Hi.
This is going to be a quick documentary adult start apocalypse using FT rules. And I mean the
quick part. I am playing with pets restrictions shoved under Medical (Senility), Entertainment
(Skilling), and Beds (Law). I have the expansion, but I also have clean templates. I don’t feel like
spawning pets just for this. This will also point out loopholes and tricks to playing a FT adult start.
Let’s go.
![Page 2: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This is our founder, Ding Dong. He’s a Fortune Pisces with stats of 3/6/6/0/10. He wants
to own 5 top level businesses – Ha! Not happening. You’ll be lucky to be able to sell the
crap you get. We’re playing in Strangetown, only because I don’t feel like making a
custom hood and populating it. I admit it, I am lazy.
![Page 3: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pause your game immediately. And build. This is what you should end up with. It is a
small 3x8 room with a door (locked to household) and floating sections of ceiling/roof.
Use the 4 pillars required by Architecture to place them. I use the “All EARS from
Suburban Appeal” carpet for flooring. Trust me it comes in handy later. Leave the
spaces open for your stairs and place the stairs before placing wall sections on either side
up or down.
NOW SAVE!!!
![Page 4: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
I was left enough for an Ikea Bed ($480), an Ikea bookcase ($190), a recliner ($149),
fridge ($600), sink ($275), toilet ($300), and phone ($60.)
If I had been smart, I would have held off on the recliner and bought a cheaper chair and
had enough for the $99 stereo. But it is a habit for me to but the recliner first.
I am not showing it but RoseFyre was here when it happened. The first job in the paper
was Military. Again. My last adult start got that literally not 3 days prior.
![Page 5: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Military needs 6 friends and since he already got a mechanical point while waiting for the
paper and he can’t work until the next day. Get started on the friends early. Friends
mean networking promotions and cheaper household items and building material (and
better wallpaper and flooring).
![Page 6: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Friends also help with that all important fun motive. And if you didn’t know it before red
hands is the fastest way to build fun. Faster than a TV. Faster than a computer game.
Slapping someone’s hand is the funnest thing EVER in the sims (other than kicking a
flamingo).
![Page 7: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Also get used to instant meals and the trek to the trashcan until you can afford a counter
and a grill or the trash chute (which is not affected by lowest rated.) Instant meals also
keep for longer, and are slightly less likely in my experience to cause food poisoning when
drunk spoiled.
![Page 8: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You didn’t need to see the car pool right? Assume time passes and I am spending the
time skilling, caring for needs and building what little I can.
Ding here is actually not bad at skilling. He sucks in other ways. Which we will get to.
This townie just gave me my most favorite thing ever. Lower household costs. So useful
early on.
![Page 9: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Which means we can get the stereo. Getting the three body is the hard thing in an apoc.
Especially early on.
In any career, if it requires body and you are skilled in the other skills needed for the next
promotion, work on the hardest to gain skill first. For me, that is body. For others it will
be creativity or charisma. Work on the hard to gain skill first.
![Page 10: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And this is why I like messy sims. Sponge bathing will up you to 3/4ths of the way full and
takes less time than hand washing. And if you have 3 or less neat you can lick plates
clean for that extra nutrition.
![Page 11: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Unfortunately the downside is that things break faster. But if you need mechanical, it is
okay.
![Page 12: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I should point out that at this very moment, his environment score is at about 3/4ths full.
The windows and the mirror coupled by the small space make it a great skilling place.
![Page 13: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Also, let me point out that banning the “Great Divide” floor dividers from pets was
pointless. You can achieve the same effect with any garden edging which is unrestricted.
This is the $5 stump fence. It’s cheap and it serves its purpose – which is the illusion of
privacy, cleanliness, and silence – just like the floor dividers.
![Page 14: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Now for all that Ding Dong was great at skilling (the low playful). He rarely rolled
fulfillable wants – not even get promotion or skill needed for next promotion. So I saw a
lot of worry hands. However, aspiration isn’t as important if you have friends who are
calling in your promotions for you (Bella Goth, Johnson Pai, and Margaret Howe all did
that).
![Page 15: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Also he ate a good amount of green food. Mostly because I was using him to make cereal
to skill a little cooking and cereal isn’t really filling. But taking time from necessary
skilling wasn’t happening so sacrifices were made.
![Page 16: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Like Ding’s aspiration. Fun fact, sims will roll the wants for their highest level hobby first.
Ding’s is fitness. That means Jogging – which is quite possibly the most annoying thing to
do since it tanks your needs. Ding could not jog, he was sad about this.
![Page 17: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
However he did at some point roll the want for a promotion. He in fact rolled this want
exactly twice. He also brought home Buzz Grunt.
