Castle of Cards: A Sims 4 Challenge
This is a new challenge thought up by myself when playing cards. I use English cards (since I know that some sets in Europe differ) which have the four suits as hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. The...

A new chaos! Entitled Over-zealousness it is the direct opposite of the issue in Lack of Purpose
A requirement for this challenge, since it is a big one I will warn you early on, is to have one subject at the top of each ‘purposeful’ career, they must also be married and have children older than babies. It is up to you whether you cheat or take the time to set this up during the earlier stages of this challenge.
Over-zealousness
The realm has gone mad with purpose! Every citizen is so completely absorbed in the values and lifestyle that the monarchs promote that there is little room for much else. While this should make the royals happy, they worry that their subjects will become too focused to look after themselves and their families. Something must be done to promote balance in the realm.
a) Dedication: The people used to like doing different things and enjoying time away from their purpose but now they’re insatiable! The king is worried that this will cause a long term financial crisis and the queen fears for the social climate. Have three people from court (ladies in waiting, guards etc) befriend three subjects in an attempt to persuade them. Have the king’s guard join separate ‘purposeful’ careers to see if it is having any effect on the riches of the realm.
b) Priorities: It turns out that while there is no immediate effect from this newfound drive in subjects, it is clear that eventually the realm will collapse financially if it is not dealt with. The king wishes to quietly warn his people of the troubles this could bring while the queen is adamant a firm hand is required.
The king’s guard must now infiltrate the workplace higher up, by reaching l.v 5, and befriend two colleagues each. If you prefer this method, follow c.
The queen however refuses to sit back and watch her society fall and declares that all those who spend more than 8 hours a day doing purposeful activities are to be arrested. A curfew is also imposed so that families are together from 8pm until 8am on weekdays and 11pm until 8am on weekends. The queen and her ladies are now disliked by a member of every household in the realm. If you prefer this method, follow d.
c) Climbing the ladder: The kings’ guard have managed to warn everybody on the lower levels, but without any power they can only decide how they act. The top level workers must be persuaded. Five citizens must gain l.v 4 of a skill related to another realm. The kings’ guard must now reach l.v. 9 of their careers and befriend all of their colleagues, but not their boss. Follow e.
d) Hell hath no fury: The queen’s impatience has lost her friends and allies within the realm, but her scaremongering is working. The people of the realm are so scared of her wrath that they refuse to focus on their purpose for any more than 4 hours a day and won’t be seen out of their house after 6pm, even on weekends. Six citizens have quit their jobs and so have cost the royal household $5000. Follow f.
e) Politics and compromise: The king himself meets with the career leaders to inform them of the problem. He offers that in exchange for giving workers one day off every two weeks to pursue other interests, take downtime and spend time with family, he will ensure that their families will hold a high place in court for the foreseeable future. Move out any children from the bosses’ households and place them in court as ladies in waiting or guards in training. Follow g.
f) Society and fortune: The social climate of the realm is where it should be, lowly subjects fearing their queen and obeying the rules. Although this is costing the royal household money, they can surely employ their favoured friends. Employ the six citizens with the highest relationship level with the queen (these must be advanced to friend or higher if just acquaintances) at the levels of the six who quit their jobs. Take another $5000 from the royal household.
g) Brewing storm or drop in the ocean?: With money worries resolved and the over-zealous nature of the people calmed, all seems well. Unfortunately it transpires that the king’s actions were not quick enough. Four subjects died focusing too hard on their purpose and not enough on their surrounding environment. Furthermore, it has been rumoured that the career leaders are now vying for the throne, thanks to their own riches and their children’s places at court. Kill four subjects, one by drowning, one by electrocution, one by starvation and one by fire. Have the two career bosses dislike the King and Queen.
