Lone Traveler Legacy - A Wild West Challenge

This challenge is set in the Wild West era (1850s, give or take), and you will play the life and legacy of a solo traveler who moves around different worlds with their horse, never settling down and living off of ever-changing source of income.
Not all of the options I put in this challenge are strictly historically correct, but I did it for the sake of variety. Adjust the options as you prefer.

You can play it in different ways and different difficulties, and you are free to change some rules if you feel like it.
Be aware that this challenge was created for vanilla play, as I'm a console player and I have no access to mods. You are free to use them or add any CCs you feel necessary, but you might have to adjust certain rules to fit them.
This challenge relies heavily on randomized choices. It's recommended to use a number randomizer to make the choices.


STARTING HOUSEHOLD
You are gonna start the challenge by creating a household with:

  • 1 Young adult sim of any gender (if you want, you can start with a teen. But it will take you a bit longer before you can get an heir)
  • 1 Horse of any breed and gender


Your sim can have whatever traits and aspiration you want, but if you are playing in an historical setting, remember to dress them in a fitting way.
You are allowed just one set of clothes for each outfit category (you may be allowed to add more by random events)


LOTS
Your traveler sim will move from world to world, settling down in small camps (usually the smallest lot in that neighborhood, but choose the one you prefer). You can either live and travel in a wagon, or find shelter in different builds.

When moving, use the freerealestate cheat to afford moving to the new camp (sell the furniture when moving, so you will find them again when visiting again)
Don't use the cheat and gather enough funds to move if you want a higher level of difficulty


  • Wagon Option: Build a small house with the bare minimum to live: a small kitchen (optional), a bathroom with shower(or bathtub) and a toilet, two beds (bunkbeds recommended), a small table (optional)
    It's up to you to make it as big and confortable as you want, but remember it should mimic a wagon, so it's not supposed to be a luxury home.
    Save the lot to your gallery. Every time you move and change world, put down this lot, as if your traveler had stopped the wagon in that place. The position of the wagon and other outdoor furnitures you might want to add to the lot should always be different, so to make every camp you visit different from the others.


  • Shelter Option: if you are an eager builder, create a different building for every camp in which your traveler finds shelter. It can be anything, from a run-down building, to an abandoned barn, to whatever you think fit the challenge. These buildings can be as big as you want, but always try to make them feel abandoned and lacking in luxury comfort.

    For a higher level of difficulty, move into empty lots and use your funds to build your temporary shelter.


Additional Furniture: you might have to add extra furniture to your lot because of raising your heir, beacuse of your rolled source of income, or as a consequence of an event. When you move, you can decide to take them with you (put them in your household inventory) or leave them there for your next stay.

For both options, you should always put some sort of stable or shelter for your horse, with everything they could need. Since at some point you will play with 2 sims and 2 (or more) horses, I recommend always placing at least 2 horse beds.



Whenever you have to move, randomize:
- Your next stop
- The lenght of your stay
- Which lot traits and challenges the new camp will have (lots traits and challenges are optional, but recommended as they add a bit of spice to your stay).
- Your source of income.

SOURCE OF INCOME RANDOMIZER

13 Training Horses (Breed or Adopt a horse when you arrive. You have as many days as your stay to train them and then sell them)
14 Meditation or Yoga lessons (1 session per day)

Your traveler is supposed to be quite poor and struggle for money, as it makes the challenge more interesting. You are free to adjust your source of income as you prefer.



CONTINUE YOUR LEGACY
Since this is a legacy challenge, your traveler sim will have to generate an heir, who they will have to raise while traveling.

Your traveler is not supposed to have a spouse and more than one child, unless a random event ask you to.
Your traveler can have woohoo partners and romantic relationships if you want, but no marriage and try for a baby unless stated otherwise by a random event.

You will decide when to generate an heir by rolling a number between 1 and 6 as soon as your sim becomes a Young Adult. You will generate an heir when you have that number of days until aging up into an adult.
Example: I rolled a 2. I will generate an heir when the age counter in the sim panel says the traveler has 2 days until aging up into an adult.

