PSA:
When starting a new save time is precious. Having a brand new Sim straight from CAS already aging can be frustrating.
There was a bug that caused existing Sims to age when being restyled in CAS. That was Fixed in Patch 1.47.51 but then a new one appeared. Brand new Sims are coming out already aged at least two Sim days. That means less time to perfect all those skills and complete aspirations.
This is a friendly notice to check the age of newly created Sims or ones that are restyled in CAS.
There is a room I uploaded for something else that is simple 5 youth potions.
Use them as you see fit.

Did you know you can still have weather without it killing your Sims?
Go to options and the Seasons tab. Find "Enable Temperature Effects on Sims"
Untick (remove the check mark) this option to keep Sims from overheating or freezing to death.
Coming soon:
Lot traits: Off-grid, clothing optional and volcanic activity.
*Off-the-Grid = No Power/Water utilities, as well as limited Internets, but also no Bills.
*Clothing optional ~ is well um if I have to explain ~
*Volcanic activity rains down lava bombs which (of course) are super hot and touching can be fatal.
>>Volcanic activity lot trait is specific to #TS4IslandLiving
I started this challenge, now on Day 27, I have seasons set at 7 days. I also have enable temperature effects off.
The only realistic aspiration with seasons is from what I can see is the fortune wealth one, although its quite slow. Currently have $27.368 in funds, aspiration shows $21.832, using last figure for challenge as did not set funds to zero after moving to Oakenstead lot.
I tyred to do it with out paying bills, the power cut of was fine but when the water was cut off my Sim could no no longer use her outdoor retreat portable shower, she liked her showers and with the lightning strikes and fires from the campfire she really needed her shower, with no where else to wash.
Advice needed, which aspirations can be completed, beyond the fortune one? Music one requires stereo, gardening takes leaving lot as does fishing what am I missing? have all packs to date.
Is it possible to change out the campfire for a BBQ and picnic bench?
@Plainevil Hello and welcome to the challenge. In consideration of new content and lot traits etc now available both via purchase (packs) and free patches I am once again looking at adjusting challenges.
With a bit of work the Freelance Botanist aspiration can be completed without leaving the area of your lot. A small garden with a few select plants can do the trick.
Living simply without adding a lot of things will keep bills under control. No paying the bills makes hygiene a bit trick for sure. You are permitted to use your satisfaction points to buy the potions for that.
On Tuesday the patch will add a helpful lot trait.
*Off-the-Grid = No Power/Water utilities, as well as limited Internets, but also no Bills.
As an EAGamechanger I can verify this will be added to base game. There are also new objects that will work with this trait. I hope to have more information next week that may prove helpful.
Thank you for everyone who has played this challenge.
I plan on doing a quick run thru of stage one of this challenge after the patch on Tuesday. I will focus on anything that can be updated/changed.
Suggestions are welcome.
@Plainevil
The original allows certain options to be unlocked in the second stage.
I am thinking of a revision to be allowed in stage one. *Fitness Achieve Level 4 unlocks travel to the Gym to meet aspiration goal. *Creative/Painting Level 4 unlocks travel to Museum to meet aspiration goal. *Instrument skill 3 unlocks option to buy a small stereo.
___ That would allow completion of the Musical Genius stage to listen to music.
___ The fitness pack gift of earbuds will allow you to listen to music.
~ ~ ~ These options will remain in stage two.
*Logic Level 4 unlock plus Handiness Level 4 unlock travel to library, computer use and Rocket Science
*Charisma Level 3 unlock able to accept social text invites, go on dates /Romance Aspirations / Marriage / Family Aspirations
Ear buds are tied to the lots power, found out in second week when Sims fun was in red, had never used them but when I tried got told to pay my bills. The newest options sound good to me Sim has not maxed a skill yet but that should be easy its the aspersions seem difficult.
She has several skills in the 4/5 level range, Just assessing the gym or / art museum or licensing to music should, allow me to complete a first or second aspiration.
May be late but trying to keep as close as possible.
Fell free to ignore but does the, Of the Grid trait, mean my Sim would be able to use her shower etc that is not mains supplied. Sorry really want to know, but know you may not be able to answer.

The embargo on the Gamechanger information we have so far was lifted earlier this week.
I can verify there will be special build/buy objects that will work without power or paying bills.
To be honest that is all we have been told so far. They keep us guessing as well on some things
Be sure to watch for patch notes for more information.

She certainly is!
Needing to be home at the proper time is interesting. My sims are usually home at that time, but now I'll have to make sure they actually are.
