No problem with hiatuses! Barney's the first child sim I've seen with a death wish, or perhaps a wish to go back to foster care (understood).

Nice to see you returning to the craziness Nella!

I did play my ISBI challenge through the fist gen, but then I couldn't stand leaving them to their own devices any longer and started playing them all!

I guess I'm just not cut out to seeing chaos reigning in my sims' family. lol

I wasn't even playing with points or anything, but I still couldn't take seeing them all starving/smelly/exhausted!

My Watcher self is just too hands on and my firstborn, care-taker personality just has to fix it! :)

But I'm looking forward to seeing your Marge's continued struggles with the madness that is her life!

Maybe he thinks is a way to contact with his alien family lol. That sequence was a headache, Marge interrupting him three times in a row and the boy ignored it.

Several times I have been tempted to abandon the isbi part of the challenge because I'm a very controlling watcher, but later when I see the screenshots it makes me want to continue playing like this, because there are things that would not be possible without the isbi and one of the things I like the most in this challenge is writing the story. I love strange, quirky sims and this game is full of them.

Oh my, this is hilarious! Poor Marge!

You inspire me to try this combination as well. I've always wanted to do another ISBI anyway, though I never heard about Do it as You Go before. Here's hoping I score some pretty crazy rolls as well.

Of all the challenges I'm doing, this is the most entertaining, every day that passes I get more hooked. Hope you're enjoying it too!

Televisions and open house layouts never mix and sims don't have a TV mute button for some reason? Honestly the family TV watching was one of the sweetest moments of this challenge yet. They might even love each other after all!

This story is still crazy fun! I like how all the kids have different personalities. Mona is my favorite if you're wondering. :P

I need to better at responding comments ::)

I may had been wondering because I have a difficult time choosing one of them to be the heir.

They might! Wonder never cease to happens in this challenge. At the moment I took that photo I was more frustrated than anything else because of all the path problems it was causing, but looking at it from a distance it is really a nice picture.

Wow---completely crazy! Fun things to do and they go home, age up where and when you don't want them to, and then either pee themselves or pass out or both! Keep hanging in there Marge, and pass the torch to one of your oh so crazy offspring!!!

I thought I was crazy for my grey sims getting too shiny. Though I had no trouble with screenshots of Seymour.

The negative score is just...crazy...but even with controlled sims I always fail to send a few to prom so I gotta hand it to them for the bare minimum.

Su much fails! :o Your ISBI is doing well, which is inconsistent with the score. I said it before but I'll repeat it again, I like how you have given each of the children a well-defined personality.

I know what you mean, the worse the score the better it feels  :P . Some personalities were easier to develop like Mona's or Barney's, other not so much. So it's good that they come across like I intended.

I thought I was crazy for my grey sims getting too shiny. Though I had no trouble with screenshots of Seymour.
The brightness thing happens with others dark colors too and it's more noticeable outside.

The negative score is just...crazy...but even with controlled sims I always fail to send a few to prom so I gotta hand it to them for the bare minimum.
I like the negative score when I'm writing but not when playing lol. Five of six kids going to prom without controlling them was more than what I was hoping for.

Wow---completely crazy! Fun things to do and they go home, age up where and when you don't want them to, and then either pee themselves or pass out or both! Keep hanging in there Marge, and pass the torch to one of your oh so crazy offspring!!!
In less than two weeks Marge will become one of the sims that cause these things. For some reason I think she'll give me a hard time once she's on free will.

I can follow the dialogue pretty well!

Congrats on maybe the best day points-wise you've had ever. :P Having a sim unintentionally just stay over the house would have been great kissing fodder for Marge but she shouldn't go there with a teen. I don't try to push authors towards the Harwood spawn (this is my decade-long sim obsession to deal with, not anyone else's) but Lakisha at least showed that she was crazy by not leaving immediately, so obviously she's perfect.

I think that after having to deal with six teens all the time, Marge would turn away from any other, so she's would never go there with a teen. :P  ( and she shouldn't, obviously). Push me toward Harwood spawn anytime! I love him and his big mouth. I'm really contemplating her as a 2nd gen spouse, I think Barney and her would make very strange looking kids which is what I prefer, pretty sims tend to look similar to each others (at last to me).
