    Thank you so much for pointing that out! I never play vampires in my game so it didn't cross my mind lol, I will edit the original post and add a section about the occult as well as replacing new guests.
    You can read about it under: Edit #2 and Edit # 3

    I love your idea about the widow and daughter by the way :D
    And thanks for spreading the word!

    This challenge looks like fun. I'm already thinking of a second generation of the owner. Maybe a daughter who inherits.

    I have a question about bringing new customers into the hotel to replace deceased ones or ones we kick out (we can do that right?). Shouldn't we use family funds to remove any funds new people bring in with them?

    Ooo, I think I'll go with "Ma Jones' Boarding House". The widowed Mrs Jones has no skills with which to support herself and her young daughter when her husband dies leaving her with this big house. I do like the idea of a room over the garage for a criminal or someone in music. They will put a special demand on the meal schedule since they have such late hours.

    Another question. Will vampires be allowed? If so a crypt room would go nicely in the basement. They have special eating requirements that don't fit with these rules.

    I'm going to tell my sister about this challenge. This would be a good setting for a murder mystery or a romance or some other suspense.

    If there's maids aloud wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of the challenge ? since the challenge is the owner basically cleaning up after everybody in the hotel

    Will bookmark this challenge. I will have to do this challenge in the future, though, as I have just started a new challenge. This sounds like loads of fun though!

    Sounds challenging! It would make an interesting story. I will definitely be trying this in the future!

    I've been working on this challenge, and so far it's been really fun. I used one of the pre-made hotels. This one: screenshot_original.jpg

    My hotel owner, screenshot_original.jpg

    My married couple, busy at work on her computer (wife).

    My evil and insane sim. Yes, she WAS just swimming in her clothes! lol
    screenshot_original.jpg

    My party animal sim getting a job at the theatre. (Notice the dirty look she is giving that random girl!)
    screenshot_original.jpg

    My snobby sim:

    My grumpy old guy sim. He likes to swim a lot. He's almost always in the pool. :?:

    And, last but not least, the flirty sim, who appears to be eating the salad AND the salad bowl.

    The exterior of the hotel I built for the challenge. I'm not finished with landscaping yet (I hate landscaping). The room farthest right on the ground level is the common area where three square meals are served daily (if you count Hot Dogs as square). The room farthest left on the ground level is the gym. Levels one and two each have three bedrooms, and each level has it's own little entertainment area. I'll try get better photos later.

    I started building a hotel but now that I see how all of you have built your hotels mine doesn't have a modern hotel feel to it... It's more like an old-ish hotel. Even though the hotel does have an elevator.

    My story is going to be about two sisters who always wanted to run a hotel. Or just 1 sister.

    The hotel doesn't have to be modern, someone on here even mentioned they were going to build a 40's style hotel which I thought was really cool!
    :D

    It's your hotel so you get to pick the theme :wink:

    sounds like a lot of fun. I might have to try this one and do a story with it. So you just put it on high free will and the guests will look after themselves except for eating/cleaning? (I've never played with free will on so not sure how it works out lol)

    I still cant get the cheat to work for me to reset the family funds. do I enter the household name or the last names of the sims because they were all given different last names, so will i have to enter it 8 different times? also does it have to be in edit town mode, or live mode?

    Your household name should be the owner's last name if you created them first. However just to double check, go to map view and hover your mouse over your house, the household name should pop up.


    After typing this in the cheatbox: testingcheatsenabled true

    Then open the cheatbox again and use your household's name.

    For example, if your owner's name is Anna Smith and the household under map view is "Smith"

    Then type in: familyfunds Smith 1000


    You can pause the game and do this in live mode.

    :D Hope that helps!
