Xander surprised Vanessa with a trip to Champs Les Sims! Naturally, Quinn tags along ;)

Xander cheated on Vanessa... This time right in front of her, in broad daylight! When she’s pregnant with his baby! I’m just (╬▔皿▔)╯

Generation 1 is over! It was such a ride - as a newcomer, I made a lot of silly mistakes and had quite a few happy/not happy accidents (some of them I showed, a lot of them I didn’t for reasons lol), regardless it was a ton of fun. I think Vanessa is my first Sims 3 Sim I grew attached to 🤧

And now that I’m finished, it’s time to calculate the overall score of “how well I did” based on the goals I’ve set up with the help of @/horusmenhosetix’ challenge. As I mentioned beforehand, this generation was largely inspired by the “Dream On” section but I ended up completing some other goals as well \o/

New lepacy, here we go! Vanessa Halen has just moved to Sunset Valley to party, play her guitar and see what the Base Game has to offer.

I reverted to a simpler - what I believe - “Maxis Match” look and it’s much more comfortable to both play and edit like this for me. I’m content ^^

Also to not going in totally blind, I’ll use @horusmenhosetix’ “Completionist Challenge” objectives as guidance. Vanessa’s generation is inspired by the “Dream On” section. Let’s do this ✨

Level 8, so close!

You got this, kiddo!

Xander got an earful from his mother for acting the way he did. So to do something right for once, he proposed Vanessa and baby Quinn move in with them! Vanessa gladly accepted. She was looking into moving to a bigger place anyway.
