Tutorial

6. No random townies Mod

Prevents the game from further spawning and generating townies

Make sure to have enough unemployed sims that can fill npc jobs such as waiters, baristas, etc.

7. Sim spawn overhaul Mod

Sims only show up in their own residential worlds

Adds realism and doesn't break immersion

Days of the Week Challenge

Feeling uninspired with your sims and looking for some strategic gameplay? Well I came up with this idea in the shower a few nights ago because being a daycare teacher has poisoned my mind with various songs to remember the days of the week! And now I present to you my first ever attempt at creating a sims challenge! (Go easy on me)

Welcome to the Days of the Week Challenge! A seven generation challenge where every sim is inspired by a different day of the week. 

Standard Rules: 

Absolutely no money cheats, build your sims from the ground up! 

Keep the lifespan on Normal. 

You must complete each heir’s aspiration, careers aren’t necessary unless stated otherwise.

If you miss something, just keep going! Have fun with it! 

Feel free to tweak this as you see fit (i.e. If there’s a trait or career you don’t have in your game, substitute for what best fits)

If you actually play this challenge, I wanna see your posts so please tag them with #dotwchallenge!
