Characters
To begin, create 1 Bluth Family Household (you’ll be splitting them up later). If you have mods, great! If not, just make George in a separate household and marry Lucille; it’s not ideal but I think it should work. In this household make Lucille, George, Gob, Michael, Buster, Lindsay, Tobias, Maeby, and George-Michael Bluth as follows:1. Lucille Bluth: scheming matriarch of the family, married to George.
~Female elder
~Traits: materialistic, snob, mean
2. George Bluth: patriarch of the family, arrested for poor business practices
~Male elder
~Traits: self-assured, non-committal, ambitious
3. Gob Bluth: oldest child of Lucille and George Bluth, a magician and serial romantic.
~Adult male
~Traits: romantic, goofball, non-committal
4. Michael Bluth: younger son of Lucille and George Bluth, a businessman who tries to hold his family together.
~Adult male
~Traits: family-oriented, ambitious, good
5. Buster Bluth: youngest child of Lucille and George Bluth, an awkward mama’s boy.
~Young adult male
~Traits: loner, childish, squeamish or geek
6. Lindsay Bluth Funke: spoiled daughter of Lucille and George, married to Tobias and mother of Maeby.
~Female adult
~Traits: romantic, materialistic, insider or noncommittal
7. Tobias Funke: wife of Lindsay and father of Maeby, a former doctor and never-nude.
~Adult male
~Traits: dance machine, squeamish or cheerful, creative
8. Maeby Funke: daughter of Tobias and Lindsay Funke, a mischievous teenager and a compulsive liar. She is often forgotten by her parents, so she acts out for attention.
~Teen female
~Traits: self-assured, romantic, mean
9. George-Michael Bluth: son of Michael Bluth, a generally good kid but cripplingly awkward. A long running joke in the show is his crush on his cousin Maeby.
~Teen male
~Traits: good, loner, genius
Households
Split the main Bluth/Funke household into 3 parts; Lucille and Buster in one household, George Bluth on his own, and the rest in a single household. Create Lucille and Buster a small place of their own (in the show they live in a penthouse, I don’t have City Living). Make George’s lot look like a Prison, and create the Model Home for the rest of the characters. I recommend Newcrest for the Model Home, really captures that empty neighborhood vibe.If you’d like to make side characters, such as Lucille 2 or Ann, feel free however, they aren’t necessary for the challenge. Relationships you have with them will do impact some rolls, so if you don’t make them just pretend the relationship is 0%.
Playing the Challenge
The goal of this challenge is to save the family business by earning $50,000 by working and through events. If you drop below $0 in family funds you lose. Your main character is Michael Bluth, he is the only character who can have a career. The only other character allowed to work is George-Michael (part-time), and Maeby is allowed to have money making hobbies. However, you don’t have to only play him! Control the whole family, build and destroy relationships, cause mayhem Bluth style! The relationships members have with each other determines the outcome of events in the challenge.Once the characters and lots are made, give Michael the Business career and begin. You must visit George Bluth at the Prison at least once a week and roll for an event with a 1-12 number generator when you do so. However, you can visit him (and roll) more often if you’re feeling lucky. During every visit Michael must do at least 1 mean interaction with George.
