24 Day Fiancé Challenge
By,
Charc
After playing The Legacy Challenge for years, I decided to try some more challenges and really start getting involved with The Sims community. After playing The Drifter Challenge, I had an idea for my first ever challenge. I really hope you have as much fun as I did playing through it.
If you’d like to keep track of the challenge, I created a Google Sheet to help. You can find it here. Please save a copy of it into your own drive or download it.
**Setup**
Optional:
- Pick a world your Sim won’t be living in. If you own Jungle Adventure or Outside Retreat, it’s easier to pick one of these for gameplay reasons.
- Edit the lots to match any culture you can think of. Here’s a website for a little inspiration: (https://brightside.me/wonder-places/this-is-what-typical-homes-from-around-the-world-really-look-like-219855/ )
- Once playing, feel free to edit the look of the locals by using a mod(if you have one) or by hitting Ctrl + Shift+ C and then entering “testingcheatsenabled true” – shift+click – edit in CAS.
Required:
-
- Start with any season
-
- Create your Sim. Your Sim must be a Young Adult, Adult, or Elder. (Choosing an elder can make the challenge really difficult) You can pick what you’d like or you can randomly generate traits and aspirations. https://createarandomsim.com/
-
- You may start with a child or children and/ or pets. Make sure that you leave one household slot for your fiance to take when he/she moves in.
-
- You may choose any lot and build a home, but it cannot exceed the funds you begin with. You may not use money cheats. You must leave at least 300 Simoleons for traveling.
-
- You can pick three lot traits. I use https://createarandomsim.com/
-
- After you are satisfied with your home, reduce your money down to 300 by hitting Ctrl + Shift+ C and then entering “testingcheatsenabled true” followed by money 300.
- Once you’re ready to play, go into live mode and hit play.
**Gameplay**
Not Allowed:
-
- Youth potions
-
- Becoming a Vampire
-
- Money Cheats (unless stated)
- Relationship altering cheats
Main Goals:
-
- You may begin the challenge as soon as you enter Live Mode, however the 24 day portion of the challenge will not start until you are living with your fiance.
- You may only play as the Sim that you created.
-
- Once play has begun, direct your Sim to get a job. I use https://createarandomsim.com/ for this as well.
-
- Once you have a job, select your cell phone and hit “Take A Vacation”. If you do not have either the Jungle Adventure or Outdoor Retreat packs, have your Sim travel to a lot that contains a bed, kitchen, and a bathroom.
- If you didn’t go to a vacation world, set you money to 40 simoleons.
- Once you have a job, select your cell phone and hit “Take A Vacation”. If you do not have either the Jungle Adventure or Outdoor Retreat packs, have your Sim travel to a lot that contains a bed, kitchen, and a bathroom.
-
- Once on vacation, begin introducing yourself to every Sim you meet. With each Sim, use the “Get to Know” interaction.
-
- The first Sim with either the materialistic, romantic, or erratic trait will be your future fiance.
-
- Once you find your fiance, try to get as high a friendship and romantic relationship as possible.
-
- You can stay no more than 2 days on your vacation.
-
- If you find your partner at Salvadorada, your romantic interest must be a local.
-
- After vacation, communicate at least twice per day, either by phone or computer.
-
- You cannot visit fiance until there is at least §1500 in household funds
-
- Can not stay more than 2 days
- If chosen sim has non-committal or klepto trait they cannot visit your Sim at all (the marriage must occur in fiances home area). If this situation occurs, your Sim may stay up to 24 days, however achieving the other goals of the challenge may become much harder.
-
- You cannot visit fiance until there is at least §1500 in household funds
-
- If fiance moves in, deduct money to prior amount. If prior amount was below 500, set simoleons to 500
-
- Once in household, fiance can be edited in CAS (appearance only)
- Sim can be given a job
-
- If fiance moves in, deduct money to prior amount. If prior amount was below 500, set simoleons to 500
- Sims cannot get married until 1 days before the 24 day period is up.
