2. Welcome back to the Iron Apocalypse. It’s hell on SimEarth, but at least I get a break from the main house for a
while with Atticus in college.
3. Atticus: A math major? But there’s no one else in the program- how will I make friends?
Oh, Atticus… no one wants to be your friend. Just be a good boy and I’ll let you lift your lifetime want.
4. Atticus: This is really lonely.
Well, since you aren’t the heir, I don’t want to risk having you get dragged off to the LFT Society where everyone is
breaking rules. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy.
5. Veronica: Aunty Rose is being super mean to mom, Atticus. If you were here, you wouldn’t believe it. They started
poking each other and everything.
Atticus: My only friend is my kid sister… great.
6. Atticus: So all I can do is sit in the corner and wait for my degree? Can I meditate?
Not until dance is lifted. Also, I broke an Architecture restriction with the graveyard having all its walls.
7. At least this little Fortune sim is happy making money each semester.
Atticus: I have 10 nice points; people should love me!
11. On the plus side, he was here long enough that I got three rooms completely made over under the Architecture
restriction.
Atticus: Please just let me go home.
12. Well, he graduated Summa Cum Laude and didn’t get dragged off to the LFT Society. I consider that a small win.
14. Edna: Edna feel the logistics of another child not good for family.
15. Veronica: Why do I have to study all this junk?
Darius: If you don’t max out the body skill before Tuesday, you can’t go to college and you’ll be an entire cycle
behind. Just get through it.
16. Zach’s toddler birthday! Ugly kid. Edna’s DNA really did a number on this family.
Edna: Edna can die again. Edna haunt you all like Andrea. That what you want?
17. Jim: Oh good, you know about objects that we’ve never had in this household.
I keep forgetting to use highchairs in all my households because I also rarely use dining rooms.
18. Darius: Until a new kid is born, you’re the heir. That means I need to stick by you for screentime.
19. Well, I guess this officially means that Zach is demoted to spare. Generation 5 is about to blast through a good
segment of this challenge.
20. Matilda: See this? This means you’re only good for lifting a career now.
Zach: Goo?
Matilda: Maybe you’ll be an Athlete. That would be a good lift to do alongside your siblings.
21. Matilda: Look over there?
Edna: Hmm? Bad Matilda! Edna think you too mean to babies… Edna think you need be nicer.
22. Matilda: Yeah, well, Matilda thinks you need to move out.
Edna: Edna can’t.
Matilda: I thought you lifted Science.
Edna: That no mean Edna can use computer. Gamer and Journalism still locked.
23. Matilda: Stupid Apocalypse challenge rules…
Veronica: You okay, mom?
Matilda: Do me a favor and lift something decent. This house is getting too cramped for all of us.
24. I don’t know what happened to you, Matilda. You used to be such a nice heiress.
Matilda: I’ve always had one nice point. It just so happened that nice point reached it’s limit.
25. Well, maybe you’ll be nicer with a new baby around. This is Ashleigh Irons. She’s a Taurus (9/4/9/10/3). I was
worried that, due to her skin, eyes, and hair, she would be a clone of Veronica. Not that Veronica isn’t a great sim
to play, but I am liking the variety.
27. Well, it looks like three sims will be going to college in the next batch. Veronica grew into a teenager and rolled
Popularity. She wants to be a Celebrity Chef, but that career has been lifted. She likes blond hair and glasses and
doesn’t like full-face makeup.
Veronica: I’m seriously your easiest sim to play this generation. Are you sure you don’t want to make me the heir?
I need to maximize baby factory time.
28. Growing up alongside her is Zach, the former heir for the generation.
Zach: That isn’t fair- I have more genetic variety than all these other sims.
29. Rose: Excuse me, but can one of you take over. I need the toilet.
Everyone else: …
Rose: Jerks.
30. Yeah, the family is running pretty smoothly. With only one ghost to worry about (who is stuck outside), things here
are actually great for once. Crowded, but great.
31. Rose: Great? Things around here are awful for me. I hate my sister because she gets away with being a jerk to
everyone. Not to mention I should have been the heir. If Ashleigh is the heir because she’s the youngest, why
couldn’t I take over the minute I was born?
Because I was already working on generation 5 when you were born. Just be grateful I remembered Edna was
pregnant so you could live.
34. Edna: Edna so close to lifetime want. You make clone of yourself, make Edna happy?
35. Edna: Edna scientist! Edna make clone now!
No Edna will not make a clone now. We don’t have the room.
36. Well look who decided to continue the trend of my generation 5 girls making good fashion choices! Ashleigh is
adorable. Like, if the exchange were still a thing, I would upload her.
38. Darius: You are one hot spare. You are going to grow into a ridiculous outfit in college, but you will make it look
good.
39. Zach: Wh-
Darius: You have to study the body skill to be able to go to college. No more questions.
40. Well, now it’s Tuesday evening and it’s time to send the three teenagers away to college. I used the neighbourhood
tool so they could remain a household and wouldn’t interfere with the Criminal restriction.
41. This also meant that Atticus was coming home. Every Tuesday- the only day that makes sense for all the college
nonsense.
49. Jim: I heard you were bullying your older brother.
Ashleigh: Which one?
Jim: You know which. On the one hand, you need to stop. He’s sensitive. On the other hand, it was funny.
50. Zach: So Grandpa said to be nice to me?
Ashleigh: You don’t need to listen to everything everyone says to you, Zach. You can make up your own mind.
51. These sleeping arrangements are not going to work long term. I need another fire to clear out the older
generation.
52. Ashleigh: You promise we’ll get a fire.
I wasn’t serious.
Ashleigh: Not even a little one?
53. Oh look, it’s Garrett.
Garrett: Let me upstairs so I can haunt everyone.
No. Your generation was surrounded by death. Not having history repeat itself.
54. Zach: You should move that piece there.
Atticus: You really aren’t great at this game.
55. Zach grew up into a teenager. He rolled Pleasure and wants 50 Dream Dates. He likes fatness and custom hair and
doesn’t like black hair.
Glad you are not the heir. Unless Ashleigh rolls the same.
56. Zach: Let me move that piece for you.
Atticus: Zach, stop.
57. Atticus has now reached the top of the Architecture career. No more 2 pieces of build mode per day!
59. Well, if you feel that way, just move to college. Oh wait, you are.
60. That’s all I have for now. Next time, I have 3 sims to get through college before they move in and then another to
do after that. We’re looking at 3 more lifts in the next update so stay tuned.
61. So to recap:
Lifted: Hopelessness, Education (Paul), Adventure (Andrea), Medicine (Cassandra), Military (Warren), Pet Show Biz
(Balin), Culinary (Timothy), Law (Garrett), Pet Service (Sake), Paranormal (Matilda), Business (Jim), Science (Edna),
Architecture (Atticus)
Prospective: Gamer (Rose), Intelligence (Darius), Politics (Veronica), Athletic (Zach), Journalism (Ashleigh)
Not Assigned: Criminal, Law Enforcement, Slacker, Natural Science, Artist, Show Business, Pet Security, Music,
Oceanography, Entertainment, Dance, Alien Technology
This is the prospectus so far for the next step of the challenge. Everything subject to change based on what careers
are available in the newspaper and whether or not my sims live lmao
