The Disney Princess 10 Gen Challenge!
WELCOME TO: THE DISNEY PRINCESS 10 GEN CHALLENGE! SIMS 3: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/760184/the-disney-princess-challenge-10-generation-legacy MY CHALLENGE: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/809222/my-disney-legacy-challenge-11-jan?new=1 INFO: This challenge is based on the Disney Princess franchise and movies. Storytellers can follow the original stories or you can just roll with it. Some areas of this challenge ask for gender-specific heir/heiresses, this can be easily changed out if you're playing patriarchy or matriarchy. This challenge follows the original rules of the 10 Generation Legacy - although some rules may vary. If you own a particular expansion pack, then feel free to incorporate this however you would like, ideas will be provided as well with . Generation 1: Snow White "I'm wishing for the one I love to find me today" Founders have humble beginnings, so what's better than Snow White? To start, create Snow White. Storytellers may create her as a teenager and make her evil stepmother, but this is not a requirement. When Snow White becomes a young adult, this story begins. - Must be female - Must have 7 children (dwarfs) - Each child must have one negative trait (e.g Gloomy, Glutton) - Each child must have the same baby daddy - Each child must achieve something before their teenage years - this can be reaching level 5 in a toddler skill, reaching level 3 in all toddler skills, completing their childhood aspiration, or becoming an A grade student in school - Snow may never answer the door to strangers or talk to elderly women : Parenthood - each child must age up with at least one positive character trait. This number can be increased if you're looking for more of a challenge. Generation 2: Cinderella "A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep" Although you had six brothers and sisters, you always did the cooking and cleaning. Yet, somehow you loved it, as it transported you away from your chaotic home life. When Cinderella becomes a teenager, this story begins. - Must have 'Neat' and 'Foodie' traits - Must clean the house every day and cook every meal - May not marry until her mother dies (This does not have to be of old age, but it may not be cheated) - Have a maximum of 3 children Generation 3: Tiana "The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work" Your family has barely accomplished anything over the past two generations, and you're here to change that. This story begins when Tiana becomes a YA. - Must have 'Ambitious' trait - Father must die before the end of YA - Must have food Aspiration - Must marry a Sim with green (This can be hair, eyes, skin etc) : Dine Out - Tiana must own and run her own restaurant Generation 4: Aurora "I walked with you once upon a dream" Thanks to your mother's hard work, you have everything you always wanted in life, apart from love. Your father was overprotective of you, and rarely let you out of the house. This story begins when Aurora becomes a YA. - Must have the 'Lazy' trait. - May only have 3 or fewer friends. (Family can count if you wish) - Must meet future spouse at night while parents are asleep - Elope (you can run away if you wish) - Have a maximum of 2 children - (twin girls are preferred if playing Anna or Elsa next) Generation 5: Anna "We only have each other, it's just you and me" Your sister locked you away and you never knew why.

When Anna is a child, this story begins. - Lose all contact with your sister until YA - Find love with a criminal - Experience near death at the hands of your lover - Find someone new after becoming BFFs with your sister - Marry, have one child Generation 6: Rapunzel "You were wrong about the world, and you were wrong about me" Your mother never trusted you or the outside world. You never knew of her past, and never wanted to. All you ever got was solitude, but that didn't matter. When Rapunzel is a teenager this story begins - Must have 'Loner' and 'Art Lover' traits - Must reach at least level 8 painting before YA - May only ever leave the house for school - May never have friends until the wedding - Elope - you have no friends anyway, have kids : Parenthood - Rapunzel's parents are strict, but otherwise she tends to be estranged from her family and will sneak out past curfew Generation 7: Belle "People think I'm odd, so I know how it feels to be different" You always loved books and visited the library often. You never cared for looks, just beauty within. Everyone wanted you, but you turned them all down. You wanted to choose your own destiny. When Belle becomes a YA, this story begins. - Must have 'Bookworm' trait - Date at least 5 men - Meet the man of your dreams - an ugly Sim - Marry, have kids - Your spouse becomes beautiful (Changed in CAS) after the firstborn child : Get to Work - Belle's spouse is different as they are an alien. Generation 8: Mulan "Could it be, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart" Your parents always wanted you to bring fortune back to the family and marry someone of high status, but you didn't dream of love, you dreamed of glory. When Mulan becomes a YA this story begins - Must have 'Active' trait - Must join Astronaut career - Fall in love with a co-worker once you reach the top of the career choice - Marry, have kids : Get Famous - Mulan's glory comes in the form of fame, and she quickly rises to fame through her achievements Generation 9: Jasmine "A whole new world, a hundred thousand things to see" You hated being rich and living like a princess.

