Rosebud 500K Solitaire by EuphorialQueen

Original post Rosebud 500K Solitaire by EuphorialQueen
Rosebud 500K Solitaire by EuphorialQueen
Based on the Rosebud Achievement with similar goals to Rosebud Challenge (by EuphorialQueen)
Rosebud is an in-game Achievement that requires the household to have a total household Net worth of One Million Simoleons.
That is Simoleons on hand plus the value of the lot and furnishings. This can be tracked using the Wealth & Collecting tab on the Accomplishments menu.
The test run in my game has been completed successfully.
There will be one Sim only to reach the challenge goal.
The goal for a single Sim will be to reach a Net Worth of 500,000 Simoleons.
The Start: Single Sim - Empty Lot - Zero Simoleons
Fresh Sim from CAS with any traits.
If you wish to share you can use either of these hashtags.
#RosebudSolitaire
-or-
#Rosebud500K
This is the only Sim allowed in the household during the entire challenge until goal met.
If using a Male Sim he may Try for Baby but neither the Child nor the Mother can join the household.
*Aging is ON* Normal Lifespan.
This will keep the population fresh with new Sims added to replace Elder / Dead Sims.
Cheats are not allowed except as noted to reduce funds.
Exceptions: Once Sim is on empty lot use testingcheats on followed by Money 00000 to reduce to Zero Simoleons.
Glitches may require a cheat to resolve.
Additional guidelines: Must earn 500 Simoleons by collecting or creating before getting a job.
Purchases can be made only once per week. I chose Bill Day (Usually Monday) after the bills are paid.
You have 24 hours from when the bills arrive to purchase items or remodel the lot.
That includes any build / buy purchases.
Did you forget to buy something? It will have to wait until the next week.
Exceptions: Books, Repair Parts or Seeds which are bought via computer, bookcase or planter box.
Exception: You may buy an item to mark the day you use a Youth Potion. This is an unpredictable date so is an exception to the purchasing restrictions.
Aspirations are not set in stone. A lot of Satisfaction Points are going to be needed for a steady supply of Youth Potion.
So how do you survive long enough to reach 500K Simoleons? Youth Potions and lots of them.
They must be bought from earned Satisfaction Points.
Keeping track: I use the Wealth & Collecting tab on the Accomplishments menu to track net wort.
Time: Each week when bills arrive I buy a small decor item (same one for each week) and place it in a designated area on the lot.
Potions: A chose a different small decor item to represent each time a Youth Potion was used.
Travel and Businesses: Your Sim is allowed to travel anywhere in the game without restriction.
The Get To Work EP will be out soon. A business can be owned and run by your single Sim. Employees may be hired to help with the business as long as they are not Members of the household. You are allowed to stay on the business lot as long as necessary. Additional guidelines for this EP gameplay will be added once it is officially released.
-
Feel free to add comments or ask questions.
Exception: Alien abductions that result in pregnancy Will be an exception to the Single Sim/No children rule.
The child may stay in the household.

Update 18April2019
April patch 1.51.75.1020 (16April2019) added Freelance careers to the base game.
Artists, authors and programmers earn money by accepting gigs and performing simple tasks.
All that is required is an electronic sketchpad (for the artist) and computer to chat with the client.
In testing with a household of three Sims they have earned over §65k in one week.
That makes me wonder .... how long would it take to reach the §500k goal?
Are you up to a new twist in this challenge?

  • Okay .... so here is the thing .....

    A lot of new content has been added to our game. New traits, aspirations, skills and gameplay that could fit nicely into any of my challenges. To add it properly would take a bit of time and testing. Playing the game is still fun but I am only playing for short periods. Right now is not a good time to be able to concentrate on revising game challenges. Please feel free to amend my challenges to play as you wish.
    Hopefully new inspiration will strike soon.
    <3 <3 <3 Thank you all for your loyal following.
    Happy Simming!

  • Attempted to revise the challenge info in the first post. Unfortunately the edit did not 'take' and I did not have a copy of the revised edit.
    I presume this is due to the original posting date making this too old to edit. I am slowly working on reformatting the original Rosebud and Rosebud 500K Solitaire challenges. Links will be added here when it is ready. In the meantime feel free to add components from new packs that you feel are in the spirit of the challenge.
    Thank you and have fun.

  • Hmmmm {{Thinking}}
    This could be an interesting twist..... how long could your Sim live in a tiny house and still meet the goals of this challenge?
