The Runaway Teen Challenge (NO MODS NEEDED)
Runaway Teen Challenge = Requires The Sims 2 Basegame to play
Hello! This is my first challenge (I think) that has already been done before. It's The Runaway Teen challenge and it's awesome, but for The Sims 2 you kind of need the Gardening expansion pack for it to work properly, so I decided to make up my own similar rules and post them here (because I love sharing things with you guys).
So, without further ado, let's get started!
THINGS YOU'LL WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Tent (polycount of 3394)
No mods needed. Custom content is allowed.
RULES
You cannot talk to any YAs or older until you are a YA (or adult if you don't have the University expansion pack) yourself as they will report you. You may talk to Pets if you have the Pets expansion pack.
You cannot have a room (walls that connect to make shade and a roof covering the entire space) until you can afford one without the use of cheats.
You cannot age yourself up 1 day before the correct moment. You have to wait.
You cannot use any cheats unless specified.
You cannot look glamorous (if in doubt, take the hair pin out).
You cannot get on the school bus. Walk. If you do not have Apartment Life then you can take the school bus.
You can use the phone to A) call children and teenagers B) phone for taxi/transportation & C) order Chinese food and Pizza.
You can use vending machines if you have the Apartment Life expansion pack.
You can speak to underage sims otherwise you will get reported.
You can buy anything you like if you can afford it.
You can make money by painting and/or Gardening (if you have the Gardening expansion pack).
You can use teenage pregnancy mods...
You can go to school but you cannot advance to private school as this involves speaking to the headmaster.
Every time you go somewhere (another lot, not walk across your own) you must deduct $5 from your family funds by using this cheat:
familyfunds [your last name] -5
If you're not sure you can or cannot do something, then ask.
PART 1 - START/CAS
First you must create a Sim (male or female) that is a teen and their parent (again, male or female) that you can kill off later. It doesn't matter what the adult parent looks like, but the teen will be the homeless one so I suggest she LOOKS the type.
Your (you are the teen) aspiration must be Pleasure/Family/Fortune (your choice - unless you don't have NL, in which case you'll have to choose Family or Fortune).
If you have the Pets expansion pack, she can have a dog. Bear in mind though, whenever the dog leaves the lot WITH YOU you have to deduct $5 for the dog too, so that's $10 if you're leaving the lot together (I don't have the Pets expansion pack but I'm assuming you can take them for walks).
TIP: The last time I tried to kill off one of my sims in a fire, they both died. Please be cautious and save your game beforehand if you're going to try killing the parent off this way.
PART 2 - KILLING OFF THE PARENT
I would personally reccommend drowning.
PART 3 - BUILD MODE
Once you have a lot (3x?) then you can build ANYTHING you like (as long as it isn't a room) with as much money as you want (you can use motherlode and familyfunds). If you have the skill then feel free to build a cave, for instance. No, really, you can build anything as long as it A) isn't a room & B) looks like a homeless person would live in it. Again, screenshots will be provided at some point.
You can choose not to go into build mode at all, but to have the campfire I think you have to.
PART 4 - LIVE MODE
To start with, open up the cheat box (Ctrl + C) and type in >>
familyfunds [your last name] 100 << to deduct any money you might have still left over from building your "home".
Next you have to type in the cheat >>
aging off << (you can type in >>
aging on << once it's midnight).
So now you have to start trying to survive properly the next day! Good luck!
MY SIM (NO SCREENSHOTS)
Name:
Katherine Parkings
Age:
Teen - Elder
Bio:
Katherine got home one day to find her mother Anne fighting with her beloved father Richard over whether or not Katherine should be allowed a car quite yet. They were going on and on about how "their little girl" was "growing up so fast"... You know, it was one of those fights. In the end, let's just say there was a little... Um... Accident. She ended up with only 1 parent - her mother. She couldn't bare to live with what her mother had done, so she ran away from home, leaving a note explaining what SHE had done. That's how she's here now, homeless, begging for money in the streets.
So that's my sim - she's awesome!
Have fun guys and please rate this post, don't be afraid to comment and tell me if you're gonna try the challenge out and/or how it went for you! Thanks!