If you wish to continue afterwards then Merida may marry and have kids) OPTIONAL GENERATIONS: Generation: Ariel "Someday I'll be part of your world" You've always loved the water and dreamed of becoming a mermaid. Sadly, this never came true but you did find the man of your dreams, and that was good enough. When Ariel becomes a teenager this story begins. - Must have a 'Loves the Outdoors' trait - Must own a pool and swim in it every day - Must marry a beautiful Sim with at least one trait the same as your own - Have kids Island Living - Ariel is a mermaid, adjust the above rules to fit the EP. Generation: Pocahontas "You think I'm an ignorant savage, you've been so many places, I guess it must be so." You come from different worlds, yet the love of your life is forbidden by your family. When Pocahontas becomes a teenager this story begins. -Fall in love with a "different" kind of Sim, (e.g a green or blue Sim) -Marry that "different" kind of Sim. -Run away and elope -Have a maximum of 4 kids Vampires - Pocahontas' different lover could be a Vampire Generation: Elsa "Yes I'm alone, but I'm alone and free" Your parents always questioned where your powers came from.

You can't trust anyone." You grew up in a divided world, with conflict all around you. You have always believed in the magic of the world and in others until your trust was broken as a child. When Raya becomes a teenager, this story begins. - Must lose her father to an accident - Have a best friend (Tuk Tuk) - Explore the world as a young adult and make friends along the way - Make enemies with a rival but unite in the end (Namaari) restoring trust and friendship in the world - Marry and have children : Strangerville - Use the Strangerville story as a way of dividing the world following the gem breaking (If after any generation you wish to end the challenge, you may not have kids. It is entirely up to you. I go by the motto that it's your game, play how you want to play) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Happy Simming!3MViews3likes3060CommentsSIMS 4 CHALLENGE LIST (Updated May 24, 2021)
The purpose of this thread is to create a current list of all available challenges for The Sims 4. This includes Legacy and many other type challenges. There have been other threads in the past, but they haven't been updated in at least a year, so here's a new one that will be much more up to date. Please feel free to add any new challenges in the comments! Any thoughts on how you would like to see this list formatted are welcome. Thank you to @Nicarra60 for all the work you put into the original post. I have organized the challenges below by "types" of challenge. Links to find each type are here: Legacy Challenges Toddler Challenges (Under Legacies) Gameplay / Story Based Challenges Building Challenges Sim Creation/CAS Challenges Rotation / Multi-Household Play Challenges Selection / Contestant Challenges Pets / Animals Challenges Holiday / Special Event Challenges Exploration / Scavenger Hunt Challenges TV / Movie Fan Based Challenges HOW TO SUBMIT A CHALLENGE 1. To submit a challenge to be added to the list, please include the challenge name and a working link for full challenge rules. 2. Challenges submitted MUST have their own forum thread or blog/website post for rules. Any challenges posted with rules within this thread will NOT be added to the list. 3. Read below for tips on creating a new challenge. 4. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Here are some excellent tips when creating a new challenge, written by @EuphorialQueen: When I am reading thru a new challenge suggestion I look for a few key items: What is the story behind the challenge? Tell me something to make me interested in reading more about the challenge. Is it based on another existing challenge? Is it a complete challenge with a beginning, middle and end? How do I start, how do I play and what is the ultimate goal or how do I 'win'? Do the rules or guidelines seem reasonable and can goals set by the challenge actually be achieved? Has the person posting the challenge play tested it? By posting a challenge on a blog or in the forums it is much easier to discuss and ask questions. When updating a challenge or change the guidelines just edit the thread where it is posted. Starting too many threads on the same challenge or subject only adds to confusion and leads to information being lost. These are only suggestions and offer a view of how I - as one person - review challenges. Thank you for your time. Edit: Use spell check and complete words to make reading your post more pleasant and easier to understand. Want to write stories about the challenges you play?

