Shipwrecked! A new Sims' gameplay challenge

Hi everyone, If you like building lots, and playing the game with a challenge this may fulfil those interests.

I have created a new gameplay challenge that involves playing the game, and building lots. If you want to give it a go, I'd appreciate any constructive feedback and suggestions. I'm already testing it and the link to both the challenge rules and my first chapter are below.


** I shall add each chapter as I finish it here **

  • @Jendowoz0612 The Marketable Trait is an in-game reward Sims can buy with Satisfaction points they earn by completing aspiration goals and whims, the same as Potion of Youth. So, no, it's not a cheat that you have to key in to use. It doesn't adjust Sims moods like the potions that can be bought, it just allows things your Sim makes to be sold for a higher amount of simoleons.

    It's fine if you think that shouldn't be allowed. Let me know. Thanks about the Spa! <3 Olivia has 325K in simoleons now so she's getting VERY close to being rescued! Yay! \o/ Once that happens I'll send her to the Spa to adjust the lighting, fill up the aquariums with fish and do some playtesting. I think she will have earned a Spa Day by then eh? :) I'll also take some overhead shots to show you, but I want to wait until Summer for any close-up screenshots to show off the build.

    Okay, back to the game! I just minimized it to check if you'd answered my questions before she starts making more tubs. lol
  • Hi again @Jendowoz0612 Just wanted to give a little update on Olivia. She's been rescued now! All the residential lots have Sims living there and the Two Hearts Spa & Gym is finished. Plus, I updated Olivia's home, it looks completely different. I decided she was probably sick of all the dark wood and went with everything in a lighter tone, blue and white outside, mostly green, white and light wood inside. She has a greenhouse now too.

    The biggest thing though is she met a guy at the Spa, a masseuse! His name is Preston Park. They hit it off right away! Yay! \o/ They're married now and she's expecting! Hoping for twins since I put the On Ley Line lot trait on her lot. I have a few (ok, a lot lol) pics, but still waiting for Summer to take some really good ones. Only a couple days away for that. I'll post a link to a slideshow of them once that happens.

    Here's a few pics of her newly remoded but still WIP home, Preston, their quickie marriage, pregnancy confirmation and a couple overhead shots of the Spa (taken at night, sorry about that) for now. :) I'll post day time close-up Summer screenshots (plus a few relevant Spring time when Olivia first met Preston) of all the different areas soon. Might want to click on the Spa pics (right click on the pic, open in new tab, then click the pic again) to make them bigger or it's hard to see what all is there. Or just wait until I post the close-ups.

    You can wait until I post the slideshow to display my completion pic on your blog if you'd like, that's cool. Olivia still needs to have her baby(ies) yet with one reaching school age before she's completely finished with this challenge anyway. Pics in the spoiler since there's a lot of them. o.O

    Hope you're having a great week! <3

  • @Jendowoz062 Aww, thank you for saying that! I had so much fun playing this challenge and it's not over yet really. Haven't actually been back to play Olivia for a few days. I got distracted with family life and Island Living. I'm SO excited for that EP! I hope it's alright with you that I plan to play your challenge again, only a bit modified to happen in Sulani on the Volcano island and include Mermaids somehow. I don't have any firm plans, but I know I want to use the new Off the Grid lot trait to play a Rags to Riches shipwrecked Sim in some way. :)

    You can still wait to post my award if you like or post it now, I'll leave it up to you. I will let you know when I'm fully finished though and post pics of the baby(ies) when I get back to them. Might be awhile and I apologize for that. o.O

    Have a great week and Happy Simming! <3
