Hey everyone!
I’m starting to go through the recently released patches and game packs and working on updating the Legacy Challenge rules accordingly. Because of how long of a hiatus I had to take from the Legacy Challenge and Sims in general, it might take a while to find everything that needs to change.
It is no secret that when I made the Wonder Child challenge, I had the Apocalypse Challenge in mind already. In the original Apocalypse Challenge, you began with a new Young Adult sim in College who was able to spend their time there restriction-free and thus be built up before having to brave the harshness of life in an Apocalypse Challenge.
The Sims 4 didn’t have that sort of mechanic yet. Oh sure, you could just download a sim off the exchange but you would want a sim that was built from the ground up to have as many skill points and traits as possible to maximize the benefit you received from them starting your Apocalypse Challenge.
So now, thanks to the Wonder Child Challenge, we have a healthy crop of brilliant young adults out there, waiting to brave the end of the world.
What if… What if we used them for something else? I’m toying with the notion that the Wonder Child challenge could lead into a business-based challenge where the wonder child is the entrepreneur. Thus they could potentially use some of their starting skills and traits to gain an edge in the business world.
Now I don’t know ALL the details of Get to Work (Sadly I was not invited to Creator’s Camp for this pack, and thus don’t have any early hands-on experience with the game). I can tell you that it will be more than just “Reach a max level business.”
What do you think about having your Wonder Child start a business? Do you think it would add to, or take away from a Business based challenge? Let me know your thoughts!
Like the new features of child rearing? Think you’re a pretty good Sim parent? Interested in a shorter but more intense challenge than the Legacy Challenge?
Presenting the Wonder Child Challenge! Test your parental mettle when you try to raise the most skilled, successful and educated child from birth to young adulthood. (You can also find a link to the Challenge in the drop-down menu above under “Other Challenges”.)
Here is a video to help get you started. Below that is a link to the rules of the challenge.
