@CyyKosis whoa that's so cool of you to do that ^^

Hey all! I haven't played in a good long while but decided I missed the sims 3 and started another random legacy since I can't get to my old saves yet. I had a question I rolled 'Hands off' but my sim is a freelance scientist so the only way to make money is selling space rocks and insects and i can't sell those at the consignment so what should I do? I know she could Hack as well but believe it or not i got the with help roll and the secondary career is also freelance scientist so i have her brother as the hacker. I could re-roll but I'd rather not use my one Re-roll on the first generation.

You can donate bugs at the science building for money. Not sure if there is anything like that for rocks though. . .

Thank you so much for the update!

I always strike hands off from my list of possible rolls, because it would drive me insane, so I don't have any experience with such situations, therefore I don't have a workaround... so! When you insinuate that there is no workaround, I'm inclined to believe you. That would mean hands off is completely incompatible with your careers.

Reroll for misc fun without "spending" your free reroll.

Thanks so far I haven’t seen anything like that for the rocks and right now my game isn’t spawning many bugs. She’s caught one set of butterflies and that’s it. This generation is destined to be poor it seems. At least gen 2 has a decent roll 🤷🏻‍♀️

I may have to do that. I rolled hands off for gen 2 as well I may have to strike it out also because it’s incredibly annoying!

Hi!

I don't think hands off is the same as not being able to use your sim's inventory? The collect interaction would pick items up, and if you want something displayed in the home you'll have to drag it out of inventory, so I don't see why you can't drag it from the inventory to recollect it, or even to sell it if there's no other way. I think of hands off as being more or a chore-oriented challenge, where the sims have to fix the broken sink before they can do the dirty dishes, and you can't just drag the dishes to the trash or delete them. Using a similar example, if your sim is in the culinary career track they get that annoying 'bring dishes home to wash' opportunity, you can't just leave the dirty dishes in their inventory and let them have a 'disgusted' moodlet for the rest of their lives. If I'm even understanding you question right.

But it's funny you bring this up, because the update I'm working on now made me realize that my freelance scientist sim has a horrible personality for bug catching and if I roll it again I'll probably choose something else for them to study even if it makes them less money (because I want their personality to drive their work or vice versa). But that's a side topic. I guess what I'm saying is, if you have to tweak something so you can play the challenge and still have it be random but you have some actual fun playing the generation, you should think about doing it. I'm not going to strike anything off my potential rolls because I want to see what other things it's randomly paired with, so even if I rolled hands off and it sounds horrible, I might treat all the extra housework as a part of the sims personality and make them neat, a slob, or a perfectionist or something for the sake of the story.

A Silverly update!

1.18 Not-Mama

Well I thought about just selling them from the inventory but I wasn’t sure if that was too cheaty. So I just re-rolled the misc fun and got my precious. I am keeping the hands off for gen 2 though. I also like my sim to have some trait that compliments their job! I’m hoping not to get random traits anytime soon though at the same time it could be a fun challenge.

My first chapter. Not great but its a start. Hopefully I get back in the swing of this soon

Chapter 1.1

I agree to just kinda like I dunno, ignoring hands off if it likes, contradicts

I have a personal gripe with the misc fun rolls where I've gotten rid of most of them that I will forget xD I'm too busy to remember to make my sims fight with people weekly! My sims are busy pixels!
(i'm sorry i'm tired and wanted to chat lmao)

Oh man I dread any misc fun where I have to remember to do something once a week I always forget!

Yeah, I think I've personally stricken off anything with tight time deadlines, like I never keep track of days really when I'm playing, so it's just confusing for me xD

Update!: Chapter 4.09 Three Sisters in which the kind of issues from last time are kind of resolved ^-^

Lol I don't ever keep track of time either. I leave them in because I think it could be a fun challenge for me but we'll see when we get there! LOL

Another Chapter up: Chapter 1.2

Another chapter up! Chapter 1.3

Also I am super excited I found my hard drive and recovered one of my old legacy's! It did end up being a save that was a few sim days behind where I was but it wasn't too bad I only lost like 3 days. I did however completely lose a sim from the town. He was a townie and apparently just didn't exist anymore. Being he was my heirs love interest I had to remake him which sucks but oh well. I'm just glad I had the save at all. So because I love multitasking I will soon start updating my Groves Legacy again! Though I'm not sure anyone has read it. :shrug: Sadly my other legacy wasn't on the hard drive which really bums me out. I wanted those sims! I'm hoping its on another one somewhere.

I'm glad you were able to save one of your legacies, itzall4ucupcake!
