--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REQUIRED GAME SETTINGS
Under Gameplay tab in the Game Options menu select the following:
-Autonomy - Full
-Fill Empty Home - No

-Instruct The Drifter to quit their job if they have one (they must remain Unemployed during Part 1)
-Save your game
-Make a backup save (Start of House 007 Part 1)
*I highly recommend that you make these separate game save files so that if you are unsatisfied with how things turn out or you experience a House Challenge fail, you will have the option to redo House 007 Part 1 without losing all prior world progress

THE PLAYABLE SIM THIS HOUSE CHALLENGE IS:
-The Drifter (the previous heir coming from House 006 if you are continuing)
*The Sim you created if you are just doing House 007
*All other Household Sims are considered non-playable who may only be controlled using options available through their portrait in the bottom left hand corner

REQUIRED GOAL OF HOUSE 007 PART 1
1. Conduct an Elimination Competition (using the structured days and rules below)
*The Contestant who wins the Elimination Competition will join The Drifter in Part 2

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

*The following Whims should be dismissed:
Ask On Date, Ask to be Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Propose To, Get Married To, WooHoo For Baby With
-If a Contestant dies, they are no longer eligible to participate in the Elimination Competition

IT IS A HOUSE CHALLENGE FAIL IF:
-The Drifter dies
