Isle of Lesbos Challenge
This challenge centers on the idea of an all-female society where males are locked up and then used only for continuation of the race. This idea comes from the Greek isle of Lesbos, where the women were all homosexual. The men were locked up and taken out only to mate.

So anyway, how does that relate to the Sims? For this challenge, create three or four women and one male (all unrelated). Buy a lot. Size doesn't matter, but you will want it fairly large. Section off one quarter of the lot with some kind of fence. This is the men's compound. Make it sparse, with only a few necessary furnishings and no windows. Lock the man up there.

Next, make a nice house for your females. I had mine Greek-inspired, but it can look however you want. Money doesn't matter. Use as much money as you need to make the house, but once you are done building you should have less than 20,000 simoleons in your family funds.

Now the fun begins! Make all your females in love with each other. Romantic interest is fine. You can use No Jealousy if you want, but you don't have to. No Jealousy should also be awarded to the male when he has enough points. Every Sunday, the male should be allowed out of the locked compound and should Try For Baby once with each woman. You can accomplish this however you like.


If female babies are born, that's fine. Treat them normally. If male babies are born, they can be treated normally until they become teens. They should immediately be locked up in the male compound until they are young adults. After that, you may either keep them in the male compound or move them out if you need more space. Male children may be used for Try For Baby with unrelated females.

Remember, each female should only recieve one Try For Baby interaction a week. Additional men may only be moved into the household when the completely unrelated man dies.

As for money, no regular jobs are allowed but part-time jobs are. Gardening, fishing, painting etc. are also allowed. In his spare time, the man can also paint, write etc.

This challenge ends when twenty children are born into the household. Note that I am not against men in any way, nor am I against lesbians. This challenge is just something I came up with in a moment of "what if this happened in the Sims?"

Have fun and if you have any questions, I will answer below.

Sounds fun I might try it ^-^ possible move every one out of a town or something? not sure maybe designate a portion of Riverview for this challenge with empty lots and keep all YA/A men there until needed, move all the girls into luxury lots when they come of age and start groups of girls like the first 3-4 womens first born girls go to one lot to become romantic interests and then assign them 2 men to mate with and so on and so forth ^-^ if I do this I'll post up dates and what nots

This sounds like an interesting challenge. I have to say though that, yes, Lesbos is the birthplace of Sappho, but it's a normal Greek island in the Aegean with a traditional Greek society and always has been.

Interesting challenge, but where do you get this 'historical fact'? I have to agree with RoseCity. And erotic poetry by a woman is not the same as locking men into cells except for procreation. O.o

Can I play this Challenge with Sunset Valley? Can be funny to lock up all men and put the ladies in large housholds.
If you want to lock up male teenager, you can use Twallans "The Careers" Mod, which has a home schooling option.

This sounds like it would be fun, but I wish there was a better goal than just have 20 children. Maybe it should be like have 20 children and at least 10 men on the compound? I don't know.

If this is all about female-dominated society, I see no reason for the women to all be in love with each other. It sounds more like Amazons than lesbians to me. Not all lesbians are man-hating polyamorists.

I have a plan for expansion... one of the women finds it cruel that men are locked up, so spends her time talking to the men and trying to bust them out :D

It's a nice idea, after running the challenge once, i decided to try chaging it a bit, here's how: I've now got Riverview split in half, one side is female-dominated, the other is male dominated. The female side takes in and female children from the male side and vice versa with the boys. I also have one sim of the opposite gender on each lot (for reproduction purposes) but once that sims has had 3 children, he is sent to a secluded compound in the opposite section (a father of 3 would be in a male compound in the female side, vice versa).

Default Sounds Awesome :D
I actually really like this idea - I'm gonna give it a test try, then, if I find it fun, I might just write it all up as a story, maybe on my blog I'll probably change some of the rules, just to suit the purposes of the story, I won't be playing for points :D

This is an interesting challenge, but you are confusing a school that taught women to write epic erotic poetry and philosophy with a "mythic" group of women who were warriors and called Amazons. The Amazons may have been a male centric historian's version of matriarchal society. But, bad history aside, looks like you are all having fun.

Great idea. My self-made female sims already greatly outnumber the self-made males anyway.

How do you imprison the guys?
My men are disappearing every day and I find them at their former homes. I'm playing the challenge with sunset valley.

the men are supposed to be a part of your household so that won't happen. this happens sometimes in other challenges. it just happens unless you invite them to stay EVERY night, which is very annoying.

Cool, I may try this one. But you could also do it with gays guys and when the girl gets prego they can just have it in the little 'jail'. I shall try this. I'm going on forth right now. :P
