Okay, people. I'm off until next week to celebrate my 27th birthday in NYC with some friends before they put me out to pasture
On a personal note, I've been scrambling to get obscene amounts of money together for my graduate program starting in Madrid this coming fall. The Classics have seen me through waiting for my GMAT scores all the way to now and I think I'll always associate them with giving me a rest from all of the stress that's been associated with trying to get into a top 5 MBA program while balancing an incredibly stressful and demanding workload for my job.
I am 10 days from Champagne's elder birthday in-game. It crashes every 1.5 sim days or so and takes half an hour to boot back up so it is ... really slow going. Really. really. slow.
To entertain myself I've occasionally messed with some of the urns. Freddie comes out, feeds the fish, fills the pet bowls (no more pets, remember) and then goes to sleep in one of the girls' beds. I'm considering uncanning Emmett just so he'll get abducted by aliens or eat jelly beans as a ghost. This is how bored I am.
Come on, ladies, you can do it! At the moment, I'm just ecstatic that I'm nowhere near the eighth generation, let alone the eighth generation's adult stage! If worst comes to worst, you can lock them in little cubicles and stay on Speed 3 until it's over.
Creating cubicles would crash the game
Yay Mata Hari! Your so close. Just one little birthday cake more, and you'll be done Your doing updates so fast, I can hardly keep up! its all on you Champagne, DONT YOU DARE MESS UP! 
There's so little story to work with at the moment. I feel like Champagne is getting a bit shirked on the life story front, so maybe she'll get a more thorough epilogue than the others. The worst thing is her love interest never being available to hang out.
The end is so close! I can hardly believe that you're just one age transition away. Congratulations, Mata Hari--and hang in there!
I try to have it up and running as often as possible right now while I do other things. Just to make the time go by faster.
Oh my goodness! I go to play with my sims for 2 days and now you're almost done?! Wow keep going I'm getting so excited!!!! Congrats on your 7th Immortal and on Bubby completing her requirements so early! I was awesome to see Goopy again also. Going to stay around more so just in case the end is closer than i thought!
You're so sweet. I'm gone till Tuesday, so rest easy. Working on anything you're planning to post, perhaps? Maybe? Hm?
You know, you could have just saved her hair colour when she was younger to give it back when she was an elder. That's what I do with my Elders with interesting hair colours^^
Chama could learn bass, and drums, along with any other non-supermaxed skill, maybe photography?
And congratulations on your seventh immortal~

This is a good point. She won't be old for long, though. She's learning mixology at the moment. Got photography under her belt, cooking, piano, fishing, sculpting, you name an un-assigned skill other than riding, and she is working on it.
Congrats! Excited to see how you're gonna wrap this all up once you're officially done Do you have a previous save you could use to save the custom color? That might work
She should get it back when I Young Again her. I do have a former save, though. Just in case
Aging up during a tinkle. So undignified for such a proper young Classic! Well, you get through it at the end however you can. Birthday party at destination? Crash! Birthday party at home? Crash! Just some freaking cake? Crash! Oh fine, age up however I don't care!! Haha. See, I can laugh now.
At least Rosetta didn't burst in this time to congratulate her! haha. That's all I could think about when it happened. But seriously. Everything makes the game crash. And the refrigerator keeps glitching and requiring replacement, but I can only open Build/Buy OR CAS once per gameplay and I can't switch floors. So ... that's fun. Especially since I sculpt two floors above the museum.
Maybe Champagne should absolutely NEVER, under any circumstances, meet Freddie. Champagne has had to deal with Braden's age, relationship status, and job. Don't add a painfully gorgeous guy to the list of obstacles.
Considering Freddie is her great-grandpa and she looks a good deal like him, hopefully she'd be unaffected! I thought Braden was pretty hunky before he aged up. Besides, she thrives on the drama. It's part of her snob trait
Anyway, I can't thank you guys enough for reading up to this point and commenting. The comments mean so much to me and I giddily check and re-check my submissions after posting because I love hearing back so much.
You guys are an awesome community. I hope you're as excited as I am to finish the official part of this thing so I can move the ladies somewhere less laggy, make them beautiful and young, and give them everything they deserve with the cheat panel wide, wide open!
