Home for the Gods

Rules

Simple Living and off the grid always!

You can now have bathtubs (not showers) and toilets (clay pots) in your home.

If you are playing as a female sim you cannot leave your home without a male relative as your escort.

War was common so often young men (teens/YA) would be sent off to train or go to war. (Will have to roll to see what men in your family get drafted and if they make it back home alive)

Women were expected to provide as many male heirs as possible to their husbands.

Welcome to Ancient Greece! This era lasted from 1200 BC to 146 BC.  but for this playthrough we will be starting somewhere around 50-30 B.C. Ancient Greece was well known as one of the most influential ancient civilizations and saw significant advancements in both arts and sciences, with contributions that continue to influence Western culture, including philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and various art forms like sculpture and architecture. With men spending most of their days going to Agoras (a town center) to drink, go to theater showings, and go to classes about different sciences. While women stayed home tending to the home and children while servants tended the fields and upkeep of the home.

Contrary to their Egyptian counterparts the Greeks valued cleanliness and often bathed in bath houses or had their own washing rooms in their home, with the wealthy having more elaborate bathing chambers. They didn't have modern soap but they would soak in tubs using oils and ashes to scent and wash themselves. When it came to using the bathroom middle and upper class families would have sitting benches with holes underneath and lower wealth families would use clay pots.

Even though medical practices were more common during this time, infant mortality was still high, but if they made it past their childhood some would live to their 50s or longer. To help with the high infant mortality on average, women gave birth to at least 6-8 children in their lifetime but only had maybe 3 make it to adulthood.

Common causes of death for individuals in this era were; Malaria, Mumps, Leprosy, Plagues, and Work-related injuries especially for those who worked in mining, metal working, and stone carving.

______________________________

Reasons to Roll

Sims Aging Up & Childbirth.

Every time your sim ages up or gives birth to a new child you have to roll a D20 to see if they live or die. Below is a chart that will tell you what numbers rolled with a D20 cause the sim to die.

Sick Emote (Slice of Life / Get To Work)

If your sim becomes sick you must roll to see if it is the plague, malaria, or tuberculosis.  You could also choose to play with the mod Deadly Sicknesses and it will auto pick which sickness you get. In this Era you now have access to doctors and medicine so your chances of living were better but not great. Or you could live with your sickness longer before it eventually takes you.

If it was a plague then there is a 75% chance of death.

Roll a D12. If you roll a 1, 6, or 12 you live. 

If it was malaria, or tuberculosis you have a 50% chance of instant death.

Roll a dice. Odds you die, Evens you live but you continue to live the rest of your life with the disease. Everyday you must consume garlic or honey. And doll a D20 every day. If you roll a 1 the disease finally takes you and you die.

If it was the common cold you have a 25% chance of death.

Roll a D4. If you roll a 1 you die. Any other number you live but you must have your sim rest for a full day where they can do no other activities. And drink plenty of fluids

If you have Get To Work and your sim gets strange markings on their skin they have leprosy and must visit a doctor and get medicine to treat it.

Treatment: if you play a historical save, you can brew a new potion with the herbalism skill (+6) to try and cure the sickness, this doesn't assure you that you will overcome it, but it gives a boost to your sim body... you still have to wait and see. If the illness is already too advanced then the potion will not work (from the second buff on). Your sims can also heal on their own, but it should be rare. If you want to be sure to cure the illness, then you can purchase a vaccine from the computer. The vaccine gives you the immunity from every illness in the mod. Scarlet Fever can be contracted only once... it your sim get it and survives, they cannot contract it again. There are no cures for Toddlers, but they are more likely to overcome the illnesses on they own. Same goes for NPCs (but they can start a pandemic).

Napping: resting will slow down the symptoms or actively bring them back if your sim has enough rest, while intense activities will speed them up.

Alimentation: tea, water, honey and healthy food will slow down the sickness, while bar drinks and junk food will speed it up.

Drafted into War

Every male child once they become a teen can be drafted to join the king's army and go to war for their country.

When a male ages into a teen, roll the dice to see if they are drafted into the king's army. 

Odds, they avoid being sent to the army.

Evans, they must leave home to join the army.

If they are enlisted you must roll D20 to see if they return home when they become a Young Adult.

Roll a 3, 10, or 17 they die while serving their country. Any other number and they return home scarred but alive.

______________________________

Getting Started

In this era we will be exploring low, middle, and high class living along with Olympic games, War, and interacting with the Gods!

The Gods: The Gods were viewed as powerful beings with human-like qualities, emotions, and flaws, but also with immense power and influence over the natural world and human affairs.

Upper Class: The upper class, known as the "aristoi" or "citizens," were primarily landowning, wealthy, and powerful, holding political and military authority and spent their days building their knowledge and wealth.

Middle Class: The middle class were free, non-citizen residents, who engaged in trade, and crafts, holding some rights but lacking political power and land ownership.

