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...

We finally have our fifth chaos for the challenge! This one is almost the opposite of Population Crisis and is much shorter than the others, but no easier! Enjoy :3
Over-Population
Please note: this challenge cannot be implemented in Magnolia Promenade
In recent days the people of the realm have been, well, everywhere. It would appear that every household is crammed full of children and their elders and it just won’t stop. As nice as it is to see such family values, the realm can’t sustain this amount of people and surely can’t expand its borders. Something must be done to prevent a population explosion!
a) Ready to burst: The King and Queen returned from their latest tour of the realm and were overwhelmed by the number of people in the streets, houses and everywhere in between! Every household must have at least one elder and three children, with two households that have eight sims in.
b) Cost Effective: It would appear that having babies and large households means working subjects and less money for the realm. Worse yet, the families that are growing are growing in poverty while the richer families have one or two children every generation. The king and queen have joined forces to tackle this problem and propose to increase taxes and pass a law ensuring that every subject older than a teenager must work full time unless pregnant or ill. Take $2000 from every household and add it to the royal household. Employ every young/adult/elder in a full time career.
c) Public Relations: The royal family seem to have missed the point slightly, now aggravated and exhausted from work the people of the realm are still multiplying. The phenomenon is even extending to court and so an educational programme is put into place. Have the two oldest members of each household dislike the King or Queen, employ three l.v 8 doctors to deliver babies and educate families on how to avoid accidental conceptions by giving every subject in the realm ‘good medical advice’. Two ladies in waiting are also pregnant.
d) Learning Curve: The educational programme combined with the raise in taxes appears to have stemmed the population boom for now. Although longevity is also an issue, with nowhere for the elders to retire to and their anger increasing at the new law for them to work. Build a retirement home (or a few) and move every elderly sim into this new home. The new law has added exceptions; if they have worked in the same career since they were young adults they may retire and if they have worked in this career since they were adults or older they may go part-time. If they were never employed until elderly, they cannot stop working.
e) Unfortunate Stabilisation: Due to the new knowledge that the subjects may now copulate without producing a baby, it would appear that they have taken this a little too far. The subjects of the realm are dying of, well, too much ‘bedroom interaction’. While this is tragic and must be solved, it is an unusual and unfortunate solution to the overpopulation. 4 sims die from too much woohoo. Send the doctors in again to give every subject ‘good medical advice’.
f) Solution at Last: now that the subjects are educated fully in the matter of procreation and more and more are becoming deterred from having too many children, the realm seems to be at peace again. From now on, pregnant sims cannot take family leave until after the baby is born and are only entitled until they are a child. Only one parent may take family leave for adoption and only the pregnant sim after the birth. Taxes are to be taken weekly from each household at $2000 each and given to the royal household. All sims are required to leave their families and move into a retirement home once an elder.
