Note: Original creator Isaria (mod the sims) all original content was created by her so the original idea is not by me.

Amazon Challange
You start as a young brave amazon woman who builds her tribe over the course of time.

The Beginning
-Begin with a YA Female
-She needs to be beautiful
-She needs to be Athletic and a Genius
-You need to start in a empty lot (Preferably the biggest)

Rules
-Because its an amazon tribe only women. Men are allowed but only Male Slaves, Breeding Males and Tribal Sons
-Men have their own quarters (must be small). They should not mix with females but only for breeding purposes.
-Men should only be used for breeding and slaves.
-Men for breeding have to be discarded (It's your choice on what to do.)
-You can only create amazons with CAS every 2 weeks but you can invite townies to become amazons whenever you want
-Slaves can be won in combat, an amazon (preferably the warrior) must fight him and if she wins you can add him to the tribe.
-You can only have two male slaves (not including teens, kids or babies) too many men will spoil the tribe.
-Males born in the tribe are to be used as slaves until their YA birthday. Then they have to be killed. Before killing a tribe son, a non related woman can use him for breeding purposes, once. A tribe-born male is cleaner than other males and if you wish, they can be buried in a special cemetery on the lot (this cemetery can NOT be mixed with deceased females, since male corpses will contaminate the female ones).
-Men cannot leave the lot or get a job
-Boys still go to school (There really isn't any other choice)
-Newcomers shall not bring in any money. To get rid there money do this:
Enter: Testingcheats true Then Money x (x is amount)
-A women who gets engaged or married to a man is to be punished by death.
-The heiress is the first born female of the creator she will take over in the event of the creators death.
-A heiress can overthrow the creator but she must have the support of the amazons. This is usually done through a fight if she wins the creator will be executed but if she is unsuccessful she will be banished from the tribe.
-The creator can not be married but other amazons can marry each other.
-To get to a certain rank they need to at least have some skill-points in most of the specializations. They also need to have a fitting job (if possible). This is if nothing else is mentioned. Upon raising in rank, they can change to a more fitting career.

She is the next in line to the throne and this rank is only given to the descendants of the creator.

She is the strong and fierce amazon in charge of protecting The Creator and tribe. She will be in charge of conducting punishments and executions and is just below the heiress in the hierarchy. She must train in fitness and will not be able to have children but can take partners. She is fierce and is allowed to sentence amazons and slaves to death or punishment (unless they are a priestess, shaman or a heiress then they are judged by the creator).
Traits:Active, Ambitious
Skills: Fitness

The Gatherer
She is in charge of collecting food and gardening. She is not allowed to get a job she has to spend her days collecting and gardening.
Skills: Gardening, Fishing

Scholars

Skills: Charisma, Logic, Painting, Writing


Providers
They cook and tend to the children and babies. They are also in charge of learning instruments and playing for the tribe.
Skills: Cooking, Charisma, Guitar, Violin


Newcomers and Tribe Family
These are girls born from the creators and heiresses. And the ones added in without a field yet.
Skills: Added when ranking chosen

Elders
They are the aged amazons and the ones you go to for wisdom. They will be given a well respected funeral. They cannot take on any career


Sons of the tribe
Will be used as slaves until the age of YA, there after they can be used once for breeding, before being killed.

Slaves
A maximum of two can be in the tribe at the same time. These need to have a small place to live, since they shouldn’t mix with the females too much. They take care of things like cleaning, repairing and such. If a slave interacts with a female without permission, he will be punished. Can’t work, or even leave the lot. If they try to escape, they’re to be punished.


Tips!

*Different ranks should wear different colours and clothing.
*Here are some face paints that would look great on your amazons. (http://tinyurl.com/hqoa8ly)
*To have woohoo with a slave and not have a relationship you can create a club and have one activity be woohoo but an easier method is through the mc command woohoo module that allows woohoo without a relationship.

!!Outdoor Retreat Update!! & !!Jungle Adventure Update!!

Your amazons can now venture further than ever before here are some of the new things added for Outdoor Retreat & Jungle Adventure.

Tribe Rankings

Shaman (Exclusive to Outdoor Retreat)
The shaman is the amazon that connects with the spirits and sees the life giving nature of this world. She will be the one to seek for ailments and advice from the spirits. She will need the herbalsim skill which is gained through gardening she will also have to prepare herbal remedies. She must also once in her life journey to the hermits house to gain knowledge.
Traits: Loner, Loves Outdoors
Note: Elders are allowed to be shaman's

Explorer
She must go on quests for creator and travel to far worlds to seek new objects, sacred relics & creatures she will either go alone but she can take the shaman and the scholar if she chooses.
Traits: Loves Outdoors, Outgoing

Things to do

Grand High Meeting Of the Amazons
The amazons every week shall meet around the fire pit to discuss further plans for the tribe (it's also a good time for you to think about the future). During this the creator must talk to the shaman about what the spirits sees and her judgment of the spirits (Read next text). This can also be a time to introduce newborns to the rest of the tribe.

