I started a Poverty/Homeless Sim and figured I’d share her story, her name’s Naomi. Everything about her, except her clothes, were determined using randomizers and dice

One thing I didn’t like about any of the challenge rules I found is they all have you start out on an empty lot, but that means your sim Starts with property worth over $1k. Instead, I used the Down-On-Your-Luck apartment building (with a few edits) and had her rent the smallest room for $61 a week, after that I took her funds down to $0. I’m also using Cyjon’s Bigger Bills set at level 4

I gave her the Mooch and Slob traits so she can beg for money and salvage in the trash, she can also dig holes and sell what she finds. She can’t do any other money making activities unless she’s bought equipment or an outfit to “unlock” them. I assigned different everyday outfits to unlock fishing, barista, DJing, and bartending. She can’t use equipment on community lots, like instruments or crafting benches, unless she owns the same thing at home

She can’t get a roommate until she has a full apartment with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. She can’t get a career until she has that apartment plus a phone, computer, and new outfit for interviews. She lives downtown and can only walk to Downtown lots, to go to other hoods she has to call a cab and I have a mod that charges money for cab rides

It’s a freestyle challenge, no point system, the challenge is to survive and build up her net worth. She rolled as a Romance Sim so I’m also using an 8-sided die every time she’s about to Woohoo, if it comes up 8 she has to Try For Baby

Poverty Sim Update

Its been 7 days and she’s moved to a bigger room in a nicer building for $236 a week

It doesn’t qualify as a full apartment, but she has enough space to dry tea leaves. This building doesn’t have a communal kitchen or bathroom so she’ll have to use community lots until she can afford to buy some furniture

I made a little community lot where she can buy a burger and grab some trash, it’s called Gun Street Grill cuz I love Tom Waits 

She’s down to about $100 in cash. She had enough aspiration points for a ReNuYu SensoOrb so I changed her secondary aspiration. I use dice to pick them and she originally rolled Romance/Grilled Cheese, but she doesn’t have a kitchen and you can’t order grilled cheese in restaurants so she was never able to do anything with those wants. She’s now a Romance/Pleasure sim

She’s been wanting to play poker so I decided buying new formal wear will unlock that. She needs a dazzling outfit to get a seat at the table

There are some unhappy campers at the Happy Campers Commune

Fawn Grove has a farmer now, his name’s Jonah. I discovered you can’t use Aysarth or @midgethetree​‘s garden plots on apartment lots, but @sunmoon-starfactory​ crops work fine and it turns out Landlords will even water them

I started a new hood, Fawn Grove, because I wanted a casual hood that I wouldn’t micromanage. I let the game spawn Dormies and had to share pics of some of them

Plus all the secret Society members are really pale, I think it might be a vampire cult

Frederico “Thanks for making hotdogs, I’m always starving in the morning” Marcella “The werewolf transformation must take a lot out of you” Frederico “Werewolf? Is that a joke? Sorry, I don’t get it”

I made Frederico as a werewolf townie but he rolled the traits Supernatural Skeptic and Unstable. I’m playing as if he blocks out the memories of his transformations and thinks he was sleeping

I realized I’d made a mistake when setting up stealth hoods and none of my hoods had the Witch lots, so I’m having to reboot everything. Again. Hopefully this will be the last time for a while

I made a vampire and his dinner human companion to live in my abandoned church. Its been ages since I played a vampire, I’m not sure what I should have him do for money. I feel like he’d think a regular job is beneath him, but they’re really poor and have almost no furniture. I’ll probably have him use a crafting station to make stuff, but I’m not sure which one

His LTW is to have 20 animal best friends, which is adorable. The human wants to be a celebrity chef
