Hippie Commune Challenge!
You’ll probably need a mod to allow more people to live on your lot. An anti-jealousy mod wouldn’t hurt, either.
In one family, make two YA males and two YA females -- male married to female, and no one related in any other way. (These will be your two hippie couples.) Randomize traits -- although if you get Hates the Outdoors, Ambitious, or Workaholic you are allowed to change it to Angler, Lucky, Green Thumb, or Natural Cook. No Career-oriented LTWs.
Purchase the biggest empty lot you can afford. Buy four bicycles, and four bicycle racks, for the hippies to get around town. Make those bicycles "preferred" transportation. Avoid those smog-creating taxis whenever possible.
Now, with whatever money is left, build two separate residences for your couples at opposite ends of the lot. NO MONEY CHEATS! They may be forced to live in one-room shacks, but they can upgrade as fast as they can earn cash.
None of the hippies are allowed to get jobs. For money, they can collect rocks and butterflies/bugs, fish, garden, paint, and busk (play for tips); they can also rummage through other people’s trash and sell/keep whatever they find, or steal from other houses (if klepto) and sell/keep whatever they get. Klepto hippies must never steal from other hippies. No selling tombstones.
They cannot shop at stores or eat in restaurants. That industrialized food will kill you, you know? No buying books or bookcases (library is OK though). No computers. No paying for skill classes or reading skill books; if you want to level up, you just have to practice until you get better.
They need to spread that hippie love. Each hippie couple must befriend at least one townie (male or female, doesn’t matter) and invite them to move in. Once that happens the townie must immediately quit his/her job. They can then either move in with one of the original hippie couples, or build a residence of their own on the commune lot.
The hippie couples must have sex as often as possible (not necessarily with their own partner, just so long as it’s a fellow hippie) and ALWAYS “Try For Baby”. NO reading pregnancy books (they’re all written by “the man”, man) and NO going to the hospital to give birth. At least one of each of the hippie couples’ offspring must stay on the commune, and marry someone else born on the hippie commune, to continue the line. Keep it going for 5 generations and you’re a Hippie Superstar, 10 generations and you’re a Hippie Legend, 15 generations and you’re a Hippie God.
