I know a lot of people have challenges similar to this but this is my version.

3. Post Photos PLEASE!!!
*Play*
First, go to CAS and make two adults and one child. They don't have to be related (one of the adults has to be parent of the child). Two adults and a child lived through the fire that killed everyone else in their whole city. The only remaining building is a small shack on a 2x3 or 3x2 lot with only two-three beds and a refrigerator and a toilet and shower. The child has to go to school in another city so she/he will have to catch the bus there.
The adults can only be in the military or law enforcement. Every promotion results in a new piece of furni. When you reach the top, you can buy as many furniture as you want. When the child becomes a teenager, a new family moves in starting a business (No OFB required) so you can place or build one community lot. Build the family in CAS or use a premade family of at least two and move them onto a starter lot. When each sims reaches lvl 5 in their career a new family moves in. When your family makes three friends a new family moves and every new family moved in a new community lot is built. When you over 25,000 dollars you move out and buy a new house.

The challenge Ends when your founder sims die!

Any comments or ways to improve let me know!

It's like simpler (is that a word?) Apocalypse and Build-a-City...
But interesting, I'll give it a try...

I may not play this challenge totally straight. But there's a storyline I've been trying and so far failing to get played out that could make a nice subplot in all this. I may try this.

ok but i cant do it wit yall becuz rite after i posted this mii mom suprised me wit sims 3 so i took sims 2 off and put sims 3 deluxe on

i think there should be a rule that if your gonna woohoo,it has to be try for babie,or rhisky woohoo if you have it,since the fire burnt everything sept the things in the shack