I've just started making and playing my decades challenge on youtube and the rules are too long for the description box. I figured here would be the perfect place to put them so I can link to them. It's still a work in progress (particularly the last 3 decades), but here goes. You start in the 1890's (I downloaded a bunch of appropriate clothing just to add to the feel) and I wanted to show the changing world in real time, which means the challenge starts out with some limits to marriage in regards to race and gender.

https://i.imgur.com/qkXexiw.png https://i.imgur.com/3gHHX7s.png https://i.imgur.com/TvmoeFJ.png Welcome to Build-n-Share. #BNS 182 Jack Frost comes Knocking https://i.imgur.com/0SEfaKr.jpg The weather just took a turn for the worse as an unexpected snowfall has just begun. You have sent everyone from the office home since you only have one more client to interview. You want to make sure everyone gets home safely before it really gets bad on the streets. Since it is Friday, this means a slow weekend in front of the fireplace with a good book. You smile at the thought as you make more hot cocoa with marshmallows. The bell on the office door jingles gently as someone enters, and you turn around to greet your client. He is a very tall and thin man with hair so black it shines blue. His eyes are a dazzling blue, and his lips have a ruby glow, probably from the cold blowing winds outside. He never left a name, so you are curious about him as he carefully stomps the snow off his shoes on the mat before walking towards you. You walk towards him with a piping hot mug of cocoa and greet him warmly. He returns the smile and follows you into the inner office. Once you are both seated and sipping cocoa he begins to talk. "This cocoa sure hits the spot!" he exclaims merrily. "What a delightful welcome! My name is Jack Frost-well, I should say it is Jonathan, but I have been called Jack since birth. I run a bar in the next town. I should say I ran one. It was very popular for years, but a tornado wiped it out last summer. I was devastated for a while, and I just could not see myself rebuilding over there. So I finally decided to come over here and build a new business." He takes another slurp of cocoa and sighs in appreciation. "What kind of new business are you looking to start?" you ask patiently, happy he likes your cocoa. "Well, that is the thing," he admits wearily. "I don't really know. My family have had many businesses, in the past as well as today. I want to do something different. I have two real loves. Now don't laugh! Art and dogs!" He chuckles. You join in his laughing at two such separate loves then prompt him, "Have you decided which you want to pursue?" "Absolutely not!" he says cheekily. "That part I am leaving up to you! I have $197,500 to spend. Make me a kennel or an art gallery, whichever you like. I will get the necessary licenses once I have seen it. The only two requirements I have are a large office with a private bathroom for myself with loads of green in it and a large break room with entertainment as well as food warming and a fridge. Employees deserve the best, in my opinion!" "That is very generous!" you exclaim, awed by the thought. You know many people who think of employees last, so it is good to hear someone of a different cloth. You continue to question him until you see a real trend towards one of the businesses. The snow is already ankle deep when you both finally leave and part in the parking lot. Your mind is swirling with ideas as you drive cautiously home in the blinding snow. The brief: -make either an art gallery OR a kennel to board animals. -budget is $197,500, including the price of the lot. -include a parking lot; landscaping; public restrooms; a large break room with entertainment, a way to heat food, and a refrigerator. -include things applicable to the business (art for sale, kennels with part fencing for animals, etc). -include a large private office with its own ensuite and shades of green! -include an entrance area with some seating and a desk or cashier area. Note: For those without any pet expansions, you can build a basic kennel with children’s toys as squeaky toys, there is no need to include animals. CC is allowed as well. The Room Challenge: -budget $35,500. -create the break room with entertainment, a food warming device, and a fridge. The Sim Challenge: -create Jack Frost and give his talents, likes, dislikes, etc. -show all his clothing options. -show him looking over his new business!

