What is For Love or Money?
For Love or Money is an obscure real-life reality show that aired in the early 2000’s. It’s similar to most reality dating shows, but with a twist: the contestants may be in it to win the bachelor(ette)’s love, or to win a certain amount of money. Choosing love will cause the winning contestant to forfeit his or her cash prize, while choosing money will forbid any further contact with the season’s bachelor(ette).
In this game, I will use the Season 3 format. Each contestant will be assigned a random monetary value ranging from 1 to 1 million simoleons. They will be oblivious to the amount, but the show’s Bachelorette will know each man’s prize. This will influence her decision on whom to eliminate. Once she picks a man in the finale, the guy will either choose to be with the bachelorette (love), or receive his cash prize, whose value he doesn’t know. If he chooses the bachelorette, the bachelorette in turn can decide if she chooses him back, or if she’ll take his monetary prize instead.
How do I enter?
You can secure a slot on the show on a first-come, first-served basis. As long as you express interest while there are available slots, you’re in. The show will be played in The Sims 4. I will accept 8 male sims. Please provide the following information:
• Picture
• Name
• Age (in human years)
• Occupation (or whatever title you want shown during confessionals)
• Traits
• Biography/background
• CC links (if any)
• Your Origin gallery ID
Here are a few restrictions:
• Must be a Young Adult or an Adult
• Must have minimal CC. A few pieces are okay, but don’t overdo it.
• Must not be offensive. Any form of bigotry in appearance or in background will not be accepted.
• Must be fresh out of CAS. I might have challenges that rely on how sims perform in in-game tasks, so it wouldn’t be fair if your sim already has traits or skills that could help.
Once you’ve posted your sim, you need to message me in private whether your guy is playing for love or for money. You can message me throughout the show to change this as the situation evolves.
How will the game work?
The game will actually require minimal input from the creators. I will be adapting some of the rules of the Bachelor challenge for this game, with a few added twists. Each contestant will be assigned a cash prize as mentioned earlier, which will be kept secret from the sims and the players themselves (for suspense). Possible amounts include:
• $1
• $25,000
• $50,000
• $100,000
• $250,000
• $500,000
• $750,000
• $1,000,000
The sims operate on free will for the most part, where the contestants’ goal is to become closer to the bachelorette. As per the Bachelor rules, the bachelorette may be directed to perform actions on other contestants if she rolls a whim for it, or during group and one-on-one dates. Every few days, there will be an elimination ceremony, where one guy will end up leaving the show until only two are left.
During elimination, the men will be ranked based on their relationship points with the bachelorette, whose values will be kept secret for suspense. Next, they will be ranked by their cash prizes. Each contestant's ranking for both categories will be averaged, which will be that contestant's final ranking. The top half in this final ranking will be safe for that round. The bottom half will then be ranked by their relationship with the Bachelorette. The guy with the lowest relationship among the bottom half will be eliminated.
During the finale, the bachelorette will choose the man she has the highest relationship with. HOWEVER. If the guy chooses the bachelorette, I will use a formula to decide whether the bachelorette reciprocates or simply wants his money. It will go:
The result of this formula must at least be 140 for the bachelorette to choose the guy. A guy with a larger cash prize will suffer a bigger penalty in this situation. Think of it as a bigger prize presenting a stronger temptation, which means the bachelorette and the man in question must be really close for her to forego such a huge amount.Friendship score + Romance score – (30 x (guy’s cash prize/maximum possible prize))
Occasionally there will be challenges that could give your contestant an advantage, such as a one-on-one date with the bachelorette, or revealing your cash prize. These challenges will be based on how your sims perform in in-game tasks. Occasionally I might have a challenge that requires your input. If you don’t respond in a reasonable amount of time, I’ll be forced to randomize or respond based on your sim’s character. But for the most part, you can sit back and relax as you watch how well your sim does in seducing the bachelorette.

Name: Aaron Newman
Age: 22
Occupation: Biology student
Traits: Loves The Outdoors, Bookworm, Clumsy
Biography/background:
Aaron grew up with his mother in Bridgeport. He never got to meet his father since he left before Aaron was even born. His mom didn't like talking about him and never told him the reason why he disappeared but Aaron always had the feeling it had something to do with him. He was pretty certain that his father simply didn't want to have any children and therefore he decided to not want to get to know him either. He didn't need a dad after all.
His mother owned a cute little flower shop where Aaron helped out as much as he could. He discovered his love for plants there and dreamed about being a freelance botanist one day. He has always been a fan of nature and thinks people should treat it better. It saddens him that so many forests get cut down and lots of meadows and other green areas have to vanish to make room for more buildings and parking lots. That's why he never liked living in the city. He would love to own a small cottage with a big garden near the countryside in Hidden Springs where he could grow his own produce and make a living from selling it.
