The Jacobs moved to their official family home built by the extremely talented @afuzzyduckie! Thanks again for building this incredible home for the Jacobs family ❤️🏠

What if, instead of controlling just one family, you played The Sims 3 as if you were governing an entire city?

I’m introducing the Society Challenge, a new gameplay style inspired by SimCity Societies and Simsville, where the city becomes the main character. You draw the type of society your city is trying to become and, week after week, deal with challenges related to housing, work, culture, and safety through cards that create conflicts, stories, and unexpected decisions.

If you enjoy challenges, storytelling, and seeing the game react organically to your choices, this project was made for you. It’s still in an early stage, so I’d really love to know if this kind of gameplay challenge inspires you to play The Sims even more.

The post explains everything, shows the cards, and walks you through how to use the system in-game without spreadsheets or headaches.

Check it out and let me know what you think <3

The Sims 3 Vampire Zodiac Challenge

This is a new sims 3 challenge that i created that revolves around the sims 3 supernatural expansion pack.  This challenge does not require the use of mods but it is highly recommended that you use the More real vampires mod (http://modthesims.info/d/597392).

Backstory to this challenge:

Long ago there was an awful man that would pillage and cause trouble in his village. He murdered and stole from his fellow villagers, leading to many fights and upheavals. One night he stole a powerful zodiac spell book from a well known witch, hoping to grant himself immortality. That witch was the leader of the largest coven in the land, the oldest line of witches in existence. These witches believed that the mystical zodiac gave them their strength, this was the center of their beliefs. He burned the book once he knew that the witches were after him, knowing that it would weaken them. The witches got together and put a curse on the man as punishment for his crimes. The curse turned him into an undead blood thirsty creature that feared sunlight, a vampire, the original vampire. He would be granted immortality and immunity from the witches wrath only once he had 12 children that had all reached YA status, if he does not have 12 children by his 200th birthday (or elder status) the curse will kill him and his family, ending the vampire bloodline. The 12 vampire children would strengthen the zodiac, which would give the witches immense power. As a way to get back at the witches that cursed him, he decided to use humans as his food source. He turned hundreds of humans into vampires to build an army to take down the witches. With enough newly-turned vampires under his belt, he started a monarchy, making himself the king. Once he had his 11th son, Dominick, he decided to use his army to attack the witches. The king, his wife, and all of his children were killed, except for Dominick, who was an infant at the time. Only a few of his fledglings survived the attack, some went into hiding. Dominick was then raised by a rogue witch, one that was kicked out of the coven for the use of black magic. The rogue witch installed hatred of the coven into Dominick, telling him what happened to his family. Now that Dominick has completed his training, he wants to continue in his fathers footsteps to have the 12 zodiac children to end the curse and free himself from the witches. He has a witch that works for him as the house maid, one that has also been kicked out of the coven. This is where our story begins...

Goal of the challenge: To find a woman to be his queen and have 12 children before he becomes an elder to repel the wrath of the witches.

Rules: -Create a king (vampire) -Create a maid (witch) that is into alchemy. The maid cares for the children and creates elixirs and grows plasma fruit to please the king. -The king must go out and find a female vampire to be his queen and begin having children (she does not have to be royalty) -The king must complete his aspiration (turn the town) -King must have at least 12 kids (one for each zodiac) that grow to YA status -The king must be very mean to humans, only interact with them to drink. -The king doe not use blood bags/plasma fruit -The king and queen cannot go out shopping in the town, the maid is the only one allowed to go out into town to shop. -The maid is the only one to care and interact with the children -The maid has to master alchemy and gardening -The queen must have best friend status with maid
