Firefighter Super Hero

Fawn Snow's next LTW is another profession.  That of a firefighter.  This is another profession which I get almost done with then my interest wanes (very similar to the stylist).  The traits I picked are Brave, Daredevil, Good, Athletic and Handy.  I'll need brave to trigger the wish and then athletic and handy to gain skills, good because firefighters are good people, and daredevil because they fear fire less and don't mind running into the middle of one (and it gives them good moodlets)

Fashion Phenomenon

From the Emperor of Evil to battling crimes of fashion, Fawn Snow changes to a Fashion Phenomenon. I chose required traits Charismatic and Snob and three others - Artistic, Friendly and Good.  I've never played this one to the end and I find professions a bit of a struggle, so we'll see how it goes, hopefully not terribly.

Here is fashionable Fawn Snow -


On week 23, day 2 I finished this wish.  13 days total and none too soon.  I struggled with this a bit, getting jobs to make over people and them not being home when I went there was really annoying. If you are going to hire a fashion consultant, at least have the decency to be home!  I do really like the art work the drafting table gives you (for the "fashion concepts") and really worth buying one of these tables just for that!




Next wish - Firefighter Super Hero

Emperor of Evil

 Once more back in Riverview (after tripping off to Bridgeport for a bit) Fawn moves on to the next LTW - the Emperor of Evil.  The traits are obvious; Evil, Mean Spirited, Insane, also Ambitious.  My fifth trait will be Workaholic, to get promotions easier and work at home.

This is the second part of the criminal career path (the first being Master Thief, which I've already completed).  I suspect that I will start higher up in the career (rather than level one) because of my previous experience, but we'll see how the game works (after so many careers and LTW in between the two criminal careers, it might not work out for me.)

So here is Fawn Snow as the Emperor of Evil (I wish I had a cloak for her to wear... that'd be awesome) -


The Emperor of Evil took 9 days total, I was able to jump back into the criminal career at level 5 (thanks to being a thief earlier) It shouldn't have taken this long but I was having glitches with the criminal warehouse, as well as being promoted up and having the next day off work (I seem to spend more time off work with days off than I did going to work!!) 




Next wish - Fashion phenomenon!  (OMG! Are you seriously wearing that?!)

Distinguished Director

This life time wish will see me obviously using a mod to travel to Bridgeport as a vacation to use the film studio to complete my career.  With twallan's traveler mod I am able to travel to Bridgeport, and treat it not as a vacation until I'm ready to come home.  Meanwhile my home (back in Riverview) will wait for me until I return!

I've never done this career before since my film studios have been glitched in the past, I hope (many patches later) the problem has been fixed!  For this career I'm choosing the traits Ambitious, Bookworm, Computer Whiz, Star Quality, Workaholic.  I want to work hard, but also need the writing skill so bookworm and computer whiz will help with that!

This is Fawn as a director -


22 Days after I start, through much hassle, errors, glitches and hair pulling, I finally get this career finished.  Twallan's traveler mod didn't work the way I thought it did, so a special request to twallan helped me with the issue.  But I was rewarded with lots of fun stuff from being a celebrity as well as getting some awards for being 'top director' etc.  I'm not sure if this was a fun career... the hassle I went through to make it work was almost too much!



Next.... the Emperor of Evil.  
MWUHAHAHHAA.......

Descendant of Da Vinci

The lifetime wish requires you to max out sculpting, inventing and painting.  So naturally I chose Savvy Sculptor, Eccentric and Artistic traits, I also chose Born Saleswoman and Loner (since Fawn will be selling her stuff, and spending a lot of time alone).  This might take me longer than other wishes thus far since I can't just sit at the library and read to max out 3 skills, I actually have to do the work.  So Fawn will be living, breathing art until she's done!

Fawn as a DaVinci descendant -



Week 20 Day 1 saw me finish my sculpting skill which was the final skill I needed to complete this wish.   14 days it took to finish all three skills and it wasn't half bad (though I did do a huge break from playing this game to do other challenges and real life issues... so I assume it was not to bad!)


Next stop - (using twallan's traveler mod) Bridgeport and Distinguished Directors career!

Culinary Librarian

This should be a fast wish to finish since I learnt almost all the recipes when I was working on my Five-Star Chef lifetime wish.  The traits I assigned were Natural Cook and Vegetarian.  I also gave Fawn Bookworm (to read recipes quickly), Couch Potato (to sit around watching the cooking channel) and Good (just because.)

Fawn as a Culinary Librarian -


Hahahah.... and apparently I knew all the recipes required since I achieved my life time wish immediately.  So on Week 18, Day 1 (1 day total) I was done (would have been sooner except fawn went to a party which pushed her over a day).   That was easy.   Nothing more to say about that.


Next lifetime wish ...  Descendant of Da Vinci

Chess Legend

Playing chess is something my sims always do, but usually for careers, never for the Chess Legend LTW.  I've never played this one and I'm interested in seeing how it works.  Because of not need Logic skill until now my Sim doesn't actually know it at all, so will have to spend time skilling up before attempting the ranked chess matches.  I think the hardest will be getting people to come over for me to play with, since they will be all at work! Carl's guide suggests being a Computer Whiz, Couch Potato and of course a Genius.  I also chose Friendly and Lucky (hoping Lucky will let me win more games than not, honestly I don't think Lucky really does anything!)

Here is chess master Fawn ready to start her wish (ok... I had a lot of fun with her outfit)  -


This was an interesting life time wish to complete, had its ups and downs.  Inviting people over and them bring 'too busy' to come over was annoying, but in general it worked fairly smoothly.  I did reached grand master rank in chess before I reached level 10 in logic, I thought it would be the other way around.  But on Week 17, Day 7 (9 days total) I finished this wish.


My next goal.... Culinary Librarian.
