show us your last sim that you made

That sounds like an awesome way to play @Ashkevron ! For my challenge, I let my sim buy the smallest empty plot of land (they need a 'home' address after all), build nothing there and then used a cheat to take away all his remaining simoleons. His first money he made by selling fish he caught and small paintings he made on the easel next to the water (I'm playing in Windenburg). Most of that money went to meals at restaurants (wanted to prepare him for the restaurant business, so he had to eat there as well ;) ), he slept on the benches in the park and he used the bathroom at the gym for his other needs. My sim also has the dance machine trait, so his socializing (and dancing for fun) he did at the nightclub in Windenburg.

After a challenging time, and after his painting skill got better, he was able to buy a second plot of land and is building his restaurant there. Tough going, but he's got the exterior warehouse up now and restored, and a few dining tables and the other necessities to open up his own restaurant. At the moment, he was finally able to build a mini apartment on top of the restaurant, with his very own bedroom and bathroom. :) Now it's onward to upgrading the restaurant, making it look nice, adding a nightclub there on the side and making his own apartment on top bigger and more comfortable, while at the same time still keeping up with expenses from running the restaurant and paying his bills from his home lot. Have had so much fun already with this save!

That's similar to how Elijah started. Showed up in the city, used the cheats to buy him the lot with the gutted warehouse on it. He started with nothing at all, not even the camping stuff. Sent him out to gather stuff and sell it. Took a couple days of sleeping in the park and using the local gym to keep clean before he got enough to make some paintings. Sold them to buy the tent. Then he had a good place to sleep. More paintings bought him the cooler, cheapest table and chair. More paintings, lots more paintings, got him the shower. Now he had a place to sleep, keep clean and eat. From there worked on increasing skill in painting and did not too bad, couple thousand simoleons before the flea market showed up. That's when I discovered the street gallery he can buy and keep in inventory. That changed things dramatically, he can now make large canvasses of excellent quality, I think he is at level 7 painting skill. So he is well on his way now after about 2 sim weeks. Should be able to afford the lot in three or four days. Then it's more work on paintings to start to outfit it. Thinking of getting his loft fitted before worrying about the gallery part...better furniture and stuff will just make things easier for him. Plus the never weary reward, steel bladder and so on will make him able to really push out the art.

Rags to riches games are my favourite. I have had a couple where I imposed really strict rules on myself and made it very difficult. Probably my favourite type of game to play. The other challenge I enjoyed was the Room Challenge...great fun on that one.

Sounds great @Ashkevron ! Never tried a rags to riches story before, but with both Dine Out and Windenburg to explore when I got those packs together in a sale, I thought it was the perfect time to start one! :) Haven't tried the Room challenge yet, thought I've seen the topic, another fantastic challenge! Maybe I'll try that one out in my next game. :)

I felt a bit moody about Valentine's day and decided to make a full-on maneater to entertain myself ;D Aphdorite was the result:

She's almost a complete opposite of the sims I usually create from facial features to her style so she's definitely something refreshing to me :)

I created some of the main characters of the game Resident Evil. These are not all, but only eight sims per family, so it's a start.

AAAARGH! I can't edit posts either, so in case you're wondering: The :/ is actually : / (without the blank).

I decided James needed a bf. and Nathan was the result of this :)
