Player challenge: Difference between revisions

A '''player challenge''' is a goal which the player defines then attempts to achieve while playing a game in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]]. Challenges are not a standard part of the games themselves, but are instead created by players. These players may share their challenges with other players, including successes and failures. Some forms of challenges have become particularly well- known within the player community of ''The Sims.''

The player starts with one adult [[Sim]] by themselves in what is known as a "legacy lot" (a lot, usually 5x5 or 6x5, with only the bare necessities for the Sim). A 6x5 lot suggests that the player is doing the extreme handicap. The original rules suggest 5x5, because it was created before 6x5 lots were introduced in the games. In the base game, the biggest lot that can be made is 5x5. The use of cheats and who the family members can marry are strictly regulated. In every generation, there is supposed to be an heir who keeps the legacy going.

The '''Super Sim Challenge '''or Ultimate Sim Challenge, is a challenge originally created by '[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_5Pqmm2Lpo&list=PLuzvHRb6sYq6zEVpXQQaURltM2dbc8YLU LLandros09] ' on YouTube but more popularly seen by '[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC65SbK7DTllBxF7Uzinkgdg The Sim Supply]', on YouTube, for The Sims 3 and [[The Sims 4]].

In this challenge, the player starts out with a single sim, and their goal is to master all [[skills]], [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspirations]] (Including the hidden [[Grilled Cheese (aspiration)|Grilled Cheese aspiration]]), careers (both branches are not required), get all the reward traits, and become a vampire, and reach the 'Grand Master' rank, and start a family as well to complete both toddler skills, child skills, and probably become an 'A Grade Student'. The rules restrict the use of cheats during the challenge. If the sim dies, they '''must '''be re-surrectedresurrected with the use of [[Ambrosia]].

The '''Warrior Cat Challenge''', is a challenge made by anSeri! unknownPixel simmerBiologist!, for [[The Sims 3 Pets]]. The challenge is based on the famous novel book series, 'Warrior Cats'.

The player starts with a single cat, working their way to make a big and strong clan in the forest, meadows, rivers, etc., by inviting strays, and other petscats to their clan. These animals must be wild and have made no human contact. Since a human is required in every household, one human can be created and considered to have been accepted into the clan.

The '''Poverty Challenge''' is a challenge, originally created by 'Yinakori' on [[ModTheSims]], for ''[[The Sims 2]]''.<ref name="Povertychallenge">[httphttps://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=335033 Yinakori's Poverty Challenge] on [[ModTheSims]] forums</ref> There are strict rules about which items can be owned, and limitations on objects that can be carried in a Sim's [[inventory]]. Starting with only §100 and an empty lot, the player must find a way for the Sim to gain §20,000 without a [[career]] or cheats.

''Alice and Kev''<ref>http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/</ref> is an example of a modified Poverty Challenge from ''The Sims 3''. It is the story of a homeless family in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' created by Robin Burkinshaw, a British web design student. The story follows Alice and her father, Kev. Alice is a loser, unlucky, clumsy, good-hearted and above all miserable. Her father, Kev, is mean-spirited, quick to anger, and inappropriate. He also dislikes children, and he’she's insane. They live in an abandoned park. Kev and Alice wander around this virtual city, sleeping on benches and digging through garbage bins.
