this is a revamp of asphodel moon's occult legacy challenge to be more compatiable for the sims 3. credits to asphodel moon for the inspiration and majority of the introductory writing.

generation one; the scientist

After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living on the outskirts of a desert town. You’re not there for very long before you start to notice strange things flying through the skies and the locals seem to act as if nothing is out of the ordinary especially the odd green ones. You apply for a job at the local lab as these irregularities inspire you to question; what’s out there?

generation two; the alien

Your parents were always honest when they said you were different from all the other children in class. Throughout your life, you strive to get back to your roots and find your true, authentic self. You're always finding yourself feeling jealous of those who fit in oh so easily and know who their true authentic selves are. This pushes you to become super interested in space and are determined to visit and meet more people like you.

generation three; the gardener

After growing up in a super hot, super sandy enviroment, you want nothing more than to live somewhere cooler, more green and closer to nature. You find yourself moving to a place that's somewhat of your expectations even though the congestion of the city slightly irriatates you.

✧ lifetime wish; the perfect garden. ✧ required traits; green-thumb, loves the outdoors, eco-friendly. ✧ career; gardener profession. ✧ spouse; marriage allowed, must be a like-minded sim. ✧ location; twinbrook or riverview. ✧ children; must be human. ✧ limit on children; only one allowed. ✧ max skills; gardening. ✧ other; grow a forbidden fruit, become a plant sim.

generation four; the paranormal

Your parents love of nature and the enviroment has a great influence on you, but only with regards with being happy somewhere green. You find yourself living in a small gloomy town with a lot of history and oddities; two topics you find the most interesting.

generation six; the vampire

Your parents felt a connection over their oddities and similarities to the undead which resulted in you, a fanged bundle of joy. Born a creature of the night you struggled to maintain relationships with non-occults which lead to a dislike to anyone who wasn't like you.

generation seven; the hound

After growing up in the big city, surrounded by odd looks and flashing lights; you want nothing more than a bit of peace and quiet. Oh, and some normality. You move to a hidden town in the mountains, away from all the hustle and bustle where you start your own life and maybe a family.

With such peculier ancestors, magic brews within you. After growing up in Hidden Springs and noticing the slight magical occurances around, you decide you need to be somewhere where magic has deep roots which is why you find yourself in Moonlight falls.

generation nine; the fae

After living in a town with such deep magical roots and pecularities all around, you feel like you blend in a little too much which drove you a little crazy - you dream of a life in the spotlight which provokes your move to a dazzling city that's all about stardom.

✧ lifetime wish; vocal legend or master acrobat. ✧ required traits; social butterfly, insane/unstable, diva. ✧ career; players-choice/based on lifetime wish. ✧ spouse; yes, two marriages; first with a human and last with a genie. ✧ location; starlight shores. ✧ children; any. ✧ limit on children; four, but the heir must be a female genie.** ✧ max skills; guitar, charisma. ✧ other; obtain the genie lamp through anyway other than the rewards store (exploring the catacombs, dimensional gate, etc), free the genie. ** this is so your next generation's mermaid will be born into the household.

generation ten; the wishgiver

Born from a fairy and a genie, you've always been told you were magical but after growing up near the beaches of Starlight Shores the only thing that seemed magical in your life was the sea, this inspired you to move somewhere that seems like it was created from your very own wishful love of the ocean.

Your mother loved the sea so dearly which shines through you as you are a child of the ocean; a merchild. You never knew you father growing up but that never stopped you from seeking him out later in life. Your story and ancestry seems to hold so many mysterys, what will you uncover?

Tiny Town Challenge Expanded - The Sims 3

The inspiration for this challenge came from Deligracy's Tiny Town challenge for The Sims 4 (Original rules HERE). I loved the idea of the challenge, but The Sims 3 has a huge advantage: it already has an open world, so the houses didn't need to be restricted to one lot, but instead, we could build a real community. That's why, in addition to translating, I took some time to adapt it in the best possible way to everything that TS3 offers us.

I kept the characteristics of the Sims from the original challenge as best as I could, but adapted them to keep them as "autonomous" as possible.

I have all the expansions and stuff packs, so feel free to do only what fits into what you already have in your game and/or adapt it as best you can.

Tiny Town Challenge Expanded - The Sims 3

When I saw the Stardew Valley map by @boringbones, I felt this would be a perfect match! You don't have to start on the same map as me, but I strongly suggest you start on a tiny or small mapto really have the proximity between the lots and, even better, if it's empty so you can populate it as you play with the Sims.

I'm just starting to play this challenge, so not all the rules have been tested. I will adapt as needed and welcome suggestions.

Tags: #TinyTownTS3 #tiny town challenge ts3 or tag my "@". I would love to know you're playing too. 😍

The Goal

The goal of this challenge is to build a town with tiny houses for up to 16 Sims (depending on whether you want to use mods or not or which packs you own) that match their desires and skills.

You can watch my gameplay of this challenge on my YouTube channel here. (link to be available soon)

The Stardew Valley map can be purchased here (link for download).

The Rundown

Each Sim has a set skill that you must utilize to fund the construction of their tiny home. For example, Frank Stem likes flower arranging, so you must sell flower arrangements to fund his Tiny House build.

You must also represent each Sim's favorite style and color in the build (see the Sim characters below). You can only work on one Sim's house at a time, moving each Sim in individually as you "unlock" them.

To "unlock" the next Sim, you must complete the previous Sim's home.

How to Play

Start by moving your first Sim into a lot of your choice.

To select your first Sim, you can use an online randomizer or simply choose your favorite.

After moving your first Sim in, use a money cheat to set the Sim's money to $0.

Each Sim should start on their lot with their skill item of choice and some useful items. They also start with a sleeping bag (requires Generations), a mini fridge, and an All-in-One Bathroom (requires Island Paradise, Into the Future, or Movie Stuff). Feel free to adjust these items if you don't have the necessary packs. After placing these items on the lot, set the money back to $0.

After finding your skill items, start earning Simoleons by selling your creations!

Use this money to build your Sim's tiny home!

Since we don't have a sales table in The Sims 3 like we do in The Sims 4, I suggest that all collectibles and creations be sold at the consignment store (requires: NRAAS Consigner - [link HERE]).

Extra Rules and Ideas

Your Sims can contribute to community areas to help other neighbors when they move in and to create a pleasant sense of community and lifestyle. Ideas could be a shared laundry, bathroom, BBQ area, garden, central square, pool, etc.

As you play, your town will grow and your community will become fuller. When you reach the last Sim, you can go back to playing with the first family, and here, my suggestion would be to put everyone in a rotational household using Story Progression and evolve with each family.

If you don't have all the necessary packs, feel free to alter the challenge to suit the packs you have, or use the base game features. There are many ways to make money, including tasks like collecting valuable objects or careers.

You can play on any lifespan, but I suggest playing on epic or disabling aging altogether to get the most out of your Sims.

According to the original rules, you can use cheats, rewards, and anything else to make it easier, but keep in mind that the easier you make it for yourself, the less challenging it will be!
