    .:THE RULES:.
    • Start with YA Prince/Princess and Maid/Butler ~ you may hire a maid and a caterer plus any other services (as you see fit) in addition to the live-in Maid/Butler.
    • Money Cheats are allowed (and encouraged! This is royalty after all, they should have a gigantic castle!)
    • Turn Aging off
    • No Jobs Allowed!
    • The Contestants must be Young Adults.
    • Contestants must be eliminated immediately if they fight (physically) with another Contestant.
    • Contestants must be eliminated immediately if they are mean or rude towards the Prince/Princess.
    • Contestants must be eliminated if they turn down a date request from the Prince/Princess
    • Eliminated Contestants must be move out of the Main Household immediately
    • The Prince/Princess may only use 'Friendly' interactions in group settings.
    • Hold 'The Report' every Friday.

    **TIP**
    This is a player lead challenge so eliminate contestants along the way for whatever reasons you choose. If you want a more solid way of eliminating contestants send the contestant with the lowest relationship with the prince/princess packing every few days or hold a painting, running, pruning etc. competition and eliminate the slowest contestant.

    .:PHASE ONE: The First Few Days:.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    DAY 1 "It is official! Names have been drawn, the Contestants have come forward and the Selection has begun!"

    Lite Version
    • Have your Prince/Princess spend one on one time with each Contestant in the morning.
    • Your Prince/Princess may use 3 friendly interactions before moving on to the next Contestant.
    • Have the Contestants spend the rest of the day getting to know each other.
    • You may do whatever you wish with your Prince/Princess.
    • The Prince/Princess and the Contestants are to have no more interaction until Dinner.

    Die-Hard
    • Give your prince the day off he's got a LONG week ahead of himself.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    DAY 2 - THE 1ST REPORT "What are the Contestants after? Did they join the Selection Challenge for the Prince/Princess, or the crown?"

    Lite Version
    • Encourage the Prince/Princess to have breakfast and dinner with the Contestants.
    • They may spend up-to 2 hours together as a group after everyone has eaten.
    • The Prince/Princess may spend one on one time with 2-3 the contestants throughout the week.
    • The Prince/Princess may only use Friendly Interactions during this time.

    Die-Hard

    .:Meeting the Girls:.
    • Move the Prince/Princess into the 1st household of Contestant at 10am in the Morning via Household Management
    • Have your Prince/Princess introduce themselves to every Contestant in the household and spend time getting to know them.
    • If a Contestant is in another location use the 'Bring *name* back' via the household menu interaction.
    • At 1pm move the Prince/Princess into the 2nd household of Contestants via Household Management.
    • And Repeat as above.
    • Move the Prince/Princess back to the Main Household at 4pm via Household Management.
    • Give the Prince/Princess some time off and let them relax!
    • Repeat this process every day until the Prince/Princess has met ALL of the Selected Girls.

    • Once the Prince/Princess has met all of the Selected Girls them may have up to 5 one on one time/informal dates with any of the Contestants at the castle.
    • They may NOT perform any Romantic Interactions.

    **TIP**
    The 1st Report can be held on your 2nd game play day of Friday if your Prince/Princess hasn't had a chance to meet all the Contestants yet or spent one on one time with at least one Contestant.
    **TIP**
    If a Contestant ignores the Prince/Princess or wanders off to do something else while the Prince/Princess is at their household perhaps the Contestant is a good one to eliminate?

    The Selection Challenge (Die-Hard)Enters the 'Elite' phase of this challenge once 6 girls remain.

    **NOTE**
    It is up to you how you chose your winner and eliminate girls until the Elite remain.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A PRINCESS IN THE MAKING

    "The elite phase is not just about falling in the love. The princess must be able to host important dinners, successful celebrations and prove that they have the capacity for the role."

    DAY TO DAY
    • Contestants must working on their Musical Instrument, Charisma or Logic skills between the hours of 9 am and 11:30am every day NO EXCEPTIONS - unless for a date :wink:
    • The Contestants have free time for the rest of the day
    • The Prince/Princess may take the Constestants on dates after 12 noon.
    • The Contestants must be dated on a rotational basis. (Throw a mini challenge to figure out the order if you really want)
    • Anything goes on these dates. They may be outside of the Castle Grounds.
    • Hold the Report/A Ball every in-game Friday, or every Wednesday/Saturday if you wish to speed things up!
    • You do NOT have to Eliminate a Contestant at the conclusion of the Report

    **NOTE**
    If you wish to make this more structured take the Contestants on prestige/directed dates and keep score of who has the highest scoring dates and who has the lowest and use this to help make decisions on who to eliminate.

