The Making Of...

Jan Wellington is a Sim currently in my Generations Challenge. Since the OFB Challenge was pretty much created for the Queen of OFB, JavaJan, I decided my Jan character would be the perfect Sim to head this challenge. Jan had already completed what I needed her to in my Generations challenge, so we moved her out to her own lot.
She walks to the taxi eager to start her own Challenge. Poor thing has no idea what's in store for her!
Before I can release the challenge to our group, I first have to get some Sims mad at Jan. I found out, if you constantly ask Sims who just came to do a little shopping and don't have a good relationship score, to work for you, it ticks them off. Notice the reporter there? Yeah, we didn't get a very good review, lol.


While Jan is busy annoying the reporter, the last customer left in the shop decides he's had it. He throws down his bags and walks out. By this time the business was ranked at a -3. Unfortunately, when the lot was packaged and uploaded, the business had to be reopened and started at rank 0.


One of the final touches was to get Jan bit by the leader of the pack. *giggles* There are no phones allowed in the challenge and the Sim isn't allowed to leave the lot, so by the time other players see her turn to a werewolf, the matchmaker will have been and gone. It's really too bad I can't program little pop-ups and surprises like Maxis can, I would've loved to have her bit by a vampire AFTER the others started playing.
