I am definitely late to starting this challenge but, I loved playing it! My Sims live in a tent, cook over the campfire and have a toilet/shower combo outhouse. The main sim started with a bush Eventually she dated, got married and had a child. All while gardening and working on the cow plant to complete her aspiration I don't film game play but, I have a folder full of game screenshots as I played it out! Took me 8 days from starting out to growing the cow plant Super fun challenge! So, is the challenge over when the founder sim dies or is it over when they complete the aspiration?
currently trying this out, But im starting with zero funds and zero house to make it more interesting, so far ive got a small garden growing from collecting around parks and neighbourhood. So far ive managed to make quite abit of money, especially since i dug up a voodoo doll and that gave me £1000. I will eventually be building a house but i wanted to make it more challenging and literally starting from scratch. To get my needs up before i can purchase everything i go to community lots. So far i have a tent to sleep in, shower, woohoo bush for toilet and eating some of the plants i collect to get my hunger up so far really enjoying it
Having fun with this challenge. Only a small garden so far, thinking I need to go hunting for some new plant varieties but for now my Sims are having fun around town!
Just wanted to say that I have started playing this. And I am enjoying it a lot! It's my first try to do a challenge/legacy type of play. I like the idea on just getting by with whatever you can make/grow/find.
I have tried some of the challenges and in the end, I fail and use the cheats when I'm like 2 weeks of playing real 2 weeks of playtime into the challenge I fail by using money cheats and stuff. This one is right up my alley so to speak. When I was a kid and teen I grew up on a farm in England. I now living I Indiana, USA. I miss those days of working on a farm with my family farm. I am going to do this challenge today and keep at it without any cheats. thanks for the idea hon.
I know I'm a little late but I think I'm going to try this one. See if I can manage to get ALL the plants and support a family. Sounds like fun and a good challenge.
Love the idea of this challenge. I am about to start it. Thinking of making it an "off the grid" kind of thing with no electric items used an no indoor plumbing.
I like this challenge! Love the humble beginnings challenges and stuff with gardening. I just came from the rosebud challenge and looking for something to do. I think I'm going to try and do this as more of a family farm than just making money as I did for my rosebud family. (I grew 100 rose plants and made 40,000 + per harvest, so I kind of want something not so insanely profitable.) Will be giving this a try!
About to start this challenge! Been thinking about it for a while...I love the nature aspirations especially gardening so this should be a lot of fun!!
Make it harder. Teen founder, school is by choice. Must have a significant other by young adult good but cannot have a child before significant other moves in and is married. Just a suggestion.
Totally late to the challenge but I am going to give this one a try! Thank you for the invent! Off to make my founder and find a good lot. I am thinking Strangerville! <3
I was able to complete this pretty quickly since we are on "stay at home" orders. Fun and quick challenge!
I took advantage of Tiny Living and built a 32 tile home.
I chose Living off the Land, Great Soil, and Homey. She never received the first Bill.
My sim had the Nature aspiration "Freelance Botanist"
She achieved Level 10 Gardening and Handiness.
Vegetarian, Loves Outdoors, and Genius traits.
I did pick Super Green Thumb when I had enough rewards.
Wish I would have thought to buy the Bee Box earlier.
I did not have kids or get married. But I have my sim ready to do that. She is in lurve. I prefer to stop here than go through the kids phases.
We have 19,615 simoleons and a home/land worth 21,586
Starting Home. Had a little over 3k left. First day of Spring and it is raining.
Cutaway view. The stove was useless even though it could be used "Off the Grid." We didn't have a fridge because I was afraid she would eat something Non Vege. We got rid of the cooler on day 2. Replaced by Strawberries found nearby.
Last day of Fall. Aspiration completed.
Backyard. She built the table and chairs for a Thanksgiving meal with friends.
We bought a grill for this occasion. Grilled Tofu Dogs for Thanksgiving! MMMMmmm!
I'm so doing this. This will be my first challenge ever I know I'm late and I've been even Simming since 2006 I'm excited think I'll do a page in one of our forums n facebook lol