Judgement of the spirits
With this the creator must talk to the shaman during the amazon meeting where the shaman will give her a quest to complete in the sacred lands of granite falls or the home of the amazons in Selvadorada. She must go alone and complete the tasks that she was presented with by the shaman or a high priestess.

!!Spa Day Update!!

Tribe Rankings

Sisters of The Moon (Priestess)
Sisters of The Moon connects with the goddess's on a whole other level. She is wise and connects to the nature around her. She must master the wellness skill as taking on a seclusive life connecting with everything around her. Sisters are not allowed to be in any romantic relationships with other amazons or procreate with slaves so only amazons that have never slept with anyone else are allowed to take this role. Sisters of the moon must be chosen as soon as they are a child if it is decided that the girl will join the sisterhood she must go live with the other sister's who have their own hut (the sisters hut can be placed with the other amazons). Slaves are allowed NO interaction with the sisters with the consequence of death. They will need to take on a life of meditation and yoga and will perform ceremonies for the goddess (these ceremonies are entirely up to you).
Note: You can have a specific goddess for your tribe so you may want the goddess of fire if so the sisters will dress in bright robes with similar colours to fire. The moon goddess is just the generic choice.
Traits: Loves Outdoors (Can change depending on your goddess)
Skill: Wellness


Things To Do

Sister Ceremonies
With the introduction of the sisters you will host ceremonies to please the goddess's. These will run entirely up to you but some idea's are a sisters ceremonial mediation circle, slave sacrifice and food offerings. Although the moon goddess is the main goddess you are allowed to make your own up for your tribe.

!!Get Together Update!!

Amazons will now be closer than ever with this new addition.

Tribe Rankings


Entertainer

This amazon is out to entertain the tribe gaining new skills set out to impress the rest of the amazons with her dancing. She must master the dance skill and under a full moon the Amazons will gather together to witness her beauty and elegance. She will use the bonfire to her full advantage and learn to dance with the fire. She also has to master all the instruments available to your amazons.
Traits: Creative, Music Lover, Dance Machine
Skills: Dance & Music

Things to Do

Amazon Club
The amazons with a set ranking (no slaves, newcomers, elders or tribe family) will form the grand high council of the amazons (name is up to you) in this group they will come together to do the set out tasks chosen by you. You need to cater these tasks to your own amazon tribe (e.g. A nature tribe will do gardening and spend time outdoors). There are tasks that will be forbidden and they are any romantic interactions, slave activities, games, drinking or excessive eating as well as anything that will spoil the amazons. They must discuss the future of the tribe and strengthen their bond you can choose the place to meet but I recommend the natural pools and the ruins. If you have outer tribes they can form a club with you but you must create a separate club.

New Place To Live

The expansion added Windenburg which has great new areas to live. I recommend you demolish all lots on the island and move your amazons to the 64x64 lot there. Not only is it massive but it is very stranded and can be used for strong immersion purposes. It is close to the ocean which allows for alot of fishing and it is surrounded by ruins which would go very well with your tribe.

!!Vampire Game Pack Update!!

All Vampire Amazons
This is an option if you want to try something new. All roles would stay the same even the gatherer since you still need to make money. Slaves would not be allowed to be turned since they would be more usefull as walking plasma packs and would still need to work in the daytime. The Creator is the only Amazon to be made into a vampire with CAS and if you want to turn an existing Creator then you'll have to cheat with cas.fulleditmode since The Creator holds the highest rank and can have no master. The Creator must turn all the amazons herself if an amazon is to be punished or executed eating garlic or trapping her in broad daylight works.

Warrior (Vampire Pack Version)
She is the strong and fierce amazon in charge of protecting The Creator and tribe. She will be in charge of conducting punishments and executions and is just below the heiress in the hierarchy. She must train in fitness and will not be able to have children but can take partners. If she is human she will make sure that no Vampires will come near the tribe so she must study cures and garlic items to protect the tribe. She is fierce and is allowed to sentence amazons and slaves to death or punishment (unless they are a priestess, shaman or a heiress then they are judged by the creator).
Traits:Active, Ambitious
Skills: Fitness

!!Pet Update!!

