  • Great idea thank you! when i have the time i will make a lot that can be used without outdoor retreat and edit the rules!

  • I'm playing this, and I'm trying to adapt it for Island Living. It'll be interesting to see how the different world affects it.
  • Hey there, saw your challenge and it just might be worth noting that you might want to make a lot that works with just the game pack, so everyone could participate. Should be easy enough as long as you're okay with sims using a bbq opposed to a camp-fire, benches and such (in this case you could just pretend that the island had once been inhabited, and whoever had previously lived there left behind only the bare minimum for your castaway sim to stumble across).
  • Gonna give this a try, but I have to modify the rules since I don't own the packs needed haha Probably just gonna use Newcrest since it's already empty :P

    @TheGeekGamez so what do the sims do on Saturday, Tuesday , and Wednesday just wondering?
  • Just want to suggest an addition that I use when I play this challenge:

    Finding ‘wreckage’

    Time capsules and upgrade parts are wreckage that you find on the beach.

    Crystals and ‘periodic’ cubes can be used to ‘build tools’ to assemble your wreckage.

    * NOTE: Your tool is ‘broken’ after use, you need to go and find more material.

    •Sell your wreckage and buy something EQUIVALENT to the value of the sale. (Do not open the capsules, get your 70 simolions! If you open a capsule to get the statue for your collection it is void of sale)

    •ONLY buy things that can be considered as wreckage building material or finds in nature. Ex: Party Bush, wood furniture, stone furniture, (and themed CC), etc. Use your own honest judgment!

    •You can ‘collect building material’ by making junk piles on your property until you saved up the right amount for building.

    Tips:
    •A refined crystal helps you to build more advanced things.
    •If you want, you can pretend that crystals and cubes are clay to make pottery. (You must light your fire for this, if the fire spreads then your pottery fails and is void)
    •The flowers in your garden can be sold and be used as:
    - grain for food
    - material for clothes
    - material for straw furniture (maybe a simple bed?)
    •Fish can be sold for slightly more advanced clothing or furniture, since they can be used for needles and leather.

    Happy shipwrecking!