To achieve this goal and learn more about his favorite plants, Aaron decided to study biology. He spent a lot of time in the college's library reading books about herbalism and agriculture. This is where he met Annie who was also a student but helped out at the library from time to time. She seemed to be a nature enthusiast like Aaron and they quickly became best friends. He was oblivious to see that she had a big crush on him though since he had never expirienced anything like this before. When she finally expressed her feelings for him, Aaron didn't know how to react and it became pretty awkward between them. He feared to lose Annie as a friend and tried to make everything right but as the clumsy klutz he is, he ended up putting his foot in his mouth a lot. Eventually, she got over it and decided to sign him up for "For Love or Money" in hopes he would finally find love or at least learn how to handle it.
Name: Milo Ortega
Age: 23
Occupation: Chef
Traits: Lazy, Foodie, Romantic
Biography/background:
Truthfully, Milo's never been one to lust after fame; in fact, he has always been content with the fact he is from a normal family who reside in a normal city and who are detached from the world of celebrities who have far too much money and far too many pathetic public feuds. But his sister convinced him to sign up for 'For Love or Money' some seven months after he had broken things off with his ex-girlfriend, Laura, who he had been dating for over six years.
Milo studied food science in college, but he dropped out after the first year because he simply could not be bothered. However, once he realised adulthood was not as easy as he had originally thought (possibly due to the chastising he received from his parents in response to the news he had decided to stop attending college), he struggled for quite a while. His distant friend from college contacted him about a small restaurant his father owned a few months after Milo initially quit his education, and he took up the offer of work swiftly. Though it was hardly a popular or proper restaurant, it was a nice and pleasant place. There were regulars that Milo came to befriend and most of his co-workers were more than bearable, so it made the job that much easier for Milo.
It just so happened that on Milo's 23rd birthday, his girlfriend decided she did not want their relationship to continue. He had mixed emotions, of course, and he alternated for weeks afterwards between understanding why she did felt the need to do so and not comprehending her reasons at all. But those weeks turned to months and someone - his sister - had to step in and snap him out of it.
So here he is on 'For Love or Money'. He is still not sure whether he really wants to be here, but he knows his family and friends do, so he will try to find joy while also possibly finding love on the show.
Name: Min Kyu Tak
Age: 20
Occupation: Urban Dance Teacher
Traits: Self Assured, Musical, Dance Machine
Biography/background:
At the young age of 20, Min Kyu is looking for a lovely lady friend to keep him 'company'. Well, he already has a few to keep him company but they apparently don't exactly want what he wants. You see, attempts to seduce a lovely lady, Arla Mason, royally failed. Arla is 7 years older, but quite a looker and as their friendship grew, Min Kyu thought they were headed somewhere Arla did not. Arla ended up only having eyes for Min's older brother, Hyeun Joon! And it seems Hyeun Joon had eyes for Arla too so as you can imagine things got a little awkward for Min. Not only this, but Min had also been rejected by his childhood best friend and roommate, Aurora Lewis. She has been too caught up on this new hunka junk she has met at college so it seems Min Kyu is out of the picture. The two lovely ladies he lives with have no interest in him so who is going to keep him company? Min Kyu has decided to join this gameshow in hopes that he will walk away with something in his hunt for a lady friend and not just utter embarrassment and awkwardness like the first two times!
Now to focus a little more on Min as a person... Min has always been into dancing. He loves dancing and during school, he had some pretty rough friends. He has always been a bit doubtful of his talents under the surface but all in all Min is a pretty big headed guy with plenty of reassurance coming from himself. He is the bees knees at dancing and making up the best moves to go with the best beats. Perhaps this contributed to his embarrassment of rejection twice. Min thought he could get anyone he wanted, really. But apparently the ones he wants are not the ones who want him!
Name: Tyne Forkmann
Age: 27
Occupation: Line Cook at The Happy Lobster
Traits: Glutton, Jealous, Lazy
Biography/background:
Tyne grew up in San Myshuno, the son of a garbage collector and repair person. Needless to say, he never saw his father, and only started to see his mother several years after his birth. It was like they didn't exist. Pretty much on his own, Tyne spent his formative years hanging out at the dockside where he developed a keen love of seafood. Since he rarely saw his family, he developed deep friendships at his place of employment and grew to consider them his family. However, when his old friends found love interests of their own, he felt abandoned by them. Betrayed. One of the waitresses at The Happy Lobster recommended that he apply to be a contestant on "For Love or Money" (probably so he would stop marching up and down her street, back and forth, countless times a day). Tyne thought this might be a good opportunity for him to find a soul mate, someone with whom to start a family. Or a good way to earn enough simoleons so he wouldn't be chained to the line and could spend his life once again being happy: Fishing at the dockside.
