The economy has crashed. Power and electricity are limited. Technologies like computers and televisions that are in working order and charged are scarce. Due to everything, you have been laid off from your job and now find yourself and your family without a source of income. Your neighbors have banded together and are creating a small community garden and a sort of farmers market to keep the tiny amount of money they still have flowing. You feel ready to enter this new lifestyle... but can it really work?

Highly Suggested Material (you don't have to have it, you can get along without it)-
+ Store Content - Humble Harvest Stands

+ Nraas Mod - Homeschooling

+ Expansion Pack - Ambitions

Goal-
Raise your family with these guidelines until your second child has reached young adult.

Before You Play-
+ Choose the world of Sunset Valley and delete the Abandoned Warehouse, the Doo Peas Corporate Tower, the Modern Art Museum, the Science and Military Facilities, and Little Corsican Bistro. They've all gone out of business, and the military is doing more important things!
+ Make your family of sims. It should be two married young adults and their kid, a toddler. Gender has no meaning here, do what you wish.
+ Choose a spot to be your community garden, preferably near the town center and the grocery store. If you have the H.H. Stands, set up a bunch of them here around the edge, leaving room for the plants in the middle.

How To Play-
+ You are not allowed to buy any phones, computers, or TV's that do not come with the home that you originally get.
+ Do not get a job! Go to Central Park the first chance you get and make the two YA's get at least one skill in gardening by harvesting the apple trees there. Then, if you have Ambitions, enroll as a self-employed gardener. All money must be earned by gardening and any opportunities involving money that you get.
+ Get some money by selling the apples you harvest and buy some seeds of any kind to plant at the community garden.
+ Every meal must be actually cooked, no 'Quick Meals' here!
+ When your kid ages up into a child, the parents must either 'Try For Baby' or adopt a baby. The same rules I gave for kid 1 go for kid 2 as well.
+ The toddler must learn to walk, talk, and use the potty before aging up into a child.
+ As a child, they can either be homeschooled and get their homework from the computers at the library, or go to regular school- either way, they must have an A grade before they age up. They can also, if you have the stuff, run lemonade stands and have bake sales to help out the family's money situation.
+ The kids cannot get part-time jobs anywhere but the grocery store when they become teens.
+ The kids may get married and have kids of their own when they are old enough, but you automatically WIN when kid 2 ages up into a young adult. You may continue the challenge for longer and make it a legacy challenge if you like!
+ If any of your sims die at any time, you lose. You LOSE.

Good luck, and have fun!
