Life Skills Challenge

I’ve asked if viewers would like to see the seven children from Super Kids Challenge (before that, they were the toddlers in my Rags to ‘Riches’ 7 Toddler Challenge😊), continue in a Let’s Play as teens. So far the consensus is yes. As a result I’ve come up with some goals for them as teens in what I’m tentatively calling ‘Life Skills Challenge’, though I’m open to other name suggestions! Timing of when it will go live will depend on when the kids have completed all their child goals, but we’re getting close on that!

Goals for our Teens

I’m thinking of the following goals for all seven when they are teens:

1. To become grade A high school students,
2. To get to level four in the following skills:
   * cooking, handiness, gardening, charisma, fitness, logic, one instrument (that allows them to continue with their emotional control), research & debate (requires Discover University),
3. To do the first tier of the following aspirations:
   * Friend of the World
   * Nerd Brain/Renaissance Sim (the first tier is the same)
   * Athletic
   * Music
4. To max a part time career or their odd job rating (the latter requires Island Living)
5. To keep at least 4 character values in a range to be positive, though preferably all 5, when they age to Young Adult, these must include Manners & Responsibility.
6. To get to level 2 of their chosen aspiration (these will be picked based on ones teens can do)
7. At a minimum max one skill (this will be determined up front, but will depend on the teen & their interests/chosen aspiration)

We will also see if any of them make any friends and/or start any romances. As such I’d love to have your teen sims (if they are part of a family and/or have been played with, even better) in my save. Use #MaplesLifeSkillChallengeSims when sharing to the gallery. Please no custom content.

Goals for Norah

While the children are working on those goals, Norah will need to finish the fortune aspiration if she hasn’t already done so and she plans to start university and perhaps work on her cooking aspirations while attending university.

Also, after raising seven children it might be nice for her to find love so her nest isn’t that empty when the kids eventually leave. I’d love some sims to place in my world for her too, use #MaplesLifeSkillChallengeSims, same as above. 😊

Let me know in a comment, either here or on the Super Kids Challenge Let’s Play, if there’s anything else you’d like to see added to this challenge or in general for the Let’s Play.

Once the children have aged up to teens I will add a link to the family and their home if you’d like to play along.
