Here&#8217;s the first draft. Thoughts?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The Seven Deadly Sins Challenge takes your Sims through the worst traits, careers, and aspirations Sim-kind has to offer. In seven generations, experience sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and finally greed.<\/p>\n<p>In each generation, try to embody the Sin as much as possible, and if you think of extra details to make your Sim&#8217;s journey more sinful, go for it!\u00a0 Take your time, enjoy it.\u00a0 Lean in to sin!\u00a0 And because I&#8217;m a builder, every generation includes a building task to embody the particular sin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sloth<\/strong>:<br \/>\nNo career. No degree. No spouse. Your Sim has to make and raise an heir, which means their child has to eventually join their household. But how it happens? Meh. The Sim doesn&#8217;t care much.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration:\u00a0 Any.\u00a0 They just won&#8217;t care.\u00a0 If you have Island Living, &#8220;Beach Life&#8221; is a great option.<br \/>\nStarting Traits have to include: Lazy, Slob<br \/>\nSuggested Career: Huh? Odd Jobs. Occasionally.<br \/>\nAdditional challenges:\u00a0 Place your new Sim in a lot, bulldoze the lot, and use the Money cheat to set their wealth to 5k simoleons.\u00a0 Build them an under-5k house for their lazy slob life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pride<\/strong>:<br \/>\nMaybe it&#8217;s because their parent was such a lump of nothing, but this generation wants to SPARKLE. Think celebrity, having their name in lights, being known by everyone! It&#8217;s all about fame and influence.\u00a0 Their heir is an accessory, just like a gorgeous handbag or a great pair of shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Self-Absorbed and Self-Assured<br \/>\nSuggested Careers: Acting, Entertainer, Style Influencer, Social Media<br \/>\nAdditional challenges:\u00a0 Orchid-A-Go-Go?\u00a0 Orchid-A-No-No.\u00a0 Make them a lounge worthy of their fame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lust<\/strong>:<br \/>\nWith all the resources passed down by their famous parent, this generation wants to have FUN. They never settle down, they enjoy the thrill of cheating and they break hearts with glee.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: Serial Romantic<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Romantic and Noncommittal<br \/>\nSuggested Careers: Any freelance career<br \/>\nAdditional challenges: Build the perfect boudoir for your Sim, and let it inspire your Sim to have children with more than one partner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Envy<\/strong>:<br \/>\nWhatever someone else has, this generation wants. They&#8217;ll lie, cheat, steal, dig, and plunder tombs to acquire important objects, just so no one else can have them. They&#8217;re special, and they show it through their possessions.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: Curator<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Kleptomaniac and Jealous<br \/>\nSuggested Careers: Any. Work through as much of the Jungle Adventure tombs as possible.<br \/>\nAdditional challenges: Steal at least $50k simoleons of STUFF over the Sim&#8217;s lifetime.\u00a0 Build a room or museum where you show off your ill-gotten gains!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gluttony<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThe previous generations&#8217;s collecting wasn&#8217;t enough. This generation is all about excess. They do whatever they want, as long as it&#8217;s WAY too much.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: Master Chef<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Glutton and Foodie<br \/>\nSuggested Career: Culinary (Chef Branch)<br \/>\nAdditional challenges: Build them an over-the-top restaurant that embodies the spirit of &#8220;gluttony.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrath<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThis generation isn&#8217;t content to just consume &#8212; it wants to CONQUER. This generation takes what it wants through violence, scheming, and other nefarious activities, and if everyone hates them, that&#8217;s just fine. Wrath doesn&#8217;t want any friends.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: Public Enemy<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Mean and Hot-Headed<br \/>\nSuggested Career: Criminal (Boss Branch)<br \/>\nAdditional challenges: Make a hideout for your criminal and their crew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greed<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThis generation takes materialism to an extreme. While nearly every sin contains some aspect of greed, it&#8217;s time to spend your last generation securing your Sim&#8217;s financial and material legacy.\u00a0 Build a fortune and a mansion so amazing that the family will be remembered forever.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy OR Mansion Baron<br \/>\nTraits at aging into Young Adult should include Snob and Ambitious<br \/>\nSuggested Careers: Business (either branch), Politician (Politician Branch), Tech Guru (either branch)<br \/>\nAdditional challenge: Build a mansion worth at least $250k simoleons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working on a Sims 4 challenge based around the Seven Deadly Sins.
