Rules: I am an Artiste! Project

[Krrank]

This is a challenge I have come up with for persons that like to play solo, ambitious, career oriented Sims, rather than the family type games. There are quite a few artistic related skills and LTWs to play around with. I wrote this a while ago but never got around to playing it out. So here goes

Special thanks goes to Marwolfer who graciously helped me to test it out and make changes.

It's not quite error-proof yet, so feedbacks would be welcomed.
I will be updating my own stories too... I hope I finish it though.

NOTE: PLEASE READ RULES FOR EACH GENERATION CAREFULLY. THANKS 
 REQUIRES WORLD ADVENTURES and AMBITIONS

The Challenge

Complete all 5 generations to finish challenge.

General rules

1.   No cheats allowed, except moveobjects, resetsim, and build mode enhancers
2.   No Mods allowed, except store fixes and those that only affect Sims appearance (Let’s keep the playing field even, shall we?)
3.   You may use all forms legally allowed in gameplay to increase lifespan and money, No ambrosia allowed. (please use only normal lifespan)
4.   There's no point system involved. Just post links to your Pictures which will serve as proof of your achievements
5.   You may live anywhere you want
6.   You may ONLY have a job where the rules allow.
7.   You may move house, but to make things sporting, I would prefer you maintain one house and expand it. It would serve to gather all the collections from your different generations
8.   There is an alternate set of rules for Generation 5. So please read it before playing Gen 4. Thanks

Alternate 5th generation (you have to choose one or the other)

AND THAT'S ALL THAT SHE WROTE. GOODLUCK AND HAVE FUN!!

This looks like an interesting project. I haven't done most of these artsy skills, so it'll be a new experience for me! 

Is there a reason why the spouses in Gen 3 and 4 have to have a certain job?

Well, it's all part of the theme really. It's just my way of making sure the spouse is in a non-artistic field and of the 9 to 5 variety. I wrote this back when I had only Ambitions and WA, so it's okay to choose other careers. For me, the heir is the important character.

Ah, okay. Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