Pet Companions
Now Amazons can have the companions they deserve. Out from the ocean came a new amazon called the beast tamer, she is a friend to all animals and is the amazon to train and care for pets (not including animals for worship). She is not meant to be the main companion and her role is mainly caring for animals like washing,feeding and training. She must also find strays or raise puppy's for those who request one. Pets can be for companionship, hunting or worship. Companionship pets are only permitted for high ranking amazons like the the creator and heiress (so they must have the highest relationship) the beast tamer must train them to obey all commands. Pets for hunting are permitted for warriors (only large dogs are used as companions for warriors), gatherers, explorers and shamans and must be trained by the beast tamer to better hunt animals and trained to obey all commands. These animals will hunt for creatures to sell and and be a fierce companion to the warrior. The last type of animal are the ones to be kept for worship. If a goddess is tied to a specific animal (i.e. cat goddess or goddess of nature) animals are kept with the high priestess and are to be cared for and worshiped by them. There are two ways to find pets the first is through CAS but if you choose this way it has to be created as a puppy and raised by the beast tamer till they are an adult. The second is for the beast tamer to go out and find strays in good condition and train them till they are fit enough to be given away. The pets must always be female if a mistake is made and the animal is male then it must be given up for adoption but if the animal is docile and relatively small they can be given to slaves.

Beast Tamer
She is one with nature and works with all animals. Her role is to train and care for pets and to give them away to select amazons. If an Amazon requests an animal it's the tamers role to either find a stray or raise a puppy from CAS to be the amazons companion. The amazon must train the animal to obey all the commands. In her spare time she is to make sure all animals have food and are clean. If she has a child she can train her to become a beast tamer by giving her a pet and teaching her how to care for the animal.
Aspiration: Animal
Skills: Pet Training

Type of Pets
There are three types of pets..

Companion
The companion is only permitted to be kept by the creator or the heiress and is there to simply be around and keep the amazon company. Before the beast tamer can hand the pet over she must train the animal to obey every command.
Breeds: The animal can be big or small, cat or dog it's really up to the amazon.
Traits: If going through CAS you can choose any except territorial (cats) or aggressive (dogs)

Hunter
These pets are permitted to be kept by the warrior, shaman, explorer and gatherers. These animals are there to hunt for there masters and need to be trained to hunt and obey every command by the beast tamer.
Breeds: The shaman and gatherers are allowed a cat or large dog preferably a breed that are known to be good hunters. The warrior or explorer are only allowed a large dog, again preferably a breed that is known for hunting.
Traits: Hunter and adventurous is a must but you can pick a third (as long as it doesn't conflict). The Warriors are different as their pet has to have hunter and aggressive and you may choose the third.

Worship
These pets are to be cared for and looked after by the priestesses. The pet must in some way connect with the goddess and unlike the other animals is not trained or cared for by the beast tamer.
Breed: Any, as long as it aligns with the goddess (i.e. Nature Goddess represented by the fox)
Traits: Any, this animal is the physical embodiment of the goddess so they are already perfect.

!!Island Living Update!!

With this new ep your amazons will have a whole new world to live in as well as a new life state fit for your amazons. Your Amazons should be put into the Mua Pel'am hood as it has the largest lot available and is the most deserted allowing privacy for your tribe.

Mermaid only Amazons
So, with the introduction of mermaids comes the opportunity for mermaid amazons. For a mermaid tribe you will need two things to begin with and that is a creator and mermadic kelp. The creator will need to be a mermaid and will only be able to take in amazons after she has collected mermadic kelp (how you do this is your choice). The creator will choose who is blessed with the gift of mermadic kelp and it's up to you how this is judged. It can be due to an amount of time with the tribe or how much they've done for the tribe. You could simply give the kelp as soon as they enter the tribe. Slaves are not allowed to become mermaids as they have not earned such a gift.

Off the Grid
With the new lot trait, it is recommended that the tribes live off the grid (this is also available within the base game). This gives more for slaves and gatherers to do so be aware that this will create a more challenging game. It does also help that fishing is now far more in depth, so the gatherers are now more important than ever.

Island Caretaker
So, with the new amazon location comes a challenge of protecting the land. The caretaker is the one to make sure Sulani is kept clean and looked after. She makes sure the local wildlife is happy and the plants are thriving (she and the gatherer are to work closely together). She is the only one permitted to find shells and treasure and she has the greatest knowledge of what can be taken and what needs to be left alone.

Traits: Child of the Ocean & Child of the Island
Skills: Logic


More to come...

