Aspiring Story Mode

Aspiring Story Mode

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Begin by making a Sim in CAS, no story mode-
Actually, wait. Let's try story mode.

Challenge Rules

• Remember, the General Rules apply to all Tournament challenges. Exceptions may be noted below.
• Create as many Sims as you'd like in story mode. Do not skip/refresh any questions while creating your Sim. Once the prompts have finished, you may continue customizing your Sim however you'd like.
• If any Sims have the same aspiration, you may re-make them for a different aspiration.
• No changing aspirations during gameplay; what you roll is what you're stuck with.
• Your goal is to complete your story mode Sim's aspiration. Once they've finished their aspiration, you may move them out and add another story-mode Sim to your household.
• You may abandon an aspiration by moving a Sim out before completing their aspiration, meaning you cannot earn points with that aspiration again.
• You may freely add to the household at any time, but only Sims made in CAS story mode can have their aspiration milestones and completed aspirations counted towards your score.
• This challenge ends on Week 3, Day 1, at 8 am.

Scoring

• Completing a unique aspiration is worth 2000 points.
• If an aspiration is not completed, each milestone in the aspiration is worth 200 points.
• Having another Sim complete an aspiration previously completed by a previous Sim is worth 1000 points.
• If a duplicate aspiration is not completed, each milestone in the aspiration is worth 100 points.

Example: I have 3 Sims fully complete unique aspirations(2000 each), 1 Sim repeat a previously completed aspiration(1000), and another Sim finishes three milestones of their aspiration(200 for each milestone, for a total of 600).
6000 + 1000 + 600 for a total score of 7,600.

Oh, this sounds really fun!
My first Story Mode sim will probably get Friends of the Animals, though, LOL!

You're diving in? That is awesome.

Haha, what appeals to me about this particular challenge is that I can't practice for it.

That makes it appealing to me as well and in the case of the 'setting fires while cooking' challenge, let's just say I don't need practice in cooking fires in Sims 4.

@Deklitch  LOL! When I read the description of the Unlucky Chef Challenge, you immediately crossed my mind. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I want to double check - the only restriction on changing things from what we 'roll' from story mode is the aspiration.

We can change careers, traits etc in game if we want to?

Thank you

Yes; everything else is fair game.

When you talk about 'milestones in the aspiration' are they (in Leader of the Pack Aspiration) Get Accepted, Private Gathering, Spread the Word, Leader of the Pack, or are they Start or Join a Club, buy a club perk, Be in a club gathering for 12 hours, etc.

Thank you,

I am not in-game now to check, but if memory serves me, Get Accepted, Private Gathering, and Spread the Word are the numbered milestones -- the main subsections of a given Aspiration. Under each numbered milestone you have your tasks to finish those milestones.

Thank you, Metro

[kinseyam]

Very fun! I feel like I had many ideas on how to do this better, but it took awhile just to play through! I finished with 11 unique aspirations complete, and 20 aspiration milestones, for a total of 26,000 points. Thanks for another fun challenge!

[Metropolis Man]

This challenge ends Sunday night, so post your scores soon. Good luck finishing up!

[junegem]

Really fun to do and reminded of how set in my ways I get and how few things I persevere with when the going gets tough. Gameplay and real life. Note to self must do better.

These are my scores, hope the maths is correct. I completed 7 complete Aspirations , so 7 x 2000 = 14000 and then 11 milestones , so 11 x 200 = 2200, therefore totalling 16,200.[/b]

Thanks again to the team for challenging us and putting in the time and effort to set them up. Good luck everyone and enjoy your weekend,

[Deklitch]

Two things
1) If I can't get to the end of the two weeks in game, do I still post a score to that point, or is it DNF.

2) What if one of my scoring folk dies and prior to death they had completed one/more of their milestones? Do I count those milestones? (One of mine narrowly avoided death)
