THE ORPHANS CHALLENGE

You are a teenager who has recently lost your parents and is now forced to take care of your younger siblings—two children and a toddler. After your parents’ death, the court places you under the care of a distant uncle who hates children and will do everything in his power to make your life—and your siblings’ lives—a living hell.

Your goal is not just to survive, but to protect your siblings and give them a better life despite everything.

CHALLENGE RULES:

You must choose either a Normal or Long lifespan.

Create an adult Sim of any gender with the following traits: Hates Kids, Snobby, and Ambitious.

You may not play as the adult Sim—you can only control the orphans.

Your teen Sim must have the following traits: Gloomy, Bookworm, and Loner. They can be any gender.

The child and toddler Sims can have any traits and be of any gender.

You must start with ONLY §1,000.

Your teen Sim must have a part-time job to help support the household.

Any money your teen Sim earns must be removed using cheats to represent the uncle taking it.

The uncle must have the best bedroom in the house, while the children live with the bare minimum.

American Horror Story Challenge

Hello, simmers!

I’m a huge fan of the game and I absolutely love doing challenges. While playing legacy challenges, I started thinking about how fun it would be to create one inspired by the seasons of American Horror Story, which has been one of my favorite shows for years!

You don’t need to know much about the series to play this challenge — everything you need is explained below.

GENERAL RULES:

This is a legacy challenge, meaning each generation is inspired by a different season of the show. You don’t need to know the series, but if you do, it adds to the experience!

Some cheats are allowed, such as “moveobjects” and “freerealestate” (only for getting a house from the gallery). Money cheats are NOT allowed.

Lifespan must be set to normal.

Some generations will require specific lot challenges.

Start with only §5,000 simoleons.

Some generations require specific packs, so keep that in mind.

If you play this challenge, use the hashtag #ahsthesims!

Enjoy and happy simming!
