[Sims 4] Prison Escape Challenge

@GogoM I hope you try it! :D The build itself took me about a week to build on-and-off. I started with an empty 50 x 50 lot and built the watch towers and the outer walls first, then worked my way in. I knew the main rooms I wanted and their approximate locations. I knew I wanted a centralized cafeteria, a workout area, and the cells, but they couldn't exactly be right at the front of the prison. I filled in the front of the prison with auxiliary rooms that made sense (like the reception area, the visitation rooms and the interrogation rooms).

The challenge was brewing in my head while I was building though, so I knew that I wanted to make each floor have progressively better items, so people won't need to replace beds/computers, it would already be ready for them as they leveled up in the challenge. The characters took about 2-3 days to make in CAS because I literally chose all of their outfits for every occasion using only base game items. It shows a lot of packs, but I think it's because I used the randomizer. I use PS4 so I had to transfer my screenshots to my computer, then I had to label the images and write out the challenge rules. That took about 3-4 days. Playtesting and making sure the lot works took me another day or two. There was actually a moment of panic when I had the sims move in and they couldn't even go inside the lot xD I thought, OH MY GOSH.. Did I just spend 2 weeks building for nothing? Thankfully another user told me to save the lot to the library, bulldose and replace the lot using the library save and that worked.

So yea. xD Before writing down the challenge step-by-step I swear it was a gigantic jumbled mess in my head and tablet 8'D It was like untangling Christmas lights 8'D

@mercuryfoam Thank you! I'm glad you like the build ^_^ I totally understand about reading the story buy not doing the challenge. When I have an idea for a household, I'm super hyped... But by the time I finish building a lot and creating the characters, I'm already too tired to play with them 8'D

Storytelling is probably my weakest point. I enjoy building the most. I actually hadn't created the backstory until I was sitting on the forums typing up the challenge rules.

For those who are only interested in the story and not necessarily doing the challenge itself, here is a screenshot of the basement:


Here's what happened on Day 1:

^ I have seasons installed, and it was raining. Atmospherically, it was giving me the creepy vibe xD

I moved the Sims in and I was busy taking screenshots... By the time I remembered to lock the doors, the Joker was already halfway down the basement ladder...

*WHERE HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO TO..* Anyways, he's causing me trouble already and he wanted to go "Troll Teh Forums" and apparently cause a fire (if his whim icon is anything to go by). At least I know his personality is on-point. xD

The guards all congregated in the guard breakroom.. I did NOT group them there, they just went there on their own, and started watching romance on a blank tv. Pretty sure this place is haunted, but I didn't put that Lot Trait there :o

Three of the inmates tucked themselves in bed and went to sleep. Bless their little sim AI hearts.
