The point of this challenge is that you collect every single collectable in the base game (Expansion pack items will get you extra points; since not everyone has expansion packs it doesn’t count to the main score). Links to guides on how to collect each thing will be posted under each heading. Hope you like this challenge if you try it! This is my original challenge so please don’t take credit for it! If you post the rules up on a forum link back to this blog and credit my name! J
1. For this challenge you can make 1 sim, a couple or a small family (The max family size that you can make in C.A.S is 5 Sims). Sims can have whatever traits and aspirations they like. They can also have any appearance that you choose.
2. Children CANNOT help collect things (Teens may collect things but they also must go to school each day unless they use a vacation day!). This means they cannot Dig up rocks or look for frogs or do anything that might involve them finding a collectable that you don’t have already. The only way they can collect things is for example if you have collected all the frogs and all the eggs you may get them to look for frogs. (The reason for the eggs is because you have a chance of collecting decorative eggs when looking for frogs.)
3. Elders also CANNOT help get collectable with EXCEPTION.
Exception to the Elder rule:
· If the elder is an astronaut OR retired as an astronaut level 4 or higher they may use the rocket ship to go to space. They may still go to space if they achieve level 7 in ROCKET SCIENCE BEFORE AGING INTO AN ELDER.
· If they have the gardening skill at level 5 or higher BEFORE they become an elder they may continue to garden as an elder.
· If they have the fishing skill at level 4 or higher BEFORE they become an elder they may continue to fish as an elder. If they have the fishing skill, but not level 4 or higher they may still mount fish.
· Elders are still allowed to get Postcards on the computer with the ‘Socialize => Find Pen-Pal’ Option.
· If they have the Logic Skill at level 5 or higher BEFORE they become an elder they may continue to use the microscope to get prints. Since the logic skill can be gained by other means elders are allowed to gain the skill once they become an elder BUT if they never achieved level 5 of the Logic Skill before aging into an elder they cannot use the microscope to make prints.
If the elder does not meet any of these requirements they may not help get collectables. Elders are recommended to look after the kids and help them with homework. Also elders cannot do too many activities because they will get dangerously tired.
4. Sims may have jobs. If you decide to not give your sim a job and you have more than 1 of a collectable you may sell that.
5. You MUST keep at least 1 of every collectable. E.g. 1 of each type of frog, 1 of each decorative egg, etc.
6. Aging MUST be ON but you can play on any life span you choose (short, normal or long.)
7. CHEATS ARE NOT ALLOWED! (Although if you character glitches you are allowed to reset them)
Scoring:
The main scoring is for all the base game collectables. You can score extra points for also getting the expansion pack collectables. Also since decorative eggs are only in the game they will be counted as expansion pack/extra points. In some of the base game categories there are a few expansion pack things. For each one of them you get an additional point. (When posting your score please add that you collected the things from whatever expansion pack if you did so.) For every time you use a child to help get the collectables or use an elder when they do not meet the requirements (even if it by accident or they go and do it without you realising) subtract 1 point off of your total score.
