This challenge is a mixture of farm challenges and this is where I found them
https://modthesims.info/t/363053
https://modthesims.info/showthread.php? ... ost3077659

Made a CAS sim no skills or badges
Your founder's aspiration must be fortune/or similar
If you do one generation play to the founder's death (they can date and have fun but no children and nobody moving in)
If you do five generations. You may move someone in (if you want too) You must have at least one child to carry on the family name.
But nobody will be getting a job it is all about farming, (veggies/fishing and animals if you can use them)
You are the first to find this land, there is only water no electricity.

Do not worry about other jobs Farming is your life

You must use all four seasons.
You must have a seasons/ or expansion park to farm the land
Move your sim to second to last biggest lot (unless it makes your computer lag) then whichever doesn't.
You must have a pond/ a 5x5 lots farmland/similar
If you have a mod that you can plant anything that is ok. As long as it doesn't give you an influx of loads of money.

You must build yourself a shack/home with one bedroom to start off with. Loo and shower must be outside. You can have one counter/one fridge/one trashcan/juicer/1 double bed Bookshelf with no learning skills just reading only. Can expand home when crops start making money.

Any improvement to the house can only be done after the first harvest is in.
If possible stove/barbecue outside. No electronics/there is no electric

The phone is only allowed used once (you can choose which day) a week. You can answer at any time but not make a phone call.

You can either do Patriarchy/matriarchy or randomly choose an heir but you must choose at the beginning of the challenge and not change it.

At the end of Your founder's life (if not doing 5 or ten generations) Take the value of your house and assets to see how much you have made
After five years. Take the value of your house and assets and see how much you have made. Or after ten years, take the value of your house and assets and see how much you have made.

There are THREE Flairs to this challenge
One for just the founder
One for the 5 generations
and one for the 10 generations.

I want to do this challenge with a townie founder in my new BACC, though I'll make sure they don't have gardening or fishing badges. But I have a question. I know the spirit of the challenge is set in the 1800s. But could it be an off the grid type thing and after a couple successful harvests, they can get solar panels for electricity? Still following the phone rules though.

I love farming challenge, so I might start it. Question: in case I want to do the 5 gen / 10 gen variation, the no electricity rule is for the founder gen or all generations?

That can be up to your Ceresin, adapt the challenge for how it works for you.

One more question. The original challenge said to only sell crops off the plant. But I'm doing a BaCC and could I make a shop and sell the at cheap prices?

Oh nice!

Another question. I am doing the single generation. I will then start over from the beginning if I choose to do the 5 gen. Can I just take that information, post it for that flair and then continue on to do the 10 gen? Do we have to start over each time for the generational ones?

for the founder generation, take the information of your founder. Then you can carry on to the 5 gen and then carry on to the ten gen. Hope that helps

So, if we play this first gen to death, how do we continue on from there?

For Sims 2, for the bookcase with no skill books, Sims 2 bookshelves always come with with all possible books, skill or other. When can we allow Sims to read the skill books from the bookcase with Sims 2? There's no deleting the skill books either.

This challenge does look interesting and I'll be adding it to my BACC once I've got a CAS point to use.

You can buy the bookcase at the beginning but don't learn skills from the books ie do cooking will increase you cooking skill, do cleaning will increase your cleaning skill, you can just read a book like read for pleasure.

Oh that's a good idea. I may do that very thing.

Edit: I didn't even think to make a young again potion.

When do the limits on how many items we can buy increase or get removed? Playing generationally so I would need additional beds at some point.

Do the limits get removed as soon as the first harvest comes in?

That's how I read it. I started buying upgrades and stuff after the first harvest.

Chapter 2. This completes the first generation challenge!

Can Sims (like the founder's spouse) earn money from things like crafts?
