    Poor To Rich Challenge

    SubmarineSubmarine Posts: 3,424 Member
    in The Sims 4 Challenges, Stories and Legacies
    Okay, I'm sorry if this is already created (because that is very likely) but I have created (if not re-created) the Poor -> Rich challenge.


    You start off with a sim, any traits, any aspiration.
    But you can't use : Any 'Fortune' Aspirations, Materialistic or Perfectionist.

    You must have the trait 'Ambitious'. Creative is recommended, as it will help you raise more money with painting and book writing.

    You cannot have the Nano Trash Can and your job must be Culinary (Starting as an Assistant Dishwasher) until you have a house that consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 2 living rooms/sitting rooms, 1 Dining Room, A cupcake factory, 1 Study and an extra room (recommended to be used as a craft room / a room to help you make more money).

    RULES
    _____


    Under any circumstances you may not use money cheats!
    You cannot move anybody in unless they are your Boyfriend / Girlfriend.
    You can have kids.
    You mustn't use any cheats, actually. (Unless they're to de-bug / fix any problems.
    Feel free to have multiple sims, but this makes the challenge harder as only one sim may have the Culinary job and no other, The family can paint but if there's children you also have to get them to school.
    You cannot buy Professional Slacker, Connections, Frugal, Entrepreneurial, Marketable or Free Services from the rewards store.


    If your unsure or simply don't know about something, do say and ask any questions / suggest rules.

      What is the end goal? What defines "rich"? In other words, how do I complete the challenge?

      "Rich" is defined as the full house, 2 children, a lover ( or multiple if you want to spice up the challenge ). you complete the challenge once that is finished, or you think you have.

      This sounds somewhat similar to the Rosebud Challenge, where the goal is to earn the in-game Rosebud Achievement (amass 1,000,000 simoleons in a single household). There is a spin-off version, Rosebud Solitaire, where you only need to amass 500,000 but are restricted to just one Sim. Have you taken a peek at either of those, @yellowsubmarine?

      @SimPoseyYum Never heard of them, and didn't realize there was an achievement for it. I did say:

      "Okay, I'm sorry if this is already created (because that is very likely) but I have created (if not re-created) the Poor -> Rich challenge."

      Because I didn't know if it had already been created;or if something was created but similar.

      No harm No Foul ;) the Rosebud Challenge is the Sims 4 version of what was called the Rags-to-Riches Challenge long ago in Sims 3 (and Sims 2). You have proposed some interesting twists which intrigue me. I see no reason for you not to share your ideas as long as proper credit is given. I noticed your signature says "not doing any challenges, my sims crashes everytime". This makes me wonder if you have been able to test your version of the challenge.

      As @EuphorialQueen said, no harm, no foul. I wasn't trying to scold :blush: . (Hope you didn't take it that way.) I was just wondering if you'd seen either of those Challenges because yours reminded me of them.

      And hey! You changed your name! :)

      ETA: I just read about the ordeal you went through with name-changing. Sheesh! That was weird! Glad you've gotten it back the way you wanted :).

      @EuphorialQueen yes, I have been able to test it but I created 2 new sims which seem to have killed my game, therefore I can nolonger play it.


      @SimPoseyYum Righty'ho then.

      @SimPoseyYum thanks for the positive feedback, and at first yes I did take it in a scolding way - but now it's all cleared up. :) I'm just about to try the sims 4 again, after giving it a very long break. Wish me luck!

      Do you start with 0 simoleons or are you allowed to use the 20.000 starting funds?

      @Julyvee94 You start with the 20.000, you buy a house, then use what you have left to continue the challenge.

      I think I'm going to add another twist to it when I do it, kind of like what @Julyvee94 said, where I am going to buy a plot of land, but then use a money cheat to have only 100 simoleons, and have to live by visiting others houses and eating their food, being a glutton and looking for food in the garbage, and I'm not going to start with a career, pretending my sim couldn't find one --- no idea how this is going to work, but she can fish, woodwork, paint, etc. for money... I am using your rules, but my challenge is going to end when she can own/buy a house worth 100,000 simoleons... If you still check this, @DatSubmarineYourLookingFor, please tell me if this is alright, or I will stop doing it. Also, please tell me if you like my new twist on it... thanks so much for this idea, I wanted to find something similar, and I definitely did!!! Thanks for creating this!!!

      @RoggieBear - I only just saw this, so so so sorry for the late reply- but go ahead! This sounds like a great idea!
