Xtreme Fixer Upper Farm Challenge
Welcome to the Xtreme Fixer Upper challenge, where your main goal is to renovate this rundown, abandoned farm in Windenburg, to make it liveable and sustainable as well as raising a family. You must earn money to fix up the farm (abiding by limitations and skill level requirements) without having a traditional career. I created this challenge to be as hard as I could make it - I love a struggle in the Sims. I also wanted to push myself to include gameplay that I haven’t done before.
You live a fast paced life in San Myshuno but after a health scare, you decide to make a change and move to the countryside to live an idyllic life on a farm. You sell your penthouse apartment and use all your money to buy a farm in Windenburg which only needs a little bit of TLC… When you arrive you are shocked by the derelict state of the farm, you roll up your sleeves and get going.
Setting the Scene
* Place a Community Maker Space on one lot in Windenburg (mine is on gallery ID: HookedOnSims). You will also need a Karaoke Bar and a Park
*You can place houses, community lots and households in all of the other lots
* Evict the household and bulldoze the Dresden House lot in Windenburg. Move your Sim onto this lot. Use the money cheat to give you enough Simoleons to do that.
*Download the Xtreme Fixer Upper Farm from my gallery (Gallery ID: HookedOnSims) and place it on the lot, then cheat your money to 0! Fight that Repo Man…
*The house and all the outbuildings have been condemned and you cannot enter them UNTIL specific requirements are met. Lock all the external doors of the buildings to make sure no-one can enter!
*Lot Challenges: Off-the-Grid, Simple Living (apply this when you start using the kitchen or grill), Gremlins, Filthy, Creepy Crawlies, Reduce & Recycle
* Play on Long lifespan as this challenge takes time!
General Rules
*You may use moveobjects cheat when renovating, but you cannot use cheats that will make the challenge easier. You may put your plants back to blossoming when they are in season and you experience the gardening glitch
*In order to renovate a specific area, you must have the funds AND specific skills
*Clearing items in live or build mode CANNOT add simoleons to your household so make sure to use the money cheat to reduce your funds back to the initial amount! (Keep a written record before you start clearing)
*Time restrictions are specified to limit the amount of renovations you can do per day
*You cannot hire any services or use Patchy or clubs to help you! If something breaks, you have to repair it
*You cannot use drag and drop to help your Sim clear up - they need to do it themselves!
*You cannot purchase ANY aspiration rewards or potions since they will make it easier BUT you can purchase Storm Chaser
*Any inedible item you catch whilst fishing or dumpster diving must be recycled
*If you shower at a community lot, the cost is 10 simoleons
Making Money, Aspirations and Side Quests

*Any trash or items that you discard throughout the renovation process, must go into your inventory and recycled for bits and pieces! If anything catches fire, put it in your inventory and recycle NOT sell.
