The Suffering Challenge

Have you ever wistfully remembered the days of your youth when you terrorized your sims without the baggage of being emotionally attached to them? Do you miss the days where you could evilly cackle as you watched sims suffer by your hand without guilt? Are you longing for a return to the simple, basic, horrifying core of The Sims franchise? Then, boy oh boy! Do I have a challenge for you!

The Basics:

No cheats that would give you an unfair advantage (this is all about suffering, after all). Things like “resetsim” or “money 0” as needed by the challenge rules are perfectly fine. You can play vanilla, banilla, berry sweet, or a mix of all three! There are no “story” guidelines but feel free to make your own! Some rules/aspects are pack specific, but if you don’t have those packs, you can still play through the challenge. Feel free to substitute or leave out as needed. Although this is called the Suffering Challenge, it is all made in good fun. If you find yourself dreading opening your save or something isn’t quite working for you, feel free to change it! It’s your game, at the end of the day, and we’re all here to have fun.

Founder:

-Any gender, must be able to become pregnant.

-Any aspiration, and any occult (some may be more difficult than others).

-Either YA or Adult.

-Must have three of the following traits:

Gloomy

Hot-Headed

Unflirty

Clumsy

Glutton

Insane

Slob

Snob

Squeamish

Evil

Hates Children

Jealous

Loner

Mean

Non-committal

Lot: 

-Empty lot in any world of any size (keep in mind the number of children you’ll have to expand for).

-Lot must have three of the following traits:

Volcano

Gremlins

Offgrid

Cursed

Creepy Crawlies

Filthy

Grody

Haunted

Mean Vibe

Ley Line 

HARD MODE: Dark Ley Line

Quake Zone

-Must begin game with two gravestones/urns with ghosts (this can be cheated to kill two random sims). These and any following gravestones/urns must be kept on display and “active.”

-Set money to zero after placing founder.

Furnishings: 

-Cheapest furniture for everything in the house.

-Mouse hole, if you have city living.

-Only three books in the house (may be rotated), but NO skill books.

-Only three skill items in the house (does not include mirrors or fridges), only one can be a “money maker” (i.e. painting, computer).

-No high chairs; the tots have to snag a meal when it’s laid out!

-Always be one bed short; someone always spends the night on the couch. Or the floor.

-Outdoor trashcan only.

-Washtub and clothesline only (no washer and dryer machines but you can have more than one clothesline), one hamper. HARD MODE: no hampers.

-Only one bathroom. 

-Always one toy short for kids (i.e. three children, two toys in the toy box). No skill building toys.

Household:

-Founder may not have a job: children at home (not at school) must go with them on “foraging” forays (finding plants, frogs, rocks, fishing, etc.). Island Living Odd Jobs are acceptable. HARD MODE: kids cannot help make money with plants, frogs, etc.

-Founder may not have partners or spouses, only romantic interests, but can have as many as they like. None can move in. No other adults or teens may move in as helpers.

-May visit public lots to use computers, read other books, or anything else unavailable at home so long as the whole household goes together.

-Must have three sets of five children, or fifteen total. Founder may adopt but remember adoption is expensive (1,000 simoleons)!

-Can have same romantic interest for all children or different ones. HARD MODE: no romantic interests, all children adopted.

-Pets are allowed, but toys and scratching items are not. Food bowls and litter boxes are fine. Pets can always be fed treats or scraps from their humans’ plates.

-Try to avoid leveling the Parenting Skill. 

-All children’s traits must be randomized, but aspirations can be whatever you like.

-Older children cannot directly help care for younger children.

-Teens cannot have jobs and must move out the moment they grow into YA.

-Cannot hire services for any reason.

-Must have all babies at home.

World:

-Make three “mean” holidays on the calendar. HARD MODE: remove all “nice” holidays.

-When your sims are in the most dire of circumstances and desperate for simoleons, you may take out a loan from the bank. However, you may only do so once a week on Mondays. If you do not repay your balance by the next Monday (if you added 1,000 to the household funds, you must remove 1,000 before Monday), you will be charged interest of an additional 100 simoleons for each day you are late. For each day you are overdrawn, you must delete something important from your home/habitat such as one of your three books, a skill item, your fridge. Things like doors, walls, windows, roofs, and decor are not eligible. Again, loans are not necessary, only an option!

Miscellaneous:

-If you cannot finish the child requirement in one generation, have no fear. Simply continue with the next generation of horror. 

-Children taken by social services do not count toward your total fifteen. If you had five, and they were taken away, you have to begin again.

-Sims may be edited with cheats in order to make them eligible to impregnate your founder.

-You may use any CC you like, so long as it’s nothing “functional” that will seriously impact gameplay. 

-If you’d like to combine this challenge with any others (100 baby challenge, breed out the ugly, etc.) feel free! I’d love to see your spin on it.

-Please give me a tag in your initial post of this challenge! I’d love to keep up with all these trash families.

Bonus Hard Modes:

-Begin game in winter, no fireplaces and no temperature control.

-No stoves or microwaves. Only quick meals, bonfires, or campfires.

-Take a loan every Monday, whether you need it (or are able to pay it back) or not.

-Give all children negative traits.

-End romances after your sim is pregnant; use a different lover for each pregnancy.

Have fun! Feel free to shoot me a DM with any questions or problems you find!

It's when I'm in front of a crowd like this that I get really sentimental. I don't know why, but ever since I was a little kid, I've been thinking about when I was going to be like 80 years old. I always thought like: "When I'm 80 years old am I gonna look back on this decision? Like, what will I think? Will I look back and laugh?" I think when I'm 80 and I probably don't get to play stadiums anymore... I think I'm gonna look back on nights like this and think "Oh, that was so great. I can't believe I got to do that." So this is one of those crowds. And, you know, I like the fact that we've grown up in a time, or at last we exist in a time now, where I can keep track of what you guys are doing even if I'm not on tour. I can check in and see your Tumblr or your Instagram or your Twitter and see what you guys are up to, and I guess you guys might have ways of also seeing what I'm up to. I love seeing your milestones because I've been on tour and playing for you guys since I was sixteen; I'm twenty-eight now. So I got to see you guys go through so many changes. You know, I've gotten to meet someone when they're eight and meet them when they're graduating from high school, and it's a trip. It's so fun. And I've also seen you guys go through heartbreaks and things like that. We've seen each other's ups and downs over the years, and that's one of the things that I think is really bonding, at least on my end. So I wanna play a song that is for me always gonna be you.
