The Couch-Surfer Challenge

In this challenge, your sim is a couch-surfer.

He/she is a young-adult, fresh out of high-school who has left his/her parents' house and is doing a gap year before figuring out what to do with his/her life.

The idea is that your sim will always sleep at someone's house, hence is a couch-surfer.

That means you have to get your sim invited to stay over at someone's house every night (or just behave inappropriately at people's houses by sleeping there).

You must first choose a pathway for your couch-surfer, from the 4 below:

1) The Hippie (likes nature, goes fishing and hiking - basically, pick the nature and lakes places to spend your days and meet people; sell fish or collectibles or harvestables for money or eat it);

2) The Starving Artist - This pathway has 3 possible choices: you can be a musician (have a guitar and play music on the streets for money), a painter (find easels and paint for money); or a writer (find computers and write books);

3) The Part-Timer Partier (get a part-time job somewhere that allows that for young adults and go around having fun partying the rest of the day and sleep in people's houses);

4) The Hacker (have a computer if possible or go on people's computers and hack for money);

The challenge ends when your sim becomes an adult, by which time they will have found a path for their life.

In the meantime, you will have to make sure you find a house to sleep in every night and your sim will have to make money in the ways described above (or just eat at people's houses if things are really bad) - no full-time jobs are allowed!

The hard part of this challenge is that you keep getting kicked out of people's houses for 'behaving inappropriately', which means you'll rarely ever get a good night's sleep.

To make the challenge harder, play more than one sim!

Sims 4 Blog

Hello there, I'm starting a Sims 4 blog now, with stories and whatever else I upload while playing The Sims 4. Right now, I'm working on a story.

Happy simming!

Hello again, world!

So, I sort of gave up a bit on the Sims 3 there...
Ever since the sims 4 was announced I've been waiting to try out the new features and new gameplay, etc.

Hopefully, it will come out soon and I'll get back to simming!
Have fun everyone :)

Shipwrecked - Chapter 1

1. Shipwrecked

Patrick and Lea are two geologists researching in the Caribbean. One day, they were out on their boat to do some field work and it had a leak - they ran out of fuel to go back to shore. Finding themselves in the middle of the ocean, their best hope was to wash out on the shore somewhere, where they could ask for help returning. But eventually, night fell and they were forced to spend it on the small boat. Morning came and they found themselves close to land. They paddled but soon realized their plan hadn't worked - they'd washed up on a deserted island. Although this might normally be a great opportunity for their research, they were now stranded. They couldn't ask for help returning or call anyone. All that was left to do was find shelter and wait for someone to come find them. 

"Ugh, NO!" Lea was frustrated. "You have GOT to be kidding me!" She kicked the sand.

My Castaway Challenge Rules

I've been thinking about doing something different and I thought I'd like to give the Castaway Challenge a try. However, I wasn't really keen on the original rules and I don't really want a money-making based challenge. I reckon that money on the island isn't really worth anything and selling things doesn't seem to make any sense either, since there is no one to sell it to! I want to try and build a population and small village from a deserted island. 

So, I made a few changes to the challenge rules so that it fits my gaming style and my idea of the challenge. This is what I'll be using, in case anyone wants to check it out.
