The bushes from Get Together do cost more than a toilet, but it's actually cheaper when you factor in costs to build a little outhouse, wall paints, a door, etc. Remember that you can also use the bushes as a bed and a woohoo location, so really the bushes are far more cost-effective than a toilet.
Thanks for the input! Unfortunately I can't even get them to roast a hot dog or marshmallows. The same thing happens! So I'm going to try removing that mod and see what happens.

Yeah, I noticed that the fish went away, but when I got rid of the Mod I just had to supervise them so they didn't stuff their faces with marshmallows, basically. So if I just pay attention, it's actually working with fish now! Thanks for your suggestion! I have them eat plants and produce now too - since the rules now state that the plants and stuff don't count towards money making.
I hope it solves your problem, it did for me! And thank you! You just have to be careful not to click on the fun-bar, because the kids will start roasting marshmallows if you do.
I have to say I really disagree with some of these suggestions, while agreeing with others. When it comes to the age of marriage it really does depend on what social group you're playing as. For lower class medieval people the avarage age of marriage was late teens to early twenties with women marrying slightly younger than men but the age gaps were pretty much the same as our modern ones. For nobles it changes because marriages were motivated by politics rather than love but there's no reason for every match to be YA female - Adult/Elder male (in fact you could even have the woman be older as that did sometimes happen).
Also while pre-marital sex was technically illegal medieval definitions differed from ours. An engaged couple having sex was perfectly acceptable and they might be considered married afterwards. The church didn't really interest itself in marriage until later in the period, couples could and did get married anywhere and the method could be as simple as them both declaring their intention to marry or the woman accepting a ring from the man. In fact, the biggest way the early medieval church got involved was sorting out who was and who wasn't married to each other. Anyway this has all been a rather long and roundabout way of saying medieval people were by no means prudes, go ahead and do what you like with your future husband.
I could rant about how the term 'Dark Ages' is stupid and innaccurate and made up by rennaaisence people to make themselves look better but that would be completely irrelevant so I won't
@Cloudseeker I'd also really like to bring up the issue of women marrying their brothers-in-law again. In the middle ages this was actually illegal because it was considered to be incest so I really think this rule should be changed.
Thank you for letting us know! Do you mind posting here again when your mod is updated? It's a central mod to this challenge's playstyle
I'm afraid it will never be updated since the creator "left" and supposedly has quit modding..
Oh, how unfortunate. Perhaps @Cloudseeker will make note of this in his history challenge update document. Thank you for letting us know!
How are you planning on doing this with City Living and lot-traits, though?
I found that making a nice lot for you to take your male ancestor to... woo the ladies... works well as you can decorate it with lots of plants and a pool/bush to handle all your needs while you're there. Getting five sims pregnant was always the most difficult part in my experience, but once I got them in the mood I didn't take any chances and had them try for baby at least three times before leaving, lol Remember that when you leave your family on one lot while you follow another sim, the other family members will "magically" take care of themselves. I found this rather useful when I got to the anglerfish grind.
As far as the roasting goes, I hope that the mod author updates it soon but until then my suggestion is to micro-manage your Sims and keep a close eye on them to make sure they don't roast anything but fish
@Cloudseeker has said numerous times that he's super busy with other projects, so this challenge likely won't get an official update for a while. Until then, I would recommend you just do what makes sense for the era you're in and doesn't make the challenge too easy
Oooh I never thought of making a nice lot for the sims to woo the ladies/men. Generation 0 had two kids, the woman had multiple partners because I figured - why not. And I also had a new member join the "tribe" so generation 2 is on its way. I did mess up sometimes and sold a few paintings, but I figure I didn't make a lot. It's hard making money in the early civilization, though. But it's an awesome challenge and I love recording it!
Lol yeah, I always took them to the neighborhood watering hole which is why my latest watering hole on the gallery has a couple bushes for woohooing
Also, you are allowed to sell paintings at any time, you just can't count them toward the prehistoric era's money goal
Thank you very much.

I've gotten into Early Civilization, but I'm generally bad about committing to one game for a while and am currently on a Sims 4 hiatus--rather indefinitely.
I'm on the 3rd gen right now - I added in a few of my own making and I'm not playing 100% to the rules. My third era is a boho traveler era that has Indian influences. I've kind of mixed in some other cultures into my eras so I have more to work with in terms of decor and clothing (like my early civilization era had Asian influences and etc)
Sure, you can translate all you want Just make sure to have a link to this thread if you post your translation online somewhere
I'm currently in The Middle Ages era and soon heading into the Old West era
