Blog Artist

All Darren Anthony wanted to do with his life was become a Blog Artist.  And the last born of Isabelle and Wade completed this wish at a ripe old age.  I must say this lifetime wish was far more difficult than the other lifetime wishes up until this point.  The career lifetime wishes are very straightforward, but I had a little trouble figuring this one out.

As a Blog Artist, Darren had to max out his skill in social networking and reach a 5-star blog.  Maxing out his skill was easy peasy.  However, at first I didn't understand how to get more people following the blog.  There are moodlets that come up pertaining to blogging, and if your Sim blogs within the time frame, you will get a higher rated blog post and more followers.  Well, I don't know if there was a glitch (after all, it's the Sims 3) but the moodlet seemed to show up at the most random times and it always said, Gotta Blog About Self-Improvement Tips (from completing promised wish).  Anyway, I made posts everyday with or without the moodlet, and it seemed to take FOREVER to get the blog followers up to 2,000.  I was playing with a very full household too, so this may be where part of my frustration is coming from.

I hated that Sim's lifetime wish so much, and hated playing him in general, that I totally forgot to take a snapshot of him before he died.  Oh well.

Murdock-Anthony Family Tree from Elizabeth Anthony's point of view

Now, Darren did marry and have a child.  In fact, though he is the youngest, he was the first of his brothers to have a child.  He married Daisy Swizzle and just before she turned into an elder, they had a daughter, Elizabeth.  Daisy was a bit older than Darren and died of old age while he was still an adult.
