Build-n-Share Challenge #174 - Phoenix Rising
You open the package on your desk, carefully parting layers of snow-white tissue paper to find a framed copy of a feature article written about your firm and published in your beloved Dwell magazine. Nikolaj and Elin Dahl were so pleased with the job you did on their new home that they collaborated on the article, Nikolaj singing your praises and Elin showcasing some of your more recent builds in a full-color spread. Tucked inside is a small folded note card that reads, “Thank you for helping us find a little Hygge in a strange land. We are forever grateful. Wishing you the happiest of new years! Love, Elin and Nikolaj”
Rose startles you with a tap on your office door. “Your 10:30 is here already. She’s a little early. Should I send her in, or are you busy?”
“Oh!” you say, glancing at your watch. Nine-fifty-eight. She’s early indeed. “That’s fine, Rose. You can go ahead and send her in.” You hastily clear your desk, mentally picking out the perfect patch of wall upon which to hang your new gift.
A somewhat unkempt young woman enters your office, the proud jut of her chin at odds with her torn, stained jeans and tangle of chestnut hair. Are those bits of leaves in her hair? She sets down a worn knapsack and a tattered bed-roll before extending a red, wind-chapped hand to you. “I’m Tess. Tess...Barrett.” She says her last name hesitantly, and you wonder why for a moment when it hits you.
“Barrett? Any relation to Francis and Bitty Barrett of Bridgeport?” you say, thinking of the high society couple and their opulent waterfront villa just across the bay from downtown Bridgeport. At the mention of their names, the young woman’s eyes flash before she takes a deep breath.
“They are my parents. Or were.”
“Were? What happened, if you don’t mind my asking?”
“Well, as I’m sure you’re aware, my father is the head of the board at Sacred Spleen Memorial Hospital in Bridgeport. Ever since I was a little girl, he has groomed me to become a doctor like him, buying me medical textbooks and even a model skeleton for my 8th birthday in hopes that I would follow in his footsteps. Nevermind that I cannot stand the sight of blood. I have tried for years to make him understand that I will never be a doctor, but he just won’t listen. When I got my acceptance letter to the art school at Sims University, I hoped that he would finally let go and realize that I’m meant to be an artist rather than a surgeon. Instead, he went into a blind fury, declaring that the only way he would pay for my degree was if it was a medical degree. I pleaded with my mother to help me change his mind, but she was too busy with her bottles of expensive nectar to be of any use. So I told Francis in no uncertain terms would I ever go to medical school. And that’s when he disowned me.”
“Wow, I cannot…” you breathe, unable to complete the thought, mind reeling at this young woman’s story. “How long have you been on your own?”
“It’s been one year to the day since he threw me out with nothing but a backpack of clothes and the money I had in my wallet,” Tess says, her eyes flashing again.
“A year? Where have you been living since then?” you ask, flabbergasted.
“I haven’t really had a place of my own. I’ve slept on park benches, friends’ couches, and even in the library. I’ve showered and washed my clothes in the restroom at the community pool. I told myself I would spend a year trying to find ways to make money and save enough to buy myself a small place to live...maybe even finally go to college to earn my art degree. I have scraped together enough for a small home, and I’m hoping you can help me stretch every simoleon.”
“That’s just...incredible! Ms. Barrett, I would be honored to build your first home. My firm and I are very adept at using cost-saving techniques and maximizing our clients’ money. What is it that you’re looking for exactly?”
“I have already purchased a small 10x10 lot, so it’s going to be a tiny house. I need one bedroom, one bathroom, a functional kitchen/eating space, a living room, and somewhere to work on my art. I’m trying to build my portfolio to re-apply to Sims University in the fall, and maybe get a scholarship. Oh, and if there is any way to work in my own laundry area, that would be fantastic!”
“I can have it ready for you in one month’s time. Does that work for you?”
“It does. Thank you for your help. I will be in touch.” Tess shakes your hand again, hoists her meager belongings onto her back, and strides out of your office with her head held high.
