Neanderthal Stage
3 Generations
Basic: Welcome to the prehistoric times, Simmies! In today's world we make think that we have all the knowledge, but can modern Sims last in this ancient world? Like all challenges, you must start with humble beginnings. Humble indeed!
1) Start with five couples, each with an adult male and female. Create two couples with Skin 4, two with Skin 1, and one mixed with one adult having Skin 1 or 2 and the other with Skin 3 or 4. Each couple is to move into a small lot, placed next to each other and near water.
2) The couples are to interact only with each other. They may not even greet townies or NPCs.
3) The couples are to try for babies as frequently as possible. As soon as one baby is born, then try for another.
4) They cannot get jobs, or visit any community lots of any sort. They are to make their living by farming, and survive by farming (including orchards) and fishing as the only food source. You cannot do anything else to earn money, including digging for treasure.
5) Their funds, upon moving in, should be set to $3,000.
6) Seasons are set to summer year-round.**
7) Objects allowed:
One small shack
5 beds (Hammocks, tents, or the lowest cost single or double bed. Double beds and tents count as 2 beds.)
1 cheap loveseat
1 cheap stove
1 cheap counter
1 cheap phone
Cheapest table and three cheap chairs
Farming plots or fruit trees (You can buy more as you get more money)
A pond
One sink
One toilet stall or the cheapest toilet
One cheap dresser
One fridge (To serve only meals that the family grew/caught such as ‘Bass with Squash’ and to get baby bottles.)
8) Once the kids grow up, they are to each buy the same size lot as their parents and have their funds set to $3,000, with the exception of the oldest two, who may live on their parents’ farm. (They both don’t have to, but one must.)
9) As soon as you have gone through 3 generations, and the oldest Gen. 3 child turns into an adult, move on to the next step.
10) Ranks are developed based on which family has the most money. To find out which has the highest rank, take any families with the same last name and add them together. Whichever family has the most money is the Emperor, the next are the Patricians, the next are the Plebeians, and last are the Slaves. There should be more Slaves than Plebeians, more Plebeians than Patricians, and only one Emperor’s family.
** For an added challenge, consider changing the seasons to include a duration of winter. Three seasons of winter is very survivable. I wonder about four... **
