Penny is gorgeous, and we already know that Raj has great children. Looking forward to this!

I've never played either one of them before, so it's been fun for me.

How happy I am to see this sneak-peek!
Just now, I read your comment in the TenGen Townie Dynasty Challenge thread and thought to myself: "It would be so great if reggiko would post her progress through her challenge with screenshots..."

Yay!

I've finally figured out that I get bogged down with too many screenshots and a proper story so this will be more of a highlight reel. :)

The trick is for us to not let the storytelling become a chore, haha.
I'm looking forward to your strategic highlights! And nice choice of founding couple, btw.

Penny: Hello, Raj Rasoya? You don't know me, but I'm Penny and you are going to marry me and have a baby with me so that I can complete this Dynasty thingy. Your non-pretty boy genetics are pleasing to me.

Raj: I feel oddly enchanted. But wait, what??

Penny: Now, let's go tell your mother the happy news.

Geeta: Babies!

A few hours later:

Raj: Um, I do?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ahem. Moving on.

Priya, the Independent toddler.

Two days of sadness! TWO DAYS. Kiss any hopes of that super toddler deal goodbye.

Akira is the best duet partner.

Priya is a cute bookworm. She managed to max potty and imagination and grew up a Happy Toddler despite the two days of sadness.

Penny's points:
Maxed skills: 22 points
Promotions: 7 points
Designated skill (singing): 10 points
Maxed career: 2 points
Aspirations completed (Priya Whiz Kid): 2 points
Gold medal parties (date, dinner, incognito): 3 points
Wishes (wealth): 1 point
Satisfaction (1000): 1 point
$30000 added to household funds: 2 points
Good Friends (Geeta Rasoya, Akira Kibo, Miko Ojo, Karim Ichmawin, Priya Pizzazz): 5 points

Deductions:
Pass out: -3
Observant reward: -1
Hired NPC bartender: -1

Net: 50 points

The pass outs came from Raj's encounter with Caleb, and both Raj and Karim decided to stand outside at the elevator after returning from work until they passed out.

I bought the observant reward so that Penny could scope out potential mates for Priya.

I hired a bartender for the Incognito Party and then realized that would count as an NPC hire. Duh!

Overall, the first generation was challenging, especially after Geeta died. I normally just give my Sims moodlet solvers after a death and move on! It was at that point that I moved Karim in so that I had an adult around for Priya in order to avoid hiring a Nanny. Karim was a very good Sim. He was a busker, so came with a good many musical points. A lot of the promotions came from his Musician career (joined after Priya became a child), which worked out well because even though he had everything he needed, Raj was only promoted once and that was on a free day. I think his career is bugged. Karim was also a better caregiver for Priya than Raj was, frequently checking on her, taking her to potty, etc.

Penny did not get many satisfaction points at all because she was frequently involved in dealing with Priya as a toddler and working on skills and maxing her career.

Great work, Penny, on locking down that unflirty Raj! And their daughter is so cute!

Wow, that Sad moodlet, though!
In the next update, I'm hoping that Penny gets some satisfaction or, at least, some Raj reaction! (That's what I say, hey hey hey!)

Haha. Actually, Raj was very affectionate with Penny. I am thinking I will likely start a casual game soon and play the City Living Sims. I'd like to play Raj as a controlled Sim.

Priya is an adorable child!!
Looks like your dynasty is off to a great start.  I'm thinking I may start one of these after I finish (hopefully successfully) my IDC.
Loved Penny's courting of Raj, by the way!  She just threw it all straight in his lap and plowed right forward  :=)
