Sim of the Month Challenge
crunk:
My Gordon made it to the top of Athletics on Week 5, Day 2. I forgot about multi-task and instead bought him observant and legendary host first and second. I'm too used to pseudo-legacy play.
Pinstar:
Sim of the Month of July is up and ready:
Sim of the Month Challenge
Welcome to the second entry of the Sim of the Month Challenge!
What is the Sim of the Month Challenge?
Once per month, I will be uploading a new sim to my simpage. You will be given a very specific goal and a very specific set of restrictions unique to that month's sim. You goal is to achieve the goal while obeying the restrictions in as few sim-days as possible.
Universal Rules
There are a set of rules and restrictions universal to all Sims posted for this challenge, but don't worry, they are much fewer than the Legacy Challenge.
You may not purchase the "Mid-life crisis" perk to change the sim's traits.
You may not merge households on the neighborhood level.
You may not move in/marry player made or downloaded sims. All other sims are fair game (unless specifically restricted by that month's sim)
No cheating (Money cheats, mood cheats, hacks that give you an advantage over those who do not have the hack)
You must obey the sim-specific restriction. Failing to do so means the challenge is failed.
You may use any aging speed you like. In fact you are encouraged to use epic speed if you want to keep a single neighborhood with all your past Sims of the Month. Story progression can be on or off at your discretion.
Customization
Awesomemod is allowed with this challenge, just be sure to turn off any aspects that affect jobs.
If you can't/don't want to download this month's sim from my simpage, you're more than welcome to re-make him or her in CAS. Even change their name and appearance if you wish. The important parts to replicate are the sim's age, gender, lifetime wish and traits.
Scoring
The only score for this and all Sims of the month will be speed. You will be racing against time. The fewer days you can accomplish your goal, the better.
Starting off
Download the sim of the month (or re-make them yourself) and import them into any neighborhood. You may want to create a neighborhood used for all of your Sims of the month, but you don't have to. The sim must be alone when he or she is moved in. You may move the sim into ANY lot they can afford, as long as it is unoccupied. This can be a pre-built or empty lot. Once you do that, your challenge begins!
Presenting July's sim
Name: Theresa Dolphina
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Female
Traits: Family Oriented, Genius, Hates the Outdoors, Angler, Technophobe
Goals: Reach the top of the Journalism Career, Purchase a teleporter from the aspiration perks menu.
Restrictions: Can only eat seafood dishes. Theresa must submerge herself in water at least once per day. Theresa may not join the science career, or interact with the science lab in any way.
Difficulty: Medium
Prelude:
The Dockwood Dolphins, after losing their final game in a huge upset to their biggest rivals the Red Rabbits, who were lead to victory by the underdog star player Gordon Loadsworth, came up with a plan. They would bolster team spirit and frighten their rivals by creating a living mascot. So they commissioned the local science center to create the mascot. It was this ‘living mascot' experiment that transformed then-test subject, Theresa Dole, into the half-human half dolphin hybrid that she is today.
Bio:
As a result of her transformation, Theresa can speak both human and dolphin languages. After escaping the lab and talking with her fellow dolphins (real dolphins, not the sports team), Theresa learns that the earth is in grave danger and feels the need to warn the inhabitants of the planet. Nobody will listen to her warning at the moment, but Theresa knows that if she can become established in the world of broadcasting, she can not only get her message to every corner of the globe, but also have it taken seriously. She also needs to finish building the teleporter the dolphins instructed her to build so she can escape with the rest of them before the planet does get destroyed.
While fearful of the science lab and the technology it used to transform her, Theresa is mostly able operate in ‘normal society' Theresa must still attend to her dolphin aspects, needing the occasional dip in the water and a steady stream of fish to keep herself healthy.
Pinstar Says:
This month's challenge is a bit harder than Gordon's. Theresa has not one but two major goals to meet, the need to reach the journalism career top and the need to buy a teleporter. You'll have to balance her career advancement with wish fulfillment, all while taking care of her dolphin needs. You may want to start off getting Thersa's fish supply and cooking skills up right away so she can keep herself fed. In addition to seafood, Theresa is allowed to eat at the diner, the bistro and work without breaking the diet restriction. The 'submerge in water' requirement is fulfilled by having Theresa go swimming or take a bath. Theresa's teleporter must be purchased using Theresa's own aspiration points. Oh, and yes, this month's sim was heavily inspired by the book "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
