What's the best stories you've read?
Renatus:
Whee, thanks! This dlooks like it has the potential for a LOT of amusement. I am interested in seeing your tweaks, and I think I'll make some of my own as well... perhaps making them all romance sims for the duration, then once the challenge is all over, changing them to whatever suits their personalities and interests best.

I've played it a few times, and it is always totally hilarious. I did modify the rules somewhat; basically, during the "dates" I try to give my sims some time to initiate their own interactions, and I fiddled a bit with the required interactions. I should post my modifications, I guess.
I just started writing a story based on the challenge; the first episode is nearly done.
Okay, I'm still working on my ISBI challenge.... 1 gen is in permaplat and the next gen is about to graduate from Uni.... but this looks like a total RIOT! I'm definitely gonna try this one and since it's short, it will hold my attention.... <mumbles> adhd and all.... <muttering>
edit to add: what about jealousy? I thought if sims were on the lot they would get jealous with a love relationship. Rohina, did you play with the romance/jealousy mod in place? Since there wouldn't be a committed relationship.....

No! Totally don't! The romance sims don't always do the best, and it's much more fun to watch the interactions with sims of differents personalities. Remember, romance sims hate committment, and the object of the challenge is ostensibly to create a couple. If you wanted to narrow it down, then I would make a maximum of 3 romance sims. If your single is romance, he/she is quite likely to surprise you by picking a sim of a different aspiration.

No, I didn't use a jealousy mod; the sims only get jealous if they see an interaction like flirting. I was just careful to have a "date" room, and sent the other sims off to the shower or whatever until it was their turn. Of course, I did have a few slapfests because of spontaneous flirting. It's part of the fun. One of the modifications of the rules I made was to do with this. I found that often after a sim was voted out, the batchelor/ette would suddenly want to be friends or flirt with him/her. When there was a relationship meltdown because of jealousy, I used the option of bringing back a previous suitor, if he/she had a higher score than any of those remaining in the house. Hope that makes sense.

I so want more people to play this challenge because it is so funny.
