*Spellcaster (Realm Of Magic needed)
-Relationship status is Roommates
*Using Story Mode for creating the Secondary Sim 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

All other worlds and vacation destinations may be built upon or populated however you'd like

REQUIRED GAME SETTINGS
Under Gameplay tab in the Game Options menu select the following:

-Drop the Active Household Funds to $0 Simoleons (testingcheats on + Money 0)
-Save your game
-Make a backup save (start of House 015)
*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 015 without losing all prior world progress

THE PLAYABLE SIMS THIS HOUSE CHALLENGE ARE:
-The Drifter (the previous heir coming from House 014 if you are continuing)

2. Complete the Chief Of Mischief Aspiration

*Display what you have Swiped in the designated museum room or display case

4. 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 016

ALL ABOUT THE HEIR
-The Heir is the firstborn baby made between The Drifter and another Sim who is part of the Active Household at the time the WooHoo For Baby interaction is used
*Vampire babies cannot be considered as The Heir

    @Vihisha I am excited to try this one. I have not played with the klepto trait much other than random traits to children. They bring random things home from school. But I have never actively tried to use this trait so it should be an interesting change for me. I have just started house 004 (again) so it will take me a bit of time to get caught back up but I am looking forward to this one. :)

    I'm about to start house challenge 15. It is day 5 of summer and this will be the first time I play with seasons from the start of a challenge. Let's hope the sun won't be too hot for my sims!

    @illusie Good luck. Be careful of heatwaves

    @Karise , my sim made it through summer! It's autumn and I was able to build a small bedroom, so my sim should be fine.

    @illusie oh good - you have to watch out for thunderstorms in autumn. Lightning!

    I've not played much with them yet, so progress is very slow.

    @Piazzagirl1015, I didn't change the settings so I guess default 7 days. And you?

    @Karise, I bet each season is dangerous for sims who are lawn living. I've had some close encounters with lightning in the previous house! Silly sims kept going outside even though there was a thunderstorm. Let's hope my sims in this house are smarter. Though if they are hungry or want to go to the bathroom they still need to do that outside. Still saving up money for more walls.

    @illusie I have them set up for 28 days for now but I'm not sure if longer or shorter seasons are better or if it makes no difference. I do hope that you do not mind that I asked but since you had a positive result with this house I was just wondering. I still confused on how to handle seasons while starting a house.

    @Piazzagirl1015, I don't mind you ask about it at all. It's still new to me too.

    @illuse yep me too. I had one house where they started in the middle of winter so I was really concerned about them freezing to death. I tried to earn as much money as I could to at least get a tiny box for shelter. But, as you say .. each season has its own challenges. :smiley:

    I've decided to start over. I've only 1 sim week in or something like that

    Oops, I forgot the rain would cause the radio and computer to break down...lol

    @illusie Good luck in starting over. Yeah the rain will break things and lightning will zap them. :smiley:
