My survival challenge inspired by Will You Survive by YTSparkles (https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/835389/will-you-survive-challenge/p1)Â
Itâs been 25 years since the society collapsed. Rumor says there used to be a new virus which spread around the World, governments were trying to stop the spread but their regulations were too illogical - they closed shops with clothes, but flower shops remained open? What? Would you respect a government like that? Sims did not trust the government anymore and rebelled. They did not follow any regulations and soon the whole society split up into groups. Neighbourhoods ceased to exist. Houses were demolished. A lot of Sims died because of this new virus. And yet there were still Sims who believed there is no such a thing as a ânew virusâ. Some groups tried to make their own cure, which made the situation even worse, now people who were supposed to die turn into mindless zombies, trying to eat everything they can find including human flesh.Â
You were born when the new virus just started to spread. You donât remember much, you just remember stories your parents told you. Before they died. You had to take care of himself since you were a teenager, you are always on the move, you donât have a base.Â
One day you see two strangers on a road. You hide away, because you do not want to meet anyone else, but then you realize those are children. One child and one toddler. They seem lost. First you think it's suspicious, but when you see the determination in their eyes you don't doubt they went through hell and survived. You come to them to say Sul sul. You learn these kids have no one else. You do not trust them, but you just can not send them away. For the first time ever, you decide to build a base, take care of these kids.Â
To keep both kids alive until they can take care of themselves. Challenge ends when both kids become Elders.
Optional Goal:Â Have one of the kids reach the top of the Science or Medical career - so they can create a cure.
The Sims 3 rules (For The Sims 4 see bellow)
first edit world - delete all community lots and houses. You may (and should) keep community gardens and parks, you also may keep community lots which have a reason to be still in this kind of world (for example Military base, Science institute, Hospital, even School, City Hall or Art Museum or Library, you just need to justify why this community needs an Art Museum)
Create your Sims - You need one young adult (or older), one child and one toddler. You chose their gender, colours, clothes. The adult Sim needs to have the loner trait and choose a lifetime wish which needs just maximized skills (you do not want to socialize with other Sims and you canât have a job), otherwise itâs up to you. The child and toddler might be siblings and/or related to the adult, but donât have to be.
No cheats allowed except to get rid off money ( testingcheatsenabled true and then familyfunds [sims last name] [number]Â
Set your money to 5000 simoleons (for extreme start use only 3000) and build a base. Keep in mind to have everything to keep the toddler and you are in postapocalyptic world..
No maids, no nannies, no services. Social distancing. BUT you may try to create your own clan by moving Sims in your household. Create your own rules how you choose sims for your community (like, if they turn into zombie on fullmoon you'll not accept them, or opposite, accepting occults only (special abilities) etc.)
Jobs allowed: science, medical, (because we need cure), military, criminal, educationÂ
No zombies or vampires allowed, they are INFECTED! If one of your sims gets turned into a vampire, he must be isolated in a separate building (or at least a room) and you must earn money to buy a cure.
You may get a partner, you may move in friends, you may have other kids, you loose 2 points by adding them, but all challenges, skills, careers etc. which they accomplish count to the final score.
The challenge fails if any your starting kids is taken away or dies.
The challenge ends when your starting toddler grows up into an elder.Â