Lower Class: The lower class consists of people who were deemed poor and had to work very hard to earn a living. Mainly spending their time farming, tending to their sheep and goats, and fishing off the ports.

Even lower were servants and beggars. For more of a challenge you can start as a homeless beggar with no money and work your way up to lower class.

______________________________

Worshiping the Gods is very important! At least 1 sim from every generation (does not have to be the heir) must devote themselves to at least 1 God/Goddess and follow their path of worship. These will be different for each God/Goddess.

______________________________

I recommend starting with a household consisting of 2 brothers and their wives.

Lower Class:

Start $100 Simoleans and a small home, no personal bathroom to start (bath at bath houses) or have a wooden tub outside along with a pot to use the restroom in. You may also choose to use the public bath house in town.

Men in the family must start as either a shepherd (sheep/goats), farmer, or a fisherman. If you have multiple men or sons in your family you can do multiple ways of living. But your male heir should focus on refining a skill of their choice as they grow. (Pottery, Wood crafting, jewelry making, nectar… etc.)

Women in the family focus on keeping the house clean and having many children (at least 1 male heir). Cooking mainly meals of bread, grains and fish.

Have at least 1 male child make it into adulthood and marry into a middle class family. Most marriages were arranged by the parents. 

If one of your female children is marrying into another family your household must provide a dowry of $1000 to marry.

If one of your male children is marrying into another family the bride's parents give you $1000 Simoleans to help support their daughter's new life.

Don't forget to pay your taxes (bills) to your landlord since you can’t own your own land yet.

Middle Class:

You should be starting in a slightly better home and at least $1000 Simoleans to your name. Your home can now have a simple bathroom inside the home consisting of 1 bathtub and a pot to defecate in.

As the male heir of the family you grew up having more time to become skilled in a trade of your choice;

Pottery

Jewelry making

Carpentry

Nectar Making

It is your job to craft items to take to the Agora (Town Center Market) and sell your goods to other citizens. You can also take any fish/farm animal sellables to the Agora to sell along with items you craft.

Women in the family focus on keeping the house clean and having many children (at least 1 male heir). Cooking mainly meals of bread, grains and fish.

You aim to build your wealth as much as possible so you can afford a life of more splendor for your child so that they may dedicate themselves to their physical training and win the Olympics!

Have at least 1 male child make it into adulthood and arrange for them to marry a woman of Upper Class. Most marriages were arranged by the parents. 

Your male heir must find a wife of the Upper Class to marry. Her family will provide $5000 of dowry to help start their new life together.

If one of your female children is marrying into another family your household must provide a dowry of $1000 to marry.

If one of your male children is marrying into another family the bride's parents give you $1000 Simoleans to help support their daughter's new life.

Don't forget to pay your taxes (bills) to your landlord since you can’t own your own land yet.

Upper Class:

Due to your wife's family you have been given a fine home and at least $5000 Simoleans to start your new life. Your home can now have a lavish bathing room inside the home consisting of a large indoor pool/hot tub. A soaking tub, a pot to defecate in. You also may hire servants to help tend to things at home since you will be spending most of your time in the Greek Agora with the other male citizens.

In your young adult years you spend your days training for the honor to compete in the Olympics as you work to reach peak physical fitness. You train in endurance races, boxing, and lifting weights to help you with this.  

When you reach level 10 Fitness you may enter this year's Olympic games and make the journey to where the games are held!

The Olympics

You may want to temporarily move your sim into a separate household with other sims you want to be their opponents.

Each event has a Gold (1st), Silver (2nd), and Bronze (3rd) Medal.

Gold Medal - 10 Points

Silver Medal - 5 Points

Bronze Medal - 3 Points.

Must Compete in each of the events

Endurance Race

Have all competing sims start on one side of the map and race to a finish line on the other side of the map or designated area. Try to line them all up in the same position and start them at the same time.

Another way you can test endurance is to have all participants get on a treadmill at the same time and the last to get off wins.

Fighting/Wrestling matches

Have your sim fight each of their opponents to see who will come out with the most Wins!

Horse Racing / Chariot Races

If you have Horse Ranch pack you can have at least 4 sims ride on horseback and race to a specific location or finish line.

If you have the Bikes are horses mod you can have your sims ride chariots (Bikes) instead.

Or you can do both!

Darts

This event will stand in as our Javelin throwing contest.

Have each sim face one another playing darts. The sim with the most wins is victorious.

The Minotaur's Maze

For this final event make a winding maze and have each sim race to get through it first in one of two ways…

You can either select all sims to run to the end/center and see who gets there first or

You can put a reward item at the end. This could be a bed/food/entertainment object etc. And have each of your sims start at the beginning. 

Allow each sim to use their free will to make it through the maze at their own pace.

