| Playing Sims is fun but right now I am bored with my current saves. I want to play a challenge but not sure which one. So I have decided to do a different kind of Challenge Mash-up using ideas from different ones I like to play. In no particular order I will be using ideas from @Buttonsginger Highlander Crest with Missions from Bring Me To Life plus bits and pieces from others as well. Oh and most likely a bit of Rosebud Challenge thrown in for extra flavor. Challenge links below. Introduction: Following will be the random accounts of Manny and the Mysterious Happenstance. Manny grew up in a family of educators. His Mother and Grandmother and Great Grandfather had been teachers of one sort or another. As a matter of fact there had always been Teachers, Tutors and Mentors for as far back as the family line could be traced. Manny was an only child and therefore was expected to carry forward the tradition. It wasn't that he did not like school or teaching. He just found himself feeling ... stuck. He wanted to be free to go off on an adventure and not have to wait to finish the next lesson plan or grade another stack of papers. Oh how he wished he could just escape to another life. Best be careful what you wish ... it may come true in unexpected ways. - Spoiler:

Disclaimer: This is just a story and not a negative comment on teachers. I have a great deal of respect for those who choose to teach. I liked school .. most of the time and have fond memories of some of my favorite teachers.

| Manny by EQAlong came a Man ... a man with a plan. Or rather a "Manny" who actually had very few plans. All he wanted was to escape his humdrum life as a 5th grade teacher and finally LIVE! Original by #EQCreations #RosebudChallenge #HighlanderCrest #ChallengeMashup #Single #YA #BringMeToLife

| I blew it! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ After setting my YA Sim up on an empty lot with Zero Simoleons I was going to play and gain a few skills advance in a career etc etc before settling down with a spouse. At one point I had enough points so I bought a Youth Potion with about 8 days until Adult birthday. So far so good ... yes? Well that was when it all went awry. Somehow I missed the announcement that it was almost birthday time. Sim just got home from work and doing a few chores when .... *POOF* the birthday just happened... *FacePalm* Lucky he was still living on the lawn and had only limited belongings. *S*I*G*H* |

| No worries ... Manny has a plan heh heh heh Per the Highlander rules - Quote :
- *If you miss drinking the potion before the adult birthday:
1. You must move your household to an empty lot (when moving tick the button to sell furniture). 2. Sell all of your personal inventory items for each household member. 3. Then use money cheats to reduce the household funds to zero simoleons. This is the penalty for forgetting to drink your concoction.
The lot had no buildings yet so no great loss there. He did object to losing his career rewards so he negotiated to keep his home Chemistry Lab (Science Career) and his trust Sim Ray {pew pew pew}. Everything else was sold and money reduced to Zero. |

| The next step of the plan involved a little finagling and a lot of expertise on Manny's part. He worked diligently at his Science Career to gain as many breakthroughs as possible. He kept upgrading his trusty Sim Ray whenever possible, invented a Satellite Dish and finally invented a Cloning Machine. After many days and nights of long hard work he was able to update the machine to Clone a Sim! And he had the perfect one in mind. Who would he Clone?  |

Have a Sim in the Science Career create a Clone using the Cloning Machine Fun Fact: A Clone created in this manner will have all of the gained traits but none of the skills of the original Sim. Gained traits are ones added by completing aspirations or being purchased using satisfaction points.
In case you have not guessed Manny decided to clone himself. Step 1: Build a Cloning Machine |

| As I said in a previous post: - Quote :

The game creates a replica (clone) of the Sim and assigns a name to them. The new Sim automatically becomes a part of your household.The picture below illustrates how the Clone inherits the gained traits. I had taken them to the Romance Festival and the game then assigned the Jealous trait to Emory. I used CAS.fulleditmode code to add Art Lover and Vegetarian. The rest of the traits mirror the ones earned by Manny. |

| Interesting story. So Manny struck back on fate for missing his birthday  Now the world has to deal with two of his kind. I never had a Sim clone himself. Once when I was bored with my saves, I created a game where one Sim has to complete all the collections. that game is set on no aging, because there are long weeks in between me playing that save. |

| Thank you for following my random rambling Have I mentioned how much I  LOVE  the Science Career? The SimRay is the very first invention created. The basic power is to Freeze another Sim or extinguish fires is fantastic. Freezing stalker Sims or annoying Sims or Sims you just do not like cn be very handy!  Mwahahahaha A simple upgrade and it can then Transform items. Those lovely MySim dolls and a lot of other items can be converted from something much more valuable. The conversions are random so they are always a surprise. These chairs and other items were created via transformation. Manny also got a Slablet worth 1K from a 10 Simoleon item. Caution: Fire can happen |
