Goal is to complete High school with a graduation with honours then enrol into university and complete the Academic aspiration. Have a house by the time you start your first job after university. A house has to have at least one bedroom, one bathroom, one kitchen and one lounge, if it’s bigger, it’s a bonus ;)
Start with a Teen sim
Aging on long ( we want to have fun not stress and feel chased so we don't enjoy the challenge)
Academic aspiration and any traits you want to pick
Move into Little Falls Nook in Copperdale
Place a little tent if you don’t have the pack you can place the cheapest single bed and build a 3x2 wall around it and place the cheapest door. This is to protect your sim from seasons, if you don’t have seasons then you can just have the empty lot and sleep on benches.
Testingcheats true and then Money 0
Follow to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Go to the old style school Tuesday and Thursday (sent alone) this is to work around the progress bug we currently have in Highschool ;)
Only stay in Copperdale until you can go to university.
Not allowed in houses and other worlds but can use community lots including the High school
No jobs, but can collect collectibles and sell until you can make your own money with crafts you purchase eg easel or knitting basket. You are not allowed to use Plopsy to sell items and clothing to make money. Thrifty can be used, but you are only to sell outfits for double their amount they are worth, no more simoleons than that at any time. You can only sell one outfit a day.
No cheats for needs, but can use aspiration rewards if you want too
Gameplay options is up to personal preference. I will be disabling dust, the wants and fears and celebrity status.
We might adjust the rules as we play this as I did a quick play through with cheats to see if it can be done, it will be hard without cheating but I am sure we can achieve this with aging long. As with all my challenges, this needs to be fun for you, so if you need to adjust the rules to make it more fun for you feel free to do so.
This is my sim Miranda https://i.imgur.com/Wb6yh9g.png Her money is set to 0 after I gave her the little tent to sleep in to keep her save from season deaths
I hope you guys will enjoy this, I am starting this soon, not today though, I did the testing and setting up today ;)
It's a nice day, and Ali heads over to ThriftTea to do her collection rounds. Today is also the day that Ali is going to make her move on Wolfgang and in the meantime, Ali is trying her best to "hook up" various sims together. Call her Matchmaker Ali.
Kevin Puri is living with the Prices as a foreign exchange student. So, not having read or looked at any of the sexual orientations, I tried to matchmake Kevin with Savannah.
Okay, well that didn't go as planned. She is now so sad that her matchmaking didn't work, so she plays the violin that Geoffrey Osteer gave her in front of the town statue.
The afternoon wears on, and I thought that perhaps Ali wouldn't be invited to a pre-prom party today, but she was. Kiyoshi is having another party, and she heads there. {Note: I realized after re-reading the rules that Ali was not supposed to head out-of-town or go to someone's house, so for next week, she won't attend. Oops!)
Ali has never had any experience with babies, but heads upstairs to see Kiyoshi's new baby brother, Finn. She also feeds him and changes him. He is a cutie.
The prom goals come quick, and I am determined to have Ali get a silver or gold this time. It's the same gramaphone reward (worth $300 simoleons), but in a different color.
And the prom royalty, Ali voted for Wolfgang as Jester and he won. She voted for someone else for prom royalty, but Liam won! Nice! These two are so psyched that they won!
She only has two goals left, dance with someone and dance. She dances with Wolfgang again with his jester hat, and then she dances alone, but for some reason, those goals don't get ticked, so she ends up with a silver award.
One of her friends asks her to an after-party, and she goes and selects some friends to come with her. I chose friends she is going to try to match-up.
And wow, these two are really hitting it off! Liam just gave Morgan a red rose!

Ali decides that she needs to do some matchmaking herself. With Wolfgang, since he doesn't seem to want to make the first move. So, she whips out some mistletoe and attempts a mistletoe kiss.
Even after that, she can't "mess around in the cuddle carts", which is the goal here for the Live Fast Aspiration. Okay, so, she probably has to have a first kiss with him. Here goes nothing.
Oh my gosh! How funny! Ali gave Wolfgang such a passionate kiss that their cuddle cart went off the track and she is now banned from the cuddle carts! hehehe OMG! I laughed so hard at this!
Just for fun I had listed that Rocker outfit for $5,000, never expecting anyone to purchase it. But I was wrong! Wow! Geoffrey Landgraab (Sr.) purchased it! Ali now has over $7K!
I take a peek at all her relationships, and then I see this sentiment that she and Jeb both have! Oh no! He was expecting a promposal, and so was Ali, and Ali asked Wolfgang instead. Oh gee! She needs to fix her relationship with Jeb, especially since she was thinking of matching him up with Luna Villareal. Jeb is actually quite cute under that bag he wears.
Oops...I might have set Akito up with two sims! lol But Akito is now going out with Sidney Price (according to some web reading, Sidney was created to be bisexual by the Maxis team). Maybe I got a notice that Akito and Gemma didn't hit it off and re-matched him with someone else. lol I should really have written these matchmaking attempts down on paper.