To spice things up you could also make a Minotaur sim to be an obstacle in the maze. If a sim encounters the Minotaur they must roll a dice to see if they get in an altercation with them. For this roll a D4

1 They escape the Minotaur unscathed.

2 They distract the Minotaur by pointing at the stars, outsmarting the Minotaur and are able to run away.

3 Your sim pees themself in fear and the Minotaur is so disgusted they leave you.

Your sim has a bladder failure but lives.

4 The Minator Attacks them.

Flip a coin. Heads you win and live.

Tails the sim is killed by the Minotaur.

If you sim receives the most Gold Medals or collective points they are the winner!

First Place - 10K Simoleons

Second Place - 5K Simoleons

Third Place - 3K simoleons

When you return home from the games you decide to retire from your training and dedicate your adulthood to pleasure. You spend most of your days at the Agora drinking, enjoying the local arts, listening to political debates, and socializing with friends and maybe even the pleasures of other sims that aren't your partner… Maybe even earning the attention from one of the Gods.

Have at least one child later in life with one of the Gods.

This child is immune to the death rolls (unlike their human siblings) since they are a demigod.

You must still find suitable partners for all your other surviving children.

If one of your female children is marrying into another family your household must provide a dowry of $1000 to marry.

If one of your male children is marrying into another family the bride's parents give you $1000 simoleons to help support their daughter's new life.

You can now own your own land and no longer need to pay taxes (bills).

One of the Gods:

You are a special child. One born from a human and a God. This makes you a demigod. Your father was famous among the locals at the Agora for their performance (for good or bad) in the olympics. Because of this they were always away from home, and you had free reign to grow up doing whatever you wanted. Your “mother” never cared for you because you weren't her real child. She just helped raise you because she didn't want to anger the Gods, but it was obvious she cared more for her real children. 

The servants tried their best to help raise you as well but due to your magical abilities they were not much help either…

Depending on which God/Goddess is your parent can help you decide what special powers your demigod child will have. This is up to you. Some demigod children in mythology had special powers such as increased strength, were physically stunning, had magical abilities, or had any number of special qualities. To make your demigod feel even more special you can make them an occult like spellcaster or mermaid.

This generation's path is up to you to be as creative as you want! Will they have to fight and prove themselves a hero? Travel to far off lands and have great adventures? Will they be good? Will they be mischievous? Will they be evil? Will they fall in love with a human, God, or some other mythical creature? The choice is yours. When you are ready you can move on to the next Era!

Horse Ranch

Summary: 

When browsing the internet for house listings you stumbled upon a beautiful home that needed a little bit of work. After thinking it over you decide you can't let this opportunity pass you by so you purchase it without seeing it in person. When the day finally comes and you arrive at your new home you learn it's a little more run down then you thought but that's not the only issue. The home appears to be a Petting Zoo! With a little more courage then you actually felt you tuck a hammer into your belt you decide to fix the place up and open it back up to the public!

The lot I used is called “Abandoned Petting Zoo” in my gallery. Gallery ID HayishMandy (The build is a rundown version of TheMissArtemis gorgeous petting zoo build on the gallery, so if you want the nicer version you can find it on their gallery)

How To Begin

Start with one young adult Sim and $2000

Make sure all available lot challenges are turned on EXCEPT OFF THE GRID! (you need power to run kiosks)

You cannot access the different rooms of your house or fill pastures until they are cleaned.

You cannot get another job, (including any spouses you must earn money from running your Petting Zoo as a small business and selling items in the giftshop. You can charge an entrance fee or hourly visiting price. You cannot raise the price of admission until the areas of your park are cleaned and more animals are added.

You cannot hire employees or ranch hands to help you at the petting zoo until you have an employee break room fixed up. Must be furnished with a couch, microwave, coffee machine, minifridge, and a table to eat at.

You may work through the rooms in any order, but you must complete each one before moving on to the next. If you start in the kitchen, you must finish the kitchen before moving on to the next room.

A room is considered complete when all the mess is cleaned, appliances repaired, and furniture restored or replaced. Once you restore an item, you can replace it with a new version of the same item (couch for couch, skill for skill, clutter for clutter), but the whole room must be finished before adding any new items (tv, decor, etc). What counts as a room? Any space separated by a door or fence.

I recommend working on the areas where guests go first like pastures, gift shops, food courts, and the vet office for taking care of sick animals.

Every room you finish earns one (randomly chosen) removed lot challenge. Once 3 lot challenges are removed you can add one lot trait of your choosing. Once you complete a room, you can remodel it and sell the original items.

The Barn, Pastures, and Exterior spaces like an area for guests to eat are also spaces that must be cleaned/repaired before the challenge is complete.

Adding Animals

You cannot add any animals until 1 pasture is cleaned/repaired. So I suggest you start by clearing a pasture so you can open your petting zoo. Each pasture is for a different size of animal. Small, Medium, and Large/Exotic. Any shelters in that pasture are considered part of the pasture and must also be cleaned to be considered finished. The barn is a room by itself and is not considered a part of any specific pasture.

