Hey folks!

I’m back after a brief hiatus (6 months, not so brief) so I could I work on some other projects. 

I played cottage living for the first time yesterday and as I was playing I came up with a challenge I’d like to do that I think could be quite interesting!

It will have the rags to riches feel as we will be starting out with a flat piece of land and no cash. From there we will build up a farming empire...

Wheres the challenge in that?

Well, with the new simple living lot challenge, you can only cook from the menu using ingredients your sim has in the fridge/inventory. And I got to thinking, what if my sim HAS to make and consume every cooked dish from skill 1 - 10 in both regular cooking, baking and gourmet!

AND she can only use ingredients she has farmed herself. So there will be no sneaky grocery deliveries, or buying food ingredients from the farm stalls, if shes not picked, milked or laid the item it doesn’t count!

I’ll be keeping a handy dandy spreadsheet of all the items we have eaten so I can keep track, but I would love to hear your thoughts on this challenge. PLUS if you have ideas for extra rules that might make it fun/challenging, then let me know!

Re-population Challenge

The Founder Sim

Create any type of founder sim and start with 20,000 simoleons. They can be customised however you want them to be, and place them on any empty lot in any world. 

They will then become the sim who repopulates every world, so you might want to keep them alive as long as possible, alternatively you can pass the responsibility down through a long line of heirs.

The way in which the world will be populated is through completing aspirations and earning money, everytime your founder/heir completes an aspiration tier. (not a whole aspiration just one of the tiers 1 to 4) a new sim/family (of your choice) can move into town. 

Your founder sim CANNOT swap between aspirations, once they choose one they must stay on that one till it’s completed before moving onto the next one. This will create more of a challenge when trying to repopulate the world, as you won’t have many sims to start with.

New Sim in Town

The way in which we will calculate the starting money for each new sim is through rolling a number using any random number generator (I just use Google’s)

First roll between 1 and 5 to find out what bracket to roll from. Then roll between the top and bottom number (see table below) for the amount they will start with, this will create diversity in the world. 

Once you’ve figured out how much they will start with, it’s time to create your sim/family! 

They can be whoever you want, pre-made or brand new. 

Randomise their traits and aspiration, this gives more variety to your new town and adds some extra fun!

Move the new sim into an empty lot in any of the worlds and build/download a house within their price bracket, you may also give them a career.

This sim/family will then become unplayable, they will just act like the premade townies you’d find in a new save, before I deleted them 😈.

(Having the MC command centre mod will allow the unplayed sims to create relationships and further story progression in the town, but is not essential, you can play with them if you want to)

You can find this mod on the deaderpool patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mccc_deaderpool/posts

Commercial lots

For every FULLY completed Aspiration, a new community lot can be built.

IMPORTANT: Be mindful when selecting aspirations, as some require certain community lots and certain amounts of sims to complete. (I.E fitness aspiration requires a Gym and the popularity ones require you to talk to huge amounts of people) 

You can choose which lot you want to build/download, but again take into consideration your NEXT aspiration choice and what commercial lots you may need to complete it. 

PETS MAY NOT BE ADDED TO HOUSEHOLDS UNTILL YOU HAVE A WORKING VETINARY CLINIC.

Collector’s Legacy Rules!

My idea for this challenge developed alongside my aspiration of completing all of the main collections in The Sims 4.

The overall objective is that each generation has its own collection to complete, along with extra challenges, until the end; when you are ultimately left with a museum full of objects and a graveyard full of sims.

I have written this challenge ‘base game-friendly’, so you can play no matter what DLC you own. DLC required for an objective will be in brackets.

I welcome extra ideas, screenshots and links to people’s videos of this challenge, part of the fun of making this challenge is seeing what you will do with it!

Now for the rules…

You can create any sim.

Move your chosen sim onto any empty lot, you may start with 20,000 simoleons or if you want to be more extreme you can start with 5000.

You can turn aging off if you want to.

You can have as many children as there is space in the household. (No limit per generation)

You can choose which sim is the heir.

The heir must move out when they reach young adulthood, unless it states otherwise.

Each heir receives 5000 simoleons when they move out. You must use the Money X cheat to set to 5000. No other money cheats allowed.

The heir must move onto an empty plot of land. You can bulldoze a lot if need be (except in generation three).

Aim to complete the collection and objective before moving on.

Unless specified, traits and aspirations can be chosen and swapped during the generation played.

If your sims collect items not in their generations collection list, they must sell them. Passing on to other generations is not allowed.

When each generation is complete, move the objects to a ‘museum’. How ever you do this is totally up to you. (One idea is to buy a retail lot that you pass down to each heir when they reach young adulthood. This way, the items can be put into the lot and you can add a gift shop or cafe for the retail part of it.)

Lastly and most importantly; have fun, tell stories, evoke tragedy, celebrate success, live!
