Homeless Shelter

By "Max" a skill, do you mean reach the highest level or do every single little item in the skill?  You CAN reach lvl 10 in some skills without doing all the little tasks.

It's just the skill level itself - not performing all the various unlocks at the different levels.

Sorry about editing the rules after the light turned green on this event, but the team decided to add...

***Sims can marry, but can't move in spouse. Only your sim can ask someone to move in.

***No changing aspirations for anyone until an aspiration has been completed.

ooh this one sounds fun! reminds my of the baby boom challenge from last year, which was one of my favorites!

Any rules about moving them out?  Do they have to be moved back to "not in world", or may they move into a neighbouring house?

You get credit as soon as they leave your household, so it does not matter where the Sims end up. I'm assuming it should go without saying that you could not bring in the same homeless Sim a 2nd time - I do not need to spell that out in the rules, right?

Can your sim marry a homeless sim that is already moved in?  Or does it have to be someone who has not and will never move in?

Yeah, the important thing I believe that the team wanted to avoid is to not have the spouse be part of the household.

*GlazeyLady - I deleted your question. I am PMing you the answer.

Ima Doogood started the Willow Creek Reform Center for the Homeless,to help them get a headstart with their dreams and careers. When she retired she had help the following amount:

Moved Out: 13x5=65


Remaining: 3x1=3

Total Score: 68

sdhoey,
 Ha! ha! love your Sim's name. Brilliant.

I do want to thank you for putting these together. I doubt I would have ever played Sims 3 & 4 for very long if it wasn't for stuff like this.

I picked up on this challenge a few days ago. Tonight, the game crashed and I lost a day and a half. There's really no way to reproduce what you did. How do you handle stuff like that?

[tjtemple]

It's awful when that happens    For the future there is a mod that autosaves which I believe is allowed in challenge files.  I use the one from Modthesims.info

Welcome to the forum, you'll love it here; especially the challenges.  Though I am finding this one very tough myself even without losing any play!

[Metropolis Man]

@Highlander - welcome to the forum and the Tournament. As tj said, the autosave mod would not be an issue for the team. We're pretty lenient in allowing restarts, etc - the game is buggy. No getting around that unfortunately. But, in the event of misfortunes with your file in the future, just PM the entire team and we'll tell you how to proceed.

I am really enjoying this years challenges, well done to everyone who produces them. I am also amazed by the scores people can achieve, so well done to all those that post scores. Nearly always I practise, think that this challenge I might succeed and post and then real life intervenes and then it's too late! One day
