[@kiminimuchu__]

Nooo, I wish the old challenges hadn't been all added back, it's not as satisfying if at the end of this playthrough there's still a bunch of challenges that can't be removed, it just feels incomplete. It's more satisfying if the house is finally clean and nice at the end honestly.

9:04 Regarding the holiday thing, from my experience at most three sims can have it, so if you have more than three sims in your household some will not have it. The selection of "holiday sims" (Semaj and the two kids in your case) tends to stay constant throughout multiple holidays, but can change when there's a change to who belongs to the household.

You wanted helpful tips with all the lot challenges back. GATHER WATER 💧from the fishing hole literally across the street from Semaj's house. Even the kids can gather water so if all 4 of you gather water everyday, you’ll always have warm showers and probably gain a surplus to sell. In my centuries generation game I have everyone gather (4 now but 1st generation was 8 and they didn't have plumbing in the 1800s) and always have enough for baths and usually have a completely filled surplus i sell once a week so I know it works if done everyday. Also now that you're off the grid again you can sell the electrical box and water heater unless you want to add a roof one to the rocket pad. Also buy lunch boxes for Semaj and the kids and put into your inventory so you can have quick meals every where you go. They don't work on OTG but if walk into road they will. You could also get the kids into knitting, bracelet making and/or cross stich and have them earn their keep as well. Just some tips I've learned.

A thought that *really* tickles my imagination is a side story from the perspective of one (or both) of the kids moving into adulthood and building a new life after their horrific traumatic childhood, being raised in a haunted house, with no electricity or water, mostly no space to themselves, mould and health hazards everywhere, one ghost parent, and one that *litterally* never cared about them at all. Knowing their birth was only a small "side quest" in the one father's obession with completing life challenges that a higher power commanded him to complete. I dunno, I could just imagine the scenario in my mind, and it could be an awesome film even. Don't know if a youtube let's play would make it justice, but hey! Could be quite entertaining, huh?

At least it might be a little less of a struggle, now that the babies are kids & can fend for themselves. They can even be of some help to us like being available to feed the cat. If you get the Revivify spell, will it work on the Cowplant? I know we still need our Marriage of Convenience to be resurrected in order for it to count as a “Sim,” but IF it works for cowplants and we already have it on hand, I don’t see why we couldn’t use it again.
