ok so for me this is more of a goal and the goal would be to see how many generations your can get through and how prosperous your sims get through the years. try blogging your progress

ok so first off i'd like to state that this will be really long and hard to get through. For those not interested in slow challenges then this one will not be for you.

This challenge is played by using each sim day to equal one day this will go on for years until you decide to quit. The seasons change every three months. this can be done using hacks that control the weather and i use monique's aging individually mod.
* you must make birthdays up for the people in the town you first create after that the birthdays will come naturally.
* i use custom schools for my sims that i build for child, teens, toddlers. create challenges for projects for them to do at home and in school asses wether they complete that or not and give them a grade change. Also, send kids and teens to the defualt school every now and then.
*make a bank (bank set from pc sims), post office (using the parcel service from pc sims),police station jail( police download pc sims jail simlogical which is where i find the school stuff too), church (optional),hospital and visit other sims (mod from backalleysims), a petshop, a custom university ( i made a sub hood one using squinge mods and maty), make a medical clinic for check ups (include eye chart, chemistry kiosk, from pc sims and the medical kit from the hospital download), make buisnesses that are mostly npc run unless it is one of those lots that need a manager to start with in that case either have one playable sim run it or have a cas sim own those.
*only try to fufill thier wants don't try to impose your wants upon them unless you feel it absolutely necessary for where you want that sim to go in life i mostly use that rule wit romances
*not everybody will get married or have children
*make sure sims save some money every now and then try not to use motherlode after building your house if you must use loans for money they need and pay it back not everyone can be financially stable.
* try giving your sims personality keep them in character
*schedule community events like a potluck, meetings to decide on what to build next, do some fundraising for schools, have garage sales from time to time, put on concerts by some "celebrity sims you create" or have those celebrities schedule events about what they are famous for if possible, try new things like this (note if you have more ideas on that let me know)
* try not to cheat to much
*use squinges nursing mod for babies (optional)
* give sims there periods (optional)
* pregnancies last for nine months unless there is a "premature birth''
*take photos of your progression of the neighborhood and of your sims that way you can see how rewarding it is.
i'm still buidling my neighborhood currently from scratch but i'm having tons of fun with all these ideas so far.

Pc sims was a website that can be found on the sims 2 graveyard site under downloads there you will find the chemistry kiosk which is great if you want to build a pharmacy to compliment a hospital you can build yourself by using chris hatch's hospital mod at backalley sims which you do have to register for becuase it is an adult site. the school mods are at simlogical. the other bank downloads you can find are by monique. The downloads about nursing can be found by squinge. the period hack can be found by smonaff. the base hood uni tutorial and link to download can be found at lakesideheightsblogspot and by squinge. I use simblender also to pause pregnancies that way they can have babyshowers and stuff. Let me know how it goes for you :)

The only problem I see is if you have sims alive for too long their memories fill up from living too long and you can start seeing bugs, like the jump bug. Unless they fixed it at some point and I don't know about it?

i never knew that could happen in terms of memories although i do know that you can clear their memories. the sims 2.com also has a jump bug patch to fix that. Tell me if that fixes it.

well I never got that bug as I never let my sims live that long. I have all the ep's and latest patches so it's probably fixed then. Right now I'm testing out a challenge that I made before I post it then I'll try yours out. Thanks for the links btw.
