Well, after having progressed halfway through the Ultimate Sim (personal game), I really wanted a challenge that would allow me to work on all of the Lifetime Wishes in the Sims 3. Fortunately, there was already a challenge ready to take care of that - the Going Solo Challenge.
I started playing about 3 days ago and did not even think that I might post this to YouTube or create a blog. Still, as my first generation was aging up and winding things up, it made me think that once this sim was gone, I would no longer have anything to remember or look back on.
Rather than start over (since I had put ALOT of work into his life), I decided to just pick up the story where it is at this point as we are now raising generation 2. Chapter 1 will serve as the overview of my founder and hopefully catch you up on where I am in the challenge.
UPDATE: Well, it looks like I needed to restart after all. The Story Progression that is in the game turned my town into a ghost town and it was just not enjoyable to play with no other sims in the neighborhood. Plus, after reading a few other blogs, I just felt that it would be better to start over from scratch.
Hope that you come along for this - it's been alot of fun so far!