When it's time to have an heir, I recommend choosing a sim who live in the same world you are currently staying in as the other parent, as if you met them during your stay.
This is not a strict rule, and you can choose whoever you want.


  • If your traveler is male: when it's time, try for a baby with the sim you have chosen and make sure they are pregnant. Let the baby be born outside of your household and then move them in. You can move them in when they are still a baby or wait until they age into infant.
    You are allowed to change their name. Edit the last name so it matches your traveler's.


  • If your traveler is female: when it's time, try for a baby with the sim you have chosen. Make sure to be pregnant.
    You can choose the baby's name, but they will take their father's last name.


You are free to raise your heir the way you want.
I usually roll the kid's favorite color (and then dress them appropriately) and if they need glasses or not.
I have no restriction rules regarding the heir's traits or aspirations


You can consider your current generation complete either when your main sim dies, or when the heir becomes a young adult.
You can play as many generations as you want. I tend to play endless legacies, but you can set a limited number of generations if you want an ending point.


HORSES AND ANIMALS
Your traveler is supposed to travel on horseback or with a wagon, so you must always have at least one horse.
Your traveler will usually outlive their horse, so when your horse die, you can either buy, adopt or breed a new one.
You are allowed to create it in CAS, but if you do that, remove from your funds the 2000$ the game gives you when adding a new member to your household. Then remove a reasonable amount of money as 'payment' for the horse.

When your heir turns into a child, get them a horse.

Other animals

You are free to get other animals, if you want.
Just remember that there are some random events that will add a dog/sheep/goat to your group.


EVENTS
A traveling life is not supposed to be a peaceful one: once a week (I usually do it on Monday, but you can choose whatever day you prefer), roll a random event from the stupidly long list I created.
These events are supposed to make your traveler's life a bit more difficult, mainly by making you lose money. The game feels more challenging when you are struggling for money, but you are free to ignore these events or cheat for money if you prefer a less difficult game.
Some events are more favorable, or will affect your traveler's life in a deeper way.
When you roll and event you can't fulfill because you don't meet one of the conditions, just roll another.

If you are not okay with one of my preset events, change them or add your own.

      Thanks!! I always come up with a lot of legacy challenges, but get tired of them somewhere before reaching the 2nd generations.
      This one has been keeping my interest up for several weeks, so I thought it was good enough to be posted here.


      By the way, my 2nd gen traveler just had her heir born! And then my 1st gen founder died.

      @PifflePrincess - Love this challenge. Just a suggestion: For a rags to riches start, I would suggest you roll for the income randomizer when your sim first arrives on their lot. So, on Sunday, instead of Monday. So, instead of wasting time collecting items that you can't sell because you rolled something else on Monday, you could start on the income making right away on Sunday. Especially with rags to riches on a lot that has nothing, your sim's needs plummet fast.

      LONE TRAVELLER LEGACY - BILLY BLAZE & THUNDER - ARRIVAL

      https://i.postimg.cc/8zd3jPBF/billy-blaze.png

      Spoiler
      It was winter and Billy Blaze and Thunder were on a trek through the mountains when they were lost in a blizzard. They had been camped when an avalanche hit, and luckily they made it out alive.

      https://i.postimg.cc/63L9Y0tc/cover-shot-billy-and-thunder.png

      But they had lost everything. With no simoleons, no gear, and only the clothes on his back, Billie and Thunder trudged on hoping to find shelter soon.

      https://i.postimg.cc/sXfXF7Mc/it-was-raining-when-he-arrived.png

      The weather changed and the rain was pelting down when they arrived in Chestnut Ridge. They headed to a place called Palomino Junction, where Billy figured he would camp for at least 11 days to try to get some simoleons and replenish his supplies before he moved to the next town.

      https://i.postimg.cc/FspSCyDT/the-neighbors-brought-biscuits.png

      The place didn't have much, but there seemed to be an abandoned shack and an outhouse. There was a shelter for Thunder and a pond, where he might catch some fish. There was also prairie grass which Thunder could feast on. (Lot traits were prairie grass and Bracing Breezes; rolled Cat Hang-out and Grody. Also made it off-the-grid.)

