Finally finished this challenge. The career objective gave me some trouble. Also, Uncle Chovie was busy playing Dadday-at-Home with his new wify. They had twins: Niece and Nephew.

The target sim is Ann Chovie.
Like mentioned before, I don’t like playing younger sims a lot. Maybe it’s cause I’m an adult, and I feel the chilluns have so much home work and not enough time to play. I remember endless summers with friends at the pool, in the ‘woods’, in the parks; chilly winters on our bikes, paying Monopoly: Can’t remember doing that much homework.
That said, I was a bit hesitant to play this challenge since Anne has to age to adult. I swallowed my pride and clicked anyway – I had plans for her you see. I played her as a teen for a few days, just to get her grades up, have a crush, first kiss and get a few scholarships towards Uni. I haven’t played a big Uni dorm since I upgraded my RAM, so I moved her into a 16-room dorm. Technocide (killing of technology / computer) if I had tried it before the upgrade. The game ran quite smoothly. I got her to major in Philosophy and max out her cleaning and cooking skills with Monique’s hacked computer. This means that it still took time to gain the skills, but at least she got paid for writing the articles. Then she banked the money. For some funny reason her LTW is to own 5 top level businesses.
She made many friends, influenced a lot of people, and sweet talked her professors. For a whole year she didn’t attend class once, just went to write the exams. In her final year I got bored; she maxed out what she had to and it was time to get started on her career.
Anne moved back in with Uncle. The game gave her the fugliest default adult outfit. She started working as a prep chef, made the wrong soup and got fired on the first day (chance card). She got the job again, but now has 2 days off. Meanwhile Uncle got married to Lucy the maid, and they are now pregnant. Lucy keeps on eating cheesecake. I hope she has twins!
All I have left to do now is get Ann to the top of the Culinary Career.