The Brief:
This is an unusual challenge to kick off the new year. You must make Tess Barrett (artistic, brave, charismatic, friendly, and frugal) and play her for up to a full Sim-year, not to exceed 40 in-game days. You must move Tess onto a 10x10 lot of your choice, in a world of your choice. It may be necessary to build a temporary structure in Edit Town to move her in, and then demolish it so the lot is empty again. Once she is moved onto her 10x10 empty lot, delete anything in her inventory, including her camera if you have WA. She should only have her high school diploma and her cell phone. Then, using the FamilyFunds cheat, set her household funds to $300. To do this, type CTRL-SHIFT-C and enter “testingcheatsenabled true” in the cheat box without the quotes. Then open the cheat box again and type “familyfunds barrett 300” without the quotes. Turn off testing cheats (testingcheatsenabled false). Then you have up to 40 Sim days to play Tess as a homeless sim, finding ways to fulfill her basic needs while making as much money as you can. You may not travel to university, the future, or a vacation world; Tess must live on the streets in whichever town you will be building her micro house. You may use sleeping bags and the tent in buydebug, or befriend other Sims so you can sleep over. You will have to be very creative. No cheating to raise her meters or artificially increase her relationships! Your budget is whatever you have managed to earn at the end of 40 Sim-days (or whenever you stop if you can’t play that long). Then, with that money, build her a micro house including:
-Budget is based on what you earn by playing Tess Barrett
-10x10 lot (this is free, does not come out of your budget)
-one bedroom
-one bathroom
-kitchen/dining space
-living room
-art space
**bonus laundry room, if the budget allows
Optional Challenge:
Show Tess throughout her year of living on the streets and tell us what she did to make it on her own. Did she get a part-time job? Did she save up for a guitar and play for tips in the subway? Did she dive in dumpsters? Let us know!

Tess Barrett is artistic, brave, charismatic, friendly, and frugal. She is a Sagittarius who loves the color green, electronica music, and autumn salad. She wants to be a Master of Arts. When her father insisted on her being a doctor, she left home to follow her dream.
Tess did everything she could to get money without actually getting a job. She collected flowers, rocks and gems, and insects. She scraped honey and beeswax from the beehives at Aleister's Elixirs & Sundries. She fished. She got her skills up so her paintings sold well. Tess's gardening produce got her money, too. She dived into piles of junk and sold whatever she found. Her boyfriend sent her gifts, as did store owners when her celebrity status got high enough. She took all the opportunities she could to make money.
At the end of her 38 day year (cut short due to pregnancy), she was a 4-star celebrity. Her painting skill was up to level 8, and her last painting sold for $734. After selling all her gifts and produce, etc, she had gathered up $119,783 to spend towards a new home and college.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: After Tess was disowned by her father, she moved to Sunset Valley for a new start. She took up a part-time job working at a cemetery. She figured since she wouldn't actually be handling the bodies, it was a decent job that paid well enough to bring her closer to her dream. After getting a job she searched around town for facilities to use & discovered that the local gym not only had showers, but a kitchen, comfy lounge chairs by the pool & a pretty nice television in the main workout area. Through the year, Tess made extra money collecting & selling produce, honey, rocks & picking through garbage. Although it wasn't her favorite way to earn extra cash, she found herself dumpster diving quite a lot & salvaging treasures that many thought where trash, but to her, was a step closer to the life she'd always dreamed of having. She befriended a lonely widow, Agnes Crumplebottom & they became quite good friends. Sometime Agnes even let Tess spend the night. Tess finally decided that the drawing table she'd been using in the thrift store wasn't efficient enough to make real work, or she finally purchased an easel. On the morning of day forty, Tess had $53,719 to spend on her dream home & start her new life.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: After Tess was disowned by her father, she moved to Sunset Valley for a new start. She took up a part-time job working at a cemetery. She figured since she wouldn't actually be handling the bodies, it was a decent job that paid well enough to bring her closer to her dream. After getting a job she searched around town for facilities to use & discovered that the local gym not only had showers, but a kitchen, comfy lounge chairs by the pool & a pretty nice television in the main workout area. Through the year, Tess made extra money collecting & selling produce, honey, rocks & picking through garbage. Although it wasn't her favorite way to earn extra cash, she found herself dumpster diving quite a lot & salvaging treasures that many thought where trash, but to her, was a step closer to the life she'd always dreamed of having. She befriended a lonely widow, Agnes Crumplebottom & they became quite good friends. Sometime Agnes even let Tess spend the night. Tess finally decided that the drawing table she'd been using in the thrift store wasn't efficient enough to make real work, or she finally purchased an easel. On the morning of day forty, Tess had $53,719 to spend on her dream home & start her new life.
