Rags to Riches Challenge (Revised) - Sims 3
Created by HedvigsUnicorn & Revised by Simphora
Hey guys! A while ago, I told myself that I wouldn’t attempt to do another challenge until I completed the Sweet & Sour Legacy Challenge, but I lied. As of lately, I have been in the mood to do the Sims 3 Rags to Riches Challenge, but I noticed that it was a lil’ outdated. Sooo, I decided to add and change some of the rules to the Rags to Riches Challenge because I wanted to enhance and toughen the gameplay.
Disclaimer: I did not create the Rags to Riches Challenge. It was created by HedvigsUnicorn. I only revised it.

S T O R Y L I N E:
You’ll start with a blank slate—a single Sim with zero Simoleons. Your Sim has been dealt a rough hand in life and is now starting from the absolute bottom of society. They have nothing, but a will to survive and succeed. Will your Sim rise to the challenge? Or, will the weight of their past keep them from reaching the heights they dream of?
The choice is yours—but one thing is certain: success will come at a cost.
T H E U L T I M A T E G O A L:
In this challenge, you struggle your way from homelessness to a rich life! The goal of this challenge is to earn §100,000 in household funds, and fulfill your Sims Lifetime Wish.
R U L E S:
Create a Sim or select a Sim from a household. The Sim can be female or male, but they must be a Young Adult.
Style your Sim in a worn-out look to reflect a more rugged, carefree style.
Give your Sim the traits of your own choice, but you need to give them the ‘Living in the Lap of Luxury’ Lifetime Wish.
Have your Sim move into an EMPTY LOT of any size, and then build/upgrade your Sims house as you progress in earning Simoleons (Remember: your Sim has to live on the same lot the entire time, they cannot move until their Lifetime Wish is completed).
Feeling extreme? You are not allowed to buy a bed, toilet, shower, and a fridge until you have enough Simoleons to build a house. (OPTIONAL)
Change the household funds to §0. (Open the cheat window (CTRL, Shift, C), and type in "familyfunds ________ 0". Replace the lines with the last name of your Sim).
Visit friends'/partner houses or community lots for your Sims needs, if needed.
Relationships and marriages are allowed, but your Sims partner or spouse must be unemployed. And if they move in, deduct ALL of the Simoleons that your partner or spouse brings in.
Lifetime points can be used, but you cannot use inheritance or the Dusty Old Lamp.
No public transportation (ex: taxis and subways).
No stealing objects.
No engaging in real estate or growing money trees.
No purchasing any lottery tickets or traveling to the future to cheat the lottery.
Once your Sim has earned at least §10,000 in household funds, they are allowed to travel to other worlds.
Do NOT get a part-time/full-time job or profession. It will defeat the purpose of the challenge.
Do NOT use any money cheat codes (ex: motherload, kaching, or rosebud).
