Limelight a TS4GetFamous Gameplay Challenge by EQCreations
#EAGameChanger
*Currently no #TS4GetFamous spoilers.
Created to be played using #TS4GetFamous but can be adapted to play without it.
Limelight
Defined as a type of theater lighting or a person being highlighted by such a light.
Being in the limelight means being in the center of public attention.
Synonyms: Noun catbird seat, center stage, spotlight, top billing
= = = = =
The limelight challenge follows two different paths.
Becoming the center of attention or staying in the sidelines.
*
In the limelight: Become popular and well known.
>>Complete one or more popularity aspirations.
>>Complete one or more wealth aspirations.
>>Reach the top of any career.
>>Max charisma and at least three other skills.
*
On the sidelines: Become a supporter while avoiding becoming too famous/well known.
>>Complete two or more aspirations under any chosen category.
>>Max at least three skills of your choice.
Founder/First generation:
Create a young adult single Sim with no skills.
For an additional challenge start with either a teen or adult/elder.
Gender and appearance are your choice.
Species such as alien, vampire or hybrid are your choice.
Custom content (CC) allowed if you prefer.
Aspirations and traits are your choice. I tend to choose aspirations based on the bonus trait.
Choosing a knowledge aspiration adds the quick learner bonus trait. Popularity aspirations add a gregarious bonus trait. Nature aspirations add the Collector bonus trait making them more likely to find rare collectibles. Food aspirations add the Essence of Flavor bonus trait which increases the quality level of the food and drink they create. You can always switch aspirations when you play.
How to play:
Can be played as a single or multiple generation challenge.
Aging on Normal lifespan (with Youth potion allowed).
Aging can be off un-played households if you wish.
No money cheats unless used to
remove funds.
Humble beginnings for your founder regardless of which path you choose.
Starting a new save place your Sim in your choice of worlds.
If you want to be really humble (or evil) start on an empty lot with no more than a trash can and mail box.
Otherwise a starter home with minimal necessities is good as long as it is affordable with no money or freerealestate cheats. A City Living apartment is also allowed.
Comments
How you choose to supplement your income is up to you.
*In the limelight: Primary goal is to become popular and well known.
This is a career Sim and their primary income should come from a career.
*On the sidelines: This Sim provides support to the household and is preferably a stay-at-home or work-from-home or self employed Sim.
For example money is earned from hobby type activities like painting, crafting or photography.
Adding household members:
Limelight Sims should be established (at least level 3) in their chosen career before adding to the household. At that point they will become too busy for mundane tasks like cooking and cleaning.
They can either marry or ask another Sim to join the household. Money brought in can either be kept or deducted from household funds.They can have or adopt children but another Sim will be the primary caregiver of the child.
This caregiver can be another household member or a Nanny or Butler.
Sideline Sims can either marry or ask another Sim to join the household at any time. They can also become a single parent either by pregnancy or adoption. They will be the primary caregiver of any children. Their main goal is to provide companionship and moral support for the household.
The role of Sideline Sim can be assigned to a Sim added to a Limelight household or as a founder.
As a founder they become the first generation and encourage their child/children to succeed as a limelight Sim.
See above rules.

The rules are fairly simple and can be adapted to your gameplay style.
Keeping track of points is not my forte. If you like a point system and want to create one please feel free to do so.
Everyone is invited to share their adaptations and story/progress links and information here.

Note: Without the Get Famous options the challenge completion goals can be satisfied by becoming top level in careers and completing aspirations. Both of these earn bonus traits that would equate to being successful and popular Sims.
Lately, I've been playing with aging off and using birthday cakes to age up, so this will be a real challenge for me.
I have Seasons, does it matter what the season lengh is set to? What about holidays? Can we add our own type of holidays/events to our calendar? Are Pets allowed?
I am sure I'll have many more questions
One more: Can we use any lot traits?

All great questions
*Normal lifespan is suggested. I am playing with normal lifespan. So far have not used youth potion but very tempted.
*Seasons and calendar settings are user preference.
*Custom holidays would be fun.
*Pets are allowed.
*Lot traits are player preference.

@EuphorialQueen Are we limited to the number of sims we can ask to move in at a time, once we reach level 3 of our chosen career/job?
So can my sim ask a couple gal pals to move in right away after reaching the career goal?

Hmmm can two Limelight seekers tolerate living together? Should one step down and support the other? Will they cooperate or compete to dominate the household and become Super Stars?
That could be a different twist!

Don't you love the over the top reactions? Brylee is adorable! Ooo public number ... hope her phone does not blow up too much
Self-assured, Creative, Good
Bonus trait: Quick Learner
I have not yet chosen which path he'll choose. Limelight or sidelines. I'm leaning towards self employed painter or writer because of his traits.
