The Danger Family Apocalypse, Ch. 6 (Generation 2)
Sam the T-man:
I know what you mean about them getting rich too quick, especially when they start winning big chance cards. This is the first time I've done something like this though, so I need to start small ;) Found enough ways to spice it up though ;)
Have they updated the rules on there then? *goes to look*
zombiekim:
I know what you mean about starting small...the only way I know the apocalypse rules is that I've tried and given up so many times, I've memorized them, haha.
Just to make life easier for those of you who aren't as familiar with Pinstar's apocalypse challenge, I thought I'd post a very summarized version here. Unfortunately they haven't updated it for FreeTime's new careers, so I had to make my own rules for it. Anyway, these are just the main restrictions that reaching the top of a career will unlock (each sim can only unlock one set of restrictions). The actual challenge has a lot more little rules, and cool "flavor text" backstory for each career.
I'll update these each time one of the Danger sims lifts a restriction.
Business: no selling anything except build mode stuff; no starting a business; no hiring service sims or calling headmaster.
Law Enforcement: no alarms; no "emergency" calls on phone; no teens or elders leaving house without 10 in body skills.
Medical: no medicine; no showers/tubs; must always "Try for Baby."
Culinary: only prepare one meal per sim day per household; may not inventory food; only cheapest barbecue grill may be used (and fridge). (Pinstar has also said that gelatin is cheating, because it stays fresh too long.) COMPLETED BY GEORGE SHWEBER
Life of Crime: there are 3 different ways to pay "protection money." The one I follow means replacing your fridge each Monday (for food) and paying $200 more each week, so week one is $200, week two is $400, etc.
Military: no going to community lots; only invite over sims you love or, if you have a car, are best friends with; no moving out.
Athletic: any item bigger than one square may not be moved or inventoried once it has been placed; no more than 3 items in inventory.
Slacker: no vacation days; no missing work; no ignore chance cards; no going back to old jobs.
Science: no electronics but one computer, one phone, cheapest stereo; computer may only be used to "Write Term Paper" and "Write Novel."
Politics: may only build/place items in an 8x8 area on the lot.
Artist: no art may be bought; no creativity skilling items except for "Write Novel" on computer.
Paranormal: no moving graves/urns; no Resurrecting; no plead with Reaper.
Natural Science: no landscaping items or plants; house must be on foundation or pillars.
Show Business: no change appearance; no dressers may be bought; no dates, parties, or outings. COMPLETED BY ANSLY DANGER (because I hate ugly/weird-looking apocalypse sims)
Music: weather must be winter/winter/winter/winter; everything must be covered by roof (although Pinstar said in a podcast that cars can be placed outside because they're sturdy).
Education: teens can't go to school or college.
Adventure: career rewards may not be used.
Gamer: phone can only be used between noon and midnight on Tuesdays. Once Gamer is lifted, you can use the computer to find jobs.
Journalism: only select first job in the newspaper, not second or third (computer not restricted for finding jobs, if science and gamer are lifted).
Law: slacker, politics, and law enforcement can't be permanently lifted until law is completed. I'm ignoring this rule because I hate it.
Alien Technology: no aspiration rewards unless a sim is abducted by aliens, or a "Top Secret Researcher" or "Mad Scientist" goes to work with a satellite in inventory.
My additional rules for FreeTime:
Oceanography: no bodies of water; no tubs; no primary-aspiration-related perks.
Dance: no dancing; no ballet barre; no secondary aspirations.
Architecture (I used the rules from one of Pinstar's Legacy Challenge Handicaps, so this is his idea, not mine): only construct two of each type of build item per day, like two windows, two carpet squares, and two wallpaper sections per day. Ignore on first day to set up house.
Intelligence: no work perks.
Entertainment: no needs perks; no freestyling.
Okay, now I'm obviously a major dork. :D But hopefully this helps.

Hey everyone--I made a typo in the previous chapter, about the third son's name. Ansly and George have four kids: Rosalind, Beckett, Sacha (not Asher), and Portia. Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Run! Teenagers!
“Do you ever wish you’d taken that train ticket, with Natasha?”
“Natasha? Who’s—oh, I didn’t even remember her name,” George laughed. “No, I don’t wish that, and I never have. She was unhinged. And she had bizarre grooming habits.”
“Oh, you know what I mean. Do you wish you hadn’t stayed?”
“If I hadn’t stayed, I never would have been responsible for bringing bouillabaisse to a nuclear fallout zone.”
“George—“
“Hush, you."
“Hey, Butt Face!” Rosalind shouted from right behind Beckett.
“Ahh! What do you want, Rollie-Pollie?” Since he’d grown taller than her, the threat of noogies had subsided somewhat.
“How come you’re always reading those stupid sci-fi books?”
“How come your face is so ugly?”
“You’re one to talk. Come on, how come?”
“Because…they’re kind of like us. Living beyond the reaches of civilization, boldly going where no man has gone before. Plus, you know—you know I like houses, and I like drawing. And these people, they live on starships, in glass castles, in all these amazing places.” He sighed. “I want to build a nicer house for us."
“Yeah, well, all I want is to be a doctor. Help people, restore the sanitation department—“
“I don’t think that’s a good idea," Beckett said.
“Why not?”
“Because as much as I love your B.O., I really don't want to see how ugly you are under all that dirt!”
“Hey, Sacha! Guess what?”
“What?”
“I’m going to be sooo pretty when I grow up, I’m going to be president, and everybody’s going to love me," Portia said.
“There’s no such thing as president.”
“Yeah, but there used to be! I’m going to be president because I’m the prettiest one.”
“Oh, yeah, well, well," Sacha stuttered, "I’m going to get married, and have babies. And maybe be Superman.”
“Okay. I love you! Goodnight!”
“Night!”
But everyday life is not about big plans--and with that, here is a day in the life of the Danger family:
“Excuse me. You seem to be blocking my brother from getting off of the school bus.”
“Yeah! Dance it! Ugh! Oh yeah!”
“You seem to have fallout madness, little girl. I’m sorry, but I have no pity.”
“Shake it! Smustle! Woo!”
Rosalind delighted in being both a protective sister and a bully.
"Ow, ow, I hate you!"
"Yeah, well, I hate smustling."
Meanwhile, Dad checked out his stove.
“You’re filthy, you take up too much room, and you start fires. I hate you. I think that a man of my culinary stature should have something better. Something like…
“This! Yes! This is what I’m talking about!” I can just see it now. The sun-soaked beaches. Bikini-clad babes. “Oh, sir, your stove is so amazing. Won’t you please show me how you cook on it? I’m getting all hot just thinking about the way you dice and chop and simmer…I think I have to take my tiny bikini off!”
“Daddy? Are you okay?”
Not really, Sacha. Not really.
And Beckett, the Nerd, began to morph into Beckett, the Ladies’ Man. Or maybe not?
“So, I don’t know if you know this, but we have food to eat here. And blankets.”
“Teehee!”
“I know, most people don’t. Maybe I could show you our running water and flush toilets, eh? Eh?”
“Teehee!”
Rosalind laughed to herself. I wonder if little brother realizes he’s hitting on a man.