Fun tip, there is a hack that puts people in their right clothes for their skill level. So you
can tell by uniform what level they are likely at so might have an idea of who has high
level skills and who has what careers pre-Intelligence. If someone who is in Science
brings home Mr. Claw you know you have a Mad Scientist or in General Buzz’ case a
General
![Page 18: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
At the halfway point, Ding is a Senior Officer and has the following built. Note: I haven’t
placed a car. This is deliberate. Because I am in Military, if I lift I will get “Walk to
Work/School” options. Thus saving the bottom level for other things. Also, don’t place
the car until later anyway. It tanks hygiene and comfort but raises fun. The latter is great
for those housebound teens who can’t do things anyway.
![Page 19: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
He also froze.
If you don’t have friends over, making a snowman builds both fun and social. It also can
lead to other side effects.
![Page 20: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Like Penguins talking while you take a header in the snow.
![Page 21: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And then returning while you are still frozen.
![Page 22: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
He got unfrozen but collapsed after not peeing himself (he had the fear of an accident but
not passing out.)
![Page 23: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Steal my paper, Olive!
Soon it was time to start spouse hunting/scouting. Ding likes High Creative/High Logic.
Which point to Business, Culinary, or Politics high levels.
He has negative bolts with this person. But she fulfilled a much needed role. Friend
number seven. The buffer friend.
![Page 24: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Because soon after he lifted Military. Ding was 11 days to elder at this point and had no
other real skills other than two cooking and two cleaning.
![Page 25: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So now the spouse hunt was in earnest. Trick. Stop every walk by you can. The game
likes to throw new sims at you before old ones. Also in this hood because of clean
templates I don’t get the social group wallabies.
Also note the knocked over trashcan. With the trash chute from Apartment life, you need
never pick it up again and you will not get roaches from this. I have a trash chute on
both floors.
![Page 26: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Also, the keep out fence is built. Four sections of fence, one gate (locked to household),
and the pillar. Sims can’t walk around the pillar and this is an effective deterrent for
unknown sims.
![Page 27: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We also got promotion calling in sim Margaret Howe as the 6:30pm walk by. One greet.
One kiss. And the hearts went flying. She has 3 bolts with Ding so I crossed my fingers
and moved her in, hoping for Culinary.
![Page 28: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Not Culinary but something even better. Medical. 2nd level but skilled for 3rd. No Friends. No
crap in inventory. She is perfect. She also had 2 cooking points, 4 mechanical, 3 charisma, 3
body, 7! Logic, 7! Creativity and 4 cleaning. She’s a Fortune sim who wants to be a criminal
mastermind and is a stock Scorpio. Thus explaining the bolts.
As soon as she moved it, she walked to work and got promoted. I got her promoted until she
needed a skill again (which took two days). Just because I know that stock Scorpio’s make crap
pregnant sims.
![Page 29: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Unfortunately, she’s also got one of my least favorite neatnesses. Too neat to sponge
bathe. Not neat enough to use the sink effectively.
I’d rather not pass that along to the kids.
![Page 30: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Then it was baby time! I want the first kid a child or close thereto before Ding became an
elder and therefore senile.
![Page 31: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Chimes on the first go.
![Page 32: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I was right about Margaret’s ability to be a good pregnant sim. She didn’t throw up, but
her needs dropped like a stone. I constantly had to wake her up to eat green food (which
if I wasn’t careful she would clean up the serving plate on) just to keep her alive.
And yes, sponge bathing pictures amuse me.
![Page 33: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
All clean, Ding proposed to Margaret. I had him check her out to see if the want would
show up. But no dice – he wanted a butler – and since she’s pregnant and I want his last
name. This needs to happen before she spawns.
![Page 34: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Naturally she said yes.
Note the curtains. They are unrestricted except by lowest rated which dictates how much
environment they can have and for how much. Shove windows and curtains and mirrors
EVERYWHERE. Your sims environment score will not even notice the blank walls and crap
floors because of it.
![Page 35: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A few days later, the marriage took place.
![Page 36: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Just in time too since she started popping a few hours later.
![Page 37: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
And the first child was born, Long Dong, with his father’s eyes and hair and a darker
freckled skin tone.
![Page 38: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
This is also the first time I’ve seen Margaret in her everyday clothes. They aren’t bad.
Margaret goes back to skilling while Ding settles down to write a few novels before aging
up.
![Page 39: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And yes she is thinking about the promotion before getting pregnant. She didn’t get any
during but she didn’t miss work or get fired either.
![Page 40: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Now she’s back off to work to keep going for Medical. I think she was general practioner
at this point.
![Page 41: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Which Ding aged up Long.
Long has his father’s ears too. But gods he’s got the personality from hell – 1/10/10/10/4.
