This challenge requires no expansion packs

Okay, your goal is to help 4 teens raise themselves to elders, the teens are all siblings and have just moved out from a poor family. They can be any genders you want but they must have the 'Slob' and 'Couch Potato' traits, you may pick the rest. They may only have 1 helpful trait each and two teens can not have the same helpful trait. These traits include: Kleptomaniac, Green Thumb, Genius, Artistic, and well, you get the idea. Now on to some more bossy rules

Once you have furnished their house set the funds to 1000.
NO cheats except from setting their funds to 1000.
If one of your sims is a kleptomaniac you may only sell the items they steal once a week
Set all the life stages to as long as they will go.
The teens cannot be supernatural.
You may adopt a pet but only when the teens are YA.
You cannot age the sims with birthday cakes.
None of the sims can get jobs until they are Adults.
The pet is not allowed to make money in any way.
The pet needs to be fed by the sims, NOT fending for itself.
You have failed the challenge if one of the sims dies.
None of your sims are allowed to get married.
When your teens age up you must randomize their new trait and stick with the first one you got.

Now for those who like points......

-5 points for everyday the bills are left
-15 points if the repo man comes
-10 points for getting a burglar
-10 points if the burglar got away
-5 points for getting fired
+10 points for getting a promotion
+5 points for every skill learned
+40 points for every skill mastered
+40 points for having a child (you don't have to have a child)

Have fun!

Please reply, guys! Its getting boring here!

Adults as YA or A?
Cool challenge BTW.

Cool challenge, but the Kleptomatic trait isn't helpful if they can't sell the items they steal. Also, you may need to move them in with an adult to be able to play with them without mods, unless you age them down in game, or you kill/delete the adult.

YA, and thanks!