      https://i.postimg.cc/L4BghkKm/the-rusty-horseshow.png

      Billy had a good feeling about the place, and soon one of his neighbors came by with some biscuits. Afterwards, he headed to The Rusty Horseshoe, which his neighbor told him about, as they were looking for a piano player. Maybe all those lessons Billy had taken when he was young would pay off. And sure enough, he got the job in exchange for using the facilities and getting free chips at the bar. (Rolled 9 - Play guitar for tips, but since there was no guitar, played the piano).

      https://i.postimg.cc/W3mzFVy5/playing-fortips.png

      There was also a fight at the bar that night.

      https://i.postimg.cc/43NQg4m6/first-night-there-is-a-fight.png

      And some of the bar patrons were in shock.

      https://i.postimg.cc/SsH6CWVd/his-friend-umber.png

      https://i.postimg.cc/QNWksyxy/sims-were-in-shock.png

      Thunder had come in to the bar to see if Billy was ready to head home. Billy apologized and said his horse wasn't trained yet.

      https://i.postimg.cc/kgwWfrfB/my-horse-isnt-trained-sorry.png

      He bought an old sleeping bag from the barkeep with tips he had earned that night, and had also found some fruit. He set up his camp when he got home and planted the lemon and pineapple.

      https://i.postimg.cc/Y2ggTLdc/got-a-sleeping-bag-and-plants-lemon-an-dpineapple.png

      Then it started to snow.

      https://i.postimg.cc/020SyRgc/first-snow.png

      As he was getting ready for bed, he had some of the biscuits his neighbors brought by. Those vittles never tasted so good.

      https://i.postimg.cc/sDTcGCdf/might-glad-his-neighbors-came-by-ith-the-vittles.png

      https://i.postimg.cc/50W9zyLv/LOTS-PALOMINO-RIDGE.png

      ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

      Billy Blaze is a teen. I had him drop out of high school. He started with 0 simoleons. The lot came with the Horse Ranch pack I deleted the cabin that was there, and put in a debug crumbling cabin. I added a debug outhouse from Jungle Retreat wihich is a bathroom and shower combo. The horse shelter is also debug. Billy earned enough tips to buy a sleeping bag ($140). With his next tips, he will buy a water trough ($50), horse feeder ($50). horse bed ($50) and horse ball ($30).

      Thunder's traits are Intelligent, Independent and Brave.

      Billy's Traits are Hot Headed and Romantic, and his Aspiration is Championship Rider.

      They are available for download on the gallery.

      LONE TRAVELLER LEGACY - BILLY BLAZE & THUNDER - WEEK 1

      https://i.postimg.cc/jSb39JPC/billie-and-justine.png

      Spoiler
      After a good night's rest, Billy was ready to head to town again. The barkeep had said he could come in during his stay and play the piano anytime.

      https://i.postimg.cc/HnVpDMCq/camping-out-moodlet.png

      Billy had harvested some prairie grass and fed Thunder some for breakfast.

      https://i.postimg.cc/kDr90JFq/feeding-some-prairie-grass.png

      As Billy was preparing to leave, he heard some shouts and turned around and saw a family approaching. They introduced themselves as the Ridge Family and were travelling to their cousins' homestead in another town and wondered if they might stay with Billy for 6 days while they got some supplies and got their horse, Jolly, re-shoed. (Rolled 35 - Shared Camp - Some travellers will stay 6 days with you at your camp.)

      https://i.postimg.cc/rmt0Xz2Y/ridge-family-visit-for-6-days.png

      The family consisted of Patrick, an elder, his daughter Stephanie, and his granddaughter, Justinee. Billy agreed and since it was breakfast time, offered them some of the biscuits his neighbor had given him. They were very grateful for Billy's kindness.

      https://i.postimg.cc/MHSF1MWC/he-didnt-have-much-but-he-shared-some-biscuits-with-them.png

      Patrick unpacked the sleeping bags, and gathered some wood, and soon had a roaring fire going.

      https://i.postimg.cc/vHvvS2zx/soon-they-had-a-roaring-fire-going.png

      While Billy brushed their horse, Jolly, he found out that Justine was his age, and that she was homeschooled. Her mother, Stephanie started on their lessons right away.

      https://i.postimg.cc/HLm0pbs7/justine-was-eing-homeschooled.png

      Billy spoke to Patrick and told him the way to town, and where Billy would be. Billy then headed off to play some piano at The Rusty Horseshoe.

      ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

      Billy's tips were getting better and near dinnertime, the Ridge family walked through the door. Billy took some time to introduce them to the barkeep where Patrick struck up a conversation with some of the locals. Stephanie had gone to use the facilities, which left Justine and Billy alone. Billy asked Josephine if she wanted to dance.

      https://i.postimg.cc/VLYY85jZ/dancing-with-justine.png

      Billy and Justine talked for a long time, telling stories about trail life. Billy may have embellished his a bit to impress Justine, but it didn't take too much, and they became friends. Billy even thought that maybe Justine had a crush on him, but he figured he was just imagining it.

      https://i.postimg.cc/4dg3HP9s/telling-stories-of-trail-life-lone.png

      https://i.postimg.cc/ZRJYw5YN/billy-blaze-justines-crush.png

      Patrick had bought some supplies and made some mushroom steak on the grill for everyone. It was rather tasty.

      https://i.postimg.cc/pLsQZ9Bw/EATING-MUSHROOM-STEAK.png

      And soon Billy's horse Thunder came to get him, and it was time to go home.

      There were also some other visitors who came during the week. And Billy met quite a few stray cats.

      They also had a fire at the camp, but Justine and Patrick had quickly put it out before any of the sleeping bags caught on fire.

      Another teen came for a visit who was passing through, Rohan Elderberry.

      Billy continued to play for tips during the week.

      He was even lucky and got an autograph from a famous celebrity. The barkeep told Billy that the autograph would fetch him some simoleons if he held on to it for a day or two.

      And soon the 6 nights were over, and on Saturday, the Ridge Family were heading off. But before they did, Justine gave Billy a gift. Patrick said that if he was ever in Glimmerbrook, to stop on by for a visit.

      The weather was freezing and there was more snow coming, but even though Billy told them to stay until the weather was better, Patrick said they had to go. And so, they left during a blizzard and Billy hoped that they would find shelter tonight.

      By mid-morning, the weather had gotten so bad, that Billy knew he couldn't sleep outside tonight. He decided to venture into the cabin to see if he could sleep there.

      When he opened the cabin door, he realized that it wasn't in that bad a shape. There was a wood burning stove, a rocking chair with a knitting basket beside it, and a small kitchen area. He swept away as much dirt as he could, rolled out his sleeping bag and lit the fire. This would be a nice warm place to sleep tonight.

      He went out to the horse shelter and laid down some extra straw for Thunder and ensured that Thunder's feed dish was filled.

      And Billy wasn't the only one seeking shelter tonight, as a barrage of cats wandered in and out of his door probably drawn to the heat of the fire. He didn't mind. He spied a knitting pattern book in the knitting basket and sat down on the rocker and tried his hand at making a beanie.

      After making one last round to check on Thunder and running to the outhouse to use the facilities, Billy settled down for the night.

      I placed 3 sleeping bags and a firepit for the Ridge family, and then sold them again when they left, adjusting Billy's simoleons accordingly. I didn't play the Ridge family, and left them to roam free. They showed up at The Rusty Horsehoe and Patrick autonomously made mushroom steak on the grill outside. Stephanie had some prairie grass in her inventory, and that was the gift that Justine gave Billy when they left.

      From the tips Billy made, he was able to furnish the crumbling cabin. (I actually just traced the cabin's walls and created the new cabin.) By the end of week 1, he had $1,235 simoleons left.

      The Ridge Family was a random family I downloaded from the gallery:

      Billy's personal inventory items after week 1. He has found some items and is breeding frogs, but hasn't sold any yet. A lot of the food in his inventory are empty plates because he doesn't have a trash can on his lot. lol