It's better to start with small farm animals like:

Goats & Sheep (Ranch Pack)

Bunnies & Chickens (Cottage Living)

And then move up to another pasture with:

Cows & Llamas (Cottage Living)

And finally your last pasture that will hold large or exotic animals (feel free to get creative with animals off the gallery made with horses, cats, and dogs like:

Horses (Ranch Pack)

Donkeys (horse)

Zebra & Okapis (horse)

Lions, Tigers & Wolves (Dogs)

Monkeys, Ferrets, Red Pandas, & Sloths (Cats)

When the entire lot is clean and you have a thriving business with at least 10 animals can you consider this challenge a success!

Ultimate Decades Challenge

Welcome to HayishMandy's Ultimate Decades Challenge!!! We will be starting in the prehistoric Stone Age and working all the way to modern ti

Need Help finding Ancient Egyptian CC? Here is a link to a pinterest board I made!

Rules

Simple Living and off the grid always!

Start as a low class civilian or serf and work your way into the royal family through the generations.

Can only bath in bodies of water or springs. Indoor plumbing wasn't really a thing and most Egyptians went to the bathroom in the same place they bathed and drank… Hygiene wasn't great.

This challenge is considered a success when you have a sim enter the royal family.

Welcome to Ancient Egypt! For this era we will be starting somewhere around 50-30 B.C. Ancient Egypt was a civilization that developed along the Nile River over 5000 years ago and was one of the greatest civilizations in history. Life along the Nile was key to Egypts success. The water fed their crops and nourished the soil during flood seasons, and was also where people got their water, bathed, and defecated. 

Even though medical practices were more common during this time, infant mortality was still high, and most Egyptians didn't make it past their 40’s. To help with the high infant mortality on average, women had 4-6 children in their lifetime and valued family life.

Common causes of death for individuals in this era were; Tuberculosis, Malaria, Leprosy, Plagues, and Work-related injuries especially for those who worked in mining, metal working, and stone carving.

Reasons to Roll

Sims Aging Up & Childbirth.

Every time your sim ages up or gives birth to a new child you have to roll a D20 to see if they live or die. Below is a chart that will tell you what numbers rolled with a D20 cause the sim to die.

Death Roll

Sick Emote (Slice of Life / Get To Work)

If your sim becomes sick you must roll to see if it is the plague, malaria, or tuberculosis.  You could also choose to play with the mod Deadly Sicknesses and it will auto pick which sickness you get. In this Era you now have access to doctors and medicine so your chances of living were better but not great. Or you could live with your sickness longer before it eventually takes you.

If it was a plague then there is a 75% chance of death.

Roll a D12. If you roll a 1, 6, or 12 you live. 

If it was malaria, or tuberculosis you have a 50% chance of instant death.

Roll a dice. Odds you die, Evens you live but you continue to live the rest of your life with the disease. Everyday you must consume garlic or honey. And doll a D20 every day. If you roll a 1 the disease finally takes you and you die.

If it was the common cold you have a 25% chance of death.

Roll a D4. If you roll a 1 you die. Any other number you live but you must have your sim rest for a full day where they can do no other activities. And drink plenty of fluids

If you have Get To Work and your sim gets strange markings on their skin they have leprosy and must visit a doctor and get medicine to treat it.

Getting Started

Working your Way Through The Egyptian Class System

Pharaoh: Considered a living god, the absolute ruler with ultimate power. 

Upper Class: Included the royal family, high-ranking government officials (like the vizier), military commanders, and priests. 

Middle Class: Composed of scribes, skilled artisans, doctors, merchants, and some lower-level government officials. 

Lower Class: Primarily made up of peasant farmers, and laborers. This is where you will be starting.

Before starting make sure you create households in your world with these jobs and classes.

Lower Class

We all have to start somewhere. Time to build yourself up from the bottom to the top. Begin as a lower class serf to a well off middle class family. Your life will consist of cleaning, cooking, and tending to the families every whim for little to no thanks. Think of it like an Egyptian version of Cinderella.

Goal: Marry into the next class rank. Find a scribe, artisan, doctor, or merchant and convince them to marry you. The only way to improve your status is to marry up. Have at least one child make it to young adulthood.

Ultimate Decades Challenge

Welcome to HayishMandy's Ultimate Decades Challenge!!! We will be starting in the prehistoric Stone Age and working all the way to modern ti

Need Help finding Cavemen CC? Here is a link to a pinterest board i made full of Stage Age cc i used!

Stone Age Rules

Simple Living and off the grid always!

Eat plants and veggies raw

May Cook fish over fire May Cook meals with meat that you Hunt (hunting and foraging mod)

To call this challenge successful you will need to claim new territory and also have a child make it to adulthood. This is harder than it sounds…

Welcome to the Stone Age! This Era lasted from 30,000 B.C to about 3000 B.C. Prehistoric life was not easy with most cavemen never making it past their mid 30’s. On average prehistoric women gave birth to 8-10 children in their lifetime but that didn't mean every child survived to adulthood. Common causes of death for individuals in this era were;

Infection

Around 75% of deaths in the Paleolithic era were caused by infection, including diarrheal diseases that led to dehydration and starvation. 