He’s going to be miserable.
![Page 42: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Get promotions Margaret! Your child needs you!
![Page 43: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Margaret is much better than Ding at keeping happy. She rolls stead wants for money and
promotions and every day she wants to talk about hobby and play chess. She’s almost
always high gold/low plat. Unlike Ding who rarely got out the green.
![Page 44: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
This and a crib is all you need for the kid. If they want to learn a toddler skill, teach them
the nursery rhyme. It raises charisma while you do it. Screw the rest. Keep the kid
happy with tickles and snuggles.
![Page 45: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Ding managed to pump out two novels before he aged, but because the first novel was a
bad one he dipped into the red. Oops?
Luckily he didn’t make it to the phone before aging for the second one.
![Page 46: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Because it was a flop too. Sending him into aspiration failure. Oops?
![Page 47: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Margaret continued skilling, ignoring her crazy old husband in the corner.
![Page 48: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
A little chicken dance and Ding felt marginally better.
![Page 49: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
And Margaret deemed him worthy of red hands.
![Page 50: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Then he made a mess and left his wife to clean it up.
![Page 51: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
And this became a theme. Ding preferred the recliner to sleep in. Which made me
annoyed because the recliner glitches open and sims snap reset out of it. So every time
he slept in it I had to replace it (which lowered my funds not much because he got the
general chance card full of money, but it’s the principle of the thing!)
![Page 52: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
I also realized that because of my lighting mod, I didn’t show you what Margaret looked
like. She’s face 2, I think. And Ding seems to like having a hot young wife.
![Page 53: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
He’d also like an aspiration point or three.
![Page 54: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Sigh… Go back to work again.
![Page 55: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Long got his Dad’s attention and demanded a bottle and a diaper change.
![Page 56: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Because he had some growing up to do.
Even though he didn’t get all toddler skills – he only had the Nursery Rhyme. Long was
able to get all 4 needs perks. Toddler Skills are not necessary. I aged him up because of
hygiene and because of Ding’s stupidity. He had 7 charisma though.
![Page 57: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
While Ding found his favorite pass out location and made good use of it. Now that he’s an
elder, he sucks at caring for himself. Sucks at it. Will not eat when called to eat. Even
though he is starving. This sim as a death wish.
![Page 58: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
I wouldn’t mind if he died out here, because you know, it’s not in the house. But not until
Margaret lifts.
![Page 59: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Because I think Ding passed on his stupid gene to his son.
![Page 60: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
“Come to see me off to school, Dad?”
“I thought garbage pail kids went out of fashion in the eighties.”
“Bye, Dad! I’ll play red hands with you when I get home!”
![Page 61: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
“Red hands?”
“Can’t, got to pee.”
![Page 62: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
“Red hands NOW!”
“Fine.”
Another fun tidbit. Kids will do their homework with fully red hygiene, if the rest of their
needs and fun bar are really high. Remember that for later.

Meanwhile, Ding scares the neighbors with sponge bathing outside.
![Page 64: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
“Help me?”
He almost looks like a kicked puppy. But I am not that sympathetic. He could have rolled
a fulfillable want. BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!
![Page 65: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
His wife and son roll them all the time. I usually get about 1000 aspiration out of the two
of them every morning and every evening.
![Page 66: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Which is pretty much the only way Long will do his homework. He’s way too messy to get
clean with hand washing so Plat it is.
![Page 67: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
It doesn’t mean he doesn’t hand wash. Just enough to make things dirty so he can clean
them.
![Page 68: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
“I’m really boring.”
![Page 69: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
She’s one promotion away from lifting Medical so that means that I can afford to get her
pregnant and still get her pregnant once more right before Ding dies.
![Page 70: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
“I hate being dirty!!!”
Such is the life of an apoc kid.
![Page 71: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
However, Long’s extreme personality means that he will do one thing autonomously.
Jump Rope. High Active and/or High Playful they will jump rope to raise fun. So I am
happy about this. Unfortunately I don’t think this going to happen for all of my kids. It
only happens 3-4 times in a full apoc.
![Page 72: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Meanwhile, Margaret keeps working on getting 10 body so she can walk to work as an
elder.
![Page 73: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Unfortunately she keeps getting distracted by vomiting.
![Page 74: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Not that this bothers me, just means more toilets for Long to clean.
![Page 75: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Despite my torturing him with cleaning, he gives me such fulfillable wants. Like eat a
sandwich. Which did you know that spoiled food totally counts toward fulfilling this want?
It does.
![Page 76: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Unlike his father. If you wanted talk about your hobby, we wouldn’t be in this position! I
named him way too accurately.
![Page 77: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
“Mmmmm… Green sandwich! +500 points!”
