NEIGHBORHOOD RAGS TO RICHES CHALLENGE

Hi Simmers! I have been watching a YouTuber simmer, Salise Plays, who, I believe, created this challenge. It's a rags to riches challenge where your sim starts with nothing on an empty lot with 0 simoleons, and has a week to survive in one neighborhood in a sim world in winter., using only the resources in that neighborhood. There are lot restrictions such as off-the-grid, simple living and reduce-recycle. The neighborhood is normally bulldozed, so the sim does not have access to free chips at the bar, for instance. There will be exceptions to this as apartments can't seem to be bulldozed in The Sims (so, San Myshuno will remain intact, just the businesses bulldozed). Also no cheats for easy simoleons, such as buying the decoration box and rummaging for decorations and then selling them. The sim she uses normally has positive traits such as loves the outdoors, self-assured, etc. You can watch her videos HERE.

But I will be attempting this challenge, with a twist. The sim I will be using will have all negative traits. A sim not very suitable for survival in a rags to riches style of play. Her clothes may change as she heads to different worlds, but her traits will always remain the same. 

And here she is! Meet Allie Beck. Her traits are squeamish, vegetarian, clumsy and her Aspiration will be Fabulously Wealthy. I don't think any of these traits will give her an advantage in surviving the week.

An additional challenge rule that I created is that all holidays will be cancelled on the calendar, because with a 7-day week, Winterfest falls in the middle of the week, and you could get a substantial gift from Father Winter, so, nah, not going to happen. However, I am going to keep New Year's Eve on the calendar as that is our deadline to have a small furnished house, with bathroom, bedroom, kitchen (or outdoor grill), and living room areas (could be one open area). The challenge ends when Spring arrives on Sunday.

To have some starter funds, my sim will be allowed to take a selfie (5 pics) once she arrives on her lot in each  neighborhood.

If you would like to attempt this challenge, you can post your sim and progress here if you wish, (you can create your sim with any traits and aspiration).

Using a randomized wheel spinner, the first world will be San Myshuno, and the randomized wheel spinner for the neighborhood will be Uptown. Skye Fitness Gym will be bulldozed and she will live there. Here's hoping she will survive!