Hey guys, I have written the Asylum Challenge for The Sims 4! I took the challenge from The Sims 3 and re-wrote it to make sense in The Sims 4. I also added some difficulty modes to spice things up as well. If you think something should be changed, fixed etc. leave a comment in this thread or tweet me @NickM97 and I'll try and get back to you! I will update the thread when updates and expansions come out, so the challenge is still playable. If you experience any difficulties in the challenge, again let me know and I'll change things up a bit. :) Introduction Hi there, I’m Nick and this is The Sims 4 Asylum Challenge! The Asylum Challenge is one of my favourite challenges from The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, so I decided to bring it into The Sims 4 with its own little twists. This challenge was originally created by Scout for The Sims 2, then revamped for The Sims 3 by BlakeS5678. For those who do not know the Asylum Challenge, here is the backstory: "You have been committed to a run down mental health facility against your will. In order to prove that you are fit to rejoin society and earn your freedom, you must achieve the goals your psychiatrist has set for you – your aspiration. The catch? You need to achieve your goals as quickly as possible, while keeping 7 other patients, who you don't know and are out of your control, alive and as happy as possible. Add to that budget cutbacks leading to a lack of decent furniture and limited supplies, and your task gets harder." For this challenge there will be an easy mode, medium mode and hard mode, just to spice things up a bit. Setting Up Create your main sim in CAS. They must be a young adult. You can choose whatever you want for looks, clothing, voice and walk styles. They must have the insane trait and the other two traits can be anything except for custom traits. You can also choose any aspiration except for the following: -Successful Lineage -Big Happy Family -Super Parent -Fabulously Wealthy -Mansion Baron -City Native After finishing your main sim, create seven other sims. They all must be young adults and they must all have the insane trait. The other two traits and their aspirations can be whatever you want. (I recommend having a few evil, mean and romantic sims, just to make things interesting). None of the eight sims are allowed to be related. Next step is to build the asylum on a residential lot in either Willow Creek or Oasis Springs. The size of the lot does not matter. You can build the asylum yourself, download an asylum from the Gallery using the hashtag #AsylumChallenge or modify an existing house in Willow Creek or Oasis Springs. Money cheats are allowed when building or placing your asylum. Depending on your mode of difficulty depends on what objects are allowed in your asylum, but all objects must be the cheapest at the beginning (Cheap counters, cheap beds, cheap couches etc.). You cannot have objects in the asylum which affects sim’s emotions (unless the object was obtained through a career reward) or which prevents fires. When you have finished building the asylum you cannot modify further, unless sims get stuck in a certain area or your asylum saves up enough money for a new skill building item or when you can purchase an upgraded item. Pools are allowed but they are classified as a skill building item. When you have finished creating your asylum, your family funds must be at the required amount for your difficulty. To change the family funds you must first type into the cheat box “testingcheats true” (without quotations), then type into the cheat box “money (amount required). For example, for easy mode you would put "testingcheats true" followed by "money 1000" followed by "testingcheats false". Upgrading Objects When the asylum saves up a bit of money you can start replacing the cheap furniture and appliances with high quality furniture and appliances. You can only replace items, you cannot buy extra items. For example you can replace the fridge but you can’t have two fridges. You cannot upgrade objects in hard mode. Using the handiness skill to upgrade objects is allowed in all difficulty modes. Gameplay - You must only be selected on your main sim, you are not allowed to click on the other sims at all to check their needs. If they die, they die. - If you want to, at 12am, you can click on the other sims to check their inventory if they have books, food etc. When doing this your game must be paused. Cheats/mods/hacks which boost sim’s needs or skills are not allowed. High free will must be turned on, so the other sims in the asylum will do things by themselves. - You can not use your inventory to reserve items for yourself. For example, you can't put a book or guitar in your inventory just so no one else can put it in theirs. - The age settings can either be on normal or long, it’s your choice. - No rearranging of furniture to reserve or use something for yourself. For example, you can not move the TV into a bedroom