This is my first time inventing a challenge so please, if there is anything I forgot to mention, let me know.

The wicked homemaker mini-challenge

The purpose of this challenge is to create an apparently perfect suburban family with a terrible secret, kind of soap opera-ish.
You may choose any neighborhood you want (custom or premade), decide how many generations there will be (until you get bored of the challenge), and set the lifespan you want. The point of it is to have fun and make lots and lots of drama!
1. Firstly, create a female in CAS and choose between these traits: mooch, snob, schmoozer, evil, dramatic, hot-headed, dislikes children, insane, kleptomaniac, ambitious, flirty,party animal, commitment issues, charismatic, perfectionist and inappropriate. Choose whatever you like best and her favorites don’t matter. Also, pick Gold Digger, Swimming in Cash, Possession in nine tents of the law, Heart Breaker, anything that is not career related.
2. Secondly, move her into whatever she can afford to buy, a lot or a small house.
3. She cannot move out into a bigger home until she finds a potentially rich man to marry. She may destroy his marriage, move in with him and his kids etc. Moving out of the previously mentioned small house or lot is required. If the said guy isn’t rich she may use the motherlode cheat once*!
4. She can have a job before getting married/moving in with her partner but not work afterwards. Hobbies (styling, painting, writing, gardening) are allowed but she has to appear as being unemployed. She is allowed to own a business though.
5. Now the drama begins! Cheat, cheat, cheat! Have kids with other people besides her spouse (mailman, neighbor etc), organize parties, go to clubs, go to the spa every day, let the kids in a nanny’s care.
6. You may have a live-in nanny/maid if you want.
7. The heir can be a girl with similar traits and same interests. You may choose the kids’ traits as they grow but remember to pick the right ones from the list at #1 for the heiress. It doesn’t matter if the heiress is her spouse’s offspring or not but preferably not.
7a. Optional: If you want a male heir, choose one with the same interests/traits as his mother. He can have a job but his wife cannot.
8. Never divorce, even if they can’t stand each other. If the spouse dies then she can re-marry… Spare heirs may stay in or be kicked out or serve as nannies.
9. The heiress may move out of the parents’ house once reaching YA status and continue the legacy on another lot/house but this is optional.

*You cannot use cheats except motherlode but only once in the entire challenge. Also, using mods that makes them skill faster, earn promotions faster, don’t age, etc. aren’t allowed.

Points (if you want to count points)

*100 points if she manages to complete her LTW before getting married.
*50 points for completing a LTW after marriage
*50 points for getting married
*100 points for getting married to a rich sim
*50 points for every child that is not her spouse’s
*75 points for every extramarital affair
*100 points for an extramarital affair with a NPC
*20 points if a child finishes school with grade A

*-50 points for getting caught cheating

Ok so now I am playtesting it and it's really fun, set the lifespan to 'long'. My female sim (Scarlet Rouge) married an adult, who already had a teenage son and a toddler son with his adult wife. I broke them up and she (Scarlet) ended up marrying him and now has 2 boys, one from an affair with the mailman. And is expecting another one with a neighbor. I might post some pictures later. Whef!

I just discovered this challenge and I thought it will pe fun (lots of drama), so I decided to try it ^__^.
My female sim, Alma Constante jus arrived in town, got a job in the Business career (where she met her first lover, her boss) and, when she though everything was just doing fine and she almost reached her dream of marrying a fine sim, she just discovered someone else, richer.So, she had to change her plan.
Photos and the first chapter at http://mysims-stories.blogspot.com/...ettos-ch-1.html .
I'll post another chapter soon ^__^

I am so happy you are having as much fun as I am having with it! My sim currently has 4 kids, each with different dads. Needless to say, it is as chaotic as it can get with so many toddlers.

Yes, the challenge is very fun ^__^ I can't wait to play again with my sim (because it's the first time when I'm playing like this).Alma curently has no kids, but I'm sure she'll have some soon (and I can't wait that ^^ Sims 3 toddlers are so sweet ^^ ) ... maybe with her boss.But I have to make her meet more rich men (I don't want the fathers of her babies to be poor sim).
Maybe you could post some photos from your game too ^__^

Meet Scarlet Rouge (Yes, her name is ironic)

She currently lives in Neverglade, a town which I populated with my own sims. One of them is the Cardena family and she actually made her husband divorce his wife and move in with her:

From that point, I made him work as a Private investigator (he is now at the top of that career). So he was gone all day and she managed to cheat enough to spawn 4 different babies from 4 different dads.

and Eloise, who will probably be my heiress:

So that's like a summary of what I've done. Probably what i like most about this is the fact that I don't get to concentrate on skills, which sometimes ruins it for me.

I love the name you gave to her!I know it's ironic, but it sounds sofisticated ^^
Oh, and she looks so ... vintage.I like it ^^
Eloise's eyes are so beautiful.I can't wait to see more pictures of her (I think I have a favourite ^^ ).

I'm back and I updated my story.i really enjoy writing about Alma's life.
Now, Alma is married and she moved in her husband's house.She started to live her life as she always wanted: as a beautiful, young woman.But ... something unexpected happenes.

Alma is now married to Max and she spends the next years partying, going to SPA and cheatting her husband.Finally, Max finds everything and confronts her.She starts crying.
The next day she discoveres something that will probably change her life.And her husband's life too.

Offtopic: Lady Scarlet-Are you by chance from Romania?

On topic: Whef, the kids are all grown up! 4 teenagers in one household? That's nuts!

Scarlet Rouge's husband finally passed away from drowning 10 days before dying of old age and now she is about to marry the only man she has ever cared about-Henry, Gwyneth's father.

I have an annoying glitch and she cannot talk to the ghost of her deceased husband-which means that she cannot fulfill her LTW of becoming a Gold digger! Gah, it's so frustrating!

Actually, I am from Romania o.O How did you know?It was my horrible english, right ?^^"
I'll write more of Alma's story tomorrow and I'l post the new chapter as soon as possible ^__^
Oh, and about the kids.Well ... the house is already a mess, with Alma out all the day and night and her husband always at work ... but I guess it can pe worse.

No, not at all...I am from Romania as well, it's just a talent of mine, I recognize my own kin easily lol.

I know, it will get better once they transition to kids and are no longer so dependant on their parents.

WoW! Funny thing how we met.What city are you from?

By the way, good luck with the kids ^.~

I'm back with my story.This time Alma in pregnant again and she gives birth to a little girl.
But she has a surprise.What's happening to her?
Chapter 6 up ^^
http://mysims-stories.blogspot.com/...ettos-ch-6.html

Alba Iulia.

After her husband's um...accidental...drowning...Scarlet re-married her old flame and father of Gwyneth, her third child. Needless to say, she was elated.




Wedding pictures:



Eloise and her older brother, Oscar:



Gwyneth and a guest:



And Scarlet had a wonderful honeymoon in France where she spent a lot of money on expensive nectar and objects:



So Eloise, my heiress, has finally accomplished her LTW to become a Heartbreaker and now has to choose between her childhood sweetheart




...and the rich heir (Charles Montague) her mother wants her to marry (I'm not kidding, Scarlet constantly reminds her how rich Charles is ).

seems quite a lot like my normal play style - my sims always we're a bit relaxed about the subject of paternity May give this a go, it'll give my game some structure

OOoooo, so interesting! I'll have to try this out!

Lady Scarlet, I'd like to say I'm really enjoying your story!

Yay! Well, I decided to try the blogging thing myself and here it is:
