Voltie — Sha/female Posted 7 years ago ( 2017/10/9 04:48:24 )
This is a gaming thread I have really been wanting to pull together and keep updated for those of us that play sims 4. I have a bunch of challenges I have been working on. (Mainly legacy challenges) I want to share them somewhere but I haven't posted even once on sims forums since I only got into the sims last December.

I want to share with others and see what challenges other people are doing as well.

I want to make some building challenges and would love to see what other people do as well. If I'm allowed I'm tinking of offering volts for my favorite one for this as well. But the winner will be getting featured in my livestream .
If you want me to be able to download and use/ see the house in all it's glory here are the rules.
No custom content
DLC that can be used: Vampires, city living, get to work,Parenthood, backyard stuff, kids room stuff, holiday celebrations pack, Halloween stuff.

Ideas:
Turn the goth house into something happy go lucky. Do not change the walls. Just the decorations and wall paper.
End date for challenge: halloween.

Not my build challenge but a cool one:
HollieBB on twitch/twitter made a "hollieween challenge"

Pre-built house challenges. The npc challenges.
Many of my challenges are ideas gained from other challenges but I have written these ones myself. Rules to be posted soon.
Willow Creek


The Goths live in a spooky black house fitting of their name with their two children. The house is known as Ophelia Villa and is on a 30 x20 lot. Their starting funds are $45,000 simoleans. The story tells that Mortimer writes macabre stories and Bella has random disappearances. Do you run with the story or do you do something else? Follows are some of the challenges I've made for this family.
Mortimor is a bookworm, creative, and outgoing. He works as a freelance writer (writing career level 3) and starts with a level 4 writing skill. His aspiration is to be a Renaissance Sim.
Bella is good, family-oriented, and romantic. She works as an intelligence researcher, hence her disappearances.(secret agent level 2) she starts the game with charisma level 2, fitness level 2, and programming level 2 for her skills. She only wants to be a party animal.
Cassandra is a gloomy, and creative teen who wants to be a musical genius. She starts with violin skill at level 2.
Alexander is a bookworm who wants to be a whiz kid. He starts at level 1 in the children skills.


Play however you want but try to get as many macabre books published as possible. How many did you get published, what were some of your spooky titles? Did you put an awesome description with them? Bonus challenge with this: keep track of how much you make on all the macabre books.
Challenge ends when Mortimer dies. He already starts in the adult age.

Cas challenges.
These are build a sim challenges similar to the build challenges. If I'm allowed I'm probably going to have a volts prize for this one. Otherwise it's just for fun like the 100 day cas challenge that's out there.

Create the NPCs in sims :D

I actually have sims 3 but it's not installed and I haven't played it nearly as much as 2 and 4. But he legacy challenges definitely has rules for all of the sims games. :) I just can't necessarily get it off the gallery to play in my livestream games because I don't know how and I stream 4. But you could definitely do similar and I'd love to see what you come up with!