Kiyoshi and Kaori. I noticed that Kaori's grandfather passed away, so I felt she deserved some happiness with Kiyoshi. The crush on Nancy is still there for Kiyoshi, though.
Okay, so she decides to head over to the library and asks both Jeb and Iggy to meet her there. Jeb arrives first and she apologies, but he doesn't accept her apology immediately. Oh gee! Maybe she should tell Jeb that she just wants to be friends with him, although their relationship might become even worse.
Iggy kind of looks at her when she apologizes to him, but it seems to have worked, and the Furious sentiment with Iggy is gone. He seemed to be busy on his phone while he was there...maybe he was texting Cassandra, and since Ali brought them together, he forgave her for whatever she had done to him to be furious with her. Sheesh teens and their moods!
Okay, enough drama, Ali goes over and decides to write a children's book. Just thinking of Kiyoshi's little brother, Finn, got her inspired. She finishes the book and heads to her favorite hang-out ThriftTea. One of the trends is Country, so she creates a male country look. There are some rare items in this outfit as well. She sets the selling price at $6K, then socializes a bit and afterwards heads home.
@SoulGal7 already loving the intro pic <3 Hahaha Dustin Broke a celebrity. Aww Ali is holding such a cute little baby. Oh my gosh the looks between Ali and Wolfgang is definitely noticeable. Oooh Ali is playing cupid, how sweet. Oh wow, no napping this time in the cuddle carts :o Hahaha that is so funny though :D What an amazing night for Ali and Wolfgang too <3
@SoulGal7 I sure do wish that these reverting plants are being worked on and will get fixed soon, Perhaps try and shelter them, it seems to be working at Totter park (for now) Oh my golly gosh 5000 simoleons for an outfit, I will have to give this a go soon :o aww that is so romantic that she knitted him a beanie <3 Oh wow Ali played major cupid on Sunday. Another super AweSim update :)
@all I wish I could load my game and play, but we are going out as a family for dinner tonight, first time since covid and I need to get ready. Happy simming all <3
Another Monday and bill day. Even with her house finished and some extra items on the lot, she still only has $255 simoleons in bills! I also realize she didn't publish the book she wrote. I am going to have her read it first and then publish it.

I join Ali at school and here she is before class working out in her cowboy outfit! lol I guess she is showing how versatile it is, and can even be used as activewear.
She finishes the day very well, and gets a call to graduate early again. I guess you get one everyday once you reach that "A" grade. Nope, not graduating early.
Oh! And Bob Pancakes wants to buy her country cowboy outfit. Chaching! $6,000 simoleons richer! Geez! Making outfits and selling them through Trendi is making her a small fortune now.
Even though Ali has an "A", I was hoping that one day she would get a pop-up that she would be Valedictorian, so bought her 2 projects and she heads over to ThriftTee to have some other sims help her with her projects. Ali just rounded up whoever was there. Quite a few sims are in outfits she created. Afterwards, she heads home.
The next day is Tuesday and Career Day, so I am going to switch Tuesday for Wednesday this week, and follow her today and not tomorrow because she has to attend Career Day for the Aspiration. When she gets to school, she sees Wolfgang, and well...good morning! lol Another sim is apparently excited at the kiss, too.
I am not sure how Career Day works and if it's set up outside, but it is from 12pm until 3pm. During her second class, she suddenly gets a notice to travel to Career Day, and her whole class and a few other students are whisked off to the auditorium with her. Her teacher is there, too.
Inside the auditorium there are some tables set up for the recruiters, and there are goals to achieve during this event. Basically you have to talk to all three of the recruiters.
Ali heads over to speak to one of the recruiters. It looks like he is in some type of business. She seems very interested in one recruiter, or they seem to be interested in Ali, and she spends a long time chatting with them.
After speaking with all three recruiters, she now has to talk to her teacher about her future (career day goals). Ali already knows she is going to uni, but still unsure right now of what program or which uni she will choose.
When Career Day is over, she heads back to high school to use the computer there and chooses a part-time job as a Simfluencer. (needed for the last part of the Academic Goal Teen Aspiration). She took the morning shift 5:30 am - 7:30 am before school, and she works everyday except Sunday and Wednesday.
@SoulGal7 Love the parking spots intro pic is so cool. That is not too bad for bills considering how nice her house is looking :) Holly macaroni 6000 simoleons !!!! I did not know you could carry projects around like that, how clever ;) Career day looked interesting, and yet another fabulous outfit, AweSim update <3
Miranda had a lovely day. She started by having a nice warm shower in her own bathroom. From there she went to the park and ate some of her burgers that were still good for eating, then she did two paintings for plopsy, caught some fish and 3 orchids, she sold them and then headed to the Thrifty store to try it selling an outfit for the first time. Miranda started the day with 52 simoleons and ended it with 436
