Yep, I decided to have her do music and cooking.  The skill challenges, I dunno.  I am working on the tips one right now, she is at about 6k.  So a ways to go yet, but I don't think it will be too bad, seeing as she hasn't been an adult for long.  Master guitarist should be easy, no?  She is at level 9 guitar right now but soon she will be able to learn all the songs available for purchase.  I have no clue what songs are "awarded", I haven't seen anything yet.  Guitar Star I have no idea about, but it's only 10 venues.  I am going to look that one up later, after I get the tips one done.  It's got to be easier than collecting.  And she already has the Menu Maven skill challenge for cooking, so that part isn't looking bad either.

LOL!  Locking them in the basement doesn't sound like much fun.  Hopefully I don't get any more evil sims.  I haven't had a snob yet but you're making me hope to avoid that as well.  So far mine all get along, but then, I only have 4 people in the house.  Marci and Riley, and their spouses.  Everyone works but Marci, so she typically just wanders the house alone all day with Scout.


ETA:  She just got level 10 skill on guitar, and when I checked the skill journal she has completed the Master Guitarist challenge!  So that one was easier than I thought.

The problem with the 10 venues is that the skill is bugged. It's been a long running bug (around since the base game) and I'm unsure if it's been fixed, but since it was around for so long is why I'm weary of it. You have to wait for 10 opportunities to play at different places, if I remember right. It's challenging in it's own right, here's the thread I found on it - http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=35.0 best of luck!

ouch, that is going to hurt.  I suppose I can always fall back on the remaining collecting challenges if it won't work out, I should only need 1  :-\

Riley's facial expressions are just gorgeous! I love that pic of her in the nursery's rocking chair  :D

This is really interesting! I am enjoying this story. Your building is just beautiful! I love their house, and the resort--wow.

For informational purposes, as I think this may help you in the future:
Elder men can father children, it's just elder women that can't bear them. Not that I'm complaining--Rubisel looks great young!

Hmmm not sure why I thought they couldn't!  Good to know.
It's funny about Rubisel.  Originally I got him plastic surgery to fix his big nose.  After he aged into an elder and I had him take the potion, his new young self looked slightly different from how he had looked before!  Now he just walks around in strange costumes all day because of his career.

Riley has disappeared, just like Rubisel's first dog did.  I've been waiting a few weeks now trying to fix it, but I don't think I can.  She is somewhere underground.  It was fine for a spare but I can't think of any way to fix her! 

I might try again with the same family.

You've tried resetting her?  Or doing a global reset?

Have her change her clothes, that should fix it. The invisible issue is usually a corrupted piece of clothing.

Ohh, I'm so bummed that things have gone wrong for you. I was really loving this story. Fingers crossed you can fix Riley.

I hope you get all issues figured out and return to playing. Do you use CC? If so try uninstalling anything your family was wearing.

I owe you one big time!  That totally fixed the problem, I had no idea it would be that easy.  I even tried moving Riley out just to see if it would work (didn't save it, and it didn't work).  I don't know why her clothing would be corrupted, it is not cc.  And to the person who asked, I don't use cc.  I have purchased a small handful of things from the store but that is all.

Wow, it has been months since I have been able to play this.  Now I need to remember where I was at as far as goals!

Here is a fresh update, since it has been so long and my issue is now solved.  I need a reason to look over my screenshots anyway and recall where I was at.


Riley fell for the trap, and ended up being pretty embarrassed.  Okay, okay, so I directed her right into it immediately and while he was still standing there.  I just wanted to see what would happen!!!





I got to work early on her skills, and bought her a stove.



Here she is enjoying her accomplishments:



I also let her just be a kid.  I tried to get some screenshots of that too, since I had so many of her siblings.  Unfortunately she suffers from 3rd child syndrome where theres a billion pics of the first born and only two of the third.  It's just that she spent so much time doing uninteresting things for the dynasty.  Like cooking and studying.  To be fair, I do have a hundred pictures of her cooking.  Doesn't she just look THRILLED to have fun for once??  Gosh, lighten up, Riley!




Naturally, her mere presence creates a Kodak moment for this emerging zombie.



Rob has his prom, so Riley keeps him company while he waits for his limo.



Once there, he realizes that he might be overdressed.



Unfortunately, he was unable to secure a date, so he came home with this lonely (yet awesome) photo:



Riley has gotten on the honor roll, as required.  She also got (and completed) the opportunity "Free Game".





So I let her age up.  At some point Rory also aged up.  Sadly, it was so long ago that I don't remember details.










Riley is now a couch potato, just like her mother!  Rory is a hopeless romantic.


I have Riley continue working on her cooking skills...  Gross, what is that.



Rubisel furthers his painting skills, and begins a nice picture of Marci:



The Conroys buy a new car:



Riley drives Marci insane begging to learn to drive.



Unfortunately, her first time out doesn't go very well.  She hit the ice cream truck and almost killed her mother.



I did get this lovely scenery though:



She gets her job at the cemetery and is promoted fairly quickly.



Doesn't this look painful?

It's a common bug, it's usually career outfits that get corrupted on a Sim. If it happens just change their clothing and try to get them a new outfit there ASAP. :)

Also, even if you did have CC, I would advise as to not remove all of said CC off of one family unless you were absolutely sure that was what caused it, but that's another story. Haha best of luck! Don't ever let a minor bug stand in your way! A lot of us have a lot of experience with bugs in long-term games and have found solutions to them. :D
