Sims 3 Lifetime Wishes Challenge

I started playing Sims 3 with the base game, a few expansion and stuff packs along with mods. I’ve never really played the base game alone without mods until a few months ago when I decided to try. Well, I found out I needed a mod and I needed a goal to continue playing without all Expansion Packs (EP) and Stuff Packs (SP). So I’ve come up with the Lifetime Wish Challenge (LW). Play without mods if you like.

Goal
To complete all the LWs in your Sims 3 EPs.

There are 87 Lifetime Wishes (LW) in Sims 3. Play this challenge with the EPs you have.

32 LW in Sims 3
8 LW in World Adventures
8 LW in Ambitions
6 LW in Late Night
7 LW in Pets
3 LW in Showtime
9 LW in Supernatural
6 LW in University Life
4 LW in Island Paradise
3 LW in Into the Future

Rules


  • One Sim (Super Sim) will complete every LW. In case of death, the super sim will need one YA or A in the household or at death the game is over.
  • Gameplay setting is Long. Use Ambrosia or your Lifetime Rewards to extend life.
  • All LWs that come with an EP will be completed within that EPs world before adding the next EP to the game. Example: 33 LWs that are in the base game must be completed in Sunset Valley. The same goes for the 6 LWs in Late Night must be completed in Bridgeport and so on. You will find the list of all the LW listed by EP at Simswiki.info
  • EPs without LWs will be added in order of the original EP release date or at the beginning of the challenge. I added Generations and Seasons at the beginning of my challenge because both added no LWs to Sims 3.
  • You can add all SPs at the beginning of the LP because they add no value to this challenge’s points.
  • Mods are fair play. You can’t cheat skill levels or happiness points to help jump through employment levels to complete an LW. You can, however, use a Mod to adjust Lifetime Happiness Reward value in half or greater or less but not a zero setting. You can speed up or slow down skill learning, but not jump levels.
  • NO MONEY CHEATS. Money cheats will cheat the LWs that pertains to wealth. You can use your Lifetime Happiness (LH) point to purchase rewards that will add funds to the household since you have earned the LH points.
  • All CC is fair.
  • All additional sims in the active household have NO LW value to the Super Sim quest. The choice to play out any adult children lives to better the future of the Super Sim for Into the Future is optional nothing to the Super Sim’s challenge.
  • If your game is giving issues for whatever reason and you can’t deal with the growth of the file size, you can save your household with only what is in their personal inventories to the bin at the end of an EP’s LWs completion. With the addition of the next EP, you can start a new game in the new town that came with the added EP. Doing this should help keep your game file size as small as possible.


The entire list of rules I play with and a list of the mods can be found at thatgrandma.tumblr.com

Feel free to adapt this challenge to your liking.
  • Rheed Turner is a Supersim. She will complete all 87 Lifetime Wishes. Her traits are Natural Cook, Handy, Friendly, Green Thumb, and Brave. She started out living with a roommate, Rasheed Sims who will be her support/lifeline throughout this challenge. Rheed liked Rasheed and wanted a different relationship but she was had to get through a few lifetime wishes that tarnished her reputation. Lifetime Wishes like Gold Digger and Heartbreaker. How can you hide the fact that you had 10 different boyfriends? Rheed didn't bring them home so that helped a lot. When she completed that task and settled down, Rasheed went from being maybe daddy to baby daddy. Welcome Home Jr.

  • Now Rheed and Rasheed and Rasheed Jr. was a new family. Rasheed on the Military career track and Rheed a stay at home move for the time being raising little Rasheed Jr. While at home she knocking out the lifetime wishes that don't involve a career but are based on skills like, Renaissance Sim, The Tinkerer, The Culinary Librarian, Living in the Lap of Luxury, Perfect Mind, Perfect Body, Master of the Arts, Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers, and Illustrious Author. The birth of a set of quads and she's ready to work on the Surrounded by Family lifetime wish. Rheed's first career lifetime wish is Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder. After that, she finished the Professional Author. With the help of her daughter Rhedeja, she completes Presenting the Perfect Private Aquarium. She is now Super Popular and is working on the Celebrated Five-Star Chef lifetime wish. She has completed17 of 32 base game lifetime wishes.
  • Okay, how about this. During Rhedeja's wedding party, Rasheed gave Rheed a Fertility Massage and didn't find out till the next day. Thank God they were so tired when everyone left they didn't have time to Whoowho. For the 12 hours, the buff lasted they weren't even on the same lot. They tried it! Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you Rhedeja married Makalia Williams' son and I put everybody out the house. The triplets hadn't graduated, gone. Rhedeja and her husband, gone. Moved them all to their new homes. Now I have the time to get this challenge on track. Rheed is one level away from completing her 18th-lifetime wish.
  • Rheed's life is not all work. She is a wife and mom of 8 children and what 10 children. Rasheed wants to be a grandfather which he just accomplished, that is step-grandpa. The kids are moved out after high school graduation. Rasheed Jr. has married crazy Dorie Hart who has one foot in the grave. Of the quads, Malik married Darlene Bunch. Hakim is dating BeBe Hart . Amira was partnered with Hank Goddard but he had an untimely death. Rhedeja is still living at home. She's a feer spirit and the back support for her mom.

    When I thought raising children was over, Rheed and Rasheed showed me differently. Through the wonderful magic of autonomy Rheed give birth to triplets. Niehma, Sojourna and Jamaul are set to graduate in the next LP. Jamaul met Suzette Alto-Steel at the prom and now they are engaged to be married. They will marry before graduation and move into their home. Niehma and Sojourna will move in with their big brother and sister, Hakim and Amira.
  • I've just started this challenge on my YouTube channel. I did adjust the rules a little bit so it's fits my liking but I love playing this!
