Proud to announce the final version of the first part of my resistance challenge: the doomsday preppers. I had fun creating it and hope others do too
The Resistance Challenge-The Doomsday Preppers rules
By Daniel N Aka Armorty/Armortty
Story: You and a couple of others are skeptics about the SimCity government. You believe they know of an upcoming apocalypse and are only telling the elite and wealthy members of society. Your sims trust no businesses and therefore relies on the criminal career, stealing, and hobbies to make money. You try to move as far away from society as possible.
Setup:
Create three to seven sims. These sims must have all these traits amongst them: Erratic, Hot-headed, Evil, Self-assured, Kleptomaniac, Mean, Loner. For the whole challenge, you must pick one sim not to play at all. This rule does not apply if they are the last sims alive or with things like getting a job, resetting, coming back home.
You can choose any lot to live in, but you must demolish buildings nearby. The exception includes parks, other challenge homes, or other doomsday preppers households.
You must pick three of these lot traits, but you can change them as the challenge goes on: Convivial, Cursed, Grody, Mean vibes, Homey, Quake Zone, Private Dwelling, Filthy, Creepy Crawlies, Peace and Quiet, Haunted, Great Soil, Volcanic Activity (you may also choose off-grid to simulate the challenge)
Build a fence around the whole lot and add a gate to allow your sims to leave the lot for jobs
Set the money to Zero but add 1000 simoleons per sim
You may build a shelter/4 walls but no rooms at this time.
You may only buy 3 of these essential items at this point: beds, tents, toilets, trash cans, bushes, showers, sinks, fridge/cooler, ovens, grills. You can, however, buy as many of the 3 items as you want and can exchange them throughout the game. You may buy candles and as many doors as you want
You may choose either two paths: Controlled or Rebellion.
Pays bills-Controlled
Don’t pay bills-Rebellion
Promotions:
Petty thief-unlocks one of the essential items
Ringleader- woodworking bench
Felonious Monk- one of the essential items
Minor Crimelord-Ability to go to Granite Falls or Selvadora. If you do not have either of these you may create a world of parks, pools, or any lot for other doomsday preppers to enhance their survival

Small Details:
You especially do not trust any vampire, Alien or occult NPC’s. You believe the government created them to kill you. So, if you figure out someone is one you must exterminate them
You cannot talk to any rich or high career leveled sim. The exception to the rule is performing mean or mischief interactions in order to fulfill job or aspiration achievements
Until you reach the Oracle branch your sim cannot use their phone (except to play games or quit the job). The reason is the perceived notion that the government can control and hack phones
.
Mods or cheats that give you an advantage over someone playing vanilla are not allowed. You can add story progression mods and other gameplay mods that don’t make skills, friendships, promotions, etc easier.
You must have 400 simoleons per sim that are leaving in the household fund to be able to leave anywhere
If you have a mod that allows students not to go to the school that’s fine. If not, for story sake, then pretend they are being sent to militia training/survival/doomsday prep school.
You may create your own park with both all the park necessaries plus any items you want is right under the circumstances. Unlike other parks, you may not steal from this lot
