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 ;)
Ali had bred quite a few frogs and found some collectibles that I hadn't sold, so I sold all of those and bought her a loveseat, a tattered rug (from Werewolf Pack) and a $10 bookshelf (from Cottage Living). I will be up-grading her loveseat once she has more funds for the one that came with the high school pack, but it was $305 vs the $150 for the basegame loveseat. On the wall is her Cheer Team Flag that she got as a reward for her promotion.
Ali follows Akito to class and tells him she knows he was going to prank her locker. Maybe not the best time to do this right before exams. Now she has a suspicious sentiment towards him and he has a hurt sentiment towards her.
Ali gets through her first exam and then at lunch she decides to practice a cheer routine. She is focused for her second exam. However, during the second exam, she keeps wanting to take some spoiled grilled fruit out of her personal inventory and eat it, even though she wasn't hungry. And, in doing this, she quit taking the exam. I have not idea what was going on, and I kept cancelling the action and telling her to take that exam. Well, I guess it didn't work too well, because she didn't do too well because apparently she had a rough day. Sheesh!
Ali then did a solo routine. She also bough a gold cheer outfit (daily photo), and a Copperdale Llama Sports Mascot figurine from the concession stand.
After showering and changing, she heads to the art room. I originally was going to have her do some hacking, but she was inspired, and I remembered the art room. This is the first time that Ali has ever gone to the third floor of the school. There is a finished stilllife on one easel and the other one was free. (I just went into build mode and hung the painting on the wall. I also added a painting on another wall.).
@PhilSims wow those are quite a few mods :o I am actually thinking of rebuilding the whole park and basing it more on the Oasis Springs park that has a little hideaway where you can read and hide away from the rain and blizzards. I might add a small greenhouse to see if that will prevent the trees reverting. Oh my gosh that is indeed a very early breakfast :D And in school early too, wow love the look of that study area.
@SoulGal7 I am so impressed by how Ali’s little house is coming along, I wish Miranda’s paintings will sell, I will need to make a new plan for money making if it does not. Ali’s place is looking lovely. I hope her apple trees will grow, it seems all outside plants keep reverting in my game, unless sheltered. Knitting is a good way to make money too ;) hahaha Rohan looks lovely. Oooh Ali way to go your outfits are popular. You are so clever in all the awys you make money, selling an autograph.
Oh noes day 9 is a wet one. Wowsers all those outfits are making you lots of money. Yay for the B :) Oooh like the Rocker outfit. My sim would buy that ;)
Hahaha Ali pranked the whiteboard :D Oooh I think Wolgang might have a little crush on Ali too. Not good about the glitches causing her to miss class and not being able to prompose immediately. Oh golly goodness 1210 simoleons :o Ooh love the ronovations, looking good <3 Love the cheerleader photo’s she is very good. Ooooh loved your updates they were so good :)
@SoulGal7 Ali’s little house is coming along nicely. Glad to see your little trees are growing. Oof Ali, timing not good there, hope you still do good with your exams. Oh no sorry about the exam glitch, I had the problem where Miranda wanted to play on the school computer and I had to keep on cancelling it and clicking on the whiteboard to tell her to do the exams as well. Oooh beautiful paintings Ali <3
Miranda went to school by herself, she came home tense as usual. She headed to the redone park I did, so much happier with it now. Bess was there and helped her with her homework, she even did the extra credit, then they played chess and she left quite late to get home. No Simoleons were made today. She started with 295 and ended with 278
Woke up just in time for school, well a few minutes late, but not too bad https://i.imgur.com/ASB2r3g.png
Came home tense and still a B https://i.imgur.com/lbvG9JU.png
Baked potatoes will make her feel better (greenhouse in the background) https://i.imgur.com/HgtbuiH.png
She ate them, you can see the new little reading room and a dry spot to do homework that I added to the park, https://i.imgur.com/I0U3KZy.png
I forgot to take pics of Bess helping Miranda with homework, but here they are playing chess and telling jokes to get fun up https://i.imgur.com/hm7cql0.png
I still haven't figured everything out myself, but Ali has now maxed the new Entrepreneurial skill; however, I was never able to advertise on the web. Maybe you have to be in a career to do that. Anyway, get some friends on Social Bunny first. I am not sure if this is linked or not, but Ali has maxed all her friend slots there.
