropping out.

While Tiffany was at college, she met Tyler Jones. She is a natural 3 LB with Tyler. They had a little fling in college. She moved in with Ricky and gave birth to their daughter Becca. They then tried for baby again hoping for a male heir. No chimes. While Ricky was at work she had Tyler over and got knocked up by him. After the birth of her love child, she will be trying to have another heir with Ricky at which point she will break up with him and move in with Tyler, taking her love child with her. Tiffany's LTW is max all skills so she can do this while making babies =-)

Lot 20 - Stiff PlantSims
Current Household Members - Uno, Dos, Tres
If you are thinking, aren't those Spanish numbers, then you are thinking correctly. Since you only get points for 10 generations of PlantSims I decided to make it easy on myself by naming them numbers. They will be starting a business selling things like Eggplants, Apples, and other such yummy Juice machine items. They will be played every round. Dos is in love with Blair Fairchild, and may be moving him in to achieve his LTW. Since perma plat Sims are easier and he is a Family Sim this is a strong possibility. I haven't decided yet.

Lot 21 - Servos
Current Household Members - Anita Radcliff, Bob Centowski
This is the dumping grounds for all useless servos that get on my nerves. I will be setting up a business for them. They are going to make my neighborhoods Trash can protectors, SnapDragons, Toys, and such not. Since they never die, I will be playing them til I have them making what I want, and then they will become an sort of NPC lot. This way I have a place to buy the things my Sims need without torturing myself constantly with OFB. I'm not real fond of OFB. I like it but I get frustrated with the load times between lots.

If you've read this far, thank you for taking the time to catch up on Point Forgotten. I will at some point in the future actually resume blogging with pictures. My Sims have really started talking to me. This is the first real challenge I've stuck with besides my Asylum Challenge Story I posted on the Sims 2 website. I really enjoy it. I have all expansions installed except for Bon Voyage and I am hesitant to install it because of SimPE mostly. I use it to back up and occasionally fix glitches. I will eventually install it though because I want the turn ons/off that were added with that x-pac.

I have finally embrace all the love of custom content. I do have a phone hack installed. I just got sick of annoying useless phone calls whining. Or rude people when I Tried to contact other Sims. The Hack I use makes the messages nicer or tells me what time the Sim I'm calling will return home from work or school. I am considering adding Risky Woohoo, but haven't yet decided.

Anywho thanks for reading, and Until Next Time Have a Happy Holiday!!
