GAME SET UP FOR THOSE CONTINUING THE FULL 24 HOUSE CHALLENGE

-You are free to evict and/or delete any Sims except The Heir from House 016
All other worlds and vacation destinations may be built upon or populated however you'd like

GAME SET UP FOR THOSE PLAYING JUST HOUSE 017
-Evict any Sims who are living on the Sandtrap Flat Lot in Oasis Springs world
-Demolish the Sandtrap Flat Lot
-Set the Sandtrap Flat Lot to Residential
All other worlds and vacation destinations may be built upon or populated however you'd like
*Adding in unique Lot types from other packs is encouraged
MAKING THE DRIFTER
Create one Sim who is a:
-Young Adult
-Humanoid or other Occult from the following list:
*Alien (Get To Work needed)
*Mermaid (Island Living needed)
*Spellcaster (Realm Of Magic needed)
*Using Story Mode for creating The Drifter is not allowed
*If you download a Sim, you will need to make sure that they do not have any Skills or extra Traits gained as this could give unwanted advantages
REQUIRED GAME SETTINGS
Under Gameplay tab in the Game Options menu select the following:
-Autonomy - Full
-Auto Age (Played Sims) - Yes
-Sim Lifespan - Normal
WHERE TO START AND LAST MINUTE PREPARATIONS
-In Game Options set Season length as as well as rain/snow options (Seasons needed)
-In Game Options you may choose to opt out of Fame (Get Famous needed)
-Move The Drifter onto the Sandtrap Flat Residential Lot in Oasis Springs
-You may select 1-3 Lot Traits in Build Mode (these can be changed at any time)
-Using the Calendar create/add any Holidays or Events you'd like (Seasons needed)
-Sell or Delete any objects that The Drifter has brought along in their inventory
*If you choose to keep any items, you must deduct the cost of the object(s) from the Active Household Funds before ANY other object(s) are allowed to be purchased
-For those players continuing on from House 016, your hard work is paying off! You may purchase one of each of the following objects (that your previous heir) actually crafted:
Bar Stool, End Table, Dining Chair, Guitar, Violin, Bathtub, Toilet
-Drop the Active Household Funds to $0 Simoleons (testingcheats on + Money 0)
-Save your game
-Make a backup save (start of House 017)
*I highly recommend that you make these separate game save files so that if you are unsatisfied with how things turn out or you experience a House Challenge fail, you will have the option to redo House 017 without losing all prior world progress
THE PLAYABLE SIM THIS HOUSE CHALLENGE IS:
-The Drifter (the previous heir coming from House 016 if you are continuing)
*The Sim you created if you are just doing House 017
*All other Household Sims are considered non-playable who may only be controlled using options available through their portrait in the bottom left hand corner
REQUIRED GOALS OF HOUSE 017
1. As a minimum create a 2 Bedroom home worth at least $60k Simoleons
2. Produce and raise The Heir to the Young Adult life stage
*When The Heir reaches the Young Adult stage, you must stop game play and save if you are continuing on to House 018
UNIQUE TWIST ON GAME PLAY
-Random roll 1-10 determines The Drifter's supposed starting level in the Handiness Skill
Do not change their actual skill through cheats
*Those completing the full 24 House Challenge will need to check the level of the Handiness Skill that The Drifter (the previous heir from House -16) reached
As an added level of challenge difficulty, if The Drifter has a level of 10 in the Handiness Skill you can tempt the fates with a random 1-9 roll to determine The Drifter's new supposed starting level (do not change their actual skill through cheats)
If The Drifter's Handiness is a level:

In the past we have Bedroom & Bathroom qualifications 4 house building....since some Drifters may not have access 2 some plumbing objects, the bathroom is NOT a house requirement. Just NEED a 2 bedroom house
U may buy other "bathroom" items....decor, sinks etc. But say your Sim is NOT lvl 9 or 10 in mechanical skill then the showers, tubs & toilets will b off limits & not available 4 purchase the length of this mini-challenge
If u were able 2 get lvl 9 & made a tub....when u start THIS house mini-challenge u will b able 2 pop into the buydebug mode & grab that tub free of charge. Then during game play...u have access 2 all showers & tubs 4 purchase @ any time that u have the fund 2 do so
Hope this helped....let me know if u need more clarification -k-
OMG! I can't believe I did that....yes...Mechanical is Handiness
No worries. I thought that's what you meant. I'm playing 016 still. Almost ready to come over. 8 days to go. Or is it 7 now? I've lost count. lol
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/896235/the-drifter-challenge-house-018-rules/p1?new=1
It was a challenge because of that. My poor sims were stinky quite a lot but actually I found the fact that they were almost constantly sad more challenging. This is because every Tom, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 n Harry with whom they had barely a passing acquaintance died so of course my game decided that they just had to know about it and they had a sad moodlet for two days. That's on top of family members who died! Soooo frustrating. I don't mind when it's family but when they've met a sim ONCE ... please!! Ugh! Sorry for my rant
The Driftwoods Continued!
I hope it helps you! Happy drifting!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the challenge - it's a lot of fun.
It's a shame about the mods D: but in that case maybe the Emotional control positive trait could help you too? :smiley: I recently learned that it makes your sims' mourning periods go away in like half the time :D
