(Title is a work in progress)

This is the challenge I am tweaking. The basic idea is this...

IRL you are struggling with the way you grew up. You're learning all the ways your childhood years were a bust and how the adults in your life failed you. Maybe it was your parents, maybe it was your teachers... it doesn't matter. You were a child who needed nurturing and it didn't happen.

Ever think to yourself, "God, I could've raised myself better"? This is your chance to play this out.

You model Sim after your teen self, or use trait generators to create a random one.

You start with a small sum of money to create the very basics you need to live in a Sim world of your choice

You receive $100 a week as an allowance using money cheats. You do not pay bills. You may get a part-time job but you can't let your grades slip. You can be creative to earn money (grow/sell plants, provide pet/child care, upgrade broken appliances and sell parts, etc...)

Earn points for fulfilling whims, engaging in self-care activities, and engaging in real-life journaling exercises
