Opposites Attract Challenge
Some people say opposites attract and I wonder….do they really? Even in Sims un-reality?

Setting up:

Create 2 Young Adult Sims in CAS: 1 Male, 1 Female. They can look and wear whatever you like, but you can make them look very opposite from one another for authenticity….(i.e. One fat, one thin or one blonde, one brunette, one well-dressed and groomed and the other slobbish and grungy - you get the idea)

Assign traits to each sim that are Opposite (Incompatible with) to the other sim. This list will help you. (NOTE: Not all traits have opposites)

Trait Name , Incompatible With

Artistic , Can't Stand Art
Athletic , Couch Potato
Brave , Coward/Loser
Can't Stand Art , Artistic
Charismatic , Loser
Childish , Dislikes Children
Commitment Issues , Hopeless Romantic
Computer Whiz , Technophobe
Couch Potato , Athletic/Technophobe
Coward , Brave/Daredevil
Daredevil , Coward
Dislikes Children , Childish/Family-Oriented
Easily Impressed , Snob
Evil , Good
Excitable , Grumpy
Family-Oriented , Dislikes Children
Flirty , Unflirty
Friendly , Mean-Spirited
Good , Evil
Good Sense of Humor , No Sense of Humor
Grumpy , Excitable/Hot-Headed
Hates the Outdoors , Loves the Outdoors
Heavy Sleeper ,Light Sleeper
Hopeless Romantic , Commitment Issues

See if you can make their LTW opposite as well (Like Top of Law enforcement VS Crime lord etc)
Move them into a house or lot of your choice (Largest lots will also add financial strain as a challenge)
They must live together (Do not set relationship to Spouse or Sibling) and build a life together.

Game play:

5.No kids may be removed by the social worker

This is quite similar to a similar one i made up (but never shared or played) Now im quite keen to give it a go, i also decided to make them into "neighbours" by building a split house style apartment, so that each side is identical. making them enemies first then attempting to marry them. so now im gonna do it haha good fun.