and turn it on just to get an uncontrollable sim out of bed so you can sleep in the bed. Nor can you remove a door so others can't gain access to the bathroom so you can use it when you come home from work. - If a sim dies you must keep the grave on the lot, you must keep the grave on the lot. If their ghost gets too annoying (e.g. they keep breaking objects) you can banish their ghost. - Putting toilets and showers/baths in separate rooms is OK in all difficulties, as dying from embarrassment tends to occur too much. - Making your sim “work hard” in their career is ok, you cannot make the other patients “work hard” in their careers. Game Pack/Expansion Pack Changes **Outdoor Retreat** -Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration is allowed. -You can only travel to Granite Falls when you need to complete certain goals in the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration. -When travelling to Granite Falls you must bring all of your fellow patients with you and choose the campground as your destination. **Spa Day** -When completing an aspiration, you can reward your Sim with a trip to the spa. **Dine Out** -Your Sim cannot own a restaurant. -Your household cannot visit a restaurant. **Vampires** -Vampire patients are allowed. -Vampire aspirations are allowed. **Parenthood** -Super Parent aspiration is not allowed. **Get To Work** - Alien patients are allowed. - Active careers are not allowed as they require leaving the lot. - Your Sim cannot own a retail business - If a member of the Asylum is abducted by aliens and comes back pregnant, when they give birth you have to send the baby back to Sixam. **Get Together** -You can create an Asylum club for the patients, you cannot add outside Sims to the club. -Club perks are allowed for all levels of difficulties. **City Living** -Apartments cannot be asylums Difficulty Modes and Rules There are 3 different modes of difficulty for this challenge. Easy Mode: - Starting funds: $1,000 - Complete two aspirations, then you are free! - Can have the TV and the computer at the same time. - Two sinks, two toilets and two showers/bathtubs. - No more than 6 ‘bed spots’.

You are not allowed to level them up in their career. If they lose their job, they have lost it forever. Your main sim can have whatever job they like. (It is recommended that their job is related to their aspiration. For example a sim with the Master Chef aspiration should be in the Culinary Career) -You can purchase lifetime rewards - Having a maid and ordering pizza is allowed. - Can leave the lot to go fishing and collecting at anytime.

(When travelling to another lot you must bring everyone from the asylum along with you) - If a sim dies, 1 seat must be deleted until there is 1 seat remaining. Hard Mode: - Starting funds: $100 - Complete four aspirations, then you are free! You cannot have a TV and a computer at the same time. It is recommended that if your sim has the Computer Whiz aspiration for example, that you should have a computer - One sink, one toilet, one shower/bathtub. - No more than 4 ‘bed spots’. For example, you can have 4 single beds, or 2 double beds, 1 double bed and 2 singles - There can only be total seating for 4. That includes couches, lounges and chairs. If you have a dining table with 2 chairs then you may not use a couch that seats 3. - You may only have a total of 5 Skill Building items in the house, so choose wisely at the start. Computers, stoves, bookcases, mirrors, and TVs don't count as skill items. It is highly recommended to have skill items which make money, for example the easel. - Non-controllable sims are not allowed jobs. You main sim can only have a job if their aspiration requires it. For example the Master Chef aspiration requires your sim to be in the Culinary Career. -You cannot purchase lifetime rewards - No maids and no pizza. - Can leave the lot to go fishing and collecting between the hours or 12:00am-5:00am. Travelling to other lots is banned, unless your sim’s aspiration requires them to. In that, you can travel to other lots between 6:00pm-11:00pm. (When travelling to another lot you must bring everyone from the asylum along with you) - If a sim dies, 1 bed and 1 seat must be deleted until there is only 1 bed and 1 seat remaining. Aspirations In the difficulties it states that a number of aspirations must be completed. This refers to aspirations such as the Computer Wiz aspiration. It does NOT refer to groups of aspirations such as the all of the aspirations in the Creativity category. Scoring (Optional) +50: per aspiration completed. +1: per skill point any of the 8 Sims have at the end. Only living Sims count. +1: per 1000 Satisfaction points every Sim has. -20: per Sim that died. -20: per fire which has occurred. -20: per day when the power and water is shut off. (E.g. Power and Water shut off for 2 days =-40 points)769KViews2likes568CommentsNot So Berry Legacy Challenge
