Create the Founder:

Use the story function in CAS to create your founder. (For this, I recommend being as random as possible with your answers to the quiz. Don’t even look at them if you can avert your gaze as you click, choose only the top answers, only the middle ones, etc.)

Must be a YA.

Founder must be a mortal (no supernaturals).

You can randomly create multiple sims doing this and pick your favorite as your founder if you wish. You CANNOT however change their traits/aspiration once you leave CAS, so keep that in mind!*

Pets are allowed but not recommended.

Getting Started:

Move your single sim into a starter home that they can afford (no free real estate cheat) either furnished (story mode) or unfurnished (nightmare mode).

Once you've moved in and are settled, cheat household funds down to 0. If playing on nightmare mode you are allowed to keep 1800, but it must be used on furnishing your house. Household funds must be less than 100 when you click that play button!

Don’t forget to put lifespan on short!

Optional: Turn off aging for unplayed households. This isn’t required, but will help keep your sims worlds full and lively since they all die so quickly on short lifespan.

Story Mode Goals:

Complete your aspiration before becoming an elder.

Reach level 10 of your career.

Max 2 skills.

Have at least one child.

Nightmare Mode Goals:

Complete two aspirations in your lifetime. You may switch between them as you go. *If playing on this mode: Once you leave CAS with your founder you can pick any other aspiration you like to be their second, but it CANNOT be in the same aspirational category (ie. if your sim has the soulmate aspiration, you cannot also give them the serial romantic aspiration).

Reach level 10 of your career.

Max 3 skills.

Have at least one child.

Challenge Rules to Follow:

As with most challenges, cheats (unless otherwise specified) are not allowed!

You cannot move another sim into your household unless they are your fiancee/spouse.

All future children must be given traits with the randomizer (no picking and choosing for yourself).

Number of children each generation has is completely up to you. Keep in mind certain aspirations will require you to have multiple kids!

Next gen heir must also be picked randomly. Have them roll, pick names out of a hat, etc.

Your next gen starts as soon as you complete all goals and your heir is a young adult!

Do this for 10 generations, but each generation heir MUST have a different aspiration and career. All traits can be used more than once (as we have such a limited supply to begin with).

You may use the potion of youth if you can afford it, but it can only be used ONCE PER GENERATION and only on adults or elders (no young adults). For Nightmare Mode, you may only use the potion of youth if your sim is already an elder and close to passing (this is mainly so your sims have at least SOME time with their grandparents since elders on short lifespan pass away so quickly).

I’m still playtesting this challenge myself, so please check this post for any possible updates I may make! My one tip for this challenge would be to embrace the randomness :) Good luck and happy simming. xo