Bacterial poisoningPeople suffered from bacterial poisoning through food, water, and contact like kissing. Diseases that are now treatable with antibiotics were fatal during the Stone Age. 

PlagueThe bacterium Yersinia pestis, which causes plague, has been killing people for at least 5,000 years. Some researchers believe that a new strain of plague may have caused the collapse of large Stone Age settlements in Europe. 

MalariaMalaria was a common infectious disease during the Stone Age, caused by mosquitoes. 

TuberculosisTuberculosis was another common infectious disease during the Stone Age. 

PredatorsEarly humans were preyed upon by large carnivores like sabre-tooth cats, giant baboons, cave hyenas, prehistoric bears, and leopards. 

ViolenceEvidence of violence in the Stone Age includes a massacre where one man had an obsidian blade fragment stuck in his skull, and another man had his skull crushed with a blunt instrument. Bones from across Europe also suggest Stone Age ritual killings.

Stone Age Life Expectancy - 30-40 years old

Infant Mortality 30%

Before Puberty 50%

Childbirth 2%

Adulthood 20%

Elder 0%

Reasons to Roll

Sims Aging Up & Childbirth.

Everytime your sim ages up or gives birth to a new child you have to roll a D20 to see if they live or die. Below is a chart that will tell you what numbers rolled with a D20 cause the sim to die.

Death Roll

Sick Emote (Slice of Life)

If your caveman becomes sick you must roll to see if it is the plague, malaria, or tuberculosis. 

If it was a plague then there is a 75% chance of death.

Roll a D12. If you roll a 1, 6, or 12 you live. 

If it was malaria, or tuberculosis you have a 50% chance of death.

Roll a dice. Odds you die, Evens you live.

If it was the common cold you have a 25% chance of death.

Roll a D4. If you roll a 1 you die. Any other number you live but you must have your sim rest for a full day where they can do no other activities. And drink plenty of fluids.

Kissing

Bacterial infections from intimacy were common in this age. So if you see your sims getting it on you must roll.

Roll a D10. If you roll a 1 your sim receives a bacterial infection and they pass away. You pick which sim passes from the couple.

Hunting

If your sim is going out to hunt (using the Hunting and Foraging Mod) you must roll to see if they make it back from their hunt. 

Roll a D20. If you roll a 1, 4, 16, or 20. They die.

Fights

If you see 2 sims fighting you have to roll to see if the losing sim gets a serious injury from their battle and dies from infection.

Roll a D20. If your sim rolls a 10 they get an infection and die.

Getting Started

Start in Sulani on the lot closest to the volcano. Make sure lot challenges, volcanic activity, quake zone, simple living, and off-the-grid are on. 

If you do not have Island Living, Oasis Springs is another good option. But you can use whatever world you prefer. Just make sure you start in a small lot with a challenge to it that makes it a starter territory that you will someday move from. 

If you have MC Command center you can choose to turn bills off since cavemen don’t pay lot tax’s… 

FIRE!!!

First thing you must do is discover fire! This is what separates cavemen from beasts! Be sure to place a firepit down and cook yourself your first meal. 

If you have Island Living you can also use the BBQ Pit to make your food.

Finding a mate 

Mates don’t have to be the same individual every time. It’s actually best to spread your genetics around. But if you are a male and get a female pregnant outside of your household they don’t count towards your goal of having a child survive to adulthood. Only your current household children count. But bonus kids are still good to have. You can choose to switch up your mate if you find a better match. So you can move an old mate out if you find a stronger mate. Or get a new mate if your old one dies. 

Build Your Skills

Fitness

If you want to stand a chance at surviving you'll want to build your skills. Fitness is vital as it will help you with your endurance in hunting and for defending your territory or claiming others.

Creativity

But life as a caveman doesn't all have to be work. Be sure to build your creativity. Painting is a great option for this. Along with carving wooden sculptures. Some cave people also enjoy plucking strings on a wooden box.

If you have city living you can also paint large murals on the floor and wall.

Foraging / Gardening

Understanding what's safe to eat and what's not is vital to your survival. So make sure you get comfortable exploring your local plants and do be afraid to get your opposable thumbs dirty!

If you have Littlbowbub’s Hunting and Foraging mod you can actually build a foraging skill by clicking the sign post that comes with the mod.

Fishing

With your trusty tool (a stick with a string) you concur the water by learning how to fish for food. Whatever you dont eat you could always sell or trade to other cavemen.

Man's Best Friend

Sometimes it's a little lonely on top so why not let a four legged beast serve as your companion? To domesticate an animal you must find a wild (stray) animal and reach good friend status before adding them to your family.

