I've just started making and playing my decades challenge on youtube and the rules are too long for the description box. I figured here would be the perfect place to put them so I can link to them. It's still a work in progress (particularly the last 3 decades), but here goes.
You start in the 1890's (I downloaded a bunch of appropriate clothing just to add to the feel) and I wanted to show the changing world in real time, which means the challenge starts out with some limits to marriage in regards to race and gender. You can totally choose to ignore those and any other rules, these are just the things I am playing with. Each new decade starts with the children growing into young adults (or teens if you prefer)
1890’s May only marry within their ethnicity May only marry and have a relationship with opposite gender Outside toilets No electricity (Lighting is a problem here, use candles or lanterns) Must always ‘try for a baby’ no just woohooing Girls born may only have the creativity bonus Women take care of the children and tidy the house, may help garden Female children may only move out once married. Male heirs only, if there are no boys, a married girl's husband may inherit Wooden furniture only (No upholstered beds only quilts and blankets) Old fashioned stove and fridge (I downloaded a pantry item to help with the aesthetics) No showers only bathtubs No jobs, money made through gardening, painting or woodworking Wooden walls and floors House must only be decorated with impressionist or classic paintings (Must have a cow plant ready for the 1910’s so start now)
1900’s Indoor plumbing (Still no showers) Electric lighting allowed Upholstery allowed Wallpaper allowed Phonograph music player allowed Jobs allowed (males only) Business career to level 6 Culinary to level 5 Entertainer – musician branch full career open
1910’s war years Male children ‘go off to war’ at adulthood (feed to cowplant, randomise through dice rolling - odds die, evens survive) Male children must take one of the following characteristics at adulthood (Assuming they have been to war and have suffered trauma) Gloomy Hot headed Clumsy Insane Lazy Squeamish Mean Noncommital Men of the family cannot work until they transition from young adulthood to adulthood (You may wish to move them to a separate household until this happens, then invite them over once a week to simulate wartime leave) Carpets allowed Painted walls allowed Men that marry the female children must also ‘go to war’ (Allowed one chance to have a baby first) Jobs (Male only) Business – Management branch Culinary – Chef branch Entertainer – Musician branch Painter – both branches
1920’s Womens rights Women can be chosen to inherit Women can work as a painter or musician until Children arrive Careers opened Criminal (bootleggers) – Boss branch Culinary (bootleggers) – Mixologist branch
1930’s Great depression Anyone in a career loses their job and must make money by scavenging through the neighbourhood for 2 weeks of game time Careers lost (business) Bills may only be paid after the electricity has been cut off (Water too if you want a harder version) All sims reaching adulthood in this era must take one of the following traits: Gloomy Noncommital Mean
1940’s WWII Male children ‘go off to war’ at adulthood (feed to cowplant, randomise through dice rolling - odds die, evens survive) Male children must take one of the following characteristics at adulthood(Assuming they have been to war) Gloomy Hot headed Clumsy Insane Lazy Squeamish Mean Noncommital Men of the family cannot work until they transition from young adulthood to adulthood (You may wish to move them to a separate household until this happens, then invite them over once a week to simulate wartime leave) Women must now work in one of the following careers: Athlete – Body builder career (Working as a health advisor to the government) Painter – Master of the real (Working as a propaganda minister) Culinary – Mixologist (Working as a pub landlady) Chef (Minister for food/agriculture) Entertainer – Either (Entertaining the troops) Every house must now own a radio and someone must listen for one hour a day Every house must have a garden (Dig for victory) One hot cooked meal per person per day, all other hunger must be dealt with produce from the garden
1950’s Korean war First male child gets conscripted, first female child becomes a volunteer nurse, both get fed to the cowplant at adulthood after choosing one of the war characteristics from the 1st and second world war Cheapest TV Available – only shows programmes from 6-10am and 6-12pm Cheapest pc available – Only used for writing Athlete – professional Branch available Writing career available House can be decorated with popart Showers allowed
1960’s sexual revolution and civil rights era Birth control! You no longer need to try for a baby with each woohoo Astronaut career available Secret agent career available Marriage available regardless of ethnicity Homosexual relationships allowed Better TV’s allowed (No Wall mounted flat screens) (time restrictions still apply) You may take time off for the birth of your baby
1970’s End of the vietnam war First two children (Of either gender) are sent to war (cowplant) as conscripts or volunteer nurses and must take a survivor trait First microprocessor allows 2nd tier computer to be used for gaming and writing only Environmentalist movement – Every child born must have one of the following: Active Self assured Loves outdoors Outgoing

2000’s – Climate change All careers open Dad’s may take leave for the birth of their baby Flatscreens allowed
Wow, this looks like such an interesting idea! I'll be trying this one out for sure.
Edit: I actually have a question. I might just be missing it, but I don't see anything about pools. Are they unlocked from the beginning, or should they be unlocked in a certain decade?

Hmm, well private pools weren't really common until the fifties, so I guess that sounds about right :)
I just started this yesterday, the complants are fully grown and the 1900 generation is born. A boy and two girls and I hope this continues with the majority of girls because I am scared that I will lose all of my men to the war

Hi ZombieCleo, I´ve been watching your let´s plays of this on Youtube and I really liked them. I started this challenge, and I managed to get to the 1910, but then my save file got corrupted so I lost my game. I hope I can start it soon again because I realy enjoyed it. Thank you for making such an awsome challenge. :wink:
@ZombieCleo : I really like the idea of this but I'm having massive troubles finding 1800's clothing. I'm assuming that's Victorian. If you happen to see this, any chance you could give me a hand with some matching CC for time periods? Thanks. :)
This sounds awesome, I'm going to give it a go now
EDIT:
I made my sim and her house; Victoria Yarbrough. I guess I'll have to get her to go and find a husband. Can she go to other lots other than her own or does she have to stay on her own lot?
I really want to try this out when I get home and Maybe record it if I have the time! Does anyone have really good sites for some custom content for clothes?
Started the challenge, I have 2 boys so that's good! I'm just doing a run through of it first, but so far its awesome. But who becomes the heir?
