So I’ve started playing the Lost Challenge, original rules here by Rachel Ziese. But I changed some of the rules to have 2 tribes, in which they “steal” tribe members from each other. After 4 full seasons the challenge is over and, hopefully, the tribes are very different than when they first started. Here’s my changed rules:
Create 2 households of 8 adult Sims. They can be made any way you like.
Put them on any size lot. They should have a place to fish so that they can eat, but other than that there’s no restrictions. I put my Sims on a beach lot and am using the invisible fishing pond so they can “fish” in the ocean.
Furniture can be added as needed. The less furniture and worse quality will make the challenge more difficult, and, in my opinion, more enjoyable.
Sims can garden and fish for food. They may not take jobs outside the lot.
The Wants/Fears panel must be hidden at all times. You can still view the Needs panel.
Every Tuesday and Thursday the Sim with the lowest amount of Aspiration Points is taken by the other tribe. They have a chance to defend themselves by fighting with a Sim from the other tribe. If they win, they are not taken. If they lose, they must be moved in with the other tribe.
Every Saturday the Sim with the lowest amount of Aspiration Points is killed by the “smoke monster” (or insert monster/disease/killing device here).
The challenge ends after 4 full seasons or when one of the tribes is wiped out.
I’ve played through the first season so pictures are coming!
