Gnome is Where the Heart Is

Gnome is Where the Heart Is

Goal
Your goal is to invite Romantic Interests (relationship level = a heart symbol) into your home. Each Romantic Interest must be given a different Gnome and immediately sent on their merry way (kicked out).

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• Create 1 Young Adult Sim.
• No restrictions on pets coming into or leaving the household but you cannot start with a pet.
• The only Sims that may be added to the household are Romantic Interests and all Romantic Interests must be unique.
• Romantic Interests must join your household, immediately have a unique Gnome put in their Inventory and then kicked out of the house.
• The Inappropriate and Irresistible traits are banned.
• Players are not allowed to purchase gnomes with simoleons.
• The Genie's Love Wish is banned.

• Clean Slate/Above Reproach rewards are banned.
• Using the Relationship Transmogrifier phone app is banned.
• You are allowed 3 vacations. Length of each vacation is up to you.  Vacations can either be spent in WA worlds or at University.
• The challenge ends on Week 4, Day 7 11:59 PM.

Scoring

RI/Unique Gnome. For every unique Romantic Interest kicked out with a unique Gnome in their Inventory give yourself 1000 points.

Days. For every day you need to complete the challenge (you do not need to go until the deadline—that’s only when you must stop) you subtract 250 points from your score. Vacation days/Time spent at University also count against your score.

Total — Let’s go through an example:

You finish the challenge and at that point have kicked out 20 unique Romantic Interests all with unique Gnomes in their inventory. That’s 20000 points.

Let’s say you did elect to play until Week 4, Day 7 and also took 10 days vacation. 28 days + 10 days = 38 total days.

Every day = 250 points taken off your score = 9,500

Total = 20000 - 9500 = 11500

I have a question. The 'kick out' option usually removes all items from the Sim's inventory.  So would 'move out' be better?  I don't mean to nit pick your wording at all.   But since it's a rule, I want to be sure.  Do they need to keep that gnome, or just have them move in, then whether or not the gnome goes or stays when they're kicked out is unimportant?

Thank you!

[LenaLJ]

Nice new idea.
One question:

Romantic Interests that join your household must immediately have a unique Gnome put in their Inventory and kicked out out of the house
So I must have the Gnome before i move the Romantic Interest in right?

[ratchie]

That is correct Lena.

It does not matter that they keep it. It's the simple act of you acquiring these different gnomes that's important.

[ladydragon76]

Ok, thank you!

[Metropolis Man]

MarianT -- no restrictions on HOW one acquires Gnomes.

[RainBeau]

This sounds really fun! time to start planning and practising!

Must the romantic interest be kick out immediately after they move in? 

[Ricalynn]

To simplify the idea.   You have to get as many unique gnomes as possible and give each one to a different Romantic Interest.  So if you find a way to get 20 gnomes make sure at they go to twenty different RIs. 

Remember vacation days count for one day no matter how long you were there - even if it was for just an hour.

Must the romantic interest be kick out immediately after they move in? 

Yes.  The RI is only allowed to be in the house for as long as it takes for you to drag a gnome into their inventory.

I love it. Unique and fun challenge, Metro. Practicing this will give me a break from the babies I'm currently trying to deal with in Boomer.

[Seabody]

Just to check, if I give the same type of Gnome to two RI's, I gain 0 points for both Sims, correct?

You can't move in an RI if you don't have a unique gnome to give them.

[Gogowars329]

This looks really unique and fun. Will definitely compete.

New rule addition:

• Gnomes available in buy mode are banned.