Not So Berry Legacy Challenge Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you! Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences. Basic Rules: Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun. The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them. Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward. You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation. Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep the lifespan on normal. If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry on twitter, tumblr, or even the gallery so we can see!763KViews1like758CommentsOne room, One week, One theme
http://i.imgur.com/i2li8o5.jpg?1 I thought that I would start a thread where Simmers can post rooms that they create based on a particular theme that is chosen for that week. There will be a theme given for the week, and during that week simmers can post rooms related to that theme. Come to this thread and post pictures of your room! It will not be a contest where there is a winner. The simming community is the winner because we all then have new rooms to download and use in our games/builds ! I just want to encourage everyone to post rooms. Your rooms will all be very warmly welcomed here! It will be interesting to see the different rooms that sims create based on the chosen theme! It will also give us new furnishing and design ideas! More information in the next posts!622KViews2likes26133CommentsThe Sims 4 I'm a Lover Challenge 10 Generations

Runaway Teen Challenge Rules I'd reccommend reading the rules on the blog since copying and pasting to here doesn't transfer very well. If anyone thinks of something that I missed you can comment on the blog post or on the thread here. Thanks! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-76qLfunInmM/VCjACHKJ_6I/AAAAAAAABe4/JNTO2tskPoU/s1600/09-28-14_9-56%C2%A0PM.png Rules adapted from StardustX’s original rules: You cannot build any kind of shelter for yourself until you have earned the simoleans to do so. You cannot have any electronics or appliances or cell phone access (put it on silent) until you have a home. (At least 1 kitchen, 1 bath and 1 bedroom) You can’t have a part-time job. You can’t have a full-time job when you are a young adult until you have a home. (At least 1 kitchen, 1 bath and 1 bedroom) You cannot cook/shower/etc on other people’s lots or interact with adults until you are a young adult. You’re a runaway they’ll report you as such. If your social meter gets low, you can interact with children or other teens. You can shower and use the bathroom at any public place like the gym. You can fish, garden and dig all you want and sell them. You can’t go to school. You have to cancel go to school each day. This will not affect traits. Each time you travel you subtract $10 simoleans from your funds using the money cheat. The goal is to survive. There are no “points”. You are simply trying to survive, start a new life for yourself. You should aim for having a high paying job, children and a big house. The main thing you are doing is getting money the old way by fishing, gardening, and collecting. Additional notes: Updated: The game now allows you to have a teen-only household starting in the 3/23/17 patch. In the years since I’ve adapted this challenge, I’ve only seen a few people actually make the 10×10 area on their lot. I can’t blame them. I was just trying to find a way to stick to the Sims 3 rules as much as possible and in that game, you could create a 10×10 lot. So forget lot sizes! Putting in a bunch of landscaping to box in an area makes the bills high. If you opt to make the teen look grungy and unkempt (which is kinda hard in Sims 4 without CC anyway) then you should “buy” them nicer clothes in CAS as soon as they’ve made a little money. Looking like a bum will attract too much attention. If you don’t want to use the money cheat each time you’ve traveled to subtract $10, which frankly gets annoying really quick, purchase the directional arrows that came with the base game. You may place one free wall on the lot for the arrows. Cheat yourself $60. The new shrinking option using the [ bracket would be helpful here and it might be fun to make designs on your traveling wall. If for whatever reason you are opposed to the new traveling wall you may elect to purchase a mega houseplant pot for every time you travel and the return trip. Not going to school is much easier if you que up some actions before 8am. Then you can just cancel out the “go to school” action. If they go to school you need to make them go home. Some players have sent their teens to school stating that it would attract more attention not going. It’s up to you but I’m keeping the rules as per the originals as much as possible. There still aren’t sleeping bags so if you don’t want to sleep on the bench, which I suggest, you can buy an Outdoor Retreat tent or a Get Together party bush before dropping your funds to $0. In my opinion, a runaway having the money for a bed seems unrealistic. To drop your funds do cntrl+shift+C