One Month One World One Year Personal Challenge (Complete!)

@SoulGal7

Ah, okay, that's another good idea. I thought about doing it, but I guess I was trying to make it harder on Tessa by sticking to the one aspiration and then switching to the other afterward. My personal choice, you can do it however works for you. It's a pretty open challenge in a lot of ways. Although, I'm a little bummed I didn't switch around now since Tessa is Level 9 in fishing already. But then, there's only one fishing spot, so she wouldn't have been able to progress past the first milestone anyway.

Another good idea that I've done in the past with Rags to Riches Sims. Or I set some kind of simoleans goal for them, like I did with Tessa. She had to have earned 5K before she could build a proper house. However, she did live on the lawn beforehand with a fridge, portable shower, poo hoo bush, a counter and a folding chair. She also had 4 wall pieces under a roof so the fridge wouldn't break if it rained and for general shelter from it. It wasn't enclosed though, just two back pieces and one on each side of those with the roof suspended above that.



Very unrealistic and looks odd, but she needed shelter from the rain, it was raining A LOT! o.O I guess I could've just had her hang out at the Onsen when it rained. That would be an option or the lounge, the bar etc. if you didn't want your Sims to build until they had the simoleans to do so.

I'm not opposed to part-time jobs for teens. Rags to Riches without a job is just my preferred way to start all my challenges/saves. Sakura could've even started out with the 20K if you'd preferred playing that way. It just makes it a lot easier. I usually try to be as tough on my Sims as I can when playing Rags to Riches style, but I have been a bit easier on Tessa, for instance letting her convert fish to plasma packs. That's actually a bit cheaty I think, probably should've waited until Forgotten Hollow was played eh? I didn't plan this out too well. :D

Yeah, Kyoshi just has the adventurous trait, but I don't think he has any climbing skills. I did the same thing with him, Tessa brought him to the Onsen with intentions of climbing together. But when I put them in a group, there was no option to 'climb together.' Bummer... I wonder if they added that as a club activity. That might be an option to get other Sims skilled up for the mountain climb. Need to look into that. Other than that, the only other ways I can see is what I mentioned, moving a Sim in and skilling them up that way. I'd say you could play other potential team members in their own home (if they have one) to skill them up, but I don't think I'd personally want to do that.

I don't think you've done anything wrong, like I said, it's a WIP and I'm open to suggestions as well. For instance, you're sending Sakura to school? I might end up doing that too, but it takes up SO much of their time during the day when they could be doing other things to progress. That's why I prefer to not send Tessa and just cheat up her grade if it gets too low.
