Just started this challenge today :) I wanted to make my own story but it seems I cant create a new post on the forum yet! My sim is Ellis James. Shes an avid gardener who doesn't have anything except the clothes on her back to call her own. 7 days since she moved into her new town and shes managed to get a job, get one promotion and build herself a small home. 4 walls, a bed, toilet and fridge but its hers and thats all that matters. Wealth: €4629
Welcome to the forums and the Rosebud challenge @Caspeia
Looks like you are making great progress
You are more than welcome to share your updates in this thread.
I’m back. I was wondering if I could move my sims to a bigger lot, as they’re getting a bit squished
Feel free to move but be aware progress towards collections may be reset. Before moving make note of your progress toward the Rosebud goal. You may also think about selling off excess items.

Thank you. With the birth and age up of Micah (through alien abduction) it was getting a bit crowded - Croft family
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.
Happy Simming to all! 5 Youth Potions [FIXED] Sim ages while in CAS [OPEN] Age groups start with random days added

I'm new to this challenge - on my second day - and am really enjoying it so far! One query though, due to using the money cheat at the start of the challenge to set my simoleon balance to zero, I have to manually work out costings for each purchase and take that from my balance. Is that always going to be the case throughout the challenge? I had thought about turning this into a legacy challenge too at some point but don't think I can deal with the constant maths - particularly as I get richer and money is less tight!
@lrparsnip Welcome to the forums and the Rosebud Challenge
I just let the game do the math for me. On the first page I added tips on: How to track family net worth.
Your total towards the goal will fluctuate with expenses and purchases.
@EuphorialQueen Thanks for this. I've just noticed that the game is now doing the maths for as usual. I think my error came from buying and placing an easel when on a public lot. Thanks so much for your response!
Note added to page one: Update 18April2019
April patch 1.51.75.1020 (16April2019) added Freelance careers to the base game.
Artists, authors and programmers earn money by accepting gigs and performing simple tasks.
All that is required is aelectronic sketchpad (for thr artist) and computer to chat with the client.
In testing with a household of three Sims they have earned over §65k in one week.
That makes me wonder .... how long would it take to reach the §1 Million goal?
Are you up to a new twist in this challenge?
A lot of new content has been added to our game. New traits, aspirations, skills and gameplay that could fit nicely into any of my challenges. To add it properly would take a bit of time and testing. Playing the game is still fun but I am only playing for short periods. Right now is not a good time to be able to concentrate on revising game challenges. Please feel free to amend my challenges to play as you wish.
Hopefully new inspiration will strike soon. Thank you all for your loyal following.
Happy Simming!

Attempted to revise the challenge info in the first post. Unfortunately the edit did not 'take' and I did not have a copy of the revised edit.
I presume this is due to the original being posted in 2014 making this too old to edit. I am slowly working on reformatting the original Rosebud and Rosebud 500K Solitaire challenges. Links will be added here when it is ready. In the meantime feel free to add components from new packs that you feel are in the spirit of the challenge.
Thank you and have fun.
I'm currently trying to attempt the one million challenge and I have a question. The "no more than two per household" is only for thé start? We can ask to love in a third sim later, or never more than two for the entire challenge ? Juste to be sure.
Hello,

You are correct that the number of Sims per household restriction is only for the start. Two Sims is defined as two Sims of any age or one Sim plus one pet.

I meant "ask to move in" . My phone auto-corrects, sorry
