The Super Sim Hypothesis Challenge

I've been inspired to try the super sim challenge again. but as I found that particular challenge a little boring, I've decided to add a little twist to it. Here's hoping it works. lol!
Thank you to the following simmers for the inspiration: @simgirl1010 , @Atreya33 , @mcrudd and @mightysprite.
Also to @IllusoryThrall for the master simmer challenge, which is the "twist" I'm adding. (except I'm only using ONE sim.)

Let's get started: (sorry if it's a little long).

The Backstory:
Name: Nova Power
Background: Born into a family of eccentric inventors and cosmic enthusiasts, Nova’s childhood was anything but ordinary. Her parents, Professor Orion Power and Celestia Stardust, were renowned astronomers who spent their nights gazing at the constellations and theorizing about parallel universes. Their cozy home in Oasis Springs, a quaint town nestled between desert land and shimmering lakes, was filled with telescopes, star charts, and peculiar gadgets.
Nova’s fascination with the cosmos began early. As a toddler, she’d toddle around the observatory, her tiny fingers tracing the paths of shooting stars on the glass windows. Her bedtime stories were not fairy tales but tales of intergalactic adventures—of brave astronauts, alien civilizations, and wormholes leading to distant galaxies.
But it wasn’t just the stars that captured Nova’s imagination. She was drawn to the mysterious energy pulsating through the universe—the same energy that fueled her parents’ experiments. They tinkered with quantum simulators, attempting to bridge the gap between dimensions. Nova would sit cross-legged on the lab floor, wide-eyed, as they discussed the Supersim Hypothesis.
The Supersim Hypothesis: It posited that certain Sims possessed latent abilities beyond the ordinary. These Supersims could master every skill, complete every aspiration, and defy the constraints of time. They were the cosmic anomalies—the ones who could bend reality itself.
Nova’s parents believed that unlocking the secrets of Supersims would revolutionize Simkind. They dreamed of a Sim who could paint masterpieces, compose symphonies, cook gourmet meals, transform into werewolves under the full moon, cast spells, and swim with mermaids—all in a single lifetime. And so, they named their daughter Nova, after the explosive birth of a star.
As Nova grew older, she absorbed their passion like stardust settling on her skin. She devoured ancient texts on alchemy, studied the constellations, and practiced her piano scales until her fingers danced across the keys like shooting stars. But it was during a fateful meteor shower that everything changed.
Nova stood by the lake behind their house, her eyes fixed on the streaks of light slicing through the night. And then it happened—a meteor crashed right in front of her. The impact left a glowing crater, and Nova felt a surge of energy. She touched the meteorite, and it hummed with power. Her parents rushed out, their faces a mix of awe and fear.
“Nova,” her father whispered, “you’re different. You’ve absorbed the cosmic essence—the very stuff of Supersims.”
From that moment, Nova’s destiny was sealed. She vowed to become the ultimate Supersim—to transcend the ordinary and rewrite the rules of Sim existence. Her childhood bedroom became a laboratory, filled with beakers, crystals, star charts, and a secret spellbook. She practiced every skill, chased every aspiration, and even dabbled with contacting aliens.
But it wasn’t just about personal achievement. Nova believed that Supersims held the key to cosmic harmony. If she could unlock her full potential, perhaps she could mend the fabric of reality itself. She’d be the bridge between dimensions—the one who could dance with the stars, whisper secrets to black holes, and howl at the moon as a werewolf.
And so, Nova Charm grew up with stardust in her veins, her eyes fixed on the night sky. She’d gaze at the constellation Simulon, its seven stars forming a perfect heptagon. Each star represented a skill, an aspiration, a piece of the Supersim puzzle. Nova vowed to align them all—to become the eighth star, the Supernova, illuminating the universe with her brilliance.
Her journey had just begun. Nova Power would defy gravity, rewrite her story, and leave a trail of stardust wherever she went. For in her heart, she knew that the ultimate Supersim wasn’t just a legend—it was her cosmic destiny.
  • Congratulations Nova on a very impressive childhood!

    I love how a girl with precocious Logic skill does her teenage introspection guided by the stars <3

    I'm not that familiar with the supersim challenge. Is it about trying to complete all the aspirations? Are you using aging?


  • 1. Drama Llama. Nova made light work of this one. She actually got a boost in popularity by being mean on Social Bunny. Maybe she's just running in the wrong crowd. lol.

    2. Live Fast. This one took the longest to complete. Waiting to be invited to a party took forever. I'm glad it's done, and so is Nova.

    3. Admired Icon. The only thing wrong with this one is the amount of followers Nova needed on social bunny. Thankfully, Nova had most of the 2500 needed from being mean earlier.

    4. Goal Oriented. The easiest of the teen aspirations. As you can see Nova had very productive teen years.

  • Nova is now a young adult, and this is where we enter the "Master Simmer" part of the Challenge.

    While the challenge is made to be done generationally, I'm just completing it with Nova. as per the rules of the challenge I will be rolling for each goal set. So if it seems a little back and forth, this is why.

    First goal set is:

    Set #9 Collector

    I think the achievements may be glitchy. Nova did harvest 50 plants but the achievement isn't pinging.

    so with that goal set done, we move on to the next one.

    Max the Fabrication Skill.

    Max the Juice fizzing skill.
    Send off at least one of all 8 different emotional juices for fizz enthusiast evaluation.
    Get the mark of the maker plaque by maxing out job performance meter as a freelance crafter.

    I'm also adding the Maker aspiration to this, as I don't see it anywhere else.

    Sorry if this is brief, but I'm further ahead in this, and I'm trying to play catch-up with posts!

    Let me know what you all think of this so far!!
  • Having been away for a while for a variety of reasons, I came back to find all my saves are gone. I've tried everything I can to get them back to no avail. 

    I may start this again at some point, but I'm not sure at the moment.

    Sorry to everyone who was following this.☹️
