Burned Paradise Simblr

The year is 2030. What happened to cause the Apocalypse is up to your imagination! The goal of this challenge is to restore New Crest back into a beautiful town. 

Rules:

(will update as I play my own save)

Gen 1 starts off with either a teen or young adult married couple (ethnicity/race doesn’t matter!) in a small utility shed with the Off The Grid lot trait on any lot in New Crest. You can use the tiny house pack for the extra perks. The household starts with zero simoleons. Your sims can scavenge for plants, frogs, etc. They can also fish, knit, candle make, garden, woodwork, paint or floral arrange. Cooking can be done on a grill or the fire pit from the Island Living pack.

You can start off with New Crest near empty or filled with broken-down abandoned lots; store, restaurant, bowling alley, spa...etc. The possibilities are endless! 

Auto-aging should be off. For the birthdays, sims will roll if they survive to their next life stage. I revamped the spreadsheet @morbidgamer​​​​ uses for her Decades Challenge on twitch. Her spreadsheet will have how long a sim year is, how many days each life stage is...etc. All credit to her, She started at the 1550s. Morbid got hers from the original challenge creator. 

Each heir if they survive the roll and age into a teen, will roll to see if they can move out and start a family and how many kids they can have. If the roll is good, they can move into an abandoned lot and gradually you can either restore the lot into what it was or make it a nice home for the future generations or both.

Each family last name will have a color. If the heir is male, the color stays the same. If the heir is female and she marries, her color changes.

You can only travel off the lot to scavenge and you can’t go anywhere that will require a loading screen. The time you’re allowed to travel is between families.

No interacting with townies. For the first generation, it’s only your heirs and their children. Through MCCC, remove all the townies or just delete if they go near your lot. Gen 2 it’s okay to have townies but try to not interact with them until Gen 3.

A toilet and sink can be in the shed but if they needed a bathtub, it has to be built via the woodworking table. If your sims want a dining table or chairs, that too needs to come from the woodworking table but if they have simoleons, you can build then trade it for another table and chairs. 

If you have the Laundry Pack, only use the wash bin and clothes line.

Anything else they want that can’t be built on the woodworking table and they have the simoleons, you can get from Build Buy but it has to be something that logically would make sense for them to have; like for a bed I had my couple start with a debug blowup mattress from Eco Lifestyle and when they had the simoleons I let them get a real bed that looked like it could have been made by them.  

No set style of clothes. I just chose steampunk for the fun of it but the point of this challenge is to have fun and get creative.

How the world gets created is up to you but some dates to follow:

2030: Year started 2040: If you have Eco Lifestyle, you can put a generator on the lot and slowly phase out using the Off The Grid lot trait 2060: School reopens 2060-2080: Heir for Gen 3 discovers herbology and studies to make medicine to sell and lower the young death percentage.
