Doing another version of ChallengeMashUp
Using a MashUp of Rosebud 500K Solitaire and EcoExistence living off the land.
Note: I decided to use 40x30 Garden Essence lot in Willow Creek.
Moved out the existing residents and bulldozed all the lots in that area.
While my Sim could use the bench behind the lot for sleep I forgot there were no public restrooms and not one trashcan by the street.
Not wanting to add funds for a toilet I used the Trusty Rustic (Outdoor Retreat) which is FREE in buydebug.

- Fresh Sim from CAS with Zero skills. Using Ren Konstantin on Normal Lifespan
Totally forgot he was already an Adult which makes things interesting to complete all the goals. - Started on an empty lot with only a trashcan and mailbox.
- Reduced funds to Zero using the Money 0000 cheat.
- Used a combination of rules from both challenges.
- Not allowed to leave that specific area until certain goals met to unlock travel. Exception is the secret Sylvan Glade lot.
- Food was not immediately available (no public grills *sigh*). Ate harvestables from the community garden behind the lot.
- Allowing use of potions purchased with aspiration points. Youth potion is priority for Ren followed by Moodlet Solvers.

- Achieved Level 10 Gardening Skill
- Completed Freelance Botanist Aspiration.
- Curator Aspiration
started and only need to Complete a Collection to finish.completed!
Note: Completed the Feathers collection (Yea doggie presents!) - Top skills: Gardening 10; Fishing 9; Handiness 8; Wellness 8; Pet Training Level 5/Maxed
- Unlocked travel to Gym with Level 4 Fitness (Have not traveled to gym yet.
- Unlocked Social Invites with Level 3 Charisma.
- No career yet. Still living off of collectables and some selected garden plants.
- Household funds on hand are almost 50k. Ren has earned just slightly more than 50k per the Fabulously Wealthy Aspiration goals.
Rosebud tracker shows 67k credited toward that goal.
Ren has existed alone on the lot and gained funds to pay bills by Gardening and Collecting.
By my choice it was not until he had Maxed a skill and completed an Aspiration that he was allowed to adopt a stray dog.
Note: No computer meant unable to adopt by that means. Did not allow travel (personal option) so not able to go to meet strays.
Alternate choice? Used the lot trait to attract dogs to the area. Befriended and adopted one of the strays and soon after changed the lot trait.
FYI: Pets are very needy! My real life cats do require attention but not even a fraction of the time these virtual pets require. Maybe if there were more Sims in the household to keep them happy it would be easier? Poor Sam (Ren's dog) has been an Elder for several days now. I am waiting until Sam is gone to think about getting a career and moving on toward the 500k Rosebud Solitaire goal.