Building A Tribe

Survival is hard if you're trying to do it alone. Best to group up. Go forth and find that special someone to share a cozy cave with and get busy! You'll need to start spreading your superior genetic code all over. The more children you have the better chance your legacy will live on. Most cave women had between 8-10 children in their lifetime. But not all made it to adulthood. 

Try to build a tribe of 8 or more (if you have MC Command Center) individuals. Your goal is to see at least one, if not more, of your children make it to adulthood and successfully start their own family. Ensuring your line will live on.

Expanding Your Territory 

Things starting to feel a little cramped? Tired of dealing with frequent volcanic eruptions and quaking earth? Time to set out and claim your own territory. Start by locating a piece of land you like. Second, you will need to chase away anyone living in that area. To do so you will need to fight all individuals (of fighting age) and win those fights. After defeating your foes the land is yours. Marking your territory also helps get the message across…

Golden Elder

If you have a caveman reach adulthood with at least 5 skills filled you have reached golden elder status! Congrats. 

Feel free to share how you did!!!

Crystal Creations

Gen 1 - Old Fashioned

Aspirations: Serial Romantic

Traits: Gloomy, Music Lover, Noncommittal 

Your Founder sim has been cast aside and exiled from her vampire kind. All because you fell in love with a human. You thought you'd be able to convince your Pureblood vampire family that humans weren't all that bad and you could get them to accept him. But instead they killed your lover. Heart broken, you leave and find residence in an abandoned graveyard. Even though you have begun to despise your vampire heritage you are still a bit more of a classic vampire and are only able to leave your home at night to go out into the world and HATE garlic. You are bitter and hard to get along with from your life's hardships. You despise your parents and Count Vladislaus Straud, the leader of the vampire who threw you out for falling in love with a human.

Believing your heart is broken forever you take a random human as your new “Lover” though you don't care for them as much as you did for your past lover. They are simply a means to an end. Once you get pregnant with a vampire child you kill the father, after all they mean nothing to you. 

Level 10 Pipe Organ

Be A Master Vampire

Have at least 2 children with different fathers.

Gen 2 - The Heavy Drinker

Aspirations: Vampire Family

Traits: Evil, Gluten, High Maintenance

You are rotten to your core, and take pleasure in your thirst. You just can't get enough human blood. You refuse to drink from plasma fruits or packs and only dine on human blood. Eventually you convince your mother to allow you to keep humans in a dungeon below the graveyard so long as you don't make trouble. In the end you fall in love with another vampire who shares your thirst for blood.

Drink from at least 10 different sims

Never drink from plasma fruit or packs

Keep at least 1 human sim locked up for food

Marry another vampire

Gen 3 - The Historian

Aspirations: Master Vampire

Traits: Bookworm, Overachiever, Genius

Growing up your parents always told you how lucky you were to be a vampire, but they could never quite tell you why it was so great besides being able to drink human blood. This sparked a fascination in you to discover everything about your vampiric history and dedicated your life to learning everything there is to know about Vampire culture. 

Level 10 Logic

Become a Master Vampire

Produce a Male Heir.

Gen 4 - The Coven Leader

Aspirations: Public Enemy

Traits: Evil, Kleptomaniac, Materialistic 

Your mother was obsessed with vampire culture and raised you on all the knowledge of your ancestors. But you wanted to do something greater with this power. Too long has your family suffered under the reign of the Straud's. You aren't too fond of the other occults either and are constantly starting fights with them. But you learn you need more assistance so you strive to create a large and powerful coven of like-minded vampires.

Fight and Kill Vlad

Fight a pack of werewolves

Fight a spellcaster

Have a single female child

Marry a vampire that you once fought

Gen 5 - The Romantic

Aspirations: Bestselling Author

Traits: Romantic, Bookworm, Creative

Growing up under a Coven boss wasn't always easy. Your parents have made many enemies and because of that they feared one of their enemies would come after you. So they kept you locked away and rarely let you outside the confines of your home(if ever). So instead you spend your days reading romance stories and watching Rom Coms. You even begin writing your own stories of love and adventure. Will anyone ever save you from this life of crime and entrapment?

Level 10 Writing Skill

Level 10 Piano or Organ Skill

Publish at least 5 Romance Novels

Sneak out one night and fall in love with a spellcaster.

Become pregnant so your parents have to accept it.

Gen 6 - The Gifted Half Breed

Aspirations: Spellcraft & Sorcery

Traits: Perfectionist, Cat Lover, Loner

Being Half Vampire and Half Spellcaster you are more talented and skilled than any of your kin that came before you. Your parents were both so obsessed with themselves that you were often left to your own devices. There you decide to explore more of your Spellcaster side and how they could enhance your vampire powers. Because of your intense studies you are often alone, but you don't mind that. Worried you may be spending too much time alone, your parents give you an adorable black kitten to keep you company.