type testingcheats on and then money 0. Your teen may move from lot to lot or apartment to apartment if you wish. Perhaps they’re trying to keep under the radar by moving around. Putting your phone on silent is pretty pointless in this game. It doesn’t work without mods so just try to ignore all of the texts and invitations that pop up every day. No accepting invites unless it is from another teen or a child. At the very start of the challenge if you’re not keeping all of the pre-made sims in the game I would suggest either creating or downloading from the gallery a household or more with teens and children so that your teen will have someone to socialize with. See also the rule regarding clubs to make this easier. Outdoor Retreat: Your runaway may take a vacation to Granite Falls but may only camp at the campsite, not the cabins. Socializing should be treated as if they were at home. Teens and children only. Spa Day: You may add a spa to your game and use this as an additional place to shower and up your needs. Dining Out: You may add a restaurant to your game and your runaway can eat there if they have the funds and use it to up other needs. This may draw attention so it would be preferable if they invite another teen or child to dine with them. Vampires: Your teen can be a vampire since this doesn’t affect aging in the teen stage but I have no idea how it would be possible to make money without burning to a crisp. Perhaps if they lived in an apartment and only collected things to sell in the dark? Get to Work: Your teen can be an alien Get to Work: Your teen may visit retail lots and planet Sixam. It would draw less attention if they visited retail lots with other teens or children. I’ve had players mention making or downloading retail lots from the gallery and using them to shop for all of their household items to make it more realistic as well. Get Together: Your teen can be in a club but only if this club is other teens and children. This would be an easy way to meet them for social as well. No starting meetings on the home lot, you must travel for meetings. City Living: Your teen may start in an apartment. For more difficulty pick one with the “Needs TLC” trait. I would highly suggest against the Gremlins trait until your teen has enough handiness to repair electronics. City Living: Substitute the rule for a tent or party bush with a blow-up mattress or cheap bed if you opt to start in an apartment. City Living: Your teen can visit any of the festivals. It’s best if they bring another teen or child along to blend in. City Living: Your teen can collect globes and posters to sell but cannot have a street table to sell things until they are a young adult. It would draw too much attention. City Living: You can freely order from vendors. Any teen would do this. If adults talk while you’re eating it’s fine to respond but you must leave after finishing. It would look very suspicious if the teen suddenly got up and moved when someone made conversation. In my and others experience, it’s almost impossible to eat in a park or in the city without some darned adult striking up a conversation. Canceling it out gets very annoying. City Living: You can only visit a karaoke bar with other teens and children. This would be a great place for a club hangout. Parenthood: Skipping school will give your teen the irresponsible trait. Thanks to TigerLover for letting me know that you can combat this through the use of school projects bought from buy mode, taking out the trash, brushing teeth, feeding pets, cleaning litter boxes, and training dogs. She was able to get the responsible trait when a few days before her teen aged up she had a full red bar. It is doable with some work. I’d highly recommend at least preventing them from getting the irresponsible trait. Especially if you plan to get them a job when they age up. Cats and Dogs: Just as in Sims 3 you can adopt a pet or befriend a stray. Be sure you can afford all of the items that the pet will need first! You can also use them to search for collectibles to sell. From what I’ve seen so far it can be very lucrative. Laundry Stuff: You may purchase the wash basin and clothesline for your home lot for realism. You may not purchase the washer and dryer until you have an enclosed space. You may add a washer and dryer to one community lot. If you’d like to you can remove some funds for their use but that is entirely up to you. Seasons: You may add to the map a lot for a shelter with no amenities beyond a pee bush to put up your tent or a cheap cot/air mattress. Examples would be an abandoned warehouse, an old barn, ruins of some sort. It might be a good idea to also add a campfire or bonfire for heating in the winter although they can survive freezing temps while in a tent or even a mattress on the ground. Seasons: I can’t see a reason why your teen shouldn’t enter the scouts. Despite it being dubbed a part-time job it isn’t. They make no money and are surrounded by other children