Extreme Cottage Living Rags to Riches Challenge Rules
You win the challenge when you have:
-a house big enough for everyone to have their own bedroom (parents may share if your sim has a live in partner), kitchen, dining room, living room (can be an open floor plan so like a table can count as the dining room), 2 or more bathrooms, laundry room (if you have laundry day this can be an outside set up and be considered a room), and a bonus room (must be fully furnished). The dining room can be just attached to the kitchen
-1 or more animal sheds filled
-1 or more chicken coops filled
-a garden plot with 20 plots filled (not everything has to be harvestable or in season)
-Create a new sim (and partner if you want) and give them whatever traits and aspirations you want. If you play more than one generation the traits must be randomized after this. Aspirations can be whatever. You aren't required to complete them.
-You may not choose any likes or dislikes. Those must be done through gameplay. When a box pops up about it always click yes (even if that means they hate gardening or fishing).
-Buy a lot, bulldoze anything on it, and get rid of all your money through cheats or giving it away by moving sims around.
-Choose your lot traits. They can be whatever you like.
-Lot challenges that must be choosen: Simple living and wild foxes. You can choose to have more if you want to.
-You can choose whatever lifespan you want but you cannot age any Sims up until their birthday.
-You can only make money through things related to farming which includes: canning, gardening, fishing, chickens, cows, llamas, flower arrangement, cross-stitch, winning the Fenwick fair, beekeeping (if you have seasons), befriending animals, frog breeding, and errands.
-You can only sell items through the selling table (if you have city living or eco lifestyle) or the market stalls. Frogs cannot be sold at the market stall so frog breeding isn't recommended unless you can have a selling table. Even then they don't sell great.
-You can forage for things to grow in your garden but you cannot dig for items to sell.
-You may sell things that lighting storms leave on your property. (Seasons)
-Since this challenge will probably be a multi-generational challenge the amount of children your Sims have will increase as the generations go on. That means your first gen will have 2 children, pick one of those to be the heir. Your second gen will have 3 children, pick one and on and on. Children can be birthed or adopted. If your sim adopts it must be a toddler. You can kick the extra Sims out after they hit adult years if you want. This will be required as your family size grows since we are limited to an 8 sim household (unless you are using mods to change this number).
You can have a totally off the grid farm by choosing the lot challenge. This works best if you have eco lifestyle and have access to the solar panels. I have found the off the grid gameplay is almost impossible without natural ways to generate power
Change this challenge in any way shape or form to make your gameplay fun for you! Feel free to post your stories and let me know how it goes. These guidelines are subject to changes because I haven't played through the challenge completely yet but I am currently working on it. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! This is the first challenge I've written. Happy simming!!
**Disclaimer: If this challenge is exactly coping another challenge that was unintentional. I wrote this challenge just from my brain and using the knowledge of how I like to play. I did not look up or research any cottage living rags to riches challenges before writing this
