In this Let’s Play we are following our teens Alice Barker and Celeste FitzRoberts, both are spellcasters who were born in my Life After Foster Challenge LP. They’ve decided to set out to the new world of Mt Komorebi and take on the challenge of starting with nothing. Their parents have given them the summer (2 sim weeks) to get established (ie get a small home) and if they do they can stay and continue to pursue their dreams.
Goals for this challenge:
- Get a small home by the end of the summer (two sim weeks). All days are vacation days so they do not need to attend school during the summer.
- Reach the top of the drama club that they are currently in before they can quit.
- Maintain their positive character values (at least 4).
- They must have/get a grade A in high school.
- Both must max the rock climbing skill and at least one of the other two new skills (snowboarding and skiing).
- They both must complete the two new aspirations.
- Complete the new Simmi collection.
- Vacation in at least two other worlds.
- Reach a total value of 200,000 at a minimum (ie total of the home’s value and their money).
- At least one must marry and have a child when they become a young adult.
- Someone in the household must join the Salaryperson career and at a minimum reach the point where they choose their branch (this can be a spouse/significant other that comes in later).
- See how famous they can be as skiiers/snowboarders (requires Get Famous).
Rules/Guidelines for this challenge:
- Our sims start with no money on an empty lot and they must pay off the value of the items they brought with them, excluding the homework books, before buying anything (two journals & one crocus, value is 53). Generally to follow the rules from my Rags to Riches guidelines, link here: https://maplesimmer.video.blog/2020/05/05/sims-4-rags-to-riches-guidelines/
- Note the lifespan I’ve chosen is ‘long’, if you’d like to play along you can choose the lifespan you want.
- If our sims want to go to other worlds they must vacation there (exception is using glimmerstone to go to Magic HQ, visiting a vet clinic if they get a pet and it’s ill, going to the hospital & if they start university, visiting the campus or library). For the purposes of this challenge, Willow Creek, Newcrest & Magnolia Promenade are considered one world and Oasis Springs & Del Sol Valley are considered another world. Rental lots have been placed in one of every world except Strangerville, Forgotten Hollow & Britechester.
- If anyone moves in they can’t bring any money or furniture with them. If they do, use cheats to remove the money.
Character Background & Related Let’s Plays:
Alice & Cecile were born and raised until they were teens in my Life After Foster Child Let’s Play if you’d like to see them when they were younger.
While that let’s play focused on their parents as young adults, their parents were originally from my Foster Child Challenge Let’s Play.
Alice’s mother is Jasmine Barker (father is Darrell Charm who came with Realm of Magic) and Cecile’s parents are Eviee Roberts and Clark Fitzgerald. Please note that both Jasmine Barker & Eviee Roberts were provided as toddlers by BeckyXD (Origin ID) and raised to young adults in my Foster Child Challenge. Evie met her now husband Clark as a teen & he joined the Foster Child family and was raised to a young adult and they then married at the end of the challenge. 😊
If you’d like to play along, here’s a link to where they are on the gallery or if you prefer to play with my save, which has their family and the Foster Child Challenge sims. It has been updated to add rental lots to many residential worlds as noted above in rule 3 and updated commercial lots. This save may use items from all packs up to and including Snowy Escape.
