Homeless Shelter

[oshizu]

@LenaLJ   Thank you so much!
                 Using your spreadsheets during the planning stage is often just as fun as the actually gameplay!

The spreadsheet is brilliant! Thanks, Lena.

Hello All @reggikko discovered that i forgot the dancing skill in the spreadsheet, so that is now updated.

rule clarification

There has been some inquiries on what to do once your Sim has gone through all available jobs/skills for your homeless Sims. Are you allowed to do choose whatever jobs/skills you want for your Sims? The team decided that you have to go through a second unique cycle as well. I clarified the following...

**A little clarification - Preexisting skill/job levels of a homeless Sim can count towards the above requirements, but both still need to be unique. So, if you move in Sim A with Fitness level 7, then lucky you - you only have 3 more levels to cap the skill. Sim B comes along with Fitness level 8. Now you'll have to have Sim B start from scratch since Fitness was used to get Sim A moved out. Once you have gone though all available skills/jobs with the expansion packs you have chosen to play with, then you begin a second cycle of skills/jobs and keep the second cycle unique.

Do we have to build the house immediately?  Can we use a carlsguiderdc house?  Can we put our Sim on a vacant, holder, lot and bulldoze the lot we want to use to place our own home on?  Can we place Maxis created venues?

[Nutella]

Do we have to build the house immediately?

Your choice.  Remember you can't move in any homeless sims unless you have your house built.  If you want to move in homeless sims as soon as possible, then you need to build house immediately.

Can we use a carlsguiderdc house?

No. 

Can we put our Sim on a vacant, holder, lot and bulldoze the lot we want to use to place our own home on? 

No, no moving.  Once you put your sim on a lot, you must remain there the entire challenge.

Can we place Maxis created venues?

No.

Can we place Maxis created venues?

No.

I just want to make sure: we can't place one Maxis-created spa?

[Nutella]

Nope, no spa.  I asked the team earlier and boss says no, so no spa. 

[oshizu]

Nope, no spa.  I asked the team earlier and boss says no, so no spa. 

Thank you for answering so quickly!

Since Clubs are banned for all of these tournament challenges, what happens if one of the homeless Sims you take into your house, who is not in a club, autonomously joins a club at a party?

[MarianT]

If you find that someone has joined a club, just have them cancel their membership.

Is downloading a house from the Gallery for your shelter allow?

Welcome to our forum, shashniae999.

Is downloading a house from the Gallery for your shelter allow?

No, not allowed.  Build your own house from scratch or move in to one of the empty house at the start of your game/challenge.

Can you move in more than 3 homeless if you do them one person at a time?

[Nutella]

No.  Limit is 3 homeless sims in your shelter at all times.  You can have less than 3 but no more than 3.
