The Colour Challenge

Hello everyone!

This is my first challenge! I tried my hardest, and tried to be as creative as possible. I'm sorry if it's not perfect, as I am new to this and have never made a challenge before.

Challenge Summary:
8 sims, all representing a popular colour, have been selected to compete for a prestigious title: The best colour in the world. While living in the same house, they must fight for the title by competing in difficult daily challenges, earning points and completing whims and aspirations.

Rules:
Sim lifespan must be set to long.
Sims must not leave the lot unless the daily challenge specifies that they should do so.
Other than that, there are no rules! Have fun!

Setup:
Begin by creating 8 sims. They can be Adult, Young Adult, Male or Female. Set all of their relationships with one another to Roommate. Each of them represents a colour: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet and Pink. These colours do not have to be their names, and the sims can look however you would like them to, but it is recommended that each sim has hair, makeup, clothing etc. which corresponds to their colour, so that they’re easier to tell apart.

Aspirations for these Sims MUST be the following, but you may choose three of the six recommended traits. However, no two Sims can have the same traits, so choose wisely! Note: If the More Traits mod is owned, you may use more or even all of the recommended traits!:

Red:
Aspiration: Deviance - Chief of Mischief
Traits: Hot Headed, Self Assured, Foodie, Evil, Mean, Romantic

Orange:
Aspiration: Popularity - Party Animal
Traits: Cheerful, Goofball, Clumsy, Creative, Art Lover, Good

Yellow:
Aspiration: Popularity - Friend of the World
Traits: Genius, Lazy, Creative, Bookworm, Geek, Ambitious

Green:
Aspiration: Nature - Freelance Botanist
Traits: Jealous, Loves Outdoors, Active, Squeamish, Materialistic, Neat

Blue:
Aspiration: Creativity - Musical Genius
Traits: Gloomy, Perfectionist, Music Lover, Art Lover, Self Assured, Hates Children

Indigo:
Aspiration: Knowledge - Renaissance Sim
Traits: Family Oriented, Childish, Loner, Genius, Perfectionist, Art Lover

Violet:
Aspiration: Fortune - Fabulously Wealthy
Traits: Snob, Materialistic, Mean, Ambitious, Outgoing, Evil

Pink:
Aspiration: Love - Serial Romantic
Traits: Romantic, Outgoing, Noncommittal, Mean, Creative, Childish

Once your sims have been created, move them on to an empty lot and begin building them a house. It must be big enough to sleep all eight of the Sims, and may contain as many skill related items as you like. In fact, it’s recommended to have plenty. You’ll need them later on. Note: Money cheats are by all means allowed. Be creative with the house!


Daily Challenges:

Every day, from the Sunday your Sims begin in the game until the corresponding day 2 weeks later, your Sims will have a daily challenge to compete in. Each challenge will award the winning Sim a certain amount of points. Whoever has the most points at the end of all 3 weeks is the winner! Note: If, for any reason, there is a tie in any of the challenges, award all winners the points. Eg: If 3 Sims tied in a challenge, all 3 of them would gain 10 points. If you're doing an LP of this challenge, it might also be fun to let your viewers decide who won the challenge!

Week 1:

Sunday - Preparation Day
As it is the first day your sims will spend together in the house, there is no challenge today. This will be a day for your sims to get to know one another and settle in.Spend the day working on your Sims whims, aspirations and skills.

Today’s challenge: To catch more fish than any other Sim. Take all your Sims to a park, lake or area containing a body of water. Make them fish for as long as they possibly can! The Sim who has caught the most fish by the end of the day earns 10 points.

Thursday - Meet And Greet
Today’s challenge: To make as many friends as possible. Take all your Sims to any public place, where lots of Sims are sure to be. The park, library and gym are recommended! Each Sim needs to use their social expertise to gain as many friends as they possibly can. The Sim who has gained the most FRIENDS (NOT just acquaintances!) by the end of the day earns 10 points.

Note: At the end of the day, sign all your Sims up to the same career. It MUST be a career which means that they will begin work the next day.

Friday - Career Challenge
Today’s challenge: To excel at a certain career. Until it is time for work, the Sims must try their best to complete their daily challenge and get in the ideal mood for work.

Note: At the end of the day, all Sims must quit their jobs, as they will just get in the way of other challenges and activities.

All Sims must try their hardest to win the heart of this Sim, using only their best flirting skills. However, none of them are allowed to spend more than 3 hours with the chosen Sim, so they must choose their actions wisely. At the end of the day, the Sim with the highest romantic relationship with the Sim earns 10 points. Note: Sims may NOT ask this Sim to be their boyfriend/girlfriend. They also may not WooHoo or Try For A Baby. All other interactions are allowed.

Tuesday - Independance Day

Today’s challenge: To have as much WooHoo as you possibly can. At the beginning of the day, each Sim must invite a Sim over to the house.

Note: Trying for a Baby is NOT allowed.



Final Week: Party Week
This is it, the final week of challenges for your Sims! However, the challenges are a little different this week. Every day, from the Sunday the week starts on until the final Sunday of the challenge, every Sim will take it in turns to throw a party. They must invite as many guests as they can, and aim to make the party the biggest, friendliest and most memorable party of them all.

The days on which each Sim holds their party are as follows:

Sunday - Red
Monday - Orange
Tuesday - Yellow
Wednesday - Green
Thursday - Blue
Friday - Indigo
Saturday - Violet
Sunday - Pink

At the end of the Pink Sims party on the final Sunday, the points are as follows:

The Sim who invited the most guests earns 10 points.
The Sim whose party earned the highest medal earns 20 points.

Additionally, before the final scores are calculated, some more point allocation should occur.

Award 10 points to the Sim with the most positive relationships.
Deduct 20 points from the Sim with the most negative relationships.
Award 30 points to the Sim with the highest level in any skill.
Award 30 points to the Sim with the most Aspiration Points.
Once the final points have been awarded, total up the points each of your Sims have earned. The colour of the Sim with the most points is crowned the best colour in the world. Which colour was it for you?

    @NimbobTheMarshmallow I think I'm going to try this! I usually play legacies but then I usually don't make it past gen 3 haha. I love anything that brings in aspects of rainbowcys/berry sims :smile: My game gets laggy with 8 sim households, do you think this would work just as well as a rotational challenge with aging turned off for non-active sims?


    Most probably. If that works better for you, then I would definitely recommend it. If you create any videos/threads documenting the challenge, please be sure to link me! :)

    This ia such a great challenge idea! I know its YEARS late but I've started this challenge in my own game. I am at the beginning of week two and orange and pink are tied! (I didn't do indigo cause I didn't really know what that looked like and I didn't really have any clothes in that shade lol.)


    Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy :)
  • Nice challenge! Has anyone come up with ideas of what to do with the winner? And losers?