    **NOTE**
    If you wish to make this more structured keep track of the Contestants progress on the following challenges, eliminate the Contestants with the lowest scored events and pick your winner based on the most successful events and highest scoring dates!


    Suggested Events

    .:We All Have Bad Day's Sometimes:.
    • Attempt to put the Prince/Princess in a negative mood (Sad, Tense etc.)
    • Send the Prince/Princess on a date with Contestants while in a bad mood to see how they handle a bad day together.
    • The Contestant they you think handled the Prince/Princess bad mood the best/helped to resolve the badmood the fastest wins an extra date outside of Rotation.

    .:Foreign Delegates:.
    Depending on the number of Contestants left have them team up in groups of 2-3 or hold this event individually.
    • Have the Contestants decorate with a certain theme in mind (such as colours e.g. red or blue, Under the Sea, Black and White party, Casino Night etc.).
    • Have the Contestants throw a Social Gathering: Dinner Party or House Party at the Castle. (If you wish to have multiple Contestants host the same party select additional Contestants through the host section in the invitation window.)
    • Invite whoever you want to this celebration. Eliminated Contestants are allowed.
    • The Elite Contestants who are not hosting the party must participate in the gathering.
    • The Contestants with the highest awarded medal from the party are awarded extra dates with the Prince outside of rotation.

    .:Sound Mind:.
    • Have the Contestants compete against each other in chess or a card game etc.
    • Have the winner of the first round compete against the winner from a separate round of chess or cards etc. until a solitary winner emerges.
    • The winning Contestants is awarded an extra date with the Prince/Princess outside of the rotation.

    .:People's Choice/High Tea:.
    • Have the Contestants throw a Social Gathering: Dinner Party or House Party. (If you wish to have multiple Contestants host the same party select additional Contestants through the host section in the invitation window.)
    • Invite Eliminated Contestants from the Selection.
    • The Prince/Princess may not join in on the party.
    • The Contestant with the highest relationship bars with the invited guests wins an Extra date with the Prince/Princess outside of rotation

    Continue day to day game play eliminating Contestants from the Elite until 2 remain.

    NOTE: If playing the lite version have the Contestants compete against each other in at least ONE event.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    .:PHASE 4: The One:.
    "Only one can win his heart."

    Now that the Prince/Princess has chosen their final two it is time for the Prince/Princess to chose their future wife/husband!
    • Have the Prince/Princess throw a Social Gathering: House Party or Dinner Party and invite eliminated Contestants.
    • Propose to the Contestant of our choosing in the middle of the party.
    • Have them get married immediately or celebrate their marriage with a gigantic party at a later date!

    **NOTE**
    Like I said the Sims 4 is weird! If some of the eliminated Constestants don't show up in the invitation window we'll just assume that they turned down the invitation to the final party and were otherwise engaged. It happens right?

    @Kamio This is so cool! I love the Selection books! Every time a new book in the series comes out, I read them all through again from the beginning jut in time for the new release.

    I just started a neighborhood rotation, and am almost done with the first legacy I'll ever finish. I think this will have to be the next one I try.

    I'll be interested to see how you keep track of the girls' accomplishments once you get to phase 3.

    Also, do their traits and/or aspirations matter at all? I haven't looked at your first post yet, but I'm very interested to see which traits and aspiration you picked for the prince.
  • KamioKamio Posts: 2,213 Member
    I did a dry-run of this challenge and in the end I took Aspirations and Traits into consideration. Everyone plays different so I left it up to interpretation. In the end I'm going to use a range of things to make the decision. How the girls parties go, who made the most friends, who did the prince roll the most wants for and who do I think is ultimately the right one.

    I the dry run I was very strict. The girl who performed the best one (highest medal at the party and highest relationship with the prince and other girls.)

    The fifth book in the series 'The Crown' is coming in the mail for me even now. I adore this series and could not believe I had not found this challenge until now. I'll be bookmarking this and trying it. Where can I find a mod that allowed more than 8 in a household? I don't know where to look.

    Hey there :blush: I discovered your 'Making of a Princess' a few days ago and read through it all in one sitting - it was amazing!! :love: I loved your storytelling style and also your journalistic reporting; I thought it was very original and a really fresh way to present a story.

    Reading through it and your rules here made me realize it might be a perfect jumping off point for a story I had in mind. Would you mind terribly if I tweaked the rules a bit to do a Selection Challenge in the Sims 3? I don't have the time to do it right now, I'm afraid, but I'd love to explore the possibility in the future :smile:
    Getting back into TS3! :smile:
