I like the concept of this challenge. But are you thinking of Sims 2? Because some of the traits aren't actually traits in the Sims 3, as well as other things (there's no church in Sims 3, etc).

I don't have all addons of Sims 2, and about the church in Sims 3: it may be any house decorate as the church (candles, paintings and etc), you must choose the category as the place for meetings for your church. You may download theses churches: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=474311, http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=422495.

You also may choose traits for the sims if your mother-sim fell comfortable herself in the pregnant period and if your toddlers, children and teens were smart in their ages.

You may choose favors if your sim has get more points from wishes for it.

I think one problem with this challenge is that people like a little bit of freedom. This is so regimented that we'd all be playing the exact same game.

I agree it'd be nice to not be on such a strict rule system, we can't even choose the sims traits or favourites. :p

Well, you can choose your own favorites for your sim, but the traits are more important, because the aim of your sim shows the idiom in the life.

Why don't we just choose our own idioms to base our sims off of? The way you have it now is just boring.

You may create your own idioms,it is okay, but i had said about traits before it.Well the aim of challenge to show the meaning of idioms. If you think that my traits are boring, you may choose the traits for your sims by random, and my traits may be only landmarks for you :lol: If you have got some ideas about challenges for idioms,write me,please ;)

Honestly, I don't like challenges like this. There's not really that much room for creativity; you can't even chose the sims' traits or lifetime wishes, you have to go with this single interpretation. I would probably do things much differently. And that's what I think the challenge should be more about: coming up with our own interpretations of those idioms. Especially since we don't all have the same expansion packs; some of the traits above are only in expansion packs and I'm pretty sure that some of them aren't available in this country.

One other thing: I think it would be really interesting for people from different cultures to talk about their own idioms. We could post them in this thread (or another one) and let other people create their own embodiments of them. I would love to learn about new ones and see the different ways people find to personify the same idiom.

Some idioms:
One rotten apple spoils the bunch - one person can spoil the whole thing
Pot calling kettle black - someone will complain about others' flaws when they have the exact same flaw
Thorn in the side - a constant annoyance

I agree with you hugbug993, our games have got traits with different names and it's some problems of course/ And about idioms it is great idea of course . I am learning English and that's why English idioms are such interesting for me. I played in the game with strict rules and i found that it's interesting, but it's my own opinion of course. We simply have got different preferences.

You can be honest without being a jerk. I haven't seen you list any improvements that she can make, only criticism. That doesn't help anything. If you have specific improvements you would like to see, please list them in a tactful manner. If not, there's no point to you posting at all, as it does nothing to help the original poster and creator of the challenge. :)
