- 115 total households over the course of the challenge to date
- 92 households still in play
- 466 individual, unique Sims playable at some point in the challenge (adopted or resurrected Sims count only once, as you would expect)
- 27 community lots placed
- 2 business districts
- current multiplier: 17 for an effective population of 7155
- new Sims to create: 3
So, the newest Sim in town: Mairi MacIntyre, named for a real-life woman born about 1777 on the island of Uist, Scotland. I rolled to have two Sims in the household, so then I rolled 1 to 5 to see what age the second would be, and then when it was another adult, I rolled again for spouse or sibling... after all that she ends up having a spouse, who I will call Murdo.
I don't bother randomly generating a bunch of stuff about the new Sims - only the things the game won't randomly do for me. I use the dice icon to roll a random Sim, change the gender if necessary, and only reject and re-roll if they are too annoying (e.g. I don't like white Sims with dreads and there are certain combinations of shirts and pants that drive me crazy) or look too much like someone already in town. Then I roll from 7 to 30 to find out how many starting Simoleons they will have (in thousands), then again from 7 to whatever they have to figure out how much to spend on a house or apartment.
The singleton will be Lutheria Lake, based on a real-life Lutheria Prudence Lake, born 1816 in Chautauqua, New York. Lest you think these people I mention are all direct ancestors of mine, let me clarify that she is the 3rd great-grandmother of the wife of the step-grandson of my 4th cousin. Yup, that's a thing.