![Page 78: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
And she got food poisoning. Oh well, more dirty toilets.
![Page 79: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
“I think I’m starting to lose my hair.”
No, that’s mine from watching you almost starve every day while I can’t control you.
![Page 80: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
“No one loves me!”
“Mmmm… Green hot dog…”
![Page 81: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
“Ewwww!!! Kissing parents are gross!”
![Page 82: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
“Despite the fauxhawk I am not a Fitzhugh. I do not like cleaning.”
![Page 83: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
I think it was with relief that he went to school. Or as I like to call it, the place that sucks
all of the fun out of life.
![Page 84: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Then Margaret heads off to work for the final promotion.
BTW walking to school is not restricted for children/teens or pregnant sims walking to
work. So that means that the car is totally useless at this point. This is the power of
Military.
![Page 85: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
In pre-celebration, I bought a photo booth.
It’s allowed. I combed the restrictions and even had RoseFyre double check. Not restricted.
Why would I add it? Well, a few reasons. Depending on interpretation, taking pictures with
it isn’t restricted, nor is hanging the pictures on the wall restricted. Sims will also take
pictures autonomously. Then there’s the real reason. Woohoo location. If you don’t want a
double bed and want to save space, buy a photobooth and try for a baby in there. I don’t
need it, but I wanted to point out the loophole.
![Page 86: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Where Ding promptly proved my point that sims will use it autonomously.
![Page 87: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
And she gets a chance card. Apparently resting her ankle was the right choice. Because
she is a Chief of Staff. And what was the first thing we bought?
![Page 88: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
A tub, of course.
“Totally worth it.”
![Page 89: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
“I have an A and I hate my mother. She’s in the tub and I want to play in it.”
![Page 90: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Margaret finally got enough cooking points to make hamburgers. This was necessary
considering her pregnancies.
![Page 91: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
“Mmm… Green Cereal…”
![Page 92: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Now able to actually not be a complete idiot anymore, Ding read all of the novels he
wrote. They were moderately horrid.
![Page 93: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
“I’m home and I hate my life!”
![Page 94: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
This slide isn’t here to show birthing. This slide is to point out the medicine cabinet. The thing that
shouldn’t have been restricted or at least only restricted once… Want to know why? It raises hygiene at
the same level as a sink and messy sims will Brush Teeth rather than sponge bathe. And did you know
that it is triple restricted – Medical, Intelligence, and Artist? It’s so powerful that it apparently Dates and
Outings are easier to get than a medicine cabinet. Just saying… We are not even talking about
It got sold as soon as I could after the birth (grayed out buy/build) which was when Annoying Ding used it.
![Page 95: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
So say hello to our newest Dong, Young. She’s a girl with her mom’s hair and eyes and
freckled dark skin.
And say goodbye to the medicine cabinet. Maybe at the end of the challenge.
![Page 96: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Also as soon as I could after the birth, I got Margaret knocked up again.
![Page 97: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Long is creepy, that is all.
“I just know you are going to make my life hell, that is all.”
![Page 98: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Actually he did that himself. He’s now Popularity/Family with the want to graduate 3 kids.
Sorry Long, you aren’t breeding.
![Page 99: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Sometimes I regret letting these two breed.
![Page 100: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Welcome to another loophole. Tables. Dining Tables, End Tables, and Coffee Tables are
not restricted at all per Lowest rated. Desks are restricted. Tables aren’t. And the
bloody medicine cabinet is restricted 3 times.
![Page 101: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Apparently, hiding your game from the boss is a bad idea. As is bringing home Circe
Beaker.
![Page 102: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Long at least has the right idea and is embracing his role as the new friend maker.
![Page 103: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
And just in time too, since Ding is sent off to the corner of the lot to amuse himself until
6pm.
![Page 104: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
“And I will call you George and you will love me!”
![Page 105: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
“Um, George, I feel a little weird.”
![Page 106: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
“And that would be why.”
“Ding, you suck. Time to die.”
![Page 107: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
“But I haven’t frozen yet and where’s my tiki drink!”
“Entertainment isn’t lifted. No Drinks until then.”
“Lei?”
“Natural Science.”
“Apocs suck.”
![Page 108: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
“Stop stalling and do the walk of shame.”
![Page 109: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
So goodbye, Ding. We will miss you. Or not. I know I won’t. The fact that your family
didn’t even notice, well, that says something.
![Page 110: Ding Dong Adult Start Apo](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103109/544f9e6baf7959e1108b5946/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
So those are the first two lifts. Along with a lot of loopholes, tricks, and observation.
See you next time, or not, at this point it is pretty much standard Apocing from here.
However if you want more snark, observations, and tricks I’ve learned per lift. Let me
know.
Until whenever I publish something, happy simming!
