The Cat Clan Challenge - Survive in the wild!
It is recommended you have read at least one of the books in the 'Warriors' series by Erin Hunter, which this challenge was based on, before trying this challenge.
Create a young adult sim, any way you like. The last name of your sim should be Warriors and the first should be ___Clan, filling the blank with the word of your choice (for example a sim's full name could be 'FireClan Warriors') This sim only exists so you can play as your cats, and so you know the name of your clan.
Create two adult cats, one male, one female. These are your leaders. Both should have 'star' at the end of their name (for example, Smokestar and Cloudstar). Both cats MUST have the following traits: Adventurous, Hunter, Independent. Do not give your cats collars, and do not make them mates or siblings.
Move your starting clan into any lot. Put the sim inside the house and lock the door for everyone, so your cats and sim will not have contact with each other. Make sure your sim cannot age, but your cats can. I use Story Progression to disallow aging on particular sims.
Buy the cheap dog house. This is purely for mating. Do not use it for anything else.
Give your cats one hunting skill point each via Master Controller. This is so they can hunt for food without having to learn from a sim.
Now your cats must survive in the wild.
Each pair of cats may only mate ONCE. If you don't get a kit with one of your founders' traits, game over! Name all of your kits something that ends in 'kit' (for example: Redkit) and give them one hunting point each.
If you get a kit with at least one of your founders' traits, keep playing. They will be one of your new leaders when your old ones die. If your cat had multiple kittens with the traits your need, pick whichever one of them you want to be future leader. When your kits reach adulthood, rename them to a two part name, such as 'Redtail', which shows your kits are now full fledged warriors!
If you meet a stray cat, you can choose to fight or befriend them. The latter is recommended because you can recruit new warriors this way! If one of your cats befriends a stray, you may add them to your household using Master Controller. Don't forget to give the new warrior a two part name!
Added 10/26/11: Strays can be difficult to find sometimes, so you shouldn't have to rely on them to be a mate for your heir. This is where your sim can come in handy. Use your sim to adopt an adult cat from the shelter. When the cat arrives, give them a two part name and you now have your new warrior and mate for your heir!
Once your previous leaders die, they are with StarClan, and your heir is the new leader! Rename your heir to have 'star' after their name ('Redstar') and if your new leader has a mate, rename them as well!
The challenge ends if you fail to reproduce a kit with at least one of your founders' traits, or if all of your cats die.
This may work for dogs and horses too, though I haven't tried. Have fun making a clan, and I'd love to see pics!
