Objective: Finish a complete sim lifecycle from birth to death of the first generation in accordance with the rules below. You may create any sim directly as an adult from CAS. You may create one or two adults at your option. They must be connected in some way on the family tree. No children: Children must be born naturally. Challenge ends when the founders and the last child of the founder(s) have died or are removed from play.
RULES:
1. No cheats except where specifically permitted. You are allowed to use any custom contents or FFS/Twojeffs hacks, but you may not utilize any of the functions to cheat. No magic mood refreshers. No grade adjusters. No free money. None of that. You may use move_objects or the debug cheat only to move or delete stuck objects and sims, or force errors on the same. You may not delete sims to refresh their moods. Examples of legal hacks include "No 20K Handout", "No Cheering", etc. Anything in "More Awesome Than You" is legal when used as directed.
2. No moving between lots unless required. Nobody who moves out without the use of
No-20K-Handout may ever move back to the lot.
3. You may use the college clock or lot debugger to pick a new aspirationally-relevant lifetime want of your choice, at the age transition, aspiration change, or upon the fulfillment of an existing lifetime want. If you fail to achieve it, you incur an additional penalty. You may only reroll your LTW at these specific times. If you choose not to, you forfeit the opportunity.
4. You may use any of the career or aspirational awards, except where restricted, but they must be paid for. You may not purchase them with hacked collections.
5. No one may move off the lot except by death or marriage.
6. Time-sync must be maintained if anyone is married off the lot.
7. You may marry any townie or NPC. Playable sims may only be married if they were born naturally in game, and may only be married if your generation is equal to or greater than theirs. Nobody may marry a CAS(zero-generation) sim, a first-generation sim may only marry a first-generation sim(or townie/NPC). A second generation sim may marry a second or first generation sim, as well as a townie or NPC. A first generation sim may not marry a second generation sim. Only legitimate families are eligible: You may not marry anyone from a family who has used money or mood cheats. A sim may not move onto the lot by marriage if they have been to Uni, although someone may marry a Uni graduate and leave the lot as a result.
8. You may never move anyone new in. New sims can only join the lot from marriage.
9. You may not receive money from another lot outside of marriages. You may send money to other lots, but you may not receive any back.
10. Only babies may be adopted. Toddlers and up are ineligible for adoption.
11. NO SAVING AND RELOADING unless a bug occurs.