Level 10 Jewelry Making

Be a skilled vampire and spellcaster

Have no other friends besides your family and cat

You never really fall in love but instead procreate simply to keep the family line going.

Gen 7 - The Rebel Vampire x Werewolf love

Aspirations: SoulmateTraits: Self-Assured, Dog Lover, Goofball

You were always different. You didn't care about the feuds instilled upon you by your great grandparent. What did they know anyways? They’d fight their left toe if they thought it looked at them funny. Your love for canines confused your family but your mother (wanting to appease her child so she could be left alone) let you get one even though she didn't understand why you wanted a dog over a cat. But your fascination didn't stop there. What could be so bad about the werewolves? They were kinda cute. Maybe really cute if you could just get close enough to one… 

Befriend a werewolf

Marry a werewolf

Have a female heir.

Gen 8 - The Mother

Aspirations: Super Parent

Traits: Erratic, Family Oriented, Art Lover

Your genetic mix up isn't exactly pristine at this point having Vampire, Spellcaster, and Werewolf bloodlines, and it would seem that that has raised havoc on your ability to conceive a child. You become obsessed with the idea of starting a family of your own and decide that you will have a child no matter the cost.

Level 10 Parenting

Level 10 Painting

Adopt or steal a baby and turn them into a vampire with cheats.

Gen 9 - The Gardener

Aspirations: Freelance Botanist 

Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Adventurous, Squeamish

Growing up you always knew there was something wrong with you. Something that didn't feel quite right. After much prodding, you mother finally caves and tells you the truth of your existence. That you were originally human but your mother turned you into a vampire when you were just a baby. Because of this you start longing to experience nature and the world you were meant to be a part of. Stepping into the light of day becomes a dream you can't let go of. For now though you become obsessed with life and turn to gardening as a way to feel connected to the world around you. Maybe someday you’ll be able to step into the sun without fear of death.

Level 10 Gardener

Grow a cow plant

Explore as much of the world at night as you can

Visit at least 5 worlds

Meet a human and fall in love as they try to help you see as much of the world as they can.

Gen 10 - The Good

Aspirations: Good Vampire

Traits: Good, Vegetarian, Outgoing

You were raised by two wonderful parents. They were so attentive and you loved seeing how supportive your father was to your mother. Even as he aged faster their love never wavered. And they always made sure you know how much you meant to them. Because of this you grew up truly appreciating life, most of all human life. You did your best to never drink human blood. And much to the disappointment of your elders you set free the humans that were trapped in the dungeon of the estate. 

Fall in love with one of the trapped humans in the basement.

Dedicate yourself to finding a cure for vampirism for your mother so she can finally step into the sun.

Decide if the Vampire line ends with you (you also take the cure) or you stay a vampire but continue your vegetarian ways.

HayishMandys Hunger Games

Ever wanted to watch your sims battle it out to the death? Settle a debate on what sim is better? Or you're just a twisted person who enjoys ruining the lives of others.  Either way, we’ve all been there. And sometimes you just need help coming up with how to serve your dark purpose. And that's why I've come in to help!

To Begin You’ll Need…

1 overwatcher sim. 

This sim stays out of the conflict and takes care of the lot and serves the food for the competitors.  

In a Community Hut add…

1 couch for napping.

1 shower and 1 toilet for all sims to share.

1 Single Bed

No Kitchen. Limited Access to food

Only Overwatch sim can make meals

Have your overwatch sim prepare a single serving of food to be placed out once a day in a designated zone. 

First come first served.

-At the start of the day you will begin with a Risk Challenge

A risk challenge is a challenge that won't end in the death of another sim. Instead this is to set sims up with an advantage or disadvantage leading into the death challenges.

If a sim wins a risk challenge they receive access to the winners hut!

This is a special home that only the winner and the overwatch sim can access.

This home has access to all amenities such as a kitchen, bathroom, and a bed.

If a sim loses a risk challenge they will be punished.

Create a space where a sim is stuck and has no access to any amenities. Such as a pit or a fence around them.

-At the end of every day you will have a Death Challenge

This event will lead to the death of at least 1 sim.

The first sim that dies loses. 

If multiple sims die at the same time you take the sim whos death notification popped up first. The other sims can be revived with cheats.

Once the event is over you can reset all sims needs with cheats so everyone goes into the next day's risk challenge with needs filled.

HayIshMandys Home For Children

Welcome to HayishMandys Home For Children! This dilapidated, crumbling, and definitely not haunted building, recently was bought by a young and hopeful sim ready to make a difference in the lives of young children. But will their good intentions stay in the right place, or will they fall into shady habits?

Goal:

To revamp the orphanage to a brighter happier facility. (What methods you use to get there is up to you.)

Roll Money Wheel daily to see how much money you get from the government to help you each day.

Start with 1 Caretaker Sim and 7 children.

Roll to see what age each child is.

Start with a rundown building that will be your orphanage.

Owner cannot marry for money.

