this challenge sounds really cool - definitely trying this out
for anyone who's lost, the most updated version kept by CuteCoffeeGal can be found in
this comment.
I'm also adding this to the bonus round, based heavily on ThraWalker
(I actually just corrected a few grammatical mistakes. probably didn't get all of them. I also added and modified a couple of rules here and there.)
2020:
- Roll a die for each sim that has a job; sims with even numbers keep their job and odd numbers lose their job.
- Sims may only leave the house to go to work.
- Anytime a sim gets home from work, you must roll a die; even number: they're fine, odd number: the sim just lost their job (you must not go to work until you're fired). Once that's done, roll again: even: they're clean, odd, the sim has been exposed to Covid and must feed the cow plant.
- Any Sims that have interacted with the exposed sim after getting home from work must also roll twice: odd: they are now infected, and odd again: they must feed the cow plant.
- Children and teenagers are not allowed to go to school but must still complete homework. (Homeschooling is greatly encouraged - there's a mod for that. Check CCG's website, above)
- Any time anyone asks to come over, or for your sim to go over, you must say no.
- After a year of the infection, there is now hope for vaccines (buy medicine over the computer and have the sim drink it). Roll the die once each day: if you get 5, 5 times in total, Elders can start receiving vaccines. Each day after that, roll another 1 or 5 for essential workers, then the next time for the next age group to get vaccinated, until teenagers. Then, teens, children, and toddlers can get the vaccines all at once.
• (Original: "2 days after the youngest child's birthday, you can start receiving vaccines. Elderly sims receive vaccines first, then essential workers, then everyone else." Changed this in case there are no children in the household, or just in general for more of a randomised challenge.)
- When it is a sim's turn for a vaccine, roll the die: even numbers get a vaccine, odd numbers roll again the next day.
- Sims must wait two weeks until the next dosage. Once all sims have received their vaccines twice, things can start going back to normal.
- Bonus non-points for decorating the house with piles of toilet paper and old newspapers.
any ideas or suggestions for 2030s and beyond?
