The Amazon Challenge (Updated For Sims 4) (Island Living Update!)

    Y.Y I was weak and added a little cat and a little dog to my tribe but without any Beast Tamer (I did it on expansion day so nothing was written here). Well... technically one of the sons of my Creator is the one teaching Freya (the dog) everything but it is not as if he was an Amazon.

    More seriously though. The Beast Tamer and the types of animals that you describe are really interesting. However in the practical aspect/side of the game I am a bit concerned. We can have only 8 Sims in a household, and if I am not mistaken (I might be, do tell me if it is the case for it totally solves my problem) animals count in that limit ? Isn't that going to make the Beast Tamer really unattractive as a role in the tribe if you can afford to have only one to two animals at a time ?

    Example : 2 slaves + 1 creator + 2 children (inc. 1 heiress) + 1 beast tamer + 2 animals. It forces you to give up on really important roles in my opinion =/ Though, again, I understand a beast tamer is an interesting thing in itself. It is more a gameplay aspect/problem that brings me here.

    So here is my question. Do you think having a pet without a Beast Tamer, if justified in a more... "storytelling" way, is possible ?

    Again, I actually find the types of animals you describe and the role interesting. It is just that 8 Sim/Household limit that bothers me Y.Y

    Thanks for the insight,
    The beast tamer is mostly there to care for the animals. You can have pets without the beast tamer but it takes quite alot of time to care for the animals. You could outsource the role to a slave but they may become too skilled and too dangerous to have around. It's really your choice on how the tribe is laid out. I'll look around and see if I can do anything abot the household limit.

    I personally play with a "master slave" he is above the general bunch though still lower than the amazons and is tasked with a lot of more important stuff, usually, he is also the only one allowed into the Amazon house repair broken stuff. Personally, I think I be handing the pet care and training to him, or maybe even make it the job of the heiress as a way to make her show responsibility and care for another living being.

    What about a Protector animal? I'm going to have some of those for my tribe. Guard dogs. I guess they could come under Hunter?

    @lovejess2 I want Cats and Dogs so bad but I'm just a poor college student...

    Yes guard dogs are listed under Hunters and are owned by the warriors. I decided to simply list the pet under Hunters as there weren't many traits or skills that would specifically fit a guard dog.

    So I have a question. Does the sire of an Amazon child have to be a slave in the tribe? Or does that just more dependent on how we play our tribe?

    The rules is women can’t marry boys or they die but on the other hand she can marry another woman if you get what I mean
  • PandaPuffPower122PandaPuffPower122 Posts: 4 New Member
    In my tribe I have a woman taking 3 jobs because I don’t have enough room

    Woman can't marry men cause they're seen as inferior so it's punishable of death.

    Update!!
    I'm now looking at ways to integrate the new new gp with the Amazon challenge. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

    Maybe some kind of trial to do with heiresses taking over or members joining the tribe? It could definitely tie-in with the explorer or warrior roles going to investigate/get the treasure from the temples etc.

    No problem, I love this challenge still not started it. Not sure on whether to wait so I can buy some more of the expansions. Can't make my mind up on the camp either. Will the new rodents play any part? Or will they just exist? The new disease could somehow be used to sacrifice or something? Like a slow painful cow plant.

    I’m gonna try this challenge again tomorrow I’m very excited! I’m gonna alter the rules a bit and only have one slave to leave room for more people. Also I’m not gonna have any townie sims move in and start out with a creator, gatherer, and slave and I have all the tribe come from them:)

    Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I've been gone and unable to update the challenge but recently I've had an issue with some pretty bad depression so I've had to take some time to get myself together. I'm not in a great place just yet but I promise to update the challenge by the end of the month.

    I think I'm totally gonna do a story. I've got a bit of an idea inspired by a few little legends, and can give it a try. My Classics course is just making me feel in a mythological mood of late (I suspect since we were discussing Pompeii and Roman religion on Monday) that had something to do with it.

    @MrsRacooney, I liked your idea of re-purposing the Townies into supporting characters. Sure makes it easier to make a few tweaks in terms of clothing than have to create new families.