First thing I normally do is look to see what is trending. I am just using one of my other sims to do this demo. So, we see that Country is in low demand, while Basics are in high demand.
So, she heads over to ThriftTea to Create a Fashion look - Basic outfit. I normally have my sim inspired. Not sure if that helps or not, but I feel that it is a creative venture, so it can't hurt. You can give your outfit a custom name or just choose from one that is already listed. I am calling this BasicCore.
Just click on one of the clothing racks, and Create a Fashion Look brings you into CAS. Then choose a "Style". All pieces must be the same style to be successful. You can also add accessories, but it must be the same style. So when you go into tops and then switch to bottoms, you need to choose the style again. Sometimes a category won't have an item available in that style. Once you are happy with your creation, click to accept. The bag with your outfit goes into your personal inventory. This outfit cost $85 to create. I just went with a full outfit on this one, but you can pick and choose to lower or increase the price. There are also items in each category that you can choose that are rare, very rare, etc. which will increase the value of your outfit.
You also have to have that amount of funds available to create the look.
Each outfit has a hype. It normally starts at neutral (I think there is a worse category called Tepid, but I haven't had that as yet). . to get more hype for your outfit, you have to get more followers on Trendi. To do that, you are going to wear the outfit.
Go back into Trendi and choose "Promote Current Look" Basically your sim takes a selfie of themselves in the outfit. Keep doing this until the hype changes to "Hot" or even better "Fire". Then it is ready to sell. It took me 17 clicks on this button to get it from Neutral to Hot. I also checked her followers and she 342 followers. Not too many. I decided to double the price to sell it. You can randomly ask any price, but do list it for more than you paid. lol
Also if you don't want to make your own outfit, you can just buy one from Trendi, hype it to get a better hype, and then re-sell it for more simoleons.
And she is lucky, because soon after she sells the other two outfits. Time to head to Thrifttea again to create another outfit, just check the trends first to see if they may have changed. Good luck!
Wow thank you so much @SoulGal7 that is absolutely aweSim <3 I will give it a try in the future, at the moment I am trying to get her popular on Plopsy, I might just sell the current paintings in her inventory and paint new ones for Plopsy cause the ones in there is when her skill was low the other one that sold was higher skill. It should start rolling from then on. I might load my game and try to play one day. I started yesterday and then had to save while Miranda was at school because we had to go shopping, I seriously hope the game is ok when I reload in because if I remember correctly its exam day :o
The day started off terrible but improved during the day and was a super nice day by the end of Friday :) Miranda started with 278 simoleons and ended with 37, but she does now have a toilet and a bath for the future, although they are just randomly placed in the yard for now LOL
Miranda woke up with very low needs https://i.imgur.com/w7siMeK.png
At school she quickly used the bathroom and started showering but I had to stop her to go to her exams https://i.imgur.com/AIQB3wZ.png
Miranda was starving and low on fun during her first exam https://i.imgur.com/VhMyU5r.png
Thank goodness its lunch time https://i.imgur.com/ZHNEFgf.png https://i.imgur.com/tMIk1RK.png
Lots of jokes and playing games on her phone had her playful for the second exam https://i.imgur.com/5eurPle.png
Yay Miranda is a Highschool A student now :) https://i.imgur.com/cUnXzax.png
She headed upstairs to paint a playful painting and to sell all the old ones so she could add the new one to plopsy https://i.imgur.com/gyJNzY3.png https://i.imgur.com/wvBvm9C.png
Off to the park for some dinner https://i.imgur.com/eSfJyn5.png
I bought some vegetable seeds she can plant in the greenhouse after dinner https://i.imgur.com/uLmiQms.png https://i.imgur.com/tDflLrm.png
She went for her usual bathroom break and shower before heading home but was pranked https://i.imgur.com/2ga4faD.png https://i.imgur.com/o63nHWP.png
Sleeptime with 1132 simoleons https://i.imgur.com/ycZv7UF.png
BUT I bought an expensive toilet and bath Muwahahaha https://i.imgur.com/2YMeaLP.png
Thank you @SoulGal7 for the explanation about trendi and hype. I wear hoodies and sweat pant and live under a rock so much appreciated. Martina will need this skill once she joins the challenge.