Owner can get loans/donations from other sims.

The Orphanage can have a garden.

Easels are allowed

Musical instruments such as Guitars and Violins are allowed.

Baby toys are acceptable

The Orphanage can have a TV, but not a very expensive one

Children are mainly responsible for finding ways to make money.

How money is spent is left up to the player.

Try not redecorating rooms too much until the entire facility is clean.

Buying and switching objects as needed is fine.

Use your best judgment on money earned from deleting items.

https://wheelofnames.com/ - I used this source to make my wheels.

https://wheelofnames.com/6a2-d9s - Moods

https://wheelofnames.com/54e-ffy  - Money

https://wheelofnames.com/2er-723 - Age

Daily Events

Spin the wheel to see what Mood the caretaker is in…

Spin wheel to see how much money we get from the government that day.

Roll dice to see what intensity the mood is. (ex. Angry or Very Angry)

Moods can be naturally overridden if the sim is in an influential environment. 

Only one room a day can be “cleaned” (dirt objects removed from space)

Adopting Children Out

After all this is a Home for Children and Children should get the chance to be adopted out. Of course not every child gets adopted so some children will eventually age out of the care center once they reach Young Adulthood. 

Once a week host a house party with potential adoption families around town.

During these events allow children to go around and socialize with families.

If a child and a potential adopter create a bond then you can proceed with adoption interviews at a later day.

If a child is ready for an adoption interview then you can invite over the adopter and get to know them.

Get to know

Ask about Career

Have a Deep Conversation

Ask about interests

Perform a home visit to see if the living conditions are suitable for this child.

If they seem like a good fit then you can roll the dice to see if the adoption will go through,

Odd Roll - The adoption process for whatever reason doesn't go through. Maybe someday they will get another chance with a different family.

Even Roll - Success!!! This child has found a loving home. They can now move in with their new family.

Once a household slot is open you can take on another child.

Get To Work - For Ray Gun

Cottage Living - For Livestock

Strangerville - For Crashed plane object that you sell parts for money.

Your once millionaire sims’ private jet crashes and you wake up on a deserted island with only a few scraps and your wits to guide you. How will you survive? How long can you make it? Will you ever get off the island?

You can't go to Buy Mode until you acquire a workbench.

Unless you need to place items from dice rolls, to sell plane parts, or get daily crate objects.

You have to make most of your furniture using the workbench before replacing with new/“found” furniture items.

After Day 3 a new crate will wash ashore everyday. 

Roll Dice to decide if you get to keep what's in the crate or if it washes away.

Odd roll means you missed it and it floats away. 

Even roll you keep it and get a basic item to keep or sell. (I recommend using the ray gun from Get to Work to use to get a randomly generated object everyday.)

1: a bar

2: a tent

3: a cooler

4: a fish trap

5. a candle/lantern

6. a “friend” (Object to keep you company)

Lot - Your Island

I recommend using the island lot in Sulani.

Start with an empty lot. (Besides the objects you acquired by rolling dice)

You can place a few “wreckage items” on the lot like a crashed plane wreckage from Strangerville Pack, and some random crates.

.

Day 1: Roof over your Head: You need a shelter. Salvage (Sell) one of the plane parts (but not the engine), and roll the dice: D20

Rolled Even: Hey, there is some useful stuff here! 

Rolled Odd: Feh, It's all useless garbage! You lose the money earned from selling the part.

Day 2: The Hunger games: You're low on food, better go get some. Raise fishing skill 2 levels up. Prize: A campfire

Day 3: Floatsam Ahoy! A crate with supplies washed up on a beach! Roll the dice once, and you get one of the items listed in the getting started section If you already have all items you can randomize crate using simray.

Day 4: Basic Engineering: You try dabbling in the inner workings of your wrecked plane, to get a better understanding of mechanical skills. Order your sim to watch the engine, then roll the dice:

Rolled Even: You get a workbench and sell the engine.

Rolled Odd: You clumsy Fool! You botched it! Try again tomorrow. Reroll Sell the Engine, and remove the money you gained.

Day 5: Getting your sea legs! It's time to get yourself some workout! Just swim in the sea to increase the Fitness skill by 2 points: 

Day 6: Pest Control! You discover a plant that when burned, deters all the nasty creatures plaguing your island! light the campfire, and play with it, then roll dice:

Roll Even: The smoke successfully scared away all the spiders, snakes and bats! You remove the Creepy Crawlies lot trait.

Roll odd: This weed is useless! Nothing Happens. Try again another day.

Day 7-9 Rest Day

Day 10: Avast! Thar be Pirates! One day, you scouted the island, when you saw a group of shady looking thugs. Pirates! You hide behind some bushes, and observe them. Roll the dice ye landlubber!

Roll even: You quietly watch the corsairs, as they bury a heavy chest on the beach. When they're gone, you dig out the chest. It's full of cash! you get 1000 simoleons!
