Zeros to Heroes

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Get ready for a meat grinder. Your two Sims start with incompatible traits, are enemies with each other, and are plopped down at lowly Crick Cabana. See how fast your Sims can transform themselves and accomplish four key goals.


Challenge Rules

• Remember, the General Rules apply to all Tournament challenges. Exceptions may be noted below.
• In CAS (no Story Mode), create 2 Young Adult Human Sims (no life state changes allowed). Their relationship must be Household Members. Sim 1 must be assigned the following traits: Good, Cheerful, & Romantic. Sim 2 must be assigned the following traits: Evil, Mean, & Unflirty. During the course of the game, you can attain additional traits but you are not allowed to swap any traits.
• Moving the household may only happen in Live Mode - no using the Household Management screen. The only additions to the household are babies born or adopted AFTER your Sims are married to each other.
• Your Sims must start out by moving into Crick Cabana (furnished) in Willow Creek.
• Your Sims must start out the game as enemies. To do this you must immediately pause the game and open the cheat panel; type 'testingcheats true' into the cheat box to enable cheats; replacing Sim1 & Sim2 with your actual Sims names, type: ModifyRelationship Sim1 Sim2 -100 LTR_Friendship_Main; type 'testingcheats false' into the cheat box to disable cheats; close the cheat panel. (Confirm that the relationship bar is fully red for each of them.)
• This challenge concludes when your starting Sims are married to each other, have each completed a 4-Requirement Aspiration (does not have to be unique), have each reached Level 8 of unique careers (different branches of the same career are considered unique for this event), and have Household Funds of §500,000.

Photography increasing friendship extremely quickly was patched at some point this year. I'm not sure if photos give any gain to friendship now. The last time I had a sim try to befriend someone I tried both taking photos and friendly socials and the latter was definitely more effective.

Oh, this one sounds really fun! I hope I have time to participate. We are moving and it's been a very busy few months.

Should we move in to Crick Cabana furnished?

Yes. I’ll update the verbiage when I get home.

Given the time @sone posted above I highly encourage everyone to not wait until the end of next week to start their file. This is a harder challenge and will take some time to finish.

Just as a reminder, when opening up the spreadsheet you need to make a copy for yourself. There is an option under file I believe to make a copy.

[Elinoee]

Yes @Teresa , I realized it afterwards! Thanks
