Welcome!! I am so glad you’re here and I am so excited to share this with you!! I planned to post all the information on the forums. However, the character limits wouldn’t allow it. Please check out my brand new challenge: The House of Misfits! on wordpress... https://houseofmisfitschallenge.wordpress.com/blog/I can’t wait to hear what you think, and see what you’ll do! I will be adding more as I go, but I just couldn’t wait to share! <3

@dlaribee88 Your households are on the gallery but are tagged as having custom content. That is why they do not show up on the online gallery. This can happen if there is any custom content in your mods folder at all even if not used when creating the household. Try moving your mods folder and deleting the localthumbcache and restart the game. Then upload them again. https://i77.servimg.com/u/f77/15/53/35/04/misfit10.png

I've started playing this challenge and I love it!! I've not really used clubs before and didn't realise how much fun they were and gives you a great way to play the game. Unfortunately, I kept having problems with the MCCMod but I found a way around keeping the students at home without it affecting their grades. I create a holiday four days out of the week, and one day they go to school. This way they still eventually get to an A grade and the holidays allow them to work on their other skills in the way you've structured it on your blog. I've even created a document where I tally up their skills at the end of the week for all 3 houses and a challenges page were I write down the names of the students who win the challenge, i.e. chess, painting, cooking and duelling etc.Thanks so much for putting this fun challenge together!

You're welcome! I'm restarting it, and have designed my own main R&B house (mostly because I don't like 2 storey or more houses and I like to keep it simple so I can find my sims) although I have one outer building that does have a second story which has all the kitchens. Like you, I'm not the best builder but I loved this build that I did for this challenge, except for the roofing. I'm just no good at roofs. I used your yellow house members but I couldn't find the green or R&B houses, so I made them up in CAS. I also have a few challenges I rotate through. I'm forever starting challenges and not finishing them. I steer clear of the legacy challenges as I only ever last till the 3rd generation. It's interesting to see how some of the students in the house just excel at the skills more than others without me even controlling them. I started playing with just the one household for 3 weeks but now I've decided I'll rotate between houses each week, hence me restarting and also now that I have a better idea on what I'm doing it should all run a lot smoother from the get go. One thing I found when I went to the Yellow house after playing the main house for 3 weeks was that all the yellow house students had level 3 in Research and Debate! And level 2 in writing. I couldn't figure that one out :smile: I haven't created my own little mini challenges yet. But I'll let you know if I do come up with any ideas. I'll take pictures on my second attempt but I don't think I can upload pictures yet?

I love your idea of starting them as toddlers and moving them into a 'children' school. It'd been interesting to see how that would play out. They would be like super teenagers. Have you got any ideas written down for how you are going to do it yet? I'll try and come up with some ideas, maybe we can share them :) I've expanded on my documents in tallying skills and social. I have very thorough record sheets now. The challenges are fun. I have them run on the treadmill for the fitness challenge. I do the painting challenge and whoever's painting sells for the highest wins that challenge. I do a chess playoff for logic. I've done the fishing challenge, duelling and social challenge. I've played week one with the main house and I'm currently playing week one with the Yellow House. All the teenagers had level 3 Research and Debate when I started them. They were busy with that skill. They also had quite high cooking, which surprised me and better fitness than the R&B House I'd just been playing with!I have taken some pictures but I'm not sure how to upload them here. When I click on image it just asks for URL. I don't think my status on here is high enough for me to upload photos yet.

(Like I mention in the challenge rules, making up your own is best and most fun, but I do plan to share some I’ve done, and can’t wait to hear what you make up.)

Yay!! So glad you’re going to try it some day. I’m still having a lot of fun with it! I may have stayed up until 3 am playing ??

Yes I just took a random lot from the gallery and repurposed it. I wasn’t sharing for credit, just to show people what I was doing. I am pretty proud of my school though. Still needs work... thinking of adding another level for the bedrooms. Not sure yet.

The other two families for some reason aren’t uploading. It says I have CC but I 100% don’t. So I’m not sure what the issue is with that.

Thanks again!!!

Your households are on the gallery but are tagged as having custom content. That is why they do not show up on the online gallery. This can happen if there is any custom content in your mods folder at all even if not used when creating the household. Try moving your mods folder and deleting the localthumbcache and restart the game. Then upload them again.