and teens and thus should blend. The bonus to this is that a lot of the badge tasks are also ones that raise responsibility if you have Parenthood. Get Famous: Let’s pretend Drama Club is separate from the school like scouting so it’s allowed. Perhaps it’s a club sponsored at the local theatre. Get Famous: I feel that since the goal of this challenge is to stay anonymous and out of the limelight that going out of your way to gain fame goes contrary to the challenge itself and thus is not allowed. See below for an alternate ruleset. Get Famous: You can use the music producer setup for income but may not use the video production one unless following the alternate ruleset. StrangerVille: You may live in StrangerVille and complete the mystery and it’s aspiration. This would be really fun to have your teen living in a bunker! You are only allowed to speak with and befriend 1 scientist, 1 military personell, and 1 conspiracy theorist. Perhaps your teen can lie about their age. *new* StrangerVille: Bugs and their use are considered electronic devices thus requiring 1 kitchen 1 bath 1 bedroom first. Keep in mind the size doesn’t matter and the kitchen/bedroom can be one divided room. *new* Jungle Adventure Alternate Rules… At first, I’d planned to have the rules for JA the same as Granite Falls. But, MyInnerSim had the idea to have her teen live primarily in Selvadorada. So, we brainstormed and came up with this alternate version of the rules: There is no camping area like there is in Outdoor Retreat. And, assuming your teen will be spending the bulk of their time in the jungle and cannot return home except on the weekends there will be a little world editing needed before leaving for their trip! Bulldoze the smallest cabin lot to rent for your time there. There is access to all of the amenities you will need all over the place so if you’d like you can leave this lot with nothing on it. If you’re set on having a home-base of sorts you may add some items to the camp. Before you leave for your trip you will need to make some money and subtract the cost of these items: An outhouse or fenced in area with the cheapest toilet and shower, a grill, and a picnic table. If, and only if, you don’t own Outdoor Retreat and thus don’t have access to tents you may build a small shelter for a cheap bed or hide it behind some foliage or a fenced-in area. You may add to the cantina lot a computer to purchase a poison antidote (§1,000!!!) or skill books and a single GT bar game such as darts. You may add a woodworking table to the museum. Everything else should be portable items. (Your teen has a bunch of large rucksacks that they carry the things in and/or hides away.) The following are some suggestions: yoga mat or meditation stool, guitar or violin, camera, journal (mood swings in jungle eek!), any camping gear such as a tent, cooler, and portable shower, books, and if you elect to have a pet a portable bowl, ball, bed, and litter box if it’s a cat. Personally, I’ve always considered Granite Falls to be close to the regular neighborhoods. Perhaps a bus or train ride away and there are usually the same sims from the ‘hoods camping there. In this, Selvadorada is different. I’d think they would need to take a small plane or helicopter to visit there. And the locals are used to seeing tourists and don’t take much notice of them other than to sell their wares and tell their tales. So, for trips there only- you may converse with local sims older than a teen. If you are unsure if they are a local introduce yourself and if they are there will be options to ask about the jungle, etc. If not say goodbye and walk away. Your teen can visit only occasionally if you want but if they will spend the bulk of their time there the following applies… Your teen may return home to their lot to stash their treasures and work on their house on weekends when the other teens are out of school and they won’t draw notice since the sims in the area won’t be accustomed to seeing them around. If you’d rather wait until the end to build the house and pretty much live in Selvadorada and just build all at once you can. Get Famous Alternate Rules… Your teen ran away to seek fame and fortune. In this case, perhaps they are just estranged from the family and not hiding from them. You may use the music and video production and drones to earn income and fame. You may “fangirl” over the stars since that’s a very teen thing to do. As you are still trying to keep a low profile since you’re not attending school, you shouldn’t go out of your way in public to draw attention to yourself such as playing instruments in clubs. There are no points. There is no endgame or goal other than building a nice home/apartment for your teen. Most people continue playing their teens once they are young adults. Some have used them as the founder of legacies or other challenges. This would be a fun way to create a background story for your founder since you get to play it out.589KViews1like444Comments