Note: The grand high meeting can be done without outdoor retreat. The warrior can be done without the Vampire GP.

    -A women who gets engaged or married is to be punished by death.
    -The creator can not be married but other amazons can marry each other.

    I LOVE the challenge but these rules conflict? unless I'm not understanding them right?

    and to do the same with the slaves

    This kind of challenge is really hard without the locking doors option, isn't it?

    Not really I make the homes like small huts so they usually don't. It would be helpful but can be played without it.

    I just posted my own challenge inspired by this one here at: forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/800004/the-amazon-prime-how-to-build-a-cult-challenge#latest I hope you don't mind, but I saw this one and the creative juices started to flow. I gave you and Isaria credit, since I used a lot of the same rules. I hope you enjoy it, too! :D
  • KingCobblerKingCobbler Posts: 176 Member
    I just started writing on my challenge that was inspired by this one. I thought I'd link here in case anyone's interested: simschallenges.com/amazon-prime-build-cult-sims-4-challenge/

    When moving in a new female you are normally suppose to create her yourself but females who are married would not be allowed to join the tribe. (Unless they are married to another women)

    Is anyone doing a story with this challenge? I love the idea of it but really have no idea where to start. I like to gather inspiration from other like minded simmers.

    I thought I would give this challenge a try! It sounded so interesting and totally different. In all my simming years I've never tried a challenge before, so it's kind of a big deal for me. ;)

    This is my creator, Freya North.
    tumblr_nh9crrtsRE1rj73rzo2_1280.png

    I imagined her as a sort of living Norse goddess, hence the name. I think she'll make a good leader!

    I've made a cute little wooden home, and I've used only black furniture for her. I had a thought that the creator should wear all black, so I thought I would carry that through into the décor.

    I have to admit, I've kinda broken the rules already :confused: Sorry! I added Zoe Patel as a fellow Amazonian, and then I 'recruited' J Huntingdon III before realising that both of these actions break the rules... I think it's going to be fun though. J has absolutely no idea what he's doing, and Zoe is too friendly and keeps trying to talk to him. No Zoe! Bad.

    I just wanted to say thanks for posting this challenge @lovejess2! I have this thread starred :star:

    Yay! I can't wait to see your creator!

  • SiddsysSiddsys Posts: 2 New Member
    I posted her on my Tumblr blog (EAGaming (BTW ITS NEW X'D)) I think she is so beautiful I'll be adding tattoos and makeup, but I just wanted to show her general look!

    If you can't see her name is Alkaia Chippewa (Thats a Native North American Tribe) And she is Genius, Athletic (DUH), and She Loves the outdoors!
  • PurplebutterflyPurplebutterfly Posts: 158 Member
    This sounds interesting, I might try this since I cannot enjoy my current rotation challenge.

    Here's a little update on my game so far!

    As I mentioned earlier, I added Zoe Patel and J Huntingdon III to my household before realising this was breaking the rules (woops). J got off to a shaky start, as he marched straight up to my creator Freya and tried to flirt with her. Bad J. To 'punish' him for speaking to her I moved him to his little hut and removed the door for 24 Sim hours, until he got the lonely moodlet. I actually felt quite bad, though, because he cried himself to sleep! :cry: However, I think it's been good for him, as the only entertainment he has in his hut is a bookshelf. I don't think J has ever read so much!

    tumblr_nhax9dzIOA1rj73rzo7_1280.png
    tumblr_nhax9dzIOA1rj73rzo8_1280.png

    I've decided to make Zoe a gatherer, so she has been busy collecting fruits/vegetables and fishing in the nearby river. She has also been cooking the meals for everyone using the produce she's collected, but she has a bit of learning to do. Freya got the uncomfortable moodlet because of 'poorly made food'.

    tumblr_nhax9dzIOA1rj73rzo1_1280.png
    tumblr_nhax9dzIOA1rj73rzo2_1280.png

    And finally, my creator Freya has been busy learning. She has big plans for her little tribe. She has been developing her handiness skills and hopes they can soon afford a crafting table so that she can make furniture and decorations for the tribe. She can also sell anything they don't want to use. She also loves going out and jogging around their neighbourhood, as they live in a very beautiful area. She tends to go for runs to clear her mind and help her plan for the future of her tribe.

    tumblr_nhax9dzIOA1rj73rzo5_1280.png

    This is Freya's little hut. I plan to build more little huts for each new member. I've built Zoe a little one, but I couldn't afford to furnish it yet, and J has a tiny little hut towards the back of the lot which eventually he will share... :grin: I'm really enjoying this challenge so far!
