Challenge #2: Sims

Meet Rachel Hollis. She's always been crazy about christmas so when she discovered her skin's pigment made her sunburn very easily and left her a bright red all the time, she decided to colour her hair green to be more christmas-y. Her favourite colours are red and green.

Front and side profiles:

everyday, formal, pyjamas

athletic, swimsuit

Her traits are:
  • family oriented (family trait)
  • bookwurm
  • unflirty
  • mooch
  • nurturing


Her LTW is surrounded by family.

Challenge #2: Dilute the Ugly Gene

I'm unsure if any of you have heard of this before, but it works like the regular legacy challenge, with one difference..
You start off with the most ugly sim possible, and after 10 generations see if you have successfully diluted the ugly gene.
Follow regular 10-gen legacy rules. No marrying custom made characters.

Oh, and you can kill off the mother/father (NOT the original heir) of future heirs to make space for more in the family, if you so wish.

Now, of course, everyone will have a different idea of what makes someone (or your Sim) truly ugly, but here is my example.. Pushing body bars to the extremes is always helpful.

Suggested traits to make it harder (or more fun, depending on your play style..)
Clumsy, Coward, Dislikes Children, Insane, Inappropriate, Loser, Loner, Unlucky, Grumpy, Neurotic, Slob, Snob, etc. You may also include one positive trait, such as good, handy, etc.

Challenge #1: Recap

This challenge was rough especially since I started with two toddlers. Neither of them learned a single skill and the family lived outside for a LONG time. The toddlers slept on the floor until they were children, then they got sleeping bags like the rest of the family.

They all lived off of quick meals and we had some bathroom issues as the only seating in the house was a toilet. There was no sink so bowls got thrown out.

By the time the toddlers were about 1/2 way through their childhood, we had enough money to have a few beds. They had a two room house at this point.

After that, they had a boys room, girls room and dad's room. By that time, Keon had moved out and Heather had moved her husband in and gotten pregnant so they took dad's room. After Heather gave birth, they tried for another baby so their joy could be complete and moved out for a place of their own.

We had some incest going on (somehow) when Heather asked Tiffanie to the formal. She picked Tiffanie up for the dance in a limo. They wanted to go steady and apparently were kissing all night... WEIRD.

After that Tiffanie aged up and aged her boyfriend Mortimer Goth up with her as well. They tried for babies right away too. Tiffanie wanted a big family. In the middle of Tiffanie's pregnancy, when they house was redone, the bed bugged them out and I had to delete Mortimer. Thankfully after I moved out Tiffanie when she had the baby, Mortimer moved out with them. Tiffanie rejoined the household a little while later and surprise, was pregnant with her second.

Magdalena and Kenji were great in school and passed with flying colours. Magdalena had been single all through high school and had seen her sisters fall in love. Her LTW was to have a big family as well. Kenji, however, wanted nothing to do with kids after seeing the pain his sisters went through. He liked the kids enough, but didn't want his own.

Once Mags and Ken aged up, they both moved out separately and Tiff and Mort took over the household.

Challenge #1: Single Father With Five Kids

Rules:

Milo and Alice McDonald were a happily married couple with five daringly unruly children. Mrs. McDonald always managed to control them, with love and cookies. But when a terrible accident ripped the family apart by taring Alice from this world. Milo is left caring for his children alone.

First you should know, you don't need to use those names they are just what I used.

second you need to create a male adult Sim, any traits you want except "dislikes Children" this isn't one of those challenges. Then create five kids, at least two teens, one kid, and toddler the last one can be whatever you want. (I made a third teen for example)

You then moved them onto either an empty lot, or a four bedroom home. (depending on how hard you want to play) You can only have 2,000 dollars to your name, after the funereal experiences, dried up you/his bank account.

You quite your cushy bank job to be able to stay at home and raise the kids. You have to raise all five kids to adulthood, and until you get your first grandchild.

Rules:
Your father can only have a part time job or be self employed.
kids can be home schooled, but can't attend boarding school.
Teens can't have jobs! they have to focus on school...
No cheats, (besides "familyfunds" in the beginning)
