The Lonely Nerd Project Rules
By folcon

As a lonely outcast who couldn't make friends in school, you decide to build some yourself.

Goal:
With 1 YA Sim, you must build 7 Simbots and become best friends with all of them.
All Simbots must complete their Lifetime Wish
Project ends after all seven Simbots have been built you have best friend status with all seven. And all Life Time Wishes are completed.

Rules:
Create 1 YA normal Sim.  Your Sim must remain a normal human Sim throughout the game.
Traits and Looks are up to you. 
You must choose Monster Maker LTW.
You may play in any EA made town, though Bridgeport is not recommended due to prior problems with the Simbot opportunity chain.
Aging must be set to normal, Story Progression on, and Free Will high.  All other world settings are your choice.
No edit town except to add missing lots, and bookcases to libraries.
No cheats apart from the standard reset Sim and building cheats.
No Mods or CC.
Your Sim must be registered as an Inventor.
You may use ambrosia once each time a Simbot is built.  No other life extending methods are allowed.
Max of 21 days of vacation, Simbots may not go.
You may have pets, but are limited to 1.
University is off limits.
Board breaking to obtain gems is banned.
Genies are allowed, but must be released into the wild if freed.
Maids, Butlers, and Bonehilda are banned.
All premium content from the store is banned.

The Simbots:
You must build all the Simbots yourself. 
Bottled Simbot Converter elixir is banned.
Cloning Simbots through the Science skill is banned.
You cannot reprogram your Simbots to get better traits for them; you get what they come with.
Simbots may not have jobs and cannot leave the lot.
Simbots can bring in money from skills, but may not be registered as self employed.
Since Simbots cannot leave the lot, you may change their LTW wish if and only if it cannot be completed from home.

Household Restrictions:
Only the Simbots created by your Sim may become part of the household.  All others that somehow become added must be kicked out or released into the wild as soon as possible.  This includes children from time travel, and released genies.  Children from alien abduction must be returned to their home planet as soon as possible.

Any Genies freed from lamps must be released into the wild.
The following LTR are banned, Clone Voucher, My Best Friend, Age Freeze, Master of Seduction.

I like this challenge.  I just bought all of the Steampunk sets from the store.  I think they would work well in an inventor's home.  My son, 11, wants to be an inventor when he grows up.  I can't wait to get started.

@folcon:

I don't see this project linked on the official Projects thread.  Before posting a Project, you must get it approved by me and the Challenge team.  Did you do this?

Yes I did Pam.  I still have the pm from you giving the approval and permission to post it.

And Etna, it says in the rules at the bottom of Simbots, you may change their Life Time Wish if and only if, they cannot compleate it from home.

I'm sorry, folcon.  I'll put the link in the main Projects thread now.

I am writing up an official Dynasty-like variant of this challenge involving Plumbots, if you don't mind. I'll give you credit, folcon.

To Pam: Do I need to PM you if I put the rules for this variant on my blog instead of the forum and put a link in my signature linking to them? I am not trying to steal Metro's thunder but I wanted to update the rules to this challenge for Into the Future content if that is okay with folcon.

Yes, please PM me about all of this. I have some questions.

Just as a note, I am currently considering how to best revise the rule to take Into the Future into account.  I should have some updated rules I hope by the end of the week.  I got a flip-floping hours at work this week, so I can only say sometime this week.
