Rags to Riches with a a twist
With the recent launch of horse ranch, I felt like doing a new farm focused rags to riches. Unfortunately I can't get horse ranch just yet, hopefully in a sale at the end of the year. So my rags to riches is focused on cottage living.
I wanted to do something different than just taking a new sim straight out of CAS. I really like to play sims with unique inherited traits. So I started of with a spellcaster who was destined to fall in love with a sulani island elemental. The result would be a child with the sulani mana trait and the weak spellcaster bloodline. But why stop at 2 traits if I could also get a 3rd one like the dormant werewolf trait. So the sulani spirit happened to become a werewolf. Now this is where the plan went wrong. I didn't get a dormant werewolf trait for a few tries. I got tired of exiting without saving until I had the trait. So I told myself the next time, I will keep the sim no matter what. And that's how I ended up with a werewolf for my rags to riches.
Of course a werewolf alone was not enough. I decided she would start the rags to riches as a teen for a bit more challenge. I also applied all lot challenges available to make it even more difficult. So far I am enjoying my rags to riches. My teen has a modest garden, a tent and is on her way to find the cure for lycanthropy.
Here is part of Emma's story.
Is anyone else playing rags to riches? Do you have any additional challenges or rules to make the challenge even more challenging?

Spoiler
Her name was chosen by my daughter.
Emma started as a cheerful young toddler and grew up in a loving home with her mother Paulien.

As a child she was curious to learn more about the stars. She occasionally had angry tantrums because of tooth aches or an unexplainable bad mood during the full moon. This didn't stop her from becoming an A student at primary school and participating in the local scouts.

But then came her Birthday to become a teen. All the bad signs were there. Her birthday party was a full moon with a thunderstorm (I didn't plan these circumstances btw) Before the party was over, poor Emma manifested as a werewolf.

She wrecked havoc in the otherwise quiet town centre of Henfor on Bagley, only to wake up alone and bewildered in Moonwood Mill. Too ashamed to return home, she took refuge in the remote bramblewood and tries to survive of the land.

After a rought start, her little garden is slowly growing and bearing fruit
