"Once a Lothario" Challenge
The Lothario family are a passionate people in all of their pursuits -from love to learning and everything in between, they know how to live life to the fullest. And it all started with the man, the myth, the legend himself... Don Lothario.
Overview
"Once a Lothario" is a base game legacy-style challenge with additional DLC options available. The purpose of this challenge is to explore the abandoned Achievement system in order to expand regular gameplay. Your Sims will challenge themselves by exploring romance beyond what might be typical, and attempting to meet criteria that may not be ordinarily reached.
The framing of the challenge is that the Lothario's pursue their passions (cooking, collecting, the paranormal, and more) with an unrivaled zest, and that they also can't resist filling their lives with tons of romance. I often found myself getting caught in the rut of "flit, flirt, kiss, hug, kiss, propose, marriage" and I wanted a fun way to explore relationships with my sims while also pushing myself to get creative with my goals. Thus the challenge was born!
Note: Achievements are finnicky. If cheats are enabled, they won’t trigger. They may not trigger anyway. If you accomplish an achievement and the game doesn’t recognize it - don’t worry! You know the truth! The same can be said about Sentiments.
Rules
The graphic below details the rules of the challenge. Keep in mind:
You must start as Don Lothario.
Avoid money cheats.
You decide relationship dynamics, and each generation can look different! Perhaps one heir is polyamorous, maybe another is a serial monogamist. And maybe someone takes directly after Don and enters into affair after messy affair. It's up to you!
All achievements, skills, goals, etc. can start being worked on as soon as they are available to your Sim.
Additional WooHoo and conquest information is at the very end. It includes WooHoo locations and life states to interact with that are DLC-locked.
Some generations have "bonus" achievements and/or aspirations. They are expected to be completed as part of that generation's challenge - they're only listed as bonuses because they are in addition to the standard 3 achievements and one aspiration. But remember, this is meant to be fun for you! If something doesn't feel right for your story, skip it.
