Decades Challenge
I've just started making and playing my decades challenge on youtube and the rules are too long for the description box. I figured here would be the perfect place to put them so I can link to them. ...

Hey everyone! Work has been crazy lately, sorry I've been MIA. Planning to update the rules for the new kits very soon!
I think this is one where you need to pick your backstory - is the family well off, or are they starting off struggling? The challenge can work for either.
Yes, I think that makes a lot of sense! I'd say those are allowed from the beginning.
He can move out, but keep in mind that he might die in war and then he's not your heir anymore, so then you'll need to go back to the family to play with the new heir.
From the rules: "Paranormal investigation was popularized in the 2000s, but has been around since before the Decades Challenge begins; seances have been around even longer. You are welcome to use Paranormal Stuff in your gameplay from a historical perspective – just keep in mind that the specters and creepy objects may reduce the realistic nature of this challenge." Either gender!

OK I defiantly want to try this one quick question do you start out with no money? or is it a water floats your boat deal?

are we allowed to use wicker furnishings the internet says it was the earliest form of maker furnishings

Sorry if this has been asked. Can my male heir move out when he hits YA or does the whole family have to stay in one house (minus the earlier daughters who can move out after married)
He can move out, but keep in mind that he might die in war and then he's not your heir anymore, so then you'll need to go back to the family to play with the new heir.

What decade would work best to use the Paranormal Investigator Career? And which gender can?

I know that the theory was that in the 1920s that people shouldn't drink. But technically we all know they technically did that anyway so maybe that rule for 1920s should change? Also just because print media is dying out doesn't mean journalism is dying out. So technically there are still journalists in the world (and also newspaper can be found both in print and online) so I think journalism should be able to be a job even in the 2010s.
there's one other thing I wanted to say but I forgot it. Now I remember.. what if in someone's storytelling that they wanted their 19th or early 20th cenutry daughter to be "ahead of their time" and become a doctor/lawyer (I mean they would have to leave it when they got married)?
Also about the bonus round what if someone wants to have their sims in their story be "fools" that don't obey rules?
- Drinking: If your Sims want to break the rules (just like they would break the law) then go for it - that's a gameplay decision!
- Journalism: I think I mentioned in another post that this was more a commentary on how the news has become so biased that it's now more entertainment than news. Feel free to use this as a career!
- "Ahead of their Time": You can absolutely adjust your gameplay like this! If you watch my Decades Challenge on YouTube, I actually have a lesbian couple in the 1920s that have to keep their relationship a secret from most people (they're "roommates") - technically against the rules, but very much real from a historical perspective!
- Bonus Round: That actually sounds like that would be a really fun story - go for it!
