anotherleo's ultimate sim challenge

Ultimate Sim Challenge, by anotherleo

Pre-requisites

Do not use mods.

Have installed the following expansion/packs: Supernatural, Into the Future, Late Night, Ambitions, World Adventures. Generations is optional.

Use any stuff collections that you want. I used Diesel and High End Loft.

Optional Start, for who have the Generations:

Create a YA/A Sim and a Toddler. The Toddler will be your Ultimate Sim, so raise up until YA and split from your parent make your own path.

Alternatively, you can start with a couple that decides to have a child, or even a single parent decided to have a kid. That’s on you.

This is cool to have some backgrounds skills, driver license, some trophies from high school, some relationships… But won’t change that much the game below.

Starting Rules

Do not use cheats.

Create a sim, regardless gender. The Sim needs to be YA/Adult.

You cannot start the challenge with a supernatural Sim. You can’t change your Sim into a supernatural being throughout the challenge unless its specified to.

During the challenge, you can’t have more than one sim in the active family.

Choose any LTW.

Choose any traits.

Since Into the Future make life much more easier, you cannot acquire this furniture itens to your house unless its specified to. You can’t learn how to make plumbots either.

Do not travel unless you’re specified to.

It’s up to you to play with story progression and aging system.

Do not forget to save your game very often.

Observations

This is sort of huge. Just to be explicit about it.

Remaking Sunset Valley

I recommend this: to choose Sunset Valley, then modify to fulfill your needs and desires.

If you want, create new characters to put in your neighborhood. You can even delete the original ones of the city: it’s yours, after all.

You can also use the Create a World tool to make your own world! :)

The Residential Lot

Edit your city to have a 10x10 lot. Put your Ultimate Sim to live there. This small little place will be yours throught the challenge, you will have opportunity to change the lot sometimes.

You can build up and down as you wish.

You can furniture the place as you want.

Storytelling

Make a lot of screenshots telling the life of your Sim!

Celebrate the end of every phase by doing a party with your Sim!

Would be cool if you’re able to keep a storytelling blog of your gameplay.

Can you keep track of how many days in game took to finish every Phase below?