Name: Leroy Jordan
Age: 30
Occupation: High school teacher
Traits: Romantic, Creative, Loves Outdoors
Biography/background:
Leroy entered a show named ‘Locked’ to raised money for his little sister. She needed an operation badly to be able to walk again. And Leroy was very lucky to won the show. He got the money and now his not so little sister anymore, can walk again. It’s now about five or six years later and his sister saw the advertisement of the bachelorette show and begged him to enter.
“Brother it’s now ‘Leroy’ time… Go and make yourself happy!” was her words when she gave him the entry form.
Name: Dax Waverly Cove
Age: 27
Occupation: Professional Surfer
Traits: Outgoing, Loves Outdoors, Family-Oriented
Biography/background:
When Isla Paradiso native Dax Waverly Cove turned eight, his parents died in a freak speedboat accident. He had no living relatives, so he was placed in the local orphanage. The couple who ran it took the kids to the nearby beach as often as possible, which was where he learned to surf. Surfing helped heal his broken heart, and in the meantime, a passion and natural talent developed that would follow him into adulthood.
After winning multiple surfing championships, twenty-two-year-old Dax was surfing during a normal routine Monday morning when a shark attacked him. Thankfully, he was still lying on his board as he awaited a wave. Dax punched him in the eye area several times until it let him go and swam away, leaving him with bloody and shredded skin. A nearby friend helped pull him back to shore and an ambulance took him to the hospital. They found the shark had only managed to sink his teeth into his back, missing major organs and arteries thanks to his surfboard, which protected the front of his body. After receiving twenty-four stitches, antibiotics, and a few days in the hospital, he was released. Within a year, he was back on the beach with a new surfboard and a renewed passionate determination. Though many would think him crazy, others would applaud him for his courage.
Currently, he still surfs and competes, but he’s also opened up his own local surfing shop in Isla Paradiso. The orphanage he grew up in is still open and thriving with the same couple. Ever since his parents died, he’s wanted to be part of a family since his ended abruptly. So, in his spare time, he gives free lessons to any of those kids who want to try surfing. He hopes to show them how beautiful life is riding the waves in the bright island sun. Someday, he'd like a family of his own, in hopes to continue his family line and fulfill another dream.
Dax is a friendly guy who loves spending time in the great outdoors, though he does hate lizards (it's the tails, I think), which is rough on an island in the tropics. A friend signed him up for this show and, which Dax protested to, his friend eventually talked him into it. Unfortunately, surfing has always kept him pretty busy, so his many past relationships have been shortlived. He’s pretty laid back with most things in life except his surfboard, which he maintains like it’s made of gold, he saw how Kate Tate reacted on the previous season of the show. He completely understood why she did what she did and vowed to not allow any lady to sink her teeth into him like the shark did. Most women never seem to allow for his obsessi----er----enthusiasm for surfing. Though he knows he would need to allow for more time with that special lady one day, he also needs her to understand his need to surf. He’s not sure he could ever give it up completely. After all, it’s his livelihood.

Name: Daniel Ledger
Age: 28
Occupation: Police Officer
Traits: Outgoing, Self Assured, Active
Biography/background:
Daniel grew up with his parents and his younger sister Stella in a suburb of San Myshuno. His childhood was great and he still has a good relationship with his family. They had a house with a big garden but the young boy prefered staying inside playing games on his computer. The lack of sport caused him to be chubby throughout his childhood.
For his extra pounds he was mocked at school. His freckles and tooth gap added to the mocking. He only had one friend but he didn't mind because he was a real one. As he went to high school, his best and only friend moved away with his family and Daniel was on his own. The mocking became worse and one day he decided to change his life.
He couldn't change his freckles or tooth gap but he could change his body shape and pale skin. He started working out and his parents - proud to see their son not sitting in front of his computer all day anymore - bought him some sports supplies to support him. He then started to play all kinds of ball games and made it into the school's football team.
There he made it to the team captain and found many new friends. He was no longer Daniel because they either called him Dan or Danny. His more active life changed his appearance a lot and most girls at his high school wanted to date him. As a young man, Daniel very often took advantage of his looks and dated a lot of those girls - mainly cheerleaders - and sometimes even more than one at a time.
After his graduation he went to the police academy because he had always admired the hard and exciting work of policmen. He finished this school as one of the best and now works at the San Myshuno Police Department, trying to climb up the career. His good looks and his uniform now caused him to get every woman he wanted to date.
Now that he's approaching the 30s, all this dating and playing around with women feels wrong to him. Daniel has finally grown up and wants to settle down. His dream is to find a woman to marry and have children with, move to Newcrest and become chief of the Newcrest Police Department. Feeling like he has already dated every woman in San Myshuno, he wants to try finding his future wife on For Love or Money.
